Here clamor and din was made by
Guiteau, reinforced by his counsel. and
Scoville finally objected to Porter's con-
struction of the evidence and the prison.
er insisted that Porter be arrested for in
science.
The balliffs tried to quiet the assassin.
but only drew from him the most vicious
demonstrations.
Judge Porter then reviewed the testi-
mony of DIR. Spitzka, and was called
mean, lying, dirty whelp at intervals by
the prisoner.
The picture drawn by Judge Porter
was anything but lovely one and pro-
voked the prisoner to the most abusive
letorts. "You are liar, and you know
it, Judge Porter; and tell you it to
your face" he called out.
"This man." said Judge Porter, "who
says he never deceived any one"
"That's tact,' said the prisoner. Put
that in frequently.
"This man who says he never deceiv-
ed any one says in one of his hand bills,
'lecture by the Hon. Charles Guiteau.
If he never deceived any one where did
he get this title of honorable?"
| at Porter's eloquent stirring sentences
Guiteau was reused almost to fury and
beloved like beast. Porter referred
to Reeds discovery that Charlotte
Cordan WAS insane, and said she was o
great contrast to this indicative, cow
ardiy wretch; she was not afraid to die"
II amt either" shouted Gniteau; you
may put my body in the grave if you
can, but tell you the nation will 20
down in blood if you harm hair of my
head."".
"Wilkes Booth" said Porter, "was al
most patriot compared with this cow
ardly assassin; he was a man OF
manhood, but this sneaking, cowardly
wretch could plan for his victims death
and his own safety, at the same time he
murdered for revenge and notorlety.
Guiteau-"l shot my man in broad day
light and don't you forget it, Porter"
For the next half hour there was q
continuous string of Interruptions anc
abuse from the prisoner and score ol
times he denounced Judge Porter as {
, liar with various adjectives. Never be-
fore had ! is vindictiveness been 80 plain
and his cunning merged into angry spite
and he unwittingly emphasized Porter't

In the United States supreme court a
decision has just been rendered in the
case of Clay county, Illinois, VS.. the So
ciety of Savings. This was suit upon
the coupons of series of bonds issued
by the county of Clay, partly as a sub
scription to the capital stock of the Illi-
nois Southern and Eastern railroad, and
partly as donation to that corporation.
The court holds that the coupons and
bonds must be enforced; that where the
interest has been paid on the bonds for
eight or ten years, as in this case, with
out objection, the county cannot then
suddenly refuse to pay any more inter.
est, and escape liability without setting
up more reliable defense than that re.
lied upon. The judgment Of the court
below is affirmed. The opinion is by
Justice Woods.

It is estimated that between 100000 and

this year, a larger influx than any pre-.

The enormous demand for cotton
goods from the Asiatic countries,
the British Board of Trade Re
turns for April, received this week,
show that SO far from there having
been any falling off, as has been
persistently predicted for months
past, the takings during April were
larger than ever before during the
same month. And, while the per-
centage of increase in the exports
of yarn and goods was 1880 per
cent. for the first four months of
the year 1850, the percentage off
crease in April was I6.ooI per cent.
The exports of goods to British In
dia were I5o,ooo, 900 yards in April,
1881, against 100000 yards in
April, 1850.
One of the most gratifying feat
ures of this months tables is the ev-
idence which it gives of a heavy in
crease in the demand FOR goods
from China. To China and Japan
the shipments were $4,000, 900 yards
in April, 1881, against $1,000, 900 in
April, 1880. We have repeatedly
maintained that the steady increase
which has been going on from
month to month for the past three
years in the shipments of goods to
India is of permanent character,
and not due to the replacement of
stocks that had been reduced dur
ing the famine period. Neverthe-
less, it is better for the trade that
the demand should be more evenly
distributed among the great coun-
tries. And when we find an in
crease of 100 per cent. in the TAX
ings bv China, whose inhabitants
still chiefly consume hand>woven
goods, the promise which tLis fact
holds out for the future is of the
most unmistakable Cot
ton, Ne1v 1ork, Jnne, 1881.

Whoever controls the cotton
goods of the world controls the ex-
changes of the world. In this
sense, "Cotton is king" The great
mistake of the Southern people, in
thinking that cotton was king, con-
sisted in believing that raw cotton
was king. There was as little of
truth in their belief, as there is in
most widespread popular delu-
sions. Whoever controls the cotton
is king, and powerful though not
an unlimited monarch. Very few
people want raw cotton; or can do
anything with individually; every
one wants cotton cloth in some
form, and every one can individu-
ally turn it to his purpose. The
Southern people did not see this
truth, and therefore never perceived
that they were more completely de-
pendent on the manufacturer of
cotton than almost are the raisers of
any other agricultural product
whatever upon the consumer of
that particular article. Of all the
great products of agriculture, cotton
in its raw state is one of the least
necessity to the individual man. 1t
requires the capital, skill, and me-
chanic arts to make it available

adopted by the contractors was different
from that intended by Capt. Eads, and re-
suited in leaving the central space be-
tween the half arches IL inches too short
to receive the central tubes; and as the
contractors had constructed each tube ac-
cording to Capt. Eads' designs, they re-
fused to complete the work of erection so
far as it related to the insertion of these
central tubes, because they were too long
for the space. The problem of how to

to solve. If these tubes were reduced %

goods in Asia, already very great,

While this journal is not a polit-
ical paper nor the Grange a polit-
ical organization, it is the duty OF
every member of the Order to ap-
prove the acts of our public men
when they subserve the great in
terests of agriculture, and there is
no Representative in Congress,
next to that faithful Grange leader,
Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, of South
Carolina, who has been more earn
est, and consistent and fearless in
the advocacy of the rights ana in
terests of the agricultural class than
Hon. H. L. Muldrow, who has SO
ably and faithfully represented this
District since 1879. He was, we
believe, the first Representative who
presented a bill in Congress to
make the Agricultural an Execu-
tiveDepartment, and it was this bill
that lacked but one vote of passing
the House at the last session. On
all questions that have come before
Congress, Col. Muldrow has been
a faithful and efficient champion
of the agricultural classes, and his
able and faithful services have re-
ceived and will continue to receive
their recognition and most earnest

larger boats, with novel and powerful
machinery, for pumping out the sand and
water and lifting the entire hull and cargo.
The field of his operations finally en-
braced the entire river and its tributaries,
and many valuable steamers were set
afloat and restored to usefulness by his
methods. In I845 Mr.. Eads erected at ST.
Louis the first glass works west of the
Ohio river. In 1886 he made a proposi
ton to the Government to remove the
of the Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and
Arkansas rivers, which passed the House
of Representatives in 1857, but failed for
want of time in the Senate. In I967-74
Capt. Eads designed and constructed the
famous steel -arched bridge over the Mis-
sissippi river at st. Louis. It's central
arch has clear span of $40 feet, and the
side arches are 5o2 feet each. Its granite
piers all rest upon the bed rock underly-
ing the river deposits. Two of them are
much deeper than any others yet built.
One of them, weighing $4,000 tons was
sunk to the bed rock, 90 feet below high
water mark, through 90 feet OF sand and
| gravel. Another weighing 10000 tons, is
founded on the bed rock I3o feet below
| high water mark. Many novel devices
were designed by Capt. Eads in the con-
/ struction of the caisons, and these inn
proyements were adopted in the sinking oi
the deepest piers of the East river sus-
pension bridge. The arches were built
out from the piers until they met in the
centre. The half spans near the shores
were upheld by huge iron guys passing
over temporary towers on the piers and
anchored on shore. On the other centra
piers the half spans balanced each other
being built out from the opposite sides o
each pier. AS a steel or iron column i,
shortened when load is put upon it, 81
the arches of the bridge are shortened By
their own weight when resting agains
their abutments. They had to be design
ed 2 - inches too long for the space be
tween the abutments, to allow further in
itial compression. The arches are com
posed of four curved ibis formed of a
upper and lower line Of steel tubes !

inches in length before insertion, the arch
would be several inches too low to suit the
roadway when the support of the guys
were withdrawn. The financial wants of
the bridge company required Capt. Eads
to visit London just before the first arch
was closed; but before leaving he design
ed set of tubes for closing it that could
be shortened or heightened at will This
was done by cutting each one of the orig
inal tubes in two, and joining the several
was turned a right and-left screw fitting
into threads inside of the tube ends. Sew
eral inches of the tubes length were cut
out to permit it to be shortened up SOFAS
to enter the space. Pin holes were made
through the plug, for the insertion of
levers by which it could be turned. BY
this mothod all these enormous arches
were closed. There is popular belief
that the insertion of lhese tubes was ac-
complished by contracting all of the other
tubes constituting each half span by the
application of ice. When the time ar
rived for closing the first or western arch.
| an effort was made to insert the unaltered
central tubes of the eastern one, which
were of the same size, into it by
contracting the arch with ice. About 60
tons of ice were applied to it; but after
several days spent in the experiment, it
was abandoned, and the extension tubes
designed by Captain Fades were in
serted without difficulty in few hours.
The ice experiment was made in his alb
sence, and without his knowledge. After
the extent tubes were inserted and coupled
at each end to the others, the PLAYS were
4 turned to extend them until the arch was
of the desired length. The steel which
had been cut out of the length of each
tube was than replaced by semicircula,
pieces OF the same quality and diameter
The next great work executed by Cant
Eads was the deepening of the mouth =

years various plans to accomplish th;,
have been tried. In 1872 a comm;ss;o,

commended for his recent message
to Congress recommending an ap-
preparation of S., 2,o2o, 900 for restor-
ing the Mississippi River levees, in
stead of $I,oIo,ooo heretofore re-
commended for that purpose by the
Mississippi commission. The ap-
preparation of sufficient funds for
the building of levees and thus re-
straining the great ''father of Wa
ters" within bounds would be an in
estimable boom the farmers of the
Mississippi Valley. In concluding
his message to Congr ess, the Presi-

"The cotton product of the region
subject to the devastating floods is
a scource of wealth to the nation,
and of a great importance in keep
ing the balance of trade in our fa-
yor. 1t may not be inopportune to
mention that this Government has
imposed and collected some $7o,-
ooo, 900 by a tax on cotton in the
production OF which the lower
Mississippi is largely engaged, and
it does not seem inevitable to re-
turn a portion of this tax to those
who contribute, particularly as such

by which the bars of the mouth would be
avoided. This plan was vigorously op-
posed by Capt. Eads in several pamphlets,
IN which he favored an open mouth for
the river, and asserted the entire feasibil-
ity of deepening the bar of one of the
passes BY building parallel jetties out into
the sea across it, to prevent the river
thereby losing its velocity and its power

which lis waters are heavily charged
