shermam,s Funding Blu Doomed.

Especial western Associated IreSS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. There is bitter and
determined opposition in the Sherman funding
bill in the senate and if it passes that body it
will. be materially amended. Senators Win
dom, Plumb and!Miller are mentioned as Re-
prblicans, who are against the bill, and it is
said there are several others en- that side of
the chamber who will vote against it. Win
dom is represented as holding that no refund
ing legislation is necessary, as everything
operated SO smoothly and satisfactorily under
the plan he put in force of continu-
ing bonds at 3H per cent, one point
that will be made against the bill
is that if new bonds are issued they will be
entitled to double interest pending calls for
redemptions of bonds, that 3 per cents must
be sold to obtain money with which to redeem
3H per cents, and that for the ninety days in
tervening between call and redemption both
classes of bonds will be bearing interest.
From this it will be argued that the net saw
ing to be effected by the Sherman bill would
not be sufficient to warrant refunding, or
in other words, that after counting the
cost nothing is to be really gained
by the per cent. funding law. The
Democrats will generally support Vests
amendment, which is the Carlisle amendment
to the vetoed bill of the last congress, pro-
viding that per cents shall be the only bonds
receivable as security for national bank circu-
lation. This amendment will meet with op-
position and it is not improbable that while a
decided majority of the senate favor per
cent. funding law, the measure may fail to
pass because of differences as to the provis-
ions such law should contain.

Advices from the u. 8. Steamer Rodgers

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-Charles F. Putnam,
graduate of the Annapolis naval academy In
1878, who joined the United States steamsphip
Rodgers in search of the Jeaunette, writes an
interesting letter to his mother of this city.
The first section of the letter is dated U. 8.
steamer Rodgers, Arctic Ocean, August Is,
1881. In it he speaks OF being at st.
Michaels, in the Pacific ocean from August Sd
to the 18th, and hearing nothing Of the JEAN
nette or her party and on the 1lth, sailing for
This contradicts the statement of NJ. Soul
owsti in a recent dispatch that the Chasssur
met she Rodgers on the 9th of August, and
that the Rodgers was steering for Herald
Island, In point of fact the Chasseur could
not at that time have been in the Arctic, and
the Rodgars, which certainly had not, was
steering, not for Herald Island, but for Plora
bay. The Rodgers reached Plora bay on the
10Th of August and Master Putnam says did
not find the Russion man of war Strelock, and
therein he again contradicts M. Soulowski
That vessel, he says, had left on the 18th,
leaving word it would meet the Rodgers at st.
Lawrence Bay. They did meet the Streloek
on the 18th, and on the 10th passed through
Behring'S Strait in company with her into the
Arctic Ocean.
Master Putnam says we have heard Of sever
al sledge parties, both on the northern coast
of Siberia and on the coast near Point Barrow,
and some think it may turn out that
some of the Jeannette's party have left the
ship and started by sledge. We shall investi-
gate these stories, first going to Cape Serdye
Ramen, on the north coast of Siberia, and
thence to the eastward, where we will find the
whalers and learn from them what they have
heard.
He speaks of the fine weather, the thermom-
eter being 40 degrees above zero all day, with
no ice in sight anywhere. The Rodg-
ers was well prepared to remain
two years, he says, to find the Jeanette, but
be expects they will be in San Francisco by
October, 1882.
On the Doth they had lost sight of the She
took. On September 18th he writes, we have
surveyed Wrangel Land and are now about to
start north looking for more land where the
Jeanette may possibly be found.
On Sept 9th writes that their work for
the year is about finished and they are going
to st. Lawrence Bay to winter. He refers to
party to be left at Cape North, in Siberia, to
make sledge Journeys along the coast.

Mr.. Conkling, the greatest parliamentarian
and one of the foremost statesmen of his
time, and even President Arthur, kindness
for which he would receive reward.
Why, had Gen. Grant, Mr.. Conkling or Presi-
dent Arthur been standing at the door of the
Baltimore d Potomac depot on the morning
of the shooting; had they seen the
assassin creeping upon his victim
revolver in hand, aiming at his back, an iron
hand would have descended which would have
paralyZed the assassin and saved the president.
The audience carried out of themselves by
Porter's eloquence, applauded vigorously, de-
spite the cries of order and silence.
Even Guiteau was affected but he managed to
say, "The stalwarts are coming to my side
every way. You. ought to see some of the
letters get. They are coming to think with
me and SO are decent people,
Porter ran over the decisions of state courts
collected in the st. Louis law journal intro
duced yesterday by the defense and showed
that the courts of eighteen states held the
view of the prosecution that the insanity of
the assassin must be proved by the preponder-
ence of evidence. The federal courts unani-
mously adhered to the same view, while the
courts of eight states held feebly that the ac-
cused was entitled to the benefit of doubt.
JUDGE COX,
at 11:45, began the reading of his decision.
He occupied fifty-five minutes in reading that
portion of his decision touching upon the
question of jurisdiction. He reviewed the
progress of opinion, and cited all important
rulings from the early days of common law
in England, and decided against the prayer of
the defense. He summed up the question that
jurisdiction is complete in the place where the
wound is inflicted. Consequently, this court
has full cognlzance of the offense.
Judge Cox next took up the question of the
legal test of insanity, and decided that knowl-
edge and appreciation of the difference between
right and wrong must be taken as correct
test.
Judge Cox concluded his decision at IL,
having consumed an hour and forty minutes
with rapid speaking upon every material point.
His rulings were directly against the prayers
of the defense. The only grain of comfort
for the prisoner was the offer, when Judge
Cox reached the question of reasonable doubt.
Upon this subject he said: 81 shall not charge
the jury to acquit if they find a reasonable
doubt as to any one element, but shall take
into consideration and charge them relative to
The elements, and that if from all the circum-
stances and evidences they have reasonable
doubt of the commission by defendant of the
crime as charged, then they shall acquit'
AS Judge Cox finished speaking Guiteau
called ont, 81 am perfectly satisfied with that
exposition of the law.'
After consultation between counsel the
court adjourned until Thursday morning,
when Davidge will make the opening argu-
ment to the jury for the prosecution.
