West UNION, W. Va, January S.-The
special term OF tho Circuit Court
which was called for the trial Of John A.
Cation, for The murder OF Henry N. Rice
last July, opened yesterday with Judge
S:ealy on tho bench. Tie day was spent
il obtaining jury. The case has been
generally discussed throughont the county,
and, therefore, it was very difficult to find
man who had not made up or
expressed an opinion. The prevailing
opinion now is, that the Jury will no. agree,
from the fact that some "crankyn i1rors
are in the box. Public opinion is against
the prisoner, and great indignation Is ex.
pressed against his counsel, for trying to
set at liberty within their midst o man
guilty Of such dastardly crime. The good
peopleiare waiting patiently to ees Justice
meted out by the law, aud il they fail in
this, Judge Lynch" may be called to hold
a special term in this county, for tho pro-
lection Of its people and their prosperity. +

INSIDE POLITICS.
Why Gen. Grnnt IL not Friendly TO Pres.

ident Arthur.
WAsuISGToS, January Seen. Grant is
said by bis friends to be bitterly opposed
to Arthur. "Why should hs have any
bitterness?" was asked Of one OF Grants
special friends to-day. II will tell YOU, y
was his reply. "Grant, you will remember,
was with Arthur .at Elberon after Gar.
field was dead. Apparently Arthur was
mere clay in the hands Of the potter.
Arthur 80 leaned upon Grant at the time
that the latter had good reason to suppose
that his first simple request would not be
refused. When President Arthur began
to make up his Cabinet Grant came over
here to ask that Gen. Ned Beale, his espe.
cial chum and friend, should be made
Secretary Of the Navy. Gen. Beale was
an old naval officer and gentleman In
every way fitted, from social standpoint,
to make an excellent head for the depart.
ment. Grant went to Arthur and asked
this appointment without the slightest
thought OF meeting with refusal. Arthur
took the matter under consideration and
finally ended tho whole thing by appoint
ing William L. Chandler, man Grant
hates with furious hatred. After Arthur's
rebuff and Chandler's appointment, Grant
went oil into III elephantine rage. You
know it takes great deal to mako m ele-
phant mad, but it takes him about cen.
tury TO cool oil. Well, Grant is in one OF
his ugly moods over Arthur's treatment
and although he has Us yet said but little,
he is none the less angry aud unforgiving."

past; but its continuance during December
when the weak spots are ordinarily
brought into prominence by the desire 10

plies into the hands OF strorg parties, who
are financially able to hold il for payirg
market: The consumption OF wool by the
worsted mills has been enormous, and,
in addition to the closer marketing OF
and delaine weola, which this
demand has brought about, there has been
an unusually large amount Of clothing
aeecss worked up into wo,s.ed fabrics by
the use Of improved machinery, which has
enabled manufacturers 10 use yools of
shorter staple than could DO utilized in
former years. For this reason available
stocks are believed to be smaller than
usual at this time, and holders are indiffer-
ent about realizing except ut full

greater cuItailment Of production by the
woolen mills than seems probable, the
balance Of last years clip will be required
for consumption before the product Of
1881 is ready for market. The possibility
Of tariff action by Congress is disturbing

This Bcnty tho DuelIo.

BALTIMORE, January S.-Ths papers this
morninggive publicity to a disgraceful scene
enacted Inst night in the parlor Of a promi.
nent merchant residing at Mt. Vernon
Place, this city. The affair was none less
than regular mill, according to the Mar.
Quis Of Queensbury rules, fought between
two young men named Webb and Henton.
The question rose few days ago regarding
the sparring abilities Of the two men, and
1t was decided to settle the matter In due
form. Charles Emory, OF New York, an
upon sporting matters, was en-.
gagged for the occasion, and he acted as the
referee. Fo1r rounds were fought, and
both men were badly punished. Webb
was declared the victor, although Hinton
was awarded first blood. A champagne
supper followed the contest at the Mt
Vernon hotel. All the parties are prom.
inently known, and great efforts were
made to suppress the matter, without avail.

A Ghoul What.is.if,

CLEVELAND, O., January S.-The Herald
publishes the following from Fostoria: The
people Of Perry township, Wood county,
are in blaze Of excitement over the ap-
pearancc of a strange animal in the GENE
terry in that township. Some days ,go it
made It's appearance and has since bur
rowcd in the ground, coursing among the
graves and devouripg the putrid corpses.
Tho people have dug for it in vain, as its
rapidity in moyiug through the soil ia
astonishing. Dogs refuse to seek it. At
night it retires to a large bed OF rocks, in
which it has it's lair. About fifty or sixty
bodies haye been badly mutilated, the
bones lrequentlybeing drawn some distance
out OF the coffin. The hole made by the
animal is about six inches in diameter.
New graves are generally undisturbed, as
the boxes prove sufficient bulwark
against the ravagipg beast.
