The trial OF Mrs. Alexander, the wo-
man who, with the man Bassett, is &C
c0sed Of killing the so-called "Stut-
sering Jack, at bridgeport, IN Con-
neotieut. in order to obtain his body
for sale to q medical college, has
brought out some Of the most extraor-
dinarS testimony ever listened to. The
murder, II will be remembered, Is &C
knowledged, the only point in dispme
being the woman's completely. She
alleges that her assistance in the crime
was gwen through fear and compul-
sion, while the prosecution contend
that her past history, her efforts to sell
other bodies for dissection, and the
fact that she is more than iorty years
old, while BAssett is only about twen-
Is 1--we. all point 10 her as the leading
spirit in the plot. She testified on
Wednesday in her own behalf, and
when asked what bodies she had been
trying to sell before she offered that OF
Jack, she acknowledged that one Of
them was the body OF one Of several
men whom she had married, and who
vas not yet dead. She calmly ex-
plelned that, because Of his intemper-
ate habits. she expected 10 find him
dead in the streets, although she had
not seen him in two years. Her own
testimony seemed to show that she
vas full participant in plot to sell
human bodies for dissection. and hest
sated a nothing IN obtaining them.
81 horrible scheme has NOT before
been laid bare IN an American court
room.

Little as he always has been, Hon.
Aleck Stephens has always had good
deal Of pluck. During q heated alter
cation in 1913 with Judge Gone, the
latter called Aleck o traitor. Stephens,
who was unsTmed, hit his installer
across the face with a small cane.
Cone, in rage, drew dirk knife,
and attempted to stab hIm to the
heart. Although large and muscular,
his puny opponent prevented the dead
ly thrust, but received eighteen OF
twenty wounds on different parts of
the body. Finally, Cone threw the
plucky little fellow down, and forcing
his head back to the fl Dor with his left
hand, as though he had been child,
he held the knife before his eyes, cry
ing, apologize, or I'll cut your -
throat" The laconic reply was, "Nev-
er. Cut away" The blade was de-
scending, when Stephens caught and
arrested it, nearly sgvering his hand in
the effort. Both men IN the struggle
got to their feet again, and were con-
tinuing the One-slied combat, when
common friends interfered and sepa-
rated them.

BANKERS, AUSTIN, TEXAS, 7

november 10. 1878.
The cotton market durlng the past
week has been without any decisive
character. Weak and lower in the
beginning, the market improved as the
days followed each other, only to re-
lapse again to-day into dizziness and
lower prices, for Liverpool came easier
st 1-32d decline for spot, with New
York and Galveston to follow. There
is nothing of sn encouraging nature to
report. Lancashire spinners are work
ing on short time, Manchester fabrics
are dull, and in our own country, Fall
River, Providence, Lowell and other
manufacturing centers continue to re-
port full stocks and slow sale for cloth
unless at decline. Ii the manufac-
turing interests at home and abroad are
IN such an unremunerative condition,
the financial outlook abroad is still
very gloomy, il not dark. Failures of
large and influential houses follow
each other Ia rapid succession, nor are
the failures at all connected with any
particular trade, but the leading indus
tries show long standing urproitable-
ness which the hard times now lay
bare.
The total receipts of cotton at all
the ports since September / to eighth
instant, amount to /. 1SS, 292 bales, for
1878, against 931, $50 bales for same
period in 1877, with exports and on
shipboard during this season Of 1875
amounting to OBI, 16G bales, leaving q
stock on hand of 557, 0G3 bales.
Oar market, under smaller receipts
and more active competition, is firm,
ct z lac for middling, and 6 ga to
@ Use for low middling, and IA to
6 1-2c for lower grades. As q rule
Austin has proven better market than
either Galveston or New York, except
for large operators, who sell their cot
ton firm to arrive IN 100 bale lots either
in Houston, Galveston or New York.
Shipments, ''all RAIL-" to New York
take . month to get there, and ten or
fifteen days more to sell, so that no
calculation can be made what cotton
shipped to New York will bring either
in profit or in loss, and shippers have
ssto 90 il blind"

~ by the first Of January, 1879. A dis
furbing element to proper resumption
arises in the silver dollar of our dad
dies, which becomes legal tender for
any greenbacks that msS be offered to
the United States Treasurer for ex-
change. According to law, Secretary
Sherman can, on the first of January,
pay either gold or silver dollars, and
from the yacillating policy of the Hon.
Secretary and the past manipulations
of the Treasury ring, we have no
doubt that certain fayorites will get
the gold, whilst the plebians will get
the dollars of the daddiss. One hun
dTed dollars IN silver are, however,
worth but $50 in gold, so the recipient
of dollars will be loser, and silver
dollars must sell at q discount, unless
the Secretary pays out no silver dol
lars at all.
The people begin to sec the folly of
the whole silver business, and an adj
ditional proof is furnished that the
laws of commerce are more powerful
than the combined wisdom 90 of

The Congress of these United States.
