By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, December 4. After the adjournment of the Republican caucus,last evening, the Democratic membehs assem bled in the same hall, and .organfzed then: caucus for the ensuing Congress by re elect ing Representative House, of Tenn., Chair man, and Messrs. Frost, of Me. , and Wil burn, of Texas Secretaries. Representative Proctor Knott, of Kv., then offered a resolution endorsing the de clarations of the Democratic National Com mittees of 1876 and 1880, the supposed ob ject being to put the Democratic members on record in favor of a plank endorsing a tariff for revenue only, which, if it did not Erevent the complimentary nomination of peaker Randall, would serve as a rebuke. The resolution was supported by Repre sentatives Knott, of Ky., and Reagan, of Texas, and opposed by Representatives Hammond, of Ga.. McLain, of Md., Hook er, of Miss., and Herbert, of Ala. Representative Hooker moved to indefi nitely postpone the consideration of the resolution, and his motion was carried-r-ayes 53, noes 44. Representative Kenna, of West Va.,then moved that the caucus endorse and put in nomination as the candidates of the Demo crats all of the officers of the last House, and the motion was carried vita voce, with out dissent. The caucus then adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. At the close of the Guiteau trial yester day Mr. Scoville said he had issued a sub poena for President Arthur, but he did not care to have him summoned until he had seen him personally, and had instructed Marshal Henry to that effect. The Comptroller of the Currency, in his annual report to the Secretary of the Treas ury, made public to-day, says eighty-six National Banks were organized during the year ending November 1st, with an aggre gate authorized capital of $9,651,050, to which $5,233,580 in circulation notes have been issued. This is the largest number of banks organized in any year since 1872. Twenty-six banks, with an aggregate capi tal of f3.020.000. have voluntarily discon tinued business during the year. There were no failures of National Banks during the period from June 19, 1880, to November 1, of the present year. National Banks are located in every State of the Union except Mississippi, and in every Territory except Arizona; the total number in operation on the 1st of October last being 2,133. lhis is the greatest number which have ever been in- ooeration at anv one time. The estimated losses to creditors from the fail ures of National Banks during the past eighteen vears since the passaee of the act. is $6,240,000, and the ave rage annual loss has therefore been about $346,000 in the business of the corporations, leaving an average capital of about s-iou, 000.000. and deposits averaging about $8,000,000. Twenty-one of these insolvent banks have paid their creditors in full and forty of them have paid more than To per cent. each. The individual liabilities of the shareholders of insolvent banks has been enforced in fifty-three instances, and about $2,700,000 has been collected from tnis source. After presenting .the usual com parative tables showing the past and present condition of the .National lianks tne comp troller discusses the question of the expira tion or cnarters ot toe Danics, ana recom mends that an act be passed during the present session authorizing any National Bank, with the approval of the Comptrol ler, at anv time within two vears prior to the date of expiration of its corporate ex istence, to extend its period of succession for twenty years, by amending its articles of association. The Comptroller then said that the increase of National Bank notes, during the year ended November 1st last, was $16,510,143. This, together with the increase of gold coin, $108,686,279 and of silver coin $27,716,454, makes a total increase of coin and bank notes of $152,912, 876. Under this head of private bankers the Comptroller reports that there are in the Lnited States and territories 6,038 private bankers, with an aggregate control of ninety-three millions and aggregate depos its of two hundred and forty-one millions. The report closes with a series of tables, showing the'amount of the interest bearing funded debt of the Lnited estates, the amount held by National banks, and tables of National and State taxation. Lpon the subject of taxation the Comptroller says the amount paid by the National Banks to the Treasurer of the United States for taxes on capital and deposits, during the year ended June 30 last, was $o, 472,1 add the amount paid by banks other-than National to the Commissioner of Internal Revenue was $3,757,912. The value of two cent check stamps issued during the fiscal year was 2,366,801. Total amount of bank taxes which it is recommended should be abated was $11,496,171, which amount is much less than the annual increase of the Internal Revenue during the past two years. The reason that has during the past been urged against the repeal of these laws, namely, that the amount produced was necessary for the support of government and for the payment of the publiciebt, has long since lost its force, and the repeal of these laws has already been recommended both by the Secretary of the Treasury and tne commissioner ot internal Kevenue. The report of the Department of Justice is given to the public. It recommends the abolition of fees to U. S. District Attorneys ana assistants, and placing them on sal aries. Estimates for expenses of United States Courts for the fiscal year ending lsea, are three million hve thousand dollars. Ihe report recommends an appropriation for the payment of special deputy mar shals at last year's elections. FOREIGN. Accident to an Anchor Line Steamer Bound Tor New.

By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, December 5. Guiteau was brought to- the court house a litttle later than usual, and the Court was not opened until 11 o'clock. An immense crowd had gathered on the sidewalk and when Guiteau alighted from the van he evinced unusual trepidation and begged the otneers 10 iaKe him around' to the back entrance. He was assured that the escort was ample for his safety, and with trembling steps and swing ing gait he quickly shuffled through the angry crowd. Abject fear was tiepictea upon his sallow countenance, and it was several minutes after he reached his room before he regained his usual composure. . 1 11 1 2 .Eix-speaKer itanaau appeareu in uuswer to the subpoena, but was at loss to know why he had been summoned. immediately atter -tne opening oi me Court Mr. Scoville called to the stand Dr. James Kennon, of Chicago. Before anv Question could be asted wit ness, Guiteau desired to address the Court, and without waiting for assent or dissent on the part of the Court said, in quick ner vous tones: i want inese expert wiinesc to pass upon this point, where a -man is im pelled to do an unlawful act by a power which he canstot possibly control or over rule and by which his moral agency is dom inated, is he to be considered sane or in sane r Judge Cox "We will have that question discussed:" Witness said he was managing editor or the Chicago Medical Review, and lecturer upon Mental Diseases at the Chicago Med- ical bcuoois. ne aeiivereu nut nrsi. iwmic last April, Witness replied to the hypo thetical question, predicated upon the trust worthiness of the evidence to which he had listened, that he had no doubt of the pris oner's insanity. The witness admitted that when a man committed a crime while acting under the delusion of divine inspiration and then con ducted himself precisely as a criminal would -t ... , j i . : ,n:,lnnu ao, it wouiu ue presumptive cviucutc against his insanity. Guiteau, who had been quietly but in tently following the witness, here broke in rather excitedly, saying, "Nothing of the kind in this case, Judge." Mr. Davigde "Well, we will see. Guiteau, (angrily) "You are going too fast in this matter. We want facts, not your judgment. The witness has stated one thing right; the Lord injects the inspi ration and then lets a man use his own judgment to work it out; that's just my case; that's the way I get my inspiration. The Lord don t employ fools to do his works ; he gets the best material. Mr. Davidge Then put a still stronger hypothetical case, using the term "likes a common vulgar criminal." Guiteau turned to Davidge, and with an air of immense superiority, said, "there's nothing vulgar about this case. It's all high toned. Laughter, quickly suppressed by the Court. J 1 he witness thought an insane man in carrying out an inspiration would actac cording to his peculiarities of manner and temperament, although there were types of insanity where a man s general character became changed. The witness gave a scientific name. Richard J. Hinton, editor of the Wash ington Gazette, had been present at the lie publican headquarters in New York, and had formed the opinion that the prisoner was an exceedingly illy-balanced, crazy egotist. Witness vas asked what he thought of the prisoner's speech, "Garfield vs. Hancock," and his reply was that in his opinion it was a ridiculous, disjointed affair. Guiteau, who had smiled complacently when the witness came upon the stand. here became verv much incensed, and shouted out, "Well, it wasn't any thjng of the kind, l ou don t know- what you are talking about. My speech received the en dorsement of the best men of the country.' Witness resumed by saying that the pri soner seemed to be a perfect nuisance about the rooms, but was interrupted by Guiteau, who said, iou were a nuisance yourself I'd rather be hung as a man than acquitted as a fool, and I wont have any more of this kind of evidence. Witness added, "he was a laughing stock, so far as I could see. Guiteau became greatly enraged, and. turning to Mr: Scoville, shouted, "If you put any more of these crank fellows on the stand I'll score vou again. 'Twas a irreat piece of impudence on your part to put Judge Davis on the stand without consult- ng me. Upon the hypothetical case put by Mr. Scoville, Guiteau was pronounced insane by the following physicians: Dr. Charles H. Nichols, of Bloomingdale Asylum, New York; Dr. Charles F. Folsom, Harvard Universitv; Dr. Samuel Wooster, Selma, Mass.; Dr. William Godding, St. Eliz abeth Asylum, Washington; Dr. Jas. H.

BURNETT'S COCOAINE, unlike all other HAIKDRE88INGS, is the best for pro moting the growth of and beautifying the Hair, and rendering it dark andf glossy. The Cocoatne holds, in a liquid form, a large proportion of deodorized Cocoanut Oil, prepared expressly for this purpose. No other compound possesses the peculiar properties which so exactly suit the various conditions of the human hair. The superiority of Burnett's Flavor ing Extracts consists in their perfect pu rity and great strength. MARINE. Port Almanac December 6. Sun Rises 6.57 A.M. Sun Sets 4.46 P. M.
