DEC. 30.-Aftcr about month of very
beautiful weather, uncommon in this eli
mate, it has taken cold, and is somewhat
blizzardy, with little snow.... j. F.
Todd, our pol ce justice, lawyer, and chief
bugler, has sold out and gone with family
aud effects. He will be missed. He may
return. 1t was at his request and recon-
mendation that the writer became itemizer
for your TRIBUNE while he was editor.
He sold out 10 C. F. Poole, who talks of
opening a livery stable here. He will thus
supplant the writer, who was reported
years ago to have the only livery in the
county, with one horse, that has done sci
vice for dozen years. He is tough
Morgan, Blackbawk, Frenchman, and is
good yet for more service. A common
horse, in his place, would have been killed
many times, but he lives it through finely.
Our grand saloon has done SO we'll in the
drunk line that disguised sober people are
to vote on the license business once more,
hoping to vote it down. 1t is doubtful if
they can, so many are the drammers.
Though the only saloon in the county,
liquors are used by many in various towns.
1t is reported that at Christmas tree gath
ering, there was barrel of alcohol in
White Bear, and that white bears became
grizzly. Oh! when will people cease to be
fools, and learn wisdom? L.

On Wednesday last Guiteau was con-
signed to his proper place, the prisoners
dock, by order of Judge Cox, who in vim
dication of his leniency and the latitude al.
lowed the murderer, and which has
brought much ccnsure upon the judge,
gave his reasons for allowing the prison
er full scope for his actions, prefacing his
remarks by stating he was fully aware that
the conduct of the prisoner had been in
persistent violation of order and decorum,
and yet as the only methods which at the
beginning could have been Iesorted to to
suppress his disorderly conduct, were such
rs must infringe upon the prisoners con-
stitutional rights, this fact was con-
elusive argument against their adoption.
Further than this the impression shared by
court and counsel had been that the pris-
oDers conduct and language in court would
afford the best indication of his mental and
moral character. and contribute largely to
the enlightenment of the court and jury in
the question Of his responsibility. 1t was
therefore on the express desire of the dis
trict attorney that the court had allowed
such latitude of conduct, in order to fur
nisll the experts ample opportunity of dag
nosing the prisoners case. Judge Cox
further stated that as the experts had had
full time and abundant occasion to deliber.
ate Upon and make up their judgments;
and as a criminal who has counsel has
waived his right to appear as his own
counsel, it was incumbent upon him to
impose such restraint as the circumstances
of the case permitted. Many had won
dered why the assassin was not muzzled
or removed from the court, but the judge
stated that this could not be done, pris-
oner could not be gagged and had right
to hear the testimony Of witnesses. Gui.
teau nearly broke down and would have
wilted entirely but for his brother who
whispered 10 him "fcr God sake don't

In tie notice of contest fled with the
court against the removal of the county
seat of Traverse county from Browns
Valley TO Mauda.la, there are six separate
and distinct counts upon which the contest
is based viz: First, that all the votes as
cast were not returned; second, that in one
of the precincts, the town of Taylor. thirty
votes were returned, being eighteen ballots
in excess of the fetal number of legal voters
residing in said township; third, that in
the towns of Tarah, Parnell and Croke,
eleven blanks were cast, all Of which were
counted and returned in favor o. the re-
moval o: the county seat; fourth, conse-
quent upon facts previously set forth, the
frauduently counted ballots should be de-
Quoted from the returns; fifth. that polls
in towns of Taylor and Croke were not
kept open On the hours as required by law +;
sixth. that as there is not and never has
been any such place as Maudada within
the boundaries of Traverse county, the vote
for the removal to that pretended town OF
Maudada is void. This is rather formid-
able array of charges, anyone of which,
upon substantiation, would seemingly be
sufficient to reverse the result.

The resignation of Postmaster General
james has called forth many expressions
of regret from all parts of the country. 1t
was hoped that he would have continued
in charge of the department, a position
which lie was so eminently qualified to fill,
and one that, from recent Developments,
required the firm and experienced hand
of just such man. All hopes of reduc
ton of letter postage, and that the depart
ment would be made self sustaining, seems
TO be considered at an end, now that the
department has fallen into the hands of a
man in whose integrity or ability there is
little confidence.
