The Question of jurisdiction.

To The Editor Of The EUeRiag critic:
In last evenings CRITIC "Layman
seems to be much exercised about the
question of jurisdiction in the case
of the assassin Guiteau. The write
hereof is not a lawyer, but a reader, and
such would refer Layman " to Article 3
Section of the Constitution of the United
States for reply to his question, The Ian
luage is very plain, and there should be no
misunderstanding it. 1t read thus:
"The trial of all crimes, except in cases of
impeachment shall be by jury and such
trial shall be held in the State where the
said crimes have been committed, but when
not committed within any State, the trial
shall be at such place or places as the Con-
gress may by law have directed"
This is plain enough, and from the
highest authority too The dastardly deed
having been committed in the District of
Columbia-though the death of President
Garfield may have taken place in New
Jersey Washington is clearly the proper
place to try the case convict the cowardly Y
assassin, and after reasonable time for
preparation to hang him as high as Haman,
as he justly deserves, crazy or not crazy.

Eloquent Extract from the Hon.
Geo. D. Hoar's Eutogy ON Gar-
field.
From farthcst South comes the voice of
mourning for the soldier of the Union.
Over fisherman's hut and frontiersman's
cabin is spread gloom, because the White
House is dcsolate. The son of the poor
widow is dead, and palace and castle are in
tears.
As the humble Campellite disciple is
borne to his long home, tho music Of the
requiem fills cathedral arches and the
domes of ancient synagogues. On the
coffin of the canal-boy a queen lays her
wreath. As the bier is lifted, word comes
beneath the sea that the nations of the
Garth are rising and bowling their heads
From many climes, in many languages,
they join in the solemn service.
This is no blind and sudden emotion,
gathering and breaking like wave IL is
the mourning of mankind for great char
acter already perfectly known and familiar,
If there be any persons who fear that re-
ligious faith IS dying, that science has
shaken the horI of the mora, law upon the
minds of men, let them take comfort in
asking themselves if any base or ignoble
passion could have so moved mankind.
Modern science has called into life these
mighty servants, press and telegraph, who
have created a nerve which joins together
all human hearts and pulses simultaneously
over the globe. To what conqueror, to
what grant, to what selfish ambition, to
what more intellectual greatness would it
not have refused response? The power in
the universe that makes for evil, and the
power in the universe that makes for
righteousness, measure their forces. A
poor, weak fiend shoots Off his little bolt,
a single human life is stricken down, and a
throb of divine love thrills planet.

Oscar L. Baldwin, late cashier of the sus-
pended Mechanics National Bank of New
ark, N. J., in his answer to the petition of
the receiver for an injunction to restrain
him from disposing of his property, gives
an extended narrative of the transactions
which brought ruin to himself and the
bank. He says he never applied any por-
tion of the banks meney to his own use,
and never lost any money in stock specu-
lations. In 1875 he was induced by Chris
topher Nugent to extend to the firm Of
Nugent & Co. a credit of $147,000 and con-
cealed this fact from the directors. Nugent
held the threat Of exposure over his head
and compelled him to continue the loans
until the firms indebtedness amounted to
$2,400,000. He exonerates the directors of
the bank from all blame in the matter.
