Lynch VS.. Chalmers.

WASHINGTON, January 2j.-The case of
Lynch VS.. Chalmers was called before asub-
committee of the Election Committee this
forenoon. Chalmers filed some exceptions
To- Gyn 1S '' The eIcepo3s 0" were oSd
printed, and will be argued at Il hearing of
the case. Lynch was I lowed forty days
to file his brief, but plobably will have it
ready within ten days. Chalmers was
allowed thirty days to file his brief in re-
ply. After the delivery of Lynch's brief to
him Chalmers will probably not file his
brief until the last of the thirty days, and
the case may, therefore, be expected TO be
heard before the subcommittee about
the 9th Of March.

WASHINGTON, January 2G.-Scoville IS
busily engaged in preparing his application
for new trial. His motion will be
made Saturday, to Judge Cox, who will
assign day early next week
upon which to hear the arguments.
No one believes the smallest chance exists
for new trial, and although Scoville as
serts that he shall exhaust the legal
remedies before giving up his case,
his appearance ana conversation plainly
indicates that he entertains but very little
hope Of avoiding the impending doom OF
the assassin.
The only really sanguine person is prob
ably the prisoner himself. On the
way to jail last evening, although
the van was saluted with a continuous
storm of jeers, news of the verdict having
preceded 1t, the prisoner never once
betrayed any serious emotions. lie
chatted with the driver and guards,
said he ives satisfied with the charge of the
Judge, that il was very fair on legal points,
but that the jury had gone back
on him and brought in
a verdict contrary to evidence.
On entering the Jail he threw off
his coat and laughingly called out,
"Well, boys, they brought in a YER
dict against me, but I'll get
n new trial and upset all this business, and
don't you forget it," He ate supper as
usual, and as lar as could be
learned slept sodndly last nigh,
THIS morning he called for papers, and a.
though somewhat thoughtful and disheal +
ened to talk much, maintained that it
would all come out right, that Presi-
dent Arthur was his friend, and the
American people would not let him suffer
At one time he repeated his assertion Of
yesterday 80 If they hang me, this nation
will go down in blood"

Roman W. the United Statcs be suspended
for twenty days, which was granted. The
Commission rendered decision IN
the casco( Virginia Doluier w. Uni.
ted States, sustaining the demurrer and
dismissing the case. French counsel
moved that the Commission take up and
consider the case of Ludor vs.. the United
States on its merits, without argument.
Counsel for the United States objected un-
less claimant should produce the original
book OF entries upon which some OF the
items in the claim are based. A motion was
made in the case of the heirs of
Daminet VS., the United States, and also in
the case of Girberteran VS.. the United
States, to amend the memorials, which was
reserved. The French counsel moved that
an order be made requiring cases to be
called in order in which they appear
upon the docket, and that if cases
are not ready for final submission, applica-
ZION for extension of time must be made
upon causes shown and that after the LIST of
March next all demurrers will be reserved
until the cases are considered on
their merits. The Commissioners took
motion under advisement and adj burned
to Saturday, January 18th, 1852.

steady, January and February 6 points

engagements for new months, which are

gether there appears to be much conf-
dence. Nevertheless, it should not be over
looked that we are fully 9@l cent above
Liverpool, and English spnners must be
expected to avail themselves of every oppor-

Guiteau .


WAsHINGToN, January 2S-In the Crimi-
nal Court this morning Scoville and Reed,
counsel for Guiteau, appeared, and the for
mer inquired of the Court in respect of the
form of his bill of eptions-whether he
would be compelled to except specifically,
or whether one exception would suffice.
Judge Cox stated that under the practice
of the court he would have to except spe-
officially.
Scoville then stated that he had intended
to file his motion for Il new trial, but he
would like to have until Monday.
The District Attorney objected.
Scoville stated that in that case he would
file his motion this afternoon i'll the Clerk S
office.
The District Attorney asked that the
court assign Tuesday next for the hearing
of arguments upon the motion, but upon
representations from Scovllle that he would
scarcely be able to enter upon the argument
at that time the court declined to fix the
day at present.
Shortly before o'clock this afternoon
Scovile filed with the Clerk of the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia the
papers upon which he bases his
motion for new trial. Not being familiar
with practice in this district, Scovllle CON
cluded to file two motions, to assure himself
against the possibility of being deprived,
through any legal technicality, OF the right
of review by the court in the general term.
The papers filed in motion are affidavit of
Frederick p. Snyder, as to the finding of a
newspaper under circumstances indicating
that il had been read by the
jury, the affidavit of }. w;
Guiteau that he is acquainted
with the signature OF five persons whose
names are written on the margin of the
newspaper, and-which has been seen by
the jury that he has seen them write their
names and believes the writing upon said
newspaper to have been made by the jurors
named. The last affidavit is that. of SEQ
vile setting forth newly discovered evil
dehce upon which to base his motion for a
new trial.
Scoyille's application for new trial is
based upon the grounds of uncertainty of
the verdict of guilty as indicated in the
indictment, which consists of different,
varying and inconsistent counts and the
verdict don't specify upon which count or
counts it is founded Lack of jurisdiction
occurs in the ruling as to the charge to the
jury, including some, and rejecting other
evidence. Misbehavior on the partof the
jury and new evidence, are also
strong points Main reliance is
placed upon the affidavit of Snyder,
who says he is a resident of Jersey City and
was a guest at the National Hotel in De
cember. During his stay there he passed
through the corridor and observed the door
of one of the rooms occupied by the jury
open, and on the table within newspaper;
he secured it. 1t was copy of the Evening
Critic, of December 10, and upon its margin
were names of several of the jurymen
written in ink.
John w. Guiteau, in his affidavit, declares
that these names are autographs of the
Jurors. TheneWspdper Was handed ocONiiie,
with statement of circumstances.
