ADJOURNMENT OFTHE SPECIAL SESSION.


The special session of the Senate adjourned
last Saturday, after confirming number OF
Presidential appointments. The only cabinet
appointments made, and which were promptly
confirmed, were those of Charles j. Folger, OF
New York, to be Secretary of the Treasury
and Thomas l.. James, of New York, to be
Postmaster General. The only hitch that oc,
Cured in executive session, was the refusal OF
the Democrats to confirm what they conceived
to be partisan appointment in the nomlna'
ton of Clifford Stratham, Mahoneite, to be
postmaster of Lynchburg, the idea being to
use the appointment for political effect in the
pending election in Virginia, Ly parading the
nomination as evidence that the Maboneites
or Regulators control the Presidential pat
ronage.
The closing act was the introduction of
resolution by Mr.. Bayard, that the thanks OF
the Senate are hereby rendered to Hon. David
Davis for the courtesy, impartiality and ablll'
ty with which he has performed his duties as
President pro tenn. The resolution was agreed
to unanimously, and after graceful recognl
tion of the compliment by Mr. Davis, the Sen
ate adjourned sine die

THE TRIAL OF GUITEAU.

In the criminal court at Washington, on
the 26th, on the application of counsel Of Gui'
teau, the trial of the case was postponed from
the 9TH to the 18th instant. Mr.. Scoville,
in his argument, stated that in his judgment
the court had Jurisdiction, and intlmated
that he would not raise any question on that
point. 1t is understood that all pleas, ex-
cept that of insanity of the prisoner, will be
waived. In a recent card to the public, Mr..
Seville makes the rather mysterious an.
announcement that he will not hesitate, if
it be necessary, to bring out the connection
of ex Senator Conkling and other Republi-
cans with the inception Of the crime of his
client.
As to the insanity of Guiteau, it is said by
those who have the most to do with him, and
who have kept close watch upon him since
the preparations for the defence began, are
thoroughly convinced that his insanity plea
is sham. There was nothing in his conduct
at the Jail, up to the time that the plan was
decided upon as the main line of defence, to
suggest insanity. At first Guiteau himself
would not agree to it, but as soon as he did,,
his daily conduct and his talk and writings
at once conformed to it. This branch of the
case, however, was overdone, and both Gui-
teau and his counsel seemed to become aware
of the fact. At present Guiteau has returned
to the condition of mind and action which
characterized him during the months of the
Presidents suffering. He seems to be per-
fectly relieved upon the subject Of personal
violence, and with this all evidences of excite
ment have disappeared. He is in perfect
health. There is no excited condition of any
function. His pulse never appears to be dis
turbed, and his sleep is sound and perfectly
natural. In short, so far as can be determin-
ed, there are no symptoms of any Of the
physical arrangements which usually attend
cases of insanity.

hospitality. In deciding to extend their trip
to the city which some Of the boys tried so
persistently, and vainly to visit a few years
ago, and which was regarded throughout the
North with such special aversion as the origi
nator of the terrible war, the First Regiment
was governed by happy impulse. The invi'
tation so cordially given was as heartily accep-
ted, and the presence of Governor Bigelow
and few prominent citizens as invited guests
has added to the completeness of the occasion.
The State of Connecticut will hold itself in
debted to its oldtime sister, South Carolina,
and Hartford will only be too glad of an op'
portunity to reciprocate to the best of its
ability the hospitality so royalty extended to
its sons.
A Remarkable Days Work.
- The Atlanta Consultation gives the fol-
lowing account of remarkable days work,
at the Atlanta Cotton Exposition, which ena:
bled two Governors to appear at an evening
reception on Thursday last, in suits of cloth.
ing made from cotton, which at sunrise that
morning dangled from the stalks:
At the International Cotton Exposition
yesterday the Willimantic company did some
work against time, in which the old father
was vanquished. One Of the features of the
days doipgs was to be the making Of two
suits of clothes from the seed cotton. Bright
and early number of people went out to
the grounds to see the process. A little after
sunrise few individuals on hand for the oc
casion stepped into one of the patches on the
grounds, and almost ina twinkling the cotton
was picked and ginned. At twenty minutes
to 7 it started on its way. Entering first the
Kitson picker, at 7 o'clock, it went to the Foss
and Pevey cards, thence to the railway head
built by the Lowell Machine Company. Ther
it rapidly found its way to the speeder, built
by the City Machine Company, of Providence
From there it went 10 the Fails and Jenks
frame, and was soon what the observer was
ready to pronounce thread This was taker
to Crompton loom and the process of weav
ing commenced. The crowd that had watch
ed the course Of the cotton as it passed from
stage to stage grew until the aisles were block
ed up. Everybody wanted to see the work
going on. As soon as the cloth emerged from
the loom it was taken to the dye house of N
Spencer Thomas and dyed. As soon as i
was dried it was taken to the Wheeler &
Wilson exhibit, where the suits were Gu
out-one for Governor Colquitt and one fo
Governor Bigelow. The silk, which had beer
furnished by Cheney Brothers, and which
was Of American manufacture, was ready
The making of the suits was commenced
The cutting was done by Atlanta's favorit'
tailor, Mr.. Crosse, whose taste and ability
guaranteed perfection in his department o
the work. The button-holes were made at thu
rate of two a minute by H. L. Phel lps, O
New York, on the National Machine Compa
ny's button hole machine. AS the day CLOSED
the suits came completed from the hands o
the tailors, and in the evening the Governor
wore handsome black suits, made from cottor
that at sunrise dangled, dew-gemmed, from
the stalks. So much for fast machinery.

MAN OF We OLDEN TINE.

We were pleased to meet on the streets OF
Yorkville, last Thursday, Mr.. Ebenezer W.
Smith, better known to our older citizens
as "Abe" Smith, father of Mr.. j. Harvey
Smith, of Chester. In the year 1856, Mr..
Smith emigrated from this county, to Brooks
Gap, Jefferson county, Alabama, where his
home now is. For twenty-four consecutive
years previous to his departure from York,
he was superintendent of the county poor
house, and it can be truthfully said that a
more competent official never served the peo'
pie.
MIR. Smith is veritable and living link
between the past and the present generations,
as, should he live until that day, he will
be ninety.one years of age on the 18th of
next December. He is still active and jovial,
with memory unimpaired, in excellent health,
and gives promise to live for many years to
come. He has always lived an abstemious
life, having never, during his life time, drauk
as much as q quart of spirituous liquor. He
is of a family noted for longevity. He
informs us that he had brother to die
in Georgia, about four months ago, at the
age of lis years. Two years ago, he heard
from another brother, then living in Louis
vile, KY, at the age of III years, and he
NAV be living vet, as he has not been inform
ed of his death.
Mr.. Smith is native, we think, of Chester
county. Having been born in the last Gen.
tury, the earlier portion of his life was spent
in a comparatively new country, and conse-
quently his experience of those days-in the
absence of railroad, steamboats,, the telegraph
and other modern convenences was even
more typical of frontier life than the existence
of the hunter on the far-western prairie, or
the seeker of gold on the Pacific slope to day.
In his day, "wagoning" was the universal
mode of transporting commodities inland
from one section to another, and the owner
of fine team and wagon was altogether as
important parsonage as the modern mana
ger of a railroad or steamboat line. In view
of the unsettled condition of the country, the
occupation demanded men of enterprise, II
not of moral courage Naturally of an ad'
venturous spirit, Mr.. Smith took to the wag'
on then, just as if he were living his young
life over now, he would be at the head OF
some public enterprise requiring nerve and
energy, and made several "trips," which in
this age of steam and quick transit, would, to
the younger persons Of this generation, seem
almost incredible. Among these trips,
notable one was made during the war of
1924, when he hauled load of $1,000
pounds of cotton from Fish Dam in Union
county, this State, to Philadelphia, for which
he received, for hauling $l3 per hundred
