The Guiteau Trial

WASHINGTON, December l2-In the Gui-
teau trial this morning Delapita, of New
York, testified that he examined Guiteau
yesterday and was satisfied he is insane.
The cross-examination was quite pointedly
directed to the witness practice and stand
ing as an expert, and inquiries were made
rs to the witness position as professor at
veterinary schools.
Mr.. Scoville objected to the question as
not pertinent.
Mr.. Dayidge replied that as the attain
ments of this witness have been paradsd
by the counsel on the other side, we
think it decidedly pertinent to the case to
discover what opportunities for professional
requirements witness has engaged. Mr..
Scoyille noted the exception that witness
had reason to feel ashamed of his sphere of
duty in that connection. The branch of
inquiry pursued by him had also engaged
the attention of Huxley and other noted
scientists.
Mr.. Dayidge questions-But your treat
ment at that time must have been confined
mostly to horses, and these gentlemen then
are what are known as horse doctors, are
they not
Witness reddoning and with some ex-
citement)-My treatment has been confined
to asses, and when an ass with two legs
asks me stupid question ! endeavor to
treat him as he deserves. General laughter
at the expense Of counsel.
Without concluding the cross examina-
tion n recess for one hour was taken.

Where Kew WEST Clear, are Made.

The population of Key West, inside and
outside of the corporation boundaries, is
yariously estimated at from twelve to six
teen thousand. II is asserted by persons
well acquainted with the place that II does
not contain half dozen iamiles from the
Southern States of the Union, and not
twenty families from the Northern
States, and that Of the whole
population, exclusive of the garrison
and the United States officials, there are
not twenty-five unacclimated adults.
About one-half the population are sup
ported directly or indirectly by the trade
in tobacco and the manufacture Of cigars
and the other half are dependent upon
fishing and sponging. The tobacco is
brought from the West Indies and most of
1t from Cuba, Tho cigars manufactured
from II are shipped almost exclusively TO
New York, either directly by ocean steamer
or through Cedar Key and Fcrnandina.-

The difference in the prices paid for cot
ton by the Northern mills is thus definitely
settled by the census; New England pays
II 65 cents per pound, the South 1851, a
difference of La or ten per cent; in other
words,were New England mill situated in the
south, they would save annually $617l ,655
for cotton alone, which would enable them
ia pay 4 per cent additional div
idend on their capital, great deal
more than many of them now pay.
II the matter Of wages the showing
is equally favorable to the South. The ay-
erage wages in New England is $236.63, in
the South, $l6l Goa year. an item which
would make difference of so 56l ,S2l in the
expenses Of the New England mills yearly,
or six per cent, on their capital. Some OF
this difference in wages is due to a differ
enco in skill; it is however, not wholly So
Cotton mill labor in the South commands
lower wages than in the Northern states,as
there is more laborin the market in that
section than is absolutely needed,
and because the cost of living Is
cheaper in these sections These two
items, cotton and labor, will make q differ
ence of between 10 and II per cent. ON the
capital of the New England companies.
They represent some of the advantages
in the manufacture of cotton goods. Other
advantages, such as those of the weather,
enables the Southern mills to
WORK THE WHOLE YEAR ROUND,
instead of closing some days during winter,
on account of the severity of the weather.
The water-power, of which we have an
abundance, etc, need not be touched or
here, for we are only considering those
points on which statistics can be obtained.
Let us take the 43S cotton mills now in the
North and transfer them to the South, as
many far.secing New England capitalists
are already proposing to do. Estimating
the other operating expenses of the mills at
one-third the cost of wages and cotton, the
New England mills while in New Eng
land, would return $l6,17S,1 ,19S of profits;
# they. were in the South, paying at the
New England ones; that they pay less
for cotton and labor, less for operating ex-
penses, and yet get more for their goods.
The only point in which they fall behind Is
in production, and this is due to the fact
that the Northern mills have better machin-
cry and more spindles and looms. There is
no more potent argument on this subject
than these figures, and they will doubtless
carry conviction to Che mind of many way
ering cotton manuiacturers.-[ Chattanooga
