Lewis Gilbert Surprised /.

Last Saturday Lewis Gilbert, for.
merly one Of the proprietors of the
Pennsylvania House, and a member of
the City Council of this city, was treat
ed to a real genuine surprise at his
present reeidence in New Garden
Township, Chester county, last satur.
day.
A couple of Delawareans, Edward
Sowden and James Brown, went in the
morning to see Mr.. Gilbert under the
pretence of buying a horse and kept
him az home. Presently the sound OF
q band was heard in the distance and
rs the sound came nearer and neare I
Mr. Gilbert began to listen with in
creased interest.
After the band came in sight an end.
less procession of carriages and horses
followed and entered Gilbert's large
and spacious yard, completely filling it
up, and as the visiters dismounted
they swarmed into aud took full pos
session of Mr. Gilbert's house.
In a short time the tables we're
spread, dishes rsttled, and from sun
dry boxes, baskets and other recepta-
cles came roasts, yellow legs, cakes,
fuits, jellies, pastry, such as onl y coup-
try housewives know how to make and
were placed upon the table.
Mr.. Gilbert was decidedly surprised
at such sudden invasion OF his peace
full domicile, but as the odds were
about 200 to one against him he con.
cluded the best part of valor was to
keep his peace and submit to the inevi-
table. of course, good time was ex-
perienced.
Did ever company of farmers meet
who had not a good time As the
evening shades drew on the company
separated and as each filed out of the
gates, each wished Mr.. Gilbert fur
ther long lease of happiness and pleas
ure.

Eli Crozier, President of eve, the

The Irish Repression Bill.

LONDON, May 22-Mr. Gladstone
announced that tomorrow he would
move that the Reprsssi bill have pre-
cedence over all other business until its
consideration is concluded. He said II
he finds that it is necessary he will af-
terward ask precedence for the Arrears
of Rent bill.
Mr.. Parnell gave notice that he would
move tomorrow that Mr.. Glad stones
resolution in regard to the Repression
bill shall also apply to the Arrears I'LL;
Mr.. Gladstone then moved the second
reading of the Arrears bill. The House
was very crowded when he made his
motion.
Mr.. Gladstone said it was impossible
to compel people to borrow, therefore
the money supplied by the government
| must be a gift. He stated that there
are five hundred and eighty.fve thous.
and tenants in Ireland paying under
$50 rent (Griifth's valuatiOn), and OF
these two hundred thousand are exclu.
ded fir ON the benefits OF the land act by
being in arrears. This, he said, must
be remedied. He admitted that the
proposal was extraordinary, but so was
also the state of Ireland. :,
Mr.. Sclater- Booth Conservative
moved an amendment declaring that it
is inexpedient to charge the consolida.
ted fund with any payment for arrears,
except in the form Of loan. He de-
scribed the governments plan as com.
munistic and demoralizing. He said
it was an evil precedent, and most
Objectionable in the view of the Scotch
and English farmers, who suffered as
much as the Irish farmers.
Several motions to adj journ were made
and opposed by Mr.. Gladstone, when
they were voted down by 212 to l35,
and again by 800 to l4O. Upon a re.
newal of the motion to adjourn Mr. Glad
stone said that in view Of the opposi-
tion it was hopeless to proceed, and he
announced that be would take the bill
in the morning sitting on Tuesday in-
stead of the Repression bill. Adjourn
ment of the debate was then agreed to.
MISCELLANEOUS.

authorities have received information
affecting the lives of several we'll known
politicians in London. Police are

THIRD EDITION.
DECISION AGAINST GUITEAU.
The Opinion Uusnimous-The As
sasstn Still Calm and Con fident.

WASHINGTON, May %. The decision
of the Court in bapc, affirming the de-
cision of the Court below in the Guiteau
case, was delivered to day, and at
tracted little attention. The counsel
for the Govern ment and for Guiteau
were in attendance, and the usual
crowd Of curious spectators. Judge
James read the decision overruling all
the exceptions, but Judge Hagner also
read paper specially bearing on the
relation ot the Maryland statutes to the
case. Al the conclusion Of the reading
Chief Justice Cartier said "The
opinions which have been uttered are
the unanimous opinions of the Court
that a new trial is denied, and the
judgment below affirmed in the case. y
Alter the decision had been announ.
eed Mr.. Charles "A. Reed, Gulteau' 5
counsel, visited the Jail to see the pris'
oner. Guiteau received his visitor
with smiling salutatiou. Mr.. Iced
then said: 81 have just come from the
Court in banc, which has affirmed
your sentence of conviction.
"Ou what ground?" asksd Guiteau
calmly, and without the slightest ap-
pearance of nervousness.
SIT sustains the right of Jurisdiction
of the common law, and it does not
profess to find any statute which sup
piled the defects in the law" replied
Mr.. Reed.
"Well what do you think ofit?"
asked Guiteau cody.
Mr.. Reed then held a whispered con
versation with the prisoner, in the
course Of which explained to him what
steps he proposed to take next. Gui.
teau listened attentively and expressed
his satisfaction.
Mr.. Reed declined to disclose at pre-
sent what steps he proposes to take, for
the reason that he does not care to have
the matter discussed before it is under
taken, but says he will make his next
move some time during the present
weak. 1t is believed, however, that he
expects by some proceeding to secure a
hearing before the United States Su-
preme Court.
Mr.. Reed says that during his inter-
view Guiteau did not betray the slight
est fear or nervousness, but that he
seems to have the most perfect faith
that he is coming out all right in the
end.

HIDES AND RELTRY.

The hide business OF Memphis, which the
past season amounted to near S350,000, out
side of the "city kill" shows up an excess of
about fifteen per cent. over that of the previous
season, but not much as has been realized
in former seasons when the radius of the
Memphis hide trade was Of much greater ex-
tent than at present. Prices during the early
and greater part of the season of 18S1-S2
ruled quite low, with falling off in demand
compared with the previous season, but dur
ing the latter months slight advance has
shown itself, and the increase in demand
promises still better prices for the coming
season. The wool and fur trade, the former
amounting to about $50, 900 and the latter
between $4,000 and $50 900, has also been
depressed somewhat, but in bulk of business
about holds its own with former seasons.
The future of wool is not very bright-at
least there is no immediate prospect for an
advance in prices. We CLEAN from Eastern
market reports that present prices are above
its relative value all over the West, and that
it is being sold without profit, and the pros
poets for an early advance except on special
qualities are very small. Wool has fuctu-
ated but little in price ia Mem, his, the rates
for all grades ruling from lO@16c for 10 west
10 25d935c for best.

nearly abandoned since the erection of our
grsin-elevator, as we are enabled to handle
the article by rail and river in hulk,
and in future it will be handled almost
exclusively in that way. The grain-ele-
vator's capacity is about 100000 bushels.
The abandonment of the sack system
will aid in enabling us to compete with other
m arkets. The crops this season between
Memphis and St. Louis were never more
nSomising than at present, and there is
nothing 10 prevent an abundant harvest
Memphis handled more corn the past season
than during aRy previous season. From the
books of Captain George b DeGroat, city
inspector, we learn that during the season
there were handled 42s 367 bushels of corn,
1S3, 235 bushels of oats, 1863 sacks of bran
and 284S tons of hay. These estimates are
supposed to cover about four ifths Of the
amount OF each article baudIed in this mar
ket during the season of 1851 81, aud from
these figures we are led to The conclusion
that the grain trade OF Memphis has reache d
proportions that demand the est ablishment
OF grain exchange, and lis well-known ad-
vantages in conducting the traffic should
urge Its organization at the earliest possible
moment. Hardly an individual in this
business with whom we consulted but ex-
pressed willingness TO contribute his PR O.
portion Of the expense necessary.
