We can no longer regard the transactions
as an evidence Of unmixed prosperity. As-
suredly It is not gain to the country that
the crops Of wheat and corn have proved
comparatively small; still less Is it q gain
that prices have been advanced 80 rapidly,
and so fur, that domestic and foreign con.
simers alike are slow to take from the
dealers the enormous and rapidly accumu.
lating stocks on hand.
In cotton the situation Is not very differ.
ent, though the "corner" in that article has
been operated in Liverpool rather than
here.
The price Of petroleum has been arti-
.tlcially, and to all appearances, unreason-
ably advanced, and the upward movement
In the hog products, though it il excused
at present In tho apUspeCt that corn will be
dear, was commenced and pushed far early
In the year before that prospect existed.
Excessive speculation, basedon the mere
plethora of money on the expansion OF
credits, IL an unhealthy symptom; but II is
certainly not less unhealthy when in addi.
tion to the monetary catFses II has for n
basis mn important decrease In the conn-
try's production. The favorable symptom
Is legitimate. Commerce and nearly all
branches Of manufacture are prosperous,
and the volume Of trade, aside from all
speculative tmnSactions is evidently very
large. Though the farmers have short
crops, they have the prospect Of high prices
for what they have to sell, and several
years remarkable prosperity has enabled
them to purchase freely Notwithstanding
one season Of comparative misfortune. Tho
fnll and winter trade will be the largest in
the history Of the country, apparently, and
the crops Of 1881, though smaller than were
expected, will probably prove more val.
liable to producers than the crops Of any
previous year except 1870 and 1880.

WASHINGTON, October 5.-Betore Presi-
dent Arthur went to New York last week
his attention was called to the vacancy on
the Supreme Bench caused by the death Of
Justice Clifford. The President was told
that owing to the inability Of Justice Hunt
and the fact that Justice Field would be
unable to be present for some weeks the
Court would be obliged to meet with but
six Of the nine Justices present, 1t was
suggested to the President that the su-
preme Bench, Us well as the bar, would be
gratified II he would give the matter such
early attention as was consistent with his
other duties, The President desires to
make this appointment as soon us he can
fix upon a jurist whose name will satisfy
not only the legal demands which the place
calls for, but also those rather delicate
political considerations which it has been
the custom to heed in making appoint
ments for the Bench.
The President, it is believed, Is quite Us
likely to make the appointment from New
York as from New England, New York is
practically unrepresented in the court
owing to the inability OF Justice Hunt, and
Justice Bradley is really the only active
representative Of the region east Of the Al
leghany Mountains,
Some Of the members Of the bar here
who practise before the Supreme Court
have reasons to think that the President, II
he can fix upon q satisfactory person, will
send in the appointment Of Justice ut the
extra session,
THE PRESIDENTS SOUTHERN Foley,
Some Of Senator Aiahone's Virginia
friends who are here say that President
Arthur has given the Senator every assur-
ance that the Readjuster movement in
Virginia, so far MS II represents progress and
a tendency to break up the rigid Democra-
cy Of that State, receives his entire approy-
al. Senator Malone had frequent cOnver.
sations with the President before the
Senate adjourned. General Arthur was
then very anxious to obtain all OF the in
formation possible regarding the political
situation In the South, and was especially
interested in anything that could be said
respecting the growth Of industry and the
impulse which is spreading throughout the
Southern States to develop their immense
resources.
Senator Malone recently told friend
here that President Arthur's policy re-
garding the South will be as favorable to
that section AZ that OF General Garfield,
and that the President desires above all
things to see thoroughly national spirit
throughout the Southern States such as was
evincGd ut the time Of President GarAeld's
death. II during his administration the
South should cease to be spoken Of as q
party section, but merely ms q geographical
section OF the country like tho East or tho
West or the North, the President would be
gHtifed, even Il his administration should
make no remarkable success In any other
direction.

THE ASSASSIN AND Ills PLEAS.

G. W. scoville revisited Guiteau this
morning and remained two hours. lie
found his client more nervous in regard to
the results Of the trial than yesterday, and
in a more humble mood. Yesterday he
wanted to map out the plan Of defense, and
was full Of suggestions. To-day he was
quite ready To submit. lie hns furnished
Scoville with minute list Of places where
witnesses may be sought for as to his acts
and mental condition during the lust ten
years, and especially during the Inst three
years. Guiteau was yesterday averse to
The plea Of insanity, saying II would prove
weak one in his case. He was willing TO.
day to allow scoville todecide the point, and
promised to obey implicitly his directions.
Scovile relies much upon the testimony to
be obtained in this District There are
many who came in contact with the assas-
sin here ut hotels and boarding houses, be.
tween March 5 and July 2, who he thinks
will, II called upon to swear, be obliged to
say that they thought him derlnged
man. Such opinions will now be called
reluctantly, but they will be all the more
powerful rs evidence.

Why Gloves Are Now Worn.

Heart-burning is feeble term for
the state of anguish into which various
strata of American snnboracy finds it.
self plunged anent the fateful qu uestion
of gloves. Washington, where new no.
tions penetrate slowly, was astonished
several times during the season Just
past by the incursiOn of various travel
ed glasses of fashion and mOlds of form
who made their enterance to the Re-
publican court ungioved. This was
naturally an innovation that struck dis
may into the well-drilled ranks of Cap
tolian society. The contest waged vio-
lently for time, but the ungloved in
vaders carried the day, and the glove
is now solemnly abolished from polite
society. The fact illustrates the whim-
sical basis upon which conventions rest.
One day the Prince of Wales, who is
very stout and very fat, and whose
hands are not comfortable in gloves,
owing to disagreeable tendency to
moisture, drove off in a hurry to hold
levee for the Queen. On arriving at
the drawing-room he found himself
SlONeless. IL was 100 EltC 10 SenQ, and,
as it wouldn't be etiquet for the rest to
wear gloves when the Prince has none,
the ceremony was a gloveless one.
Thenceforth gloves were banished from
the great social ceremonials, and even
the street. The fashion has come to
this country. During the last two years
gentlemen have appeared everywhere
ungloved,-in the street, in the draw
ing-room, the opera, and the theatre.
In France, however, it would be con-
sidered as improper to appear in a
drawing.room ungloved, as ,vnshod.
But as gloves are cheaper on the Con-
tinent than in this country or England,
the proprieties may be observed at
less cost.

United States may regulate, limit or
suspend such coming or residence, but
may not absolutely prohibit it. The
limitation or suspension shall be rea-
sonable and shall apply only to the
Chinese who may come to the United
States rs laborers, other classes not
being included in the limitations.
The second section provides that the
Chinese subjects who come to this
country as teachers, students, mer-
chants or from curiosity, together with
their body and household servants, shall
have the right to come and go freely.
1t also guarantees to Chinese labor
ers who are now in the United States
that they shall be allowed to go and
come of their own free will and ac-
cord. "...-

JUDGE HENRY A. GILDERsLEEvE, who

Ihas gotten into trouble as judicial
ol6cer in New York. His impeach-

that he made a corrupt bargain with
0ne of his appointees about the courts
Whereby in consideration OF such ap-
pointment the person thus favored was
topay out of his salary of 81, 200 a
year $50 month to a mother of the
judge; that such money was paid for a
ing time, but when payments were
pended the judge discharged the
Appointee. The judge admits the ar
I0hgement, but AYERS that it was enter
"a into innocently.
