The Case Of II. Studer.

For the past two days the district court has
been engaged in the trial for murder of B.
Studer, accused of numbering his son. 1t will
be remembered that about Christmas, 1880,
Mr.. Studer and his son disagreed on account
of the latter's determination to marry Miss
Weyel, and on the night of the crime words
had passed between the two. The son went
to the house of Mr.. Bitter, and was there when
his father came, asked for him and pressed
him into the gallery. Both men we're then
armed with pistols and two shots were heard
soon after. Subsequently the son was found in
jured, and he died in about fortnight after.
Threats we're proved against the father and
the prosecution urged that the prisoner killed
his son. On the other hand the defense plead
ed that the son fired the first shot at the father,
and that the father fired afterward in self de-
tense. The jury retired on Saturday and were
discharged this morning, being unable to
agree, but it is understood that eight were in
favor of acquittal and four for conviction.

THE GUITEAU TRIAL.

The Guiteau case has been closed
so far as the testimony is concerned
and the argument was commenced on
Saturday, so that we may anticipate
an end of the trial before the close of
the week.
Mr.. Davidge opened the argument
for the prosecution on the legal points.
Guiteau is said to have followed
Davidge closely through his entire
speech.
Col. Reed replied to Davidge.
The sensation of the day was the
reading Of Judge Davis, of New York,
charge to the jury in the Coleman MUIR
der case, upon which""Guiteau remark
ed: "Of course he knew it, and more
than that, the jury decided the case
against the charge of the court"
As Davidge resumed, Guiteau again
shouted:
81 want to get this thing right be-
fore the jury. Every one knows that
the Coleman jury gave verdict against
that charge, and this prosecution knew
it well. s.
The effect was electrical when Da-
vidge, in the most deliberate manner,
said: "Your honor, this man was for
three weeks held up to us as an inn
beetle, now listen to him /; he not only
knows the difference between right and
wrong, but he understands fully the
law of the case" -..
Guiteau, "transitory mania, that's
my case. don't pretend l am insane
now. l got as good a head as you or
Porter, either. Scoville is a fool, though.
l repudiate him and his whole theory
of defense; all want is two hours be.
fore that jury and l can set the thing
right" The scene was a. lively one
for few..minutes. Judge Cox raped
for order, and soon Guiteau subsidized
and Davidge continued without further
interruption to the end of his argu-
ment.

Ihereb thank my attorneys, Howard and
Harrison, for their services rendered in my case
by them in the district court on the 9th and 9TH
Of this month, and for the noble defence they
have made in my behalf?
Mr.. Howard never showed his face in court
until the case was about to be closed, and Mr..
Harrison, in whom placed confidence to de-
fend me, did not have sufficient room in the
court room to defend me proper?
But the firm Of Howard & Harrison had the
room in their pockets for my money paid
number of receipts signed by them:
Had it not been that Judge M. G. Anderson
appeared in court Ia little too late,) would
have been tried without a counsel: 1 had
about ten minutes to consult with him, and he,
Judge Anderson, took the case and made a
noble defence, considering the way he got the
case. 1t B. STUDER.

LAREDO, Texas, Jan. 6, 1882.

Editors EVENING LIGHT. ~.t. = Base 49,
In the Daily Express of the 27th ult., it was
stated that "a young man sometime ago in
charge of w. F. Walkers saloon, in San An
tonic, has just been discharged from employ
ment Of Tom. Gallagher for dishonest con-
duct; he has refuged to Mexico, ETC." As l
was in the employ of Mr.. Walker and Cal
lagher Bros, the writer of that article may
have intended to reflect on me, and as the Ex-
press has refused to make the amende honor
able, allow me to say through the columns OF
your paper that as far as the above quoted ar
ticle was intended to reflect on me that the
same is . base falsehood, and for the truth Of
which assertion refer to Mr.. Walker and
also to Messrs. Gallagher Bros. As the cow
ardly author of said article has failed to afix
his signature, I know not to whom to look and
therefore ask that you would kindly insert this
in your paper. As for the refuge in Mexico,
I would say that reside in Laredo, Texas,
where shall at all times be happy to meet
any one who may wish 70 interview my on this
subject. G.. B. LoRANGER.

"WHAT's THE MATTER? ?"

Asks the Galveston Daily Journal, in
reference to the Palmer-Sullivan sys-
tenn of railroads, "Is it a delusive bub-
bic 2" and then comments upon the
fact that the Gould enterprise is BOOM
ing, and the Palmer-Sullivan people
are in the dumps. 1t may be lnstruc-
tive to our citizens who recently sub
scribed to a donation of $4,000 to
read this from the Journal:
If contributors to the Palmer Sulli-
van enterprise in Mexico can be in.
duced by the fear of active opposition
to withhold their payments for con-
struction, the Denver and Rio Grande
will fail, and Mr.. Gould may, in that
case, be willing to take up the. Palmer
Sullivan grant and make it part of his
system, instead of attempting to build
the Mexican, Oriental, etc., road. -
Combining this information with the
fact that the Palmer-Sullivan people
have struck tents at Galveston, and
taken up an indefinite line of march,
things begin to look very dubious as to
Galveston's chances to get a narrow
gauge system into Mexico by means of
the P. and S. plan. There is one con-
ISOLATION: If Galveston don't get the
narrow gauge from from Palmer-Suli-
van, they will get only very narrow
gouge from Galveston. This is poor
joke, but it is about time, perhaps, the
whole proceeding be ranked as a poor
Joke. 49,.

The Laredo Post0fiice.

Weleara that there is serious complaint Of
the manner in which the postoffice at Laredo
is run. A merchant in this city, having
shipped bill Of goods to merchant in Lare-
do, and not receiving return, wrote, enclos-
ing bill and asking remittance. The Laredo
merchant answered that he had sent P. O..
money order, Immediately on receipt of goods.
The San Antonio merchant applied at our
postofice and found the advice awaiting him,
but as he had no order he had to write again
to Laredo. The postmaster here says such
complaints are frequent about the Laredo
sfice. What becomes Of the letters contain

The San Antonio Trades Union.

Another sttempt is made to form trades
union, and there is good promise Of success.
Already over one hundred men of all classes
have given their adhesion to the project, and
the number is receiving daily additions.
The plan is still in its crude form, but the
proposal is that members shall consist of two
classes, active members, those working for
salary and honorary members, who shall be
employers of labor or friends to the cause,
who are not either the one or the other.
Members having an agrievance against their
employers will report the same to the union,
and if on investigation the complaint is found
to be just one, the employers will be COM
municated with, and unless he can justify his
action to the satisfaction of the committee, he
will be required to discontinue the action COM
planned of, and to make such reparation as they
may demand, and failing in this the influence
Of the union will be used against him. In a
like manner employers may make complaints
against members, which will receive due con-
sideration and the member complained of will
be suitably dealt with if the such complaint is
established.
The union propose to work on cooperate
rather than an arrogant principle, dealing JUS
tee to the employer and the employed, and
properly managed may be productive Of much
good.

There being Il large amount of surplus
money in the Treasury, the Pulaski
Citizen suggests that it be used toward
the eXtinguisLment of the State debt,
and proposes the following plan
"Ihe Governor calls the extra session
for the purpose, among others, of pro-
viding for the safe keeping of the money
in the treasury collected 10 pay the in
terest under the 1908 act. Tennessee
bonds are quoted at fifty cents in the
market. Now let the Legislature pass
an act authorizing the comptroller to
buy Tennessee bonds as long as he can
get them at fifty cents and burn them
That wipes up from the face of the earth
that much Of the debt, interest and all.
DO the same thing next year, and next
year, and in ten years we will have the
whole thing settled at fifty cents, with
out interest, 1t will cost less to pay
the whole debt in ten years in this way
than it will to pay the interest on it In
ten years. The interest on S2s, OOO,-
