It acorns a tritle strange that tho medical gentlemen, who arc now 80 profoundly convinced of Guiteau's Insanity, did not take steps to socure authority to make a scientific examination of the assassin before the week tixed for his exocution arrived. Many of tho doctors who figure on the petition asking for a stay of execution of sentence testilied for tho defense during the trial. After months spent in patiently listening to tho testimony bearing on tho question of tho prisoner's mental condition, the jury decided that when he lired the fatal shot he know tliat ho was doing an act contrary to ilie law, and if his mind was weak or unbf lanced it was not to a degree that made him insano and irresponsible. Governor. Secretary Folgcr has decided not to reverse the decision charging duties on hoop iron, or hoop iron .splayed and cut for lmrrcl hoops.

In regard to Mr. Scovillc's inoxperience and incompetency Dr. Board says " that when he was summonod to testify fur the defense ho told Mr. Scuville that Guiteau was one of tho most insane men, of tho form of insanity that he represents, that had ever been brought before the Court, and he would gladly testify at the outset of tho trial, as soon as timo came for oxpert testimony, that ho did not wish to answer useless hypothetical questions, but would explain in detail tho philosophy of insanity and its relations to this special caso. He told Mr. Seoville to telegraph to him whonevor ready for him. To his surprise, Mr. Scovillo did not telograph for him, but instead wrote out an absolutely senseless and unscientitic, hypothetical question, to the pre|iaration of which as he afterward confessed to Dr. Beard, he gave but twenty minutes, and summoned to tliC! witness stand that morning, a Arabi Piislia Hays lie will resist, to death, overy pretense on tlio part of the enemies of Kgypt to interfere with her affairs.

From the best information obtainable it appears that the wave was about two milos wide aud eleven feet higher than the surface of the lake. It came in the wake of a dense, angry looking, black and gray cloud, which moved sullenly from northward over the city. There was no rain or wind at the lake shore, but a dash of rain fell in some parts of the city aud the wind blow fiercely south of the town. Vessels parted their lines at the uiouth of the river, and piors and docks wore subnerged to a depth of four feet in some places. Hundreds of fish were oast ashore.

The Pennsylvania contest becomes a matter of national interest to the Domocracy, and the pressure has been very groat to make the Pennsylvania leaders put the party in the very best attitudo for a substantial victory. This sentiment is what will be felt at Harrisburg next week, and the leaders, although entirely at sea about a candidate, are confident that the Convention will commit no blunders. They regard the battle as likely to be decisive of the greater battle of 1884, and unless the little politicians get the better df (lie wiser managers, a s.rong ticket may be expected from tho Convention of the 28th instant. \ Flnul Adjournment Decided Upon In the In the House number of most eminent experts in the country whom ho had callod in defense, and put to them this question aud then dismissed them without giving them any opportunity whatever, to give a scientific opinion, or to explain the nature of tho prisoner's insanity. Those exports, on their return, wore justly indignant at being treated in this unscientific way, aud liavo since, with ono exception, publicly expressed their opinion that Guiteau was insane and irresponsible. Mr. Seoville, on being asked by Dr. Beard subsequently, why he was not summoned, said that lie was thoroughly demoralized, aud that ho did not feel that he could trust tho 6x]ierts. There would have been no difficulty in obtaining at least ono month's solid expert testimony of the highest order for the dofense. Where to-day the profession stand, to-morrow all will stand. That Guitoau was insane, and consequently irresponsible, will bo not only tho general hut the universal vordict of the world. If Guiteau is hanged, the country will see tli&t a terribly insane man has been executed ; they will agree with William II. Seward, in his defense of tho negro murderer Freeman, that "tho execution of a madman is murder," and by an inevitable law of reaction the tendency afterwards will lie to save from punishment those who are responsible and deserve punishmont.

It acorns a tritle strange that tho medical gentlemen, who arc now 80 profoundly convinced of Guiteau's Insanity, did not take steps to socure authority to make a scientific examination of the assassin before the week tixed for his exocution arrived. Many of tho doctors who figure on the petition asking for a stay of execution of sentence testilied for tho defense during the trial. After months spent in patiently listening to tho testimony bearing on tho question of tho prisoner's mental condition, the jury decided that when he lired the fatal shot he know tliat ho was doing an act contrary to ilie law, and if his mind was weak or unbf lanced it was not to a degree that made him insano and irresponsible. Governor. Secretary Folgcr has decided not to reverse the decision charging duties on hoop iron, or hoop iron .splayed and cut for lmrrcl hoops.

From the best information obtainable it appears that the wave was about two milos wide aud eleven feet higher than the surface of the lake. It came in the wake of a dense, angry looking, black and gray cloud, which moved sullenly from northward over the city. There was no rain or wind at the lake shore, but a dash of rain fell in some parts of the city aud the wind blow fiercely south of the town.

The Pennsylvania contest becomes a matter of national interest to the Domocracy, and the pressure has been very groat to make the Pennsylvania leaders put the party in the very best attitudo for a substantial victory. This sentiment is what will be felt at Harrisburg next week, and the leaders, although entirely at sea about a candidate, are confident that the Convention will commit no blunders. They regard the battle as likely to be decisive of the greater battle of 1884, and unless the little politicians get the better df (lie wiser managers, a s.rong ticket may be expected from tho Convention of the 28th instant. \ Flnul Adjournment Decided Upon In the In the House number of most eminent experts in the country whom ho had callod in defense, and put to them this question aud then dismissed them without giving them any opportunity whatever, to give a scientific opinion, or to explain the nature of tho prisoner's insanity. Those exports, on their return, wore justly indignant at being treated in this unscientific way, aud liavo since, with ono exception, publicly expressed their opinion that Guiteau was insane and irresponsible. Mr. Seoville, on being asked by Dr. Beard subsequently, why he was not summoned, said that lie was thoroughly demoralized, aud that ho did not feel that he could trust tho 6x]ierts. There would have been no difficulty in obtaining at least ono month's solid expert testimony of the highest order for the dofense. Where to-day the profession stand, to-morrow all will stand. That Guitoau was insane, and consequently irresponsible, will bo not only tho general hut the universal vordict of the world. If Guiteau is hanged, the country will see tli&t a terribly insane man has been executed ; they will agree with William II. Seward, in his defense of tho negro murderer Freeman, that "tho execution of a madman is murder," and by an inevitable law of reaction the tendency afterwards will lie to save from punishment those who are responsible and deserve punishmont.
