What Did Mary say2"

A lawyer is responsible for the fol-
lowing story:
During the trial of man named Cog
zell, for kidnapping, an incident occur
red which created considerable me
ment at the expense of judges and coun-
sci. A Miss Sloan was giving evidence,
and was requested to state all she knew
about certain transaction.
Witness; 1 was in the sitting room
when Mary came in from the kitchen
hurriedly and Gogzell after her. He
caught hold of her at the sitting-room
door and said:
g Mary, you have been here long
enough; come and go home now."
Counsel: " What did Mary say ?''
Counsel for the Prosecution |" Stop
there object to that question"
Here heated discussion of nearly two
hours took place, in which four lawyers
participated, after which the learned
judge gave long and serious harangue
on the subject, and finally in very
formal and pompous manner, stated
that it was the opinion of the Court that
the question should be answered. The
Court was by this time crowded to suf-
location, and the most intense interest
was manifested at this stage of the pro-
ceedings. The question was then re-
peated amid breathless silence What
did Mary say ?" and the witness an
swered simply, "She didn't sav a
word"

THE BRITISH MARKETS.

Weekly Review of tn Mark Lane Express
Holders Firm, But Limited Transactions
Favor Buyers.
LONDON, Oct. 25.-The Mark Lane Express
in its weekly review of the British grain trade
says: Wintery weather has retarded sowing,
but has, however, favored threshing, which
reveals the fact that of the large bulk of wheat
harvested in exceptionally good condition,
very material portion has since been damaged
in the stack by rains. Seed wheats are conse-
quently saleable at much over the ordinary
market quotations. Supplies of homegrown
wheat are small, ard coed samples are more
readily saleable. Other qualities are even
duller than previously. Best English -four ia
scarce and com paratively dear Barley firm.
The foreign grain trade has shown some weak
ness and uncertainty. The wheat cargo trade
became dull Tuesday in consequence
of cable advices from America of large ship
ments at lower prices. This tendency con-
tinued and altogether bresdstuffs were firmly
held, but very limited transactions favored
buyers. Floar supported Monday quotation
in consequence of the steady consumptive de-
msnd. Barley met healthy demand, but the
cargo trade was trifie easier Saturday. Oats
are weaker. Maize firmly held; quantity on
passage increasing, but the supply off coast
and in granary is only equal to the consump-
tive demand. Prices in London generally re-
main stationary and firm. Round Germ is,
however, scarce and improved ut Sd per quar-
ter. Sales of English wheat during he week
Al ,031 quarters at AIS Sd, against 1857 quar-
tiers at 49s 10d the corresponding week of last
wear. Imports into the United Kingdom dur
ing the week ending Oct. 16, were 1872, 263 cwt.
wheat and 2l9, 403 cwt. -four.

The latest local dodge of the Republicans
is to attempt by resort to the Republican
supreme court to disfranchise large portion
eff the voters of this city. Proceedings were
begun yesterday to vitiate the registry in
the Second ward. The distinguished legal
luminary named Haas, who rode all over a
brass band the other night, and whose name
should be pronouced with the first letter 81
lent, is the party put forward to bring the
action. The election law in this city applies
to no other place in the State save Mime
spolis. There is no objection to its proper
enforcement, SO long as it is the law, but it
should be applied to both cities alike. It is
onerous and exacting, and designed to be a
Republican club, and the Republican cour.
is expected to act in partisan manner. We
simply wish to- call the attention of Mime.
apolis Democrats to these proceedings, and
urge them to apply the law in that city as the
Republicans apply it here.

GARFIELD IND THE ELECTORAL
CONFUSION.

COMMISSION.
There is one thing in Mr.. Garfeld's REQ
ord that should not be forgotten by the
honest voters of the country-the part he
took in the larceny of the Presidency nearly
four years ago. When the news of Demo-
cratic victory in Louisiana reached the
North he, with others of his party, was dis
patched to New Orleans for the purpose of
devising ways and means by which the re-
suit might be reversed. He engaged active
ly in the work, prepared afidavits of intim-
idation and illegal voting, saw that they
were signed and sworn to, and had them
placed before the returning board. He re-
fused to listen to those who were prepared
to prove that those who signed the affidavits
were guilty Of perjury in alleging illegal
practices, but permitted only these perjured
and purchased afidavits to 60 before the re-
turning board or the country.
His scheme of villainy completed. Mr..
Garfield returned to Washington and re-
sumed his seat in Congress. When the to
Z electoral commission bill was proposed he
opposed its adoption because it would give
the commission the right to go behind the
face of the returns, and he we'll knew that if
this was done his own rascality would be ex-
posed. The bill passed, however, and Gar
field was appointed one of its members. In
this capacity he took precisely the opposite
ground from that which he has assumed in
| the House, insisting that the bill gave the
commission no power to 60 behind the re
turns. In this view he was sustained by
seven of his PARTISAN associates, and thus
the scoundrelly conduct of the returning
board and of the visiting statesmen was
kept from exposure for time.
The larceny of the Presidency
was completed through Garfeld's
agency, though he we'll knew that Hayes was
no more entitled to the Office than was the
other defeated candidate, Peter Cooper.
This is the honest man and Christian
statesman who is held up by the Republican
party for the alteration of the faithful. His
crime includes not only the rascality perpe-
trated at New Orleans but duplicity and per-
jury, for when he accepted the appointment
on the electoral commission he swore that
he would honestly and truly consider the ev-
idence and render judgment accordingly.
Such man is not fit to occupy the Office of
chief magistrate of the republic, for the PEG.
pie have no assurance that he would prove
faithful to the trust reposed in him.
