Theke is a ship-load of English

foreign dispatches say.
Occasionally a man is heard say,
' I wonder w hetlur Artbur will carry
out Garfield's policy." Arthur is ma
thoroughly a Republican as Garfield
was, and therefore ho ran have no
other policy than a Republican policy.
A convention- of tariff men was
held in New York city last week,
Five hundred delegates were in at
tendance. Peter Cooper, the Presi
dent, in his speech denounced the
eytteni of State banks, aua fuvored a
system of national cunvney.
A good many bank cashiers are go
ii.g wrong these days. A bank at
Wellington, Kansas, closed the other
day. The cashier was arrested. He
received deposits after the bank was
known to be insolvent by the man
agement. Tut Tribune publishes paragraphs
that are calculated to impress the
reader with thr Ix lief that the Tri
bune was for Garfield for President.
The reader should not be misled ; the
Tribune was for Hancock lirst, last
and all the time ; fur Our field after
the election, as against Conkling and
Arthur, and i r Garfield since his
murder, as against the stalwarts.
Gcitea.it missed his calling. In
stead of being a theologian, a lawyer,
an editor, or a lecturer, to all of which
positions he aspired, he should have
been an actor. He would have done
well as an actor in a theatre. As a
memler of a theatrical troupe he
would have lx-en a success. His ef
fort at the play of insanity as exhib
ited in the Washington court room
was first rate, and some people were
carried away by it to believe that he
is crazr.
Ir you desire to read how the prin
ciples of the Christian faith in piayer
can be penciled by a devil t fur
ther the purposes of murder, read the
evidence f Guiteau as published in
Other columi.-i in this paper. The
murderer lias too clear a comprehen
sion of first principles for an insane
man. He is sane, and his occasional
queer antics are but the part of the
play of the man to save his neck from
the baiter. He is a bad man. acting
to confuse the jury, so that his life
may be spared from the penalty of
Lis murderous act.
CViNv-KLssMAN Fi-nm is out in an
open letter declaring that the specif
lathe life insurance people that used
Lis name as a reference did so with
out his authority. If the Congress
man had as much sensitiveness on
the pies; ion of apjxtintnient he would
lx more careful of his Washington
ppointiiM nts. The Congre ssmen
are in most cases to blame for the
appointment of worthless men to of
fice in the departments at Washing
ton. It is wrong to censure an ad
ministration for bad apiHintments.
The appointments to office in most of
the departments are made through
the S'natois and Congressmen, ami
they are tl.e men to hold responsible.

Goiteaa as a Witness.
The murderer Guiteau, during the
past week, has been on the witness
stand. His evidence embraces a large
part of the history of his life. He
had been a religious man ; he had
been a lawyer, a sort of preacher, a
lecturer, and had wanted to start sev
eral newspapers, and had been in
New York jail. He would not de
clare himself insane ; he would leave
that question to the jury. A crank,
be said, is the short way of putting
it when you want to say a man is
pretty bad crazed. He said :
My Theology
never made me much money. I never
got much sympathy, because my ideas
were omtrary to those of most peo
ple. They have been looking forward
into the infinite future for the second
coming of Christ, but the second
coming occurred several hundred
years ago. I aever made any money
out of theology, but I was well fed.
The Lord took care of me, as he al
ways dues when I'm in the right, even
if I jo owe a few board biiLs. St
P:.ul didn't have any sum- either,
out he Lad some new ideas just as I
had. He led a vagabond life and waa
in jail half the time, but the Lord
took care of him. I made up my
mind the Lord would t-ke care of
me if I would do his work, and let
him take care of my board bills.
When I bud money I paid my bills ;
when I hail no money to pay railroad
fare I told the conductors I was
working for the Lord, and they gen
erally said, "All right;" I suppose
you would call it "ilead beating," but
I don't ; I was simply working for
the Lord, and I looked upon it that
he was taking care of me. Why I
rode all the way from Toledo to Wash
ington ami only got put off twico. I
lectured in Boston in 187N, against
Inger.solL People were ready to pay
50 cents to bear that there is no hell,
but would not pay a cent to hear that
there is a hell. After that I tried the
law in Milwaukee, but failed to get a
practice.
Is Politics.
I offered my services to the nation
al committee to take an active part in
the election of Garfield. I was ad
vertised to sjeak at Poughkeepsie
and Saratoga. N. Y., but no one came
to hear me. I was assigned to ad
dress a colored meeting. I didn't
like the crowd; talked alwut five
minutes. I had my speech printed
and sent to prominent men. I went
to Washington, and after the inaugu
ration of Garfield I asked the Presi
dent and Blaine for the Paris Con
sulship. Blaine told me never to
sjtcak to him again on the subject. I
gave up office hunting about the first
of May, and began to study over the
political situation. I believed the
country to be in danger, and the lie
publican party going to wreik I
wrote a letter to the President, but
Kot no answer. The newspapers con
tinually talked iilxnit the situation as
between Garfield and Blaine, as
against the stalwarts. I became
I.NSrUlED.
Inspiration, as I understand it, is
where a man's mind is taken posses
sion of by a superior power and
where he acts outside of his own na
ture, outside of himself. The inspir
ation came to me on Wednesday
evening the Wednesday evening
that Senators Conkling and Piatt re
sumed. At that time there was a
great excitement in the public mind in
regard to the resignation and I felt
greatly worried about it. I retired
about eight o'clock that evening,
greatly depressed in mind and spirit
over i he political situation. Before
I went asleep the impression came on
mv mind like a flash that if the l'res-
id nt was out of the wav the difScul-
'ty would all le solved.
The next
morning I had the same impression.
I kept reading the papers and kept
my mind on the idea of the removal
of the President. This impression
kept working me and working me
and grinding me and oppressing me
for about two weeks. Ad that time

His
orks. I also siiv that the L rd em
ploved me because he wanted to ad
v.ltise my theological iKX.k. The
Truth," and lecanse that book was
published to save soul.-, not for mon
ey, and tbe Lord wish, sto save souls.
I kept praying about it. and praying
about it. and praying about, that if it
wis not the I.rd s wi.l that I should
remove the President shoul L in
s.nne way by His providence, inter
rupt ir. That is always the wsy I
have found the Lord. When I f-;-l
a pressure upon me to do ai ) thing
and when I feel ai.y doubt alxuit it,
I keep praying to the Ieity that He
may sho it in some way if I am
wrong. I i ever had the slightest
shadow id doubt on my min i us to
tlie divinity of the a-t and us to the
mves-ity f.-r it to the great American
jf -pl. The inspiration was tirmly
e-tabli-hed in mv uiii.d early in June.
and I l ave never Lad any d ubt of

sity. I r.n l.rtake t say that tl.e

I Murder is a bad word. I call it the
! reciT-il of tLa I'wideiit, ot mur
der of the President I did not re
move him on my own personal ac
count, but I acted as the agent of
Deity, and that puts a different con
struction on the act I say that the
removal of tbe President was an act
of necessity from tbe situation and
for the good of the American people.
That is the idea that I want you to
entertain and not to settle down on
the cold-blooded idea of murder, be
cause I never had the first concep
tion of murder in the matter. The
doctors killed the President
Boako Bills.
I believe that I owe LmIv boarding
house keepers in Washington about
one hundred and fifty dollars.
CoNELLSO.
I was on speaking terms with Conk
ling on the street He always re
turned my salutations. He never
promised to help me into the Pains
Consulship. I never suggested it to
him ; I thought my personal influ
ence with the President Blaine and
Logan would see it through to the
Senate, and then Conkling would as a
m.ttter of course see it confirmed.
On the 10th of the May, lfMI, I wrote
to Presitleni Garfield: I have got a
new idea about 18L If you work
your position for all it is worth you
c:m be nominated and elected in 18S4.
Your opponents will probably be Gen
eral Grant and Mr. Blaine. General
Grant will never be so strong again
as he wa just after his trip around
the world. Too many people are
dead set agikinst a third term and I
do not think he can be nominated
much less elected. Two National
Conventions have slaughtered Mr.
Blaine on account of his railroad
record. The Republican party are
afraid to nominate him. This leaves
the course oiwn to you. Run the
Presidency on your own account
Strike ont right and left The Amer
ican people like pluck, and in 1881
we will put you in again." And I
added a Dostscrint to the letter : " I
will see you alnjut the Paris Consul
ship to morrow, unless you happen
to send my name in to day.
Blaine.
Garfield sold himself, body and
soul, to Blaine. I said that tbe Pres
i lent would have no pe:tce until he
got nd of Secretary Blame.
White House People.
On the 2nd of .Tnly I wrote a let
ter to ths White House people. 1
meant ail the inmates of the White
House, iueln ling Mrs. GarfieLL I
said tliat the President's removal was
a sad necessity ; that life is a fleeting
.beam, and it matters little when we
go ; that the President is a christian,
and that he will be happier in Para
dise than here, and I do now believe
the President to be happier than any
man on earth.
My Book.
I claim that my book is a collateral
gospel. I undertake to say that the
book is the Bible brought down to
the present day. In so far as there
is any truth in any book, it comes
from the Deity ; and I claim that it
contains important truth. My state
ment that tbe 1 resilient s nomina
tion was an act of God, his election
was an act of God, his removal was
an act of Go.L is mr concise wav of
stating things. If you want to see a
specimen of that kind of style look
through my book.
Predestination.
I believa in predestination. I claim
that I am a man of destiny. Napo
leon was a man of destiny, though he
had diilereut work from me. I am a
man of destiny ae much as the Sa
vior or Paul or Martin Luther or any
of those religious men. It was my
destiny to obey the Divine will, and
let Him take care of it, and I have
not lteen hung or shot yet I am sat
isfied wi!h the Deity's conduct of this
case up to the present moment.
Delcsions.
I believe in a personal devil. I do
not have devilish delusions. When
pressed to do a thing I always in
quire whether it is the devil or God,
and so it was when the question of
I killing the President came up. My
! defence is that the killing was the
act of Deity and not mine. A good
many jeople think lam badly insane.
Let the experts and the jury decide
whether I am insane.
Garfield and Blaise Tooetheb.
I followed the President to Blaine's
! house, cue evening about 7 o'cl.x'k.
They soon came out together, lhey
were in a most delightful and cozy
fellowship juntas hilarious as two
1 young school girls. They had their
heads together. Blaine uas striking
the air. and Garfield was listening
very attentively. Their fellowship
was perfectly delightful. It proved
what the stalwart and liberal papers
: were saying, to wit that Garfield had
i ;iiuself. soul and body, to Blaine.

i m n v. and it confirmed w hat I had

j papers. This was a positive eye con
.tirination of what the newspapers
j were saying, to wit that Garfield was
j entirely under Blaine's control.

lican party and imperiled the Repub
i lie : there would have been no nis es

I visited the jail to se? what kind
of a place it might be, for I thought

GuitrtMl related how he shot the
President, ahich Las lceu published,
and with which fact every one is ac
quainted. The murderer dosed the
recital of the dreadful act by saying:
I f.-el remotse so far as my lsonal
feelings are colic riled. I feel re-mor-e
as much as any man ami re
gret the neetssuy of the act but my
dutv to the Lord and to the Ameri
can people overcame my ersonal
feelings If the Lord Lai sot in-
spired that act it would not have been
done. I am just as clear as to the
divinity of the act and as to the ne
cessity for it for the good of the
American people since the 1st of June
as a man can be on anything. From
the middle of Jlay to aooui ine nrsi
of June ell mv natural feelincrs were
against tbe act That was the period
when my natural leenngs were ex
cited, but since that time I have not
had the slightest doubt as to the ne

it ; not tbe slightest douirt mat tne

dent would recover because the Lord
did not wish him to recover.
After answering a few other ques
tions relative to his effort to shu t a
newspaper the prisoner closed his
testimony, on Thursday last at two
o'clock.
Is South Australia sparrows have
become so numerous that they are
declared a nuisance, and a reward is
paid for their destruction, so much
being paid for every head, and so
much for every egg. In this connec
tion it mav be well to state that it is
the opinion of sportsmen and observ
ing citizens throughout the country
that hawks have become so numerous,
and are increasing so rapidly in Penn
sylvania that they are destroying par
tridges and rabbits more rapidly than
hunters do. There are sportsmen
that advocate tbe passage of a law
that will require the payment of a
premium for the head of every hawk
produced in the Commissioners' office
of the respective counties of this
Commonweidth.

Wedding Bells.
lght days ago, the family circle of a
number of citizens were pleasantly greeted
by a card that read :
"Mr. and Mrs. Solomon Books rgwf
ft pjrc of yor company at the mar
riage ceremony of their daughter Charlotte
M. to W. W. Cox, Tuesday, Dee. 6th, 1881,
at tt o'clock P. M., Mifflin town. Pa."
That date, last evening, found a large
company assembled at tbs residence of
Mr. and Mrs. Books, to witness tbe mar
riage ceremony of their daughter to Mr.
Cox. Precisely at 8 o'clock tbe bride and
groom, attended by David K. Cadwalwier,
ot Harrisburg, and Misa Fanny Cramer, of
Patterson, and E. L. Casner and Miss Agnes
MvNair, tstth of ilarrisburg, entered tbe
parlor. Rev. R. E. Wilson received them.
and in a ceremony as nice as it was brief
united Miss Books and Mr. Cox in the holy
bonds of matrimony and pronounced them
man and wife. Thure were present on this
interesting occasion Mr. Moore and wife,
