Crowds of anxious and morbid sightseers
congregated round the Jail at Washington on
Monday, which was observed as New Years.
The doors were thrown open and about three
hundred visitors-men, women and children
were ushered into Guiteau's cell in suitable
relays. Warm greetings were exchanged,
and the assassin's autograph was in great de-
mand. No such privileges were accorded to
the other prisoners, with the exception of
Captain Howgate, who was permitted TO
leave the Jail and visit his family.
1t is announced that hereafter Guiteau will
not be given any special privileges. He will
be put on jail fare and will not be allowed to
receive callers or to have letters or the pa
pers

The year 1881 leads all previous years in
the number of miles of new railroad COM
pleted. Statistical returns of S242 miles Of
track laid have been received and the total
will be increased to 5000 miles. The mileage
builtin 1880 was 7174. Texas leads the country
with 1900 miles built in 1881, and Colorado
follows with 500 miles It is fact of some
local interest that of the 25S different lines
built in 1881, no less than 49, or over II per
cent, were of three feet gauge; and of the
s242 miles of new track laid, 1870 miles, or
about II per cent, were of that gauge.

1t is fact to be noted that nearly all the
expert testimony in the Guiteau trial has
been strongly against the prisoner. In jail
the experts found him quiet, self-possessed
and rational 1t is only in court that he has
appeared violent and uncomfortable, and
here there has been altogether too much
method IN his madness His interruptions of
witnesses have been confined mainly to those
Tor the prosecution, and his explosions and
abuse have been found to coincide as rule
with the times when telling points were made
against him. 1t was also noticed by more

For some unaccountable reason, frauds in
elections are seldom punished as they deserve
to be in the courts. Whether it is because
both parties are implicated, or because it is
the business of nobody in particular to prose-
cute them, the cheating election officers and
Illegal voters commonly receive no penalty
seyerer than an exposure" znd the condem-
nation of the public prints. Judge Biddle of
Philadelphia has just melted out justice with
asterner hand. An election officer who plead
ed guilty to making fraudulent returns was
sentenced to pay fine of $780, to six months
Imprisonment, and to be DISTINGUISHED for
seven years. A few examples of this sort
would tend to purify our elections more than
yards of platform platitudes in favor of ga
free ballot and fair count"

The immigration statistics of Castle Garden
for the year just closed are startling in their
magnitude. There came across the ocean to
settle in the United States during the year
1881 the enormous number Of 432, 635 per-
sons--a number equalled in no previous
year. The immigrants of 1881 would make
threenew states, each with inhabitants enough
under the practice of Congress to come into
the Union. Germany heads the list with
1873, 255; next comes Ireland with 60, 4O6, and
then England and Sweden close together, the
former sending 80, 552 and the latter 80, 1856.
Italy contributed 10, 2O9, France only 3,9Os,
and Spain only l,556.

.. S. Attorney Beatty of Utah has written
several letters on the subject of polygamy
suggesting various legal methods of dealing
with the Mormon institution. His last effort
in this direction leads the New York Evening
Post to remark that "the more of Mr. Beat.
tvs letters we read the more convinced we
are that Judge Poland, after all, showed that
he understood the real difficulty in the case
better than any one when he used to ridicule
in Congress the idea that the Mormon prob.
lem could be solved by simply legal means.
Any useful bill for the alteration of the law of
marriage in Utah, he said, must wind up with
the provision that the President shall have
power to enforce the provisions of this act
by means of United States troops.'"

Attorney General Brewster writes to Coun-
sci Bliss, in regard to the star route cases, in
the imperative mood and says that certain
things must" and ''shall" be done, with an
emphasis that appears to indicate business.
He has also come to the encouraging and
sensible conclusion that, in cases of the mag
nitude of these, it is the duty of the attorney
general to personally conduct them and
he will, therefore, appear in court to assume
the responsibility. Mr.. Brewster's declara-
ton in regard to both the civil and criminal
suits is as emphatic and reassuring as could
be desired

It is not altogether a welcome fact that all
the testimony in Guiteaus case points to his
sanity and responsibility. 1t would be very
much more agreeable and every way more
creditable to the country if it could be shown
that the prisoner is actually insane and there
fore irresponsible. 1t appears that L. S.
Attorney Corkhill acted upon this principle,
and before beginning the prosecution salts
fed himself, by careful expert examination,
thu Guiteau is and was sane and responsible.

A DASTARDLY ACT.

The assault Of the editor of the
TINES, by worthless fellow named
II. A. Reed, yesterday, was totally
inexcusable. Reed was ordered out
OF, and did leave. the country, early
last winter; and why he should find
fault with the TINES for merely stat
ing the fact, Gnstead of attacking
those who made him leave) is mex
plicable except on the superstition
that he has been hired to do it by
some one interested in lessening the
Influence of the TINES. The fact that
be permitted three long days to
elapse before his wounded sense of
honor led him to seek satisfaction
for the alleged offense, would almost
seem to justify such a supposition.
But, whatever may have been the
motive, the act is a dastardly one,
and Of such a character that it goes
10 show that he is quite deserving Of
the hard reputation which he bears.

Looking Up Reeds Record.

Although people here are almost
unanimously of the opinion that Reeds
reputation is bad and that he is no
desirable citizen anywhere, the
TINES will not rest here. He courts
an investigation of his ''record."
The TINES will investigate. 1t will
trace him to Park City, Utah, to his
auction rooms in Salt Lake, then to
the streets Of that city, thence to the
assigneeship which he had in Bellevue
last year, and, possibly, back to Salt
Lake, where he spent last winter. If
the mans record is good, the TINES
will say SO, and humbly apologize for
all it has said about him so far. If
otherwise, the TINES will also say so.
1t may take time and involve some
expense to do this, but as even I con-
demned murderer has a right to be
heard, the TINES will not deny that
right to anybody. In the meantime
Reed aud his possible sympathizers
NAV as well understand that the
TIMES is not going to be inundated,
and that it will do what it considers to
be right, under all circumstances.

H. A. Reed.

The man Reed is undoubtedly a
bad egg. Let any one walk up or
down Main street, on either side,
either in Haley or Salt Lake, and
ask any one who knows about Reed,
and the usual reply will be that he
is bad man. Those who will not
say as much will at least say that
his reputation is bad, and that they
know no good Of him. A year ago
last winter 4 Wood River mining
man was roped into bunko game in
Salt Lake, robbed of what money he
had and 1900 besides, for which
be gave his checks. Reed presented
one of these (for 5000 for payment
to the banker upon whom they were
drawn. But it was late in the even
ing, and the banker refused. The
next morning payment was stopped,
and Reed or his friends did not, of
course, dare to protest the checks.
He came to Wood River last sum-
mer, and at the fall term Of the Dis
trict Court here appeared among the
attorneys until some one informed
him that he laid himself liable for
contempt of court in appearing with
out having been admitted to prac-
tice
On the third Of last December he
was ordered out of Bellevue BY a
note handed to him, and which read
as follows:
BELLEVUE. Idaho. December 3,
lSSl.-To II. A. Reed-You are
hereby ordered to leave town within
"a hours. If you do not leave you
will be sorry, as we will make you.
=. =. ~.
Reed said that he would "see
them all damned before he would
leave" but when the next Blackfoot
stage came along he did leave, and
did not return until recently.
