Gu,seau and III. Former VIC.

FROM The Boston HERALD
The relations of the assassin and his former
wife were not brought out during her brief
examination but one of the numerous land
ladies whom he swindled in Chicago, who is
now a resident of this city, says that Quit
eau's treatment OF his wife in her house.
where they lived for a month, was very cruel.
The vagabOnd would frequently lock her into
a dark closet in their room, and go away and
leave her. And, when asked by those in tho
house who were knowing to his brutality why
she did not resent the treatment and call for
protection, the wife said she was too much
mortified" to do it. Other persons who knew
Guiteau during this period, and who have
not been summoned as witnesses, insist that
he was not then insane, but only ugly, mean
and deyilish

The managers of the Yorktown
centennial are actively at work pre-
pairing for a demonstration which
shall be worthy of the occasion. The
appropriation made by congress was
100000 for q monument, $4,000 to
bear the expense of entertaining the
French squandron which is expect
ed, and $4,000 for the purpose OF
the congressional committee, which
is to have partial charge of the ar
rangements. Each of the original
thirteen states has made an appro-
priation to send a regiment of its
militia to take part in the military
pageant, and it is expected that a
number of other states will follow
this example. Efforts are being
made to induce the state of Ohio
especially ON account of her former
relations to Virginia, to send q
regiment to Yorktown. The French
government has sent official notice
of an acceptance of the invitation to
participate, and seven. ships of the
French North Atlantic squadron are
expected. Two vessels of the French
navy will leave Havre, bringing a
number of prominent French OFF,
cials. The celebration at Yorktown
will begin on the 9th of October, the
date at which the American and
French forces opened the outer
parallel for the siege of the place Ii
is designed to have the encampment
of the troops continue until the
18th of October, and upon the 18th,
1.-THE centennial of the surrender) the
marine delegations present, with
other civic associations, will take

THE New York, Texas and Mexi-
can Railway Company has secured
ground at Rosenberg junction,
which is the intersecting point of
the Sunset road and the Santa Fe
railway, three miles northwest of
Richmond, in Fort Bend county. AT
this point the railway is to begin its
course towards the Rio Grande, the
initial points being Wharton, Vie
toria, Goliad, Beeville and Browns
vile. Surveys have been made from
Rosenberg Junction 10 Victoria,
and the line has been located to
Wharton, and the right-of-way Sc
cured to the Colorado river, and the
contract let for all the line from
Rosenberg to Wharton. The sur
vey from Wharton to Victoria is
preliminary but the work of loca-
ton will soon begin, and the line
will be pushed rapidly towards the
west. 1t is said that this company
is looking for line TO the coast,
and whether it will go to .Trespela-
clos. or Matagorda Bay, or the
mouth of the Brazos is hard
to tell, but there is every
evidence of great activity in
railroad building in this rich
sugar and cotton region. 1t is un-
derstoOd that persons i'll this city
have secured the contract for grad
ing between Rosenberg and Whar-
ton.

THE american, one of the very
ablest Republican journals printed
in this country. thinks the defense
of Senator Malone altogether
worthless; and that the shame of its
worthlessness is shared by the Re-
publican leaders, who prepared the
way for his accession to their party,
aud the Senators who welcomed
Heretofore the record of the Re-
publican party has been unimpeach-
able in this matter. With all its
blunders in the South, and all it did
to permit and sanction the misgov-
ernment of some of the states, Mr..
Malone is positively its first invest
ment in reputation. And while
the Republicans of the Old Domin-
ion-most of them colored men of
scanty education and recent expe-
rience in bondage-stood out man
fully against any alliance with the
Readiusters, the Republicans of the
national Senate have welcomed him
to their midst Tor the sake OF a
doubtful party benefit. Their con-
duct cannot but help to demoralize
the Republicans of other Southern
states as we'll as those of Virginia,
and to throw the colorod voters into
the arms of any political adventurer
who may promise them a useful but
unprincipled alliance. III.

THE Express has done Col. White
head an injustice, and the item from
its columns has been copied by the
Ne,cs and other papers. This is what
the Express said, and what is re-
peated:
"The members of the State Senate were
duly sober at adjournment Friday. Col.
j. L. C. Whitehead, in behalf of the en-
ployees of that body, knocked all the hi
larity out of the festive senators by a
two-hour speech in presenting a cane to
the Lieutenant-Governor.
Col. Whitehead's speech was
written and committed to memory,
and it took him not exceeding five
minutes to deliver it, which he did
in admirable taste and with marked
effect. The speech was embodied
in the Senate journal and it made
just sixty lines of printed matter, or
about 700 words. This little item
of explanation is, in words, over
one-fifth as much as Col. WIS entire
speech. -a
