The trouble in the Readjuster par
ty Of Virginia does not subside, but
seems to have reached point where
it cannot be healed. 1t originated
in scramble over the spoils. Rev.
Mr.. Massey, to whom Mr.. Riddle
berger is bitterly opposed, was can
didate for auditor of public accounts.
He is Baptist minister, a man of
ability, and is represented as pow-
er on the stump. He has
taken very active part in
building up the Readjuster party
and had strong support for the office
to which he aspired. He was DIES
feated in the first caucus, and a
number Of his friends bolted. An
attempt was made to elect the
nominee of the caucus. which failed,
and another caucus was held Tues
day night, the result of which APP
pears in our dispatches this morning.
Riddleberger states that he will re-
sign his seat and go home
before he will vote for
Massey. Upon that statement
Masseys friends withdrew from the
caucus, and Riddlebergers man was
nominated.
This is bad beginning for new
party Mr.. Kiddleberger evidently
intends to be boss of the whole con-
Germ. IL he can be this he will hold
his party together for awhile, but if
not, an early dissolution may be
looked for. Bossism is not popular
in this age.

ARID LAND.

The vast area of fertile country in the
northwest yet unsettled, and the newer
fields being opened in the British pos
sessions would seemingly present such
inducements to immigrants as to make
them over-fastidious in their selections,
and act detrimentally to those portions
of the already settled west where re-
clamation and improvement is neces-
sary. Tho individual interests of states
and territories, however, avert the ef-
fects of the roseate prospects in the
newer fields, by forcing schemes to
render fertile tho barren lands within
their borders. In Colorado, Represent
ative Belford has proposed new policy
in regard to arid land. There is in all
the Pacific States and territories much
land that is valueless for agriculture
until it can be subjected to system of
irrigation. The inaugurate this neces-
sary work would require an immense
outlay of money. This land has been
unoccupied except by herds of stock.
Belford's Desert Land Act affords any
one an opportunity to take it up in GAO
acre sections, at the usual government
price, but even this inducement has not
50 far been sufficient to bring any very
considerable quantity under cultivation,
owing to the. cost of reclamation. Mr..
Belford proposes that stock owners be
allowed to lease such land from the
government, in 500-acre tracts, for terms
of ten years, at a merely nominal rental.

Funeral Diversions,

A funny yarn is told of an Episcopal
clergyman, who had recently taken
charge Of parish in small town in
Massachusetts, was called upon to attend
funeral few days after he had as
sumed the performance of his duties.
As he entered the house of mourning
ho was met by member of the bereaved
family, who said: "You are an Episco-
palian, l believe" eyes" "We]l,
sir, Idon't know much about your prac-
tices, but I believe you like to pndress
and dress good deal. Perhaps you
would like to go up stairs and put on
your shroud." This reminds us of a
story told by venerable bishop in one
of the New England 6oceses. He was
called upon one afternoon by . Baptist
minister who asked him if he had anv
objection to taking charge of funeral.
The Baptist brother stated that he had
suddenly received bad news, had but q
very short time to catch the train. and
was obliged to call upon the nearest
Christian clergyman. The good bishop
assented at once, and started for the
house of mourning. Upon arriving
there the family cordially thanked him,
and then suggested that short address

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
revolutionize 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 18S,9S6
men, of whom 1877 were officers, II, 431
non-commissioned officers, 3,472 trump
eters and drummers, and 165, 1866 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 battalione
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
ernment has, therefore, force Of Is, ,0o(
men, or say, $4,000 eficients, always
ready to meet one of the "little wars

Gnfteauss Trial.

Ftfty-sec0nd Dny.-Ihe court room was
crowded to suffocation on the 2Sd inst, and
when the doors were closed about Thousand
people were left outside. At the opening Gui-

not to attempt to mislead the jury. Porter
then opened his argument, the current of
thought increasing as he warmed to his work,
and until adjournment there poured upon the
prisoner q resistless torrent of denunciati0n
and rebuke. Guiteau broke in number Of
times, but his vaporings failed to break the
spell of Porter's e1oquence.
F1tty-third Day.-Judge Porter continued
his lnasterly argument, drawing largely. from
his stock of invective eloquence. The prisoner
writhed under the scorching arraignment and
fercely denounced Porter.

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 conntry, and desire to have
strict justice meted to the assassin,
coupled with asfear that the jury
would disagree, has prompted a
study of the jury system IN vogue
at present which enables one dis
senter to frustrate the will of eleven of
his fellows. The New York Herald de-
clares this q glaring 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-
tion 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, a majority
or some other vote short of unanimity is
sufficient and conclusive. A legislative
majority makes and Judicial
majority interprets laws on which de-
pends the lie 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 its
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 it's abolition in English
and American criminal jurisprudence hat
been strongly advocated. That the re.
form should be introduced into this
county hardly admits of question.
Lieber proposed that an agreement o
three-fourths of the jurors should be
sufficient for verdict in capital and two
thirds in all other criminal cases. ],

AMERICAN COMPETITION.

Much has been written of late con-
cerning the effect of American COMPETE
ton Oh English agriculture, and the de-
cline of farming in Great Britain has
been pictured in all it's phases. But in
the calculations concerning the effect OF
Americas wonderful fertility on the
progress of agriculture abroad, little
thought has been given France, probably
because Of her proverbial thrift, which
naturally places her out Of harms way
in superficial reflections. However,
sunny France feels the strain, and her
agricultural difficulties are pictured in q
cerulean hue by Lady Verney, in the
Contemporary Review. She says: The
wheat, cheese, and pork undersold by
American produce, the, "deplacements
d'indust1ie ct de commerce, . occasioned
by arrivals from the New World, un.

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 recent
action of the Berlin authorities indi-
Gates. While five large retail stores
were in the midst of their preparations
for the holiday trade, the proprietors
were summoned before court charged
with employing falsehood in their public
announcements by means of a]luringp pla-
cards, such as are used the world over,
suggestive of cheap bargains. Several
of these placards, bearing such notices
as I" selling 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 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-
tablishment 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
present.

The Doomed Assnsstn.

Guiteau is visited IN bis cell daily by a, large
number Of morbidly curious people, all eager to
see and talk to the man who Isl soon to expiate
his great crime. The presence of SO many
strangers, among whom the fair 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 q
stranger. District Attorney Corkhill con6scated
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 nonsensical addresses. The
prisoner is allowed to communicate with no one
but Scoville.
Mr.. Scoville appeared in the CRIMINAL court at
Washington on the 2sth ult., and filed papers on
which he bases bis motion for a new trial. F.
H. Snyder and ]. W. Guiteau made afidavits
that newspaper was found in the room oc-
cupied by the Jurors, on which five of them had
written their names. MIR. Scoville makes the
points that the verdict "Guilty as indicted is
uncertain, there being several counts in the
indictment, each ard 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
q party of gentlemen that Guiteau will be ex-
ecuted not later than June 10.
