TRIAL IN WASHINGTON.

WE are sufficiently loyal to our country to deeply feel the disgrace of the farce which is being enacted in Washington, under the title of the trial of the murderer of President Garfield. This trial is a matter of national interest, and it is humiliating to every American citizen, that a Judge could not be on the bench who would maintain the dignity of a Court of Justice, and defend respectable witnesses from the persistent insults of a criminal, whose guilt is beyond dispute. Both Scoville and his client are playing a shrewd part,—one which they could not play with a proper Judge upon the bench. Any one who can plot and plan as Guiteau does, should be held responsible for his crimes.
