SECOND CLASS MATTER.
THURSDAY, . _ JAN i 19, 1882
THE STATE CacrENTION.
We stated .last week that the Re
publican State Convention would not
probably b 3 held this year befor e
June. The State Co - mmittee had not
met when the article was written, and
the general belief was as we then
stated. But contrary to expectation
the Committee in session in Phila
delphia, on Wednesday of last week,
only 6t members present, decided by
a majority of one to hold the State
Convention at Harrisburg on the 10th
of May. While a: later date, by a
month or more would have been
preferable, the date fixed gives nearly
four months time for preparing the
minds of the Republicans of the State
for the contests over nominations in
the approaching Convention. We
hear but little said recently upon the
subject of candidates. Gen, Beaver's
name, two months ago,, was the one
most talked of in connection with
the nomination for Governor, but of
late it seems to have surprisingly
cooled-off for some reason.
The Wolfe conference which met
in Philadelphia on Thursday last,
decided also to call a convention in
Philadelphia on the 24th of May.
This may as well be taken as notice
to the regular Republicans of the
State, that unless their convention
nominates a ticket acceptable to the
Wolfe Independents on the 10th,they
will nominate a ticket"on the 24th of
May, and thereby endanger the suc
cess of the regular ticket. It may be
that their implied threat may result
in putting our convention on its good
behaviour, and good rather than evil
may come out. of it. A ticket of good
men nominated as the unquestioned
choice - of t the pitrty without unit&
dictation from any quarter would
leave the Wolfe Republicans no
ground to stand upon, and their party
would fall to pieces.

GUITEAU'S TRIAL.
AJnoa . interesting and coinprehen-
sive account of the trial up to Mon
, day appears in outditorial correspon
dence from Washington.
Judge . Cox has refused tcrallow-
Guiteau to address the jury.
Guiteau stated that he would have
his speech published and on Monday it
appeared in the large city dailies. It is
long, rambling rehash of much that
Guiteau has already said in Court and
to newspaper reporters that have inter-
viewd 'ln it he still clings to the
inspiration theory, and claims that he
is a patriotof equal merit with Wash
ington and Grant, that he saved the
country from a civil war, and, says he
thinks that the jury should acquit him
on those grounds.
On Monday morning, Scoville began
his address to the jury for the defense.
He occupied the whole day Monday
and Tuesday and -was expected to
finish on Wednesday.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Editorial "orrespoisdebace.
THE GIIITEAII TRIAL.
The respective attorneys, pro and
coi►, in the case of , J. C. Guiteau on
trial for the murder of President
Garfield, closed their arguments before.
Judge Cox on their prayers, asking the
Court to instruct the jury on certain
points bearing upon the question of
insanity, and as to the prisoners Te
sponsibility,on Wednesday last.
ON THE QUESTION OF SEASONABLE DOUBT,
Judge Cox ruled as follows:
"In commenting upon the prayer or
the defence asking the court to instruct
the jury that they must acquit if they.
have a reasonable doubt of the sanity ;
of the accused Judge Cox said: Still
another view is that the sanity of the
accused _is just, as - much a part of the
case of the prosecution as the homicide
itself, and just as much an element in
the crime of murder, the only difference
being that, as the law presumes every
one t 6 be sane, it is not necessary for
the government to produce affimative
evidence of the sanity, but that if the
jury have a reasonable doubt of the
sanity they are just as much bound`to ac
quit as if they entertained a reasonable
doubt of the commission of, the homi
cide by the accused. After a careful
examination of the authorities --some of
which are mere dicta, and, others not
well considered or even consistent state
ments of opinions—l am-satisfied that
the best reasons and most weighty of
them , sustain the views which ,I now
proceed to state. I have, examined all
the authorities with great care over and
Overngain. The cases that , are referred
to in support of the second rule are
somewhat more nUmerous than the
others. Some of them, however, turn
on the statutory definition' of the crime
of murder. A great many of the cases
are mere dicta, and some of them in
volve utter contradictions. Not one of
them contains the least shim Of argu
ment. With us there is no statutory
definition of murder. We have the
common law definition of murder as oc
curring when a homicide is committed
by a person of sound memory, discre
tion, etc. The opinions which support
the last view are decidedly entitled to=
mmt confidence. , Tiley reasoned
out from first principles, and their rea
sonings have been unanswered, and in
my judgment,. unanswerable. .In the
case of Stone, tried in this court, a few
years ago, the instructions were as fol
lows: -'ln a capital case the defence of
insanity is required to be made out by
most clear and convincing proof, in this
case the jury must judge of
. the evi
dence- offered to sustain the defence;
and if, on consideration of alt the evi
dence in connection with the presump
tion that what a man does is sanely
done, the jury entertains a reasonable
doubt as to whether the prisoner, corn- 1
mitted the homicide, as charged, or as
to whether at the time of its commis
sion he was in a sane state of mind,
they must acquit I shall, how
ever, adopt the suggestion which is
found in some ofAhe later authorities
that is, not to instruct the jury to ac
quit if they feel a reasonable doubt
about any one - fact in the issue; but I
shall instruct them as to the nature .of
the crime and as to all,the elements
. composing it, including that of respon
sibility. I shall instruct them as to
the presumption of innocence and sanity,
and shall tell them, finally, that on the
whole evidence and on the considera
tion of-both presumptions, if they have
a reasonable doubt of the gat of the
prisoner, the prisoner is entitled to an
arquittal. /
TRIAL NOTES
Judge Cox, in delivering his 'instruc
tions yesterday, modified the first pray
er of the prosecution regarding the test
of 'responsibility, so as.to read as iol
lows: The legal test of responsibility
when insanity is set up as a defence for
alleged crime, is whether the accused
at the time of committing the act
charged, knew the difference between
right and wrong in respect of such act.
Hence, in the present case, if the jury
fiend that the accused committed the
act charged in the indictment, '
the time of the commission of his crime
knew what he was doing, and that : what
he was doing was contrary to the law
of the land, he is responsible, unless in
consequence of insane mental delusion
or other form of mental disorder, he
was laboring under such defect of reason
as to be incapable of understanding
the obligation of the law of the land,
Ana the duty and necessity of obedience
to it, and if understanding that his act
was wrong because it was in violation
of the law,"
Members of the bar generally regard
the,decisi'on of Judge Cox, as a very
fair one
THE OP'ING ARGUSILCT.
The opening argument before the
jury on -the part of.the prosecution was
begun by Mr. Davidge on Thurtiday
morning last.
For the first time we were present
in . the Court room at the opening of
Court and.
SAW THE PRISONER.
,The crowd that daily. flock to the
court room is far beyond the capacity
of the room to accommodate. - The floors
are closed at 10 o'clock a. m. at which
time the court is called to order by the
Deputy Marshal. .By this time every
seat and every inch of standing room
permitted to be occupied by spectators
is packed as "close as figs in a box."
We were on hand at 9 o'clock,- and
through the courtesy of Capt. Tall,
Went in with the earlier portion of the
crowd. OUr position was near the
railing of the dock, just the position
desired to obtain a good view of the
prisoper and to observe his looks and
actions. The court was called to order
at 10 o'clock a. m. and at l 0 o'clock 5
Minutes the jury filed_ in and took
their seats in the - jury , hox. They
were immediately -folloWed by Capt.
Tall and two policemen with the prison':
er, his wrists being manacled. •
He was conducted to the dock within
ten feet of-where we stood and after
being seated the irons were removed
from his wrists. Judge (x took his
place on the Bench, 'and the crieeform
,
allY opened the Court. -
Immediately the prisoner, in an audi
ble tone, distinctly heard throughinit
the court roam, and without apparent
emotion or excitement, Said: "May 'it
please the Court, 1, wish to say that I
was mistaken iii—the charges I made
yesterday against Mr. Davidge. I
received a letter:making the statements,
which I supposed were true. I found
I was imposed upon and wish to correct,
my mistake. I take it back as- to
Davidge, he is a Christian lawyer and
gentleman, but I don't as to _Corkbill.
Igo light on Davidge but strong on
ME
Mr. Davidge then rose and began
t his argument. He is a tsll dignified
gentleman, above medium weight,
past sixty years of age, his , hair has
passed from grey and would be called
white.- He has an intelligent; pleasant
face, and hid manner and personal bear
ing is Impressive. He spoke in a de.
liberate and forcible manner, making a
moat convincing• argument, deduced
from the evidence and applying the
law as administered in numerous
cases *hick he cited. Commenting
upon Guitean's own testimony and
his claiiitof
DIVINE PIIES,SUIIE
Mr. Davidge asked, "What is ii?"
He said:
It consisted in simply writing the
word God where the word devil . ought
to be written. - Use the word devil,
Afr?Davidge and, it became elefiv4.
The prisoner's struggle was ' the*
struggle that every wicked man had.:
He read here the 13th 14th and 15th
verses of the Ist chapter of James as .
follows: "Let no man say
_when he is
tempted, I am tempted of God; for
God cannot be tempted neither tempt
eth he any man; bUt every man is
tempted when he is drawn away of his
own lust, and , enticed. Then when
lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth
sin; and sin, when it is finished bringeth
forth death." •
That, Mr. Dhvidge said,, was his

ludge's instructions, again, Mr. Davidge
said, that in order to be absoltred from

about two hours, and in the mean 'tulle
had an opportunity to oliserve , •
TEE PRISONER'S APPEARANCE:
Jilimediately After his morniUg vale
dictory, before 'referred to, he unfolded
a large roll of manuscript, and turning
toward the broad railing of the dock,
with his face away from the court and
jury, he spread his_napers out and com•
menced writing upon the argument he
is. preparing for delivery before the
jury in his own defence. He announ
ces that his speech will occupy !him
four hours in its delivery, that it will
demolish every theory of the prosecu
tion, and will surpass the elbquence of
Cicero, a Demosthenes' or a Newton.
The Court how4r, has ruled that he
cannot be perm4ed to deliver it, un
less by consent his counsel. He has
given the Court iiiotice that he will
have it printea', and ask the court to
read it before charging the jury. t The
prisoner is a man below medium size, :
not 'weighing at the present time'more
than 130 pounds. His hairis cropped
quite short and his face is close shaven,
except a short bristly looking mustache.
His countenance bears marks of great
mental strain, his. face is somewhat
haggard and his eyes, which appear to
be a greyish blue, .. are sunken. Just
such a face as one would naturally
look for in a man hardened: by crime..
Yet it is :not of that "
repulsive character
that makes the prisoner especially no
"beable were he not charged with a
heinous crime. He was 'dressed in a
suit of well-worn black ; but looked
clean and tidy. His appearance deno
ted a dogged persistency to hold him
.self above civil law, and to paliate the
commission of crime by him upon the
devilish plea of "divine pressure." If
he does not feel a hempen pressure about
his neck that will choke the worthless
life out of him after the trial is ended,
justice will be robbed of its mission.
Mr. Reed, of Chicago, made the
opening argument for the defense on
Saturdny. He will - he follovVed to-day
by,Mr. Scoville, the brother-in-,law of
the prisoner. Judge Porter of New
York, who is regarded as mueh the
ablest' attorney in the case, will folloiv
Mr, Scovilleimd close the argument in
the case on hehalf tif the prosecution.
Mr. Recci:for the defense made a
strong argument from his premises.
His strong effprt was directed to show
ing -the prisoner's insanity and weakness
of mind. He said "acquit him of mur
der and send him to an asylum and he
will be a driveling idiot in twenty-four
hours." Whether the jury; will con
sider this good' logic and some argu
ment in contemplating the very sharp
sense exhibited by the prisoner iduring
the trial remains to be seen. It is
hardly probable that a verdict an be
anticipated before Mondqy next,A
Wei have said so much of the Guiteau
case, we have not space to say much
else, we -will however note a few items
that may be of interest..
THE AGRICULTURAL CONGRESS

INTERNAL COSIXERCE.
Petitions, are pouring in upon Con
gress from all sections of
.the country, the
most numerous perhaps from the West
ern States asking for legislation to regu
late Inter-State Commerce by the re
striction of 'rates of transportation.
A number of bills have' already been
referred to the Committee on Com
merce relating to this subject. The
demd has become so pressing that
Congress must, - ere long, pay 'attention
to prayers of their corporatiod-riddvn
constituents, or be left out' in the cold
when the time comes for re-election.
aspect of Washington appears to be
lest gay this winter than usual. The
sad events of the past summer do not
seen to hive worn °lithe minds of the
people, And there is a graver complex
ton characterizing everything about the
Capital city of the Nation. The Grui
teau trial and numberless other things,
at every_ turn is reminding one, con - -
stantly of the wicked murder ant and
death of - one of the noblest Presidents
the Nation has ever had. -
SI
THE - STATE CONVENTION.
Tha. State Committee, by a bare
majority' of one. Vas - called the &pub
lican State Convention to meet at HUN;
risburg on the 10th of May. The thirty
one members—practically half the Com•
atittee—who, voted against this prepo
sition favored a later data They felt
that the geneiral sentiment of Repub
licans was opposed to a Convention at so
early a period and believed it wise policy
to bow to this judgment. And they,
were emphatically right. The fiistweek
June would have been early ennugti.
and the tiral fixed is a mistake.
This is no mere matter of sentiment
without .a substantial foundation. There
, is, a practical reason why the Convention
should not have been called before
June.' Take the effect in Lancaster as
an illustration. Under the, existing
isles of the party in that country the
primaries in' Lancaster are held on the
last Saturday of May. That is three
Weeks after the day fixed for the State
Convention. The result is tbit the third'
Republican county in the St!kte is either
disfranchised l or compelled to hold a
special primary for the election of dele
gates. If such a special primary could
be secured, there would be less gentled
for complaint; but as a matter of feet,.
under precisely similar circumstances
in formertyears. the tonnty Commit
tee has usurped the power to ear the
delegates,' and there is every reason to
suppose ihat_apon the same pretext it
will again undertake to perpetrate the
same wrong. This is theeffect, if it was
net, the design, of calling the Convention
in May instead of June, and it clearly
shows why. that action . is open to just
objection.
The wisdom of bowing to the strong
and emphatic expression fer i a later Con-.
vention was so plain that it itdifficult to
understand -why prudent men should
have disregarded it. If there was some
sinister scheme of shutting offs free and
fair expression, such as we have indi
cated in Lancaster, then the movement
can be comprehendek, even if it cannot
be approved. But ii there is no such pur
pose, it is hard to see why there should
not have .been a willingness to defer
the Convention iu accordance with the
;general judgment. It is the ono question
upon whiotthere has been a strong el
pressionTand such a- concession would
have done very much to appease the
spirit of discontent. •
But the call is made and the time is
,fixed. There remain four months for
discussion and' preparation. The time
is ample, provided there shalt nbt be
an attempt on the part of County ipom
mittees to deny full opportunity
for a free expression., Let the people
demand 'and insist upon the right of a
popular • election of delegates; and let
them choose strong, representative men
who will reflect the popular will.—Phila.
Press. - f
Governor Cameron's inaugural mes
sage to the; legislature of Virginia is
rather an able state paper, dealing con
cisely and frankly with the questions
of most importance to Virginia. The
'state-debt question is naturally the one
which first receiyes the_ governor's at
tention. After refering to the confu
sion created in the public mind with
regard to the debt. he says: "As. I
understand, the views and will of" the
people of this state, they do not intend
to repudiate any just obligation, but to
assume and tq pay that proportion of
the principle Which is Properly, charge
able to the prek - ent state of Virginia,
and to restore all classes of the credit
ors to a plane of equality." He urges
a speedy, equitable and final settlemeht
of all controversy concerning the state
debt, and reccornends the Riddleberger
bill as "the basfs" for such settlement.
Gov. Cameron does not give any esti
mate in - figures of the total - amount
of the debt, but starting with the
proposition that there is_no difficulty in
ascertaining the proportion of the ante
bellum debt that the State - , should as
some, he asserts that - the proper dinount
can be mathematically determined by
the following rules:
First. By computing full interest to
'the date of the settlement from the
period when Virginia lost _control of
and, ceased fa draw revenue frOm the
territory embraced in West Virginia.
Second.. - By crediting against the
sum total of principle arid; interest so
obtained the acknowledged payments
on both accounts made by Virginia
since the partition';of her territory.
He opposes any increase in the rate
of taxation, and regards 3 per cent.
per -annum as the
.maximum interest
that should be allowed upon , the debt
under the proposed settlement. He
thinks considerable imprciiethent may
be made in the public schools; insists
that the portion of the revenues dedi
cated by they constitution to the public
schools shall be so applie , i,. and - that
the school 'fund shall be preserved
from future invasion. :With-the proper
application of the school moneys he
believes that not only 'tan the number
of schools be increased . and the terms
lengthened, but that provision may be'
made for the: higher education of all
classes. He favors liberal education
of the colored people, but opposes
mixed s-hools, sayinp "No class of
citizens desire them." He recommends
the establishment of a State institution
for the :"broader training" of such
colored pipils as acquire nrofieieney in
the common schools, and expiis6es the
hope 'that at no distant day the national
government will extend a helping hand
to the public schools. On the question
of sufferage, the governor recotnends
first, the repeal 'of the capitation tax
law. He also recommends a . careful
revision of the registrStion and elec
tion laws, in the interest of a free vote
and fair count, and' advises' that the
Judges of election be choien from op
posing- political parties.
He recommends the passage of laws
to regulate railway administration and
prevent unjust discrimination, and
thinks those that have been in force in
California and Georgia' haye stood the
test of experiment ; and the examination
of the courts. In conclusion, he con
gratulates the State upon! its peacefnli
and happy relations with ; the federal
government.—Washington Star.
