WAsnIS0roN. June o2.-Guiteau seen
to be inspired with growing hope by the
petitions which have been laid before tho
President for his respite. Miss Chevelller,
OF Boston, heats tho movement in behalf
Of the National Society for the protection
Of tho insane, OF which she Is Secretary;
and among her active coadjuton ure
DR.. Golding, Superintendent OF the
Government hospital, and DR.. Geo. M.
Beard, Of New York. They ask for tho
appointment Of medical commission TO
determine the question Of insanity, DR..
Beard claiming that Guitcau's trial through
the phenomenal incapaclty Of Scoville, was
nothing but farce. DR.. Mcfarland OF
the Jacksonville, H., asylum, and others
hold tho same view, that the prisoner had
no defence whatever. On this point the
President keeps his own counsel in tho
matter, and simply states in answer to the
petition that he will giyeit due attention.
The Polish glazier, in whose putty bull
one OF the bullets which Guitcau fired ut
the President is said to have lodged, is
here from Brooklyn for the purpose OF Sc.
curing this mournful relic OF the great tray
edy. 1t was taken in charge by the Dis
trict Attorney. The glazicr, who now lives
IN Brooklyn, seems to think that he has a
prior claim to it. probably wants It for
speculative purposes. 81. 81,
The friends OF Albert II. Beach, whose
nomination was sent 10 the Senate today,
MS Surveyor Of Customs at Wheeling, ".
Va,rwiif, of course, feel greatly pleased ut
the appointment, mud the administration
Republicans liereabouts appear to be gen.
orally satisfied at the change, as they are
duty bound to be. ..s.F555
Mr.. Defrecs, late Public Printer, whose
health for some months hns been in most
precarious condition, was removed to-day
to Berkeley Springs, his iayoritc resort
and where he has summer residence.
Postoilices have been established at Hat
tonia, Harrison county, Ohio, five miles
from CAdiz, and at Ilatton, Marshall county,
West Virginia, between Shcrrard and
Limestone. The postollce ut Cosgins,
Greenbrier county, West Virginia, has been
discontinued. The mail for this office now
goes to Big Clear creek.
There is u report among New York Re-
publicans today, that the programme is
now to run Cornell for Governor and Sen.
ntor Lapham for Lieutenant.G Governor, the
latter in ease OF his election to resign his
seat in the Senate and Conkling to be ap.
pointed in his place. II
Judge l1oge does not see his way entirely
clear to denomination; that is, he expects to
have some opposition; though he considers
his own chances good enough to bet on.
If his constituents have us good an opin-
ion olhim as his fellow.C Congressman Of
MI parties hive, lie ought to have no great
difficulty in leading all competition.
In regard to the Presidents movements
for the summer nothing definite is known,
and careful inquiries shows that his plans
are not fully maturcd. He will probably
spend five days at the Soldiers Home be-
fore Congress adjourns. l5:.s5 .j3s}
