THE TRIAL GOING ON.
GDiteOu Discovers that DaVidge
is n Christian Gentleman.

WASHINGTON, January 13.--Upon the
opening ofthe Court this morning, Guiteau
said: "In justice to myself and Davidge, 1
desire TO say that received letter yes
terday severely denouncing Davidge, and
my remarks against him were based upon
that letter. 1 have found out, however,
that l was mistaken, and that Davidge is
high-toned Christian gentleman and
sound lawyer. l desire, therefore, to with
draw anything that / have said against
him. I still entertain the same opinion of
Corkhill, however. am satisfied l was
wrong about Davidge, but right on Cork
hill"
Davidge then resumed his argument
and review of evidence. BE showed, by
the evidence of John W. Guiteau and
other witnesses for the defense, the utter
fallacy of Scoville's pat theory that the
prisoner was an imbecile.

GOOD COFFEE.

A BOOM FOR BAYARD.
The Friends of the Delaware
Senator Proud Of His Speech
on the Tariff Question.

WASHINGTON, January 10.-Sena-
tor Bayards speech to-day upon the
tariff question is quite generally COM
plimented as an able presentation of
the subject from his standpoint. One
comment, especially among the Demo
Gratis, is that the speech brings Bayard
forward for the Presidential nomina-
tion in 1884. The idea is Bayard has
planted himself upon the middle or
compromise ground in regard to tariff,
and that he has thus worked out
new policy for his party; that after its
experience oflast year the Democratic
party will not enter another National
Convention upon platform of tariff
for revenue only" that the middle
ground taken by Bayard in his
speech offers a platform upon which
all Democrats may stand together,
and if they accept it, Bayard is
the man for them to nominate for
President. This is about the sub
stance of the comment among Demo,
cratic Congressman who agree with
Bayard, and are inclined to look ia
vorably upon his promotion. There
are of course others who are not will
ing to accord Bayard the leadership
and prominence. His strongest friends
and supports are from the East and
South. His speech was candid and
straightforward. He denounced the
protective system now in force as un-
just, oppressive and out of place. He
did not indicate that he was willing to
sacrifice principle to expediency. He
said the protective system was born of
the war, and was, perhaps, good
enough in time of war; but now, in
time Of peace, it is as much out of
place as an arsenal would be where it
was proposed to manufacture wooden
goods He denounced the doctrine
of tariff for protection with in
cidental revenue, and declared it
should be just and equitable tax laid
to meet the expenses of the govern
ment The present tariff, he said, is
simply prohibitive, in rearranging and
rea1justing it and its burdens, he
wanted to hear from all classes of
7 reople; to have the interests of all
consulted. He wanted the poor mans
interests and needs consulted Though
the Morrill, commission bill was not
just what he believed to be necessary
in the way of legislation, he was will
ing to give it trial as making pro-
gress in the right direction. He
wanted commission that would listen
to all classes and interests, and that
would hear poor people and laboring
people and heed their voices. Bayord
was not hopeful, however, Of the final
passage Of the Morrill, bill. EIe ap-
pretended that the House Of Repro
sentatives would resent the Senator'S
action on this subject as an interfer-
ence with its prerogatives, and that
bill would never see daylight in that
end Of the Capitol.

FAILURES FOR SEVEN DAYS.
Tho Largest in any Week for
Twelve MOnThE.

NEW YORK, January 13.-R G. Dunn
& Co., of the Mercantile Agency, report
the failures throughout the country for
the past seven days at 203, the largest
number in any week for more than twelve
months. The reason for the increase,
probably, is that large number of the
persons insolvent towards the end of 81
for various reasons held over till after the
opening of the new year, and are now try
ing to compromise and settle up before
the spring. This seems to be particu-
larly the case in the Southern States,
where the failures foot up H. in the

City, Is. No failures of a particular sig
nidcance occurred in New York during

Mark Twain's "FIattest and
Worst" Joke.
Athenmum.


The author, a noted representative
Of American humor, has essayed to
achieve serious book. The conse-
quences are at once disastrous and
amazing. The volume, which deals
with England in the days Of Edward
VI, and is announced as "A Tale for
Young People of all Ages" is only
to be described as some four hundred
pages of careful tediousness, miti-
gated by occasional flashes of unin-
territorial and unconscious fun. Thus
Mr.. Clemens, who has evidently been
reading history, and is anxious about
local color, not only makes a point Of
quoting documents, and parading au-
thorities, and being fearfully in earn
est, but does so with a look OF gravity
and an evident sense Of responsibility
that are really delicious. On the
whole, however. Of Mr. Clemens
many jokes, "The Prince and the
Pauper" is incomparably the fattest
and worst. To this, as general re-
Election, it may bo added that if to

the report that Gould had been causing a
short interest, and was prepared to
squeeze it. The Northwest Company
makes profit of $4,000 on exchange of
bonds which it lately negotiated. The

that the government has not permitted

A Tennessee Girl Going on the
stage.


Miss Matte Dunlap, daughter Of
the late General j. I. Dunlap, is at
home on a visit to her mother, after
an absence of year, in New York,
where she has been studying under
superior instructors, preparing herself
for the stage. During the autumn she
accepted an engagement under the
management of Clark & Gaylor, and
achieved decided success as Eleane in
"The Connisoogah," an Irish drama,
winning golden opinions, both from
the public and the press, for the intel
ligent and charming manner in which
she rendered her lines. Of high social
position, young and gifted, we predict
for her distinguished success in her
dramatic career. Her brave self-re-
lance and high ambition are alike
creditable to this city and State of her
nativity.

lotte, secretary. The session was short and
entirely harmonious.
W. a. Reese, rising young lawyer OF
Greensyilc county, was nominated by ac-
clamation. lie was endorsed as aggressive,
honest, true, and brave, and the very man
TO carry the Democratic banner into the
enemy's camp and show up the treachery
OF Malone. Mr.. Reese was present, and
accepted the nomination in a speech noted
for boldncss and yigOr. He said he would
buckle on his armor at once and work with
out ceasing. IL he fell, it would be with
his back to the field and his feet to the foe.
He severely criticised Malone and Wise,
and heartily endorsed Massey, for whom
he said every Democrat and every white
man who has the interest OF the state at
heart should vote.
Reese will poll the full Democratic vote
OF the district and draw strength from the
white Readiusters.
The resolutions have the ring OF genuine
metal about them. They invoke in no I'M
certain phrases the aid Of the true men Of
the district in defeating the inglorioIIs co.
alition Of Readjusters and Republicans.
With reference to the cndOrsatiOn Of the
present Administration, the question OF
supporting President Arthur was scorn-
fully rejected, and those who favored any
such support were pronounced the friends
OF the " INSCRIPTIONS enemy OF Virginia,
Malone" "In William Mahone,' pro-
claimed Resolution No. 3, ave recognize
a traitor TO the Democratic party, traitor
to his State, and broker trading on the
honor Of Virginia at the expense OF her
shame and debasement, enrichinS his own

The resolutions were pretty severe on

men to lower the sanctity Of the courts

dorSatlon Of the big Four" and the can
didacy OF Mr.. Massey, and pledge their
unqualified and united support to the
latter in his war against Mahonci,m. The
concluding resolution is ~ follows:

OF our people As were Readiusters on prin-
ciplc, and whose Readiustcr procliyitics
sided with a settlement OF the state debt, to
return to the Democratic ranks and assist
us in our fight against Republicanism, since
