Guiteau-Bill Of Exceptions

Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat.
Washington. March I8.-District Attorney
Corkhill and Mr.. George Scoville, Guiteau's
brother-in. law and counsel, were busly en-
gagged all of to-day in preparing the bill Of ex-
ceptions to be submitted to Judge Cox for his
signature. They stated that it was probable
that their labors would be completed by next
Wednesday, and MIR. Scovile would then
formally withdraw from the case if the defense
were successful in obtaining other legal talent.
The outlook at present, however, was very
discouraging, for although number of gentle
men had been approached and requested to
argue the case before the court in banc they
had nearly all pleaded other engagements as
an excuse for refusal. Guiteau was still
sanguine that his letters to ''the best lawyers in
the country would result in securing one, if
not more, of them to look after his interests;
and II every one else deserted him, he ex-
pressed the belief that the people would de-
mand the setting aside of the verdict of the
jury and his release from confinement He
has lately been much pleasanter toward Mr..
Scovllle than. for several weeks past, and
seems to realize he is doing everything in his
power TO help him.

The blue of the sky and the blush tinge of
distant objects has been shown to owing to
fine bubbles of water in the air. The more
delicate the walls of these hollow spheres the
clearer and deeper is the blue; as they con-
dense, their hue shades off more to the gray
and white, as seen finally in the clouds. Hence
in warm and dry regions the blue of the sky is
more intense; in cool and moist ones less so,
and on considerable elevation the heavens
look almost black, and the stars are visible at
midday.

tin other words, this is what befell St.
John. 1t may be we'll to state in this connec-
ton that this attempt to render the spirit of a
very quaint song should not be COMPOUNDED
with "Roll, Jordan, Roll," the music Of
which has been preserved with wonderful sue
cess by the late Mrs. Lucy McKim Garrison,
nor with another song with the same refrain.
The rolling of the Jordan and the ringing Of
the charming bells are heard in a dozen negro
songs.

E-Tbe warning northeastern rail

I-The warning northeastern rail-
roads will probably soon patch up their
differences, to the disgust Of travellers,
but doubiless.to the pleasure of stock
holders. There is no benefit to the
public in the long run in these throat
cutting diversions of railroad presi-
dents, as losses incurred in them must
ultimately be made good out of the
traffic passing over the roads. 1t Would
seem as though interests so great as
those of the railroads, in which the good
of the whole people is 30 intimately
concerned, ought not to be at the mer-
cy of theycaprice or interests OF a few
stock-iobbing managers.

ESThe last issue of the Middlebury
Register gives notice that the connec.
ton of r. NJ. Bailey with it as owner
has ceased. Probably he is like the
boy kicked by mule-he may not he
as handsome as he was, bnt he doubt
less knows more. He has, though, had
the satisfaction of freeing his mind, aud
that freely.
Thus the amiablc Montpelier Argus.
We have received several kicks from
the Argus. but, unlike the effects of
those of the other mule upon the boy,
they have disturbed neither orr looks
nor our equanimity. Doubtless, how
ever, the Argus has in mind sundry
little passages In the Register referring
moro or less remotely to some Of its
friends engaged in the laudable occu-
patton of breaking the laws of the
state. Perhaps it also alludes TO little
campaign the past summer in which
tho Register took hand. If 1t imag-
iues that the Register suffered any
damage in business or circulation for
the part it took in those matters, 1t can
set its mind at rest. The effect upon
the circulation of the paper was to lose
il less than ten subscribers, and gain
for 1t over five times that number, a
good share of whom seem inclined to
stick to the paper. We take this op.
portunity to state this fact, because we
are aware that some parties have tried
to misrepresent 1t. We are satisfied
that honest independence and frankness
in the expression of editorial opinions
on moral questions is no injury to the
business of country newspaper, even
though many of its patrons may disa-
gree, as doubtless did many readers OF
the Register, who yet have remained
good friends of the paper. We would
rather fail through adherence to the
right than succeed by pandering to the
tastes on which the Argus bases Its
success.

wThe fact that the prohibitionists
in the Vest have with an unaccounta-
BILE perversity worked and voted in the
interest of the Democratic party In
nearly every election this year, has
disguised the Republicans completely,
and it is predicted that little more in
the way of prohibitory legislation is to
be looked for, even in those states
where the outlook for the cause was
most promising. Fidelity to a good
cause is commendable, but it must be
confessed that in too many cases the
prohibitory party has exposed itself to
the reproach of failing to temper their
faith with common sense, and have
probably cast away every chance OF
embodying their ideas in legislation in
several states for some time TO come,
through theirstrange conduct in oppos-
ing the party which favors their prin-
ciples, and giving their aid to their
own mortal enemies.
