BUTLER CITIZEN , J OHM M. 4 W. C. NE6LEY, PROP'RS. I Entered at the Pottoflice at Butler as tecondrclasss matter. Wolf*, for State Treasurer, received new 50,000 rotes, the official count making it 49,984. Coubt special term—commences on Monday, November 28, and regular, December term, on Monday following, December 5. Govzbnok Long, of Massachusetts, strikes out in a new way in making his Thanksgiving proclamation. After quoting Holy Writ, etc., he dashes off four stanzas of poetry on the subject. It gives us gratification to state that the litigation that was pending in this and Mercer county, between the edi tors of the papers here, was satisfacto rily adjusted on the 16th inst., all suits having been discontinued by the par ties interested. In some respects the trial of Gui teau, so far, is the most remarkable on record. His audacity to Court and counsel, and constant impertinence to and interruption of both, with his astoanding self-conceit, surpasses any thing, we think, ever heard of before. And much of it looks like an assumed and overdone business on his part. He will hang himself if they only give him time. Skvxbal leading Republicans, from different parts of the State, had a meet ing in Philadelphia last week, to con sult on the danger threatening the par ty through the cdiO-is boss rule goiDg on, Committees were appointed with the r'ew of b inging the matter to the notice of the people. The chairman of the Wolfe State committee has also is sued an address to the Republicans of the State on the subject. These, and many other men and elements in the party, will doubtless soon co-operate to accomplish the one great object aimed at by all who are sick and tired of boss dictation in the party. MB. SCOVILLE, one of the counsel, and a brother-in-law of assassin Gui teau, is making every effort possible to sare the neck of hiß relative through the defence of insanity. But he made one application to the Court last week that would have quite reversed the rules of evidence had it been granted. He asked that the Court require the prosecution to produce evidence show ing the tanily of the prisoner, forget ting that he was presumed sane until proven the contrary by the defence This singular position taken by Scoville would rather confirm the remark made bj Guiteau of him, that "he was not much of a criminal lawyer."

The following is the official vote in in the State on State Trearurer : Baily, Rep., ... 265,295 Noble, Dem., - * 258,471 Wolfe, Ind., - - - 49,984 Jackson, Gr., - 14,976 Wilson, Pro., - - - 4,507 The whole vote is about 250,000 less than last year.

The large vote Mr. Wolfe received tor State Treasurer at the late election is only an indication of what is coming, unless the Republican masses are allowed a voice in making nominations. For years past a ticket has been fixed up by a few men. Candidates, from Gover nor down, have been slated, for State offices, and brought out, not by their people at home, but by a little ring at Harrisburg. The Republicans at their homes may have known nothing about it until they heard it from abroad, that such and such men were on the slate, as they term it, for such and such nom inations. Had the matter been left to their constituents probably they would never have thought of them, or perhaps not endorsed them as fit for the places the machine had selected them for. To end this matter was the meaning of the vote for Wolfe. Thou sands of Republicans did not vote for him who really sympathized with him. Had be been nominated by any re spectable body of Republicans his vote would probably have been five times larger than it is. But it is a protest against boss rule that it will be strange if not heeded. His friends, since the •lection, have advised a new and sepa rate organization of the party. Other influential Republicans in the State ad vise that another effort be made with the people to oust the bosses. This can be done if the Bepublican people, the masses, take hold of the matter. All that is necessary is for the Repub licans generally to understand the issue and we have faith they will give the remedy. "MY God! What is This?" Such was the exclamation of President Gar field when the assassin's bullet struck him. The words are brought out for the first time by Secretary Blaine in bis evidence on the Guiteau trial last week. _ _ QUITE AU SHOT AT AGAIN. On Saturday afternoon last, after ad journment of the Court trying the case, and a3 Guiteau was being conveyed back to jail, a man on horseback fol lowed the conveyance, and riding up close, fired two pistol shots into it and at Guiteau. One of them only struck him, and that but slightly, on his left arm, near the elbow, making a small abrasion. An exciting chase followed for the capture of the person shooting, and a man named William Jones was finally arrested, out from the city of Washington some miles, but at this writing he has not been identified as the person doing the shooting. We have, iu another place, given our view of this attempt to interfere with the due course of the law. It cannot be justified, no matter how monstrous the act of the prisoner may have been. MAJESTY OF LAW. It is absolutely recessary that the law be upheld at all times. I'or by it only all are protected. If the law is overridden in one case it nmy l>e in another, and then no man would know if he were safe or not. Under strong indignation, such as exists in this Na= tion at present against the slayer of a beloved President, we are apt to for get the importance of holding aloft the law. It is a natural impulse in the human breast to take the law into our own hands on occasions of great out rage and wrong. If this is done on sudden impulse, or at the immediate time a great crime may have been com mitted, it is frequently overlooked, and the ayenger is rather considered a hero than a law breaker. To illustrate ; if Guit< au had been torn to pieces at the time and by the persons who saw him shoot the President, public opinion would not have condemned them. This feeling arises from the fact, opinion is the basis upon which all law rests, and through it all law was originally made, or ought to have been made. That is, the good or welfare of the great public is the foundation o f all law. On great emergencies, there fore, it is frequently taken by the peo ple into their own hands and summary punishment inflicted. But where a person is undergoing a trial in a Court of Justice nothing can justify any pub lic or private interference with the law. We regretted, therefore, to hear of the attempt on Ouiteau's life, last Satur day. The attempt has a bad effect on public morals, and will lessen the re spect of that class for the law that most require its restraining influence The person who sought to kill Ouiteuu 1 doubtless done so under the common impression that he will be declared in sane and thus escape the death penalty. But we do not think so. No jury on earth should so find. But should the jury trying bim sofind t it will be through the law made for every man and for all. And in that case he will be confined for life. We say] for lite. For who does suppose that he ever dare walk out or among the people of these Unit ed States. Every man's baud would be upon him as upon that of a wild beast. It is, therefore, the true inter est of all to stand by the law and up hold it on ali occasions. Only by so doing is there safety to all, and only by so doing are the public morals and the good name and fame of our people and government preserved. THE LATE DAVID DOUOAL Mr. Ziegler, of the llernld of this place, furnishes the following recol lections of the life and character of the late Mr. Dougal. We take them from the Herald of last week, and as Mr. Ziegler was kind enough to publish the article in the CITIZEN of the week before, on the death of Mr. Dougal, we would liked to have given the whole of his article. But want of space pre vents. We omit some parts relative to to the parentage, Indian life and re ligious views of Mr. Dougal. The balance, as follows, will l>o found very interesting. [From the Herald of Nov. lf>, 1881.J We agree with Mr. Negley that Mr Dougal was 108 years old, but we do not agree as to the day of his birth. More than twenty years ago when lie was in the fullest exercise of his facul ties, he told us that he was born on the 21st day of September, 1778, and this would make him 103 years old on the 21st day af September last. Our recollect'on is correct in this matter from a remark he made at the time. We were born on the 19th day of September and so told Mr. Dougal. He then said, "I was born on the 21st of September, and as you, Mr. Ziegler, was born on one side of the equinoctial line and I on the other, we ought both to be philosophers." This remark im pressed on our memory the day and year of his birth.—He was born near the "Burnt Cabins" or near to where the town of Fannetsburg now is in the county of Franklin. We believe the place is kuown as "Path Valley." His father was a Presbyterian preacher and assisted in establishing that Church in that section. Some years ago we read an article giving the history of the Presbyterian Church in Perry county, and in that article we saw th<; name of Kev. Dougal as one of the pioneers who had crossed the mountain to make a foothold for Presbvteriuoism in that county. He was accompanied by another pastor of the church in this work, and their efforts in the direction of their mission was at the small cabin of ( a settler who had penetrated that then wilderness to hew out for himself a home. As Mr. Dougal h.id frequent ly told us his father was a Presbyterian preacher, and that he lived in "Path Valley," we concluded it was the same person who bad crossed the mountain Citiauen: 23» 1881. into what is now Perry county on the ! Church's mission. To make sure of this we mentioned the fact to him and he said at once, "that was my father. We have had many conversations i with him in regard to his early life, and these were bad at a time when he was in full vigor and when his recol lection was as bright as it ever was. In one of these conversations he told us that wten he left home, then quite a vouug man. he was engaged for some time as clerk in the Prothonotary s of fice of Huntingdon county, and that he then acquired a knowledge of survey ing. After he left Huntingdon, he j came to Pittsburgh and went into the 1 '-dark and bloody ground"' of Ken j tuckv. In this wilderness he acquired a taste for border lite and in some re spects for the customs and habits of the Indian. He was a splendidly formed man, and had dark penetrating eyes, which, when excited, flashed from an inward tire that, had he con tinued in border life, would have made him a dangerous man to encounter in the wilderness, or in any hand to hand ; contest for supremacy. Cf Scotch de-' scent he had that capacity for endur ance as well as determination of pur pose fo? which his race is so justly celebrated, and hence we often thought that a wild life was really his natural inclination, for these characteristics pertain alone to such men to whatever race they belong. In our conversations with him about the' Red man," he would expatiate largely upon their wrongs, and as he said, their just jLrrievances. As to their massacres of the whites, he said, they were the re sult of gross injuries inflicted upon them by unprincipled whites, aud act ing upon the natural law of retaliation their n;assacres were necessarily indis criminate. He always belipyctj that by the exercise of a proper policy the Indian could have been brought within the pale of civilization and made an intregal part of the government, but owing to the lawless disposition of borf}erpr s incited to acts of cruelty to ward them bjr $ frlaes of pjen whose sole object was to prey upou the gov : eminent, the ludian was driven to a state of desperation which defied the laws of both God and man. W bile dilating upon this subject his whole ap pearance would undergo a charge. His eyes would (lash with lire, hij Jips quiver, his face Hush with anger aud his frame shake so that au ordioary listener would suppose something more than the mere advocacy of the rights of the ludian was then actuating him. When the WftS changed i he would at once relapse back iuto nis usual quiet aud talk in an exceeding interesting and rational manner, for, ' be it paid, he was unquestionably a r well informed f)iq.n, whose memory was never at fault, ai.d exten sive reading gave him a thorough knowledge of almost every subject. While on this part of the deceased's Jife, we adduce in justification of what ; we ha»e said, his mode of li(e ever since he came to Butiei. JJe ly took delight in living in a small room surrounded by rubbish of all kinds, with a few broken chairs and a ' bod that defied all civilization ; aud in i the mitUt of au odor that bad »ot its . like outside of the rude tent of the untutored savage. In other words, he despircd all modern fashion whether it it pertained to eating, sleeping, cloth ing or comfort This was not the re i suit of acquired habit. We always be . lieved aud believe yet, it wu* the re.- sult of au inward delight for the free and unrestrained life of the ludian. Another proof of what we have said being true, are the old bouses erected on liis property in this place. He con sidered them amply hufiicicnt far any one to live in who was not, as he used to say, "beset with sin and stinking wi'h pride.'' However, these houses are really characterise of his inborn nature. Horn and reared himself in a log cabin he disdained to train in the march of advancing civilization >«o far as the comforts of a homo were con cerned, and we know from his own mouth, that he preferred, when going to the country surveying or on other business, to be the guest of those who lived in log cabins and fed on IhHUt-. milk, potatoes and mush. Jlence, he never engaged in improvement of any kind, excepting to purchase fruit trees and put them on his farm, for ho was a great lover of fruit. From 3*ear to 3'car he would patch and patch his old houses, but never tore any of them down to erect a better iu their stead ; and to his credit be it said, he uever distressed any one for rent. If renters had the means to pay well and good ; if they had not he always permitted them either to remain or move away as they considered it best. lie fre quently told us, that he never jssued a landlord's warrant in his life, nor turned a tenant out on the street.— When we were firtt married and about to start in life, he told usto take posses sion of that little hou.se iu which Esquire \Valk> r now dispenses justice as a Justice of the Peace We accept ed the offer, for we were too poor to pay rei.t for a larger and more com modious dwelling; and just where 'Squire Walker's table now stands, was where our first child, a beloved daugh ter, now dead for a number of years, was boru. In this bouse wc lived for a number of years and then be gave us possession of the house across the street where C. ilarlej has now hie shoe shop. lie never asked us tor one cent of reut, except on one occasion when he came to us and said, "Jacob, give me $5.00, for I want to prevent the constable from reappearing at my door I bailed a man and he can't pay." Of course in time we paid liiifl all, liut we mention these circumstan ces to show that in his nature was em bedded a feeling of charity for others. By a treaty with the Indians the State acquired all the land lying north and west" of the Allegheny river and Conewango creek. This wu* a pur chase from the 'Six Nations,' a© the tribes which roamed over this section were knowu. Ilutier county is a part of this territory, and by an act of As sembly passed iu 1800 it was for.ucd. About this time, as Mr. Negley, in the article which we have copied from his paper, has stated, .Mr. I»ougal came to this place. I! 1' purchased at the sale of lots the two lots »»iiicji extend on both sides of Main street from the dia mond to n baj are now known as the Etzel and Vogcley alleys. This prop erly he held to the day of his death. In the store room now occupied by Mr. Pringle, he engaged in nuTchand sing, but as this was a business for which le was not particulaily adapted, he lid not long continue the business, lie took delight in surveying, for 11;i --gave him the opportunity of roaming through the woods and associating with the settlers whose rough ways of j living suited him better. He, in this wav. became the agent of the Stephen Lowrv lauds, which afterwards de scended to Mrs. Collins the daughter and only child of Mr. Lowrv. He con tinued as agent for Mrs. Collins during her life time, and for her children after her, among whom we respectfully men tion Mrs. MeClure, the widow of Judge MeClure, of Pittsburgh, now de ceased, and Mrs. McCandless, wife of Hon. Wilson McCandless, formerly Judge of the United States Court for the Western District of the State, two most estimable ladies. After the chil dren of Mrs. Collins came into the possession of the property, he continu ed their agent, advisor and counsellor, np until his feeble condition compelled him to seek a home with the Protzman family on hlg farm some three miles east of Butler. and where he died as has been stated. Tbe deceased, as we said, was fond of reading and acquiring knowledge on all subjects, but especially was fond of astronomy. Ho read all vvorfcs he could get treating of that science, ile was familiar with all the planets and could tell their locati >n at any season of the year. Hut the North Star seem ed to puzzle him, because in whatever l.osition the earth was the star seemed to be in the same place. Years ago he used to worry over it a great deal, and even went so far as to construct a rude piece of machinery to show why it was the appearance ot the star was always the same viewed from the earth. A large comet in the W'ost, we cannot now recollect how long ago it was, but it was a beatiful one, large and well defined Sitting at his office door one evening smoking his pipe slightly intoxicated, we came along aud he insisted that we should take a cuau and ponvers? v/itfi hju) about as tronomy. We confess to a eompartive ignorance of that science not only at that day but even now. We took a seat and he commenced to explaiu the planets, their size, motions, «fcc. lie said that Saturn must be a splendid pjape to lifp if} oq Recount of the num ber of moons which atteuded and tuo rings which encircled that planet, and that if the people on this earth, when they died, were transferred to other planets be hoped that his place of resi dence mifht be in Saturn. While we were talking a man n*»med Caifipbel!, from near WhiUrstown, came along unci said to him iu a rather abrupt manner, 'Dougal what do the people mean by a comet? I hear them all talking about it.' Mr. Dougal rose slowly from his vbair Campbell by the coat sieve, led him to the corner of the house aud pointed out the comet to him. 'There,' said he 'is the comet.' 'What,' saif' Campbell, 'that thing with a long tail to it V Yes,' said Mr I)ou gai, 'and Row,' hp continued, 'will you please to tell me where such a d d fool as you were born V A few miu utes afterwards another person came along somewhat under the iulluence of liquor, and said, 'what great nonsense ii is for i>o;»}e people to talk about the sun not moving ; don't we see it mov ing everv day and don't the earth standstill?' Mr. Dougal knocked the ashes from his pipe and looked up in ytter s:;tqnisbmeut for a minute or so, and then witb tue utmost Goiiponipp for the person, pointed his longer finger to tbe star, .Jupiter, which wassnining most brilliantly, and is about four hun dred millions of miles away in space, and said, 'friend, I shouldn't wander if it waa tweulu-Jii'p mile* up to that star!' After those persons had goue away, he turned to us and said, 'Jacob, the ignorance of the common j>eople is lamentable, but I guess it is better for them to be so, for if they were wiser voql4 tfyeir wisdom into worse folly.' We mention these cir cumstances to show that he was a man of more than ordinary intelligence and was quick wit ted. For many years Mr. Dougal endeav ored tQ solye the problem of 'perpetu al motion.' In his levari; ipoffleqts fee would whittle sticks and fashion them according to his liking and then with pieces of tin put them together He never explained what he was djing other than to express his belief that sotjitf day or other the world would be astonished by machinery operated hy 'perpetual motion.' However, be at last gave it up and said, that 'God alono in His operation* of the uni verse was perpetual motion, and until man became equal to God, which he uever could do, it was folly for him to do what God alone could do.' This he said to lis, and it led the conversation gradually into the question of a futqre state.—He believed man would live forever, either in the state of bliss or a i-tate of misery. In a subsequent con versation we had with him, he aked us jf we belipved it was possible for the •.pirit of a docoased person to visit this earth and appear to the sight of any ! one living. We told him that was a 1 hard question to answer and we were ' unable for its solution. lie then said, I 'well,' I believe it is possible, for twice I in my life the spirit of my father ap i peared to me, and once, just there | where that bed stands, I saw him as plain a* 1 ever saw !)iifl in luy life, j He bent over m«, looked down in my ! face for a minute or mere, and then j disappeared through that back door.' j We said to him, 'probably it was only ; a dream which had left au impression 'on bis mind akin to reality.' lie said firmly, 'no &ir, 1 was wide awake and ! when he disappeared I put my lu-'ud I under the cover.' We could only re -1 ply that it was very singular. After a long pause he said, 'what do we know of the power of God? 'Daddy' was a good man and served His Mas ter faitbfullv, and why might not God permit him to visit an erring child herp on earth ? Are not the good the miq istering spirits of God He said this with great feeling and immediately turned the conversation to some other subject. We agree with what Mr. Negley hiu stated in bjs article in relation to Mr. Pougal's intelligence, his (jue con versational powers, hi* faithfulness in the transaction of nil business entrust' ed to his care, conversation whatever on the subject. Mr. Sco > ville remarked this man was about the kind of " a juror the law contemplated, but the defense ; did not waut him. He therefore challenged ! him peremptorily. A colored barDer named r Williams was called, and having formed no ' opinion was examined by Scoville. He read 1 the papers every morning before seven o'clock, - and being a barber, of course hqd oonytrsgi} j\ j groat dbul ou the tuhjnoi. In response iu the t inquiry whether he had ever been a juror in a murlei-case, he said he had, but the jury had 1 disagreed. This remark caused considerable 3 amusement throughout the room. After fur» ther questioning Mr. Williams was excused. " Win. H. Browner, commission merchant, being I closely questioned by Scoville and no objection . being advanced by the Government, was *c oepted ami duly swuru, iMiikiuj fhe tenth JU' ■j ror. Geo. T. Koene, in response to mterroga- I tion, said there was nothing under the sun 1 which could change the opinion he had formed and several other gentlemen were as decided in their answers as was Keene. ORITEAL" APPEALS TO THE LEGAL PROFESSION Daring the examination of the talesmen the following statement was |>n,|uueuii(etween the tenth and eleventh jurors. There had been tar, PEREMPTORY OP, tlje j;qrt of the defense. The next talesman examined was C. A. Puvne, a bout and shoe manufacturer, who proved acceptable to the defense, but was per emptorily challenged by the Government. Jo seph Prather, a commission merchant was ac cepted and sworn as the twelfth juror. One of the talesman, on examination, said his opinion of the case had been materially chang ed by bulletins of intending surgeons which had appeared daily in windows of hqsinesg houses throughout the city. The District At torney questioned the talesman on this point and after reiterating the cause of his changed opinion, he was peremptorily challenged by the Govern merit. After the talesman explained the cause of his changed opinion, Guiteau whis pered to a newspaper correspondent, '"Put that in." The prisouer seemed much gratified with the statement, as it tended to establish the idea of malpractice. The court took a recess for half an hour, and upon reawnbling District Attorney f'orkhill asked the Court that the oath be administered to the jury as a w hole. This being done, the District Attorney moved the court adjourn, in order to give the jurors oyportunity to attend to their respective business matters. At this point Mr. Scoville rose to make a per sonal explanation regarding the paper which WAS obtained from the prisoner this inoj-niug. lie said he did not approve the document and wished this distinctly understood. At the con. elusion of his remarks the prisoner arose, and in an excited manner insisted lie hail not yet accepted the services of counsel, and declared that until h<» did so he would defend himself. The court then adjourned. FOURTH DAY BLAINE ON THE STAND. WASHINGTON, NOV. 17. —The court room was tilled by 8:30, there being a noticable in prease in the number of ladies present. Imme diately lifter the court opened M r - Spoyille made a personal explanation. 110 said theru was no disagreement between himself and Mr. Robinson, and that the latter was rendering all the assistance possible. At this point Guiteau arose and objected to Kobinson's taking part in his defense. He would manage his own case, and wouldent trust Robinson, as the latter had no brains. He wished the court to understand thjs, and if counsel were forced upon him he would make a noise about it to the country. He represents the Deity in this case, and want ed the court to understand it. He said two or three blundering lawyers would lose the case for him, and lie would not submit to it. The court informed him that if he did not remain quiet he would be removed from the room. After a few minutes the prisoner burst out afresh, and then conversed in a very excited manner vvjtji his counsel, striking the (Jesk with his (lUiuched f}st. .\t Sectary Blaine entered the room, aud took a seat be hind the Government counsel. A few minutes later District Attorney Corkhill began his opening address. Duing the first part of Mr. Corkhill's argu ment the prisoner wore an air of indifereuce, ' and looked over the morning papers. The | speech was delivered in an impressive manner, I and when, towards its close, tears were falling j from tlje pyes pf many, Uijiteau laid his paper j aside, loaned back in (lis pbgir and uoyeretj his ! eyes with hi* hands, evidently trying to con | eeal his emotion. He then oorniuenoed writ' I ing hurriedly. He constantly shook his head I in approval or disapproval of Mr. Corkhill's I argument. Onetime he interrupted the speech, ; but Judge Cox promptly announced that it was within the power of the court to try the ! case in the absence of the prisoner, and if he i persisted in his turbulent remarks he would be | removed. Guiteau said in reply, 'I will not do j it again, your honor, hut I have very deep feelings in this ease.' [Laughter.} Mrs. Scoville, the prisoner's sister, cried bit | terly during the opening speech, an«| her little ' girl", an interesting child of five years, could be seen appealing to her in 1111 affectionate man ; iier, and inquiring, 'Maini, ipama. what is the matter?' Long applause greeted the terirjini tion of the speeefc. Secretary Maine was then oalled to the wit ness stand. He testified that ou he morning 1 of the shooting he accompanied the late Presi | dent to the depot. He heard a pistol shot, followed almost immediately bv another. Thinking there was some trouble, ne touched the President to urge him to go faster, but at that moment the latter threw up his amis, ex claiming. "My God. what is this?" The Sec retary further testified to subsequent events. Mr. Blaine, in cross-eiamination, detailed the shooting and pointed out the location on the diagram, and when he left the stand the court took half an hour's recess. At this point Guiteau remonstrated with Mr. Seoville, saying the latter must comply with his wishes; if not, there would lie a big row. Mr. Scoville paid no attention to his client, and the latter was with much difficulty removed by the bailiff. OLDEST AND BEST FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
