Guiteau's Counsel.

Recent dispatches announce that Judge
Cole, of the District Court of the District
of Columbia, has appointed Leieh Robin
son, Esq, of the firm of Elliott & Robin
son, of Washington city, to defend
Guiteau. Mr.. Robinson is of a distin-
guished Virginia family, and was gal
liant Confederate soldier throughout the
late war. He is an alumnus of the Uni
versity of Virginia, where he was
acknowledged to be one of the brightest
intellects in that concourse of Southern
youth, and since the war he has attained
high position in the practice of his
profession in Washington.
A prominent trait of Mr. Robinson
character is his aversion to anything
like notoriety, but he is the very soul of
honor and possessed of the highest sense
of professional duty. If, in obedience
to the mandate of the court, he should
undertake the defense of Guiteau, it is
not too much to say that the assassin
will have been provided with as able
and conscientious counsel as there is in
the country.
Mr.. Robinson is warmly esteemed by
his college friends in Georgia, from one
of whom we obtain the above informa-
ton concerning him.

The Greenville IS. O. Neros says: CA
letter has been received in this city from
Thos. L. Brayton, Revenue Collector for
this State, levying an assessment for the
aid of MahOne's mongrels in Virginia on
the deputy collectors. gaugers and store
keepers. The first are required, or re-
quested, TO give ten dollars each, and
the others five dollars each. The same
letter states that Chief Revenue Collec.
lector Raum has contributed one hundred
dollars and Brayton himself twenty five

The recent performances OF the state
Department in the matter Of the Panama
Canal will, doubtless, excite hurrah
from the admirers of the gentleman who
has essayed the role so honorably filed
by our Websters and Claytons. As a
ssmple of devotion to the Evolutionary
Monroe Doctrine" it might beget regret
on the part of some that the distinguish
ed Secretary of State is not infatuated
with other cherished convictions of the
illustrious Virginian.
James Monroe was broad-mlnded
statesman, and, however averse he might
have been to the idea of European doml-
nation on the American continent, ne
was too public spirited to stand in the
way of an enterprise that would benefit
the civilized world. There can be no
Doubt that were he living he could
give as c6gent reasons for non-interfer-
ence with NJ. De Lesseps as he did for
discouraging foreign advances on this
hemisphere. Placed in the position of
Mr. Blame. or any of the distinguished
statesmen who suggested or approve his
recent proceedings, the first question he
would ask himself, if persuaded that
De Lesseps meant business, would, prob
ably, be what are you going to do
about tt" 1t would not take long
to satisfy him that RObeson's legacy OF
tubs would be nowhere beside the armor-
ed navies of Europe, and that foreign
soldiers would enjoy quite as good health
on the Isthmus as our own volunteers
fresh from the shop and the plough.
We can view with disfavor European
investments on this side of the Atlantic.
but that won't help us if the capital
of Europe is backed up with Krupp
guns and turret ships. The opposition
to the canal is farcical. We can't or
won't build ourselves, and don't want
any one else to do so. If Colombia and
the great powers of Europe wish to Sc
cure additional guarantees to those con
tanned in the treaty of 1S48. they will
very likely do so, and no amount OF
diplomatic bulldozing from the Ameri-
can State Department will brighten them.
If Colombia and the powers propose
such course, instead of instructing Mr..
Lowell to amuse Lord Granville by his
wordy protests, it were better to let him
see to it that we obtain a share of the
benefits projected by the negotiations.
As we can't run the canal, the best
thing for US is to see about fair treatment
in its use. We can earn the admiration
of Europe, but we are not in position
to scare her.

Sergeant Haryey's Family.

The apparently small sums which
have. from time TO time, been reported
in these columns as having been collected
for the relief of the widow and child of
the late Sergeant H. II. Harvey, who re-
Gently lost his life in protecting the pro-
perty and lives of our citizens from the
fury of a mob, is no Indication of luke
warmness or lack of appreciation of
the sacrifice to duty made by that gallant
officer. The various committees ap-
pointed to solicit subscriptions to the
fund are still busily engaged in their
labors, and so far as We have heard
scarcely person in the entire city has
refused to contribute according to his
ability. In a few days we hope to re-
ceive reports from several of the most
important committees, and then the sum
already published will, we doubt not, be
largely augmented.
1t would be indeed strange if the
movement did not meet with a lib
eral response from our citizens. The
obligations of any community to an
active and vigilant police force cannot
be too highly estimated, for they stand
ever a constant protection to the citizens,
and guard against violence, lawless-
ness and rapine. No one better under
stood the grave responsibility resting
upon him, nor was always more ready
to meet that responsibility-even with
his life, as the result proved-than was
the brave officer whose death we now
deplore. Confronted at critical
moment by an angry, excited mob, with
all their worst passions infamed with
drink and evil counsel, he, realizing that
1t would never do to hesitate, but that
the slightest delay in acting, or the least
evidence of nervousness, would en-
courage that mob to rapine, destruction
and murder, without regard to personal
consequences, and only actuated by a
sense Of the duty he owed to his fellow
citizens, rushed in to quell the riotous
demonstration. 1t was we'll for our city
that he did so. He lost his own life, it
is true, but he showed that mob what
even one determined man could do, and,
swed by his bravery, they did not dare
to carry out their infamous plans
That his widowed wife and orphaned
child, who have thus lost their main
stay and support, should be regarded by
the citizens of Savannah as being, to a
certain extent, wards of the people, is
most natural. They should be placed
above the reach of want, not only as evil
dence Of the appreciation our people
have for the gsllantry which did SO
much to save them from bloodshed and
wholesale destruction of property, but
as encouragement to others, who might
possibly be called upon in the future to
confront similar emergencies, to do their
duty with the same conspicuous gal
lantry, as that manifested by Sergeant
Harvey. We would be pleased to sec
the city of Savannah, if it could be done,
grant a liberal pension to the family OF
the man who died in her defense. AS il
is not probable, however, that such &C
ton can legally be taken, we sincerely
trust that all our law abiding citizens OF
all classes will see to it that his wife and
child do receive a substantial token OF
the gratitude and appreciation of oul
| people.

Prominent New York capitalists are
about completing negotiations for the
purchase of 100000 acres of land
belonging to the Florida Land Company.
The price to be paid is 81 per acre, and
the purchasers are to have the privilege
of taking 100000 additional acres.
The original purchase was 100000
acres, Cor which twenty-five cents per
acre was paid The sales of the first
million acres to the New York capitalists
will pay for the whole purchase; So, 900
900 upon the other 100000 acres will
be clear profit, and the original pur-
chasers will retain 100000 acres at
practically no cost. The names of the
New York capitalists who have become
interested in the lands will be made
known next week.

are now favoring the application Of the
same rule to David Davis.

All the rice arriving at San Francisco
from the Hawaiian Islands has been sold,
or nearly all, and the market remains
firm at &c. 1t has advanced rapidly from
&c. not very long since. The Journal
of Commerce of that city says: There
is room for further improvement in the
market. Last year at this time the total
,mnorts of rice had been SO, SIS, Oil lbs,
as against IS, m. 100 lbs. this year; while
the imports of Hawaiian had been near
" 600 900 lbs, as against little over
4 OOO. 600 Ibis year. All the circum-
stances for high market were thus in
favor of the present year, but the market
for Hawaiian was 6tc. year ago. The
price of mixed was also higher.
