Reformers prirg np on all Bides and tell us bow throe evils can be remedied; Low the Government can bo run econcc:. ically, tho burden of taxation removed and the country put upon a financial footing witLont a parallel in the histoiy of nations; but somehow or other their their its do not seem to work. And it is because tho people take no stock in the oretio government Am ricans know that America tho United StateB -is al most boundless in dimensions and unex ampled iu resor.rccs, and that, despite dishonesty in high places and wholesale robbery in nil departments, it can live and thrive. Tho peopla dihlike a change. Tiny have como to believe that the re inoval of officials, whose inauy years ex perience in office ban familiarized them with their duller, will entail eudlefsnn unyance and complications and disorgan ize buslneo, nnd they submit to miuy things which in tho ordinary nvecntiono oT lifo they would not tolerate.

Under Hayes it tm not much betltr, though that fraudulent prettuder, mado a show of trying r-o run bis Administration economically and well to the dissitisfuctiun of the men, whose Returning Boards had mado him Presi dent without the jdmdow of reason except political expediency. Years ago away back in 1801- w hen Thomas Jefferson became President the nr.tional debt was $83,000,000 it was an enormous sum at that time but in twelve years of Democratic administration it was reduced to $45,000,000. to the admi ration of all mankind. Rut thtn those were not tho days ot Robeson, of Belknap and Shepard. They were tho good old times when every man prided himself on the fact that bis word was as good as, his bond. In twelve years the public debt was roduced uenily half and tho territory wai almost doubled by purchase at good round figures. Would that we could mako the same exhibit to-day. Unfortunately, wo can not now, and we will ut-ver be able to unless some of the creatures who feed and fatten ut tho public board are driven into merited obscurity, and that time will only come when honest, intelligfnt vot ers have tho manhood to vote under standingly, accordlug to the dictatex of their consciences, and not at tho behest of a whipper iu of onoof tho gnat poll.

There would be no change in the other States. The "Kenebeo (Me.)

MORTIItMKH, (IIIITIIAU A (IAIN SIIOI AT, Wasui.yoto, November 19. At Charlei J. CJuitcau wo. being removed this after noon In a prison Tn from Court room to the jail he wai Bred upon by a man on horseback, but the only Injury the prisoner sustained was a brulso on his left arm When Guitcau was put in tho van there woj a man about 4i years of ego on n.sorrel horse within a fow feet of the vehicle. Ho followed at some distance, nnd when It had resrhed the Interned ion of East Capitol and First streets, about tlircc-qnarlers ofamile from the Court Home, ho stopped his horse and fired into the left side of the von. This caused no little confusion, nnd as soon as the policeman returned the fire there was a general ruth of peoplo to the scene. With In the past three day tho mounted guard that attended tho van has been discontinued Today Deputy Marshal Perry Carson, who sto x' n the step, and Policemnn Edcllu, who rodo with the driver, constituted the only guard. There tro several statements about the details, though all agree as to the geuernl facts. One statement is ns follows : Guitcau was standing in front of tho van looking through the small hole of tin- vehicle, a po licemnn being on the left and tho driver on thu right of the teat The colnied gunrd, Perry Carson, was r.n the steps at the back of tho van. The man who fired the shot followed the van live or six blocks from tho Court House and could see Guiteau from the npciture in the rear of the van. In or der In avoid the risk of firing at him from behind and hitting some one else, he rode upon tho left ofthe vehicle,aHH,after getting alongside where (he plisoner was supposed to bc.etandiug, discharged his pistol, but as he miscalculated Guitcau'dcxnct location the bull penetrated tl.e siilo of the van about a foot in front, gruiing tho lop ul his left arm two inches below tho elbow making a flesh bruise, but no wound. Guiteau's coat nud shirtsleeve were torn by tho bullet, which, striking the opposite wall ofthe van, rolled down on the floor, wbcro it was found. When Guitcau found that he was shot at, which ho realized at once, ho crouched down in llio bottom of the vehicle, not knowing but what tills wus tho first demon stration by a mob. Ho cried to tho driver and guard to make for the Court Housoas fast as possible, tho jai! being a mile dis tant. As soon as tho man fired he started his horso at full speed, dashing in front ol the von, tho jioliceman rising lo his feet nnd shooting at him. The assailant leaned for ward on the side of his horse and urged the animal to its full speed, going up First street toward the boundary. The van at once flopped : but, as the horses were re fractory, it was several minutes before pur suit could be given. James Leonard, the driver of the van, says : "When we left the the Court Houso I noticed a red faced man on a eorrcl horse who followed along in tho rear, butat first there wosnothing unusual about Lis doings We kept watching him as bo gradually neored tho von. As we icached the inter section of First street ho rode,ns I thought, to turn into the other street. As soon as we bed posted to my astonishment lie present- ed a pistol and fired, the bullet crashing Into tho left side ol tho vau. Wo were, of course, excited by this une.-H'cled event, and the horses of tho von began to plunge. requiring my best uTorts to manage them. The unknown horseman then rode a litllo to the front, and I wns .mre he was going to shoot cither me or Folic, -man CM hi. The policeman said, 'You tcomidroll' and drew his own pistol. As soon as Edcliu got to his feet ho levelled his pisol und filed ot the horseman. Tho assailant, dropping to the side of his hiir',galloivd up Pint street toward the boundary. Ho got thiee Mocks the start ol us, but I turned my horses and put them nut on full speed. AW gradually gained on hlni,but 1 did uotgetncMr enough to do any good. At the timo ho ihot into he van a crowd of buys wero yelling and looting around the vehicle. The chase, which continued lor six or eight squares wus very exciting. The noise caused sever al teams that were on the street to runaway. We yelled as loud as loud as we could, and tho ieojdo sprang out to seo what was up. The fleeing horseman motioned them back with his hand, and they obeyed as if afraid ho would do them some Injury. Of course they did not know what was tho cause of this novel chase where a prison van, like a small locomotive, was pursuing nn armed horseman. The horseman was dressed In brown clothes, and looked like a country person. The ball penetrated the side ofthe van, and after grazing Guiteau's arm, fell to the floor, where it was found. Guiteau was a little frightened when ho reached the jail. The effect of the explosion was tho same on Guitcau as that which raw soldiers experi ence when they are for tho first time under fire, and he hod to have n, change of clothing on rmchiug the jail. Guiteau did not at first kuow he had been shot. 1I thought that only his coot had been pieiced by tho bullet. Wo did not stop'until we reached the jail. Guiteau, when he discovered the cause of tho shooting, said to Warden Crock er; 'Wheie's your body guard newt In form Maior Brock, Chief of FolLe, and tell him to catch that man and deal lastly with him. I can't protect myself in here. Tell Detective McElfresh to hunth'in down and bring him to justice.1 " William Jones, arrested on suspicion of having attempted to shoot Guitcau, was ar raigned on Moudav morning, in Washing Ion. He waived an examination, and was held iu fi.OOO bail. The officer of the po lice von were unable to Identifiy Unaccused. William Junes, committed, on Monday, in default of $5000 bail ou the charge of at tempting to kill Guifau, was releascd.Tues- day, on giving security for that amount. The witnesses iu the case of Jones were be. lore the Graud Jury Tuesday, and it is uu derstood that Officer Carson and the driver of the vau testified that they recognised Jones as tho man who did the shooting, while Olhcer Edcliu was quite (wsitive that he was not the man. An iudictmentagainst Jones will probably be presented. I IIR 'lit I A I, OF UUITCAU, Secretary Blaine was tho first witness on Thursday morning, (ITth), iu the Guiteau trial. lie described the scene at the shoot ing of President Garfield, in the railroad depot, at Washington. lie did not see the asaassin when the fatal shot was fired. The innin jtorlmii of Ml. lllaiue's testimony re lated to Guilt-mi's persistent apjicals for office previous to mo murcier, unit to tho dissen sions in the lleiiublican nafir after Garfield became President. Tho political portion cf ur jjtait s testimony was Drought out on the crius cxoinination by Scoville, who ex. plained that he wanted lo show what the political feeling was at that tlme,uith a view to the effect it might have had upon tbe pris oner. Mr. Scoville questioned the witness pretty closely on the question of giving re wards for party services, but the Secretary pmiedn wily witness, und Sometimes he asked que.tioos nittrud "I unswrring them. nut ne sam in i.mue teeaera ami political tactics entertained the livelier, and s.uhm.

Oilier wliners.s of the s. o t ng were txumiiied, but none of Ihcm heard Guiteau make use of the expression so often attributed to him," lama Stalwart or the btalwarts." but tbey beard other ex clamalions by him. The prosecution brought out tne point mat wuen uaruem was snot he sank down on the snot where be stood luaicnu u, mill, i(jH, lull icitgiii.iuc iu vu lull being, it is said, to show by this fact that the -i r.n: i r .n I . i .

He was not liartlcu larly demonstrative while District Attorney Corkhill was making his opening speech, but ho became excited at times when tho witnesses tvero testifying, and he interrupted one by calling out that what he was saying was false, lie again declared himsell his own counsel, repudiated Mr. lloblnson, al though Mr. Scoville had explained that Mr, Unbinson and, himself were In accord ) pro claimed himsell the agent of the Deity ; In sisted upon making a speech, and finally called forth a threat trout the Judge to re move iiim ironi the court room. It has all along been understood that Gut lean's defenco would lh based upon his nl leged insanity, and Friday hiscounsel, Mr. Scoville save the prosecution notice that mat would oe the line ol drlence. lie sold nothing ofauy Intention to show that Mr. Outfield's death resulted from surelcal mal practice, though that wns ono of tho points strongly urged by Gullcau himself, in the written siieccb lie tried to deliver on the first day ofthe trial. Mr. Scnvllle's cross examination ofthe witiiessess is directed chiefly lo Guiteau's conductat tho time of the shooting unit alter his arrest. Several .......... .....w. !...! cm . ....I n i , m c-oi a niir vai, iiii iirti .-ii a , nmjr i, in, , a of their testimony related to tho Incidents of tho snooting and the arrest, it is worthy of note thalonenf the clearest and most suc cinct accounts of tho atlhirwas civen by a young woman who hoppend to boat tho railroad depot mot morning. Tho oddities of some of the other witnesses gave an amusing leature lo tho day's proceedings, Guitcau again made a scene, and was again threatened with removal from the corut room. Mr.Scovillo appealed to the J uugo to prevent the prisoner Irom interrupt. ins the procccdinirsand froniclvlnL'outcom- munications unauthorized by the counsel. This enraged Guiteau, ond, Jumping to his feet, he denounced Mr. Scoville, defied the Court to put him out, scolded the bailiffs who tried to Keep mm quiet, ami insisted that he was going to manage his own cose. Later in the day, when in a quieter mood, be announced that Judge Maeruder, of Ma ryland, hail offered to ussist him in his do fence. A prominent incident of the dty was thecxainination of the nistol. which the jurors passed from one to tbeother. Court wes opened on Saturday without incident, and George C. Maynard. electrici an, was put upon the stand and testified to loming Guiteau ten dollars at one time and fifteen dollars at another. Guileau protested against tho line of evidence; did not think It anybody's business whether ho owed twenty-five dollars or some one owed him. "Maynard Is a good fellow, and I owe Iiim twenty-five dollars; that's all there is in it." Pcudiog tho examination of tho pistol, Guiteau desired to announce Ui tho Court that ho invited John B. Tnwnscnd, of New York, and Leonard Swett and A. S. Tntde, oT Chicago to assist Iiim. There was plenty of brains on the other side, and he desired ns much on his iu the inteiest of justice. "Another matter," he continued,"! desire to call to the attention of the Court. There are a number of disreputable characters about the Court, and some threats of violence have been madeduring tho week past I have no fears for my personal safely. Tho Chief of Polico has kindly furnished men body guard, nnd I wish to announce to all evil disposed persons that if they attempt to harm me my body gunrd wilt shoot them down; that's all there is about it." Then, nodding to the reporters' tables, ho said: "Iteorlcr3, put that down." Colonel A. S. Rockwell, the next witness, began to detail tbe occurrences at the depot, when Mr. Scoville interposed, ackuowedg lug the kit line Guileau quickly shouted: "No, your honor, wo acknowledge the shooting, but not the killing." Dr. Bliss was tho next witness. He point ed out on n portion ol the human skeleton, the course that the boll had taken, and the manner in which death had been produced. The wound made by the ball was the im mediate cause of death. Tho cross-examination was opened by Mr. Robinson, with the following very compre hensive questions: "Relate concisely hut accurately what was observed on each date from the timo ofthe shooting until Hie time ol tho death. De scribe nil the symptoms observed each day, and also What woa none. lien in with tho first day." Tho witness proceeded to make the statement called lor. Tho statement wus Interrupted by inquires, and resKiuscs as to tho medical consultations held prior to the arrival on the 4th of July, of Doctors Aguew ami Hamilton. Tlk'h tho witness was usked to describe ncaiii minutely the course of the boll. Indoiugso the witness made use nl un ociual section ot the resi dent's backbone, showing the hole mode by the bullet. This exhibit was laid on the edge of the Judge's bench, where it was the object of morbid curiosity for some time. Then tho District Attorney handed it lo the Judge for his personal inspection. All this time the human skeleton used in the dem onstrations lay on tho desk beside the wit ness. While this was going on the section ofthe President's vertebra) was handed over lo Mr. Scoville, who put on his spectacles for n critical examination, in which ho was joined by uuiteau in the most cold blooded mann.-r.. Then Guiteau again resorted to a newspaper, to which heapeared to be pay ing more attention than he was paying to the doctor's testimony. Tho rrosa examination of Dr. Bliss ran upon the probing and washing of tho wound. Tho witness was asked to detuil tho symp toms during the first four days. It being nvident tbat the defenco proposed to go in to the nuestlou of malpractice, in order to save timo it was agreed that the doctors' record be handed to the counsel for the de fence and by them examined. In the further examination of Dr. Bliss ho was asked; "What was t he character of tbe wound ? Is it n mortol wound 1" "Yes; it is a mortal wound," was the answer. 'Hits concluded Dr. Uliss' examination. In the Guiteau trial Monday Mr. Robin son, of counsel for the defence, arose and complaining to the court of discourtesy re ceived Irom Mr. Scoville, asked to bo dls charged from the rase. During his remarks he was Interrupted by uuiteau, who want ed him to stay in. After a few remarks bv Mr. Scoville, deploring the disagreement, Judge Cox relieved Mr. Robinsan from fur ther connection with the case. Mr. Scoville said the defence did not expect to be com Milled to conduct tbe case entirely without assistance, and Guileau, internsing, seid lie would lino to nave as ins counsel Judge Mogruder and John D. Townsend, of New York, and Messrs. Swelt and Trude, of Chi cago. After some further remarks by the prisoner, Drs. Woodward and Lamb wero called, and testified that the wouud inflict ed on President Garfield was a mortal one. They also identified tho ball taen from Piesident Garfield's body, and it was shown to the jury. Tbe prosecution then rested their case, and Guiteau was allowed per mission to be heard in the opening of his defence. Without rising from Ids seat, he said ho was not aware that he was expected to seuk that morning. Mr. Scoville whis pered to him, hut he refused to stand up, and said he had no set speech to make, bis Idea being to maka corrections as they went along, just as he had done the previous three or four days. When Guiteau had fin ished, Mr. Scoville began his opening state ment for the defence. Before he bad finish ed the Court adjourned uutil Tuesday morning. Guiteau's council, Mr. Scoville, continued his opening speech Tuesday, outlining the defence upon the plea of insanity. He re cited the rulings of the courts in cases where sueb a defence is made, asking the jurors In keep their minds upon the evidence that would be offered on this point. He argued that Guiteau was not feigning insanity, and gave an account of Guiteau's family, assert ing that several of Its members had been In sane. The assassin's father was insane on religion, and the sou's insanity followed the same direction. While dwelling upon the subject ol religious insanity, Mr. Scoville referred to tbe case of Lawrence, who tried to kill I'resi.tent Jackson. As his council was telling the story of his life, Guiteau fre quently interrupted the seakei,as though lie could not bear to hear anything in dis paragement of his mental capacity, but his remarks Indicated that he approved ofthe Una of defence. He had bruins enough, he said, und was n--ta fool. In one of his in- f terruiilinna he declared that plenty of tier- ..n- I i.,irH ,ha, I, i. ........ n,..n.J el s statements, as wnen Jir.Benvin mat ed that he had once threatened his aislrr with an axe. At other times he laughed at the anecdotes toh of himself, and occasion- ly he heled tbe speaker with tils own rrc e jlactionj. At vn tima Ouileau bream very much excited, and declared that Mr. Scoville had been lying to him. District Attorney uorkhlll intimated that tbe pri oner was nlavlne a part, and thrrnwo. tilt between him and Mr. Scoville, in which the latter was loudly applauded. Mr. Sco ville Indicated that his witnesses would be experts, raited to prove Guiteau's Insanity, and persous who con testify concerning the assassin's career and tho Insanity In his lainuy. ins speech was not concluded. Mr. Scovilternncluded his opening speech ior me ocieuce enuesuay, and caned seve ral witnesses lo sustain tho theory ofthe as. sassln's insanity, Gullcau frenuentlv Inter. rupled his counsel's speech, and solemnly protested acainst the attempt to moke him out a fool. The testimony of the witnesses was all directed to showing the condition of uusicau s mind. vr. luce, nl Wisconsin, hod examined him in 180, und decided he was insane then. Other witnesses testified to his oddities and strange treads. Guileau will testify in his own behalf. Court ad journed till to doy (Friday.) WASHINGTON. Fnoji our Srscut, CoRBKsropnitNT. WismsaioN, Nov, 19,1881 Tbe great Guitcau trial is fairly on at last. The sceno iu the court room to-day was one of intenso interest. Still the trial did not pnrtnke of tbo sensational character it would uudoubtedy have as sumed a few weeks ago. The publio here has long been surfeited with Gul- toiin, Of cousro there is yet much inter. est, but tho predicted demonstration was wholly lacking. So fur from any danger besetting the prisoner iu his removal to and from the court room, ho attracted no mora attention than a common drunkard in cbargd of a policeman, or u thief be ing carted away from tho Police court la the prison van. Guiteau himself, though cowardly and fearing tbo mob, was evi dently chagrined to find how insignifi cant ho wns after nil. Tho twelve jur ors were secured on tho Recond dav of the trial, and yesterday the real work be gun, witb tbe examination of witnesses for the prosecution. Tho opening ad dress of District Attorney Corkhill was clear, practical and manly, and bristled with points. Tbo mtin question wns tho molivo and responsibility for the crime, which were well set forth. Tho letters o tbe prisoner read in couiso of tbe speech show tbat Guitcau. even up to last May, had not discovered that ho was a Stalwart of the Stalwarts, or that bo was not in full nccord with that wing of tbo party to which General Garfield was supposed to belong. Tho motive of tho miserable wretch is seen to bo person al only, not at all political, nud the idea of a conspiracy between him nnd any other parties to havo no foundation. Colonel Corkhill is not likely to fail iu keeping up bis sido of the case. Ho is fortunate in being able to do so, for the leading counsel nud brother-in-law of Guitcau has not so far been bbllgcd to plead ignorance of criminal law, to ex cuse any blunders or mistakes by bfm committed. The conduct of Guileau is perfectly outrageous. It was sonbomin able yesterday tbat Judge Coxthrcatcr.nl to order him out of tbo room in irons. It is probable that tho Judge spoke without reflection, r.s it is doubtful if tbo I rial can legally go ou unless tho piii-rmcr be iu tho court loom. - Tluro does not seem to be any reason, liowtve-r, why gagging and muzzling should not bo rosorfed to' if he continues to turn tbo court into a beer garden. Whntover might bo the ef fect of his antics ou tho jnry, they cer tainly have had no effect iu nltcring, in tho least, the popular verdict, which charges the horrible crinio to his super lative egotism, nud not to an insane inind, for which bo cannot bo held re sponsible. I havo been amused at the lioiso made over the petty loosouess iu accountability iu the Treasury Department, because it is really funny to see how easily the pub lio overlooks or underlooks tho most gi gantio robberies. Take thopeiidon bus iness, for example. Tho Commissioner of Pensions has just.putinii cool rtqinst ior S100.C00.C00 lor the next fiicul year. In tho mciintime, as u little difieieuey pocket money, bo wants $20,009,000 at once. Dojou kuow what SIOO.COO.OOO means? It is a big sum of money, moie than tiiu b,-st newspaper man ever nude in a year, Filty million was tho defi ciency last j oar, nud twenty million moro is wnuttd. Ninety million will see us through the present fiscal year. Ah, there is nothing mean about tho pension business. Wo deal iu millions now. Just think of n job of ctrpente-ring for Sherman compared with great peusion robbery, which will, it iff now estimated, not fall thort of $500,000,000 And yet Sherman's carpentering. Shermnus's bay rnm, to.. havo created more vigorous condemnation than this gigautio robbery of thonge. In the forthcoming annual report of the Secretary of tho Iuteiior, much space is devoted to the discussion of tho Indl nn question, iu tbe course cf which Sec retary ICirknood recommends tbat liberal provisions bo made by Congress for teaobiog the Iudlan youth our language; that upon just terms to the Indi.ius the number nnd r.ren of the existing resum mons be greatly reduced; that on such reservations as cro not well adapted to farming without irrigation, efforts be ninda to teach the Indians to become herdsmen instead of endeavoring to try to make them farmers; tbat the Iudians titles to the reduced reservations be indi vidualized nnd also thoroughly protected by lawB, and that tbe more civilized res ervation Indians be encouraged to aban don their tribuol relations by sotting up experimental forms of local government among them as nearly alike as may be to the system of country government pre vailing iu the states or territories iu which tho reservations are respectively looited". AcausT. From odb Rioclir Coaacsro-vosxT. Wiaiiisarox, D. C, Nov. 2 1 , 1 SSI . Since the elections and the President's visit to New York, a fresh batch of gos sip and Cabinet rumors hnvo started. One of these is the revival of the report that President Arthur seriously contem plates bringing a wife to preside over the White House. This is denied by those who profess to know, yet everybody ad mits that it would be a very nico thiug for such a very handsomewidowerto do. Those writers who speak of President Ar thur as a bitchelor are mistaken. His wife, who was a lady well kuown in Washington, died but a short time pre vious to bis election to the Vice-Presidency, She was an intimate triend of Mrs. General Sherman ami wai so much attached to ber that the President recsut ly expressed to Geu. Shermau au iuteu tion to call and pay bis respects. It was euggesUd, however, that court ettiqnet o made it proper for Mrs. Sherman to call at the President's honso instead, . which she die! a day or two ago, accompanied by her little daughter. President Ar thur was very deeply attached to bis wife it is said and has latoly taken tho same pew in St. John's Episcopal church, which she formerly occupied. Tho cor respondent of n Boston paper recently stated tbat Mr. Arthur is the third bach elor Prcsideut within twenty-five years. This is wrong again. James Buchanan is tho only bachelor occupying tbe office during that time. The latest political gossip briefly slat ed is to tho effect that Secretary Lincoln will not remain in the Cabinet, having no particular deslro for tho place, espec ially ns there is considerable feeling be tweon him nnd General Sherman. It is also alleged that Frelinghuynen will not now be Secretary of State, having lost heavily in the bursled Newark bank, nnd feeling nnnble to keep np n $-30,000 cs lablishment hero on $8,000. Postmaster General James, it is said, bus arranged to take caro of Vnuderbilt's bank ou tbe first of next January. Notwithstanding all statements to the contrary, Mr. Filly is ou a not trail after Mr. James' portfolio. Somo very interesting reading is prom ised when Mr. Hlaiue leaves tho Cabinet. and with Bill Chandler gets achanca to relievo his mind concerning MaoVengb, T1 a 1 T T . i iix-oeuaior nowo s name is not bo piora- iuently mentioned as is Emory Storr's us MacVeagh's successor. It is stated upon pretty good authority that George C. Gor ham will succeed Ut, Upton as Assist ant Secretary of tho Treasury. George staueUno chance to ever be Secretary of tne Senate, notwithstanding his- instrn mantality in bringing Mahono's vote over to the Republicans for that purpose. In view of Mahone's sucees-iful Gener alship in Virginia, he will bo it greater lion than ever iu political circles here, Ue is now tnlkod of for a Cubinent posi tion nnd as a possibla caudidato for the Vice-Presidency.
