Bodie Going to Boom

There is little room left for doubt,
says the Aurora Herald, that Bodie
is gong to have a genuine boom on
merit this summer. Four rich
strikes have been made i'm the mines
there recently. These strikes may
be stated To have occurred as follows:
First, in the 500-foot level OF the Stan
dard; seconl |, below the sixth incline,
or 600-foot level Of the Bodle; third,
in the joint winze 200 feet below the
512-font level OF the MONDAY and

the 800 foot level of the Concordia,
from the Red Cloud combination

ENGLAND'S ARMY.

The advice "In times of peace pre-
pare for war" is generally needed by
the monarchial governments of Europe
from sheer force of necessity. The army
tax is an enormous one, and occasional
growls of dissatisfaction are vented by
foreign subjects of republican proclivi-
ties. These growls are nothing but
growls, however, and will be heard at
intervals until civilization and progress
reyolutionize the governmental system
of the old world. 70 Americans statis-
tics of the condition of the British army
are interesting as showing the cost of
national "supremacy." The London
Times publishes some valuable figures
relative to the condition of the British
army in 1880, from which it appears that
through the whole year recruiting was
so successful that the army was above its
fixed strength and contained 1873, $50
men, of whom 1917 were officers, II, All
non-commissioned officers, 3,472 trump
eters and drummers, and 165, 266 rank
and file. All recruits are now above 10,
and the total force is independent of
$4,000 reserve soldiers, and as many re-
serve militia, all, of course, thoroughly
trained men. The eight battalions
standing first for service have all been
brought above 1000 strong, while the
nine battalions in the Mediterranean
have been brought up to 800. The gov
eminent has, therefore, force of 49, 900
men, or say, $4,000 effcients, always
ready to meet one of the "little wars /"
so necessarily on it's hands.

The Doomed Assassin

Guiteau is visited III his cell daily by a large
number of morbidly curious people, all eager 10
see and talk to the man who is. soon to eXpiate
his great crime. The presence of so many
strangers, among whom the tair sex predoni-
nate, only tends to increase the inordinate
egotism of the convicted wretch and he treats
his visitors to daily outpourings of venom,
striking promiscuously at Judge Cox, Judge
Porter, the jury and all engaged in the work of
his conviction. On the 9th ult. he managed to
slip an address to the public into the hands of a
stranger. District Attorney Corkhill confiscated
the document, and it was then decided to with
hold writing materials from the prisoner. AS
long as the newspapers publish his silly utter
ances just SO long will the knave's vanity be
tickled into issuing nonsenscal addresses. The
prisoner is allowed to communicate with no one
but Scoville.
Mr.. Scoville appeared in the criminal court at
Washington on the 18th ult., and filed papers on
which he bases his motion for new trial. E.
II. Snyder and J. w. Guiteau made affidavits
that newspaper was fond in the room oc-
cupied by the jurors, on which five of them had
written their names. Mr. Scovile makes the
points that the verdict ''Guilty as indicted" is
uncertain, there being several counts in the
Indictment, each and all Of which were ignored:
that the trial was unlawfully extended into the
December term of court, and that the court had
no Jurisdiction in the case, Garfield having
died in New Jersey. Mr.. Corkhill remarked to
a party of gentlemen that Guiteau will be ex-
ecuted not later than June TO-

THE TRICKS OF TRADE.

In this country, where tradespeople
are wont to resort to all manners of de-
vices and subterfuges to advertise and
dispose of their wares, such startling
legends as "selling off below cost"
bankrupt stock of clothing,' "goods
at half price," etc., have no significance
to the public. Neither do the authori-
ties pay any attention to or attempt to
control such advertising. But it seems
the worthy burghers of Germany hold
different views in this regard, as a recent
action of the Berlin authorities indi-
Gates. While five large retail stores
we're in the midst of their preparations
for the holiday trade, the proprietors
were summoned before a court charged
with employing falsehood in their public
announcements by means of alluring pla-
cards, such as are used the world over,
suggestive of cheap bargains. Several
of these placards, bearing such notices
as "seIling off the entire stock" "goods
slightly damaged by fire" etc., were pro-
duced IN court, with evidence to show
that the several assertions were pure
fiction. The court agreed with the pub
lie prosecutor that it was a clear case of
deliberate "fraud." The event caused
no little excitement among the shop
keepers of the German capital, and
aroused much sympathy. One of the
offenders, the proprietor of the great es-
Enlistment in the Spandauer Strasse,
was seized outside his own place just as
he was hurrying off to the bank in order
to get the change for large sum of
money which he intended to divide
among his assistants as a Christmas

FJty-dtird Doy.-Judge Porter continued
his mastery argument, drawing largely from
his stock of invective eloquence. The prisoner
writhed under the scorching arraignment and
herceiy denounced Porter.
Ftfty.tO2srN Ddy.-Judge Porter concluded
his argument. His arraigDment was too much
for the assassin and bis counsel who raised such
Babel that for time nothing could be heard
The balllffs were called into requlsition. at the
conclusion of POrtel's argument Judge Cox
charged the jury and they retired to their room
In very short time the jury signifed that they
had agreed upon a verdict. The court was
called to order, and as the Jury returned to their
box, a deep silence prevailed. The usual for
malities we're gone through with, and as the
foreman prepared to read the verdict he became
the cynosure of all eyes. The silence became
oppressive but was broken by the most Demon
strative evidences of joy as the verdi.k was
read, and indicated that the jury had foand
Charles j. Guiteau guilty of murder in the first
degree. Men and women seemed to suddenly
become insane, and the former threw I'D their
hats as evidence of their enthusiasm. AS soon
as Guiteau could be heard he shouted, "My
blood is on the hands of this juryr' Judge
Cox thanked the jurymen and dismissed them.
Scoville immediately gave notice that he would
file motion for q sta y of execution and for a
new trial on exceptions.

UNANIMOUS VERDICTS.

The trial of Guiteau for the murder of
President Garfield has been watched
with deep interest by every reading citi-
zen of the country, and desire to have
strict justice meted to the assassin,
coupled with a fear that the jury
would disagree, has prompted a
study of the jury system IN vogue
at present which enables one dis
senter to Illustrate the will of eleven of
his fellows. The New York Herald de-
clares this a glazing and mischievous de-
feet, and says: The jury is the only
known body where the unanimous voice
of all is essential to decision; and here
there is no earthly reason to support the
principle of unanimity, and no explana-
ton of its existence, except that it has
come down to us from time whereof the
memory of man runneth not to the con-
trary. In judicial, Legislative and popu-
lar assemblies, and, in short, in every
voting body except the jury, majority
OF some other vote short of unanimity is
StdhSAChO hlllA COAO1uS1NS. IA
majority makes and Judicial
majority interprets laws on which de-
ponds the life of the citizen, but similar
questions cannot be determined by a
jury except by unanimous verdict.
The principle of unanimity is not a
needed safeguard to the citizen and it's
natural tendency is to defeat justice. It
is not found on the continent of Europe,
a departure from it has been made in
Scotland, and its abolition in English
and American criminal jurisprudence has
been strongly advocated. That the re-
form should be introduced into this
country hardly admits of question.
Lieber proposed that an agreement of
three-fourths of the jurors should be
sufficient for verdict in capital and two
thirds in all other criminal cases. If
some such change as this were made no
right or privilege to which he is entitled
would be taken from the accused, while
the advantages gained by the people, es-
pecially in the case of long criminal
trials, would be of unreasonable value.
