THE SUN FOR 1882.
Next year THE SUN will make its fifteenth
annual rcvoluliou under the pruscut manage
ment, jhjn'iifj, as always, for all, big and little,
uieau aud grucious, contented and unhappy.
Republican and Democratic, depraved and vir
tuous, Intelligent and obtuse. THE SUN'S light
is of maukiud and wouicnkind of every sort;
but its general warmth is lor the good, while
It poms hot discomfort 011 the blistering ba;-k
of the presistintly wicked.
THE SUN of lHfiS was a newspaper of a new
kind It discarded many ot the forms and a
multitude ul the si;per'|i|ous words and phrases
ol ancient journalism. It undertook in report
iu n fresh, succinct, unconventional way all the
hews of the world, omitting no event 01 human
interest, aud commenting upon affairs with
the feurlessncM of absolute Independence. The
sucess ol this experiment was the siicess of
TUN SUN. It effected a permanent change in the
style of American newspapers. Every Impor
tant jurnal established in this country in the
dozen years past has l>een modelled alter TIIE
SUN- Every important journal already existing
has been modified nud bettered by the force of
THE SUN'S example.
T';H SUN of lHtfcj will be the same outspoken, |
trutVi-ieiling, aud interesting newspaper.
By a liberal use ol the means which an abun
dant prosperity afford?, we slnll make it belter
than ever before. We shall piint all ilie news,
puttinz it into rcaiable shape, and inc.curing
its importance, not by the traditional yar slick,
but by its real interest to tlie people. Di-tance
from Piintjng House-square is not the lirst con
sideration with T|JN SJN Wheuever anything
happens worth icportjng get tlie partita:
lais, w let her it happens in Brooklyn or iu
Bokara.
Iu politics we have decided opinions; and we
arc accustomed to express them In language
that can be understood. We say when we
think about men and events. Thai ha> it is the
only secret ot THE SUN'S political course.
The weekly edition ol THE SUN gathers into
eight pages the best matter ol the seven daily
issues. A*; Agricultural Department ol une
3ua|ed merit, lull luarkent reports, and a liber-
I pi'oportiop of Ijterary, scientific, nnd domes
lie intelligence complete T;»E WEEULY Spy,
and make it the best news; aper lor the farmer's
hous hold that was ever printed.
Who does not know and read and like THE
SATURDAY SUN, each number of which is a
Uoicotda ol iuterestiug literature, »ith the
best poetry ol the day, pro.se every line worth
reading, news, humor—matter enough to fill a
good-sized book, and infinitely more varied
and entertaining th-Mi any book, big ordittle?
It out" idea ot what a newspaper should bt
pleases you' end lor TUE SUN.

TRYING THE ASSASSIN.
j Getting a Jury in the Case of Guiteau.
(iETTINti THE JURY.
WASHINGTON, NOV. 14, 1881.
About eleven o'clock the work of
obtaining a jury was begun. The first
four of the panel stated distinctly and
finally that they had opinions which
no evidence could change, and they
were speedily excused, The fifth
seemed all right until if he had
any scruples as to capital punishment.
He smiled as he answered in the affirm
ative, and seemed glad to get out of it.
i The sixth thought he could give a
verdict in accordance with evidence,
I though he had repeatedly said he
I should bang the prisoner. This man
\vao in ibe hardware business. Mr.
Scoville said the juror was not want
ed. The next mau was a mechanic.
He had an opinion not very decided,
but thought he could give a fiur ver
dict. Mr. Scoville as.ked to hie politics
•Hid religion. Judge Porter, of the
prosecution, objected. Mr. Scoville
said he desired to know something of
the juror's conscience before knowing
whether he might exercise the right to
a peremptory challenge That was all
he was driving W e was willing to
let that question rest until he could
present authorities. This man was
Win. P. O'Donnell, and in his case the
defense made their first peremptory
challenge. The eighth was excused
because he had held firmly to the
opinion formed immediately after the
shooting, and the ninth man was John
J'. llailin, a well known restaurateur
of Washington He answered all
questions satisfactorily; some as to
whether he held to any infidel belief
He was accepted by the defense and
was duly sworn as the first juror. John
A. Van Duron seemed qualified unless
in that he had a sort of prejudice
against insanity defenses. On this
ground the defense ordered their third
peremptory challenge. Iliram Trimble,
the next man on the panel, said he
never allowed himself to be influenced
by newspapers. lie investigated things
for himself and was satisfied that Gui
teau did the shooting, but not as to
whether he was guilty of murder. Col.
Corkhill said he was too much of an
investigator for this jury and he- was
excused- This e*hausled the panel.
An order was Issued for a new panel
of seventy-five citizens.
Five jurors were obtaiued, viz :
J. I'. llnrlin, restaurent keeper; Fred
W. Brandenberg, cigar maker ; Chas.
G. Stewart, flour and feed dealer. Hen
ry J. Hright, retired from business;
Thomas H. Langley, grocer.
QUITEAU CUTS ANOTHER CAPER. •
At this point Guiteau arose and
stated that be should like to make a
speech to-morrow evening. Th«-' court
told him bu would be given a chance
to be heard in his own defense.
Guiteau—But this must go in now,
Your Honor, as it must influence pub
lic opinion.
The Court—That's not what we are
here for.
Colonel Corkhill said ho hoped the
Court would insist ou the prisoner
keeping still.
Guiteau—Never, Colonel ; 1 know
my business, and I hope you do yours.
He was finally quieted by the officers,
but he managed to get his written
.speech into the hands of a reporter,
who started for the door. Mr. Scoville
had the reporter stopped, and the pa
per was returned. Mr. Scoville said
the paper was not given out with the
consent of counsel.
It having been agreed that the sit
tings of the Court should be from 10
A. M. to 3 P. M. daily, allowing half an
hour for recess, the Court adjourned.
IMPRESSION OF QUITEAU'S CONDUCT.
Guiteau's performances in court to
day seemed to have convinced a few
persons that he is really crazy, but the
general impression is that he overdid
his part; that the same shrewdness
with which he planned the assassina
tioh and his escape from the mob
prompted him to his line of conduct
this morning, with a view of backing
up his plea of insanity by bis actions.
Jle was undoubtedly much excited,
especially when two policemen seized
him He threw them ofl'violcntly, and
told them to mind their own business,
that he proposed to conduct his own
case. The course of Mr. ltohinson, the
associate counsel, in asking for a post
ponement and for additional counsel,
without consulting Mr, Scoville, his
chief, is commented upon as unusual
in practice. Mr. Scoville says such a
proceeding is unheard of, and that be
will retire from tbe case if Mr. Kobin
fcou is permitted such a high handed
course. Mr. Scoville was very iudig
nent in court, and was only pacified
by tbe assurance of the judge that
nothing should be done without con
sulting biiu. Tbe beginning of the
trial \vau full of incident and excite
ment.
SECOND DAY.
WASHINGTON, November 15. —The
pressure to obtain admission to the
court room this morning was notably
greater than yesterday. After the
ushers had exercised the right of selec
tion, and admitted two or three score
jof well dressed, respectable looking
I people, (including a Pennsylvania
member of Congress accompanied by
i ladies,) the* doors were thrown open
| and there was a sudden and impetuous
i influx of representatives of the rougher
1 element of society. The five jurors
iworn yesterday were early in attend
i ance. The Court was formally opened
a few minutes past ten o'clock, and im
mediately afterwards the counsel in
the ease and the brother and sister of
the prisoner entered. After the lapse
of a few minutes Guiteau was hurried
into the court room in the custody of
half a dozen policemen and deputy
marshals. The handcuffs were remov
ed, and he shook hands with his sister
and brother, and took a seat reserved
for him betwi en his counsel. Mr.
Scoville then submitted an affidavit
and made application for an order for
au additional number of witnesses,
which order was made by the Court.
Then the additional panel of seventy
five, summoned last evening, was
, calltd, moat of tbe persons responding
when called. Guiteau manifested less
nervousness and excitability than yes
terday, although in his whispered con
versations with his brother he was
quite demonstrative and earnest in his
manner.
EMPANNEI.INO THE JT RV.
A colored barber named Howard
was the first juror to be called and ex
amined as to his fitness to serve. His
answers showed hini to l>e not disqual
ified from service; but the defense
challenged him peremptorily (being
the fourth peremptory challenge). The
next was a man named Lvnch,
who had a decided opinion that Gui
r teau ought to be banged or burned.
lie was, of course, ex-used : as was al
;so the next (named Bailey) who de
clared his belief that Guiteau was
j crazy. The next was a colored man,
remarkable for his frilled shirt frout
and dramatic posture and manner, who
related the history of his past life and
then he was peremptorily challenged
by the defense. In fact it is under
-1 stood that Guiteau is resolved not to
' have a colored man ou the jury. The
next was an Irishman named Michael
! Sheehan, with a very pronounced
j brogue, who bad no opinion on the
1 subject of Guiteau's crime, except that
'the mau was out of his head.' He
was sworn as the sixth juror. Wm.
Talbott, and iron worker, having ans
wered all the questions to the satis
faction of the defense, saying 'he had
never bothered his head' ou the ques
tion of Guiteau's guilt, was challenged
peremptorily by the prosecution.
Several others in succession were ex
cused on their statements that they
had firm and decided opinions. One
of them believed Gwiteau ought to be
hanged, and another would require
convincing medical testimony to change
his opinion. A long-faced colored man
named Foster declared that he was
perfectly free from any prejudice in the
matter, but admitted he had mention
ed it (the murder of Garfield) to sever
al parties as 'quite a serious accident.'
He was challenged peremptorily bv
the defense. Samuel F. Ilobbs, a na
tive • f Maryland, a plasterer by occu
pation, answered all questions satis
factorily, and was sworn as the seventh
juror. W. Gates, a young man, a na
tive of Washington, aud a machiuist,
was sworn as the eighth juror. After
that for about an hour every man call
ed confessed he had formed a 'firm,' or
'decided,' or 'unalterable' opinion on
the question of the prisoner's guilt,
and were excused. There was one
exception in the person of a colored
man named Ralph Wormley.a plaster
er by occupation, who thought he
could render a fair verdict, and said he
had not read any more about the case
than be did in 'ordinary cases of that
kind.' He did not believe everything
that he read in lbi> newspapers, be
cause they had published things about
himself that were not true. He could
not say whether the President was
suot by the prisoner until be would
hear the testimony. Of course, if an
insane man did the shootiug he would
be as much guilty as anybody else.
The 'crazy part' of the business was
'something else.' No sensible man
could have dune suoh a thing. After
consultation between the counsel and
prisoner and his brother, Scoville said
the defense would accept the juror, and
so Wormley was sworn in as the ninth
juror. The list of seventy five tales
men having been exhausted; the
Marshal was ordered to summon
another list of seventy-five for to-mor
row' and court adjourned,
PISOTYUEA IN COURT.
There was some difficulty found in
maintaining order among the crowd of
spectators present to listen to the pro
ceedings of the second day of the trial
of Guiteau. There were no tyanifesta
tions of ill will agaiust the prisoner,
except now aud then a slight disposi
tion to applaud the expressions occa
sionally made by those being examined
for the jury duty that they were of a
decided opinion that the assassin
ought to be hanged, but applause was
in every instance promptly checked by
the Deputy Marshals. The cause of
the disorder was the overcrowding of
the platform assigned for the general
public, and the efforts of a number of'
young men, of whom the audience was
chiefly composed, to secure more avail
able places.
UIXITEAU'S STATEMENT.
WASHINGTON, November 15. —The
speech which Guiteau wrote out and
wanted to deliver is in some respects a
remarkable document. '1 am,' he lo
gins, 'in the presence of this honorable
court, charged with maliciously aud
wickedly murdering one James A.
Garfield. Nothing can be more absurd,
because General Garfield died from
malpractice. The syllogism to prove
it is this : Three weeks after he was
shot his physicians held a careful ex
amination and officially decided he
would recover. Two months after
this official announcement he died.
Therefore, according to his own phy
sicians, he was not fatally shot. The
doctors, who mistreated him, ought to
bear the odium of his death, and not
his assailant- They ought to be in
dicted for murdering James A. Gar
field, aud not me. Hut I have been
indicted and must stand my trial for
the alleged homicide. General Gar
field was President of the United States
and I am one of the men who made
him President. His iiominatian was
an accident, hit election the rcst'lt ot
the greatest activity on the part ot the
Stalwarts, and his removal a special
providence. General Garfield was a
good man, but a weak politician Be
ing President, he was in n position to
do vast harm to the Republic, and he
was doing it l>y the unwise use of
patronage, and the Lord and I took
the responsibility of removing him. I
certainly never should have sought to
remove him on my own account Why
should I ? lie never harmed me. From
him 1 expected an important office. I
considered him my political and per
sonal friend. But my duty to the
Lord and to the American people
overcame my personal feeling and I
sought to remove him. Not beinjf a
marksman, he was not fatally shot, but
incompetent physicians tiuisbed the
work, and they and n.)t me are re
sponsible for his death.
PREVENTING A CIV'L WAR.
"Nothing but the political situation
last spring justified General Garfield's
removal. The break in the Republican
party last spring was widening week
by week and I foresaw a civil war.
My inspiration was to remove the late
President at once and thereby close the
breach before it got so wide that noth
ing but another heartrending and deso
latiuij war could close it. The last
w.*r cost the nation a million of men
and a billion of money. The Lord
wanted to prevent a repetition of this
desolation and inspired me to execute
His will. Why did He inspire ir.e in
preference to some one else ? Because
1 had the brains and nerve probably to
do the work. The Lord does not em
ploy incompetent j)ersons to serve Him.
He uses the best material He can find.
No doubt there were thousands of Re
publicans that felt as I did about Gen
eral Garfield's wrecking the Republican
party last spring, and had they the
conception, the nerve, the brains and
the opportunity they would have re
moved him. I of all the world was the
only man who had the conception. On
the trial of my case I propose to sum
mon some of the leading politicians of
the Republican and Democratic parties;
also the leading New York and Wash
ington editors, to show the political
situation and the perils which surround
ed the public last spring. I propose
to go into this branch of my defense
exhaustively. Another reason the
Lord inspired me to remove the Presi
dent in preference to some one else is
because He wished to circulate my
theological work 'The Truth.' This
book was written to save souls and not
tor money, ami the Lord in circulating
the book is after souls."
GUITEAU ON INSANITY.
Guiteau next speaks of the witnesses
summoned for his defense and says:
Mr. Scoville is developing a theory of
insanity. This, be says, may have an
important bearing. "Insanity runs in
my family. My father had two sisters
and a nephew and a niece in an insane
asylum. He himself was a monomani
ac for twenty-five years on the Oneida
Community. He could see uo evil in
that concern and no good out of it. He
thought Xoyes a greater man thau the
Lord Jesus Christ. It was owing to
his fanaticism that I got into the Onei
da Community. Once under Noycs'
influence it was impossible to get
away, and I lingered there in great
distress for six long and weary years.
I was in the Community from ISOO to
IBfif». Since then 1 have known and
eared nothing for them." He goes on
to speak of Xoyes as a fugitive on Bri
tish soil and charges him with crimes
and misdemeanors at Oneida. He says
he has been in j til since Jtiilv 2 and has
twice been shot at, but the Lord kept
him harmless. He says he does not
wish his lawyers to work for nothiug
and appeals to the public pt large to
send money for his defense. He con
tinues : "Certain politicians seem per
fectly willing to fatten at the public
expense on my inspiration, but they
pretend to be horrified oat of their
senses by the late President's removal,
and want nothiug to do with me. They
say lam a 'dastardly assassin.' The
word 'assassin' grates on the mind, and
yet some people delight in using it.
Why am I an assassin any more than
a mail who shot another during :he
war ? Thousands of brave boys on
both sides were shot dead during th j
war, but no one thinks of talking about
an assassination. There was a homi
cide, i. e., a man killed. Rut in my
case the doctors killed the late Presi
dent and not me, so that there is not
even a homicide in my case. The
President was simply shot aud wound
ed by an insane man- The man was
insane in law, because it was God's act
and not his." Guiteau then takes up
his married life and speaks of it
"My ex-wife has been summoned by
the prosecution. Our marriage was
premature. I only knew her ten weeks
and we were married on ten hour»' no
tice. She was a poor girl. She had
been unfortunate, and-1 hud no busi
ness to have married her. We were
married in 18(>0, separated in 1873 aud
divorced in 1874, without issue ; was
practicing law then, and we lived at
hotels and boarding houses. I know
little about her since 157.1. I under
stand that she married well four years
ago and is living in Colorado. 1 have
been strictly .virtuous for six or seven
years. I claim to Im> a gentleman and
a Christian."
GUtTEAI' AS A PATRIOT.
"I am n patriot. To-'lay I suffer in
bonds a.s a patriot. Washington was
a patriot. Grant was a patriot.
Washington led the armies of the Rev
olution through eight years of bloody
war to victory and glory. Grant led
the armies of the Union to victory and
glory, and to-day the nation is happy
and prosperous. They raised the old
war cry, 'Rally round the Hag, rally
round the llag,' and thousands of the
choicest sons of the republic went forth
to battle—to victory or death. Wash
ington and Grant by their valor and
success in war won the admiration of
mankind. To-day I suffer in bonds as
a patriot because I had the inspiration
and nerve to unite a great political par
ty to the end that the nation might be
saved anotberdesolating war. Ido not
pretend war was immediate, but I do
say emphatically that the bitterness in
the Republican party last spring was
deepening and deepening hour by hour
and that within two or three years, or
less, the nation would have been in a
civil war. In the presence of death all
hearts were hushed ; contention ceased,
for weeks and weeks the heart and
lirain of the nation centered on the sick
man at the White House. At last he
went the way of all Itesh. The nation
was a house of mourning. To say I
have been misunderstood and villified
l>y nearly the entire American press,
nay more, nearly the entire .American
peopie, is a true statement."
APPEALING TO TIIK STALWARTS.
"But Providence and time rightcn
all things, and to-day, by the gradual
change of public opinion, I am justified
in passing with laudabie contempt the
continual venom of certain newspapers.
Let the newspapers change from 'Gui-
I teau, the Assttaain,' to 'Guiteau, the

Patriot.' 1 appeal to the stalwart aud
liberal press of the nation for justice. I
apjieal to the Republican partv, especi
ally the Stalwarts, of whom I am proud
to l>e one, for justice. I appeal to the
President of the I nited States for jus
tice. 1 am the man that made him
President. Without my inspiration he
was a political cipher, without power
or importance I was constantly with
liiui in New York last full, during the
cauvass, and he and the rest of our mea
knew that we bad all we could do to
; elect our ticket.. Had General Hancock
kept his mouth closed on the tariff, or
had the Morey letter been delayed a
week, Hancock certainly would have
been elected. Then no man could tell
what might have happened to the Re
public. I am more than glad that Gen
eral Arthur is proving himself a wise
man in his new position, and I expect
will give the nation the finest adminis
tration it has ever bad. I appeal to
the honorable Court for justice. lam
glad your honor is a gentleman of
broad views, Christian sentiment and
clear head. I count myself fortunate
indeed that my case is to be tried be
fore so able and careful a jurist. I ap
peal to the District Attorney his
learned associates for justice. I beg
they go slow in prosecuting this case;
that tnev do no injustice to the Deity,
whose servant I was when I sought
to remove the late President. At the
last great day they afcd all men will
stand in the presence of the Deity, cry
ing for mercy and justice. As they act
here so will be their final abode here
after. Life is an enigma This a strange
world. Often men are governed by
passion and not by leason. Ofteu men
are governed by passion and not by
reason. The mob crucified the Savior
of mankind, and Paul, his great Apos
tle, went to an ignominious death.
This happened many centuries ago.
In eighteen centuries no men have ex
erted such a tremenduous influence on
the civilization as the despised Galile
an and his great Apostle. They did
their work and left the result with the
Almighty Father. This sjicech was
written in a cramped position in my
cell."
Secretary Blaine, the principal wit
ness for the Government to prove the
shooting of President Garfield by Gui
teau, was notified to appear in court to
morrow.

SANDY HILL, Butler Co., Nov. 12.
MKSSRS. EDITORS:—I was thinking
that possibly a few items occasionally
from oar part of the couuty be
of some interest to the many readers of
your valuable paper. It might not be
out of place to tell those of your read
ers that are not acquainted with the
site of Smdy Hill, that it is situated
in Middlesex township, in the southern
part of the county, and on a dividing
ridge, which takes its rise in Richland
township, Allegheuy county, and runs
in a north-eastern direction to Buffalo
township, this county. Saudy Hill
proper is a portion of the ridge about
one mile north-east from the Alleghe
ny county line, on which is erected the
school house of district No. 1, which
has become noted as being the leading
place in the township to assemble an
audience. There have been several very
large conventions held here, among
which was the one last fall of the Gar
field and Arthur campaigu, which was
a grand success. The soil on this hill
is very sandy, from which it derives its
name. It is very productive, and as
for the picturesque, there are but few
places iu the county that can more ful
ly satisfy all lovers of nature. On its
south-eastern side are to be seen a num
ber never-failing springs of ice cool wa
ters, which form the headwaters of
Bull and Deer creeks, which streams
are to fie seen winding through the
valleys among the many hills. On the
