SHIP BUILDING ON THE PACIFIC COAST.
The merchants and capitalists of San
Francisco have just had a public meet
ing to see what can be done to revive
ship building on the Pacific coast. MIR.
Hopkins, of the California Insurance
Company, was the convener Of the meet
ing. There was a proposition made to
establish a company with capital of
S., 900, 900 to make a start. This was
received with favor. Already" says
the San Francisco Journal Of Com
merce, "vessels of large tonnage have
been built successfully on this coast,
and while we have such harvests as
those of 1880 and 1881, and freights of
from 60 los. Cd. to GA 0s. 3D., there is
no doubt that they will pay. But the
business should be placed above the con-
tingencies of temporary high freights,
and our local laws, as well as the laws
of the United States, should be remodel
led so as to give proper encouragement
to American shipping. We will pay
probably twenty million dollars for
freights this year at least fifteen to six
teen millions-and should be able to d.
vide the greatest part of this amongst
San Francisco ship owners. The amount
will be doubled in a few years"

Honor" and travelling through the State

a fit subject for membership, paid to the
said J. S. Benjamin all the fees he de-
manded, he promising to send the proper

were eleven or twelve dollars. The I'M

The annual hunt in Ireland with the
celebrated Curraghmore hounds under
the direction Of the Marquis of Water
ford. will not take place this fall. The
Irish people have commenced to "boy-
colt" the hunters and kill the dogs.
The Empress of Austria was to have
hunted with them this season, as she usu-
ally does. A correspondent says: "When
the Marquis was out hunting last week
chapel bells rang, horns were blown,
and large multitude of people gathered
and stoned him and his friends. They
pelted the dogs, stabbed several of them
with pitchforks, and hooted and yelled
till they obliged the party to 60 home.
The Curraghmores are the finest pack of
hounds in Ireland. Between e5, 900 and
81, 900 will be lost to the neighborhood
by the break up of the pack.

Joe Jefferson recently stated to St.
Louis newspaper that he was averse to
playing on Sunday. and only did so in
that city because the management as
sured him it was the custom Of iIe place
and the people had no consc' entious
scruples. This statement called forth a
letter to Mr.. Jefferson from the ladies of
the Sabbath Association of that city, in
which they assure the actor that many
thousands of the citizens have strong
scruples against Sunday theatres, and
that many persons will refuse to see him
at all in his plays because they will not
patronize any actor who plays on the
Sabbath.

present nothing is known, may be traced

Gnitaan-His Defense.

The world is very@fully informed at
this time that the assassin Guiteau is to
be accorded as fair and impartial trial
as if he had murdered the humblest citi
zen of the country, instead of having
raised his sacrehgious hand against the
President of the United States. The
world too has been equally as thoroughly
informed as to the line of defense which
his counsel propose to pursue, viz: In
sanity. and that President Garfeld's
death was not to be attributable directly to
the assassin's bullet.
As to the first plea-that of insanity
1t has become of late years too frequent
" employed-and, unfortunately, too
often successfully-to shield red handed
murderers from the justice due their
crimes. In this case, however, not a
shadow Of excuse for Guiteau's act can
be entertained on that score. He I'M
doubleday was impelled to commit the
murder for which he is arraigned by two
motives. First, he ardently desired the
infamous notoriety of the youth who
fired the Ephesian dome; and, second,
he hoped and believed-and he has had
abundant evidence in the past to
encourage the belief--that simply because
President Garfield had given some rea-
son for the hope that he intended to be
President of the whole country, do the
South justice, and strive earnestly to de
stroy sectional prejudice, he (Guiteau)
would receive the plaudits of a large
proportion of his Northern fellow
citizens, and, instead of being re
garded by them as a base and con-
scienceless criminal, would be accorded
the need of praise due to valiant and
gallant hero. These were the rascal Gui-
teau's sole reasons for committing his
villainous crime; but, admitting that he
was insane, never (but once before have
the terse and memorable words of ex-
Governor Wise, of Virginia, when told
that "Old" John Brown should be light
ly dealt with, because he was insane
that "such an insane man ought to be
hung"-been so applicable.
Regarding the second plea to be adj
vanced in defense of the Infamous MUIR
derer-that of the Presidents death not
being directly traceable to the assassin
bullet-it is simply frivolous, and but
one of the many efforts usually resorted
to to delay, and possibly hinder justice.
In this case it will, we doubt not, never
even attract the attention for one instant
of any jury which can be impanneled. 1t
is, therefore, unworthy of discussion.
We do not desire to be, in any way,
instrumental in prejudicing public opin-
ion, or creating a sentiment adverse to
even such a creature as Guiteau, but we
are constrained to believe that so far as
his case has yet been developed, the line
of defense prepared by his counsel will
be, more than anything else, to gain
time, in the hope that popular indigna-
ton against the murderer may be allay-
ed, and that, in this way, he may posi-
bly, go unwhipt of justice. They will
be disappointed, however. 1t is the lot
of all men to die sooner or later, but we
opine that, despite all efforts in his be-
half, Guiteau's end will be accomplished
much sooner than would be the case IN
the ordinary course of nature.

In the Cascade Mountains of Oregon,
about seventy five miles from Jackson
vile, is a remarkable sheet of water
called the Great Sunken Lake. 1t is
thought to averages, 900 feet down to
the water all around. The depth of the
water is unknown. The surface is said
to be never ruffled, the banks being so
high that air currents do not affect it.
Its length is estimated at twelve to
fifteen miles, and its width at ten to
twelve. There is a mountain in the
centre having trees upon it. The lake
lies still, silent and mysterious in the
bosom of the everlasting hills, like huge
well scooped out by the hands of the
giant senii of the mountains.

The Coming Trouble.

As It now seems to be almost certain that
this years cotton crop, at least as far as Tex
as is concerned, will be Ms large If not larger
than il has ever before been, the great troub-
lie to be spprebepded this summer and
fall will be the scarcity of labor. Hundreds
and thous snds of lsborers both male and
female will undoubtedly be- in demand soon
at prices ranging from 81 to 81 so per day,
and where they will come from will prove q
serious question. Not only the cotton, but
the general crop, croskers TO the contrary
notwithstanding, will be immense,
and the importance of taking speedy and
vigorous steps 10 obtain labor cannot be too
sincerely or deeply impressed upon the pub
lie. Railroads, emigration agents, and sill
others should not fail 10 insugurste meas.
ures In this direction a soon as possible and
on every occasion.
