and melancholy manner. A number of the
boys of the camp had been at Wyausing in
duIging freely in liqnor during the day
Toward night they started back in a bark rig
ging, but had proceeded only about four miles
when quarrel arose betwee DUTTON and an
other OF the men named RANDOLPH, in
which the former was the aggressOr. They
had clinch in which DUTTON was struck
several times in the face, and when RAN
DOLPH released his hold DUTTON dropped to
the ground dead. DR.. HOMEr, held an in
quest Sunday, and the jury returned verdict
that death was caused by" cerebal apopleXy,
brought on by drinking and excitement, in
attempting 10 fight one RANDOLPH" No ar
rest was made. The remains were taken to

The district attorney then read a note
addressed to him by the surgeons at

fetal request from him as to the presi-
dents case and his recovery. This
note was signed by DR.. Bliss and the
other three surgeons. 1t was while
the president has, up to the present
time, done exceedingly well, and we
anticipate his recovery, we cannot as
scrt with confidence that his injuries
may not result fatally. Col. Corkhill
said that in view of this condition Of
the president he would move that the
grand jury be discharged until the

ordered. So nothing will be done with

THE Commercial Bulletin says Of
the wheat crop as far as present infor-
nation goes we have prospects Of four
hundred million bushels against four
hundred and eighty millions of last
year. There are, however. certain ef-
forts to be placed against this differ
ence According to the information
from commercial sources the Pacific
States and territories held a surplus Of
about twenty eight million bushels at
the beginning of July. The wheat
anoat for Europe and the visible sup
ply for the United States and Canada
was six million bushels greater at the
same period Of 1880 to which must be
added small allowance of say seven
million bushels, representing an in
crease of stock in the farmers hands Of
the Mississippi. As compared with a
year ago these combined items repre-
sent total of forty one million BUSH
els as compared with year ago. On
the whole, therefore, our exportable
surplus will not vary so largely as has
been supposed from that of the har-
vest of 1879, out of which was expor-
ted one hundred and seventy-eight
million bushels of wheat and -four

GITTEAU'> GUILT.
How Shall he be Punished-Simila rity
between his Crime and Booths.

WASHINGTON, July l8.-Thc Star
to day reports an interview with Dis
trct attorney Corkhill about Gitteau,
in which he says there has no. been
such an occurance in this country since
Lincoln was assassin ted. In that
case the assassin was doomed when
captured The trial was by military
commission. There has never been
such a thing in the history of the
country as trial in civil courts Of a
man who attempted IA presidents life.
When Mr.. Lincoln was assasslnated
you remember Booth was killed by
Boston Corbett. My mail, continued
Corkhill, looking over the heap of let
letters and postal cards on his desk, is
very large every days from all parts Of
the country, embracing suggestions
from lawyers as to the method of trial
suggestions from citizens as to what
ought to be done and from persons
giving notice that they have know,
Gitteau and relating incidents of hi
life. There is AN anxiety all over the
country to show the man up Have
you settled the point about the double
Indictment of Gitteau? he was asked
l am not prepared to say whether t.
seaprate offences can be made out o
the two shots fired. There was TIVE
shots fired, however Lam not en-
tirely satisfied that they do not consti
tute two offenses. | have given NJ
definite opinion and made no annoucc
ment that | intended to present tw
separate charges The gravity of tn
crime is SO great and the punishmen
so Inadequate that these suggestion
have grown out Of the situation
There is, continued Corkhill, a grea
similarity between this mans Grim
and Booths crime, Both of them ha
the matter in contemplation som
time and both were seeking q publ
place to commit the crime.
