GRAPE culture has made so much pro
2:reSS already in our New England, mid

from year to year is so extraordinary, that
some enthusiastic agriculturists may be

as great in this branch of cultivation as
she already is in so many others.' In the
Atlantic, States grane - culture Seems to
offer many sources of profit _sufficient to

Tttt New York Breers are again in

matter, declares that the so-called bever-
age of Gambrinus is an adulterated com
pound entirely unfit to drink. It is but a
short time since the brewers professed to
givea statement of what they made their

from recent reports that .there are some
things they either forgot to mention or
kept back from the public on purpose.

appealed in Luzerne and other counties

\Yr; most heartily endorse the following
from the Lebanon Courier: "A verdict
of $3,235 has been found against an editor,
named CITAk, up in Lackawawraceunty,
for a libel on Mr. SCRANTON. We know
little of this particular case, but that;.:
there is too loose a pen wielded by many
connected with the seriSation press of the
country is a fact to be deplored. There
is a certain class of papers whose speccal
ty is the assailing of the Character of pub
lie men, " without rhyme or reason;" and
a pity it is that a perverted taste among
the people causes :the slanders to be en
joyed, and incites to further indulgence
iu the wicked and unmanly work. A
man's character can be well judged by
the Papers he is found reading." .

POSTMASTER-GESEELL JAMES' annual
report has been made public lie recom
mends a reduction in the salaries of peet
masters, a re-distribution of the stints_
paid for railway mail service, and' a
change in the rates charged for third and
fourth class matter; merchandise and rids
.cellairous printed matter. -By the aid of
these and other reforms, he announces
that letter postage can be reduced from
three to two cents in the next three years.
The Postmaster-General also recommends
post office savings banks, cheap money
orders at the rate of three cents for sums
of, $5 and less, with other important re
forms. Through the exposure and stop
page of the Star Route frauds, $1,147,757
has been saved to the Department.
311 t, A. M. Gursbs, who • claims to be a
special attorney for the United States in
the matter of the Star service investiga
tion, has submitted a report to the Acting
Att'wee) , General, which was last week
made public. Mr. GIBSON 'Says at the
outset : "For manifest reasons it would
not no prudent in this report to disclose
all the facts discovered by the investiga
tion pursued by the representatives of
the two_ departments, or to indicate a
tithe of the evidence, which; must bere-.
served for the courts of j4itice." The
docurilent is nevertheless of great length,
and would till about twenty ordinary
newspaper columns, exclusive of its ac
companying "exhibits." Among other
charges which are alluded to is the matter
of sixteen mites which General BRADY
granted allowances for expedition in 1877,
the contract price being $184,544.24, and
the extra alloWances $197,946.16. Cases
are also cited where the increase was at
the rate of 56 per cent., and the addi
tional work about per cent. The
ranting of retroactive allowances, in d
rect violation of law, is also charged.
l'uosF.ctrioNs have been made in a
'lumber of counties throughout the State
of . physicians who neglected or b pettishly
refused to register •as the law directs.
Some of these physicians assumed to set
themselves above the law,. and to defy it,
but in all these cases the law was too
strong for them. The trouble in all such
cases is the efforts of a man or a nurnter
of men to decide that a law is wrong. No
man or set of- men can do this. That is'
the business of the court of last-resort.
Lower courts arc bOund to enforce ally
statutes until they are pronounced unn.onH
stitutional, and this the physicians who
attempted to ignore the regAstration act
have discovered. It is also 'complained
by some physiCians that bogus diplomas
are presented to the prothonotaries. This
.
may be so, but as the matter now stands,
prothonotaries are the only authority to
judge of the genuineness of such instru
ments. Whether these officers do this
ntelligently or not, is no question forllie
faculty to decide. They have the author
ity to make the judgment in the premises,
awl s., the courts decide: All that all
physicians, have to do is to : apply for and
make a registry, and •when-they fail iu
this, they are liable to the tine.
THE PARTY TRIPLICATE.
The uninstructed observer might
conclude that the Republican, party
in Pennsylvania has a superabundance
of material. after reading the post
election address of Mi. WOLFE and
the resolutions adopted by the gen
tle Men who met at the Continental
hotel the other day. Parties in -du
plicate are not so - uncommon as to
excite much remark. Parties in tri
lieate are not so often observed,-how
ever. We do not knOw of any polit
ical party so great numerically that
it can afford to divide. itself in even
two parts, sad in that coLditiim
peel to appear formidable to a well
•
organized . opposition.' The returns
of the November election conclusive. :
show that had the Democracy
been united and well led they would
haVe"been able to carry off the fruits
of victory. The Republicans won,
partly.because they were well organ
ized, and partly because the Demo
crats were divided in sentiment and
in 'action
The Republicans of Penpsylvani&
cannot afford to maintain a state of
war within the party. The entire
membership of the party is needed
to give moral 'force to. the victory.
The old proverb touching a house,
divided against itself applie to po
litical 'parties as tbrcibly as it does
to nations. It does not follow that
there can be no difference in opinion
in a nation at peace with itself. We
know better than that at the outset
What does follow is that our united
purpose is. absolutely required to
preserve national integrity.'
,Unity
Of purpose and differences of opinion
are strictly compatible. There was
a very wide divergence . _ of opinion
among the founders of the republic,
but with ; it all there was a singleness
of purpo i Se made entirely evident to
-any one who reads history for in
struction. There was .very little in
common, so far as opinion was con
cerned, between the Federalists, led
by HAMILTON, WASHINGTON and AD
AMS, and the early Republicans led
by JEFFERSON and BURR. But so
far as- the Republic was concerned
all of these men were practically
united, each professing, and no doubt
sincerely, save as to Bunn, to desire
nothing so much as the . success Of
the newly born nation. Tbey differ
ed respecting policy,- and time has
shown - that there was room for differ
ences of opinion in that respect.
There is the same reason for dif
ferences of opinion within &party.'
Such differences, -prevailed - in the
Republican party from the beginning..
Even during the war ißepublican's
differed widely as to the policy of
emancipation. They differed,
.yet,
their purpose being . the same, theef
feet was not destruction 'to that har
mony in action which alone can ren
der a:barty formidable' to its oppct
nents. At this time the quarrel
between Republicans does not relate
to the - general :Volley of the party.
Republicans differ in opinion some
what as respects the policy of the
party in the nation. But the quarrel
is not over such divergences in opin
ion. The quarrel relates to leadership.
to management, to dynasties. It is
not a 'new quarrel, but on, the con-
Itrary one as old.- . as the history of
organized society. -It is s - wsr whirr
out armistice and sometimes without
truce. It is not peculiar to any civ
ilized land' but is com Mon in all such
lands. It is not Peculiar to. the Re
publican . party but common to all
parties in all times. We hear a grest
deal of the quarrel in the Republican
party of Pennsylvania because it is
the majority party. But in fact there
is a much more formidable quarrel
going on in= the Democratic party of
this State, and the quarrel is between
the dynastyof WALLACE and that of
RANDALL. But -as the Democratic
party is a minority party the fulness
of the conflict is never comprehended
by the general public. Were the
Democrats to get the:lead in Penn:
sylvania the public would Witness a
party quarrel that would quite put
the present unpleasantness in the
_Republican party out of mind.
The kind of conflict prefigured by
the resolutions of the Continental
Hotel meeting is'certainly legitimate
It is announced as a struggle for the
mastery within the lines of the party.
It is not a new departure, however,
hilt an old conflict, to be conducted
with system. It an organized
struggle :for the mastery. How it
may be determined we cannot fore
tell. But if carried on as announced
It cannot be destructive of party life.
It may impair the power of , individ
uals in the party. It may affecti : the
leadership'. But it cannot weaken
the party as an aggiessive force. It
is one of the movements within par
ty lines which are bound to develop
themselve4'after a long term of rule.
To deprecate it is_ to deprecate the
inevitable. It is one of the conflicts
which' determines the survival of the
fittest in party management, and it
will be just as well to take it ',for
what it is.
As important qnestion has just been
decided by the Supreme Court of the
United States irttlie case of the appeal of
Mr. J: IttSTAnx from the decision of the
District Cilurt'ut Williamsport. The suit
involved a matter of some eighteen thou
sand dollari, the plaintiff being the Sec
ond National Bank of Wilkei-Barre. Mr.
STARK had indorsed certain notes, and
the drawee having failed, proceedings
were instituted against the indorser, who
in defense alleged usury on the part of
the plaintiff. The judgment of the. Dis
trict Court was against Mr. STARK on the
ground that a charge of usury could not
be maintained against National Banks in
Pennsylvania under the 30th section of
the National Banking act, as many of the
State banks bad a right to issue currency
under their charters and to charge dis
count rates ranging from six to ten per
cent., and in some cases even more than
this. The judgment of the District, Court
has -now been affirmed by the highest
court of appeal. The question is similar
to that involved- in the case of TIFFANY
vs. the National Bank of Missouri, 18th
WALLACE 409, and decided by Mr.' Jus
tice STRONG. It contains a principle of
great importance to business men general
ly, and establishes the' fact that ho who
contracts with a National - Bank for a high
rate of interest cannot escape the obliga
tion by raising the 'question of-usury.
PENNSYLVANIA now finds it will'
.be to
her interest to pay more attention` o her
orchards than her farmers have been- do
ing for some years past. We do uot.pio
duce fruit enough for the soil, and the
reason is that we do not place enough im
portance on our orchards, 'to the interest
deserves, and can be made to pay. The
Eastern counties of the State - have , been
heretoforesuppliefi with apples from the
State . of New York, and this winter the
stock comes • almost exclusively, from
West Virginia or Ohio. This ought not
to be the case, and there is, no reason for
it, save that our -farmers are indifferent in
the care of their orchards, and that the
cultivation of fruit trees is not made •a
specialty, as it ought to be. An orchard
can be made pay better than lithe ground
it covers were put in grain or vegetables.
This fact is thoroughly understood in re
gions like West Virginia and Northern
New York, where the cultivation of fruit
is pursued with great profit -- = _
•AS THE case proceeds,' it becomes more
and more apparent that (it:ITEM.; is not it
man of perfectly sound mind: It does - ._
not, however, follow, because — he is to a
certain extent crazy, - that he is not crimi
nally responsible for the murder with
which he iißcharged. For that to be the
case, it must appear either that he did
not know what he was doing when he
shot President GATIFIEI2D—a
. proposition.
which is hardly conceivable—or : that he
was incapaciated by mental disease from
controlling his actions. If he appreciated
what he-was doing, and willed to do it,
he is sufficiently sane to be adjudged
The mere fact—if it were a fact—
whicbremains to be proved, that he con
sidered himself the agent of Providerice,
would not exculpate him from a crime so

that there was any carelessness or want

He detail's the processes by which the dis
covery of the bullet was reached, and ex
plains that to medical experts there could
be no possible difficulty in assigning it its

WASHINGTON -LETTER,
WAsnixoTox, D. C.; Nov. 25, 1881.
The Thanksgiving observances are over,
the prayers ended and the sermons for
gotten. While the aroma of the Thanks
giving hird has faded into thin air and his
oyster stuffing become an "unsubstantial
pageant," the clans have been gathering
at the Capital and the scramble for the
Speakership commenced. .
As an overture, we may devoutly return
thanks at this popular time for giving
thanks, that Sam.Randallism safely
put away in its little grave, and with it
the niggardly and sniveling marpiots like
him. Nothing that will follow, nothing
that hurran ingenuity can suggest, would
be more nauseating to-the public thin the
blatant bypectacy of this entire brood of
alleged statesmen. They were barnacles
on the body politic, and thank God they
are gone. . „ • .
The candidates for tiM Speakership
that are already in. the field'are somewhat
numerous, if not notorious; First comes
Mr. Kasson, of lowa ; / miiii Mr. Hiscock,
of Kew York,; Mr. Keifer, of Ohio;- Mr.
Buriows, of Michigan, and Mr: Dunnell.
of Minnesota.
General Keifer his been for some time
quietly waving his banner at the Ebbitt,
waiting for the Thanksgiving matinee to
be over before opening his quarters. The
General's greatest recommendation is
that he hails from Ohio, and the inference
left is that be must necessarily be fit for
anything under the sun. BuPas Ohio has
had her innings and has used them pretty
effectually, it may be deemed proper by
those who happen to reside outside that
the State take a recess for a little time at
least. ' this -fact probably will not very
much enhance the General's chances for
election:
With regard to Mr. Dunnell, of Minne
sota,. abort all that can be said of him is
that he has a loug•bear 1, a big , voice, and
has been a member of\ the House for the
last ten years. - In his strife for the Speak
er's gavel, it will probably not be forgot=
ten that he was one of those 'who advo
cated the salary-grab and pocketed bib
share of the back pay as eagerly and as
coolly as did boss Randall,' whom he now
desires to succeed. With the money safe
ly in his pocket, it will ,be remembered
that then followed his celebrated despatch,
to his business man at l home to "Com
mence to haul sand." That• sand he will
probably find to be an obstacle that will
be seriously in.the way* of his march to
the coveted chair.
Of Mr. Hiscock it is said that he_ is a
gentleiilan and a scholar, and can "speak
well on any subject ;" is a polished man
of- the world and in every - way competent
in point of ability for the place. But not
to put too fine a point upon it, it will be
claimed that. New York has bad her share
of the feast She has carried of the Pre's
ident, Secretary of the Treasury and the
Postmaster General; and to give the
Speakership would, in the minds of- a
great many, be a little too much like
stacking the cards. The West will, as a
matter of course, demand and insist upon
having a show, and from those that, are
supposed to be best informed upon the
subject it is thought that the contest will
finally come down to Hiscock, of New
York, and Kasson,.ofih;ilta. Mr. Hir.eock
has not yet put in an a t iOarance "on the
dark and bloody ground'," but it is under
stood is at-hone busily ap work.' He hai
committed himself to uitra-protectionist
views, and on that issue will openly con
ductlis campaign. If this is made the
direct issue when the members arrive
from all sections, it will be hard to pre
dict the result. „.
On II street near Wormley!s celebrated
cafe, Mr. Kasson, '9E lowa, has fixed his
quarters and has defiantly thrown his
banner to the breeze: With regard to his
aspirations ‘ it • appears that he is not in
clined to say much, but prefers watching
events and lending now and then a help
ing band to his canvass. With regard to
experience and ability, Mr. Musson is
without question the best candidate in , the
field. He has served eight years in the
House, most of the time on important '
committees, and his ready powers in de-'
bate and remarkable parliamentary tal
ents prove that he can handle the chair
to the entire satisfaction' of' all. As a
bard money apostle he has been consist
entimd persistent, is aggressive, and be
lieves in a lively and liberal policy for
internal improvements, and heartily ree
ommaiuls legislation looking toward the
revival and protection tot' our merchant
marine commerce.
Quite - a large and enthusiastic meeting
'of Census clerks was recently held at the
Bureau for the purpose of inaugurating
steps for getting the sense of the entire
force as to the advisability and feasibility,
of presenting Gen. Walker, the Census
Commissioner, a handsome and substan
tial testimonial of their high esteem.
Such action is doubtless:eminently proper
on the part Of the clerki whom the Gen
eral was instrumental in appoio ; 4. to
place, and that they should in some man
ner show their gratitude and appreciation
of Such services is all tight.
Under the great civil service reformers,
the Hon. Carl Schurz and one R. B.
Hayes, Gen. Walker, with a great flour
-ish of. trumpets, was appointed to this
important peeition. Rot for the reason
that he was extraordinarily competent
nor that he was in any way in sympathy
with the prinelphm of the Republican
party was he ielected, but simply booing!)
he was a civil service advocate and had
previously held the position. -The result
of this appointment, axis wind, lief' suck
cases, was a goideend to the."untirriffeV
heroes and bowlers of Washington and
elsewhere, who were crammed by the
score into this Burma. A livelier den of
anti-administrationists and "lost cause"
patriots could not well be found.
There is another fact in connection with
the Census Bureau which it may be
proper to mention. Instead of the census
being completed at an expense of not
above three millions, as estimated, over
four millions of dollars have been expend
ed and the work very farfrom being dune.
Extravagance and bad management have
marked the career of the Commissioner
. at every step, and now he tenders his res
ignation, leaving his successor to ask for
another appropriation and more time to
complete the work.
Such are_some of the resul4 of the so
called civil service reform whiCh' so many
appear to ' be in love . witlii. The theory is
very beautiful in the perspective and
Many love to prate about . statzsmen in
its advocacy rising above partisanship,
but when put into , practice the -results
have. proved to be anything but satisfac.
tery. If the Reptiblican party, which
during the last two decades has carried
the country safely through all of its
perils, cannot find within its 'own ranks
suitable officers-- in the administration of
the affairs of the Government, who believe
in sustainingßePublican principles, then
its usefulness has certainly ceased. While
an attempt is being made to place the
civil service humbug again before the
people, it will not, however, find the sup
port it received under the past adminis
tration. - The rewarding of friends in place
'of enemies will not probably be so much
in the fashion as it has been.
The smoke of the battle has lifted. All
the counties have been heard from, and
the Bourbon party of, old Virginia, with
all its sins and transgressions,- is num
bered among the antique—is dead and
buried. ` . An - empty treasury, rootless
scheol-houses, common whisky and- prom
ises to pay—this is the epitaph for the
headstone of a party whOse grave should'
be where the floods shall rise and its tides
wash the corpse far out to sea.
At the close of the war the State of
Virginia was handed over to the Conserv
ative party. No radical had a hand in
the-management or even a voice in the
legislation of the State. The school fund
was stolen, the credit of the State sunk
below par, and the name of proud old
Virginia was a by-word and a reproach
in every monetary circle., But the Vir
ginia Bourbon was a promising animal ;
he promised and funded, promised and
cajoled until the patience of his creditors
was exhausted. Disgusted and worn out
with promises the libsral-minded men of
the State arose in deir might, and the
result was that Bourbonism is buried out
of sight. j The occupation of the long
haired Bourbon is gone. Filled with hog
and homiby and saturated with corn juice,
he will no longer saunter through legisla
tive halls and court-house greens; talkifig
loud and
„knelling louder, while he dis
cusses ,the affairs of the nation and d—s
Republicanism generally. N.

A Woman on a Cow-Catcher.
NEW YORK, November 26.- - A
strange circumstance occurred on the
Orange express of the Erie Road last
evening 4 The train only makes one
stop between Jersey City and Green
wood. The fireman got off of his
engine .to.oil up at the latter station..
As be was passing around to the
front of the locomotiVe he saw a wo
man lying on the pilot. ;The atten
tion of Conductor Ennis was called
to- the fact and the woman was put
in the baggage car and taken to Mel
rose. She' was scratched about thp
face and her head was bruised She
had evidently been drinking and it is ,
a mystery to know where .she was
picked up. The engineer knew noth
ing of, the matter until the woman
was found by the therein. Her name
was Bridget Coaley and she said her
residence, was ' Paterson. The suppo
sition is that she must. have been
picked up at Paterson, where the
train runs at a slow rate of speed.
She was poorly clad and this morning
was doing well. It was a perilous
ride of thirty miles and it is a mira
cle how she maintained her position
on the pilot . of the engine without
being thrown off. There are a great
many short curves and the train runs
at a high rateof speed.' •

THE Citill'EAll TRIAL.
Mr. Scoville Wednesday continued
and concluded his opening address
for the defence in the Guiteau
He real several letters written by
the defendant yeare ago, in order to
show that his mind was disordered.
Several witnesses were examined,
who, narrated actions of the assassin
that were intended to create a belief
of his insanity. A,physician swore
that; he had been requested to exam.
ins Guiteau and had come to the
conclusion that he was crazy and
dangerous. Two other, witnessess
testified that (uiteau had impressed
them as an insane person. The as
sassin was more than usually refrac
tory; he persistently interrupted the
proceedings by his comments, and at
times appeared to wish to Eiay.some
thing to, cause laughter. The spec
tators apparently met him half way
and displayed a strange levity for
such an occasion.
FRIDAY.
•
Judge Cox Friday showed a con
sciousness that the proceedings of
the buitean trial had hitherto, been
conducted' without regard to the
proper dignity of a court of justice.
He warned the
~ ! ? p ect-litOrs, tinder - ,
penalty. of' bavinl the 6olirt, room
cleared,:that therO be . .,e) inani
festations of - feeling, anal Li...t.ia,--aien
ed to have Giteau gagged unless he
behaved .himself. The as• -, a6sin ap
parently paid little heed to tlie•,threat;
and constantly interrupted the_ pro
ceedings w;th his comments and ob
servations, and was not gagged.
'lluiteau made a statement. iii which
he repeated his
. blospheinoit !tsF4er
tion respecting his partuer6hip with
the Deity. He said that certain
newspapers, which abused President
Garfield must share with hint the
odium of the assassination, and he
threatened to expose. the record of
his. former wife if she appeared
as a witness against him. Testimony
was token in support of the theory
of insanity.
SATURDAY
The proceedilfga - in' the - -
Guiteau Were Marked Saturday by
greater decorum - ,
,so far as concerned
the than they have 'been
on former days', owing in a great
measure to the exertions . made by
Judge Cox.and Marshal Henry: The
prisoner, on the other hand; C9ll tin
ued to supplement the testimony of
the witnesses by remarks and contra
dictions in his usual style. Among
those 'called to the Witness stand
Were Senator -Logan" and Mrs. Sco
ville, the prisoner's sister. It is
ttiought'that the testimony on the
part of the defence,-with the excep
tion, perhaps, of that of Mrs. Scoville
and the medical- experts—will have
~been presented before the middle of
this week.
MONDAY.
Mrs. Scoville, sister of Guiteau,.
concluded her testimony Monday,
and .1. W. Guiteau, the assassin's
brother, was called to the stand. He
refused to admit that his father was
insane, but declared that he had re
cently become convinced of the'pris
oner's insanity. _Other witnesses .
gave testimony. in support of the the
ory of insanity. Guiteau took ad
vantage of a pause in the proceedings
to denounce as "cranks? the newspa
per then_ who have condemned his
clownish conduct in the court-room.
iToward the close of the session the
assassin - was sworn as a witness, and
identified some letters written by
hiihself
.informer years.
TUESDAY
The whole time of• the Court was
occupied on Tuesday by Gil . iteau's
testimony, and he had not concluded
-when_ the Court adjourned . for the
day. = He entered into quite an elab
orate history of his life. There was
a large crowd of spectators present.
Medical Experts Forming Opinions.

experts
. in insanity have been hold
ing meetings to-day -to satisfy them
selves with regard to Guiteau's re
sponsibiFty. This forenoon they

the story of his life, which he gaVe
them very freely. Early this evening

'Dr: John A. Rice, Dr. A. M. Sbew,
of Connecticut; and Dr. Kempster,
of Wisconsin. . -
Mr. Scoville, John W. Guiteau and
Dr. Rice, the physician w ho examined
Guiteau several .years ago and pro.'
nounced him insane, were present by
invitation 'in the early part of_ the
evening. 'They were questioned with
regard to the facts in -- Guiteau's life
and exhibited -letters illustrating the
peculiarities of character of the pri
soner. After they . were examined
and departed, the experts closed their
doors and remaihed - in consultation
until a late hour.
The doctors are reticent about the
meeting, but it is understood that the
proceedings were entirely informal,
and that there exists a.wide differ
ence of opinion among them regard
the.responsibility of the assassin
for his acts.
What Guttman Win Do.
A correspondent of the. Philadel
phia Times visited the assassin in his
cell Sunday and gives the -following ,
account of what he saw. and heard
there : ." Your correspondent Visited
the assassin 'Guiteau in his cell to
day. - A large crowd of ladies and
gentlemen gathered at 'the jail, but t
few of them were ' ( permitted to see
the prisoner.. : During . the morning
about fifteen •!,experts on insanity
were there to examine him. - In the
conversation which folloWed Guiteau
said • the trial was progressing
satis
factorily to him; that he was certain
of acquittal by the jury.; that when
he got on the witness stand lie would
soon cot.vince,them that he removed
the President under inspiration. -gven
the lawyers,- he' said, were friendly to
m, and he mentioned - Colonel Oork
hill and Mr. Davidge by . name• as
having no desire to convict him. He
was-asked what he should do suppos
ing the jury said he must hang. 'I
'would go -upon the scaffold without
fear,' said he. 'lf the Lord-wills it:l
will. obey His commands Without
complaint. I will cheerfully go. It
may not be in this generation, but
the odium attached to my name will
be removed. I . will be regarded as a

Eleven government experts held a
eonaultition to-night at the , Ebbitt

to Gaiteau's insanity. Without ar
riving at a definite conclusion they
ad ourned.
