Gradually but surely the admin
istration of President Arthur alp
pears to be developing a io!icy for
itself which may be styled distinc
tively Republican. It is always
necessary lor any national adminis
tration of this government that
would be successful at all to adhere
generally to the measures and poli
cy of that powerful body of the
people wnose voies ai me jmui. can
ed it into existence. And whenever
a President and Cabinet undertake
to run counter to those measures
and that policy the result cannot
fail to be unfortunate for the admin
istration as well as for the country.
If the Republican party had been
so offensive to public sentiment as
some of the pretentious independent
journals have labored to make their
readers believe, that party could not
possibly have carried the last Presi
dential election, and at the same
time overcome the Democratic ma
jority in Congress. And it must be
distinctly understood that the Re
publican party did not ride into
power merely on the personal popu
larity of the candidates, but by rea
son of public confidence in the gen
eral tendency of the principles,
measures and policy of the Republi
can organization in preference to all
others. It must be borne in mind
that the resumption of specie pay
ment, which waa carried into clfect
so brilliantly in 1S79 under the
auspices of the Hayes administra
tion, was provided for by the last
Republican Congress during the
second term of Grant's administra
tion, a policy that was then persist
ently urged " in Congress by General
Grant, in oposition to a most for
midable public sentiment in favor
of an irredeemable paper currency.
It must also be remembered that
the funding system for the reduction
of the public debt In principal and
interest was enacted by the Repub
lican Congress during the same ad
ministration. Thus in point of fact all the bril
liant financial measures of the Hayes
administration were but the contin
uation of the established Republican
policy with which Mr. Sherman had
been identified during his long ca
reer as chairman of the Senate Fi
nance Committee. Hence President.
Arthur has acted wisely and judi
ciously in gradually developing a
firm determination to make Ins
administration distinctively Repub
lican. In so doing he has found
himself in full accord with a clear
majority of both houses of Congress;
and if this harmony shall result in
the passage of measures suggested
and recommended in the President's
annual message, the whole country
will have reason to rejoice. The
country has had enough of factious
struggles between divisions of the
Republican party, and hns grown
fvery weary of the warfare kept np
against every Republican leader as
being a sort of partisan machine
boss. For the most part those lead
ers are vtry well aware that they
are only powerful so long as they
'tave public sentiment to back them,
and therefore if they manage to rule
by always carefully obeying public
sentiment, it is mere moonshine to
expect a different state of things to
be called into existence merely to
satisfy the ambition of leading mal
contents or Independent. Presi
dent Arthur will be popular and
fiowerful eo long as he respects pub
ic sentiment and firmly adheres to
the well-established principles and
policy as well as the traditions ot
the Republican reginc. Xmth American.
WasiUa'CTOX, Dec. 23. Guiteau
came into the court loom this morn
ing looking rather paler than usual.
He complained that he had not
slept well. List, evenirir n man was
placed in a cell near his who was
Kufferintr from the mo:-t violent tvpe
of mania, caused by excessive use of
morphine, and during the whole
night his shrieks rang through the
jail. Guiteau was very much an
noved, and asked his keener what
was the occasion for such a riot
The keeper replied: "We've cot a
crazv man on our hands to-night.''
"Well," said Guiteau. "why don't
you choke him and make him keep
quiet, and not let respectable people
be disturbed in this ay by a miser
able lunatic?"
Dr. MacDonald again look the
stand and was cross examined by
Mr. Scoville.
The questions were directed main
ly to the' su' jectof temporary insan
ity, and the witness was asked if in
his practice he had not met an in
stance of temporary insanity. lie
replied : "Yes, sir. I knew of a man
who was insane for twenty-four
hours."

he did not talk about it, disclose his
purpose by his changed manner and
conversation. '' . " ,
Witness, not having heard the hy
pothetical qvfstions, they were read
to him by Col. Corkhill.
Guiteau prefaced the reading by
wiying ; "Your whole question is
full i)fl:d.-ehoodsand misstatements.
I make this assertion now at the
outt-st to avoid interrupting as you
go along."
Witness believed, taking the facts
fct forth to lie true, that "the prison
er w.ih undoubtedly Bane."
Guiteau again commented : "Two
thirds of that stufi is all bosh."
Mr. Scoville noted an exception
to both questions and answers.
Upon cross-examination Mr. Sco-viik-took
up the hviiothetical ques
tion, clause by clause, and question
ing witness closely as to the weight
and bearing of each in the forma

After recess Mr. Scoville entered
the court room with the plaster cast

by Clark M ills some days ago. It wae
examined by the experts, reporters
and others and created quite a stir

After one or two outbursts on tin?
part of the prisoner the examination
progressed forseveral minutes with
out incidents. Mr. Scoville handed
up the cast tf Guiteau's head and
inquired If the inequalities wi re

looks like Humpty Dumpty," shout
ed Guiteau as the witness held up
the head and closely examined it.
"Corkhill, I'm indebted to you for

Witness thought the head was de
cidedly well shaped, though he at
tached very little importance to such
matters. He had in hisassylum in

the crime. They were Hnpposicd in

Dr. Randolph I'arksdale, superin
tendent of the Central Lunatic As
sylum, near Ilichmond, Ya., visited
the prisoner at the jail on the oUth
of November, when Drs I.oring and
Hamilton examined him. He had
also closely observed him in court,
and from his personal examinations
was of the opinion that he was sane.
Wi'ness aiso testified that ho be
lieved Guiteau had been feigning in
court. '
Witness believed, taking as true
the facts set forth in the two hypo
thetical questions of the prosecution
that the prisoner was sane on the
2nd of July, when he shot the Presi
dent.
Vp.n cross-examination witness
stated that he did not believe in
moral insanity: thought it quite
probable that insane people might
plan and conceal their plans.
Question "Have you not stated
to Mr. Hayden in this court room
since this trial began that yon be
lieved Guiteau to be insane ?:'
Witness "No, sir. I never made
such a statement to any person here
or any where."
Afterwards, by consent of counsel
on both sides, the question and an
swer were stricken from the official
report.
Dr. John II. Callender, of Nash
ville, Tenn., superintendent of the
Tennessee State Assylum for the In
sane, had given special attention to
the study of insanity for the past
twelve years ; had seen about two
thousand cases during his connec
tion with the Tennessee asylum.
Witness visited the prisoner in
jail and examined his head and
face; found the head somewhat un
symmetrycal, but tho lack of sym
metry was not more than is frequent
ly found in sane people.
Witness had also closely observed
the prisoner in court, and believed
him to be perfectly sane.
Witness gave his definition of in
sanity as a mental disturbance re
sulting from hodily disease; that
all bodily diseases must, more or
less, sooner or later, iffect the brain
and the nervous' system. Insanity
was the evidence of disease of the
brain, and not merely of tl c imma
terial thing, the mind.
Witnef s did not believe in moral
insanity or hereditary insanity.savc
only in the idea of a great suscepti
bility to the development of insanity
in the children of insane parents.

Judge Davidge then proceeded to
speak of the motiop. He believed
the time had come when every one
present was satisfied that the prison
er wus perfectly sane in respect of
his behavior and amenable to the
same rules r.s other prisoners. In
the case of General Sickles, who
was tried in this court for murder,
the Judge refused to deviate from
the rule, although he was a distin
guished lawyer and a member of
congress at the time, and he sat in
the prisoner's dock during his trial.
Mr. Scoville said he would assent
to any proposition which might be
deemed necessary. No one had
suffered more than he had from the
prisoner's behavior.
Guiteau (interrupting) "Well,
it's because you are a jackass in this
case. If I had decent counsel I :
shouldn't have any occasion for re
marks. You are doing well enough
on your theory, but your theory is j
altogether too narrow. You have '
not brains enough for this case."'
Col. Heed denied the assumption
that the prisoner's sanity had been
established. No human knowledge
could fathom tho workings of the'
insane mind, and humanity would
dictate if a resonable doubt should
exist that leniency be extended to
wards him. He thought an admo
nition from the court would suffice.
Col. Corkhill insisted upon the
removal of the prisoner to the dock,
and the removal from around him
of the special policemen who were
not regular attaches of the court;
that he should he kept in the dock
with no other special protection than
is accorded any other prisoner.
Guiteau, trembling with anger or
apprehension, shouted out, "You
want to shoot me, do you, Corkhill?
You can't convict me, so vou want
to get me shot. You might as- well
hang me up outside, and tell the
mob to shoot at me. I tell you
(raising his voice almost to a shriek,
God Almighty would curse you, sir,
if I was put in that dock and shot,
you miserable wretch, you."
Mr. Scoville, with much feeling,
protested against tho proposition of
the district attorney, which could
not be understood by any one as oth
er than an invitation to all who
heard it to shoot the prisoner if
opportunity afforded.
After a most impressive argument
by Judge Porter, in which he repeli
ed the reflection of counsel for tle
defense upon the district attorney,
Judge Cox gave his opinion, Btating
that no certain measure to silence
