In the Guiteau trial Tuesday Mr..
Scoville called to the witness stand
several of the experts for the defence.
The first witness was DIR. j. G..
Kiernan, editor of the Chicago Medi-
cal Record. who testified that he
believed Guiteau's father to have
been a crank, aud that Guiteau him.
self was insane and irresponsible.
The other medical experts merely
answered in the affirmative a hypo-
theiical question based upon the sup
position that the defense had proven
its theory of the case. In fact, one
of the experts refuse to go as far as
this. A Washington newspaper ma !
testified that during the campaign
Guiteau was regarded as fool. This
excited the assassin's ire, and he said
that he wanted no more fool experts.
He would rather be hung as sensi-
bic man than acquitted as a foel.
Mr.. Scoville announced that ne ex-
pectei to call President Arthur to
the stand to testify regarding the
state of feeling between the factions
of the Republican party at the time
of the shooting.

The signs multiply that at some
time during the approaching session
OF Congress the Democrats will
"have it out" on the question of Free
Trade. Not that the differences in
the party on this subject which have
always existed have grown any wider
OF late. or that there is anything in
the financial situation, the CONNER
cial condition of the country or the
state of trade to press the issue upon
public attention any more at the
present than any other time. But
the truth is the genuine Free Traders
in the party have set their teeth
and clenched their fists, and deter
mined to haye the questioned settled,
If possible, once for all, whether the
Democratic is Free Trade party, a
Protection party, or party that is
sometimes one, sometimes the other,
and sometimes both, as occasion

been time in the history of tariff
discussion in the country when the
Democratic party has not played
two-faced game upon this question.
1t is neminally a Free Trade. party,
and always has been. 1t has always
recognized that dogma as one of its
fundamental doctrines, and in its
platforms has usually been outspoken
in its advocacy. But there has never
been time when it's utterances have
not been plausibly explained in
Pennsylvania and the manufacturing
States as being practically in favor of
Protection nor ever time when
of its representatives in Congress
were not advocating and supporting
Protective measures of one sort and
another. The party has done more
stalwart and able-bodied lying on
that subject than on any other. and
that is saying great deal.

again. He gave call which was
answered. Stationing himself be-
hind a large tree with his gun thrust
forward, he soon heard a rustic in the
bushes short distance away. Peer.
ing from behind the tree he saw, as
he supposed. the dark breast of the
anticipated turkey took instant aim
and fred. The next moment he
heard man halloo. He ran to the
spot and found to his horror young
Keefer dying. The ball had entered
the left breast just above the collar
bone and. ranging downward, passed
through his lungs TO the spinal region.
He lived but few moments. Meese
was by Keefer's side when the fatal
shot was fired. There appears to be
no doubt that the death of Keefer was
accidental; he and Wilhelm were
reared together and were friends.

How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any one who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place, and
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as UTILITY and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this WASTE of precious metal is over
come, and theSAME SoLIDITY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one third to one half OF the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is of
the most simple nature, as follows: a plate of
nickle composition metal, especially adapted
to the purpose, has two plates, of SOLID GOLD
soldered one on each side. The three are then
passed between polished steel rollers, and the
result is a strip of heavey plated com position,
from which the cases. backs, centres. bezels,
&C., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and
formers. The gold in these cases is sufficient
ly thick to admit of all kinds of chasing, en-
craving and enamelling; the engraved cases
have been carried until worn perfectly smooth
by time and use without removing the gold

Although IL is a good while bff, we
already hear some talk about our
municipal election next spring, when
we choose mayor, city clerk and
five counc. lmen-at-large. The Re-
publicans will have to elect four of
the latter in order to control the new
council. as only two of the holding
over councilmen are Republicans.
Next fall we will have a Congress
man, a chief judge and an associate
judge to elect, the two latter in the
places now held respectively by
Judges Alvey and Motter. In the
event Of the resignation of Associate
Judge Pearre, an event publicly
spoken OF as not unlikely to occur In
the near future, his successor will
not be elected next fall. but at the
general election" following year
later, and the governor would make
an appointment to serve GtE interim.
AS to Congressman, we bellve Mr..
Urner can be his own successor If he
desire, but If he should prefer to go
ON the bench there will be Q plentiful
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1881-12-10

supply of candidates to choose from.
The chief judge of the district may
come from any of the counties, but
both of the associates cannot come
from any one county. For the for
mer place on the Republican side we
hear mentioned Hon. H. w. Hoff-
man, of Allegany, and Hon. Francis
M. Darby, of Washington. For
Judge Motter's place Allegany will
not be eligible with Judge Pearre on
the bench. Mr.. l.. E. McComas. of
Washington county and Mr.. T. j.
Peddicord, of Garrett, are spoken of
for that place, and in the event OF
both associate places being filed
(sooner or later) Hons. HI. w. Hoff-
man and w. ]. Read, of this county,
will be in the field.
If the governor should have an ud
iatarins appointment to make Fer
dinand Williams would loom up.
On the Democratic ticket it looks
as II Judges Alvey and M0tter Will
both be nominated for reelection.
When it comes to Allegany to set up
candidate there will be a pretty
strong list to choose from, viz: j.
H. Gordon, Ferdinand Williams,
Jas. M. Schley. (who ought to have
been nominated ten years ago in
place of his brother,l r. T. Semmes,
J. J. McHenry. and possibly others.
Col. Veitch. ofGarrett. will also come
up for consideration about the same
time.
Take 1t altogether, there is going
to be very large crop of politics
harvested next year in this locality,
particularly when we reflect that we
do not elect any local officers. Cum

There is only one sure test eff the
reality of mans religion. one certain
way of finding out whether it is spur
ious or genuine and that is the con.
duct of the man in daily life. BY
observing that, you can tell whether
he is doing merely lip service or is
guided by religious principle. His
talk in the prayer meeting does not
indicate his true character. When
he says he is near to God, he may be
tightly in the embrace of the devil.

David Davis was ON Saturday call
ed by the defence in the Guiteau trial
as a political expert" to give the
jury, under oath, a statement of the
condition of the two political parties.
Mr.. Davis testimony did not prove
of much value to Guiteau, but Mr..
Scoville is to be thanked for giving
the President of the Senate an oppor-
tuDity to again announce the creed
of the third party. but under cir
cumstances more solemn than those
which attended his former utterance
on the same subject. From his testi-
mony it is learned that Mr.. Davis is
still on the fence, and that he pro-
poses to stick to it-at least, until the
Republican party is destroyed, which,
he assures US, cannot be accomplish
ed until the Democratic party is car
ried to its grave. In his opinion
there is absolutely only one way to
break up the Republican party, and
that is for the Democratic party to
Grst give up the ghost. He takes no
stock in the idea that internal dis
sensions will disrupt the Republican
party. Judge Davis has so often act
ed with the Democrats when on the
floor of the Senate, and has SO often
been considered one of the support
ers of their policy, that they will
scarcely relish his sworn statement.
1t is evident that he has either given
up his ambition to become the Dem
ocratic candidate for the Presidency,
or that he does not think it worth
having. In spite of his clinging to
the fence so persistently, it may not
be so long before he will come to the
conclusion that it will be best for
him to become member OF the sex
traordinary organization" as he call
ed the Republican party on the wit.

A correspondent of the New York
Times. in a letter dated Miridian,
Miss. gives an entirely new version
of the election riot at Marion, in
which, according to the first reports,
Joe Barnett, JEFF Segars and Alexan-
der Segars, all whites, were killed by
an armed band of negroes, the whites
being without arms. According to
the correspondent. Barnett was
drunk, and was the cause of the dis
turbance, by abusing the negroes.
They stood IL until he had twice
struck one Of their number, when
they threatened to hit him with q
brick. At the approach of number
of the whites the negroes ran, and
they were fred upon by their pur-
suers. 1t was only then the negroes
returned the fire, which brought
down those of their assailants. The
sheriff, with a mob, went to the house
occupied by the Vance family.
Though the original report said this
house was filled with one hundred
armed negroes it contained only Ed
ward Vance, his two sons, and q
white neighbor, who was Demo-
crat. The mob fired upon the house,

the rear, John was killed and an
