Guilean's trial is dragons its slow length wearily along. A great, many witnesses have been heard onpartof the defense, but Guiteau himself is the principal actor in the scene. His vio lent and vulgar behavior is disgusting in the extreme, lie insists that he was inspired by the Allmighty—the Deity —as lie puts it to remove President Gar field, for the gool of the country. Toe olitical situation, he say 3 made it necessary that Arthur should be made president, and he was God's instrup meat to do it. On Wedncsaay morn ing (the 7th) immediately upon the opening of the court, he again broke out in the following violent speech, de manding that the chief Stalwart lead ers of the county be placed on the wit ness stand. Judge CJX denied the re quest: "May it please your honor, the American people ilo not desire t hat this case be tried a gnin, and I do not desire it. I say, with the ut most respect to this court ami jury and my counsel, Mr. Scoville, that 1 am not satisfied with the political situation as developed here in this case. That is the gist of this alleged offense. The president of the United States would never have beeu shot if it had not been for the political situation as it existed last May and June, and I say I have a right as a matter •ofiaw, through my own counsel, to ask your •lienor that General Graift, Senators Conkling and rif.it, and President Arthur and those kind of men who were so down upon Gai field that they would not speak tofctin on the street and would not go to the White House, shall be put on the stand. I have the right to show my per. senal relations So these gentlemen. That I was on friendly terms with them ; that I was cor dially received by them, and that I was well dressed anl well fed at the Fifth Avenue hotel. I want to show my personal relations to those men, I don't want to except to your honor's ruling, but shall be obliged to do so, and J* have uo doubt the court in banc will give nie a new trial. Judge Cox—Your exception has been noted. Mr. Scoville then called up the subject of President Arthur's testimony, and said lie had not yet received any response to his interroga tories—that the president's evidence was ab solutely essential to the defense. Guiteau in terrupted excitedly with, "I dont think it at all necessary lor General Arthur to be here." To Mr. Scoville—"l don't care want. I'm doing this myself. I ask as a personal favor that he shan't be dragged into court. 1 think a good deal of General Arthur. He is president United States, and 1 don't think he should be bothered with this matter (striking the desk violently.) He's president of the United States, and I made him so, and I think I should have something to say in this matter." It was arranged between counsel that the president's answer should be put in as evidence at any stage of the trial. The republicans in congress liaye such a narrow majority that they feel unsafe to introduce their party and class legislation. They are concocting a mean to get rid of about half a doz en or more of democrats in order to have sufficient strength to carry any pet schemes which the leaders may have in hand. In order to do tins under color of law they have already given notice of contests in the first, second, fourth and eight Alabama districts, the fifth and eighth Virginia, the first, third and fifth South Carolina, the second and sixth Mississippi, the second Flori da, the sixth Louisiana, the third Mis souri, the sixth lowa and the third Maine districts. All but three of the .contestants are republicans. Nearly all the democrats whose seats aro to be contested were elected by large major ities, and there are no good grounds for|contests in any one case, with the possible exception of the sixth Missis sippi district, where it seems that Chalmers was given the certificate on the groud that many of the nallots cast for his opponent were illegal. In a short time the republicans in congress will more fully developo their purposes. Judging from their antece dents it is to be feared that the out rage will be consummated. THE "TIMKS" ON GI'KTK.U'. TIIE TIMKS has hitherto refrained from comment on the merits of the case of Guiteau, the assassin of Presi dent Garfield; but the testimony is now before the jury and the world, and every inteligent journal and citizen can reach a tlnal judgment* Profoundly as the nation was shock ed by the atrocious minder of Presi dent Garfield, tho trial of the criminal has been delayed until the sober reflec tion of the people had taught the su preme necessity-of trying and judging Guiteau with the same fairness that would be aceoided to any ordinary offender and it lias been done. Indeed, many have hesitated and striven to re solve doubts in favor of the assassin, lest the stain of judicial murdt r should be stamped upon the Republic. We have noted the testimony with care, from the beginning to the close, and weighed dispassionately the daily exhibitions of the prisoner, so method ically aimed to shield himself from legal responsibility for lus act; and the conclusion is irresistible that Guiteau is legally and morally responsible and should be convicted and punished as a murderer. If the evidence has made tlie impression upon the jurors that it has made upon the public, there can be no reasonable doubt of a verdict de claring him a deliberate assassin who is justly answerable to the law for his appalling crime. A TALE OF TERROR. Three Hundred People Consumed In a Vienna Theatre' Which Takes Fire Frm The Upsetting of R Lamp Ipon the Sta?e—Many Spec!ators;lnJure(land Others Sav ed by Jumping: from the \\i nd* ous. Sickening Scenes of llorror. VIENNA, December S, 0.30 r. M.— This evening at 7 o'clock a theatre for merly the comic opera house, where Sarah Bernhardt recently performed took lire owing to the falling of a lamp on the stage and the building was con sumed. The house was tolerably fall.' The loss of life was very great. Up to the present time seventy bodies have been recovered. Manj were injured. Sixty were saved by ladders and by jumping from the windows. The scene was! terrible, the flames shooting up through the roof and eventually gutting the entire building. One hundred and forty-five bodies have been brought out of the theatre, but the dead therein are still numerous, many bodies having been consumed in the galleries and other elevated parts of the building. The chief cause of the catastrophe was that in the Cuiifusion the iron partition separating the stage from the auditorium was not lowered. Thousands of people assembled in the neighlx)ring streets where they could hear the cries of agony of the people at the windows of the theatre praying to be saved. The rapidity of the flames prevented the people„from taking ad vantage of the ordinary exits. Only a small proportion of the audience saved themselves, which they did by leaping from the windows, three stories high, into cloths held below. Midnight.—The taking out of bodies from the theatre continues. It is esti mated that three hundred persons per ished. Some of the bodies are fearfully disfigured. Several persons were injujed in springing from tho windows. On the spreading of the ne*.vs of the dis aster the performances at the other theatres were stopped. Four Hundred Consumed. LONDON, December 9.—The Central News Association has a dispatch from Vienna dated this afternoon, saying: Four hundred corpses have thus far been recovered from the ruins of the burned theatre. Vienna, Dec. 11.—The work of the removal of the debris has been resum ed. The ball of the hospital where the; bodies are laid out presents agonizing scenes. The official list gives the num ber of missing at 917. In is feared that as the debris i 3 removed hundreds of bodies will be found in the blocked up passages. The captain of the fire brigade states that all inside the thea tre is a heap of human bones and charred remains. THE season of the year is again at hand when the corps of Mulligan guards arrange themselves on sentinel duty along the curbstone in front of churches while the congregation passes out. Tiiis is the most liberal-hearted aDd self-sacrficing millitary organiza tion the county can boast of in time of peace. Their services are voluntary and gratuitous—they are always on hand, rain or shine, and will not be deterred from discharging their patri otic duty, or driven from their post, by the captivating smiles of young ladies or protests of church oflbers,—JJr. Pl'llLIt: NAI.F..-The subsciber.
