THE DECATURDEMOCRAT BY A. J. HILL. t' ~~ — Friday, January 27, 1882. THE ENO. Guiteau to Hang. tu. ■»—» »«.••* vpooTUotr Vordict in Ten Minute*. The trial of Guiteau reached a conclusion Wednesday evening, after ten minutes deliberation. Porter closed his argument, Guiteau following him with a running comment of fierce invective. The judge delivered his charge and the case was in the hands of the jury. The verdict of tne jury here and every where else is universally approved. It is right that he should hang. It would have been a disgrace to the American people had he been acquitted, for it would have been undoubtedly followed by his sudden uremoval” by the hand of violence. There will probably be an appeal, which will result in a brief respite, but nothing now will save him from the gallows. GuiTTEAU now knows what prize he has drawn in the “lottery of assassi-

nation. Operations in western mining stock, is a new way of getting money without an equivalent. Those who invest will not see a dollar of their hard earned money. -— <*»■ The Assistant Treasurer of San Francisco, refuses to take silver for custom dues. He is loaded down with the base stuff and has no more room to store it in. The number of bills introduced into both houses of Congress up to the present time number nearly five thousand. Congress must be trying to outdo Indiana’s last legislative effort. The new dog law goes into effect April Ist.Dog owneis, breeders and fanciers should read up and comply with the law, or the constable may hare an unpleasant duty to petform. The alarming amount of small pox in the country is said to be due to the immense influx of emmigrants the past year. The United States Board of Health have declared smalt pox an epidemic. Some of the Democratic papers of the State arc advocating an early State Convention. There is plenty of time gentlemen. These large political campaigns a.c any iking Lut desireable, raying of Indiana has 2,253 women farmers; fifty-two barkeepers; sixty-three authoresses; 532 boarding house keepers; one hundred and seven book agents, and other avocations accessible to women are well represented. Republican Journals are very busy industriously circulating that at the State Democratic Editorial Convention, a resolution was passed hostile to prohibition. The truth is an informal discussion of the temperance question took pla-e, without any action.

The Republican press are turning their batteries upon Murat Halstead, of the Cincinnati Commercial for his bitter attacks upon Garaeld when a candidate. Halstead apologized for his ronduet, but his excuses are not considered a justification for Ins bitterness. The small pox seems to have taken another boom, having appeared in many new locations, both east and west. In all large towns where it has effected a lodgement, it seems impossible to get rid of it, notwithstanding all precautions that can be employed. It behoves our people to complete the vaccination of the people. It is the only known way to prevent its spread. Those wno fail or ref use to get vaccinated render themselves liable to a prosecution under the new law. .And any person, who by such refusal to vaccinate, is exposed so the small pox, takes it, and spreads it in a community, ought to be punished with the utmast rigor of the law. Last fall there was more capital than experience in the market. At present the reverse is true. In fact there are large chunks of experience lying around loose, just as if it cost nothing. It should be cared for; utilized if you please. Those who have it on hand, though not able to realize upon it immediately, should take care of it. It might be very useful in future operations. There is wisdom in experience and reasoning logically, to the wise, experience is wisdom. It may not be convertable into greenbacks, on call, on the other hand if taken care of. it may prevent further greenbacks being converted into experience. We can, the poet says, find some good in every ill, if we scan it closely. Take care of your experience, it may be a blessing in disguise; regard it as such.

The Literary ‘‘Rebellion.” Mr. Jelin B. Alden, who organized the “Literary Revolution, which has given the people the best of books at such wonderful low prices, does not give up the fight with the failure of “The American Book Exchange,'' which failure, he claims, was in no re.-pect the result of selling books too cheaply, but was caused by the combination of publishers and booksellers against the enterprise: infamous and baseless slander being scat*cred broadcast culminated in a “panic" among the creditors of the Institution, causing a “run' which resulted in the failure of ths company, jusfas it his often caused the failure of banks or other in titutions perfectly solvent under ordinary conditions. He an J other friends of the enterprise have or ganized “The Useful Knowledge Publishing Company,” and a literary ttt'bfllion which proposes to carry on the fight. The first work published by the new company is a beautiful edition of Macaulay’s “Life of Frederick The Great,” which they sell for the marvellously low price of 20 cents, neatly bound in cloth. The company proposes to begin immediately the publication of a series of cyclopaedias—one of history, one of biography, one of science, one Os choice prose literature, one of poetry and one of religiuos literature—each of which cyclopaedias will be in several large octavo volumes of over 1000 pages each, at the price of $1.25 per volume, in cloth binding, and will also be published iu numbers, at only two cents per number, oviirgrunsiueruurj utrun even tne *TtfUiution" prices.' They will send specimen pages and catalogues free, and friends of choice literature at low prices will be sure to shower them with postal cards at least.
