ENGLISH GRAIN MARKETS.

The Poor Condition of the Home Pro-
duct Creates q Better Inquiry for
American Wheat-Brisk Demand and
Better Prices for Flour, Especially from
the Hard Varieties of Grain. :S
LONDON, Sept 19.-The Mark Lane Er-
press in a review of the grain trade last week
benefited agriculture, but it is altogether too
late to alter the position of the harvest in its
relation to the grain grade. Nearly
everything offered is unfit to
grind without foreign admixture
Prices of native wheats have not materially
changed since Mondsy. large proportion OF the
sales made are for feeding Ga this basis the pub
lished rates range from 22s to 35s Per quarter.
Trade both in London and the provinces closed de-
cidedly weak, for all home descriptions. Foreign
breadstuffs have not quotably changed tince Mon
The condition of the great bu of native deliveries
created demand for hard whvat not anticipated
month ago. This, therefore, has advanced lO2s In
the last fortnight. The weeks supply ct foreign
wheat in London Is $50 quarters of which 81, 1854
quarters were American, and OF foreign -four l2,6O9
sacks, the greater proportion being American.
Strong red wheat ours are in much request at latest
quotations, but weaker fours, such as Californian
and Australian, rather depressed.
The price of maize was rather against buyers at

market lost its tone since Wednesday,

STAR ROUTE CASES.
Explanation of District Attorney CorkhilI
Upon the Grand Jury Recess.

Explanation of District Attorney CorkhilI
Upon the Grand Jury Recess.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.-The criticism on
District Attorney Corkhill for giving the
grand jury recess, instead of promptly taking
up the star route cases, has brought out a
defense, which it is understood is from Cork
hill himself. In this defense it is stated "that
when the present grand jury adjourned
last summer, it was we'll understood by
officers of the court and the foreman
of the grand jury, that the regular term
would not commence till the first of October,
and the district attorney informed the foreman
there would be no trouble, unless some I'M
usual emergency should arise, in his being
excused the last two weeks in September. In
consequence no witnesses were summoned
and only one case was presented. 1t is
also proper to state that District
Attorney Corkhiil was informed by the at
torney general before he left for Long Branch
be would be notified in ample time when the
special cases would be ready for presentation
to the grand jury and proceed with his regular
official duties without any ref
erence to him." There was an impression
in the public mind when the grand jury was
dismissed last summer that tue star route
cases were to be taken up in September. This
impression vas created by the remarks of
Col. Cook and others connected with the star
route not then informed of the
understanding the grand jury would not enter
on its work until October. 1t was because of
the statements of Cook and others of the
prosecution that the star route cases would
be ready in September, that so much has been
said in the way of criticism for the recent
dismissal of the grand jury. 1t is now said
that unless Guiteau's trial intervenes, the star
route cases will be taken up next month.

COMMANDER KoUNTz, OHIO.
Commander Kountz, of the department. Of
Ohio Grand Army of the Republic, has issued
the following order on the death of President
Garfield.
Headquarters Department of Ohio, Grand
Army of the Republic, Assistant AdjHtant
Generals Office, Toledo, O., Sept. 20, 1881:
General orders No. S-With overwhelming
sorrow the department commander announces
the death of Comrade ]. A. Garfield, the pres
ident of the United States. After period of
prolonged atfiictlon, unexampled in it's suffer.
ing and sublime in it's lessons of fOrtitude and
hopeful endurance, he has been
followed throughout by So
licitude born of a soldiers
knowledge of suffering and with hope
grounded in soldiers faith in providence. 1t
is soldiers submission with which we bow
in sorrow with the common country at it's
shrine, wherein is laid one more martyr.
President Comrade Garfield came to the head
of the nation in the fullness of glorious
manhood, browning brilliant service not only
in craftsmanship but upon the field, where he
shared with us the camp and the battle. He
was a member of the department of the Poto
mac and has ever been among 4the proudest,
the staunchest and the truest in his love for
the II. A. II. AS we nave Deen PROUD 10 snare
his comradeship, so will we be to join in per-
petuating his memory in recognition of the
great truths, our organization has sustained
and the calamity to our nation, the colors of
the posts of this department will be suitably
draped in mourning and the same worn by the
post and staff officers on duty for the period
of sixty days. 1t is suggested that posts take
suitable action in the form of resolutions,
which having been spread upon the minutes
should be forwarded to these headquarters for
record.

Department Commander.

METHODIST CONFERENCE.
The Methodist ecumenical conference dis
cussed the subject of foreign missions; the
use of the press in the non-christian coun-
tries for the promotion of gospel mission
work req uired in papal and semi infdel ma
lions; the especial need of cooperative Meth
odism in papal and pagan lands; the resources
of Methodism in numbers, wealth, organization
and spiritual life for the work of the worlds
conversion and the best means of developing
and employing them. The conference ex-
pressed very general feeling in favor of iu-
creased support to schools for training of
native converts in various heather countries
to missionary work. Rev. M. Moorman, of
the Southern Episcopal church, asked English
support for training colleges in the South, SO
as TO enable an increased number of negro
missionaries to be sent to Africa. Clark, of
Georgia, and Price, of South Carolina, spoke
in the same sense.

1T Ought to Shame Then.
New York World.]

New YORK world.
Minnesota bondholders will find in our
dispatches from St. Paul another proof
of our position that Republicans are
marching on to reputation by the way
of Richmond, and under the lead of Ma
hone and the COMMITTEE of safety
called the cabinet; for the Minnesota SUI
preme court on Saturday last issued a
writ of prohibition against further pro-
ceedings on the part of the tribunal au-
thorlzed by the last legislature to adjust
its defaulted bonds. We said at the time
of the passage of that enabling act that
it was temporary expedient to lull dem
ocratic protest against the shameless re-
pudiation by a rich State of obligations
declared to be not only honorable but
valid by three legal tribunals. The SUI
preme court determines that the act is
unconstitutional because any project to
pay the bonds must be submitted to a
popular vote. But this submission was
made once before and defeated by about
the average Republican majority which
rules the state. All honest men will
hope that singing defeat of the Repub-
lican alliance in Virginia with repudia-
ton may tend to shame the Minnesota
Republicans next year into assisting Min
nesota Democrats to wipe out the stain of
repudiation from their State.

address by Judge Nelson

The United States circuit court opened at
10 O'Clock yesterday morning, pursuant to
adjournment. The jurymen were in their
places ready to proceed with the HARDWOOD
case, but there was an absence of the usual
hustle and excitement preceding the opening
of court. A few interested lawyers conversed
in low tones and the room was pervaded by
an air of usual solemnity.
Judge Nelson took his seat at 10 O'Clock and
at once addressed the members of the bar and
jury as follows:
ga great calamity has befallen this govern
ment by the death of its chief magistrate.
Amid times of prosperiJy-at the outset Of a
career promising much good to the country
when the eloquent words of his inaugural
scarcely had died upon the ear. Gen. Garfield
was stricken by the bullet of an assassin. His
strong and vigorous constitution was sapped
and mined, and he expired last evening, sur
rounded by devoted family and friends. The
work of the assassin is complete. The people
mourn his death, though not unexpected. 1t
Is proper that we give expression of our sor-
rev at this sad bereavement. / leave it with
you, gentlemen, to suggest the method"
After the court had concluded, Hon. John
NJ. Gilman arose, and after abiding to the ma
tional calamity in appropriate terms, he moved
that the court adjourn until this morning.
Inc IHOGlOil "do aCCOPeod unanimously, WuOlO-
upon the clerk was directed to eugross the
order, and the court adjourned until II O'Clock
this morning.
THE CITY AUTHORITIES.
Mayor Rice was at his office early yesterday
morning and conferred with several officials
as to the propriety of draping the city hall
and taking such other action of a public char
ac!er as was deemed proper. 1t was decided
to drape the outside of the building and the
offices therein with appropriate emblems of
mourning, and also the several fire engine
houses. In addition to his a proclamation
WIS issued causing the city hall bell to be
tnlird from - O'Clock up to o'clock and in
viting the clergy of the churches to join in
the latter tribute.

LET THE LAW TAKF ITS COURSE.

While there was doubt relative to the
result of Guiteau's bullet, the nature of
his legal punishment remained uncertain.
Under such circumstances the talk of
lynch1ng the assassin was not surprising,
as nothing short of death is adequate
punishment for the attempt, even if it
had not been a successful murder. With
the death of the president the pen
atty becomes clearly defined. Guiteau
must pay the penalty of his crime
with his life-a poor payment, it is true,
but conclusive as far as he is concerned
This is all that can be taken from him
and that should be done decently and in
order. The law will take Guiteau's life.
A mob could do NO more so far as he is
concerned, but it would bring disgrace
upon the entire country to have him ex-
ecuted by lynching. Unfortunately his
sufferlngs can be prolonged but a few
minutes, but the mental torture the
coward is now experiencing is something

Yesterday dawned bright, pure and beauti.
full as bride arrayed for the wedding guests
| Nature delights in caprice, and in the presence
of a widespread feeling of gloom the spark
ling face of mother earth seemed almost
cruel.
The great heart of the city beat tenderly
warm and responsive to the anguish and sor-
| row that commenced where the ashes of the
distinguished statesman Law peacefully at rest
by the ocean, and spread like wave until il
enveloped the farm house, village and popu-
| lous marts of man.
To the many who had not heard of the
| presidents death until the morning papers
carried the mournful news, and those who APP
| few indeed, the intelligence was received with
awe and sorrow.
The shock was modified owing to the par
| tial preparation consequent upon weary weeks
of almost helpless illness. To the great mass
of citizens the news was heard with sorrowful
resignation to the inevitable; to few it was
received with the effect of shock, but by all
the intelligence was accepted with unfelgned
sadness.
The streets were early astir with crowds of
citizens anxious to ascertain minute particu-
lars of the circumstances attending the dying
moments of the dead statesman. Business
men exchanged their customary salutations,
and in quiet tones spoke of the sad news. 1t
was not the kind of day for misanthrope
or recluse; there was too much manly sincere
emotion abroad for this sort of human vegeta-
BILE to thrive upon.
There could be no mistaking the deep-seated
feeling that agitated every breast and occu-
pied every brain, for the time being, to the
exclusion of other emploYments. Even
childhood stopped in its prattling career OF
jollity to lisp some expression of vague and
unlntelligible sorrow.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. l9.-Hostillities be
tween Gen. Peyton Wise and United States
District Attorney Lewis, have been impending
for the last twenty-four hours. The bad
feeling between these gentlemen grew out of
the abusive reference made by Lewis to repre-
sensations made by Geo. A. Wise, brother of
Gen. Wise, iu a political speech Thursday
night. Gen. Wise resented the Offense and
Yesterday published a communication in the

The result was that Lewis is understood to

tions, and ask that they be adopted:
By the Common Council Of the city of st. Paul
The shadow Of the terrible calamity which befel
this nation when its chief magistrate James A. Gar
neid, was stricken down by reckless assassin has
deepened into death.
The loug suspense is ended and ended In sadness.
The people are bowed in grief. Hoping against
their fears no longer, the universal sympathy Il
turned back in tears
Be it resolved,
First-That In the death of James A. Garfield W.

purity OF his personal character, distinguished fol

THE NATION MOURNS.

As the first shock occasioned by the
death of the president passes away, set.
tied grief rests upon the country. Gen.
Garfield was magnetic, and drew to him
self personal friends wherever known,
which were beyond and independent OF
politics. He was, withal, a typical Amer
loan, who had sprung from the lowliest
condition to the highest in the land
This led him to be looked upon
with pride by his countrymen, who
never had any acquaintance with
him and occasion the feeling of person
al loss which never exists where death
occurs among stilted royalty. In a
monarchy change of rulers is heredi-
tary form in which the great public feel
no interest because it is foreordained.
But in a free Republic the people feel
that their chosen ruler is one of them
selves. This was most literally so in the
case of General Garfield. He had sprung
from beginnings which were standing
notice to the humblest in the land that
they could elevate themselves if thew
would. His lite and career was a glow
ing monument to our free institutions.
and the fatal shaft which pierced his
body wounded fifty millions of people
who held him in regard as their repre-
sentative.
The personal sorrow of the bereayed
family is too deep and sacred to be dis
turbed, but as the hours roll on since the
great heart ceased to beat the feel
ing OF sympathy grows apace, and
millions are mentally standing beside
Mrs. Garfield, claiming the privilege of
joining in a grief which is to them per-
sonal affection. This country has never
been so profoundly moved, and never
made SO sorrowful as by this event.
1t is no empty form, but heartfelt and
sincere, and mourning nation bows its
head in mute sorrow before the cruel
affection which has so sadly bereft it.
