Utter Failure of Guiteau's Last Hope.

A Washington dispatch says: Chief Justice
Cartxer and Judges Macarthur, Hsgner, and
James held q consultation Saturday, summing
up the arguments OF counsel in the application
of Gu teau for rehearlng. The consultation
lasted four hours, and was marked By most
searching examination of authorities and most
arguments The judges were in thorough har-
mony oil through, and in resching decision
not for one minute differing in the general
steps by whi,h decision was reached, al
though, OF course, each Judge had his individu-
oil opinion on various points OF law and thoir
application. The decision will be announced
May %, and the decision will affirm the SEN
tence OF the court below, OF course 9verruIing
the exceptions. This disposes OF Guiteau's
last chance, and he will be hanged June 80,
1882.

Gniteau's Prospects for a New Trial.

Ii Washington correspondents are to be be-
lieved, there is danger that Guiteau may be
granted anew Trial. Oae says: Tho leading
lawyers OF the Washington bar, many Of whom
have listened to oil the Arguments i'll the case, are
practically unanimous IN expressing the opin-
ion that the supreme court Of the District of
Columbia will set aside tae verdict of tls ciim-
inai court in the case of the assassin of Presi-
dent Garfield and granthim new trial They
base their opinion on the fact that counsel for
the ASSASSIN preseatsd to the supreme court two
legal propositious one OF which ct least must
be held good naturally:
First-That the court below had no jursiic-
ton, the murdered man having died in New
Jersey.
Second-That the court below fatally erred
in admitting tho testimony Of Mrs. Dun
miere, the Issassin's former wife--as to facts
ascertaiued by her during the existence OF the
marital relation.
The latter Is believed to be the strongest
point The effect which II produced on the
court was perceptible to the lawyers present
when 1t was presnted.

During the last thirty years the United
States government has given away to rail-
road corporations not less than ISL ,653, ,401
acres, 81, 55l, POI acres more than compris-
es the great state of Texas, On area equal
to eight times the area OF In diana or sew
en- times the area of Kentucky. The great
state of Illinois covers an area of 36, 1885,
900, and Ohio 26, ,278, 400. Their areas are,
however, as a small corner lot compared to
some of the territory given away. To one
railroad, the Atlantic and Pacific, was given
between 1866 and 1861, ~ O00, 900 acres,
the Northern Pacific, Al, 600, 900 acres. But
it is now pretty evident that no more land
will be given to railroads, and it is not inn
possible that large slices may be taken away
from railroads which have not fulfilled the
conditions of their respective grants Hun
dreds of thousands Of American citizens,
and almost as many emigrants, are now
wanting land for homes, nut the govern
ment lands OF good quality are getting
scarce. They have ali been absorbed by
railroad corporations and are held at spec

Housekeepers all over the country, not
excepting the farming regions of the north
west, are complaining as never before of
the prices of meat, poultry, and everything
else that goes on the table. There seems
to be no reason why farmers cannot make
farming pay while present prices continue.
1t will be good thing if they could only
realize that other product besides wheat
can be raised with profit.

The report OF the adjutant general of the
United States army shows that the deser-
tions are in the enormous proportion of
nearly fifty per cent. This is attributed to
the present system ofrequiring very large
amount OF manual labor to be performed by
soldiers in building, improving and orna-
menting new posts, Young men with mil
itary tastes are dispusted when they find
that they are little better than day laborers.
Another cause which deters many ambi-
;ious young men from entering the ranks
and disgusts others who have enlisted is
the great gulf of social distinction which is
fixed between officers and men. This line
of demarkation is probably more rigidlv
drawn in our small republican army than in
any Of the aristocrat armies of Europe.

Miss Alice Cary has been dead twelve
years and yet the observance of her birth
day was recently celebrated in New York
which moves the Times to say there is
nothing more perishable in its nature than
poetical fame; and this country is not be-

signs yersiiers who, in their day and gen.
Grafton, were popular favorites. OF really
remarkable poets, tolerably sure Of

The newspapers and magazines abound in
poetical contributions that are never read,
save by personal friends of the authors;
while the same ideas, if happily there are
ideas, if embodied in attractive prose,
would be received with favor, and possibly
remembered for brief period.

Sir Richard Temple, who has been
making a tour of America. and who is
fastening home in consequence Of the
political situation in England, which, be
thinks, may involve change Of Minis
try, says that he believes that a majority
of Englishmen, while themselves being
free traders, prefer that America should
have aprotective tariff. Of course. Pro
lection in the United States means moth
ing more nor less than the protection of
Old England against competition with
this country in the markets Of the world.
For instance, take the subject of cotton
manufacturing. This is an industry
which legitimately belongs to the South;
yet our protective tariff shuts US out
from foreign markets, and enables New
England to compete with us at home and
Old ENGLAND to undersell us abroad
Naturally enough the English msnufsc-
turer wants our protective tariff contin-
ued. 1t is one Of the sources Of his great
est wealth. Without it, large portion of
the money he now makes would speedily
be earned in this section-the home of
the cotton plant.

Yesterday there was enacted at East
man, Dodge county, a scene which we
believe has never been enacted before in
Georgia, and LET US devoutly hope may
never have to be witnessed again. Five
murderers-four men and one woman
were hung all at the same time to satisfy
the just and stern demands of the law.
The crime for which these culprits sui
fered is fully detailed in all its horrible
ghastlIness in our telegraphic columns.
1t was indeed a bloody, cruel murder
which these wretches, as ringleaders of
a drunken and excited mob, caused to
be committed upon the person of an in
nocent man against whom they, while
infamed with drink, had raised cause
less hue and cry. The outrageous crime
would have amply justified the
citizens of Eastman in taking the
law in their own hands-if lynch
law is ever justifable-and making
short work of the rioters and murderers
on the spot. But, to the credit of those
citizens be it spoken, they determined to
let justice take its course. The offend
ers against the law were promptly ar
rested, fairly tried and duly sentenced in
proportion to the enormitY of their
respective crimes. Fifteen were sent to
the penitentiarY-most of them for life
while six were found worthy of death.
Notwithstanding, too, that the con-
demned received fair trials, and the right
eousness of their various sentences was
not disputed, it was resolved by the Exec
utive of this State that nothing should be
left undone to mete out to them simple
justice. To this end, although their
counsel made no plea in their behalf
after conviction, the Governor made it
special point to examine thoroughly into
the evidence against them to see whether
OF not any extenuating circumstances
existed which would justify execu-
tive clemency. After diligent inves
tigation, however, the sentences of
all save one were found to be richly de-
served, and in the case of this one, Isaac
Shipman, a reprieve was granted for
thirty days. If, in the meantime, it be
sscertained that there were any palliative
conditions connected with his crime,
his sentence Will in all probability be
commuted to imprisonment
1t will be seen, therefore, that the five
criminals who yesterday suffered the
extreme penalty of the law in Eastman
were, notwithstanding the Nervousness
and horrible cold bloodiness of their deed,
granted every possible chance. They
had forfeited their lives to the majesty
of the law, and both justice and the well
being of society demanded their execu-
ton. Their fate should be lasting warn
ing to the evil-minded and evil-disposed
hereafter. 1t should teach all such
that just so sure as they yield to passion
and malice and commit crime, will their
mlsdeeds be followed by punishment
swift and stern, and throughout the
length and breadth of Georgia crime is
Odious and law is supreme.
