mrs. Scoville, the contents of which
were very improper, and had seen her

right to kiss and had heard of many 9th

and who has been for twenty-six years in
the hospitals for the insane in New Hamp-

Luther w. Guiteau brought to him an in

talk, which was very peculiar,
he set him down as crazy.
The impression was very strong upon

John declared that nobody should testify
that his father was insane. Mrs Scoyille

ance with Editor Hutchins.
Special Dispatch 10 the Sunday Register.
WASHINGTON October 2l.-Few persons
enjoy the confidence of Mr.. Blaine more
fully, or pretend TO speak with greater con-
fdence of his purposes, than Mr.. Hutchins,
the editor of the Washington Post. Though
Democratic journal, it has on several oc-
casions spoken with avowed authority as
the Blaine organ at the national capitol.
OF late the Post has been specially indus
trious and explicit in explaining what will
be Mr.. Blane's course with reference TO the
next Presidential contest, and defending
him from the criticisms of his enemies.
Apparently the time has not come for de-
claring fully in the Post what the editor
openly prOciaims elsewhere. 1t is that with
Mr.. Blaine will be repeated
The Greeley Performance
of 1872, only with immense advantages re-
sulting from a variety OF reasons, oRe OF
which is that some Democrats are already
working With an understanding OF the pro-
gramme and the CO. operation of Mr.. Blaine.
While most men will say that there is
little likelihood that the Democratic party
will be moulded or led by MI. Blaine, there
doubtless exists the intention on his part
to attempt it through Democrats like
Hutchins whom he has succeeded in attach
ing to himself, but who, as well as Blaine.
do not apparently see that in the defeat OF
the Republican party, toward which Blaine
is contributing to his utmost except in
Maine, he is spelling his own game. A
victorious Democracy will have little occa-
sion for considering
The Plans OF Mr.. Blaine,
even if, under any circumstances, it could
be induced to do so.
To this the reply is that the combination
is already formed, and the understanding,
so far as certain leading Democrats are
concerned, has been entered into.
The seheming OF Blaine and certain
Democrats in the First District in New
York is referred TO as indicative OF what
will be seen on a large scale when the time
comes. Blaine Democrats, the word Is.
will show themselves at the right time and
in the right place.
A prominent plank in the Blaine-Demo-
cratic platform is the scheme for paying
the debts Of certain States out Of the public
Treasury. That this idea has been put
forth in earnest will appear in due time.
The defeat of the Republicans in the
present elections will, it is held, not only
prepare the way for the new scheme so
far as Blaine's own party is concerned, but
will demonstrate the extent OF his follow
ing. ,
Mr.. Hutchins lately returned from Mr..
Blaines neighDorhood. His visit to the
Plumed Knight, of whom be has been for
some time an acknowledged follower and
exponent appears to have inspired him
with fresh zeal and undoubting confidence.

PRESIDENT JONES ABDIcATEs.
The Head OF the Coal Miners Associa-
tIOn Throws Up the Sponge-The Com
ing Convention.

The Head or the Coal Miners Assoeia-
tIon Throws Up the Sponge-The Com
ing Convention.
PIrTsBURGH, October 2l.-President d. Z.
Jones, the head and soul of the Miners As
sociation of the Pittsburgh district, has
issued an address to the miners in which
he formally abdicates, let's go his hold,
throws away his power and stands out as
plain Mr.. Jones, the lawyer. In the ad-
dress President Jones suggests that officers
be elected at the convention to be held on
November q, and then gives brief history
of his leadership of the miners and its
results. He states that strikes are not so
frequent as formerly and that on the river
the best possible state of feeling exists.
The railroad trade, he admits, is distuI bed,
but he hopes for better things in the fu-
ture. Of the recent strike on the Pan
handle he says: ION the railroads owing
to the inroads made on our trade territory
by the surrounding developing coal re-
giOns, the industry has not enjoyed such
repose, When the price of mining is re-
duced in any OF the competing regions,
unless q prOportionate reduction immedi-
ately takes place here we lose our trade.
On this point the laws Of trade are inexor.
able and unmerciful, and our failing to per-
ceive this truth cost US an enormous sum
OF wages and much suffering during the
late lockout"
The address urges the miners to unite
with those of the adjoining districts and
at the same time warns them against hasty
or unnecessary strikes Secretary Finney
and Treasurer Armstrong are both highly
praised and recommended for reelection
should they be candidates. President
Jones reason for retiring is that he intends
to take up the practice of law and desires
to devote all his time to it. He has boast
ed that he would not abandon the cause of
the miners until the price on the Panhan'
die was four cents. That he now an
nounces his intention of stepping down
and out is considered in some circles as an
evidence that he believes the demand of
the miners to be made on November 81
will be granted.
