American Summary.

San Francisco, Novembar 19,

Gulteau's trial, for assassination of Presi dent Garfield, commenced at th.3 Criminal Conrt, Washington, on the 14th. Court room crowded. District Attorney Cork* hill, Porter (of New York), and Davidge (of Washington), for the prosecution; Seville (prisoner's brother •in - law) and Leight Robinson for the defenoe. Prisoner was seated beside his sister (Mrs Seville) and free from irons. He looked well, physi cally. There was great difficulty in obtain ing a jury, because of the generally fixed opinion in regard to the prisoner's act. Guiteau wished to deliver a speech to the Court, but was suppressed by his counsel, Seville, and became very angry in con sequence. He handed the M.S. to a news paper man, from whom his counsel instantly reclaimed it. The (one of the speech was understood to be that he had no ill-feeling towards General Garfield, whom he considered a weak man, but that his duty to the Lord and to the American people required him to be the instrument of the President's removal. Afterwards he became quite excited against one of his counsel, Robinson, whom he ordered in a peremptory manner to withdraw from the case, as he had taken liberty of action without consulting Seville or him self. His general behaviour gave the im pression that ho was acting ao as to back up and strengthen his plea of insanity. The prisoner has issued the following state ment:—"To the Legal Profession of America: I am on trial for my life. I formerly practised law in New York and Chicago, and I purpose to take an active part in my defence, as 1 know more about ray inspiration and views in the case than anyone else does. My brother-in-law, George Seville, ib my only counsel, and 1 hereby appeal to the legal profession of America for aid. I expect to have money shortly, so I can pay them. I shall get it partly from the settlement of an old matter in New York, and partly from the sale of my book, and partly from public contribu tions to my defence; my defence was published in the New York " Herald," on October 6th, and my speech. Any well known lawyer of criminal capacity, desir ing to assist in my defence, will please telegraph without delay to George Seville, Washington, i).C. If for any reason his application be refused, his name will be witheld from tno public.

(Signed) CHARLES GuiTKAU. In Court, at Washington, D.C., Novem ber ICth, 1881." The jury was secured with considerable trouble. The attendance was very large, of ladies especially, and the crowd manifested hostility to the prisoner us he entered and left the Court-room. The evidence elicited so far is mainly matter already published in connection with tbe crime. A report wai circulated that Guiteau bad an accomplice, and that he had been arrested on the 17th, near Chicago, but this proved a canard.

On the 19th, when the van in which the prisoner was tiding from the Court-room back to the gaol had reached the vicinity of the capitol, a man, riding a powerful white horse, came np and fired two shots, one of which just grazed Guiteau's wrist, inflicting a mere scratch. He was taken out in a state of great excitement, exclaiming, " I hare been shot. Notify Major Brook at once ; tell him to arrest the scoundrel, and have him dealt with as ho deserve?." The would-be avenger was afterwards captured near a piece of wood in the suburbs. His name is William Jones, and i* is reported he is another member of the now alarmingly numerous family of "cranks"—as crazy men are tersely called. A conviction is growing that Guiteau may escape through legal technicality, and, as a consequence, there is a daily-growing crowd around the Court-houso and the gaol, and the prisoner is hailed with shouts and yells of derision, mingled with imprecations. Many in the crowd are armed. Guiteau ia thoroughly f tightened, and bounds into the prison van as though pursued. Tho Hon. Lionel Sackville West, the new British Minister, was presented to President Arthur on the 14th. A National Tariff Convention is (o be held in New York on the 29th and 30th of this month. It is creating great interest throughout the country. More than 450 delegates have already been elected. It is estimated that the representatives of more than §100,000,000 of capital invested in manufactures, will be present, while the mechanical, labour, and farming interests will be equally well represented. The Industrial League, convened in Chicago on tho 15th, says the objects of the convention are purification of the public service, restoration of the national flag on the ocean, advancement of the interests of the shipbuilding industry, regaining America's lost place in the carrying trade, discussing reduction o! taxes, &c. It ia said a subsidy will be asked from Congress by Millard and others in aid of a line of steamera on the Pacific, competing with the Pacific Mail between California and Panama, and with the Pacific Naviga tion Company between Panama, Callao, and Valparaiso. The experiments with Captain Encc3on s torpedo boat, the Destroyer, have been eminently successful. The novel feature of the boat is a submerged gun, which dis charges a torpedo with unerring certainty ' through the water 400 feet in three seconds with 12Ibs. of powder. The French delegation to the Yorktown celebration propose to visit California to look into die wine interests. The New York "Times" sets its face against further Arctic explorations at the expense of the Government. Rewards offered to ambitious whale-men would accomplish much more than the united efforts of England and America can accom plish in this respect. Prominent New Yorkers have revived the project of a World's Fair in that city in 1883. Bl'aine, Secretary of State, has made a report to the United States Senate in re gard to the De Lesseps canal enterprise at Panama, in which he distinctly and torcibly enunciates the Monroe doctrine, and that a joint guarantee of the neutrality of the canal by European Powers cannot be per mitted. , , ~ At Cleveland, Ohio, Cowlea, of the " Leader," lately sued Scripps, of the " Press," lor libel. Notwithstanding the evidence was all in the former's favour, the jury found for Scripps. This so intenced the Judge, Tilden, that in a personal letter to C»wles he apologised for the jury's find ing. It is accounted a novel proceeding. Edwin D. Morgan, of New York, de clined President Arthur's nomination as Secretary of the Treasury, and it was offered to and accepted by Judge Folger, of New 'York. Morgan is seTenty years of Henry Ward Beecher has retired from the management of the " Christian Union..

Seven teen persons were drowned. The recent voyage of the ship McMillan, from Antwerp to San Diego, California, via the Cape of Good Hope, has given rise to a good deal of discussion. The general con clusion appears to be that, for a winter passage, it is preferable, although longer, than the route around the Horn. The water supply is much discussed in the cities of Boston and New York at pre sent. In the former the Cqchituate is tainted with vegetable impurities so as to be unfit for drink. In the latter, the Croton supply has run so low that recouiee is being had to the old and long-disused wells in some parts of the city. Hanlan demands of Triclcett 2,000d01s as a condition of rowing him for l.OOOdols a side, in St. Louis. It isregarded asa bluff.

A teititle fight took place in Tombstone, Arizona, on the 261b, between a Marshal's

Three of the cowboys were laid out cold, and several of the posae were wounded. The Mechanics' Bank of Newark, one of the oldest and supposed strongest in New Jersey, has closed its doors, owing to the defalcations of the cashier, Oscar L. Bald win. He had fraudulently used $2,000,000 of the Bank's funds.

A man named Woling, alias Dr Noct ling, was arrested at the White House, Washington, on the 31st, armed with a seven-barrelled revolver, and was evidently bent on shooting somebody. He presented the following letter:—"John Woling,— You are hereby informed- that Dr John Noctling is lawfully elected President of the United States, and occupies the White House every day. — (Signed) Almicmty God (commanded by Holy Spirit)." This proved he was a "crank"—as newspaper reporters call insane men, —and he was ac cordingly taken care of. London orders for Confederate bonds in New "Xork were suddenly withdrawn on the 31st; at the same time an order for §1,000,000 of this doubtful paper was re ceived in Washington.

The Liquor Dealers' Union have oll'ered a reward of $500, the Good Templars $200, and the Governor §200, for discovery of the murderer. A great many threatening letters were found on the person of decoased. A remarkable Cabinet meeting is re ported in the Washington "Star." Every member was present. The Presi dent said they had been called together to consider the question of the prosecution of Guiteau ; that from facts patent to him, he believed the Government entirely unpre pared for the case. Saying this, ho brought his clenched fist down on the table with con siderable force, and added that he thought it preeminently disgraceful if the Government should confess itself prepared to go on, as in the Star Koute cases. He appealed di rectly to McVcagh, the Attorney-General, who sniil he did not consider it any part of his business to give attention to criminal trials, and that he had been told so by Judge Jeremiah Black. This led to a war of words between the President and the law officer. If was an augry scene, and at the close the President remarked that the Attorney- General's knowledge of law would be greatly improved by reading the statutos of the United States, which define the duties of his office. McVeagh retired from the Cabinet on the 14th.

SENDING THREATENING LETTERS.

CHARGES AGAINST PLUMMEU,

The cibc was proceeded with after we went to prew yesterday :—

William Moore, a boy about 10 years of age, deposed that when with his Bister in Karangahape-road, a man asked him to take a letter to Mro Dobson's. It wai on Sa turday, about a quarter to 8 in the evening. Witness and his sister were then going to Mr Garrett's, the butcher's. The man asked him if he wanted to earn a shilling, and witness said yes, He then askod him if he would carry a parcel for him and he said yes. The man took out bis watch and eaid it would take about 10 minutes. Witness wai then walking along towards Upper IQueon-street, and wm accompanied that tar by the man. Previous to this the man had given him a letter, which he took out of his pocket, and directed him to deliver it at the house which he pointed out, pointing towards Major Withers1! house. He told him to go there and en quire for Mrs Dobson. The man said he was going orer to see a friend in Wakefield street, and told witness to meet him at the lamp-post, Karangahape-road. Witness went to Major Withcrs's place and saw the major himself. He inquired for Mrs Dobson, and Major Withers directed him to her place, which he found, and he gave the letter to a young lady, Miss Annie Dobsou. Witness was detained till Jeffrey and Jones came, and they took him to the lamp-post opposite the Naval Hotel. The man was not there, He had seen the man since in Howo-strect ou the Thursday followin2,and afterwards in Symonds-street, near Mr Heape'e, corner of Symonds-Btr«et and Kaat-strect. Witness looked closely at him, and prisoner went away down East street. Witness ran back and told Detec tive Jones, but Jones wasn't there whon witness got back. Witness next saw tho man near Mr Walker's buildings. He had then on moleskin trousers, a grey coat, and white boots, similar to those prisoner o wore now.

Mrs Esam deposed that she resided in Parnoll, and was daughter of Mrs Dobson, On October Ist she was at her mother's place in the evening, when the letter was brought by the boy—tho last witness. She went to the police station, and on her return she noticed a man near her mother's residence •walking very slowly, He turned on his heel and looked at her with a peculiar inso lent smile. She identified tho prisoner as the man. She had identified him at the police station, when several others were with him. Mr] Mahon was also examined, and tho Court adjourned. THIS DAY,

Frederick Plammer was charged before Mr J, E. Macdonald, Resident Magistrate, this morning, with having sent a letter con. tainlng threats ot personal violence and demanding money to Mrs Ann Dobson, widow, of Upppr Queen-street. Mr Fardy condnoted tho proseoution. Bartholomew Lloyd O'Brien, governor of the Auckland gaol, was called.and repeated the evidence given in the former cose. The six letters produced were ia band* writing similar to Plummer's. ■\VUliam Stone Pardy, senior sergpant of police, stationed at Auckland, was ne^t examined. Be put in a letter marked G. which he fountf in pris oner's house, on the morning qf the arrest, November ?3rd. It was from Mr J.. Wil? lianri in reference to the intended purchase of the house by prisoner. He also put in foolscap paper, found at the same time and at the same place, and white blotting paper, which had apparently been used far blotting muaic. Also, a piece of blue blotting psper, on which were blotted two separate addresses, '!Mrs Dobson, Upper Queen-strept, Auckland," The writing could be seen easily with the naked eyo, and was read with the aid of a glass. The blotting paper was found with the foolscap. None but the prisoner lived in the house from whiph these thjngs were takpu. Constable Bernard deposed th,at he was with Mr Pardy at the time of prisoner's ar rest. (Remembered seeing him examining blotting and other paper in the house. Wit ness took charge of the articles, and handed them over to Mr Pardy at the police station afterwards. The blotting paper produced was the same. ' Joseph Williams, tailqr, Victoria-street, Auckland, repeated the evidence given by him in the previous case in referenoo to the ofl'er made by Plnmmer to purphase the house. He identified the letter, Mrs May Hastings also repeated her evi dence . concerning the music-book which prisoner left at her boarding-house. Constable Strathearn was examined, and gave evidence similar to that given by him on Friday last, John Diedrich Schmidt deposed that he was a lithographer and engraver in Auck land. He had been in the business 26 years. It was part of his business to imitate various handwriting?, and thathad given him a gpod knowledge of various handwritings. He had, examined the letter marked I, The whole of it was disguised, but the latter part not so much so as the beoinning. He had also examined the letters Q an 43, whigb ha Relieved, were alga, in a disguised Wad, 411 tlirco had beou written by the same person. He had care fully compared those three lexers ma^ed. I and H,, the music book, and the manu script music, He had no doubt but that they were all written by the same person, The envelope ol No, 8 bore tho same floral design on the tip of the envelope, as the envelopes B, C, and B, and they must all have been embosied from the game stamp. The quality and make were also the same. Letter B was addressod to Dr and Mrs Philson, letters B and 0 to Dr Philson, and lotter Bto Mrg Dobson. The foolsoap paper found in the houso wa» the same size and quality, bore the same ribs, and had been ruled similarly to that on which threatening letters to Mrs Dobson were written. The white blotting paper seemed to have been used for music, He had examined the blue blotting paper, and

I found that it bore the exact blot of the 1 envelope addressed to Mrs Dobson and marked 1, Ho had compared them very carefully, and was qnitu positive on the poiut. He also saw the blot, apparently of a letter to Mr Danaher, because he saw the word " Danaher." He could also see the werd " cutting " very plainly. On the other Bide he could see the blot of a letter addressed to " Mrs Dobson, Upper Qaeen street, Auckland," but neither of the en velopes fitted with it. To Prisoner : He believed it would be impossible for anyone to make an exact blot of an address on aletter on a sheet of blotting* paper. It could only be done by great good luck. The prisoner said he had made the attempt this morning, and he was convinced that the transfer could be made to perfection. The Court then adjourned for lunch.and resumed again at the nsual time.

Mr Danaher, one of the witnesses, was not present, and after waiting some time, Mr Pardy said he would close the case for the prosecution with the evidence already before the Court.

The depositions were then read over to the prisoner.

Prisoner wished to call Misses Dobson, Mn Ehiiui, and the boy Moore, but they were not present. Mr Pardy said prisoner was endeavouring to give the police all the trouble that he possibly could. If he had expressed any intention to call those witnesses he would have had them detained, as they were all present this morning. The further hearing of this charge was then adjourned till Friday next, in order that they might be present.

THE CHARGES OF BURGLARY.

Frederick Pluramer, the same prisoner, was then charged that he did, on or about the 21st day of June, 1881, feloniously break, and enter tho dwelling-houso of Thomas Hazel, situated in Syraonds-street, Auckland, and feloniously steal therefrom —one pair of boots, of the value of 18s; 10a in money, and one drawer, of the value of ss, the goods and chattels of tho said Thomas Hazel.

Mr Parity, iv opening tho case for tho prosecution, said there was no doubt that the offence was one of burglary, but as they could not prove the hours, they would charge him with house-breaking. On tho night of Juno two houses in Symondß street were broken into in an exactly similar way, viz., by forcing back the catch of a rear window and then lifting it up. The shop of Haze), fruiterer, was one ot these. When he went to bed on Sunday night about 9 p.m., the doors and windows were nil secured, and the robbery was committed unknown to him before the next morning, There was a till in the shop, containing from tea to twelve shillings worih of coppers. Mr Hazell had also in the house a pair of new boots, which he had taken oil on Sunday evening in the sitting-room, and' left near the fireplace. On rising about seven o'clock next morning, he went into the shop to the till, when he discovered that the till and contents were goce. The boots had also disappeared. Mr Heath's drawer, with about £4 in coin, was also stolen. The police found that on tho following morn ing, the pjisoner purchased goods in Pitt street, and tendered 10s ln coppers, and the bdlauce in ilorins. Part of the money stolen from Heaths was in florins. In the prisoner's house, he found two pairs of boots, on of which Mr Hazell identi fied as his. Be knew them by the mark of a stable-fork prong, which had been caused while he was working in the stable. Mr Heath would prove that he made the boots for Mr Hazell. (Left sitting.)

The English Fress on Parihaka Difficulty..

The chief topic of discussion in colonial circles since our last has been the threatened war in New Zealand. When the news was telegraphed that the Government had ac cepted the services of 300 volunteers, and that preparations were been made to convey them to the disturbed district, a good many people here looked upon the situation as ominous, and fears were entertained in some quarters lest another native war should retard the progress of the colony for years to cornc. Of course it ia everywhere admitted that rebellion must be put down with a strong hand, but it is hoped that Sir Arthur will leave no stone unturned to bring about a peaceful settlement of tho dispute, and that To Whiti and his councillors will listen to reason. A good many of the home papers have printed leading articles on the subject, and much has been said, by those who evi dently know vory little about the cause of the dispute, of " the high-handed manner " in which the Maoris iiave been dealt with by the colonists. Tho "Times" cannot but hope that much forbearance will bo shown, and that native prejudice, and evon native fanatioism, will be rospectod as far as they can be respected without unduly impeding the progress of a higher civiliza tioD. " The Maori" our contemporary goes on to observe, " like every otlier pri mitive race, is doomod to gradual extinc tion beforp the march of races whose right to exist and prevail is so indefeasible in itself that it does notr need to be enforced by injustice, greed, or oppression. The Maori knows this himself, and his pathotio acknowledgment of defeat is part of tho tragedy of human nature But though the result is inevitable, it ia our manifest duty to see that the process is kindly and just. It has not always been SO in the past, and this is why, -when wo hoar of Maori discontent, the suspicion suggests it self of high-handed dealings on the part of the Colonial Government. The .real solu tion of tho native difficulty, says our cor respondent, is to be found in the progressive occupation of waste lands by European cojonists. Thjs is, no, d^oubt, true, but the process is one which easily begets abusp and injustioe, as is Bhown in, many q, painl! ful history of colonial and native wars.' TERRIBLE RAILWAY ACCIDENT JtEAR LEICESTER.

A shocking accident befell the Barton and Leicester express on the Midland. Kail way, at Deslord, near Leicester, on October 22. At the siding a cojil train was Bound ing, and, the points, being open, the ex-. pres,9 camp dashing ahead, t|ie signals being clear; and before the driver saw the mistake that had peenmadeby the points rpan an awful collision ocputred, and the passenger train was wrecked. The train running at about 5Q miles an boar, the force of the collision was very great, and three lady passengers were thrown forward with such violence that their necks were broken, and they were killed on the spot. The engine and tender were raised in the air, riding over sixwaggons, dashing them to pieces, and finally rolling over on one side; the |driyer and the fireman were thrown qn the ground, and discovered with boiling water flowing over them, the flesh coming oil heir banes.
