' . TWO PREIiATES.
Sundav was a memorable day for;
Wilmington. The installation of :
Bishop Northrop aud the sermons
make it a notable day in tbe history,
of our little! city, i The report of the
services appears in the local columns, i
We wish to confine our own pen to,
the two discourses, That man of wit
and observation, Sydney Smith, said

Swell written sermons, but they stood;

pome years . since are beauty and
Ichastity. He presented on Sunday a
striking picture of the progress of
I Christianity from its inception until
now. He showed in very choice!
language and by apt j illustration its
progress, it s persecutions and its , tri-j
nmphs. He claimed that the success
of Christianity was in itself a stu-j
pendous miracle. 1 Iniolemn,earnestJ
persuasive tones, and with charming
and flowing J diction,' beautified
thought and graceful gesticulation,'
he held his audience in earnest and
pleased attention jthroughout.
. ' At night- Bishop Keane, of Rich
jnond, delivered a sermon of extra
ordinary force, clearness, persvasive-
ness ana - interest. xiiKe me jrvu
bishop' he stood without anything be
fore him, and in commanding atti
tude and with utmost ease of man
ner poured, forth as from a very cor
nucopia ' of reflection! and eloquence
-one of the . most- remarkable dis
courses we have ever heard." It was
very masterly as to arrangement, style
and elocution. It was . compactly,
artistically! built, -and the plan allow
ed the severest consecutive thinking,
each proposition being linked closely
to the preceding proposition and all
forming i, chain . of logic at once
beautif ul, imposing and highly pol
ished, i Voice,1 t presence, manner,
thought, diction were all in harmony.
It was a very grand discussion bf
what constitutes the religion of
Christ. The Archbishop had shown
the Church gradually growing and
spreading and conquering. , . The
Bishop showed' the inner-life took
you within . the temple ; and ' made
plain to you what were . the princi
ples, power, provinces and fruitions
of that religion which Christ perf ect-
ed and deified.
No one ; of ordinary
intelligence , who, heard ? that great
discussion,' so warm, so beautiful, so
replete with felicities, so robust, so
logical, so full of the very marrow of
: the Gospel, so; i evangelical, so , deco
rous, so earnestjSO impressive, so elo
quent, will ever forget its impression
at the time. J3aid that great Catholic
orator," Fenelon, "I would have
every minister of the Gospel address
his audience with the zeal of a
friend, with thp generous energy of
a father, and with the exuberant
affection of a mother.'' There was
much of this in the two sermons of
Sunday jby the; two eminent prelates
who discoursed to the people. ;

) A very hideous crime occurred a
few days ago in Indiana. A well-
to-do and highly respectable farmer
was murdered' in his own house.
His
name was John M. Walton.
It turns
out that he was shot by a negro.
who
;was employed by a neighbor, O. M.
Garrett, a man of means also,
who
for years "had been having ! clandes
tine meetings V. with Mrs. Walton,
She was party to the killing, having
got her husband seated at. a certain
window so' he - might be shot. It
appears that a son of Mrs. Walton,
in love with 1 the daughter of Mr.
Garrett, was made one of the -go-
betweens, and has been paid .hun
dreds of dollars for his services. He
says he has carried hundreds of notes
between lns mother and her para
mour. . A servant 'in r the .Walton
family was - believed ? to know too
imuch of the intimacy and two years
ago she was mysteriously burned to
death by falling in. the . fire-place.
There are hints now that this death
has a connection with the present
crime. Altogether it is one of the
most horrible crimes on record,

Highway Robbery. , i
Two young white boys, while out gun
ning yesterday afternoon in the neighbor
hood 4 of McHhenny's mill pond; , were
stopped by a negro man, who engaged
them in 'conversation and asked to sec one
of their guns.. The gun, a double-barrel
breech-loader, was shown him, and he in
quired as to the cost, make, etc., and finally
told the young, sportsmen to give him the
other one also. ; This was refused, where-
"upon he threatened to shoot them if they
did not, and this producing no effect, he
grabbed the other gun, and though the
youngster who held it struggled violently, j
the negro finally succeeded in wrenching it
out of : his hands' and made off with them
both. The boys being powerless to prevent
his escape returned to town, and ' reported
the facts to the Chief of Police. One of
the guns; as before mentioned, was adou-
ble barrel . breech-loader, and the other a
single barrel. . The negro was of a ginger

and had on a brown overcoat and a cap.

Night, See.
Sunday was a grand day in the history of
Catholicity in North . Carolina, , and the
members of that religious denomination in
our midst, together with many Catholics
from the section of- country adjoining the
city, .'were present in large numbers at the
interesting ceremonies that took place at
St, Thomas' Catholic Church, the occasion
being the' installation of Right Rev. H.
Pinckney Northrop, the newly consecrated
Bishop into the Vicariate - of North Caro
linaL The announcement having been made
that the public were ; invited, : the conse
quence was that the edifice' was thronged
on the occasion ' with interested listeners!
The ceremonies commenced at half-past 10
o'clock A. M. , by a procession from the rear
part of the church through the adjacent en
closure to the front door of the building,
thence down the main isle to the altar.' The
procession was composed of St. Aloysious'
Sodality, in regalia, and the Young Catlio-
i A- . . a:.- . a
ac Jrienu y. uecorateu wuu uauges
of purple silk, representing the colors worn
by a Catholic Bishop. Bringing up the
rear of the procession were the cross-bearer,
acolytes, the Archbishop bf Baltimore, Rt.
Rev. . James Gibbons, Bishop . Keane, of
Richmond, . and the newly consecrated
Bishop, all arrayed in full canonicals, and
the latter bearing the crosier, the staff or
symbol of his' high office. These were fol
lowed in turn by several of the reverend
clergy who were to assist in the ceremonies
about to take place. Upon the arrival of
the procession at the altar, the Most Rev
erend, Right Reverend, and ReVtrend
clergy took their places within the
sanctuary, - when' Pontifical High Mass
was celebrated, Bishop H. P. Northrop be
ing the celebrant; Very Rev. M. S. Gross,
Deacon; Rev.J P. Moore,- Sub-Deacon; Rev.
Dr. Quigley, Assistant Priest; Revs. J. J.
Reilly and Claudian Northrop, Deacons of
Honor, and Rev. J. B. "Wright, Master of
Ceremonies; , the Most Rev. Archbishop
Gibbons and Right Rev. Bishop Keane oc
cupying seats on the right hand side of the
sanctuary. The choir then rendered Far
mer's Mass. .
The ceremonies were peculiarly imposing
and grand, and well suited to such an im
portant occasion. , The beautiful i marble
altar was appropriately' decorated and bril
liantly illuminated by many lights from the
numerous candles.
The installation sermon was preached by
the Most Reverend Archbishop, the text
being taken from the 4th chapter of the
Acts of the Apostles. The high reputation
of the Archbishop for learning, ability and
oratory had led the congregation to expect
a discourse of more than usual power and
eloquence. Suffice it to say, they were not
disappointed. The Most Reverend prelate
discoursed at length upon the trials, vicissi
tudes and ever-recurring successes of the
Church,' citing as one evidence of the latter
the present occasion. He referred in feel
ing terms to his former connection with the
Vicarate, : having been installed thirteen
years ago as Bishop of North Carolina.
He spoke in high terms of the congrega
tion, and laid much' stress upon the faith
fulness and loyalty of the people , among
whom he had first labored as a Bishop. - He
took occasion to speak mostcomplimentary
of . one . whom he . termed ; as most
dear to him, his great benevolence of heart,
zeafand faithfulness, and whose humility
had 'deterred him from accepting the
mitre, (alluding to Rev. Father Gross.) He
closed his very able discourse with a touch
ingjref erence to thenew Bishop, introducing
him to the congregation, commending him
for the many qualities he possessed for the,
high and responsible position he had been
called upon, throughthe providence of God
to fill. . .
At the close of the mass Bishop Northrop
made a few remarks, in which, with much
emotion, he alluded to the dignity which
had been conferred upon him without his
seeking." .; : l ';-:U:K'.':;
: The ceremonies lasted from 1U30 A. M.
until 1 - P. M., ; and were witnessed by a
large concourse of people, the church being
crowded to its utmost capacity. - . .
' ' THE MUSIC. ;
We cannot permit this occasion to pass
without some reference to the music ren
dered by the excellent choir, composed of
Mrs. J. G. Bauman, organist : Miss Susie:
Reilly, soprano ; Mrs. J. Watters, tenor to
the mass ; Miss Katie Reilly, alto ; Mr. R.i
H. Grant, basso, and Mr. J. W. , Reilly
tenor. Mrs; Watters' offertory, a solo, was
exceedingly well rendered, while the deep
basso of Mr. Grant elicited equal admira
tion. ' -'
THE KEW BISP, . ; !
; Bishop Northrop is the son of the late C. '
B. Northrop, an eminent lawyer of the
Charleston Bar. He was born in that citvj
and is in. his fortieth year. ' His early edu
cation was acquired at Georgetown Col
lege, whence he went to Mount St. Mary's
College,,, at - Emmettsburg, where he was
graduated. After his graduation he entered
the theological seminary at the college. In
1864 he went to Rome, where he studied at
the American College. ; He was ordained
priest in lome in 18C5, and Would ;have
remained there longer but was called home
shortly after-Ms ordination by the death' of
his father, On his arrival in Charleston
from Rome he was sent to supply the place
ofJDr, Corcoran, in this city ; so he is not
altogether a stranger to a portion, at least,
of ; the people of Wilmington. Subse
quently he was appointed pastor of the
church at Newbern, North Carolina, to
which church were attached several mis
sonsf . Jorth1 Carolina, .' which had until
then been, attached to the dioceseof Charles
ton, was at that time made a separate vica
riate the present Archbishop Gibbons, of
Baltimore, being its first Bishop. Father
Northrop remained in North Catolina rwo
yeart after the division of the diocese and
returned to Charleston in 1871. He was
then stationed at the Cathedral a assistant
pastor I and was in 1877 appointed pastor of
St. Patrick's Church upon the consecration
of Drj Moore as Bishop-of Florida. Du
ring hfcr term of service' at the Cathedral
Father Northrop filled the ' position of
Ecclesiastical Superior of the Sisters of
Mercy and pastor of the Sullivan's Islalrd
Churchi after A he I death of. Father.! Bei

Charleston News and Courier says he has
ever'beeh 5 thoroughly "effluent and consci

. is possessed 0 ingJij Auuiei.-,uaj, aututj, a .

EVENING SESSldN, , J i,
: : The services were closed by the Benedic
tion of the Blessed Sacrament in the even-:
ing, at. 7:30 o'clock, followed by anelo-!
quent and interesting" discourse from Bish-j
:op Keane, of Richmond, which was listened
to by ; an , immense . audience. ' Bishop
Keane enjoys the reputation of being one!
of the best ' pulpit' bra rs in the country,'
and his effort Sundn sr , night will go far;
with those who were-j so ; fortunate
as to'
compose his audienccj in establishing

finale to the grand and imposing ceremonies;
of the installatioiK Jt was intended to be,
as it really was, an introduction of the new
Bishop t o the people, among whom he was
to labor. ,The spacious hall of the boy's
school, on Fifth - street, was brilliant-'
ly lighted, and long before the ; arrival of
the clergy was thronged by the members of .
the congregation and their friends. About
8 o'clock Bishop Northrop arrived, accom
panied by the. Most Rev. Archbishop Gib
bons and Right Rev. Bishop Keane; and
Very Rev. M.r S. Gross and the reverend
clergy who had assisted . at the installation
ceremonies. Upon all being seated CoL B.
R. Moore, who had been selected as the ora
tor on the part of the congregation, arose
and in an eloquent and appropriate address
abounding in happy allusions and brimming
over with Cheery, heart-felt words of wel
come, addressed himself to Bishop Nor
throp. The address was a master-piece of
its kind and, at a glance gave the : new
Bishjop an idea of the field and the . people
among whom he was to live and work. It
would be an injustice to the orator to at
tempt a synopsis oi it. we have never
listened to a more fitting or more eloquent
and appropriate' address of welcome than
on this occasion.' It was happily conceived,
well put together and impressively cleliv
evered, and was enthusiastically applauded.
Right Rev Bishop Northrop fittingly re
sponded, and referred in feeling terms to
the words of welcome that had been ex
tended to him by CoL Moore on the part of
the congregation. His reply was listened
to. with rapt attent ion. . The Right j Rev.
orator, while disclaiming any intention of
making a speech, indulged at some length
in a quiet, home-like talk to his new charge.
After a few eloquent remarks by both the
Most Rev. Archbishop and " Right ; Rev.
Bishop Keane, who were respectively called
upon, the people crowded around their new
pastor and an informal greeting on all sides
took place, and thus closed the ceremonies
incident to the occasion an event, taken
altogether, which will long be remembered
by the Catholics'of North Carolina.

To the flew x oric Associated Jress: ; r
Gentlemen : I have the honor herewith
to transmit my speech. It, is' a historical
document, and I desire it sent broadcast to
the American nation."1 I am not certain that
Judge pox will allow ine to deliver it, but I ;
send it; to "my countrymen, and they and.
the President of the United States, if neces
sary,, will finally - adjudicate this case. I;
have air encomum on Judge Cox, at the
close of the speech, which I allow to stand,'
but I do not think it possible, on mature re
flectionthat he really intends to gag me
and! prevent delivering the speech. If he
aoes nis name win go into Aistorv blackened
as the f gag law man. " I am sure that, the
able Chief Justice and his associates, who
represent the Washington Court, in banc.
wUl 'spit with scorn ; upon the position of
Judge Cox, and I am sure that the high
toned men of the nation will ' do likewise.
Because I am my own counsel, and it is in
famous mat i am not permitted to address
the jury when my life is at stake. I would
not trust the best man in America to close
my case. I take no stock in Mr. Scoville's
and Mr. Reed s theory of defence. I re
moved the President, and. this speech con
tains my defence, and it should be read by
every American, and I desire you to give it
the widest publicity by printing it in its en-
ureiy. i . i-.v ., . ... . jji -.;'-.:,. -..t -U

January 15th, 1882. i
- The speech which accompanies this letter
makes ten or twelve . thousand words, but
contains very little which is either new or
important. The first part of it is a mere
repetition of Guiteau's Christmas address,
which has already had a wide publication.
Of; the! remainder the , following extracts
give a fair idea. After reviewing the his
tory of the conflict between the Stalwarts
and the Half-Breeds, Guiteau jsays: . v
"Soon after Robertson's appointment the
Republican party began to heat. This was
about the middle of May. By the first of
June it was red-hot. - By the first of July it
was white-hot If this spirit had not-been
killed by the ' President's removal, the na
tion would soon have been in the flame of
civil war. Our late rebellion cost the na
tion nearly a million of men, and a billion
of money, and it desolated the hearthstones
of the ( republic: To prevent a repetition
of this desolation the removal of the late
President was necessary, r: Byi his removal
the Republican! party was cemented, and
the nation to-day is happy and prosperous.
To-day I suffer in bonds because I had the
inspiration and i nerve to remove thePresi
dent that the nation might live; but I ex
! pect you, gentlemen of , the jury, will re
move these bonds to the end that I go forth
a free and vindicated man That is what
you are here for, "-and I ask you to liberate
me. Teiitne American people that you
find no evil in me, and that my inspiration
came from! the Deitv: and that he. andie
36ne, is responsible for the President's re
moval, f I now! review this case since July
2nd,, and call special attention to the acts of
the Deity wherein he i ' has taken special
pains to protect me and confirm my inspira
tion, to the end that all men may see, and,
seeing, may believe' in my inspiration:" " f
-; After reviewing again the. history of the
weeks which immediately preceded . the as
sassination oi tne resident, and the mo
tives which impelled him to the murder,
.Guiteau says:" -y- 5 y . . ..
J never Jiad the slightest doubt as
to the divinity for the act or the necessity
ior it. f An opportunity came, j I shot him

army possible in view of the facts appear
ing in this trial, the "Deity has probable
fixed the law so that their Verdict cannot
be legally enforced.' . It is . the opinion of
some of the ablest members of this bar that
this Court , has I no jurisdiction to trv this
case. . Thii point will be pressed if neces
sary in arrest of judgment. .' But I expect
you, gentlemenj of the jury, to justify the
act. You are here to vindicate mv inspi
ration, i You are here to say that I never
would have shot the President on my per
sonal account' ! This is the literal truth.
And now I propose to call your attention to
tne acts oi tne peiry connrming- my inspi
ration. 1 I went' to the " Baltimore' & Poto-
mat Depot oh the 2d of I July, and shot the
President twice. 1 Only one ball took effect.
;I would not do it again for one "million of
dollars. - It was the most insane,' foolhardy
act possible; no one but a "mad man could
have done it; but I would have done it at
any time after' "June ; 1st if I had known I
Vas to be beheaded the next moment. I had
no power to prevent it. My free agency
was entirely destroyed.1;'. 1 ; waj'';.m.l'duresi, .
and in law any one in duress is not resnon

to acquit me. How do we know you were
under duress?- my word for it. 1 No one else,
can know this fact but the Deity : and me,
I knew it: the Deitv knows it: and the
; Deity has taken special pains to thus far pro-i
tect the: ' If It' be true absolutely that Provi I

This trial has developed my j motive and

this case is Whatthose experts call transitdrv

ne is oouna unaer tne law to give me tn

his Cabinet telegraphed to foreign nations,
that it was the act of a madman, and it will i
