GUITEAU, in recent interview with
Gath, declares that our esteemed friend
Hutchins is the only Washington editor
who still enjoys his confidence. Gorham
he describes as a treacherous fellow, who,
after leading him to believe that Garfield
ought to be removed for the good of the
Republican party, basely turned upon him
in his extremity. As for the feeble residue
of Washington journalists, Guiteau dis
misses them as "small fry" beueath his
notice. But he puts his trust in Hutch.

AN ARMY OF PENSIONERS.

Commissioner Dudley reports that the
295, 695 pensioners on the list at the end
of the last fiscal year, June 80 1882, have
been classified. There are 113, 13S army
and 2, 361 navy invalids, 75,44S army and
1858 navy widows, minor children and
dependent relatives; 7,134 survivors Of
the war of 1912, and "a, G61 widows Of
those who served IN the war of 1912. The
total amount paid to pensioners since
1861 is $500, 641, 1925 rs. 1t is an astound-
ing fact that almost one-ffth of the whole
amount expended for pensions since the
beginning of the war twenty one years ago
will be paid for the same purpose during
the present year. And there are 800, 966
claims for pensions yet to be considered.
The classification of pensioners reported
by Commissioner Dudley is excellent, but
it does not satisfy the public demand for
information concering them. Why not
publish their names? Those who are just
ly drawing pensions should not object to
the publication, and tens of thousands of
fraudulent pensioners would be exposed
to deserved disgrace. Give their names.

CHLOROFORM ANDTHE GALLOWS.

How to remove condemned murdererS
from the world as humanely as possible
is the problem with which the Vermont
legislator is struggling who on Tuesday
introduced bill provided that prisoners
shall be made insensible before execution
1t would be absurd to hang man while
in the deadly stup0r produced by chloro-
form, and the measure amounts i'll reali-
ty to proposition to abolish the gallows.
II chloroform is administered to con-
demned murderers, either poison will be
given with it or 4 surgeon will be employ
ed to drain the blood from the bodies of
the insensible culprits. 1t is not likely
that a substitute for the gallows will be
adopted. Horrible forms of execution
have been in use in past ages. Decapi-
tation is almost as old as the world. Cru
cifxion was practiced in France as late
as the twelfth century, burning at the
stake as late as the seventeenth, break
ing at the wheel was not abolished until
1889, and the drowning Of witches was not
prohibited until afteI the reign of Louis
Nj. Playing alive, implement and ston-
ing to death were common punshments
during the first thousand years of the
Christian era, but with the advance of civ
ilization such barbarities of justice have
ceased and now hanging is the common
form ofexecution in countries of the high
pect that it will be abandoned, and the
only reform which seems desirable is the
adoption of scientific methods in its per-
formance

PROHIBITION IN CALIFORNIA,

AS in other States, SO in California there
is q Prohibition party, which has made
nominees for state offices, and which says
it is going in to win. Not long since DR..
Cuyler one of the best known temperance
speakers in America, said, in effect, that it
is of no use to prohibit the manulact-
ure and sale of drink until you can get
the people educated not to buy drink.
Law cannot and will not be enforced in
advance of public sentiment. Not half
n dozen OF the men who are SO strongly
in favor of prohibitory law would per-
sonly assist in its enforcement; not half a
dozen.of them probably now personally do
what they can to enforce the present law.
AS long as this state of things exists a
prohibitory law would be mere shadow
without any substance. You cannot leg
islate the millennium in any more than
you can legislate money into existence.
In Ohio, the prohibitionists, by their I'M
Willingness to support measures looking
to the regulation and ontrol of the liquor
traffic, have handed over the State to the
saloon keepers and brewers, and free wills
key and 10 Sunday will now be the order
of the day there.
\ significant expression of opinion was
given at the monthly meeting of the Min
isterial Union in San Francisco last week.
This union contains ministers of many
evangelical denominations, but the Meth
odists predominant. A discussion arose as
to whether they should give their support
to the prohibition ticket. A large major
ity of them held that there was not the
remotest prospect Of the candidates be-
ing elected; and that, therefore, their sup
port of them would only draw OF from
the Republican candidates and secure the
triumph Of the Democracy, and with it
the practical abolition OF the restraint on
liqour selling and the repeal of the law
for observance of Sunday. The ministers
Of California showed practical good sense
in this decision, us do many ministers
east of California; but the other kind
the fanatical element-make the most
noise, as do the fanatical persons in the

idea that Prohibitionist, preachers and

ger of the doctrines that were preparing
the way for civil war, by this final and
impressive admonition from himself:
No State legislation, it is evident, is
competent to declare such severance Or
dissolution--the people of no State have
clothed their Legislature with any such
authority; any act therefore proclaiming
such severance ny a Legislature would be
merely null and void as altogether en-
ceeding its constitutional powers.
1t would be idle to attempt to estimate
what might have been the results of the
sending out OF such circular, backed
by the official authority of the President
and by the far"weightier personal author
ity of Mr.. Webster.
That it would have rescued thousands
ofmisled Southern men from the current
of secession sentiment in which they were
unconsciously floating, there can be nc
doubt. 1t might have resulted in render
ing the secession of Virginia impossible,
But it was not SO ordained. Slavery and
the politics that grew out of it were DIES.

Candidacy of Mr.. Archer.

Hon. Stephenson Archer, independent
candidate for chief judge in the Third jul
dicial circuit, was at Barnum's Hotel
on Tuesday night where he received the
congratulations of numerous friends
from Baltimore county, and the assur-
ance that he was Overwhelmingly the
choice of that county at the approaching
election. He is also in receipt of many
letters from prominent Democrats, prom
!sing not only their individual support
but active and useful work between now
and the It'll of November. lie does not
attempt to overestimate his strength in
Hartford. He is too shrewd n politician
to make mistake in this direction, but
ne says that he will leave that county
with such a majority that unless some
thing unforeseen happens it will be ex-
tremely difficult to overcome it in the
other county making up the district.
Some merriment was created by gen
tleman who accosted him with the title
of Judge" under the impression that he
had already been elected. \ by-stander
remarked that he was only little pre-
mature as he would have many oppor-
tunities to salute him with that title
after November.

WEBSTER'S UNPUBLISHED CIRCU-
LAR.

The most important of the memorial
exercises at Marshfield last week, was
the reading Of an unpublished manu-
script of the great man the centennial of
whose birthday was SO fifty celebrated,
which was written by Webster in Octo-
Der, 1850, and intended as a circular to
be sent to all the officials of the Federal
overnmert-hundreds of them, even
then, plotting the overthrow OF the gov
eminent they had sworn to serve and de-
fend. But Mr.. Webster's unanswerable
concise and powerful demonstration of
the Constitutional impossibility of legal
secession" was too strong document
for President Fillmore and most of his
Cabinet to send out, as an authoritative
exposition of the powers of the Federal
government for the protection of its own
existence and maintenance of its own
authority.
This document, now given to The pub
lie is grand memorial of its author. In
language that could not be surpassed for
clearness, precision and power; with ar
guments, each sentence of which is Il
condensation of the results of lifetime
of honest study of the Constitution, and
with positiveuess of assertion backed
by the largest individuality then incar-
nate in this country, at least, Webster put
into this intended circular creed of con-
stitutional powers and obligations that
will be among the most enduring memoir
iais of his greatness.
States" said he, "purports to be per-
petual form of government; it contains
no limits for it's duration, and suggests
no means and no form of proceeding by
which it can be dissolved or it's obliga-
tions dispensed with; it requires the per-
, sonal allegiance of every citizen of the
United States, and demands solemn
oath for it's support from every man en-
ployed in any public trust, whether I'M
der the government of the United States
or any State government"

the people to hold Office in its various de-

THE REPUBLICAN JUDICIAL CONVENTION

CENTREvILLE, MD, Oct. 17.-Thc Re-
publican convention of the second Judi
cial district organized in the hall of the
court house at 1.45 this afternoon. w.
w. Davis Of Cecil, was made chairman
and y. l.. Tharp of Talbot, secretary
All of the counties composing the dis
trct were fully represented.
Preliminaries over, Mr.. Warburton of
Cecil moved that the convention pro-
ceed to make nominations for chief judge
and suggested that the counties be call
ed and if any county had candidate to
present it would do SO when called. The
counties were called, but no nominations
were made.
This is considered an endorsement of
Judge Robinson, the Democratic nomi-
nee of the Chestertown convention.
George NJ. Russum of Caroline and
George y. Blake of Cecil were nominal.
ed for associate judges by reclamation.
Mr.. Blake was present and accepted the
nomination in neat speech.

Professor Newelrs Watch.

Professor NJ. A. Newell, of the State
Normal School,, had a valuable gold
watch valued at $500 stolen from him on
the evening OF September Goth by a
thief while boarding a train at Camden
station, Baltimore. No clue to the thief
was discovered at that time but the loss
was reported at police headquarters and
the case put into the hands of Detective
Drost to work up. That officer went to
work, and on Tuesday arrested John
Terrell, well-known sneak-thief, for
the crime. He acknowledged having had
the watch in his possession but refused
to tell either how he came by it or what
he did with it. The watch has not yet
been recovered.
