A POWERFUL RULER.

Jay Gould to-day yields more power
than any monarch on earth. The Amer
lean people, dlstrustful of their own
good sense, suspicious of the officers they
elect to legislative and executive posi-
tions, will not permit the government
which represents them to control the
corporations; but they allow four ire
sponsible individuals the right to tax
them at pleasure and the business IN
terests of the country are absolutely at
their mercy. To every other nation on
earth the telegraph is part of the pos
tai service and Is owned and controlled
by the government. In this country
the telegraph is practically the property
of one man, and he the most dangerous
and unfit person for such trust to be
found anywhere The owner of the tel
egraph is absolutely master of the press.
Without the news, the journals of the
day would be impotept. Jay Gould
can issue the order and the offending
journal becomes bankrupt. He is also
in position to misquote the markets of
the world. A variation of one cent a
bushel in grain, of one penny a pound
in cotton, is fortune in one day to him
who can make that quotation. Jay
Gould has the power to misquote on the
markets of the world every product and
security dealt in on our exchanges. II
any other country than the United
States the whole nation would rise anC
protest against such astounding authori
ty being lodged in the hands of the pur
est of men.

district attorney. Mr. ScoVille thinks
that these clippings cut from stalwart
journals, abusing the President for his
''war upon Conkling," deeply affected
the disordered mind of Guiteau, and
impelled him to the commission of the
horrible and cowardly crime of which he
stands accused. Upon these documents,
it is understood, Mr.. Scoville depends
to a considerable extent to establish the
plea of Guiteau's insanity. But the
DRY that would account for lads run
ming away to sea after reading Cooper
novels OF for the boy of the period arm
ing himself with revolver and start
ing for the Plains of exterminate In
dams and buffaloes, would hardly &C
count for an atrocious crime like Gui-
teau's. Guiteau is simply miserable,
cowardly assassin with an unbalanced
mind and an inextinguishable craving
for notoriety.
The following arc the jurors who
were selected: On Wednesday the three
jurors necessary to make the twelve
were chosen, and the jury thus chosen
was impanelled. 1t consists of the fol
lowing persons: John 2. Hamlin, Amer.
lean, restaurant keeper; Frederick w
Brandenburg, German, a cigar manu-
facturer; Henry J. Bright American
retired merchant; Charles J. Stewart
merchant; Thomas H. Langley. grocer
Michael Sheenan, grocer; Samuel F
Hobbs, plasterer; G. W. Gates, ma

Browner. grocer; Thomas Heinelin
machinist, and Joseph Prathom.
A large number of witnesses were ex
amined during the latter part of th'
week, whose testimony detailed the cir
cumstances already reported in regart

The aesthetic demand of the day for at
tractive packages, as we'll as for whole

compel invention in the direction of
such marvellous machines. The trouble,
delay, uncertainties and waste of the

with by this method of machine pack
ing. for it is positively cheaper to have
packages done up tastefully, uniformly
and reliably, than by hand labor. which
is sometimes neither neat nor correct.

connective will have little donkey en-
CINE to run around and gather up the
necessary supplies of water, coal, &C.,

more bother than man winding his

full, the things packed are scarcely less
SO, or the novel way in which they are

at this house, you get what you pay for,
pure goods, adulteration being an un-

good things you can't get elsewhere, in
bewildering variety. The latest idea,
fancy, is the packing of whole roasted
coffee in the bean. This article was
formerly principally sold unroasted and
in bulk, but the perfection and uniform
ity with which coffee can be roasted and

CONFEDERATE PROPERTY.

If the New York Herald is correctly in
formed our Government has been making
efforts in the past to collect the assets
held abroad which belonged to the Con-
federate Government when it collapsed.
The inventory Of the assets shows that
there are $29,000,O00 in Europe and
SIl, ZOO, 900 IN the United Stated $40,-
000,O 900 in all. OF this it is claimed
that $ll 100000 is in good money de-
posted to the credit of the Confederate
Government in Vienna, Brussels, Paris.
London. etc. According to the Herald
contracts have been made with parties
to collect some part of these effects of
the deceased government. of which the
United States appears to be the natural
heir. The success has not been remark
able. Thus far the Government has re-
allied $4,000, and to secure this requir-
ed gigantic effort. To start, the Gov
eminent paid 80 per cent. to the con-
tractor and then paid commissioner, a
Treasury agent and the expenses. So
that for $4,000 of Confederate prop
erty actually captured the Treasury was
enriched only $4,000. The fact that
nearly twenty years have elapsed since
the war, in which little, if anything
has been heard of this large amount Of
money, leads one to suspect that it is in
the nature of Captain Kidd's buried
treasures, and like them will never SEE
light of day.

THE TRIAL OF GUITEAU.

The trial of the assassin, Guiteau be-
gan at Washington Monday. AS was
foreshadowed by the later reports, the
empanelling of a jury proved not SO diff
6cult task as at one time imagined.
owing. apparently, to an application of
the rules of common-sense instead of a
rigid construction of the requirements
of the law. Had the absurd regulations
prevailed that we often see enforced in
important criminal trials, which practi-
cally keep out of the jury box all men
of education and intelligence, an indef
mite time might have been spent in this
preliminary, and in the end a jury
equally desirable might be found IN the
idiot ward of an insane asylum. AS it
is, jury can be found with moderate
difficulty who may be trusted to give
the respondent fair hearing-and to
that, however atrocious his crime, he is
fully entitled. Guiteau showed either
his desire to prove his own lunacy or
his abnormal thirst for notoriety by
springing up like jack in-the-boX at the
opening of the trial with statement"
which he wished to read, but he was
summarily and very properly squelched
by the presiding judge. AS to his
counseps application for delay, that
sort of thing is pure nonsense. In such
case the trial should be prompt,
speedy and impartial and in this mat
ter justice has already been too long de-
layed.
The trial is before Judge Cox, who is
reputed one of the most learned judges
on the local bench. Judge Cox has
designated Hon. S. S. Henkle of Wash
ington one of the ablest and oldest at
torneys at the District bar, to assist
Messrs. Scoville and Robinson in their
defence of Guiteau; and the District
attorney and ex-Judge John K. Porter
of New York, will conduct the case fol
the Government. According to Mr.
Scoville, the defense will rest their cast
on the plea of insanity. Il shall fol
