The Guiteau Trial.

This extraordinary trial has pro
crossed the past week with as much
vigor as ever, and further opportunity
has been given the assassin to 'spread
HIMSELF before large and apparently
appreciative audience. Guiteau is us
noisy as ever, and his removal to the
prisoners dock does not lessen his dis
turbing influence on the court. He
has continued to interfere with the
court and counsel and heap abuse
upon them with IMMUNITY. On Thurs
day last rumor was current that
eleven of the .jurymen were satisfied OF
the prisoners legal guilt.and response
bility, while the twelfth juror thought
him ''as crazy us March hare" On
that morning, as he entered the court
room, Guiteau showed much fear, and
was apprehensive of being shot. He
Dragged that he could take care of him
self if he was turned out upon the
street, out as he was i'll the custody OF
the court he appealed to Judge Cox to
see that he was properly guarded
The cowardly wretch no doubt realizes
that his plea of "divine inspiration
and ''insanity" has lost its force, and is
afraid that some "avenger" will antici-
pate the verdict and put bullet
through him.
DR.. Calendar was called to the stand
on Thursday. Mr.. Scoville read a
letter written by Guiteau to Don Cam
eron a few days previous, but which
had, of course, never been delivered.
The letter was mainly as follows:
am on trial for my life, and need
money. | am stalwart of the stall
warts, and so are you. You think a
great deal of General Arthur, and so
do |. My inspiration made him Presi-
dent, and am going to ask you to let
me have $500. If | get out of this
will return it, if not, charge it to the
stalwarts.
Mr. Scoville asked the witness if he
thought that letter was written by a
man of sound mind. Witness replied
that he didn't think it indicated any
unsOundness, but was consistent with
Guiteau's habit of soliciting money.
DR.. kempster, superintendent of the
Wisconsin state hospital for the insane,
was next called, and testified to Cult
eau's sanity in Il very emphatic man
ner.
On Friday morning, Guiteau was
greatly elated over a dispatch received
from BOstonian, readingY "All Bos-
ton sympathizes with you. You ought
to be President" The impious villain
was more blasphemOus than ever,
comparing himself with the Saviour of
mankind, and branching off into a
rambling harangue. DR.. Kempster's
cross examination was renewed, but
Mr.. ScOville could not break down his
evidence as to the prisoners sanity.
Mr.. Corkhill then announced that the
prosecution would call but one more
witness. Mr.. Scoville said he wanted
to have several new witnesses sworn,
and he would probably use up week
more in putting in this new evidence
as to the state of the prisoners mind
at the time of the shooting, and rebuff
ting testimony. The prosecution gave
notice that they would object to any
reopening of the case for new evidence,
as it would indefinitely prolong the
trial. Scoville wanted to relieve the
jury by allowing them to go to their
homes, but the foreman settled this
point by announcing that the jury
didn't care TO separate till the trial
was over.

The Armstrong Transfer Co. has
just been organized in Boston to carry
on a business which every person who
travels will appreciate. Express mes
sengers board trains before reaching
the city, and give checks for baggage
tn be delivered anywhere in the city.
The same concern will, when desired,
check baggage at hotels and private
residences for all principal points, thus
saving passengers the great annoyance
of getting baggage checked at railroad
depots. St. Louis has this system in
working to Perfection.

The MOrmOns and MOrInOnism.

The increasing arrogance of the
Mormon church and people in Utah,
their open defiance of the laws and
authority of the United States, and
the contest going on i'll Congress over
the seat of the delegate from that ter
ritory, have again brought, to public
attention the evils and denominations
of MOrmonism. This is no new sub
ject, nor is this the first time that eff
forts have been made to cure the evil.
In 1872, Judge Poland (then the Rep
resentative of this district) had Occa-
sion to visit Utah on professional bust
ness and there to learn some of the
evils of Mormon rule in that territory.
At the next session of Congress he in
troduced a bill containing sharp pro-
visions for the purpose of curbing the
rule of the Mormon church, and even
tually uprooting the institution itself.
Zen. Butler, then at the head of the
Judiciary committee in the House,
WV" wv hOiP vi Iiit democrats on inc
committee, succeeded in striking out
or modifying many of its sharpest sec
tions, but still as reported by Judge
Poland from the committee. and as it
passed the House, it was a very potent
weapon against Mormonism.
But in the Senate it encountered the
opposition of Senator Sergeant of Cali
fornia, who succeeded in striking out
some more of the best provisions of the
bill, and as it passed the Senate the
last day of the session, the friends of
the bill had to take what they could
get. The law as passed has been of
great service and protection to the

The anti-mOnopolists have sert out
a capital hit on the monopoly of GER
tain journals by Gould, Field and other
money-kings. 1t is cartoon showing
the Free Press Lighthouse" the
stones of which represent the leading
papers of the country. This structure
is being undermined by Jay Gould and
Cyrus Field, who have taken out the
Tribune, the World, the Evening Mail
and Evening Express, and are prepar-
ing to remove other blocks. Beyond
the lighthouse, out at sea, are shown
vessels wrecked OH "Ghoul's Rock" and
''Nanderbilts' Landing" while Wander
bilt and two other "wreckersn stand on
the shore waiting for prey. The pic
ture portrays the real danger there is
in allowing these great monopolists to
get their clutches on influential jOurn-
ais and turn this influence to enhanc-
ing their own personal ends, to the det-
riment of the people.

Plymouth, n. c., had a miniature
war last week. The trouble grew out
of the shooting of two negroes by con-

life and property there.

The leading railway lines of the
rates, and their annual reports demon
strate that this war is telling severely
on the profits. There is no permanent
good to be gained by the public from
this cutting of rates, and the Boston
journal hits the nail on the head when
it says, in commenting on this fight ::
prudent business men do not need to
be told that the general public enjoys
no permanent advantage when the rail
roads fall to cutting each others
thrOats in this fashion. When the rail
roads do business at less than cost, all
the stockholders suffer, and this i'm
plies widely diff'used loss and gen
eral unsettling of values. Moreover, Il
part of the loss is pretty sure to be re-
couped by turning the screws upon To-
cal business and traffic between non
competing points. One of the first es-
sentials to success in business is a
reasonable degree of stability i'll the
expenses of business-and of these
freight is one of the most important
items. 1t is better for shippers to have
freights at point where the roads
make fair profit, and to have them
stable, than to have them moving up
and down at the control of senseless
and ruinous competition. The railroad
magnates are not in this strife for the
good of the public"

The year To which we have Just said
goodbye has not been fraught with an
overweight of joy to us as nation.
We have had calamity as well as bless
ing, shadow as well us sunshine-the
greatest shadow being that which fell
upon the White House July I'd, and the
depressing influence of which will be
felt for some time to come, directly OF
indirectly. The eyes of the people
have been opened to defects in our
system of government, and it is hoped
that during the present year the prop
er remedies will be applied. What
the year is to bring forth no one can
even guess. Not only as nation, but
as individuals, we walk in the light OF
the present, not knowing what the fu-
tire has in store for us and only as
we are governed by correct principles
in business and social relations in the
present, can we look for any degree OF
success in the future. individuals
make up the state; states make up the
nation and if the individual adheres
to true principles during the year
1852, the nation will feel the conse-
quent healthful influence and prosper
ity.

Washington Matters.

Among several young men arrested
at Washington the other night for dis
orderly conduct were sons of Senators
Bayard and Malone.
Attorney General Brewster has no.
titled Col. Bliss that he approves of
the proposition to prosecute the civil
suits against dishonest star route con-
tractors, and will do all in his power to
recover from those people all moneys
tilched from the public treasury. .
The Utah case is expected to come
up next Tuesday, when an effort will
be made to unseat the Mormon dele
gate, Cannon, and seat Campbell.
Both parties agree that Campbell re-
ceived 1857 votes and that Cannon re-
ceived lS, sos votes, but Campbell holds
a certificate from the Governor of Utah
stating that he is "the person, being a
citizen of the United States, having the
highest number of votes" This sets
side, on the ground that he is an alien !;
but in the long discussion which is in
evitable, the ground will be taken by
several Republicans that Cannon is in
eligible because he is Mormon.

There was no soothing syrup in corn balls,
prize packages or anything i'll the train

RUDE BEAUTIES.

Two young ladies of my acquaintance,
writes New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Record, pretty girls they
are, too. were strolling up the avenue the
other day, when they noticed Mr.. Langtry
walking in front of them with Mrs. Labou-
chere. They hurried up, so as to get a
good look at her, and as they passed her,
Mrs. Langtry said to Mrs. Lab: 'Do you
call those girls pretty2" NO" replied
Mrs. Lab, in her loudest voice, Il do not,
and l haven't seen pretty girl since
came to America isn't it odd" said
Mrs. Langtry, there doesn't seem to be any
pretty girls over here at all" This was
said in very loud tones, evidently intended
for the passers-by to hear. American wit
was her match, though. Isn't that Mrs
Langtry?" said one of these girls to the
other, looking around at her. "Oh, dear
me- that is not Mrs. Langtry," was the re-
ply. given in good, clear voice; Mrs
Langtry is pretty and this woman is not,
and Mrs. Langtry is well bred, and this
woman certainly is not To say that Mrs.
Labs pale eyes flashed fire would be doing
injustice to the daggers that leaped from
out them.
