The GRAND Jury of Washing tom
Makes q Presensmens Against
the AoRARoin.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-The under.
standing is that the Justices of the Su
preme Court Of the District have given
careful study to the question OF juris-
diction in the Guiteau case, and that
no plea whatever against the ju risdic.
ton of the court will be sustained if
made Mr.. Scoville, Guiteau's 5 brother
in-iaw and counsel. arrived here to-
day. He has said that he does not ex-
pect to raise any technical question
whatever, such as those involved in
the right Of the District Couyt to try the
case, or in the questions of the medical
treatment. He says be intends to b ase
his defense solely upon the plea of in
sanity. The Grand Jury made apre-
sen tment to-day, but the indictment
will not bs in shape for them to pass
upon until tomorrow.
It does not differ in any respect from
an ordinary Indictment for murder. 1t
is expected that when the case proceeds
the Government will only occupy a
short time in the examination Of wit
nesees. Guiteau's council will need
some time to call witnesses from various
parts of the country upon the question
Of sanity, The case will, however, be
pushed az promptly ~ Is possible with
due regard to the legal rights of the
defendant.
The Off GERS of the court here do not
appear to have any doubt that the trial
OF tho assassin will be conducted to its
conclusion without interference of an
unlawful character. OF course, par
ticular precautions will be taken to
sustain the dignity Of the law and to
secure the ends of justice by regular
methods. The assurance generally felt
that the murderer will not escape a
deserved punishment if the law is suf-
fered to take its course will contribute
TO the maintenance Of public order.

any lamblike proclivities at all, went out

with degrees OF cold weather OF midwinter.

pitched head foremost to the bottom of u

attached ham OF pork to his hook and

testimony in his last annual report: "The

that, has now disappeared altogether from
the list of beer producing States"
A New York political paper had re.
porter in the State of Maine before the
last election who wrote home as follows ::
Another feature here is the absence of
"rum." In New York, as you well know,
the sale and drinking of liquor forms a
very important element of f,expense and
management. In Maine al! this is un-
known. So strict is the law that in some
towns it is an absolute impossibility TO get
a drink Of any kind OF spirits, even cider.

DEAR JouRSAh,--Tho unusually pro-
tracted and severe winter is, we think,
broken, ms flowers are now to be found and
forest and fruit trees are donning their
Spring attire, Winter wheat has stood the
winter finely and now gives promise Of an
abundant harvest. Farmers are very late
about their work thus fnr,plowing forcorn
being oaly begun, while rs rule,plnnting
is commenced the first week in April,
Farm lnborers are in demand and wages
range from Sl3 TO SIS per month.
The influx Of colorcd people from Texas
has nearly ceased and quite u portion OF
those who came have returned, some to see
" Kinfolks," some were not satisfied and
some have been induced TO return by agents
from Texas expressly TO induce as many
MS possible to return, promising all the
land they wanted TO work, fair division OF
crops, good treatment andNAo bulldoSing.
1t is much to be desired that they keep
their promises.
Many OF the colored people raised cot
ton here last year and pronounce this
good cotton country. inclose few balls
which remained out all winter.
1t Is believed the "iron clad" Liquor
law OF the last Legislature will cause n
heavy influx of population, and, as rule,

DEAR JOURNAL Your correspondent
"took in " novel race the other day, a
short description OF which may be of some
interest to the readers of the JOURNAL.
Seeing n, large gathering OF men and
boys near by, slapped to ascertain the
cause OF the tumnlt. On elbowing my way
10 the center OF the crowd / saw standing
ALMOST ready for start, two yoke of wild
Texas oxen, eacl, yoke hitched to separate
carts, and m an to each OK holding them
preparatory fer a start, in n race of five
hundred yards. On each cart sat the dri-
yer with goad stick in hand, ard red cot
ton handkerchief tied about the head,
waiting anxiously for the word" Co."
Betting seemed to be going on quite
lively, and after looking the "sleeds over
for moment concluded that n certain
pair of light colored, long.legged, wild
looking steers could beat the others, a
heavy set, smaller, red pair; consequent
ly gent near by asked me to back my
opinion with five dollar William"
and rather than "take back" what had
said, nervously handed out my only re-
manning V. Just as we concluded this ex-
citing arrangement VIC heard the word
"Go!" The word had no more than been
given when some scalawag gave jump
and whoop at the red cattle, and throwed
his hnt under them, giving them regular
Indian stampede, and away they went, and
although the others were goaded, geed and
liawed TO make them run around the others
il was no go. They were behind, and
there they stayed to the outcome. They
run level and well, and very fast. Anyone
that never saw Texas steer run, has no
idea how the yarmints" can go. Several
parties in wagons with trotlers followed in
the "wake," trying to keep up, but in
vain. The steers crossed the line and ran
on into town, and when we arrived there
We saw them standing quietly by corral
chewing their cud.
Tie winner, (nsis customary here) stands
