News of the death at Santiago on Sunday Of
General JudsOn Fitzpatrick our Minister TO
Chill, was received by the State Department
yesterday. General Fitzpatrick was "a man of
mcrcurial temperament and unusual activity,
who as soldier, lecturer, politician and diplo-
matist held a position of considerable pfomi-
hence before the American public for twenty
years. The portion of his varied and somewhat
dramatic career which will be longest rcmcm-
bered is that which was associated with the Civil
War He was one of little group of young,
brave adventurous cavalry officers who by their
energy and dash rendered that arm of the SER
vice formidable. During the first year of the
rebellion our cavalry was deplorably inelli-
cient Neither men nor horses were accus-
toned to the saddle. Our clumsy regiments Of
clerks and farmer boys mounted on plough
horses were no match for the swift and shliul
riders of the South. But a little experience
made good horsemen of our soldiers and devel-
opcd "A class of commanders with a genius for
rapid marching, quick strategy and sharp
fighting, so that in the latter years of the
struggle the Northern cavalry was more than a
match for that of the rebels. Among these
commanders none won brighter laurcls than
Judson Fitzpatrick History may have little to
say about the New-Jcrsey politician who was
twice Minister to Chill, but it will be sure to
speak of the brave officer whose squadrons won
brilliant victories along the Rappahannock and
on the slopes of the Blue Ridge, and who COM
mandcd all the cavalry i'll Shcrmans army on
the March to the Sea.

The whole country is serene in the belief that
Guiteau viii be removed.

Senator Beck signalized his reelection to the
Senate by the prompt introduction OF bill pro
vidng for the death of the Trade Dollar and its
resurrection III the form of n Buzzard Dollar. He
wishes to commit the Democracy to II demand for
more silver. evidently.
The Republicans of the House cannot do o more
patriotic thing than to have a thorough and public
examination made into election methods i'll the dis
puted Southern districts The time is suspicious for
such an Investigation, and public sentiment is in
condition to consider its revelations without parti-
san rancor. That there has been infamous cheating
there does not admitof doubt. The Democrats no
longer deny it. The leading Democratic newspaper
of Mississippi The Vicksburg Herald says openly
that Chalmers secured his certificate of reelection
by the most lagTan frauds, and that he has no pos
sibe right to his seat Ii also says "As the day of
BourbOnism passes away, so will the calling of the
budOzer and the ballOt-stuiler" This obsoi walton
from paper which supported the Bourbon ticket
which was counted III At Tie recent election is sug-
gestye, IL admits that the bulldOzer and the
ballot-stuiler were at work there. Congress might
extract some valuable information from the editor
Mr.. Randall should not be too smart about tang
ling up the new Speaker. When Mr.. Keifer gets
used TO the chair, Mr.. Randall may find it difficult

Last summer Senator Cameron was reported
as favoring the abolition of the taxes on
tobacco. Now he goes still further and pro-
poses to release beer as well as tobacco from
paying tribute to the Government All such
sweeping schemes for cutting down the reve-
nue. had better be laid aside for year OF two
until the Arrears of Pensions act ceases to
drain the Treasury.

The defence in the Guitcau case closed yes
terday rather Unexpectedly, its hasty conclu-
sion being caused by an unwillingness to take
the risk of calling to the witnesS-stand many
of the medical experts who had been sum
moned in the hope that they would pronounce
the prisoner insane. Such of these experts as
have been allowed to testify have only been
asked to answer hypothetical question which
assumed all that the defence claims concerning
Guitcau's mental condition. They were
not allowed to say whether they considered
him responsible for his acts or not. Others
of the physicians in attendance were not
put upon the stand at all, because it was
known to Mr.. Scovile that they had become
convinced of Guitcau's sanity by observing
his language and behavior during the trial.
These witnesses have been held by the prose-
cutiom as IA reinforcement to those already in
attendance III its behalf. The rcbutting tes-
timony will now begin, and it is safe to pre-
diet that by the time it is ended there will be
hardly enough left of the insanity theory for
the most skilful lawyer to hang an argument
upon.

Two of the overdue Atlantic steamships,
the Suevia and the Somerset have put into
st. John, n. b., in disabled condition. Only
one remains out for which anxiety is felt ;
that is the City of London, which sailed from
London twenty-three days ago. Probably she
will make port in day or two with damaged
machinery or broken propeller, like so many
of the other steamers caught and buffeted by
the fierce storms which have swept the ocean
during the past three weeks.

There appears to be good business sense in
the project described in another column for
manufacturing gas in the coal regions of
Western Pennsylvania and conducting it
through pipes to the cities of the East. The
cost OF transporting the gas win probably be
much less than that Of hauling the coal from the

Secretary Folger's recommendation for the
repeal of the stamp taxes on bank checks,
matches and proprietary medicines will be
heartily concurred in by the public. No doubt
the Secretary designs to include, also, toilet
articles and playing cards, so as to wipe out
the whole stamp system, except that part of it
used for collecting the taxes on spirits, beer
and tobacco. The decrease in the revenue
effected by such legislation would be about
seven millions year.

the refined product to market instead OF the
coarse and bulky raw material.
The Democratic leaders in the House show
disposition to embasrass and annoy the new
Speaker by raising parliamentary questions
which they hope may prove snares for his mex
perience They will not gam any measure of
the public confidence which they so sadly need
10y such performances. Few people know any
thing about the complexities Of parliamentary
law and presidents, or will care whether the
Democrats gain few petty triumphs Ill this
line or not but all farr-minded men will recos-
nize good sense, right intention and good Judg-
ment in the Chair, and will hold that Speaker
Keller is entitled while presiding over the
House to the cooperation and support OF all It's
members whether they sit upon his right hand
or his left. The Democrats had better try some
other maneuvre. They are not strong them
selves on parliamentary law or any other KIND
of law, and may get tripped up when setting
traps for the sturdy man from Ohio who now
holds the gavel.
Judge David Davis came down from the
chair of the Senate yesterday to explain the
dUblJuuc Oh Une luHu parry III lIdC uo"J' vi
which he is the sole and weighty representa-
tive. He said he should maintain the position
of independence which he had occupied for
the past ten years. The Administration of
President Arthur he should treat candidly,
sustaining it when right and opposing it when
wrong. As to the committees and offices OF
the Senate he stood just where he did last
spring, and should vote to keep the
committee organizations in the hands OF the
Republicans and the Offices in possession OF
the present Democratic incumbents. Having
thus dispensed pretty even measure of both
satisfaction and disappointment to both sides
of the Chamber, Judge Davis closed with a
few patriotic remarks and resumed the gavel.
The practical bearing of his explanation IS to
show the Republicans that it is Of no use for
them to try to get the Senate Offices, and to
inform the Democrats that their plan for
regamng control OF the committees must be
given up.

FROM FOREIGN LANDS.
News From the Old World Through

C00 0tAcSA4oAS SS0UAs
LONDON, August 9.-The Stand-
ards dispatch from Vienna, says.
A Nihilist named Guinberg, of
noble birth, has been arrested at
Belgrade It is stated that the
police found documents upon him,
proving that the Nihilists and
Socialists have designs respectively
on the lives of the Gar and Emper-
or William.
The Standards correspondent at
Rome says that serious proposals
have been made recently to the Pope
that he should transfer the seat of
the Holy See to America, where an
Independent position will be as
sured.
A dispatch from Dublin says Mr..
John Dillon has been released from
Klmanham jail. The, same uispatch
says pastoral by Archbishop Me-
Cabe was read in all the chapels of
the arch diocese of Dublin, on Sun
day, in which the archbishop says
"We must raise our voices, even
at the risk of being misunderstood
by friends and misrepresented by
enemies, and warn the people against
an alarming impending danger.
Some months ago when an alliance
between Ireland and the worst infs
dels of Paris was courted by unau-
thorized agents, our Catholic in-
stincts recoiled from dishonoring
union. Similar attempts are now
being made" The pastoral adds
that secret societies are deadly ene-
mics of domestic peace and national
prosperity.
A Dublin correspondent of the
Times says the time of the manufac-
turing industrial classes is coming,
and when the land question is set
tied other questions which are al
ready beginning to look before the
eyes of the political observers will
come to agitate the country as much
as ever. The agitators will do their
utmost to keep the people in a state
of ferment. The pastoral of Arch
bishop McCabe, which was read in
the chapels on Sunday, chiefly deals
with the prevalence of infdelity on
the continent and danger of its
extending to Ireland. It describes
the land bill as measure which com
petent men will greatly approve.
| LONDON, August Ga deputation
from the Liberal Club waited on Sin
Chas. Dixie, Under Foreign Secre>
tary, to request MIN to vote for the
motion of which Mr.. Labour-
chere, Advanced Liberal, has
given notice to rescind the resolu,
tions prohibiting Mr.. Bradlaugf
from taking his seat in the House O.
Commons. Sir Charles Dixie re
piled that there would be a cabinet
council to day, at which future steps
in regard to Bradlaugh, would b,
considered, but he believed that NJ
attempt would be made this session
to alter the Parliamentary oath
law. If Mr.. Labourchere's motion i
brought forward, which is not likely
he would vote for it.

TENNESSEE CROPS.
Report of the Commissioner of Agricu1.
ture, Statistics and Mines on Their Con.
dition in July.

Report of the Com missioner of AgricuI.
ture, Statistics and Mines on Their Con.
dition in July.
OFFICE OF COMMISSIONERS OF AGR1cU1.
TURE, STATISTICS AND MINES, NASHVILLE,
August 6, 1S81.-The following estimates OF
the condition of crops in Tennessee at the
close of July, are published for the informa-
ton of the public:
During the entire month of July severe
drouth has prevailed over a large portion OF
the State, with most disastrous effect upon
all growing crops. Though its effects have
been felt over near the entire State, yet
the injury to crops has been most severe
in the rich limestone lands of the great
central basin of Middle Tennessee, where
many of the crops are almost totally de-
stroyed.
Fortunately in East and in West Tennes-
see the results are not SO disastrous With
favorable seasons during the present month
very fair crops will yet be made in those
sections, while it is believed that if rain
should occur soon Middle Tennessee will dc
much better than mary now anticipate.
In view, however, of the great injury to
crops in many localities farmers are urged
to avail themselves of the portion of the
season which yet remains to make such
preparation as they can to carry their stock
safely through the coming winter. Al
straw and other products upon which cattle
may winter, should be carefully saved. So
soon as sufficient rain falls to cause tht
seeds to germinate, millet should be sowr
for hay. Full crops of rye and winter oats
should also be sown for winter pastures. A
good crop of turnips might also prove o.
great value. By such measures as these
and others which the thoughtful farmer vii
discover much suffering and the loss o
stock may be averted. If feed is scarce, be
sure at least to have your stock well housed
Respectfully, A. W. HAWKINS,
Commissioner.

A Probable Fatal Accident.

About half past twelve o'clock last night
Jim Leon, colored man about 40 or 45
years of age, while sitting in window of
the second story of a building on Gay street.,
nearly opposite the Tribune Office, fell tothe
pavement below, crushing his skull and
nearly forcing the eyeballs from their sock
cts. He was, intoxicated at the time, hav-
ing habit of getting in that condition
every Saturday night. DIR. Kennedy re-
sponded to the call for a surgeon, and on
examination pronounced it hopeless case.
Leon is from Carter Station, Tenn, where
he has q wife and children He
has been employed by Kinzel
& Toomey for some months as baker, and
understood his business, his greatest fault
being his propensity for strong drink.
