WASHINGTON NOTES. Secretary Kirkwood has issued to the heirs of the famous Paul Jones, Captain in the American navy during the War of Independence, twenty-seven pieces of bounty-land scrip. Postmasters complain that there has been a loss of revenue under the present system of partial prepayment of postage on firstclass matter, and are agitating for the abolition of the practice. Secretary Folger refused to have the department clerks paid for December at Christinas, contrary to the usual custom. He found an express prohibition in the Revised Statutes. Last week there was important progress in the Guiteau trial. It has been abundantly shown by gentlemen of the highest qualifications that, while Guiteau is a man of irregular mind, and possibly so deranged tha* it would have been wise to have secluded bin from society, he still knows the nature and consequences Of homicide, and is responsible for his acts before the laws. By his own confession he is sane now. The public has settled down to the belief that conviction on the charge of murder in the first degree is only a mit ter of time, and interest in the case has visibly decreased. A Christmas manifesto issued by Guiteau, the assassin, is very characteristic of hit bombastic conceit and blasphemy. He pretends to have done his work as Christ and Paul did, to be as patriotic as Washington and Grant, and patronizes “the Deity” to the extent of being “ well satisfied with the Deity’i conduct of this case thus far.” President Arthur wants the salary of his Private Secretary raised to $4,500, and will then add $1,500 from his own pocket.

POUTICAIL POINTS. A report comes from Washington, said to be based on the authority of a gentleman who has had an interview with the President to the effect that the names of ex-Benator Sargent, of California, and William E. Chand! r, of New Hampshire, have been fully derided upon for the positions, respectively, Of Secretary of the Interior and Secretary of the Navy, The only hitch in this programme that is likely to occur, it is said, is the intense repugnance of Gen. Grant to Chandler, whom he looks upon as the leader of the forces which prevented bis nomination at Chicago, and to whose appointment as a member of the Cabinet he is bitterly opposed. It is said that in diplomatic correspondence shortly to be published there is a certain dispatch sent to our Minister to China (Angell) w hich will probably create some unfavorable comment on ex Secretary Blaine. This dispatch has reference to certain of the differences between China and Japan, in which Gen. Grant had a hand. Mr. Blaine, in his dispatch to Angell, said that Grant was at the time merely a private citizen, traveling for his own pleasure and in his private capacity, and with no more power to represent the Government than any other private ci( izen. Tarble, a Republican, was elected Mayor of Pensacola, Fla., by a majority of 272.

The Assassin and His Wife.

Mrs. Theodore Duumire, the divorced wif» of Guiteau, publishes a card in relation to th< visit of herself and her husband to the assassin. She says: As we entered the jail he advanced, and, shaking hands, received us very politely. I inquired if he was feeling well, and remarked, ali-0, that he had grown much thinner and looked a good deal older titan when I last saw, him. In reply he said his health was. good. ; Guiteau then inquired the ages of my children, and first stooped and kissed my 3-year-old boy, who was standing near him, and then kissed my little girl, whom I was holding, and then remarked they were nice children. My husband, who was standing near him during th« interview, then said quite impressively, addressing the prisoner, “I am sorry, Guiteau, to see you, or any other man, in tbe condition you are in.” The prisoner, smiling sadly, replied, “The Almighty will protect me.” Th# prisoner then said he was glad to know that I was well and comfortably settled in life, and ■aid : “Annie, I wish you much prosperity. I wish you well.” Some remarks were then made with reference to the climate of Leadville, where we reside. Mr. Duumire then.shook hands and said: “Good-by, Guiteau, it is not likely that we shall meet again.” To which he politely bowed I then hade mm good-1 y, and remarked : “Ja makes me exceedingly sorry to meet you nnder these sad circumstance when the prisoner smiled in a subdued manner and said : “ Annie, the Almighty will protect me.” We then quiets ly withdrew, leaving the prisoner alone with his God. The Albany (N. Y.) Press and Knickerbocker says : “ The largest following we know of to-day is that of St. Jacobs Oil; for where St. Jacobs Oil is, there rheum#., tism ia not. ”

fi jl Firm Adherence to Correct FrinciDlesF

THE GUITEAU TRIAL.

nomen day. Th# MMsain opened proceeding# by making a half apology for his brutality to George Scoville, classing him as a fins examiner of titles, ahd announcing that Charles H. Retd had consented to assume charge of the case. Judge Cox stated that he saw no objection to the participation of Mr. Reed. A totter from Dr. Bpitzka was read, advising the production of a cast of GuitSau’s head, to show malformation. During the lull the prisoner shouled, excitedly : “A vast amount of rubbish is getting into ttqa.cafg) that has notbingto dp Oh it No one #as tell wljrt my conditioßcf pnnd was on July 3. ; Wao can tuli what Is w the mind of the Ydremau of the j tuyy< ye est. rt ? Il will probably take airact ot Goo Wstrßgh.en this thing out. I expect He v* ill have to take one of these jurymen off the panel (pointing dramatically m that direction). He fa Juror’s wife, and I expect Ho will -SkW Juror It it cannot be done in any other way." Dr. 8. H. Talcott, Middletown, N. Y., testified in most emphatic tei ms, as the result of careful examination of the prisoner in jail and observation of his conduct in court, that he was sane. This statement waa received with applause. Dr. Talcott stated that he had made insanity a special study for the past seven years, and was at present Medical Superintendent of the State Homeopathic Insane Asylum, Middletown, N. Y. He had treated about 1,000 cases of insanity. Several of bis patients had attempted homicide. “I have seen some cases where patients had attempted murder under the insane delusion that they were inspired by the Lord. Ti:e characteristics were great excitability, and they have spok< n of their intentions before attempting their murderous work. I have never known a case where a patient claimed insanity as an excuse for crime. Upon the assumption that. the prisoner was telling the truth so far as he knew with regard to the actual transaction, and upon the ts-umption that tee record of his life emied ed the main facts of his life, I should be of opinion that on the 2d of July, when he shot the Fiesiduut, the prisoner Was sane;" There was a demonstration of applause here, which was Speedily suppressed by tue cuuitoliicers. Witness said lie had heard the hypothetical base read, and", assuming the proposuicns true, he had no hesitation in saying the piuouui' was sane. . Scoville cross-eXaiiiined witness, and asked. “ Do you believe in the Deity’s inspiring people to do things at the present day ?” “ Not of that chu racier,” camo the prompt reply, followed by an outburst of applause. Witness d.-d not believe the prisoner’s claim of inspiration to be an insane d lusion. “1 do not. behove that he thought he was honestly inspired.” ■ - He said he thought Guiteau in court .attempted to cjt'a-ggefateTjfs natural tciidenries, egotism and irritability, fur the purpose of producing an impression of insanity ; that it was possible for a man to commit murder when honestly feeling-impelled by a power he was unable to resist, and when the act was against uw natural feeling, and that such :.etdid uot prove insanity, so far as the brain was concerned, instancing the ci.BC of Abraham and Isaac and the people of the. Ganges. Dr. Henry F. Stearns, Superintendent of th; Haitford Retreat for the lr<M lne > was the nex: witness; from 800 to 1,000 cases of insanity had come under hik supervision during li.u eight years he has been connected with the Retreat. The witness had made tour examin itions of the prisoner at the jail, directed to his . b>• steal and mental corfltiou. Guiteau interrupted, saying : “You came to me, doctor, as a friend, and I, supposing yorw were going to testify for tLo de ense, talked, very freely with you aboutmy religious leehi.gsl and all about myself, but Corkhiii s money was too much for you. I waut to say here that I don’t pretend that I am anymore insane at this minute than Davidgo is I won’t say Corkhiii for I think he is cracked [laughter], but 1 rest my case right on this claim—that I was insane ou the 2d of July, when my inspiration and the state of my mind impelled.me upon the President. To make it short, that is all there ij about it. I don’t care what these experts s.iy about my sanity now ; that’s got nothing to do with it.” The witness detailed at great length the results of his examinations and interviews with Guiteau. Pending the cross-examination the court adj our tied. , THIRTY-FIRST DAT. Guiteau’s actions during the day’s proceedings were more outrageous, if possible, than at any previous time since the beginning of the trial. He insulted witnesses, defied the court, and abused the : lawyers for the prosecution without stint. When at length the Judge admonished hiin that if these performances were continued he should feel obliged to confine him iu the dock," the assassin promised to behave himself, and he did restrain himself to some extent. The witnesses were all doctors, and their testimony went to show that the prisoner was legally sane. Dr. Stearns of the Hartford asylum, Dr. janiu Strong of the Cleveland institution, and Dr. Thew, of Middletown, Ct;,, united in declaring that their investigations bad led them to believe the prisoner sane. Dr. Thew was considered the best witness of all the experts thus far called by the prosecution. Turning from the prisoner and lawyers, he faced the jury and explained his views with singular clearness and force. When Strong, of Cleveland, who had visited the jail and investigated the mental and bodily condition of tbe prisoner, was about to state the result of his examination, Guiteau looked up and said : “ Doctor, let me cut this short by saying that Fm in good physical condition, and as sane as you are.” Guiteau’s actions in court Saturday were outrageous. THIRTY-BEOOND DAT. The assassin opened court with the announcement that he “bad a nice Christmas dinner, with lots of fruits, flowers, and lady visitors* and a good time generally.** Dr. A. E. McDonald, Superintendent of Ward’s Island Insane Hospital, testified that during his practice he had attended 6,000 cases of insanity, and given special attention to tho study of insanity. Witness stated the difference between “ delusions ” and “ insane delusions ” the one being subject of correction by judgment and the senses, and the latter not being correctable, and for that reason denominated an insane delusion—also illusions aud hallucinations, giving illustrations from his own experience. He believed, judging from experience, that the claim of inspiration frequently asserted by insane persons proceeded from a source of hallucination or jpsaue delusion, an affection of the senses. Witness was then, asked if persons’ action, under a claim of “inspiration,” would indicate it in any other way ttian by their assertions, and replied : “ Their actions and behavior, would indicate it, as well a# their assertions. To illustrate it. a person clajfcing to be Jesus Cnnst, and acting under an Inspiration, clothed himself like tbe Savior, gave away his property and slept out of dbors, because the Savior ‘ had not where to lay his head.’ ” * Witness was asked jJajsTO persons wotfW' feel any apprehension Or bodily injury, or would take any precaution to guard against danger. He replied : “ Inspiration always overrides all fear, bodily pain or injury, and renders the person who believes beTsltctiug under inspiration wholly oblivious to such considera- ? Witieiß wait asked if usually ©lanuqd' wiih Mil rMlied: “Ua nhe-cobtraij-, tueir'acts areeteifeu m bothcou.QlpUon and execution, as a& they seldom' attempt to avoid consequences in any way.” “There are two kinds of insanity, doctor,” suggested the prisoner, “ the crank insanity and the Abraham insanity. The latter is the schiKtl '■? ” leU U 8 wliat - Witrffes described what is i&nmoffly called temixirary insanity, as where a man commits an act which is the ouly evidence of his insanity and where a person is to all appearanc. s pflr» fectly saue iu all other respects, both beiore and after the act. Guiteau—“ That’s just my case exactlv.” Witness—" I do not believe in su<Mi«anity, qnitin all my experience have intflpnce of it.”. M ffL ' Witness thought a person acting under an inspiration to commit a certain deed would not be deterred from the commission of that act throughconsideration oi personal harm to “bb, you are l&lfet eknka. Now, I don’t belong to thatjrhffai ” Witney Visited the prisonHr dis cell at the, jail, remaining two hours, and making the usual mental examination in such cases. He believed, from liiß examination and observar tion of the prisoner in court, [bat iw in pwfectlynneman. ... ... ’

Guiteau, who had kept unusually quiet all through the morning, here addreseed witness (speaaing without any show of excitement): “ You are making a great ado about nothing, Doctor. I don’t pretend that I am insane now. Teh us what you know about Abraham. Get your money and go home.” Witness, continuing, closely analyzed the conduct jjnd remarks of the prisoner during the trial, and concluded that he had seen playing a part ever since the first day. At the outset the prisoner, he said, had directed all his abuse against one of the counsel, and afterward against all of them. Guiteau —“Well, you see, Doot or, Corkhill has euirupted the rest of them. Evil communications, you know, corrupt good manners.” The assassin, looking over to the jury, continued : “ These experts are doing this business with a good deal of parrot-like talk. Dr. McDonald has deviated somewhat from the course pursued by the rest of them. I deem it but justice to myself to say that I did not say to him that I had examined the law in regard to this matter.” Mr. Reed conducted a long cross-examina-tion, and.- propounded a aeries of hypothetical questions, based upon the acts and conduct of the prisoner, to show such acts and such conduct would not be inconsistent with the theory of insanity. The witness admitted that insane persons were liable to be adjudged sane; that sane.peraons were liable to be adjudged insane, bcoville took up the cross-examination, and quesI tioned the witness at some length relative to I the symptoms and causes of insanity. The ' witness stated that insanity was the result I of a diseased brain, and was asked : “ Are ' you net confounding cause and effect ? And I oan not the unusual excitation of the emotions, j or excessive worry find care and anxiety, I overturn their reason and cause a dis- ; ease of the brain?” The witness admitted that ! such might be the case, with some oualifica- . tion ; that overwork, care and anxiety might j produce dyspepsia, which, with other causes, ' might lead to insanity, and that would mske i necessary a disease of the brain, and a disi ease of the brain would, in its turn, stimulate insanity. I THIRTY-THIRD DAT. Dr. McDonald resumed the witness stand i and was crosfi-examined by Mr. SboVille. The ' (juestions were directed mainly to the subject of i temporary insanity, and witness was asked if in ■ bis practice he had not met an instance of temporary insanity. He replied: “Yes, sir, I know of a man who was insane for twenty-four hours. ” i Scoville (eagerly)—“And then he got well?” I “ No, sir ;he died.” [Laughter at Scoville s 1 expense.] | Wmess was asked what he meant by saying. “I thjiuk he (the prisoner) has been playing a part in fiourt;” and replied : “I believe he has been feigning what he believed to be insanity—not real insanity. 1 believe that he has been attempting to give the impression in court that hb ic insane, and with that idea has been acting a part.’’ i ij Dr. Ksndolph Barksdale, superintendent of tljfe Central Lunatic Asylum, near Richmond, ■VA, visited the prisoner at the jail. He had also closely observed him in court, and from his personal examination and observation was <a# opinion he waa sane. Witness also testified that he believed Guiteau had been feigning in ' court. Witness believed, taking as true the facts set forth in the two hypothetical quesi tiqns of the prosecution, that the prisoner was i sane when he shot the Pre-ident. ’ Dr. John H. Collender. of Nashville. Superintendent of the Tennessee State Asylum for Insane, had given special attention to the study of insanity for the past twelve years. He had seen about 2,000 cases during his connection with the Tennessee asylum. Witness visited the prisoner in jail and also closely observed him in court, aud believed him perfeatly sane. He (witness) did uot believe the Deity ever inspired j* man to taAe tbe life of a fellow-creature ; that if a pctson labored under an insane delusion that ne was inspired to kill the President of tbe United States he would, even if he did opt talk flbout it, disclose his purpose by his cbangoiFmannet and conversation Spiteful comments by the assassin, together with bis threats to strike his guards, caused Judge Porter to demand [hut the prisoner be placbd in the dock. Guiteau interrupted with a promise that he would remain quiet District Attorney Corkhill insisted that the assassin be kept in the dock with no special protection, when Guiteau shrkked out that God would curse him. Scoville protested that tbe demand was an invitation to shoot the prisoner. Judge Cox sent tht accused to thb dock, wtilth failed to keep him i quiet. i The witness (Collender ), in answer to a qnes- ' tion, said that lie should not consider it an in sane delusion for a man to' profess himself ar “ a member of the firm of Jepus Christ & Co.’ unless there were other evidences of disease. A plaster cast of the bead was thei handed to the witness, and he was askec whether there was any marked peculiarity ii ! the head. i . The i prisoner—" It looks like Hump!} Dumplv.” The that the cast presented : ; tnbreMiflpfely ‘arid Symmetrical head than hi had expected-1 it would, but he placed no imI pcrtanco on the shape of the head as indicating san tv or insanity. On redirect examination the witness stated that ho did not Jhmk (he prisoner had beer | feigning insaMtr in’the court-Tbom. He had mriclv been istaggerating liis characteristics ! of self conceit, impudence, audacity and inso- ; knee. • i (The prisoner—“ln other words,when lam asi sanlted I talk back.' Porter expects to get $5,000 i for hanging.me. He sees his money slipping ! away becausp the Am (l 'i i:an people don’t want , me hanged, and he is mad at md.” TiniiTY-FOURTH DAY. The prisoner was taken without demonstration to the prisoner's dock, which is located about twenty-five feet from the counsel, upon ; the left of the room. A letter written by the I prisoner to Don Cameron, asking for the Bum 1 of SSOO, was submitted by the defense as evidence of insanity. The letter is as follows : Hon. Don Cameron: -Da.\B Slit: I am on trial for,m> Ilfs and I need , moi.ey. I “im a stalwart of tiie stalxarts, and so are ' 'You think a great deal of Gen. Arthur, and so do 1. My inspiration made him President, and I am going to ask yon to let me have SoOO. If I get out of this I will return it If not, charge it to the stalwarts. I . Yours for our cause, and very cordially, (Signed) Charles Guitxau. In court, Washington, D. C», Dec. 19, 1881. P. S.—P.ease give your check to my brother, J. W. Guiteau,' of Boston, and make it payable to my orI der. C. G. ; When the letter was produced in court, th# jaisouer denounced. his brother as a nuisance and ScOvihe as a jackass. Dr. Callender, who occupied the witness J Stand, was then asked by Scoville : “ Will you give your opinion whether such a letter as that, ! written to a man he didn’t know, does not in- ' dicaip uiu?oqndne»ti ol ‘ i Answer—“l don’t' think it indicates unsoundness of mind. It seems to me consistent with his character and habit through life of solicit- ■ ing money from sources where he had no reason ! to expect it” Dr. Walter Kempster, Superintendent of the ~ Wiscopsiu State Hospital tor the Insane, had : devbtcif his attention to the study of insanity i for thb'past fifteen years. Witness was familiar ' with the process oi taking the conformity Of T IheTJeacT, and did not Geneve riiuch importance, i afea be attached to of the ! tiead m determining the question of sanity or insanity! ; Wjiliens exhibited slips Showing the i shape/ as takffn by-The "confornfiter, ’ of the Beads ot a.number of gentlemen. Witnegs related inaifiente within his knowl- ■ edge of. persons whp had committed crimes i : while acting under the influence of insane det liwiofls, and defined what lie considered insane delusions l« be. ; . . j W'itneea was then asked if he had ever seen a ] case where a person committed crime and : claimed divine inspiration, and if bo, how such peishAa'deported themselves before and after the act.' He'rdphed that in such cases the delusion (or inspiration as they claim it to be) i comes to thti person suddenly, and with intense ; pressure, and that such persons act quickly and i upon sudden impulse, delaying Heitner to consider opportunity or weapons ; that it would be impossible to'bodeeive, without actually witnessing it;. th# energy. and impetuosity and de- ! termination with which persons acting under p.a«"iftßane delusion carry but their purposes ; | that it< wcuid be equally miposaible to describe I it with language. ■p Guiteau—“ Yeti don’t agree with Abraham, ; Doctor. He took plenty of time to make his I arrangement.” | Witness stated tbat he did not believe in a i distUSoCA3sis'6f to sanity be called ! moral insanity. . It was simply a convenient | term which, had been invented to excuse the [ commission of heinous crimes. Witness had ' never seen abase where an insane man, after i committing a crime, paraded his insanity and : urged it as an excuse for hii crime. Insane I murderers do not boast of their acts but, on I the contrary, very jarely allude to them un- | less u good deal of. ingenuity is used to * them out. Witness, tintd he entered this •. ’•«- • " i■ -- -!• r ■

court-room, bad never heard of a case of alleged inspiration that came from within. Always suer persons claim to have heard iho*voice of God or Been His image or something of that sort Such inspiration is never a conviction arrived at after mature reflectien on the part of the person So affected. Witness waa aeked if tbe belief of prisoner’a father, L. W. Guiteau, that disease could t»e cured by prayer, should be taken as w evidence of insanity. He replied: “By no means. We all know that thousands and thousands of sane people prayed daily for the salvation of President Garfield’s life. They would hardly have done so if they had not entertained some belief in the efficacy of prayer.” Witness bad visited the jail aud examined the prisoner with a view of determining bia mental condition. The witness detailed at some length conversations he had with tbe prisoner, with occasional contradictions by Guiteau. The witness had asked the prisoner if he thought he was- insane, aud his reply was : “ Not what you experts call insane ; but legally insane.” When asked what he meant by that term, the prisoner had said that if he could get a jury to believe he was acting under an inspiration from the Lord when he shot the 1 resident, that would be all he wanted, and would acquit hint Guiteau had been engaged with his mail for some minutes, and here called out: “ I would like to have you know, ladies and gentlemen, that my letters now come addressed. ‘The Hon. Charles Guiteau,’ quite a change from last summer.” The witness was cross-examined by Reed, who produced a pamphlet, a report prepared by tbe witness as Superintendent of the Wisconsin Insane Asylum, and read extracts from it. During the reading a dispute arose between counsel, who seemed to have gradually developed a vast amount of bitterness. Guiteau shouted from the dock : “I want it understood that Judge Porter is making all this fuss and interrupts?fa siinply to divert the minds of the jury from the point which he sees that Reed has made against him. It simply shows a contemptible meanness that only such fellows as he and Corkhill can indulge Tbe cross-bxamifaation was continued by Scoville—with occasional outbursts on the part of the prisoner—until adjournment; '“He came here,” said Guiteau, “as an expert for the defense. That’s what he said when he was in my cell. But good living at Wiliard’s and Corkhill’s money have been too much for him.” Judge Cox, in rendering a decision on the application of Col. Corkhill to place Guiteau in the prisoners’ dock, explained why he had g’ven tbe assassin such latitude heretofore. e did not wish-even to appear to’ deprive the prisoner of auy of his constitutional guarantees. He wished also to give the jury aud the experts an opportunity of judging for themselves whether Guiteau was insane or not, aud for that reason gave the prisoner more latitude than he would otherwise allow. He decided that tbe prisoner should be placed in tbe dock, because he was manifestly abusing tbe privileges granted to him.

Confederate Bond Text.

As considerable interest has been aroused in regard to Confederate bonds, and as the majority of people are un acquainted with their terms, the following wording of a SI,OOO bond is given as a matter of infermation : “No. 7,403. First Series; “CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA, “Loan Authorized by Section 6 of February 17, 1864, Act of Congress. “On the first day ”f July, 1864, the Confederate States of America will pay to the bearer of this bond, at the seat of Government, or at such place of deposit as may be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury, the sum of one thousand dollars, with interest thereon at the rate of six per cent, per annum, payable semi-annually ou the first days of January and July in each year. “The Confederate States have, by an act approved Febriiary 1, 1864, enacted that the principal and interest whereof shall be free from taxation, and. for the payment of the interest thereon, the entire net receipts of any export duty hereafter laid on the value of all cotton, tobacco, and naval stores, which shall be exported from the Confederate States, and the net proceeds of the import duties now laid on so much thereof as may be necessary to pay annually the interest, are hereby specially pledged, provided that the duties now laid upon imports, and hereby pledged, shall hereafter be paid in specie or in sterling exchange, or in the coupons of said bonds. “In witness whereof the register of the treasury, in pursuance of the said act of Congress, hath hereunto set his hand and affixed the seal of the treasury, at Richmond, this Ist clay of March, 1864. E. Apperson, “For register of the treasury.” “Entered, R. B. S. Recorded, J. J. W.” On the left of the bond at a right angle with the body of the bond are the words, “One thousand dollars,” and on the right, “Six per cent, per annum.” Attached to the bond are sixty coupons, payable every six months, from January 1, 1865, to July 1, 1894. The coupons are as follows: “Loan under act of February 17, 1864. The Confederate States of America will pay to bearer thirty dollars for six months’ interest, due January 1, 1865, on bond 7,403, for SI,OOO. Ro. Tyler, Register,” except the dates, which, of course, are all different, beginning at January 1, 1865, and ending with July 1, 1894.

Garfield’s Attendants’ Bills.

There has been some guessing done as to the items which make up the bill of costs of President Garfield’s illness. “It can be stated now on good authority,” says a Washington telegram, “ that some of the items are as follows : To Dr. Agnew, $30,000. He charges $5,000 for the first operation. Dr. Hamilton’s bill is $25,000. Dr. Bliss ia content with SB,OOO, or about SIOO a day. Dr. Reyburn would probably take less, Bay $5,000 or $6,000. The army officers will be paid by brevet rank, and possibly increased pay. One question which remains to be settled touches the status of Drs. Boynton and Edaon. Both are physicians, and both took the duties of nurses. Shall they be paid as doctors or as mere attendants ? Dr. Boynton is a man of independent means, and might not care, apart from considerations of pride and etiquette. Mrs. Edson is comfortably well off, but would no doubt accept a liberal fee with gratitude. The services of Dr. Boynton and Mrs. Edson were of the greatest value, as it is notorious that the patient was kept alive more by careful nursing than any very intelligent surgery.”

Fatal Steamboat Explosion.

An explosion occurred at West Point, Va., on the steamer West Point, plying between that place and. Baltimore, which resulted in the total destruction of the boat and loss. of nineteen lives. A force of stevedores was engaged in discharging the cargo of the steamer, when a terrific explosion occurred near the forward hatch, blowing out the starboard side of the steamer and almost instantly enveloping the forward part of the vessel in flames. Thera were twelve colored men in the forward hold, all of whom, at her explosion, were killed or burned to death. Five other men jumped overboard and four were drowned. When it was found there was no hope of saving tbe steamer she was cut loose, and the tide drifted her two miles np the Pamunka river, where she continued to burn until everything combustible was destroyed and her iron hull broken in two amidships. Of the nineteen lives lost eighteen were cstored. Three others were injured.

Denmark has a law that other nations might well incorporate into their criminal cole. It provides for the punishment of persons who willfully refuse to succor persons, in case of death from wantof aid' In certain cases the omission even to afford aid is punishable. The law provides that “ whoever has refused to help another person in mortal danger, when he could have done so without peril to his own life, and that person has perished in consequence, shall be liable to either imprisonment or flne.7 Chicago handles about one-third of the entire forest pioduetsof the vasf pineries of the Northwest Millions of acres of timber lands in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Ipwa and Illinois ar© tributary to her.

NUMBER 49.

KEIFER’S COMMITTEES.

Experience and Fitness Ignored— Plans Being Discussed for Limiting the Speaker’s Powers. • [From the Chicago Times,] 2he more Mr. Keifer’s committees are examined, the more unsatisfactory the list is found to be. Both among the Democrats and Republicans, men of experience and prominence are relegated to obscurity, so far as the Speaker of the House can effect it. The fact that Mr. Kasson has no Chairmanship, and that Mr. Hewitt, of New York, one of the best-informed men in the country on finance, commerce and manufactures, is sentenced to two years in the Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds is but a sample of the treatment many prominent members have received. Geographically the committees appear worse than they do personally. As there are two or three times as many States as there are places on each committee, one State cannot get two or three places on the same committee without a manifest injustice to others, and in so large a country as this, with diverse interests in different sections, it is of importance that the representation of the States on the committees should be as nearly etpial as circumstances will permit. Yet Pennsylvania has three places on the Ways and Means Committee, New York has three on the Appropriations Committee, three places on the Committee on Territories, three places on the Pacific Railroad Committee, three places on the Claims Committee, and three places on the committee on the law regulating the election of President and Vice President, and Tennessee has three places on the Committee on Invalid Pensions. Here are seven Cases where three places on a committee are given to one State, and in five cases that State is New York. Of cases where a State, has two places on a committee there are no end. Ohio has two each on the following committees: Appropriations, Territories, Railroads and Canals, Pacific Railroads, Patents, Invalid Pensions, and Civil Service. New York has two places each cm seven committees. Pennsylvania has two places each on eight committees. This shows the predominance given to those three States, for other States rarely get two places apiece on a committee. On the Appropriation Committee, Ohio and New York have five places; in the Naval Committee, Massachusetts and New Jersey have four; on Territories, New York and Ohio have five; on Railroads and Canals, Pennsylvania and Ohio have four; on Manufactures, New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey have six; on Patents, Ohio and New York have four; on Invalid Pensions, Tennessee, Ohio and New York have seven; on the Census, New York, Indiana and Virginia have six places; on the committee on the law regulating the election of President and Vice President, New York and Pennsylvania have five places; and so on. Mr. Keifer seems to think that Congressmen from Now York, Pennsylvania and Ohio are school-girls who are afraid to find themselves unaccompanied, and so he has appointed them in couples and trios. The fact that in the Committee on Commerce the representatives of commercial centers are conspicuous by their absence is of a piece with the placing of three Tennesseeans on the Committee on Invalid Pensions, and three New Yorkers on the Committee on Territories. [Washington Telegram.] The House committees continue to be a most interesting subject here. The Democrats are very much disgusted at their assignments, as a rule. Atkins, formerly Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations, is put after Cox and Blackburn. Money, of Mississippi, who was Chairman of the Postoffice Committee of the last Conghess, is made second among Dem ocratsr—Springer, who has never served on the committee, being placed ahead of him. Whitthorne, who was Chairman of the Coinmittee on Naval Affairs, is not on that committee. Atkins threatens to refuse, to serve on the Appropriations and to suggest to the Speaker that he appoint a Pennsylvania member in his (Atkins’) place. Money talfis of declining to serve on the Postoffice Committee. In their disappointment and indignation, some of the members allege that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and other corporations wielded considerable influence in the formation of the committees. The Democrats say the Elections Committee is in the interest of the Republican contestants for seats from the South. They admit that there are several broad-minded Republicans on the committee, but maintain that Pettibone, of Tennessee; Jones, of Texas, and Paul, of Virginia—one a Southern Republican, one a Greenbacker and one a Readjuster—ought not to have been put in a position to pass judgment upon contested cases from the South. The Democratic opinion of these men is that they will be governed, more by prejudice than by anything else. Ope of the most prominent Democrats in the House says: “We regard the placing of Pettibone, Jones and Paul on the Election Committee as an indication that the Republicans intend to follow the advice given by soma of their organs, and increase their majority by summarily unseating Democrats vjiere the seats are contested. Now, formne, I am willing to give every couteded, case a fair, impartial apd judicial hearing. < My votes in the last three Congresses show that I have not been.governed by*partisauship in passing judgment upon* the contested casea The Democrats ‘will not submit to any outrage at> tiia>Muds of the Election Committee. We-hvill filibuster until'the tOrirfof the flirtyseventh Congress expires first. That is' our answer ; 'to the placing tit *tferee prejudiced men on the-Hi* ct ion Oettmittee because it w known they would vote to unseat every fcjoutjiqni no matter what the merits of the case might be.” * J There has beerir.o much dissatisfaction expressed by members over the make-up of the committees that it is not impgobable that a move will be made sometime this winter looking to more closely limiting and defining the duties of the Speaker of the House. Quite a number of mem; hers are in favor of taking away from the Speaker the arbitrary (power of appoint- , ing committees and arranging for their formation astir the Senate plan, through a caucus of the’npyorityi The Speaker’s power has grown to such extensive ptoEortions during the last ten years that e has become almost the sole arbitrator of legislation in the House. His will-at nearly any time can defeat legislation or shape it, and through nis make-up of the committees he is the- dictator of the policy of the majority.

THE TARIFF.

Arguments Which Protectionists Furnish to England. Senator Beek has received a letter from ex-Gov. Seymour, directing his attention to the effect that the policy of protection is likely to have upon the policy of foreign nations in their deal, ings with us. Touching this question Senator Beck said to a correspondent at Washington the other day: The taunts of the advocates of protection and restriction that we who advocate a revenue tariff are working in the interest of English free-traders, and that our policy would tend to destroy or to cripple American industries, are absurd. We could with far more justice charge that they have entered into a conspiracy with the landed aristocracy of Great Britain to break down the great measures which the people of that country, in the interest of labor and cheap exchange of products all over the world, have extorted from the privileged classes after years of struggle. Every protectionist is to that extent a prohibitionist. He insists that each nation ought, ns far as possible, to exclude the products of every other nation in order to protect home production. He taunts Englund, whose people buy 55 ]>er cent, of all our exports, with allowing our wheat, jxirk, beef, butter, cheese and other products of our farms to enter her forts duty free. He says to the English'* Fair Trailer:” “Discriminate against us if you aro Wise. Protect your home industries. No country or system of government can succeed that allows free competition.”

The American protectionist makes war on our export trade. His theory carried into effect tends to the ruin of our farmers while protecting manufacturers. Those laws of England which give ns an equal chance with her own colonists in her markets he in effect denounces, and it is to be remembered that all his arguments are heard and weighed as intelligently in Europe as they are here. A system that is enforced here and lauded as the best for this country must be, they might say abroad, the best for other countries. If the arguments and deductions of our protectionists should prevail in England, what would lie the effect upon us ? To illustrate; Leaving out of the question all her great colonial possessions in India, Australia and elsewhere, and her dependencies all over the world, England has great colonies on this continent whose people are entitled to Iter protection, if protection and restriction are to be again resorted to a» trtle national policy. 1 went to Winnipeg last summer and there saw a thriving city of 15,000 peoEle, with a railroad about finished to ,ake Superior. It was being pushed with great energy and abundant means Westward to, the Pacific ocean to reach the trade of Australia, Chius, J span and the Indies on English soil, with cheftp ships ready to furnish free goods for transportation over this continent to Europe. I went west of Winnipeg nearly 200 miles on that road and saw thousands and thousands of acres of wheat, Clearing forty bushels to the acre, weighing sixty-three and sixty-five pounds to the bushel, and was assured by undoubted authority that on Peace river, 1,200 miles northwest of where I was, wheat was being produced in immense quantity equal to the liest I saw in Winnipeg, while great herds of cattle were being fed without cost on as fine grassy land as the world affords. In short, between our northwestern line of 49 degrees and 54 degrees 40 minutes (Gen. Cass’ fighting point), there is a country owned by England with greater grain and stock-growing capacity than all the lands on the Baltic, the Black Sea and the Mediterranean Combined 1 ? The land laws of Canada are now as liberal as ours, as to the homestead pre-emption and free claims. People are crowding there rapidly, and towns are springing Up as if by magic. Their great railway will reach the Pacific at the grand harbor of Puget sound before our Northern Pacific will, and it will be extended eastward promptly to Montreal. The distance to Liverpool will be 000 miles shorter than any American line can get the wheat of Dakota there.. The best steel rails are being placed on the road, 100 tons to the inile, at $56 per ton, while on our parallel line of the Northern Pacific like rails (protected) cost about $70 —$1,400 a mile in rails alone in favor of the -Canadian Pacific, American protectionists not only tell English statesmen, but denounce of Us Who do not urge that policy, that it is their duty to protect Canadian products against American competition in England. 1 assert, without fear of successful contradiction, that if England takes their advice, and, in order to have “ fair trade ” and protect home industries, shall impose a tariff tex of 10 or 20 cents per bushel upon American wheat and other grains, allowing Canadian wheat and other products to enter her ports free, she cah bankrupt the termers of our Northwest. She can. by a like discrimination as to beef, pork, butter, cheese and other farm products, cripple, Ts not ruin, our farmers all over the country, because it is too apparent to need argument that, with our vast Milroad system and the agricultural lands developed by it, our own people capnot consume what our farmers produce. France and Germany are moving rapidly in the direction urged by American protectionists, and there is building Upsa party in England which is pressing warmly the same views as are held by ' American protectionists. The landed ■ aristocracy of-England is at'the back of this party, and, in their greed, the advocates of this policy may yet succeed in overthrowing and destroying the agricultural interests and prosperity of their country. No nation can find fault with even a high revenue tariff at our customhouses. Wo have come out of a great civil war; we are burdened with an enormous .debt which we are struggling to pay. That effort commends itself to all nations, and they do not seek to retaliate because of restrictions on their commerce imposed by us to obtain money to sustain our credit and develdp our resources ; but when they see a numerous and influential body ol men maintaining a policy of actual protection and restriction merely to ennch a class nt home, they may well pursue the same policy and Justify it by the position maintained here. . , Senator Beck’s views on this subject are practically those held by Gov. Seymdur. , Thbodore remarked, when Angelina’s father shoved him off the doorstep, that the old gentleman had considerable push about him.
