MR.. soovILLE's ARGUMENT.
In his speech tomorrow Mr.. Scoville
will reply to Mr.. Davidge's argument,
which will consume almost the entire
day Tuesday he will present the
theory of the defence shown by the
evidence from his standpoint. He
will probably occupy three days in his
speech to the jury. The right of Gui-
teau to address the jury will be argued
and demanded by Mr.. Scoville. Here
tofore in this Court, lawyers say, the
accused has not been denied this right,
and upon one occasion a man indicted
for burglary spoke two days.

TRANsMITTAL.
| WASHINGTON, Jan. Is, 1882.

NIT my speech. 1t is an historical
document and l desire 1t sent broad .
cast to the American nation
l am not certain that Judge Cox
will allow me to deliver 1T, but l send
it to my countrymen and they and the
President of the United States, if ne
cessary, will finally adjudicate this
case.
have an encomium on Judge Cox
at the close of the speech, which l al
low to stand, but do not think it pos
sible on mature reflection that he really
intends TO gag me and prevent my de-
liveriDg the speech. If he does his
name will go into history blackened as
a gag law man. Lp sure that the
able Chief Justice and his associates,
who represent the Washington Court
In banc, will spit with scorn upon the
position of Judge Cox, and am sure
that the high toned men of the nation
will do Likewise, because | am my own
counsel, and it is Infamous il am not
permitted to address the jury when
my life is at stake. l would not trust
tue best man in America to close my
case. / take no stock in Mr.. Scoville
and Reeds theory of this defence. l
removed the President and the speech
contains my defence, and it should be
read by every American, and l desire
you to give it the widest publicity by
printing it in its entirety.
l have the honor to be, yours, &c.
CHARLES GUITEAU.
The so-called speech makes six COL
umns of small type in the New York
Herald, and is rehash of the same old
stories about his inspiration and the
necessity for the removal OF the Presi-
dent. and is regarded by all intelligent
men as unworthy of publication and
its perusal a mere waste of time. In
fact it is only giving notoriety to the
murderer and ought not to be counte-
nanced by any one.who would not en-
courage assassination.
