Niw Yokk, November it).—Dr. Ta!
n:age delivered the socond of his series
of sernw ns on the Ten 1'lsgues, this
morning, at the Tabernacle. After the
opening hymn—
' Arm of ifteLonl. Awake' Awake' '

the Kevereud Doctor announced hia
text to be Kxodus via. 6: "And the
frogs cauie up and covered the land of
Egypt, and the magicians (lid so with
their enchantments and brought up
frogs ou the land of Egypt."
There is uow a universal aversion to

worse, they could not mak" it better.
My text suyo, 'ltm frogs came tip ami

magtc'ans did so wi'h tneir enchant

I have to t»-ll you that the piague of
frogs ha>« co.ne back, and is at this hour
affecting this nation. They come in the
shape o:
Corrupt Literature.
T'i-v h. p into the store, into the shop,
into tiie home, uro the garret, in'o the
c- il.tr, on the drawing room table and on
the it. ives of t: e library. One of them
hops on the school b^y'a hand, while the
tea her is looking the other way. Tha
voung woman rua ling the forbid lan
lOT-dette by gas light, alter »he his re
t:ro I a? nignt, has one of them jump on
her pillow. They leap into a treat
many news stands, the mail hags at the
post office empty hundieds of them ou
t'.e floor. The magicians of literature
instead of destroying them help to in
crtase the number. The land is pos
sessed with them. It i« one ol the most
devastating, oati«cme,
Uhastly and Frightful
of the ten plagues of our modern cities.
I do not put the case too strongly when
1 say that one-haif of the books priuted
and of the newspapers published ou^ht
never to s» e the light. They are so full
of pestilence that the whole land
swelters in the moral epidemic.
Literature •«. a uation must decide the
morais of the uation. If good boks
predominate, virtue predominates. Ii
had hooks are in the majority, then
vice reigns. I begun with the litera
tare lowest down, that which pretends
to no kji>od and from cover t* cover is a
Scab of Leproay.

, r e O • i the United States. for
bidding the transmission of sorrupt
pamphlets anil hooks through the j
United States mails. But that law had
go many loops through which all peopls
might crawl, that it was a dead failure
In 1ST.}, another law was passed that
caught a multitude of scoundrels, in all
parts uf the land, aud their stock of
goods was confiscated and they were
thrown int^ pns'iu. It was a law against
which no goo I man would nuke objec
tion. But it aroused the indignation of j
the
Wor?t People
in ali the country, arid a league was j
formed to force Congress to repeal the I
law, ami petitions rolled up at the door
of Congress. The first name on the pe
tition is t'le name of Robert <J. 1 nger
soi!, the champion blasphemer of Amer
ica. Ti»U same blasphemer also reques
ted the Senate of the United States to
hare this law for the defence of society
repealed, but the attempt before both
Houses was a failure. The Committee
of the House of Representatives Mar I,
1878, sent the following report:
"The Committee on the Revision of
tK0*taws, to whom was referred the pe
tition of Robert G. Insert-oil ami others,
praying for the repeal or modification of
sections l,7So, 3,878, 3,81)3, 5,38!) and
2,491 of the Revised Statutes, have had
the same under consideration and heard
the petitioners at length. Invite opin

Obscene and Indecent

believe that the statutes iu question do
not violate the (onstitution of the
I"lilted States, ur.d ought not to be
changed. They rcc tmuieud, therefore,
that the prayer of the stud petition be
denied."
My friends, that only illustrates that
intid'eiiiy wiiich wipes its feet 0:1 the
Bible ami spits in the fate of God is
alio tiie foe o' good society. I do not
wonder that when Mr. lugersoll atked
the M.'vor oi Toronto f->r license to lec
ture in'that «ity, the Mayor replied:
"No, sir; you uiay hav« no God in the
I'uited States, bin we have one up here
in I'atiada, and you «<hail not come here
»•:<! blaspheme i 1 im." One of the worst
oi the men who had been sending ob
scene \-ap -rs through the mails was
tried. condemned and put iu prison.
President Hayes was applied to for a
pardon, but having examined the case,
and li.iding there was 110 excuaaaud no
mitigating circumstances for the ri'lian,
!.e refuted to pardon the culprit, Ihetia
siH'ie y of > called liberals, passed a res
olution ut deepest sympathy for this
Filthy Creature,
and the resolution was presented by
U ibert Intf -rsiT, an 1 was passed by the
meeting \\lib treat e nthusiasm. It wi.l
yet be demonstrated, and it no one else
w ill undertake the work, I w ill, that
wnile Chiistixnitv i< the mother of all
virtue, Infidelity "in this century 11 the
mother of ad vi-es without any excep
tion. Auy man who could petition the
Congress of the I'nited States for the
repeal of the law against sending through
the mails, obscene and depraved litera
ture, is the foe of every decent nun in
America, and offers an insult to everv
clear-minded man and pure hearted
man in I'nristiandom.
Now, how aro we to tight this plague
of a corrupt literature? First, by the
prompt ami inexorable execution of the
law. L»i all wood postmasters, and
I'nitrl Stitcs district Attorneys, and
det'efives, and reformers consort to
gethei lor the defence.
Public Morals.
When Sir Rowland Hill spent his life
in the etf>it to g.tin cheap postage for
all nations", and wrought a reform by
which the great blessing of the po3tof
ac« shoal I be opened to all honest busi
ness.", and to messages of air*etion and
charity amt healthful inttrcomtnunica
tion, he did not mean to make crime
easv, or to fid the mail bag*of the world
with the scabs of moral leprosy. I like
thu wav that Jay Gould last we<.k
pounced upon the culprit who was dis
gracing our munificent postal system.
The fact that the offender lived in Fifth
avenue inst-ad ot K 111 street, makes his
I crime more outrageous. rn*New ^ ork
posU'fficf uevt r did a better thing than
when it assign d fifty postmen to watch
the postotfice boxes, and the police ile
partnient <>i New York never did a bet
ter tiling than when it detailed tffty de
tectives to make a summary arrest. We
most have thu postal service of the
I'uited States clean, and
Kept Clean,
and the jt-ople must all un lerstatid that
the swift retribution of the United
States government hovers over every
violation of the iet>er box. There are
tens of thousands of men and women,
sometimes for purposes of personal gain,
sometimes through innate depravity,
and sometimes through a spirit of re
venge, attempting to use this avenue of
intelligence and commerce for purposes
palacious, reven/ful, and diabolical.
Wake up the law! Wake up all its pen
alties! l.et every court room in the
land, 0:1 this, subject, be a si4-u thun
derous and aflame. Give the culprits
the full number of years at
Sing Sing or Harrisburg, and let that
governor be hurled out of o!fi.-» if
he pardon before the expiration of the
time; and I am not talking about what
can be done 1 am talking about what is
being done. The publication of new
books of an
Abandoned Character
has heen almost 8toi»p*»«i in this country.
M.inv of those !o pictorial weeklies,
which wen? on every >ailroad fr >iu
Bangor to San Francisco, hare, for the
tuost part, disappeared. Why? Be
cause the societies for the purification
j of railroad literature have compelled
I thin iniquitous stuff to keep off the
trains. The Doctor then rapidly
sketched the work which has been dune
! t»v this and kindred aocieiies, and con
cluded with the following eloouenl

UcJd Books
Wegeteo used to seeing good books
that we do not re.ili/ » what a good hook
is. I stan l it on end; look at it; meas
ure its height, and .l»-(»;h, and length,
and 1 r adth; examine its leaves. Wnat
pushing on from impressions in clav to
hark of trees, from b.trk c»f tr«-ps to |>.\
pyrus, front papyrus to hide of wil l

you have it. Paper, wtiite and pure,

printirg and compare to this bonk the
j wooden planks on which Solou's l»ws
I were written.and the tables of lead on
j which Hesiod'n poems were written,
j and the p l'Vcted printing press Look

; that it to <k the w*rld nearly t>,000 years
i from the covers of oak to cloth binding,
i until Mr. Pickering, the London pub

Universities ol the P*«f,

the victories, ail t'i" defeats, all the civ

j cevtnries to make it A book! It is the
drawing room where kings and queens,
and philosophers and historians, and
] poets and mighty men and women of
ttie past come out to greet us. A book!
, It is the chorus oi the ages. It is the
: weapon, hurled by a Divine catapult
out of Heaven to destroy the wrong,
j It is the apocalyptio angel to proclaim J
redemption to all people. A book! A
book! If 1 worshiped anything ou earth
I would worship it. if I burned in
cense before auy idol, I would build an
altar before it. Thank God for good
books, instructive books, purifying
books, healthful books of men, books of
women, books of God.
Tkese are tha Weapons
with which we are to smite down cor
rupt literature. Write them. Print
t iem. Publish them. Distribute them.
Upon the frogs, swoop with these eajiies.
We may depend much on the mortality
of bad books They do not live long.
Even valuable books have a struggle to
live. ()f the forty histories of Polybius
only five remain. Thirty books of
Tacitus dropped out of the world's cata
logue. Only thirty-five of one hundred
anil forty booksof Livyremain. Twenty
books of Pliny perished. Aeschylus
wrote one hundred dramas, but only
seven exist, and Euripides one hundred
dramas but only nineteen exist. Yarro
wrote the biography of 700 great
Romans, and all that wealth of biography
has nerinhed. threat the mortality
among valuable books, but much moro
do the l»ad expire. They die. like the
frogs of Kgypt, when the J>ord turned
back the plague. And the warofOhris
tiani/.ation shall go on until nothing
shall be left but good books and they
will
Take Pojsession
of the nation. May we all live to see
that illustrous day! Sam! out against
eveiy had pamphlet a good pamphlet,
a;aius'. evtry scurrilous song a clean
song, against every evil picture an in
nocent picture, and against every cor
rupt book a holy book Then it will be
as when in ancient Toledo, the Toletan
mi«jals were kept by the p-sints in six
churches. The Romans sirreHgioualy
ordered t!«*8e missals destroyed aud
Roman missals substituted. " A war
brokf out, but the whole contest was
finally left to two champions, and the
champion of the Toletan missals, I am
glad io say, with one stroke brought
down the champ on of the Roman
mi.'sal. So may good literature induce
the championship o' God and the truth,
whelm corrupt literature in its cham
pionship for perdition. I feel tingling
to the tip eud of mv lingers and through
all the nerves of my body and all the
depth of my soul, the certainty of our
final triumph.

Jorjjenseti and Desendoil, of Virginia,
wr»te to and invited all the Southern
Republican members to meet them here
in conference, to-morrow, for the pur
pose ot acting in unison upon the elec
tion of Speakt r, but as 110 Southern
members except tlie two from Virginia
has arrived, the proposed conference
will have to be postponed. It will
probably be held yet. From the South
ern ami bonier States thera are ten mem
bers, and they will likely undertake to
combine on a candidate who will prom
ise them a fair consideration. Southern
members who have been in Congress,
generally say they have not received the
consideration they deserve, ami the
idea ot a conference is to compel what
they regard as proper consideration. It
will only require 174 votes to nominate
a speaker ami 10 votes banded together
in that manner can accomplish some
thing.
Minor Notes.
It is stated that a letter hss been re
ceived from Hyatt Smith, of Hrook

lie is working for the Republican nom
ination for Congress next year, and
will, therefore, it i» supposed, vote anil
act with the Republicans entirely.
There is considerable talk here about

Osnk Eximtncrs.
Members of the next Congress, now
here, say they intend to pre^s upon the
a'teution of Congress early in the ses
sion, the importance, or raihnr neces
sity, of a thorough overhauling and re
vision of ttie Nation tl Dank law, and
especially that part relating to examina
tions of banks. Cndcr the present sys
tem, it is thought bank examiners are
appointed and are uiuler control of the
Comptroller of the Currency and they
arfl paid by the National Hanks. M"m
b r^ of Congress think this mod** of
payment is a bad feature, and its natural
tendency is to make examiners under
some obligation to the banks. One
change of the law tha' i9 9poken of, and
wid be urg.-d, will be to proviie f«>r the
payment oi examiner* by the g>vern
ment, an l to hold the examiners to the
very strictest responsibility f >r their
works. The recent failure of National
Banks have forced the subject up >n the
attention or Congressmen. S >me of
them say that the favorable report of
an examiner under the present sys
tem will not. hereafter carry any weight
with it. as bai ks that have lately failed
had been reported all light by the exam
iners.
At the last session of Congress this
subject of amending the banking la v in
relation to examiners, was intendel u»
be presented by ditFerent members, but
so lon^ a time wa» consumed on the
Funding bill that it was voted that sufli
cient tim» was not left.

i
Washington, November 1!J. — The
court room was even more densely
crowded than usual, in order to keep
out the crowd it has been found neces
sary to issue tickets of admission, which
will hereafter be done.
The prisoner was brought in at 9
o'clock, and the testimony procseded.
George C. Mavnard testified to loaning
the prisoner money on different occa
sions. John O'.Meara testified to selling
a pistol to Guiteau, but could ot identi
fy the one in court.
Oettinz Scared.
At this point Guiteau announced that
there has been threats of violence made
against him, and he wanted it under
stood that auy attempts of that kiud
would bo met by his body guard.
Col Rockwell then detailed the cir
cumstances of the ahootihg, when i.e
was iuterruped by .Scuville, who said:
"We acknowledge the killing," when
Guiteau quickly shouted, "No; we ail
mit the shooting, hut not the Killing."
Gen Swaim next described the illness
aud death of the President, after which
Dr. D. W. Blita
was called. Witness gsvo a narratfve,

t'utilo Attempt to Assassinate the Assa«
sin—Arrest of the Idiot.
Washington, November 11».— I'pon
the adj lurnuient of court ths van
started, as usud, for the jail, having one
policeman as a guard, who sat on the
"eat with the driver. Before reaching
•tie Capital the guard noticed a youn^
man on horseback riding leisurely be
hir.d tho van. Near the corner of Kist
Capital and First streets, the horseman
rode direetly up to the rear of the van
and hasti 1 v peered through the small
grating (iuiteau was alone in tho van
and seated on the right hand side, the
seals running lengthwise of the van.
After evi lently satisfying himself of the
lo a'ion of the prisoner, the horseman
wheel d suddenly to the left of the van
and
Fired Diroctly Through it.
He then dashed ti the front of the
v.in ami pointed his pistol at the driver,
with the evident intention of intimi
dating him or stopping the van. The
driver was somewhat excited, and in
response to the inquiry of the
reporter said: "Perhaps he intended to
stop the van by shooting one of the
horses." Seeing an armed policeman
by the sidejof the driver, he spurred
his horse and dashed down East Capital
street, in the direction of the Contres
sional Cemetery. The policevian tired
one shot at the fast disappearing horse
man, and the driver of the van whipped
his horses into a gallop and kept in
sight of him for several blocks. The
Would-bo Avenger,
was, however, mounted upon a blooded
horse, and readily escaped out into the
couutrv. He was described as a smooth
faced man, about 45 years of a«e, and a
•lashing horseman. lie had on a dark
brown suit. The van then proceeded
to the jail and (iuiteau was taken out
in a s'ate of great excitement. He ex
claimed: "I have been shot. Notify
Major Brock at once. Tell him to at
rest the scoundrel and have him dealt
with as he deserves."
On examination it was found that the
ball hail just grazed Guiteau's left wrist,
indicting a
mere ocraic/i.
The ball struck the opposite Bide of the
van and fell upon the lljor. where it
was found, on reaching the jj.il.
The announcement of the attempt
upon (.Juitcau'it life created intena* ex
citesiia.it npon the »:ree:s and a 1 sorts of
rumors were in circulation. The would
U > ki.ler was seen about the court house
this aftertiO'.m ami attenip«o<l to gain
admission during the day, but failed.
He was »l?o seen to mount his horse
soon after the van Mr, and ride leisurely
after it. It was rumored he hailed
from Illinois, but there s-'ems to be no
foundation ior the report. It was
whispered in the crowd without the
court house, just previous to adjourn
ment, that to day would be
The Last Day
of tne trial. A remark was also heard
in the crowd that if auv one wanted to
see Guiteau tiiey had bettor do so to
day. This would lead to the belief that
more than one person was a ware that
t ;e attempt would be made.
Arreat of the Maa.
After escaping from the oflicera the
man who lired at (iuiteau tied into the
country, and was captured at the resi
dence of Mr. J. B Lord, and was taken
to the Second Police Station. There he
j gave Irs age as 20; his occupation
farmer, and the charge preferred was
suspicion. It was learned that he re
fasrd either to deny or affirm the s^oot
ing. He was locked up for the night.
Deputy Marshall Williams recognized
Mr. Jones as the man seen around the
court house during the day, and who
had been eyeing (iuiteau very closely.
The description given by Officer Edlein,
who fired at him as he H*<i from the
I van, was answered, even to the color of
j his moustache. The horse, a sorrel,
! was covered with foam, and showing
hard ri ling was found in the yard of
j Lord's !ious», where Jones was arrested.

Washington, November 20—There
were hundreds of visitors at the district
jail to-dav. IMigious services were
he'd in therotunlaby representatives
I of the various churches.
Gniteau was the attraction, and
throughout the day a crowd of anxious
spectators hung around the gate open
j ing^into the corriderin which is hisesll.
| Occasionally a party would obtain per
j mission to pass through the corri
j dor and view the prison

The guards would engage Guiteau in
J conversation, faying something in ref
«rence to the attempt to shoot him y«s
I trrdav. His invariable reply to the
j allusions was, "Oh, yes; 1 am hard to
hit. People will learn after awhile that
the Lord is with me. and will not per
mit me to be killed.'' The flesh waund
caused by the shot causes the prisoner
no inconvenience whatever. He insists
he must have a strong guard of police
men to-morrow to
Aisut the Lord
in keeping him from danger. This af- I
ternoon the crowd at the jiil became so |
I great, Guiteau was notified by the war- i
i ilen there was a large number of persons

and he had better step out into the cor*
j ridor. Gniteau immediately put
on a coat and hat, and
brushing himself off, appeared in
full view of eterv one present. Upon
retiring he satuted the crowd in military
style, smiling in an indifferent manner
as he did so.
The guards say he passed a quiet
night, talking but little. He spends
most of his lime reading and writing.
The guards also say while he appears
perfectly calm and composed, yet he is
greatly disturbed about to-morrow, He

Various rumors are in circulation in

Washington, November JO.—Will.
Jones, arrested 011 the charge of tiring
into the prison van in which (iuiteau
w»s oiing conveyed from the couit
house to the j<*•). with intent to kill him,
was taken tiie to >econu precinct
police station about f o'clock last even
ing. He w as very drunk, and unable to
8.iy much about tbe matter. This
morning hu had become sober enough
to appreciate bis position, and at once
took steps to secure counsel in tbe per
son of K K. K liott, who w ill defend bim
in tbe polio court to-morrow morning.
A visitor to the station-house, to day,
asked Jihps why he didn't bit Guiteaii
J »nes laughed and sai<1. "It wasn't 1
that shot at him. I want to see them
prove it So cnfi lent wi re tbe author
ities last night the rieht
man had been secured, no further
search was made,and it was not till 5 p m.
any of ther.Ulcers in the van at the time
of the shooting were sent to the police
station houve to identify tbe prisoner.
Police Officer Kdclin, who was sitting
on the van with the driver, and who
tired at the horseman as be wheeled and
fled, rode out to the station bouse
about 5 o'clock. After a thorough
scrutiny of Jones' features, and some
conversation with iniu, Officer Kdclin
entered tbe office ol the station house
and announced to the officers and re
porters: •'Gentlemen,
That in Not tbe Man.
I should known the man I fired at yes
terday among a million, and I not only
failed to identify this man, Jones, as
the man, but I could swear that he is
not the man.
Officer Edelin then specified points of
difference between them as follows:
Jones has a litr'nt complexion, with
hardly a perceptible moustache, whereas
the man who tired at Guiteau was a
dark, smoothy man, apparently about
45 years old, with a very heavy, Bturapy,
black mustache, and keen black eyes.
Besides, the latter wis cool and sober,
and tbe manner in which he explained
and executed bis work, even though he
failed, was that of a clear
beaded, determined man, rather than of
a lulf wilted crank. .\,'ain the horse
li • ro le was a heavy sorrel with white
t re let's, while Jones' horse has not i
white ileek upon it." The authorities
are pretty well satisfied now from Ollicer
Edelin's statement, they ha^e not
secured
The Bight Man.
as an interval of an hour and a halt
elapsed between the time when the
would-be avenger escaped from the pur
suing van and tbe time when the
mounted officers first sighted the ec
centric Jones. There is room
for several theories now being ad vancbd,
that the real culprit made good his es
cape, a" he bad ample time to do so, or
that Jones, after, as he supposed,
having eluded bis pursuers, concluded
celebrate his exploit with a grand spree;
and again that Jones was an accom
plice t<< the extent of loaning his horsf,
and after receiving hack the animal ou
tliw outskirts of th ■ district hii'I learning
w.iat had been done, he was just drunk
enough to enjoy the sport of being pur
sued by the police, knowing ho cotiltl
not Ik* held for the real crimina!.
Jones, or Not Jones P
IVrry Carson, colored guardsman at
the rear of the van, to-night positively
identified Jones as the horseman
who followed the van to Kast Capitol
aud First streets, where the shooting
occurred. Carson says that when the
van reached the Capitol grounds Jones
was pretty close behind, ami when
tin * reached First strt!1!, lis rode past
thermal end, an I almost immediately he
heard a pistol sho*. and then an
other, but whether Jones is
th™ man who fired the pistol
-<!, >♦. h 'Ct, ••• t say, as from his posi
tion ni) u»e van it waa impossible to see
what happened on the near side or
front part.
Ti.e police are impressed to-night
that I ines is the man who fired at Gui
teau, not withstanding the statement of
Olfi.-er Eielin, and ikek of positive iden
tification on the part of the guardsman,

A VA I.ET BUNS BEFORE.
To be on the safe side Mr. W« xt seut his
valet on the steamer ahead of him to exam
ine the country and the roads and find out
the shortest routes and meet him and report
upon his arrival. It happens that in his
connection with the diplamatio service
abroad Mr. West found it convenient to
have a valet who.whilf an Englishman, still
spoke French, and Mr. Wills—for that is
the name the gentleman of the bed-cham
ber bears upon his stylish visiting card —
aside from his natural gift*, by reason of his
ozensive travels and iuformation is • very
agreeable and and interesting pereon.
When, therefore, a small, natty individual,
with a fresh face and mutton-chop whisker*,
a tl.it hat, square shoes and an overcoat
reaching to his heels appeared on board
the government vessel, crowded with
senators and judges and colonels and
commodores and men with tremendous bank
accounts, all intent on meeting and
welcoming the diplomatist, there was u
flutter on the quarter deck that extended
down into the <abiu, where a duet was in
progress between cracking jokes uiul popp
ing corks, and every one s*id, "who is he'.''
A fortunate individual, who had previously
got wind of him, and (imply knew that he
was an Englishman, and Mr. West's nvant
courier, quickly had him, by tho arm and
was introducing him all around. "Gen.
So.and-so, let me introduce yon to my
)«rticnlar friend, Mr. Wills, the new meuis.

such, come here a minute until I present
