The new jury law prescribes heavy
penalty upon persons who attempt to
get on iuries. The Clerk, Auditor and
Treasurer are constituted Board of
Commissioners, who are to meet at the
Auditors office the second Monday in
May and select one elector for every
sixty of the population in the county.
The names are to be written on slips
of paper and placed in a wheel, which
must be emptied and new names put
in every year.
The wheel is to be locked in the
presence of the Commissioners, and is
to be unlocked only by order of the
Court, when the names are to be
drawn.
There is a heavy penalty for tamper-
turn the wheel and draw names there
from by order of the Court in the
presence of the Court and the Sheriff.
1t will be observed that this law rev.
Olutionizes the system of drawing ju-
ries, takes away the occupation of the
professional juror, and deprives town
ship trustees and members of city
councils of the privilege of designating
what names shall go into the jury box
from their respective districts. The
penalty against professional Jurors is
very severe. Itsays: eff any person
shall attempt, by request, hint or sug-
gestion to influence said officers, or
any of them, to select or not select
himself or any other person, he shall
be deemed guilty of misdemeanor,
and upon conviction shall be fined not
less than 800, or imprisoned in the
county Jail for not more that twenty
days, or both.-[Ex.

Bitter War Between the Ad nm q i
tration and the New York Boss

Bitter War Between the Adm nj ..
tration and the New York Boss.
On Thursday last President Garfield
sent to the Senate Executive Session
a message Withdrawing all the New
York nominations except that of
Judge Robertson for Collector of the
port of New York. The nominations
withdrawn are as follows: Stewart
L. Woodford, United States Attorney
for the Southern District; Asa w.
Tenny, United States Attorney for the
Eastern District; Lewis F. Payne,
United States Marshal for the South
ern District; Clinton ID. McDougall,
United States Marshal for the North
ern District; John Tyler, Collector of
Customs for the District of Buffalo.
These belong to the Stalwart wing Of
the party, and are understood to be
acceptable to Conkling, and the action
of the President is regarded as di-
rect snub to the great New York chief,
and the commencement of open hos
tilities between the factions. Conk-
ling will not brook this affront, but
will strike back, and we may expect to
witness one of the liveliest little scrim-
images between these two factions of
the happy family that was ever seen
in this country. Let the dance go on.
When rogues fall out. honest men
stand some chance to get their dues.

A Complete Backdswn.

After two months of persistent ef.
fort to carry ont the corrupt bargain
with "rebel brigadier repudiator
Malone, the Republicans backed COM
pletely down from their ridiculous
position, ON the 4th inst, and the SEN
ate went into executive session for the
consideration of the business for
which that body was convened. Du-
ring the entire time since the session
commenced the Democratic members
have been willing and anxious to &C
complish that work, and have nearly
every day moved and voted to that
end, but on every occasion were de.
feated by the vote of Malone and the
Vice President, but they have faith
fally persevered until they finally sue
ceeded in defeating the corrupt cosli.
tion, and the Republicans were com.
PEELED to succumb to their policy.
They have fought the good fight and
won the crown of glory.

The great twenty-mile race for a
stake of SO, 900, between Miss Minnie
Pinneo and Miss Nellie Curtis, is to
take place on the track at Denver,
COL, on the Goth inst, and promises to
be one of the most exciting contests
that ever took place on this continent.
Each lady is to be limited to the use of
eight horses, to change when, where,
and in what manner she may please.
The race is to be ridden Oh a lady $
side-saddle, each party to carry equal
weights, and each lady to wear regu-
lation skirt which shall touch the floor
when the wearer stands erect. The
judges to be selected in the ordinary
manner, are to determine the result.
The race is to be run without any stip-
ulation as to the manner of riding, or
the gait of the animal. From the ut
terance of the first formal command,
"go," the only concern on the part of
each fair equestrienne will be to get the
utmost time out of each foam-fecked,
blooded animal, and out of each flying
moment, and in the grand finale of the
fortieth round of the speed track, the
one passing first under the wire will be
adjudged the winner. Already the ex-
element runs high and the friends of
the respective equestriennes are put
ting up big money" on their favor
ties.

Mr.. B. r. Colt were very fine and
were nobIy delivered. The drama,

the actors in the farce, "Never Say

performed the part of an unbleached
American very well, and Mr.. B. r.
Colt handled the part of an hexhas-

program for Friday evening was finely

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, May 6, 1881.


Everyone, Republican or Democrat,
is pleased that the Senate has reeps.
work. / t can do all that is NED
in few days and will adjourn by the
18th, unless some unforeseen event oc-
ours to prevent. Most of the nomina-
tions made by the President are of un-
exceptionable men and confirmation
will be speedy. 1t was said this morn
ing that in Difference to wishes of
Southern Senators, the President
E. Chandler as Solicitor General, and
tender him foreign appointment.
Whether he shall do SO or not the
Democratic Senators generally will
vote to confirm all the nominations
except Chandler.
Not much is yet known of the rea-
sons which induced the President to
withdraw the New York nominations
yesterday. Evidently only what he
considered great provocation from Sem
ator Conkling would have caused him
to take that course. Until more is
known L think people generally will
regret that the President has entered
into what seems to be merely quarrel
over a few offices.
An interesting publication has been
made during the week, being letter
written by General Garfield in August
last, IN which Second Assistant POST
master General Brady is specially
mentioned as one who could render ef-
fective service in raising campaign
funds. The letter is of little interest
except that it gives the Presidents en-
emies an opportunity to connect his
name with the noted "Star" route
mail contracts, then and now believed
by many to be fraudulent. 'Ass there
is evidently to be lively contest be-
tween the President and other Repub-
licans, and the letter will be used freely
give it in full, each reader can give
it his own construction.
MENTOR, OHIO, August 25, $50.
My Dear Hubbell Yours of the
10Th inst, received and contents noted.
Please say to Brady that hope he
think he can help effectively. Please
tell me how the Departments generally
are doing. AS ever yours;
J. A. GARFIELD.
Hon. J. A. Hubbell, Washington.
The Commissioner Of Agriculture
exhibited to leading grocers yesterday
samples of the tea raised in Georgia.
Without exception the experts de-
clared the tea as good as any imported.
The President has decided to attend
the centennial of the battle of Cowpens
to be held at Spartansburg, S. c., on
the 11th inst. He will be accompanied
by several members of his Cabinet.
The party will leave here in q special
train. on the morning of the 10th inst.

Tho methods by which the "Star
route" robberies were accomplished
consisted In raising the compensations
after the contracts were let, upon the
ground of increased or expedited !"
service. For instance: A and B are
competitors for contract worth about
$4,000, over q route requiring three
trips a week. A is an honest bidder,
and files his estimate in good faith. b
is jobber, and by an understanding
with the authorities in charge of the
letting, makes his bid below the actual
cost Of performing the service. He
gets the job, and straightway sets
about getting signatures along the
route petitioning for daily trips and
expedited service. In accordance
with this petition, his compensation
is increased to $4,000 or 100000.
This sort of thing being done on about
ninety-three routes, makes a good
thing not only for the contractors but
for their confederates in the Depart
ment with whom they are supposed
to divide. In most of these cases the
increase in compensation is nearly all
profit, as the extra expense lis but
slight. Yet it is all done within the
letter of the law, and the records of
the contract Office are in perfect order.
Thus, though the method by which
the Government has been deeced OF
millions is very apparent, it is difficult
to prove actual fraud in the transac-
tions. The mere fact of the Assistant
Postmaster General raising the pay on
a stage line from $4,000 to 5000 900,
thus making the delivery of every
letter on the route cost from $500 to
$500, shows the swindling character
of the transactions.

The Year without a Su m m O. i.


We continue to receive occasional
inquiries concerning the "year in
| which there was no summer" Some
persons appear to have a wrong idea
as to the time. 1t was the year 1916.
1t has been called the "year without
a summer" for there was sharp frost
in every month. There are old farm
ers still living in Connecticut who re-
member it well. 1t was known as the
"year without . summer" The far
mers used to refer to it as "eighteen
hundred and starve to death" Janu-
airy was mild, as was also February,
with the exception of a few days.
The greater part of March was cold
and boisterous. April opened warm,
but grew colder as it advanced, ending
with snow and ice and winter cold.
In May ice formed half an inch thick,
buds and flowers were frozen, and corn
killed. Frost, ice and snow were COM
mon in June. Almost every green
thing was killed, and the fruit was
nearly all destroyed. Snow fell 10 the
depth Of three inches. in New York
aud Massachusetts,, and ten inches in
Maine. July was accompanied with
frost and ice. On tho 9th ice was FORM
ed of the thickness of window glass
in New York, New England and Penn
sylvania, and corn was nearly all de-
streyed In certain sections. In August
ice formed half an inch thick. A cold
north west wind prevailed nearly all
summer.
Corn was 80 frozen that great deal
was cut down and dried for fodder.
Very little ripened in New England,
even here in Connecticut, and scarcely
any even in the Middle States. Far
mers were obliged to pay 81 or So
bushel for corn of 1915, for seed for
the next springs planting. The frst
two weeks of September were mild,
the rest Of the month was cold, with
frost, and ice was formed quarter of
al inch thick. October was more than
usually cold, with frost and ice. No
vember was cold and clustering, with
snow enough for good sleighing. De-
cember was quite mild and comforta-
