Mthoopemng of court Guifeean stated that he had thirty checks, representing about $16,- 000, some of which were worthless, and that he wanted ns more of the latter kind. When Mr. Booville ukM if the nri«onw wnnM Kg jttnnj to spoalc to the Juiy, the assassin exclaimed that no wouldn't trust his case in the hands of tho best lawyer in America. Judge Cox said it was safe to assume that Gui- teau would abuse the privilege of arguing in his own defense, for which reason it would not be granted. Mr. Beed th«n com­ menced an argument which consumed the day, and was subjected to frequent interruptions by the assassin. There were portions of the speech which osemed to coi*" .terably impress the jury--notably the very iiathetio passages in which Mr. Beed denounced the crime for its- atrocity, and pictured the widow nightly pray­ ing that the murderer of her husband might be pronounced insane. Those who closely watched the jury observed that there were tears in the eyes of some. Reed's method wns earnest and deliberate. His expression was always serious. He fought to prove that, from tho tune of hie birth, Gniteau was a victim of mental disease. Commencing with, the period of his mother's maternity, he showed that all through the weary months she was an invalid, and aligned that Guiteau was the sufferer from this. The boy could not talk till he was 6 vears old. and was whip­ ped by his father "because lie could not-- whipped from boyhood, Reed argued, be- sau*>« y»• taad of God was on him. He iod a blameless life from that hoar; it was main­ tained, to the age of 19, when he struck his father. That, the counsel claimed, was an act of madness. Then Luther Guiteau, worthy man as he rrtny have have been in mil other respects, was insane upon religion, and he forced young Guiteau to enter the Oneida Community, which was tho vestibule of hell. From iJhat hour. Reed endeavored to show by Guiteau's letters, which the prosecu­ tion had introduced, and by the testimony of . the Government witnesses, the prisoner was insane. The circumstances surrounding the shooting he dwelt upon witli great emphasis, as indicating this. Rwi drew a parallel favora­ ble to Guiteau from the various promi­ nent political assassinations of history, ending with William Lawrence's attack upon Andrew Jackson. He even quoted the case of Charlotte Corday as one of insanity. Reed quoted Guiteau agiinst himself to prove h.s insanity; and mildly characterized his outrageous outburst as " to some extent a boisterous manner." When Reed went so far as to predict that Guiteau would become a driveling idiot, the latter from the dock hissed out an indignant "Pish !'* In conclusion, Reed said: "Gentlemen of the jury, you all said, when you were sworn, that you would be governed by the evidence ana stand up to it, without regard to the effect it might have upon you and your business. I adjure you to keep that oath. Falter not in the performance of the duty which shall save you and this fair land from eternal dis­ grace. I assert that the conviction of this man to the gallows, and his execution, would be an infamy beyond description--an indelible stain on American jurisprudence and Amer­ ican juries. Think of the scene if you condemn him to the gallows! Though not present in body to see the sight you cannot but be then in mind. Ir such a day shall ever come (and I do not believe it ever can eomo under this evidence) thirk of this man brought out from his oeil with the same pal* face and same weary, wandering eyes ! The officers of the law gathering round him, pin­ ioning him, binding him with cords so that his muscles stand out, covering him with the black hood, shutting out the light of day from him, and leading him to the scaffold. Think of him--a lunatic--condemued to the gallows--a lunatic whom the Savior, if He were on earth, would heal! The picture is nqt overdrawn 1 I am very much obliged to you for your attention. I only ask you, Pray do that which shall not, m after years, bring a blush of shame to your cheeks." WStr-nFTH DAT. George Scoviile began his argument for the defense, and consumed the day without finish­ ing. He started by charging that there was a conspiracy to bang the prisoner. He then proceeded to name the conspirators : The Djp- trict Attorney, Judge Porter, Mr. Davidge and five of the Government experts, namely, Drs. Gray, Hamilton, Kempster, MacDonald and Wooster. The counts of this indictment, twen­ ty in number, are : First--They have perverted the law in this sase. Scoviile, in illustration or Mpport of this count, alluded to the introduction py Judge Por­ ter of the deci^ionoj* ^ ~ ~ - ntly rei WRRed thC^'snifeestion "tBat Judge Davis sat with Cardozo or/Barnard, but ,1 have yet to learn if either cT theM* aver committed a more reprehensible act '•hat of Judge Davis." Scoviile warmed up with his subject, and tM nounced in severe language the extra-judicial act of Judge Davis. " Had a newspaper been guilty of such a bold-faced attempt to influence the decision in a peuding cause, the editor would have bean subject to arrest for con­ tempt" Judge Porter--"Don't let ns turn this court­ room mto a town meeting." Scoviile resumed, but was soon interrupted by Davidge, who, with some impatience, said;. "Oh, no, no, Scoviile ; that's not so." Scoviile--You may interrupt as much as you please; I shall not be deterred from saying just what I believe to be the truth. Davidge--Well, well, I'll not interrupt agai^ and say what you may. Gnteau--That's right, Davidge ; you keep quiet. You talked for two days and didn't say anything eithar; now give some one else a show. BcovilT* continued: When Judge Porter comes before this jury and undertakes to pervert evi­ dence, I shall not keep quiet, as I did with Dav­ idge, hut I shall slop him. Guiteau--So shall L Scoviile--I shall stop him, and I shall osrrect him, it I find he is misstating evidence. Guiteau--Never mind; Til attend to htm Judge Porter--There will be two Guiteaas then to attend to me. Scoviile continued : " The prosecution states that if the prisoner knew the fact was wrong on July 2, then he should hang. Now this is not by any means the whole of it, or a correct statement of the law. The court has added in substance as follows: • Yet if m this act he was overpowered by a consciousness coming through his disoased mind that what he was doing was necessary for the good of the country aud was specially approved bv God, then you cannot convict him of murder.'v Scoviile proceeded to point out to the jury what ho termed the perversions of evidence by Davidge. He attacked the theory of the pros­ ecution that it was the prisoner's own innate or acquired depravity that naturally led up to tho killing of the President aud discussed at some length the evidence introduced by them to show instances of the prisoner's meanness and depravity. "This evidence," said Scoviile, " has in almost every instance been perverted. Counsel parade here the debts owed by the prisoner, and attempt to make much of them in this chani they are weaving." Guiteau--I owe about $1,000, and I suppose that ought to hang a man. If these people will send in their hills now, I'll give them checks for them, and get them out of the way. I suppose I've got some money now. I'll get rid of these people, and then I won't owe any­ body. Scoviile then alluded to the incident sworn to by Shaw of Guiteau pawning a worthless watch for $25. Guiteau shouted : " Oh, you better stop on Shaw--' pshaw,' I mean." And added : "That was meant for a pun, but they don't seem to see it" Scoviile denounced the witness Shaw. He believed he had deliberately perjured himself to this ease, as had also the contemptible little Jew clerk who came down here to help Shaw eat Guiteau screamed out: " This whole testi­ mony of Shaw is false, and no deoent •»" would believe it for an instant." ^ FOKTY-SIXTH DAT. Scoviile resumed his argument for the de­ fense, and was at once interrupted by Guiteau, who made one of his characteristic speeches, asking the court to instruct that if it appear that he was foroed by the Deity to remove the President he may be acquitted on tho ground of transitory mania. Sickles, McFarland and Hiscock, he said, were acquitted on the grooad of transitory mania. Scoviile began with a general complaint of the alleged unfairness on the part of the pros­ ecution, particularly of the Prosecuting Attor­ ney. Ho had from the beginning orescribed who should vufit the jail and who should not. He had introduced persons into the prisoner's | cell under false guise, to worm out his secrets and when the prisoner said anything which i to his benefit tho Prosecuting At~ might inure nlr- torney has been very careful to let it become known. He complained of Corkhiil's unfair­ ness in destroying the notes of Stenographer Bailey, so that the defense could not have the benefit of them. The conduct of the prosecu­ tion in the court-room, he alleged, was not only unfair to the defense, but was oftsn discourte­ ous and more befitting a police oourt than Sooville th«a criticised severely the course of the prosecution in refusing to permit the pris­ oner to address the Jury for a brief hour or two, simply because they feared lie might disclose bv his manner or ^p^MCti his true mental condition. SooviBe thanealtod attention to the letter writ- tfenby&ntteaa to (he District Attorney, and from which a portion had been clipped, as he claimed, by the prosecution, and in a spirit of unfair­ ness. Davidge (smiling)--" Oh. just assume that one of the conspirators cut it out" Corkhill-- "I suppose what you are driving at is that you want the jury to think I cut a slip out of that letter." Scoviile--•' I believe it was done by you, or by your direction, for the reason that you believed it for the interest of the^rosecntion." " So do I," shouted Gniteau. Scoviile then praoeeded to give the jury his views upon Judge Porter, and to instruct then as to how finch weight they should attach to his utterances, and as to the best means of counteracting the influence of his oratory. Porter, he said, was prostituting his fine at­ tainments in an effort to hang an insane man. Scoviile then reviewed the prisoner's life, and said: " When he left the Oneida Community, he sought out Beeoher's church, the Young Men's Christian Association, and the society of Christian people. His tendencies at this time were not immoral, nor had he shown any indi­ cation of that awful (with sarcasm) crime of not paying his board-bills, for which this prosecu­ tion are trying to hang him." Corkhill--"Oh, no. If he is hung at all, it i will be tot murder--not for owing board- ' bills." Guiteau eal!p«I ont: "I guess there ain't much chance of my being hung, anyhow." Scoviile continued, up to the houa. of ad­ journment, his review of the life of the pris­ oner, explaining hijt acts in the light of coun­ sel's (Scoville's) theory upon the case. Guiteau ecoasKmally oomasented, but never seriously disturbed thr <mtim ef the argument Scoviile spoke of tho monumental assurance of the prisoner i® naming himself in connec­ tion with Ghrant, Conkhny and Arthur. " I should say a pretty line quartette," ex- daimod the prisoner. Later on, ScovUIa read from Guiteau's speech, when Guiteau called out: " You better not read any more, Scoviile; it goes dead against your ' fool' theory." lOaTT-SEVENTH DAT, Scoviile resumed his address, taking np and discussing insane-statistics introduced by the prosecution. Discussing the horrors of crime, as often shown in the acts of insane criminals, Scoyillo said there was nothing in this act to compare with some of these acts of insane criminals; "and, gentlemen of the jury," he said, "in my opinion, if there were not reasons, and powerful ones, at the back of this prosecution, this prisoner never would have been brought to trial. But I tell you, gentlemen offhe jury, back of this prose­ cution is an influence which I have felt, and which you may feel, gentlemen, before this trial is concluded. There are politicians who seek to hide their own shame behind the dis­ grace of this poor prisoner aud make him a scapegoat for thqir crime. I did not intend, gentlemen of the jury, to take up this feature of the case, but when I find the power and in­ fluence of this Government used against me in deuying the small pittance that 1 have asked for a fair and impartial trial, and the small fa­ cilities needed for a proper defense, I do, not propose to keep quiet I say that such men as Grant and Conklingv and Arthur are morally and intellectually responsi­ ble for this crime. Mr. Conkling shall not escape, shall not shirk the res}>onsibiiity of the state of things that led to th« act, and he snail not escape the condemnation of the American people, if I can help it, for his share in this disgraceful scramble for office that led to a confl.ct with the etiosen ruler of this great nation, and led this poor insane man to com­ pass--what they would have hailed with satis­ faction, as would, probably, hundreds of other politicians, if it could have occurred ot.i.er than through assassination--the removal of Garfield, who stood in the way of their uniighieona and disgraceful straggle for office. Neither shall Grant escape that condemnation to which he is so jtiHtlj\subjected( when, coming from Mexico, and coming with undue baste to throw his own name into this petty quarrel about a small office in the Republican party, he sought to foment differenoes that had sprung up. I am not going to see the misdeeds of these men, high in power, visited upon the head of this poor insane man if I can help it This clamor lor his blood is not for the purpose of avenging Garfield or of satisfying justice. Their theory is that; If it can be shown that this was the act of a sa^ie man, then these politi­ cians in high win lay, j Of course we are.nt^ j^poiv'Mltfor^jivVrisf & mtue man. re. vsiMm, tnin 'lea a man 10 such an act ;' but, on the contrary, , gent lumen of the jury, what is the effect of your verdi.-t if you acquit him as an insane man V Why, people wul say, 'Some one is at fault •' *' «y will say, ' We will fix the blame upon the heads aud hearts of those men who waged the war upon our poor dead President until it drove this poor insane man, from reading daily in tho paper* what Grant says, wnat Conkhng says, and from constantly thinking upon it, to his insane act of lulling tho President ; and there are men in hij-h places, the really culpa­ ble ones, who wilt go down to posterity with the stigma upon their muses and the detesta­ tion ot their countrymen tautened upon their memories." Scovihes denunciation of Conkling and others created a profound sensation in the oourt-rooui. The prisoner, who had been looking over the New York papers, called out: " I see the New York <'ourt of Appeals has just decided iu fa­ vor of our theory on the insanity question. I thank you, Messrs. Judges." Scoviile discussed the conduct and actions of Guiteau at the time and immediately after the shooting, and contended that they were entire­ ly in keeping with the theory of insanity--that his coolness, bis quietly going to bed and peace­ fully sleeping tue night after the murder were characteristic incidents of crime such as would be expected from an insane man and insane men. FOBTT-EIiJITTi: DAT. Guiteau opened proceedings by thanking the New York Court of Appeals for its timely de­ cision on the law of insanity. "Hitherto," said the assassin, " the law has been that the burden of proof was on tho defendant, but the Oourt of Appeals, with grind maguauimity, says that the burden of proof is on this prosecution, to prove that tho mau n>t only committed the act, but also that he has sane ai the time he committed it." After the prisoner had dolivered himself _ of this little speech, Scoviile resumed his argument, reading from the evidence of several witnesses who were at the depot ana ^awthe scooting and subsequent arrest of Guiteau, his object being to show that the prisoner was ptrfectly calm and cool, and in a condition of terves and intellect at variance with the hypothesis of sanity under such circumstances. As Scoviile proceeded. Corkhill made fre­ quent and, as the speaker evidently thought, slighting comments, unSl. finally becoming ir­ ritated, he turned to tho District. Attorney and denounced in scathing terms his unfair conduct, and instanced his presentation as' evidence in this case of a letter written by the prisoner,and which he (Corkhill) had intercepted and mu­ tilated by cutting off 'the signature and such portion as he thought might benefit the pris­ oner, " a thing," said Scoviile, "which was never before permitted in a court of justice, not even upon the tnal or a civfl suit" Corkhill (sneeriugly)--"That's your opinion merely, Mr. Scoviile. It amounts to nothing as a fact" Scoviile--"Well, let it be my opinion. I Presume I am entitled to one, and so is the ury." Guiteau (with energy)--" It was a friendly allusion to Presideut Arthur *** he cut out--- the mean, dirty whelp." As Scoviile continued, counsel for the prose­ cution frequently interrupted him, and a pun­ ning fire was kept up between counsel for some time. The speaker disclaimed as his main mo­ tive tho desire to shield the prisoner for the honor of the Guiteau family. His greatest de- wre was to save the American people and the American judiciary from tho disgrace of hur­ rying to the gibbet an insane man. Commenting upon, as he claims, the absence of motive on Guiteau's part, Soovllle read: ' You cannot find a case in history--you cannot suppose a case where a man 40 years of age, who has never committed crime, who has never for an hour associated with criminals or bad P60?}®; 1,w^l0> °u the contrary, has always sought the society, not only of the better class of people, but of Christian people ; you cannot conceive of such man's committing such a crime wiUiout motive. Nothing but the theory of insanity can postiuly account for such an act as Guiteau's." Scoviile then discussed the assumption that Guiteau nuKht have been actuated by desire for revenge, and argued the improbability of such assumption, from the fact if anv ground for ul will existed on GuiteauV part it was against Secretary Blaine, and according to the inexor­ able lu ws of mmd it would have been executed against him. There cannot possibly be showiL m "• P"* toW^ Scoviile n<TTt took up the hypothesis that the crime was committed from "an overpowering desire for notoriety, and claimed history failed to point out a cum where such a crime was committed purely aad simply from such mo­ tive, and that it was incompatible with reason and impossible for the human mind to conoeive sseh motive as sufficient to iaduea sMBif. spas •MUi tp cptniait rnnh m-ima. - '• Habit of UntrntliT ̂ * ' Some men seem to have a constitu­ tional inability to tell the simple truth. They may not mean to lie or tell an un­ truth. But they are careless--careless in hearing, careless in understanding, care­ less in repeating what is said to them. These well-meaning but reckless people do more mischief than those who inten­ tionally foment strife' by deliberate false­ hood. There is no firebrand like your well-meaning busybody, who is continu­ ally in search of sc&ndal, and by sheer habit misquotes everybody's statement. This carelessness is a sin of no small magnitude. A man's duty to his fel­ lows requires him to be careful--for wliat else were brains and common sense given him ? Of course that other class, the malignant scandal mongers who take a fiendish pleasure in pro­ moting strife, who deliberately garble men's words and twist their sentiments, is in the minority, and people have a very decided opinion regarding them. Most men misrepresent because they don't seem to think that care in speak­ ing the truth is a pre-eminent duty. The effects of this careless misrepre­ senting of others are seen everywhere. Its effect on the individual is to confirm him in a habit of loose, distorted and exaggerated statement, until telling the trutn becomes a moral impossibility. No other thing causes so many long standing friendships to be broken, sc many dissensions in churches, so much bitterness in communities and so much evil everywhere. It is an abuse that calls (or the rebuke of every honorable man; a rebuke that shall be given not only in words whenever occasion de­ mands, but in example. The Persians were said to teach their youth three things : to ride, to draw the bow, and to speak the truth. A little more instruc­ tion on this latter head would ild no harm to our " advanced civilization."-- Examiner and < fironicle. Volteau's ^oppressed Speech. Guiteau, the assassin, furnished tho Asso­ ciated Press with a brief of his proposed ad­ dress to the jury. It is like his usual drivel about the Deity having inspired the dastardly act. It is a combination of bombast, egotism and blasphemy. He starts out by saying: "If the oourt please, gentlemen of the jury, I am a patriot To-day I suffer in bonds as a patriot Washington was a patriot; Grant was a patriot Washington led the armies of the Revolution tiirough 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 prosperous' and happy. To-dsy--Christmas, 1881--1 suffer in bonds as a patriot because I had tho inspiration and nerve to unite a great political party, to the end that the nation might be saved from another devastating war. To-day I suffer in bonds as a patriot There is not the first element of mur­ der in this case." After harping at considerable length upon the old plea of inspiration, quoting Beeoher, Talmage and other clergymen, aud declaring that when he became President in 1884 he would Clean out the MorLuuiu right speedily, he closes thus to the jury: "To hang a man in my mental condition on July 2, when I fired on the President, would be a lasting disgrace to the American people. The mothers and daughters of the republic are praying that you w.ll vindicate my inspira­ tion. I beg you do not get the Deity down on you by meddling with this case. I beg, for your "own sake, and for the sake of the American people, and for the sake of gen­ erations yet unborn, that vou let this case alone. You cannot afford to touch it Let your ver­ dict be that it was Deity's act, not mine.

The feeling was intense, and at tho close of the examination a Oommitteg4>f Safety foroed its way into the court-room, and, overpowering the officers, took the prisoners. Sullivan and Howard were takon a short distance and hanged. Their bodies were loft suspended, and a crowd numbering 4> 0 then proceeded to the county jail, and, overpowering the guards and breaking down the doors of a cell, took out Benjamin Payne, who was confined for the murder of Po ice-Oftioer Sears. He was taken to the place *vhere the bodies of Sullivan and Howard were suspended, and hanged. The bodiesjwere left banging some time, and then given over to the Coroner.

Woman's Oregg* Under the head of " Hints, Questions and Experiences," Beecher's Christian Union remarks: Few subjects have been more fre­ quently discussed than the healthful dressing of women. Where the weight of the clothes should come ia at last de­ cided without question. But how few, even of those who admit that the weight of the clothing should come on the shoulders, wear their clothing of a pat­ tern that makes it possible. Every year witnesses greater improvements in the undergarments made for women, but few avail themselves of the relief and comfort to be gained by their use. Look at the young girls on our streets, with waists so compressed that no artist, or any other person with a full realiza­ tion of the true beauty of the female form, could behold without a feeling of impatience if not disgust. How many of those girls when they compress their waists in this unnatural manner* know that they entirely destroy their freedom of walking; and that, while they appear to themselves to have freedom of motion, to others, who watch them, they present A very comical combination of freedom and stiffness ? The nppejr part of the body being in a vice is perfectly stiff from the waist up. The shoulders are held in pos.tion far above where they should be, and the elbows are at sharp angles two or threa inches behind the line of the shoulders. Loss of grace is not the only penalty paid. Many girls destroy good voices by this vicious man- • ner of dressing. The waist being so unnaturally compressed, it is impos­ sible to breathe from the right place. To test this for yourself, place your hand on your chest and take breath from below the belt, and nnt( the sylla­ ble, La. Then Bing it breathing from the chest, where you are compelled to breathe if the clothes are worn tightly at the belt, and note the difference in the sound. Try, for a short time before rising, to breathe from below the belt without moving the chest. In short, try all the time to breathe as low down as possible, and watch how the hard, disagreeable head tones--for which American women are famous--will dis­ appear. You will sing without half the effort, you will be able to walk without "getting out of breath" and lose alto­ gether the tired feeling from the chest that so many complain of when wafking. Thitf can be tried by all. It is not for the young alone. Many of the fretful, nervous women can hold their imperfect breathing responsible for much of their fretfuluess and nervousness. Think of - it when sewing, and breathe below the belt. At first, it will seem hard, but if persisted in will finally become as it should have been from the beginning, nature itself. Watch your husband and brother, and you will see their chests make no perceptible movement when breathing, because they breathe natur­ ally. They have not worn their clothing so tightly belted that lungs and other organs of the body have been deprived of room for growth. Peculiar Weddings.

James A. | Wilmot, a farmer in good circumstances, was j rendered temporarily insane by brooding over a debt of $400 which he owed to a neighbor. His insanity assumed the homicidal type, and culminated in the wholesale slaughter of the members of his family. Getting oul j of bed during the night, the maniac ! sought an ax, and with this1; weapon slew his • aged mother, his wife and two daughters, and ! wound up by hanging himself in his barn.

The deadly blows had evidently been dealt while the victims were sleeping. Horrible Fate of a Missouri Family. A dispatch from Clinton, Mo., says the house of George C. Smith, at Lewis, five miles north of there, burned at 3 o'clock in tho morning, and five of the inmates perished, viz.: Eliza­ beth Smith, aged 17 ; Rachel, aged 13; Ellen, aged 6; Theodore, aged 16, and the mother, aged 43. The fire is supposed to have started from clothing hanging by the kitchen stove, or from a coal-oil explosion. Mrs. Smith was first to awaken, when she aroused her husband, who made his esoape with the little girl of a neighbor who was staying there for the night, and one of his own daugh­ ters, aged about 8. Smith and bis daughter were seriously burned. The house was a story and a half, and the family were all sleeping in the second story. A Mr. White, who was the suitor of Elizabeth Smit% was at the house until after 1 o'clock, and thinks the lire caught in the kitchen from clothing by the stove. Miss Smith was to have been married in a few weeks. An inquest was held, aad a verdict rendered in accordance with the facts. Mr. Smith was em­ ployed by the Osage Coal and Mining Company. A STORY is told of a member of a cer­ tain theological seminary who was so sensitive as to any suspicion of plagiar­ ism that he never allowed himself to make the slightest quotation without giving an authority. On one occasion he commenced grace at breakfast thus : " Lord, we thank Thee that we have awakened from the sleep which a writer in the Edinburgh JteWeurhasoalled 'the image of death.'" The Death Penalty. Any man who kills another by acci­ dent, without intention to harm him, must be killed. No matter what be the extenuating circumstances of any kill­ ing, no man or government is authorized i to pardon, but the strict law must be fulfilled in every case, and in all cir­ cumstances ; the soldier who kills an­ other in war must die,; the insane man who sheds blood, and the man who iD self-defense kill his assailant, forfeit their lives, etc., etc. Do you object and say, "*'Oh, no; we must construe the command, not as it was construed then, but us the circumstances of our day and our light demand ?" Exactly ; well, wt will meet you on that ground, and cheer­ fully give the supposed command all tli€ weight in present legislation which wt think it ought to have. Do you remind ns that Moses allowed one who had shed blood accidently, or without malice, tc llee to a city of refuge--and as long ai he stayed there the " avenger" could not harm him ? Very true. Moses then felt justified in making exceptions tc this command, if it were such, after th« lapse of a thousand years, and whei change of condition and established gov ernment, and improved civilization, al­ lowed it.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer gives the following reminis­ cence of Buchanan and Forney : " The old Penn8ylvanian, at Philadelphia, when edited by John W. Forney, was always considered the personal organ of Mr. Buchanan. Forney was poor and extravagant, and, as his paper was prin­ cipally .supported by politicians, he was always hard up for money, and was a standing pensioner upon the bounty of his political friends. He was constantly borrowing money--l>orrowirig from Peter to pay Paul. In the year the wri­ ter hereof, then editor of the Pittsburgh Morning Post, on his way to Philadel­ phia stopped off by invitation of Mr. Buchanan to visit him at his Wheatland home, near Lancaster. One day, in opening and reading his large mail, he spoke out and said : ' Here is the same old story : Forney is again in financial me letter lrom Franklin Broillar, of Ovroll, Mo. : "I have just heard the news.
