The desire of readers to have the full proceedings in the Guiteau trial, for the murder of the late President Gar field, necessarily excludes other things. •«THI Mercer Republican is the name of a new Republican paper just established in Mercer, Pa. The first number is before us, with a very well written salutatory. While it is to be Republican in principle yet it announ ces that it will "oppose the growing and dangerous system of Boss rule and endeavor to secure for the people their free, untramelled choice" in nom inations for office This is the kind ol papers wanted at present and the more of them the better. We wish our new neighbor all possible success. NO PAPER. As next week will be "Holiday Week," no paper will be issued from this office.

Mr. Marks wai formerly a citizen of this place, anc waa esteemed by all who knew bim ai a man ot integrity and worth. While here be filled the office of clerk to th< eonnty commissioners for some years and was afterwards elected treasure! of the county, in 1857. Since thai time be bas been connected with the internal revenue service in this district and was regarded as a very faithfu and most capable officer. We bav< not learned his exact age, but suppost it to be about sixty years. His remaini were interred at this place on Tuesday AN EXCITING CASE. Last week there was tried in tb< Mercer County Courts a caw knowr as tbe Bilvernail-Westerman case. Tb< parties reside in Sharon, that county and Silvernail, the plaintiff, brougbi suit against Westerman, a wealthy manufacturer and a citizen of much in fluence, for tbe alienation of the af fections of bis wife, etc. After a long trial, and unusal interest in the case, tbe jury rendered a verdict of but ont dollar damages for tbe plaintiff. The leading counsel of Mr. Westerman, tbe defendant, was James G. Elliott, Esq., a Butler countv boy, being a son "mMr. Benjamin P. Elliott, of Worth township, this county. He is one ol 'the ablest lawyers at tbe Mercer Bar, and his success in this case will still further add to hie practice and high standing in bis profession as an at torney. AUDITING POOR ACCOUNTS, Our attention bas been called to an act of tbe last Legislature, approved June Btb, 1881, that is supposed by some to change the time for auditing tbe accounts of Overseers of tbe Poor OB an examination of tbe act we think it does not apply to this county. It reads as follows: "SBCTION 1. That on and after tbe passage of this act, whenever poor di» tricta of this commonwealth-are not co extensive with the county in which tbey are situated, but composed of t part of the cities, boroughs and town ships of a county, tbe accounts of the said poor district shall be audited an nually on tbe second Monday of Janu ary in esch and every year, by a board ot auditors composed of the senior audi tors of each city, borough and town ship of which the district may be com posed." Sec. 2 provides that this act shall not interfere with or repeal any specia laws now in force. As Butler county poor districts are not "composed of s part of cities, boroughs and towußbips,' but are composed of whole township) and boroughs, we cannot see how thin act applies to this county. Neitbei have we any "senior auditors." Wt are Inclined to believe this act was nol intended far counties such as ours. Notice. There are a number of subscribers tc tho CITIZEN who are behind for a number of yearn. To somo of tbes« bills have been sent to which no nt teution has been paid. Others havi failed to comply with their promise- To all these it in now neceKnary for u* t<i say that wo will expect some attention from them in tbe matter before the close of this year, or soon thereafter. II all subscribers would make it a rule not to let a year go by without paying for their paper tbey would not feel the amount so much ns when a number of years are due. As we ueed the money we will be compelled to close up such adftttuta soon. NEW YEAR'S GIFT. In our next issue we will give the subscribers to tbe CITIZBN a neat Cal endar, for the year A. D. 1883. This we conceive to be the most useful gift we can present them. It will be a neat one, with border, and of size con venient for being cut out and pasted or tacked up for reference. NEXT GOVERNOR. The Philadelphia Press hits the nail on tbe head when it says: 'There is no overwhelming necessity for nom inating a Republican candidate for Governor of Pennsylvania in Washing ton. The convention will be held at some place in Pennsylvania hereafter to be named." The above has reference to the re cent reported nomination of Gen. Bea ver by a caucus of a few Stalwart lead ers in tbe city of Washington. If true, it is strange that this action has been taken, as nothing could more ef fectually destroy the chances of Gen. Beaver for the coming nomination for Governor. It will be recollected that last winter, at Ilarrisburg, wbeu the United States Seuatorsbip was pend ing, Gen. Beaver's prospects were de stroyed by the fact that be was put forth by and from tbe bouse of Don Cameron. Of that there was no denial But we are glad to see a denial of this alleged recent nomination for Governor. We have always regarded Gen. Beaver as personally one of tbe best men in tbe "State, and we are strongly inclined to believe that were he Govern »r he has tco much good character to suffer himself to be used by tbe Bosses who have been making our nominations for us for some years past. Tbe Repub lican people of the State intend to have something to say in the coming State nominations. There are a num ber of good men named for Governor, and others may yet be named by their people. Besides Gen Beaver there are Wayne MacVeagb, Senator Lee, of Venango county, and others already mentioned, and, as the Philadelph'a Prett very aptly says, a StaLe Con vention will be held at the proper time, "at some place within the State of Pennsylvania." Did space permit wc would say more on this subject at pres ent, and will take the first fitting op portunity to do so. The matter of Governor is one of so much importance to the people that they do not want to make another mistake in their candi date. COLLECTOR TWENTY-THIRD DISTRICT. "Senator Mitchell and Representa tives Bayne, Shallenberger and Miller and Colonel John M. Sullivan, Col lector of Revenue in the Twenty-third district of Pennsylvania, called on the President this morning and stated to him that it was their wish, and tbey believed the wish of a large majority of the people of the district, that Col. Sullivan should be retained in the of fice of Collector. They cited the fact that General Raum, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, regarded Colonel Sullivan as one of the most capable and efficient officials in the service and that nothing could be said adverse to his continuance in the office, unless it shoulil"be a rule of the administration that long service should be a cause of removal. President Arthur replied that he had made uo such rule and that the circumstances surrounding this case seemed to him favorable to the retention of Colonel Sullivan. Cel. Sullivan will no doubt continue to serve his country for some years." The above we find in the telegraph ic news from Washington of last Thurs day. It is admitted on all hands that the Government has in its seryice no better officer than Col. Sullivan. Of the millions that have passed through bis office as the Collector of Internal Revenue, for the district of which this county has always been apart, not a dollar has ever been unaccounted for. His integrity in and fidelity to the duties of his trust have frequently been noticed by the head of the Internal Revenue department, and it is these facts that cause his retention in the service of the Government. Our mem ber in Congress, Mr. Miller, therefore spoke truly when he stated his belief that a large majority of the people of the district desired that Col. Sullivan should be retained in the office of Col lector. Col. Bayne, the member from the Allegheny city district, where the office is located, made a similar state ment, and no doubt reflects the views of his people. Under such circum stances it will be simply the interest of the Government to retain the services of so faithful an officer as John M. Sullivan. (/'eulrevllle Iteiu*. Simon is himself again. J. H.

[CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAG* ] A SENATOR SWORN. The next witness sworn was Ben jamin Harrison, United States Senator from Indiana. He testified that be had met the prisoner a few times in Washington last spring. Some time after the inauguration of President Garfield prisoner called to see him at the Riggs House and sent him several copies of his speech, 'Garfield vs, Han- cock.' He saw him several tirnas in the office or reading room of the Riggs House in the course of six weeks, and had several brief conversations with him. The prisoner applied to witness for some aid in connection with his ap plication for office. Witues3 responded that he was already overloaded with similar apblications from his own Bute and could not interfere in his behalf. In several other conversations the prisoner spoke about the dead lock in the Senate, and said name had not vet been sent to the Senate, but thought it would be as soon as the dead-lock was broken. Witness saw nothing either in the conduct or coversation of the prisoner that raided in his mind any question of the prison er's canity The Prisoner —You are a <rood fel low, Senator. 1 remember you very well. Our conversations were gene rally social. I). McLean Shaw te.-tified that Oul teau told him he was bound to have notoriety some way or other He might kill some big man and imitate I Wilkes Booth— At tbitf the prisoner became very violent and abusive, and shouted, 'That is a lie.' The witness said: 'And get hanged for it.' 'Well,' said he, 'that is au af ter consideation.' I did not carry that conversation any further. THE LIE DIBECT. The Prisoner—l have not known anything about this man Shaw foreight years, but when he repeats this kind of testimony I say to him, '\ou are a liar ! a low' dirty liar!' I never had that kind of conversation with you in my life, and you know it \ou c'uiro to be a good" churchman, too. That story is a falsehood from beginning to end, and you are a sneaking liar. That is my opinion of you. I will publish you all over the world, and when you go back to New \ ork you will be the laughing stock of your friends. I never thought so and I never said so I would like you to state all about it in detail If you cannot do that, you Btand condemned as a liar. District Attorney—Where did that conversation occur in which he said he intended to imitate Wilkes Booth and become notorious ? Witness—ln my office. Of course I cannot fix the date. Prisoner (snarling ot witness) —No. of course you can't fix the date, you miserable lying wbelp. I never said so and never thought so. Witness—The moment I heard of the shooting of President Garfield Mr. Scoville(interupting)—Wait, sir. How long have you been a lawyer ? Prisoner—He is no lawyer He is a petteforgger He gets a man about New York to do all bis jury business. He has not got brains enough to try a case before a jury. Patterson usod to do all his jury business. Sbaw used to lie around and get Patterson to try all his jury cases because he had not brains enough to do it himself. District Attorney—How did you regard him mentally ? Witness—l did not think much of him mentally at that time A SEVERE SCORCHING. Prisoner (continuing to rail at wit ness) —Not after 1 owed you SSO After that you could see in good in me I have beard of you running with wo men. My wife told me once in Chica go that you went and visited her. I am going to show you up. yon wretch. You are a low, dirtv-lived puppy to come here and lie about me in that way. The Court (severely to prisoner)— Silence. Prisoner—He had no business to come here and lie about me. That would make anybody mad. The lying whelp. District Attorney—What was his reply to your remarks as to his being hanged ? Witness—He said that would be an after consideration, and he could get notoriety anyhow. The Prisoner—l do not care a snap about notoriety. I have told you three or four you lie. That settles you. I will not condescend to notice yon again. District Attorney—ln your conver sation with him did he say anything to you about his being bound to get a living ? Witness—Yes He said he was bound to get a living anyhow. That the world owed him a living and he would get it Court adjourned till Monday. AN EXPERT DECLARES THE ASSASSIN INSANE. WASHINGTON, Monday December 12.—The first witness in the Guiteau case to-day was Dr. Edward Charles Spitzga, of New York. Witness had made the study of nervous and mental diseases a specialty, and had been called to testify as an expert about tweuty-five times. Witness examined the prisoner in jail yesterday, and was satisfied he is insane. Witness con sidered the main features of the prison er's case to be a tendency to the for i.ration of delusive opinions and mor bid projects, and strong indications of judgment. 'And while,' said the wit ness, 'I have no other evidence than the expression of his face, 1 should have uo doubt that he is a moral im becile or a moral monstrosity ' Mr. Scoville then read to the witness a hypothetical question aud asked if in his ( witness') opinion the prisoner was sane or insane on the 2d of July. Wit ness declined to answar any hypothet ical questions in cases where he had made personal examina ion. Witness considered th<- prisoner insane when he examined him. tie believed he must, have been in more or less of a morbid mental stale throughout his li. . and that he was probably insane <. the 2d of July. Ihe cross examination was quite pointedly directed to witness'practice anil stauding as au expert, and inqui ries were made as to witness' position as professor at a veterinary school Mr. Scoville objected to the question as not pertinent. Mr Davidge replied—l'he attiu meuttt of this witucbs huvo been purud- Ed bv counsel on the other side, and we think it decidedly pertinent this case to discover what opportunities for professional acquirements the witness has enjoyed. Mr. Scoville noted the exception. The witness had no reason to feel ashamed of his sphere of duty iu that connection. Mr. Davidge—Yes, but your treat ment at the time must have been con fined mostly to horses, and those gen tlemen then, are known as horse doc tors, are they not ? Witness (reddening with some ex citement) —My treatmeut has been confined to asses. W hen an ass with two legs asks me a stupid Question, I endeavor to treat him as he deserves. [Great laughter.] The witness stated he visited the jail under the assumed name of Prof. Brown, phrenologist. He desired to vake the prisoner unawares and so pre tended to make a psychological exam ination. WILL NOT SAY HE 18 HOT RESPONSIBLE. Witness was asked if the prisoner was able to distinguish between right and wrong, and declined to express an opinion as to his moral responsibility, but from his examination of the prison er be was of an opinion that sinco he (the prisoner) has been a lawyer be has always known the ordinary legal consequences of criminal acts. Guiieau (interrupting)—l haven't been a lawyer f<ji five years. Judge, ile t;aid when I was a lawyer. \ou see that don't help you any, Judge. Ask him if I was responsible for my acts on the second of July. The witness would not undertake to express a decided opinion as to the men tal condition of the prisoner on July 2d. Guitean—There was no depravity about this business at all, and I think it is a burning shame for the gentle men of the prosecution to harp upon that word 'depravity.' I've been a consistent Christian all my life, because I committed adultery to get rid of a woman I did not love, and owe a few hundred dollars, it is a burning shame for this prosecution to blacken my charcter. Despite eries of 'silence' and 'order' Guiteau continued to strike upon the table and shriek out at the top of his voice, 'I am not afaid to go to the gal lows, if the Lord Almighty wishes me to go there. I expect an act of Go} that will blow this court and Jury oot of that window, to protect me if neces sarv. I want to thunder this in the ears of the American people.' Mr, Davidge (with an air of disgust) Oh! this pantomime business is getting plgyed out. Guiteau—You are getting played out, and your theory of the prosecution, too. The court here took a recess. A BLAST AT THE PREBS. As soon as Court was called to order, Guiteau, with flashing eyes and ner vous utterance, shouted out, 'There are a good many poodle dogs in the press, and I want to express my con tempt for these poodle dogs of the press. The high-toned press of the country are beginning to express their opinion that it would be a crime to hang a man who was in my condition on the 2d of July, when I was impelled upon the President.' Some one in the audience cried out, 'Shoot him now.' Cries of "order'from the bailiffs re duced the audience to quiet and Dr. Spitzka again took the stand. The witness concluded from the shape of the facial muscles, and from the pronounced deviation of the tongue to the left, that the prisoner was born with unequal development of brains, f,hat hit; insanity was congenital. The witness disunited with great particular ities of the head formation which he had detected in the prisoner's case. He thought in the prisoner's case the inequality iu the two sides of the head was three times greater than in the normal head. The inequality could lie taken as an indication of moral im becility, only iu proportion to its de gree. CONGENITAL DEFECTS. The witness continued, 'lf I had only that man's (pointing at Guiteau) mean face to judge by, I might say he was a depraved man or an insane man, but introducing other factors, the une qual formation of the head, inequality of facial expression and deviation of the tongue, I am of the opinion the trouble is of congenital origin.' The court adjourned without con cluding the examinatton. THE ASSASSIN'S SANITY. WASHINGTON, Tuesday, December 13. ;r. Spitzka resumed his testi mony in the Guiteau case to-day. Mr. Corkhill handed to the witnes a slip of • paper upon which was draw a diagram of a human head, and said, 'Now, Doctor, supposing this to be the pris oner's head, will you please point out the inequalities to which you referred yesterday V Before any reply could be made Guiteau raised a laugh by saying, 'That accounts for it. A hatter came to see me this morning and offered me a new h*t if I would let him take my head. I got the hat, but you dou't pay for it, Corkhill. Ob, no. The Government will have to do so.' Witness thought that the proper way to summon the experts would be for the Court to summon them irre spective of the chances of what their testimony might be. Mr. Corkhill insisted that the wit ness had attacked the character aud honesty of experts who were supposed to entertaiu the opposite opinion from himself on the prisoner's sanity. Guiteau interrupted in his most angry mood, and shaking his head at Col. Corkhill shouted : 'lt's tho unan imous judgmeut of the American |»eo« pie that you area consummate jackass, Corkbill. This gentleman is an honest man, aud if your skull was uot so thick you would see it.' Witness desired to explain his posi tion and Baid : 'I do not hesitate to reiterate my opinion that the expert who will in this court testify that tho prisoner is sane is, iu my opiuion, no expert, or a dishonest mau.' ANOTHER SORT OF EXPERT. l>r. Fordvce Barker, of New York, wus next examined. The audience listened intently a* the distinguished physician defined insanity and the several phases thereof. Dr. Barker's comprehensive aud positive conclusions were all iu accord with the theory of the prosecution. Judge Cox requested the witness to explain to the jury what he meant by irresistable impulse, aud the answer ' Was "perversions of cuiotiou to such a degree us to produce conduct entirely at variance with the individual's former life, and to such a degree as to completely control the will power, would constitute an irre siatable impulse.' Quiteau—Doctor, I want to ask yon, where a man is impelled to commit a crime by impulse he cannot resist, is he sane or insane ? Answer—When that fact can be proved, sir, it is insanity. Guiteau—'That's just my case, sir,' with an air of perfect satisfaction. Then turning to Scoville, Come, that's the whole case. Let's have a recess. I'm getting hungry. Mrs. Scoville desired to ask a ques tion. Guiteau (Impatiently)—Oh, you keep still. It's all they can do to put up with me. Judge Cox assented, and Mrs. Sco ville asked, Can a mau be born insane? Answer—No, madam. He could be born an idiot or an imbecile. Insanity is an acquired state after birth. The eourt here took a recess. FURTHER EVIDENCE OF SANITY. After recess L. S. Gobell, of New York, took the witness stand. Guiteau—lt Your Honor please, I would like to know what they expect to prove by this witness. 1 think we have had about enough of this kind of testimony, I only knew this man slightly. j udge Cox—lt is not necessary to i-tate iu advance. Go on, Mr. Witness. Witness was in the life insurance business. The prisoner desired to solicit for him. Witness paid him $25, but never realized any business from his efforts. The prisoner told witness he was about to marry a wealthy lady, and was to have the Austrian mission, and wapted to borrow S3OO- Witness did not detect any eyidence of unsound mind. W. P. Copeland, journalist, called and identified some newspaper slips. Guiteau—You're no lawyer, Cope land. H. T. Ketcbam, New York, attorney at law, knew prisoner in 1873, when be occupied a desk in the office of Judge Hawes. Witness related an iustanee of Guiteau's obtaining money under false pretences. Mr. Scoville objected to all testimony going to show the commission of any other crime or misdemeanor by priso ner. Guiteau never got a cent from this man in my life. He was only a poor clerk. I didn't con sider him a proper associate for a high toned lawyer like myself. The prisoner continually interrupted and insisted that the evidence was en tirely irrelevant Fnally, turning to Mr. Scoville, be said : 'You are get ting badly cranked on this matter. If you had any sense you would see it don't do our case any good. You'll be on trial as a crank yourself if you don't look out. Why, you are getting worse than Corkbill.' Henry Wood, of Philadelphia, had known the prisoner some years; had never seen anything to indicate that he was of unsound mind; always thought he was possessed of rare in telligence. The witness knew Guiteau's wife. Some members of his family having rendered her services, Guiteau called upon him to thank the family for their kindness. Samuel B. Philips, a broker, of New York, had known the prisoner since 18fi8. First knew him in Chicago. Witness, in the fourteen years he had known prisoner, never saw any thing to indicate that be was of un sound mind. The court adjourned. A SICK JUROR CAUSES EARLY ADJOURN MENT OF THT COURT. WASHINGTON, Wednesday, Decem ber 14.—The crowd about the Crimi nal Court an hour before opening was greater than ever before. The first ! witness was I)r. John L. Withrow of Boston. Guiteau at once called, | 'l)r. Withrow is the honored ' pastor of the Park Street Church, of i Boston, Where I used to attend church when I was there. He is a very fine gentleman.' Witness said the prisoner desired to deliver a lecture in his (witness') I church in answor to Ingersoll, but witness declined to have the church used for that purpose. Witness ob served him during the winter at the meetings and social gathering* of the church. I never saw the least indica tion of unsoundness of mind, but on the contrary I thought be possessed unusual shrewdness. Correcting him self the witness added, '1 should say cuteness.' Guiteau—What's tbo difference, Doctor ? Answer—Tho one means brighter than the other. Col. Corkbill—And of a larger calibre. Guiteau—He didn't say that, Cork hill. You must have slept well lest night. That is the smartest thing you said yet. Witness said the prisoner generally took part in discussions upon whatever subject might be under discussion; that he was always critical and accusative rather than conciliatory and kind. Guiteau—l always spoke to the point as incisive and gritty. That's me. There's no nonsense or romance in my composition. If there had been I might have gone through tbo world i more smoothly. It is very evident to my mind and every one th»t tho sole object of this kind of examination is to show that I know the difference be tween right and wrong. That has nothing whatever to do with this case. The only question is whether or not my free moral agency was destroyed when I was impelled upon tho Presi dent. That's the point, Judge and it knocks the bottom out of your theory.' After a short pause he broke out again and with increased vehemence, •I'm not beru to save my neck from the gallows; I'm hero for vindication, for justice and for right.' Judge Cox—Well, that will do; now suspend your remarks. Guiteau—All ntrht. When I get to i the jury I'm going to talk to them on i this subject. This is just a little inci dental speech. J t'barlefl A. Bryan, of tho New York Equitable Lifo Insurance Company, i knew the prisoner iu New Vork. The . witue.-s was proceeding to relate th.- of Guiteau's connection with hir company when the prisoner indignantly shouted: 'Well, now, I want to sity right here, when a witness corves herp arjd tells what is false I shall tell him he is miotakeu, for that is false; that is a lie; and, finally, you are a miserable whelp That is as far as I .shull go. It is equivalent to a bar roou» expression, 'Go down below,' i but I don't go that far.' The witness said the prisoner asked for a loan on the strength of a ship he was to have; considered him sane. Mr. Henrj M. Collier, attorney, of New York, took the stand. 'I remember you, sir,' shouted Gui teau. 'You are that man that put up that Herald job on me. Keep quiet, sir; (turning to Scoville) I will dispose of this matter in short order. He brought suit against me to pay over certain money, and the Court ruled I should keep "it. That kills his evi dence.' The witness related an instance of Guiteau's collecting $175 and failing to pay it over. His evidence proved extremely damaging to the prisoner's oft asserted claim of having always lived an upright, Christian life, and Guiteau wriggled and expostulated, and vainly attempted to explain the transaction. The witness at one point said, 'I informed Judge Donoghue at the time that I considered Guiteau a thief aud a scoundrel.' Guitsau (excitedly)— You did not, dare not, sav that to me. I would have knocked you down. One of the jurors stated to the court be could not possibly concentrate bis thoughts upon the evidence (feeling ill as he did), aud the court adjourned. THE ASSASSIN MAKING THE MOST OF IIIS PRIVILEGE. WASHINGTON, Thursday, December Js ; —As soon as the Court was called to order, Guiteau addressed the Court and said, 'I want to make a speech. It will be a great misfortune if anything should happen to this jury. They are very honest, intelligent men, and I want the beat care taken of them. There are some of them who are not accustomed to good, wholesome food, and consequently they are liable to indigestion. I want the Court to or der them out every morning for a walk of four or five miles before breakfast. I have two QP three more little ppeech es to make, but this will do for the present.' Judge Cox—The Court will attend to the wants of tbo jury. Collier recalled—Witness never de tected any signs of insanity in the prisoner. Witness—ln my opinion at the time I knew him he was perfectly compe tent to distinguish between right and wropg. Exception by Scoville. Mr. Scoville asked—What is your ■ opinion of the prisoner's ability to dis tinguish bttween right and wrong at . the present time ? The question was ruled out and i another exception noted by Mr. Sco • ville. r ANOTHER RANTING SCENE. ; J. M. Justice, a lawyer of Logans port, Ind., met the prisoner in 1878. i The prisoner was selling a book, the ' 'Life of Moody.' Quiteau interrupted: 'You are mix l ing me up with some one else, sir.' I Witness continued, but waß again » interrupted by Guiteau, who shouted, > 'Stop right there. Can you ideutify ■ me as the man ?' » Witness—l think I can. r Guiteau—Can you swear to it? i Witness—Yes, I can. r Guiieau—Well, you are a liar, sir; a miserable liar That's the best way f to dispose of you. » Witness continuing, said the prison er remained in Logausport about three J weeks selling the book. Guiteau con - tiuually interjected abusive comments - and finally shouted, 'You miserable whelp, to'come here and make me out » book agent. I was preaching the Gospel and I sold roy owu produc tions.' In a few minutes he turned to Mr. Scoville with intense disgust and said, 'Oh, cut this fool short; he's lying all through. Don't waste time on him.' Mr. Scoville asked—'What was the appearance of the prisoner when you knew him?' Auswer —He looked about the same as now. except about the eyes. Mr. Scoville—-What was the differ ence in the expression of the eyes ? Answer —At that time he had a free expression, now bis expression seems fcuppressed. Guiteau—l don't think I'm much suppressed this morning. It seems to ine I'm pretty lively. Qgiteau gradually worked himself Into a to vering rage, and declaimed against the witness, the prosecution and cranks, whom ho claimed threat ened him with violence, bis Billings gate being specially directed against the prosecuting attorney. Referring to Colonel Corkbill he said, 'He's get ting too dirty aud too stinking to live, and the first thing he knows God Al mighty will take him and send him down below-' KATIIER OONVINOWU. Her. Hush R Shippeu, pastor of AH Souls' Church, Washington, boarded at the same bouse and occupied a seat at the same table with the prisoner from April last until the day before the murder of the President, when he (prisoner) disappeared. Witness bad frequent conversations with the prison er; both had lived in Chicago and that formed a basis of conversations which led to quite a familiar acquaintance ship. The prisoner was chatty and polite, a little quick or nervous in ut terance, but not sufficiently BO to in dicate a marked peculiarity. Witness never detected anything to indicate insanity. The usual topic of conver- J sation "between myself aud prisoner j was the Conkliog Garfield imbroglio : and the New Testament revision On i no occasion did prisoner exhibit more excitement than any other person might. INTELLIGENT AND SANK Doctor Noble, a young physician at the jail where Guiteau is cenfiined, related the particulars of several con-J versations with the prisoner. At one , jime he asked the prisoner why he i 'removed' (ijsipg tbp prisoner's term) j the President. His reply was, 'Uo-i cause I was inspired to do so.' Andj a liitle after, 'lr the president should i die I will be convinced that my inepi- ' ration was from the Deity; but If he ; should recover 1 will be in doubt about • it.' Witness was asked if he considered ; | tli«» prisoner sane, and replied: 'A per-. fectly sane man, sir, and as bright, : quirk and intelligent a man as you would see in a summer's day. Not; ' the slightest indication of insanity | about him. A little impatient of re | straint at times—a little nervous, as i men In his position would naturally be, but porfectly sane.' j 1 7 r I i CONGRESS adjourns to-day until after j the Holidays. A.
