The scale of prices paid the printers in the government printing office previous to the reduction of 1877 has been restored.

John C. New is mentioned as the probable successor of the late John D. Evan*, as president of fbe Mutusl Union Telegraph Company.

Justice Gray, ol the supreme court, arrived in Washington on Saturday and took hia seat on the bench yesterday. He will be dined by Senator Hoar this evening, and Justice Bradley will honor him in a like manner to-morrow.

Under the existing law the manufacturer of tobacco is required to put his name on each plug manufactured and put up for sale. A bill was intoduced in the house of representatives yesterday which makes it optional with the manufacturer whether he shall put hia name on his goods or not.

The anti-polygamists do not look with favor upon the appointment of Mr. Sargent to a cabinet position. They charge that it was through his influence that the governor of Utah signed the notorious women suffrage law, which gave to the Mormon church four times the number of votfs which it previously had, aud that he was the principal obstacle in the way of Frelinghuvsen's bill, which was the only really effective plan of dealing with the Mormon question.

Sargent's friends still claim that they have assurance that he is going into the cabinet, but the delay in sending his name to the senate leads many to belidve that the nomination will not be m»de at all, The old recommendation that he is the only man who would be acceptable to the people of the Pacific coast has exploded, and he is now running on his merits. The proppectof his nomination is not viewed with satisfaction in any quarter, which makes his opponents hope that the president will reconsider his decision, if he has made one, to make the appointment.

Congressman Calkins, for the Michigan City district, has commenced to loom as a candidate for governor in 1884. The Valparaiso Herald, a democratic paper published at Mr, Calkins' old hoAe, says of him:

Several of our exchanges seem to think that Bon. W. H. Calkins is laying the wires for the governorship of Indiana. We cannot say whether there is any truth in the reports or not, but w* will cay that should Major Calkins lay his wires successfully, Indiana has had several worse, and w« think few better governors thau Major Calkins would prove himself to be. He is an upright, consistent and honest man—energetic and determined in whatever he undertake*. If there Is a republican who can carry the State at the next election, Major Calkins xaay be considered the man, and should he get the nomination, the democrats will find him a very hard man to beat.

Public Printer Defrees has been paying hia rsspeots to Senator Plumb at a lively rate. It appears that the senator said something derogatory of Mr. Defrees which appeared in print, and when an explanation was demanded the senator returned an evasive answer. Mr. Defrees' letter concludes in this style: "You thus stand before all honorable men eelf-con-victed of having falsely boasted that you had grossly insulted, without cause end in a manner becoming the lowest blackguard, a man almost thirty years older than yourself. I am very sure that those acquainted with me will regard the paragraph as a lie upon its face, as they know that I do not cringe to any one, and that such an insult would have bsen resented on the spot."

The territorial legislature of Utah consists of a legislative council of twelve, and a house of representatives of twenty-five members. Every member of both branches is Mormon, and nearly all hold high positions in the church. In the npper branch, with two exceptions, the members are polygamists, each being furnished with from two to six wives. In tht lower house nineteen of the twenty-Bix members ara polygamists, and are as numerously provided with wives as their brethren of the npper branch.' This is in violation of the law of congress, and fails to carry out the statement recently made that polygamy in Utah is dying out. All the facts in the caw have be«n carefully prepared and are now before congreae. If the curse can be stamped cut it is be hoped congrett will adopt decided measure to bring about the desired end.

BICHABB HENRI DANA.

This well known advccate diet! at Rome Italy, on Saturday last, In hia aixtysevrnth year, having been in August, 1815, at Cambridge, Massachusetts. Ha cams of a prominent family, his grandfather, Francis Dans, having been chief justice rf Massachusetts. Hia father, R. H. Dana, lawyer and poet, died about two years ago at the age of ninety-two. The eoo eotered Harvard college in 1832, but Buffering from weakness of the eyes, he khipped as a common sailor and went round C»pe Horn to California, then tin »lcsoBt ur.kuown land. The voyage he dUcribed in his "Two Years before the Meat." He afterwards returned to Harvard and graduated in 1837. He waa a member of the Dane law school from 1SS7 to 1840. He was admitted to the £-.aton bar in 1840, and waa directly much employed in the admiralty courts, having been naturally led to pay special :t ention to martime and commercial law. He published the "Seaman'e Friend" in 1841, which was republished in England as the "Seaman's Manual." Mr. Dana's practice increased until be became one of the leading advocates, and he had a larger than usual proportion of cased of public interest among others the well-known reinvestigation of the presumption of murder from homicide, in York's case, 1845, which led to the new enactments on the general subject in a number of states on the legal right to require the use of the Bible in tha common schools of Maine, in 1854 on the canon law of the Episcopal church, in the Revt Mr. Pretcott's cases, 1852 in the title tt public aad religious charities, in the case of the Presbyterian synod «*. the parish of the late Dr. Channing, 1854 in the numerous trials lor the rescue of the slave Shadrack in 1853, and in the still more noted cose of Anthony Burns in 1854 during the five years he was district attorney, commencing in 1861, for Massachusetts, he argued every prise case that came up in his district, and in connection with Hon. Wm. M. Evarts, argued the prize cases before tha United States supreme court he drew up the prize act of 1864, which repealed all prior legislation on the subject, and completed a prize code for the United States, and he acted as counsel for the United States in the proceedings against Jefferson Davis for treason in 1867-68. His political coursa was one of considerable mark, He was one of the founders of the free soil party, a delegate from Boston to the Buffalo convention of 1848, and a popular speaker in that and the republican movement of 1856. He was one of the ablest members of the Massachusetts constitutional convention of 1853, and his speeches in that body havo received high praiee both at home and abroad. He advocated the election of Lincoln in 1860 and 1864, and that of Qrant in 1868 and 1872. President Grant nominated him as minister to England, but he was rejected by the senate. In 1868 he was a candidate for congress against General Butler and was defeated. He was the friend and champion of Mr. Bristow in the Republican national convention of 1876, and nominated that gentleman for the presidency.

The "Two Years Before the Mast," by which Mr. Dana is so well known, is tha ship and shore life of a cdmmon sailor detailed from personal experience by a man of education. It gained at once both in this country and England a popularity that may be compared to "Robinson Crusoe." It is also a trustworthy authority on a subject of some importance, the distinctive character of the American merchant service. For many years previous to his death Mr. Dana waa a member of the Episcopal convention of the diocese of Massachusetts. He was a man of rare purity of character, and hit loss will be widely regretted.

EDWUf W. 8TOUGHTON.

Hon. Edwin W. Stoughton, of New York, who has been sick some weeks with a complication of diseases, died Saturday afternoon. He was born May 1, 1880, and after receiving a common school education, learned the trade of •hoemaking. In 1837 he went to New York to study law, and soon reached a high rank in the profession, being counsel in a number of distinguished patent cases. He was a strong democrat up to 1874. When President Grant dispersed the Louisiana legislature Stoughton appeared as the defender of that act, and from that time was a republican. He was one of the "visiting statesmen" to Louisiana in 1876, and appeared as one of the republican counsel before the electoral commission. President Hayes appointed him minister to Russia, where he remained two years. On his return he became a third termer, and was one of the delegates at the Chicago convention and an active lieutenant of Conkling's. During the prosecution of Philp for the Morey letter forgery he was one of counsel, but haa not been prominent since. Mr. 8toughton was a man of rather singular appearance, having a very rosy complexion and a large busby head of white bair, which made him look very much like an Albino. His manners were exceedingly suave, and he impresHed a casual acquaintance as a man of very kind disposition. He will be buried at his birth-place.

The surplus fuqd in the treasury for the six months ending December 31,1881, was $70,235,079, against $39,964,744 for the corresponding six months of 1880, an increase of $39,275,334 in favor of 1881. During the coming six months the reduction of the interest account will be larger, for the reasons that the debt has been reduced rapidly and the rate of interest decreased. When the question of reducing taxation cornea up for consideration the extent of the surplus fund will have much to do in forming the opinions of congressmen.

The night manager of the American District Telegraph Company's office in Washington has been shot by one of the meseeager boys. It appears that the manager had bsen in the habit of subjecting the boy to all aorta of torment, amounting to persecution, nntil he could •tand it no longer, and he fired two shots at his tormentor, one' of which penetrated the eye, scd the other merely grazed the nose. The general vardict seems to be

that it sorted him right.

WHERE TJTET COME FBOM.

It will be remembered that some time in the month of May last, the senate passed a resolution calling upon tfce heads of departments to furaiah rolls of the names o! employee in eacb, and showing also the state and congressional district to which each is charged, sex and color of employes, and who among tbem served in the rfguular or volunteer service during the rebellion. The treasury department complied with the resolution some time ago, and now the interior department comes forward with this statement Alabama S Arkansas 9 Colorado ...... 11 California 14 CoanecUcut 39 Bela waie 8 Georgia 14 Illinois 71 Indiana Kansas v.*.* 24 Kentucky 14 Louisiana 9 Maine St Maryland.,... 78 Ka*sa husetts 42 Michigan 69 Minnesota 31 Mississippi 11 Missouri 31 Nebraska 9 Neva'.a 2 Sew Hampshire 21 New Jersey 33 New York 189 North'Carolina

Washington Territory.. 1 This list makes a total of 1,691 names en the rolls, of which number 1,343 are males, 342 females, 113 colored. In the small army 443 state that they served in the army. The south, including the states of Mieeouri, Kentucky, West Virginia and Maryland, fiirnieh 331 of the names enrolled in the grand army of office holders, and if the states named are exempted the number is reduced to 193. The District of Columbia comeB in for the lion's share, however, and furnishes about 22 per cent, of the total. New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and the District of Columbia, furnish a little more than onehalf of the total. Indianaj the sixth state in the Union, has only thirty-three appbintmentu, while Maine, which stands twenty-seventh in the list of states, exceeds that number by three. The division is very unequal, and changes should be made. It is both unfair and unjust that the District of Columbia should be allowed to monopolize so much in all the departments of the government. The proportien should be cut down, and the surplus allowed to go west and grow up with the country.

This is election year in this state, and under the constitution as amended in 18S0, it will be held in November. Already the politicians have commenced to agitate. The feeling in favor of Bhort campaigns seems to be growing in favor it is less expensive to candidates and more desirable generally. In speaking on the subject the Indianapolis Times soys:

Our republican state exchanges are generally advocating late county conventions, on the ground that long political campaigns are expensive and tiresome, and the public interests are apt to fare better in a late than in an early convention. We cordially concur in this view. The people are not interested in having protracted political campaigns, and in a great majority of instances where eariy conventions are called, it is done in the interest of particular candidates or rings. Hereafter all our general elections will be held in November, and there is no reason why county conventions should be held more than about two months prior to the election. A good time for these conventions is the latter part of August or early part of September, when the rush of summer work is over and the farmers can give some attention to politics.

THE ASSASSIN.

Continuation of the Arguments on the Law Points—Guitsau Opens Court as Usual.

ScoviUe and Porter again mak* a Display of Lack of Brotherly HbmMiii Love,

Corkhlll Discusses the Question of Jurisdlcticn and Davidge winds up the Day.

Porter to Close the Discossien this Moraine, and thea Judge Cox will be Heard from.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—Guiteau arrived at the court house about half past nine aod was taken to the waiting room. He Appeared rather nervous and his coun tcnance indicated anxiety. When he bad taken his seat in the dock he glanced around stealthily over the audience and immediately began a harangue, evidently intended for thejuiy. "I have received,' he said, 'some 800 letters, a great majority of them from ladies. When I get time I shall attend to them. I want to send my greetings to the ladies of Amerfca and thank them for their sympathy. They don't want me to be hanged. Public opinion is fast changing. I received on Saturday a check fer $1000 from the Stalwarts of Brooklyn and another for $500 from the Stalwarts of New York, want this jury to understand how public opinion is on this case." A bailiff here tried to silence him when he turned upon him in the most vicious manner and snarled out, "You keep quiet and mind your business." Do not interfbre with me when I am talking. If you bad any sense you would understand your place." With this opening breeze the proceedings in due form were begun and Scoville resumed his argument.

Scoville proceeded without interruption for an hour. His remarks were listened to with marked attention. He laid special stress upon the propositions that insane men often know the difference between right and wrong and for that rea son conceal their plans that the benefit of the doubt should attach to the plea of insanity when raised with the same forco as when urged in connection with tho commission of a crime. His allusion to the decision of Judge Davis wh« went out of his way, he said, to pass upon something not involved in the ease he was then considering, brought Judge Porter to his feet with the indignant reply that the charge was false.

Scoville retorted that the opinion of a man who sat on the same bench with a Barnard and a Cardoza should not be received with muoh consideration.

Judge Porter with even mere vehemence reiterated that the charge of the counsel was absolutely false that Judge Davis never sat on the bench with cither of the gentlemen named. If an honorable member of the Federal Judiciaryjis to be put upon trial here I demand said Judgej Porter,*that|the record be produced hero upon, which this base charge is made.

Scoville insisted that when the style of proceedings best suited to a police court were introduced here by the prosecution he should commend upon them as he deemed fitting. He should not be frightened byfthe tragic utterances of Judge Porter. He had heard the same notes years ago from owles at uight in tl\e woods of Ohio.

Guiteau laughed and called out snceringly, "That's a very .fine speech, Mr. Porter."

Davidge protested that not five minutes had been devoted to a proper sebpe of the argument, and the Court warned counsel that they must abstain from personalities.

Scoville concluded his argument at 12 o'clock, and in conclusion desired to make a few remarks of a personal character. Alluding to his controversies with Judge Porter he disclaimed any intention to transgress the bounds of propiiety or rules of practice, but he should criticise the conduct of counsel when it merited criticism and the threats of the prosecution would not intimidate him. Citing the custom of the counsel upon the other side of bowing to the jury upon enteaing, Scoville said, "Sometimes it is three bows all around, sometimes more, never less. It has never been done by counsel upon this side, and I do not hesitate to criticise the propriety of it."..

Judge Porter—"The gentleman is simply instancing his lack of politeness. If he has no apology to offer I shall certainly not apologize for him."

Recess. After recess COrkhill slatod that he had not expected to speak on the legal points, relying upou the assurance of the defense that the question ol jurisdiction would not be raised but as the last two prayers of defense distinctly made that issue he felt it his duty as tho prosecuting officer of the government to address the court upon the question, to which he had devoted much careful consideration. He then pro ceded to read from printed slips an .. austive argument upon the the subj of jurisdiction. The argument iupied the attention of the court one hour.

Davidge then addressed the court upon the general propositions contained in the prayer. "I do not deem it necessary,' he began, 'to advert to the question of jurisdiction at this time." "A very wise decision," piped in the prisoner. Davidge then discussed the question of malice, which he said, in its legal .sense, meant the intentional doing of a wrongful act.

Davidge discussed seriatim the prayers of the defense, and pointed out their sophistry and inconsistencies. "The object of the prosecution," he Baid, "is to obtain from your Honor a plain, clear and direct" ruling upon four distinct propositions. The apparent object of the defense has been to befog all that may be clear in this case, in the vain hope that they may get to the jury with some uncertainty attached in some way in the case, ujon which to build a plea for acquittal. Why, you Honor, in a course of thirty years, practice I have never seep such a prayer as this one offer-, ed by the defense. It has no justification, it has no excuse. We don't want obscurity in this matter, we want light we don't mean to let this

firieoner

escape in a cloud, but we want

rom your Honor a clear and perspicuous ruling, so that twelve average men sitting upon the jury cannot possibly go astray." Davidge severely handled the eleventh and twelfth prayers of the defence and characterized them as mean attempts to cast aspersions upon the experts who had testified for the prosecution, and upon the counsel for the prosecution themselves.

The prisoner followed the argument with the closest attention, and indulged in frequent and noisy comments. Davidge concluded his argument at five minutes to 3 o'clock. The Court then adjourned nntil to-morrow morning.

Judge Porter will make the concluding argument immediately upon the opening of court to-morrow, after which Judge Cox will render his decision.

NO OOOi.

WASHINGTON,January9.—Scovillesays the drafts for sums amounting to $1,500, received by Guiteau on Saturday, were worthless, and sent by some practical joker. It is not the firht time during the trial that each a thing has occurred. Scoville himself has had worthless checks sent to bim, one for $15,000.

The morning hour was extended id dispose of Hoar's pending resolution for a select committee on the rights of woman, to whom are to be referred all petitions and resolves relating to woman suffrage. Bayard's motion to refer to the judiciary committee was votrd down—ayes, 27 noes, 31. A vote was taken aud the resolution adopted by ayes, 85 noes, 23, the affirmative vote being very largely Republican.

Oa motion of Sherman, his bill to provide for the iisuc of 3 per eentum bonds was taken up without a formal vote

Vest offeied an amendment, whicn was ordered printed, adding to the bill a section identical with the fifth or compulsory section of the vetoed 3 per cent, bill of last session, but modified to cover provisions for $200,000,000. It makes the bond the sole fer bank circulation.

Sherman aaid thai in view of the very fuli discussion of the gtr»eral propositions of the bill in the debates UpC" the vetoed measure last session, and as he believed that every Senator had made up his miad on it, he would confine himself to a brief statement of a few facts, and hoped before the day ended that a decisive vote would be taken, and the bill passed or defeated. Tho bill presented, except 83 to details, a purely business question, whether it was advisable or not to extend at a lower rate the time for the payment of any portion of the debt that now stands redeemable at the pleasure of the government. There were now $551,186,700 of bonds redeemable and unpaid, and the bill would offer a 3 per cent, bond, redeemable after five years at the pleasure of the government, and at par with coin, in order with the money to par off the $200,000,000 of the 3j per cent, extended bonds. The only expense involved. would bs the printing of the bonds, and this would cost no more than did the printing of the 3J per cents. The sinking fund ordinarily would probably absorb in five years about $250,000,000, having about $300,000,000 unprovided for at the end of that period. It was true the surplus revenues were large, and that this year, that fund would more than meet the requirements of the sinking fund, but in view of pending question of reduction of taxation, tariff revision and arrearages of pensions outlay, it would seem that not more than $200,000,000 could bo safely counted on as being paid oti within the next five years. As providing an attempt at a margin, the committee had left $350,000,000 unprovided for. Saving one-half of one per cent, would amount to $1,000,000 per year, or a total of $5,000.000, while the bill would establish a rate of interest as low as any ever known in any country in the world. Ii we Bell our three per cents, at par, we do better than any country haa yet done, because England, when she sold her three per cents, at par, always gave additional guarantee in the nature of disccunt or bounty. He had no doubt the bonds would be readily taken up. His objection to Vest's amendment was that the Government ought to require for bank notes outstanding a higher form of security, and to deny to the banks the right to purchase four per cants, and compel them to buy three per cents, did not seem to be a wise thing for the security of noteholders. An additional consideration was this: That the credit of the Government being now established, it was under no obligation to compel anybody to buy its bonds.

The discussion w?s continued at some length by McPherson and Biyard, the latter of whom was in favor of letting the matter alone, without any funding bill, and finally the amendments reported by the committee were agre, dto: and Vest obtained the floor, pending whose remarks the Senate ttrent into executive session, and when the doora leopened, adjourned.

THf HEW YORK SUN

The Sun for 1832 will make its fifteenth annus revolution under the present management, shining, as always, for all, big and little, mean and gracious, contented and unhappy, Republic ca» and Democratic, depraved and'rirtuous, in' tellieent and obtuse. The Sun's light is for mankind and womankind of every soit but its genial warmth is /or the good, while it pours hot discomfort on the blistering backs of the per si8tently wicked.

The Sun of 1868 was a news paper of anew kind. It discarded many of thu forms, and a multitude of the superflous words and phrases of ancient Journalism. It undertook to report in a fresh, succinct, unconventional way all the news of the world, omitting no event of human interest, and commenting upon affairs with the fearlessness of absolute Independence. The success of this experiment was the success of It effected a permanent change in the style of American newspapers. Every important Journal established in this country in the dozen years past has been modeled after the Sun. Every important journal already existing has been modified and tattered by tho foro* of The 8un's example.

The 8un of 1862 will be the same outspoken, truth-telling, and interesting newspaper. By the liberal use of tho means which an abundant prosperity affords, w(5 Shall make it better than ever before.

We shall print all the iiews. putting it into readable shape, and measuring its Importance, not by the traditional yardstick, but by its real ID Veres to the people. Distance from Printing House Square is not the first consideration with the Sun. Whenever anything happens worrh reporUng we get the particulars, whether it happens in Brooklyn or in Bokhara.

A politics we have decided opinions and are accustomed to express them In language that can be understood. We say what we think about men and events. That habit is the.'only cretsa the Sun's poliUcal course

The Weekly Sun gathers into eight pages the best matter of the seven daily issues. Aii Agricultural Department of unequalled merit, full market reports, and ft liberal proportion ol lit•r*ry, scientific, and domestic intelligence complete the Weekly Sun, and make it the best uewtipaper for tho farmer's household that was veer printed.

Who does not know and read and like the Sunday 8un, each number or whi is a Golsonda of interesting literature, with the best poetry of the day, prose, every line worth reading news, humor—matter enough to nil a good-" sized book, and infinitely more varied and entertaining than any book, big or little

If our idea Of what a newspspef should be pleases you, send for the Pan. Our terms are as iollows:

For the Dsily Sun, a four-page sheet of twentyeight columns, tho price by mail, post paid, is OS cents a month, or »O.BO a year, of, Including the Sunday paper, an eight page sboetoi flityliicolumns, the prico is 63 cents per month, or 7 70aye#r, postage pei£.
