Legal Difficulty in Extending
Charters, B

WASHINGTON, January 26. - The
sub committee of the House Commit
tfeon Banking and Currency, in charge
of the bill to extend nation | bank
charters, called upon Attorn Y Gen.
eral Brewster to-day for the pt pose of
obtaining his views as TO certain legal
questions which have arisen in con-
nection with the bill. The Attorney
General informed the members of the
subcommittee that upon referring to
the records of his office he found that
it had not been the custom of his pre-
decessors TO render opinions upon
questions arisingin Congress, and that
therefore he did net feel at liberty to
give his opinion upon the question
referred to in the pending bill. The
question which has arisen Is whether
a guardian or executor engaged in the
banking business can lawfully consent
to an extension of the charter of a
bank with which he is connected.

the Jury. Editorial Opinions.
WAsHINGroN.-A sense of profound
relief is the predominant feeling to-
day with all who have been connected
with the long-drawn- out Guiteau trial,
with the exception, doubtless, of the
prisoner, his sister and his counsel.
The severely-serious faces of the
jury, which through ten long weeks
have been SO closely scrntinized and
so often commented upon, have to-day
assumed the joyous expression of the
schoolboy who has laid aside his books
to contemplate the pleasures of long
vacation. The department of the jury
through this tedious trial is the sub
ject of universal commentator, to-
day. Many of them have been sub
jected to positive inconvenience and
losses in business, ore in particular, a
commission merchant, having lost
$4,000 in one ease through his inability
10 consult or advise with his employees
in a certain matter the details of which
were known to himself alone. The
cost to the Government for board and
maintenance of the jury has been
$4,000, and for their pay ($e per day
for seventy-three days. $l752, an ag-
gregate of $685. for the item of jury
ex penses alone.
1t appears that very little doubt as
to the guilt of the prisoner, "a indicted,
found a Judgment in the minds of the
jury from an early stage of the trial,
and the final rendering of their ver-
diet was but a matter of form. As
one OF them expressed t'hi morning:
1.-THE prisoners own words and decla-
rations were sufficient to convict him,
even if they had not been supple
mented by the evidence OF his friends.
The idea of insane delusion was dissi-
pated by his announcement at the
time of the murder of the reasons
which impelled him, That Is to say /:
That he formed the deliberate opinion,
from reading the newspapers and from
studying the political situation, that
the death of President Garfield was
necessary to save the country. This
in itself was sufficient to show an act
of his own planning, and not dictated
by inspiration or pressure of the Deity.
His subsequent and persistent j~ustifi-
eaton of the act, because the same re-
suits had flowed from it that he had
anticipated before the act, confirmed
the theory or fact. Had it been in
reality the result of Divine pressure,
why his anxiety to justify his act as
the mere agent of the Deity :"

chance exists for a new trial, and al
though Mr. Scoviile asserts that he
shall exhaust every legal remedy be-
fore giving mp the case, his appearance
and CONVEX alton this morning plainly
indicated that he en%tertains but very
little hope Of avert,ng the impending
doom of the assassin.
The only really sanguine person is
probably the prisoner himself. On
the way to the Jail last evening, al
though the van was saluted with q
continuous storm of jeers-the news of
the verdict having preceded 1.-THE
prisoner never once betrayed any seri-
Gus emotion. He chatted with the dri-
yer and guards said he was satisfied
with the charge of the Judge; that it
was very fair on the legal points, but
that the jury had gone back on him
and bTc"yht in a verdict contrary to
the evidence. On entsT;n. the Jail he
threw off his coat and laughingly
called out : Well, boys, they brought
in a verdict against me; but I'll get a
new trial and upset all this business
and don't you forget it," He ate his
supper as usual, and as far as could be
learned slept soundly last night. This
morning he called for the papers and,
though somewhat thoughtful and dis.
inclined to talk much, maintained
that it would all come out right that
Arthur was his friend, and the Amer
lean people would not let him suffer.

neighborhood Two of them left early in
 the game and joined the old gang, who left
 that night after the robbery. Land says that
 all those now under arrest were all the green
 horns concerned in the affair, merely stool
 pigeons The members of the old gang entered
 the express car and went through the train
 The country boys kept up noise outside and
 did nothing more. After the robbery the
 party went into the woods near by, where
 the leaders, who had all the booty, said
 "Boys, we have not time to divide. They
 are too hot after us and we did not get the
 money we expected to anyway, but we will
 all meet on the right fork of the Blue next
 Wednesday night, just one week from the
 night of the robbery, and we will divide then" Saying this the five mounted their horses and rode away with the booty in their possession, while Land and his companions went home no richer than when they started out. Before the night arrived which had
 been set for the divide most of them were safely jailed and the others were fleeing the country. Land declares his belief that the robbery was put up job, deliberately planned by James and his gang for the double purpose of securing plunder and getting the country boys into trouble in order to divert the attention of the authori ties from their own operations. He seemed to be in great dread of Jesse James and his pals and always referred to them as the old gang, and saying with nod and 8 wink ''You know who I mean" Land is beardless boy nineteen years of age, His family is eminently respectable, and he always bore good reputation until this affair. Land was remanded to jail until tomorrow, when the trial of Chapman and Bugler begins. Lands case came first, and the prosecuting attorney asked that 1t be put at the foot of the docket which shows that Land is to be used as a witness. The next cases called were those of Bugler and Chap man. They answered that they were ready for trial, and the jurors were sworn. Court adjourned until tomorrow morning, when Buglers trial will be proceeded with.

The Flood Sufferers-Iitt1e Additional Need of Government Aid.
 WASHINGTON, March 27.-The Secretary of War has received dispatch from L. W. Dan forth, agent at Charleston, Mo-, as follows | ''No more government supplies needed here. Farmers at work and more cheerful" He l has also received the following report from
 Captain J. M Lee, Ninth infantry, dated at
 Memphis, Tenn, March 26: "Arrived here this morning from Vicksbarg. The supplies sent by steamer Coal Bluff, on barges, ar
 rived here last night. Shall return with Coal
 Bluff to vicksburg, leavine here to-day. The supplies now furnished for Mississippi will 1 last until about the 5tL proximo. At the rate | the water is going down no necessity of sup plies beyond April 10. This will require ad- ! ditionaI supplies of 75,oOo pounds of meat and 15O, 900 pounds of meal, which should be ! sent to Hemingway at Memphis, so as to ar ! rive there not later than the 4th proxlmo. l The lowest estimate of number rendered des- titute by flood in the State of Mississippi IS l given at 50, GOO, and from personal obserVa- ! ton am satisfied this is approxlmately cor l rect.''
 1 The Secretary of War day telegraphed
 to General Mangum, commissioner for Ar ! kansas at Heleaa as follows: ''Ihe steamer
 Barnard gave you 10000 rations In n addl- dod l ton ordered, on the 21st instant, 5O,OOO, and on the 24th instant 100000, to be sent
 you. My understanding is that this supply
 will last your people during the first week in April, even if the number of destitute does
 not diminish. My information from Mlssls- sippi is that at rate water is going. down
 there is no necessity of supplying beyond
 April 10th in that State We have but little
 more than enough rations left at st. Lotus 10
 Arkansas at about the same rate, so that the number of destitute will now rapidly decrease.
 What final supply, in your opinion, will carry you through the trouble?"
 In similar despatch to the commissioner l for Louisiana at New Orleans, the Secretary asks if they can possibly get along with the
 rations already sent, and if not, what addl- dI1
 tional final supply will probably suffice: The
 Secretary adds that any further supply will require new appropriation.

He said the first intimation he had of the intended robbery was on the morning of September T. the day upon which the deed was committed. Breed Champan and John Bulger went to him when he was digging well and broached the subject of the robbery. He at first declined to join them They insisted that he should and held out the prospect of gaining money. He then went to Glendale, where he was intro dueed to man said to be Jesse James, who told him of the plan to rob the train that night. He then agreed to join in the attempt. The party collected near Blue Cut. There were twelve men. Of these five belonged to the old gang and the rest were boys from the

Vaccination for spIenfc Feve

[M. Pasteur ''The Germ Theory" in Popular
 Science Monthly for Apri1l
 The method I have just explained of ob- taining the vaccine of splenic fever was no sooner made known than it was very exten- siVely employed to prevent the splenic affec- tion. In France we lose every year to splenlc fever animals of the value of 10000, 900 francs. I was asked to give public demon stration of the results already mentioned. This experiment I may relate in few words. Fifty sheep were placed at my disposition, of which twenty-five were Vaccinated- 4 fortnight afterward the fifty sheep were in- oculated with the most virulent anthracoid microbe. The twenty-five vaccinated sheep resisted the infection the twenty five un- yaccinated died of splenic fever within fifty hours. Since that time my energies have been taxed to meet the demands of farmers for supplies of this vaccine. In the space of fifteen days we have Yaccinated, in the de- partments surrounding Paris, more than 10000 sheep, and large number of cattle and horses. If I were not pressed for time, I should bring to your rotice two other kinds of virus attenuated by similar means. These experiments will be communicated by-and-by to the public. cannot conclude, gentlemen, without expressing the great pleasure feel at the thought that It is as member of an international medical congress, assembled in England, that I make known the most recent results of vaccination than smallpox is for man. have given to Vacci- nation an extension which science, l hope, will accept as homage paid to the merit and to the immense services rendered by one of the greatest men of England, Jenner.

The Worth of State Coupon

The Worth of State Coupons.
 RICHMOND, March 27.-The war in the courts between the Virginia bondholders and readjusters commenced today. William l.. Royal, of New York, representing the Eng fish bondholders, commenced suit to- day in the Supreme Court of Appeals for the State, the object of which suit is to have legisla- tion now in force affecting the value of coupons declared unconstitutional and void. The act now in force is known as Corpse Killer No. ID It recites that there are many forged, counterfeit and stolen coupons now in existence, and therefore to protect the State and the bondholders it is enacted that taxpayer must satisfy the jury that his coupon is genuine before the tax collector can receive it. It is possible that there may be few coupons in existence which have once been redeemed, but the amount, if any, is trifing. MT. Royall says he will carry the case to the Supreme Court of the United States if the State court upholds the act
