Another Pilot Law.
HOW NEW JERSEYS ACTION is REG AR
DED.

nv" NEW JERSEYS ACTION is REGAL
from the Philadelphia Telegraph
And now New Jersey, is to have a
plioi aw,which will have The interesting q
enect CT still further complieatins the
complications caused by the conflicting
statutes and conflicting jurisdictions Of
pennsylvania and Delaware. II this sort
OF things keeps on. pilotage will shortly
come TO be regarded as about the same
.hing as piratage on the Delaware river.
lhdeed, 1t Is scarcely too much to say
mat good many reasonably law abid-
ing citizens regard them as about the
same thing now. The Delaware Pilot
law was almost SYSTEMATICALLY passed,
not IN the interest Of the public, but OF
certain pilots who were rot permitted to
prey on the Delaware river commerce to
the extent that they desired under
fennsylvania regulations; and il the pro
posed New Jersey law is enacted it will
DC enacted In exactly the same interests
as that of Delaware. As it is the trade
OF rhlladelphia that Is being levied upon
by these thrifty Jerseymen and Della.
wa'eans the proposed enactment in New
jersey is'about ss broad and significant
hint as is needed by the merchants
and ship owners of Philadelphia to do
something for their own protection and
ior the protection of some of the best
interests of this port, beyond the utter
ance Of protests. The fact is that 1t is
high time the General Government was
assuming entire control of this whole
business of plotage. Indeed, such con-
troll should have been assumed long ago,
and 1t would have been were 1t not for
the inveterate habit of Congress of omit.

practical matters relating to government,
IN order that the members may devote
their time to ssuabbles about petty
Offices, and to the promotion of partisan
and faetional interests, to the dlsparage

A COOL REQUEST.

Mr.. Scoville at last got chance to
read the letter to Senator Cameron,
which was as follows
"DEAR SIR: I am on trial for nv
life, and l need money. l am a stall

Guiteau-That is good letter,
sir.
"P. S.-Please give your check to
my brother, John w. Gulteau, of
Boston, and make it payable to my
ORDER"
Guiteau-If my brother had pre-
sented the letter he would probably
have got the money. But as he would
not be decent, but preferred to act in
a mean, dirty way, he did not get the
money.
Mr.. Scoyille Continuing his aues-

manner, writing that letter in all good
faith and sincerity, believing that the
presentation of it to Mr.. Cameron
would bring him check of $500

Mr.. Scoville-In your opinion might
that indicate in any degree unsound-

Guiteau-Did you never ask any.

The Witness-The writing of that
letter is entirely consistent with a
great deal of the acts of the prisoner

here.
Mr.. Scoville-I am calling your at

to know from that letter alone, and

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Oficial
computation discloses that 1885 bills

in the two houses OF Congress before
recess. Tue law provides that $50
copies of each document shall be
printed for the use of members, re-
quirlpg to date the printing of 2, ,s35, ,750

OF the bills of the session have not yet
been introduced, in which case

THE PRISONER MAKES HIS USUAL

QUARTERS IN THE
COJIRT ROOM

WASHINGTON, December 29.-The
dock to which the prisoner was re-
moved yesterday, and in which he was
placed on entering the court room this
morning is simply q rallied inclosure
en- the south of the room in which
criminals are seated while awaiting
trial. 1t is 8 feet long by wide, and
its furniture consists of three chairs-
two cane-seated chairs for the bailiffs,
and one wooden-seated chair for the
prisoner. The dock 10 close to q large
window, which for the purpose of
ventilation is generally kept open, and
the prisoner when seated in it is ex-
posed to far greater extent than
when sitting at the counsel table to
the bullet of an assassin. A large
policeman, however, patrols the vacant
space between the dock and the window
and keeps a sharp lookout for suspi-
cious characters.

he made his morning speech. "Coming
up in the van this morning I noticed
that the usual policemen were with
drawn. l want to say emphatically
that if was turned out tomorrow

as am in custody of the Court the
Court must take care of me. The
greatest danger of being shot is in
coming from the van to the Court
House. want Your Honor to order
that have the usual number of po-
licemen coming up In the van. The
cranks are not all dead yet, though
they have been dying recently. l got
fifty letters yesterday, most of them
sympathetic, asking for my autograph.
There were only two or three cranks |
in the whole lot. But one crank could |
do the business if he had tho nerve.
l am most unprotected coming from
the van to the Court House. If you
turn nae out loose / will take care of |
myself, but SO long as I am in the
custody of this Curt this Court must
take care of me. Some of the experts
testified that in Jail am very quiet.
So am. l have the reputation there
Of being perfect gentleman. They

The sun ssu Ss9se.

Chicago Tribune Richmond special; Last
night about midnight the Rev John Jas
per's church was the scene of the widest
excitement on the part OF the members of
the congregation The church l. situated
Ia that part of the city known Africa.
which is the home of a large portion IF
the negro population of Richmond. The
Rev. John Jasper. the famous preacher
who came before the country so prominent
" last year by his sermon on the text " The
Sun DO Move lives about a stones throw
from the church. He was stricken down
by au atiack OF sickness jRst about the
time of the appearance of the comet and Il
large number of bis congregation uttfibl-
ted his illness to the sudden appearance of
the orb. For some time he fingered almost
on the verge of death. Jasper has an
almost incredible hold upon their affections
and rough, unpretcndiug and almost inlet
| tered as he is, be is regarded by large mum
bers of the negroes as a prophet. who. be
ing specially favored by Providence,
has made al unrelonting enemy OF
the devil, whose messenger and the engine
Of whose Vaccinations they deem the comet
to be. Yesterday morning the city papers
had the statement about the coming appear
L
the more incredulous of the followers Of
Jasper this was looked upon as an evil
omen, preSaging trouble to their pastor.
Last night persons living in the ueghbor-
hood of Mount Zion church, of which JAS
per is pastor, were startled by hearing three
taps struck slowly and distinctly frorn the
bell ill the steeple of the church Ia an IN
stant large crowds, mainly colored began to
gather around the church, attracted by the
unusual occurrence. The night being I'M
usually cloudy added to the mystery, and,
as the crowd stood awc-Strickeu at the
strange occurrence the faint reyerberations of
the bell were again heard. The crowd now
numbered several hundred, and WAS con-
stantly being augmented by those who came
up breathless, and many of them i'll dishev-
eled apparel, to see the meaning of this as
assemblage. For long time
they stood III horror, but finally some
bolder than the rest, volunteered 70 enter
the sacred edifice. They did 50, but no
clue could he found clearing up the mystery.
Somebody then suggested that the ringing
was the ath-knell of the pastor, who has
been i'll bad health for some time. his
suggestion ran through the crowd like Wild
fire, and Immediately q rush was made for
the minister's house, and he was compelled
W hldke A-s~ pea f@e--' autt Hnsure ti1eib
that he WAS still in the flesh The crowd fl
nally dispersed, but many of them asserted
that some supernatural agency had been at
work. The sexton of the church gives the
most probable solution of the mysterious
/ sounds, which IS that when the bells were
last tolled the clapper must have somehow
been caught in the machinery and failed to
assume its usual perpendicular position, in
which condition il was, according to his
! theory, when released by the wind Saturday
night causing it to strike the bell n II Vi
brated in settling to its proper place.
