The Somerset Herald. EDWARD 8CCLL. Editor and Proprietor. .... Jiormb3Z,im. Roscoe Conkling has returned to the practice of law, and has opened an office in New York City. Retorts from Washington say that not less than half a dozen plans for a new bankrupt law will be sub mittcd to Congress soon after that body is organized. Jcdge Folger last week entered upon his duties as Secretary of the Treasury, and Mr. Vindom is busi ly preparing to again resume his g eat in the Senate. Sixce General Green B. Raum has been Commissioner of Internal Rev enue, $GOO,000,000 have been collect ed, and not one dollar has been lost by defalcation. This is a record to be proud of. - Secretary Quay announces him self in favor of Galusha A. Grow as the next Republican candidate for Governor. The smart Alecks of the press insist that the brilliant Secre tary is taking this method of killing off Galusha. I his testimony in the Guiteau case last week, Secretary Blaine stated that he invented the term 4i Stalwart," that he is one of them, and that all Stalwarts worked for the election of Garfield. We hope the Lah-da-dahs wont faint. TnE Independent Republicans of this State held a meeting at the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia, on Wednesday night bet. About a dozen counties were represented by gentlemen with a grievance. It is claimed that the meeting was in the interest of Senator Lee for Governor, Calvin Wells, the owner of the Vcw, for United States Sena tor, and Editor Smoth, of the same paper, for Congress. The object of the meeting, as publicly announced, is to organize the Independents with the purpose of capturing the next State Convention. It was agreed to appoint a com mittee of one from each Senatorial and ICgislative district in the State for this purpose. Here is ample notice of the designs of this clique of soreheads. JCow let the true Re publicans of each county see to it, that the right kind of men are sent to the next Convention, and that the schemed of these kickers are thwart ed. the Bourbons of the South a fearful looking for of justice, judgment, and Republicans to come. X. V. Timet. t 0:0 n em THE It is very evident that Guiteau, whose case is now on trial at Wash ington, is endeavoring to induce the Court and jury to believe hira in sane. His conduct in the Court room is assumed for the purpose of creating the impression that be is a lunatic He becomes obstreperous, insists on addressing the Court, on taking charge of the case, and on dismissing bis counsel. It is thought that his absurdities are all assumed. lie is entirely too self-conscious, and exhibits cunning rather than lunacy. Although all the material facta in the case are un disputed, the trial will probably drag along for weeks, and will entirely turn upon the point as to whether the assassin was, or was not, crazy, at the time of the commission of the ...

The newspapers of Georgia arc calling upon the authorities to drive th i Mormon missionaries out of the State. It appears that 800 converts to Mormonism have been made in Georgia within two years, and some of them have returned to their old homes wiser and poorer men. Au. the CabiiieL officers, Willi the i-xccption of the new Secretary of the Treasury, arc preparing to vacate their positions immediately after the meeting of Congress. It is well understood in official circles that the personal relations of these gen tlemen with President Arthur are unimpaired. It is announced that the Rev. J. Hyatt Smith, the Independent Greenback er who was elected to Congress from Brooklyn, N. Y., and Brumm, the Pennsylvania Green backer, have both pledged them selves to enter the caucus of the Re publicans and act with that party. This gives the Republicans 150 votes, or a majority of 4. The exports of breadstuff have Materially fallen off daring the past year. During the ten months end ing October, 1880, the aggregate ex ports of barley, corn, cornmeal, oats, rye, wheat, and flour amounted to $235,177,S47. During the ten months just passed the exports were only 9292j552L Nearly all the falling off occurred in September and Octo ber, and it was no doubt largely dne to reports of short crops. The best day's political work tiincc the war, was the defeat of the Bourbons in Virginia, at the late election.

As the wording and the errors were the same there is no doubt of the article in one paper leing but the copy of the other, and as, according to the Record, "Mr. A. K. McClure hung on the outskirts of the conference, seeking whom ho might devour or fill with political wisdom," there is not much doubt but he was the in ventor of the article though not the writer. In the article the name of Congressman Jacob M. Campbell appeared as being present General Campbell was in the city at the time in attendance at the session of the Grand Lodge I. O. O. F. of Pa., but was not in attendance at this meet ing, was not given an invitation to be present, and knew nothing of such a meeting until it was over. Upon seeing his name in the Timet of Thursday morning in that con nection, he wrote the following to that paper, which note appeared in the issue of yesterday, with the heading " Congressman Campbell not an Independent" In your account of the proceedings of a meeting of Independent Republican held yesterday in I'arior C of the Continental Hotel I find my name among those in at tendance.

The Territory of Dakota is very large, embracing upward of 150,000 square miles. According to the census of ISSO, it j has a population of lJ5,ouu, the greater part of which is located in the southern section of the Territo ry. The proposition will probably be to measure off an area embracing about 45,000 square miles, and ad mit it as a State. The Democrats are already arraying themselves in opposition to this, chiefly on grounds of economy, of course, since it seems to be conceded that the population is overwhelmingly Republican, and the admission of Dakota under the circumstances would be likely to increase the number of Senators by two, and the Republican member ship of the House by one. This would also incrcase'the expenditures on government account somewhat, though without reference to the political complexion of the new State. We have said that the struggle over Dakota is likely to begin before the State stands knocking at the door of the Union. The Democrats will oppose the project, ostensibly because it trill increase expenses, and in some sort tend to decrease Congressional representation numer ically in the older States. It may be assumed that at present the case is purely one of political considera tion the Republicans desiring the admission because it promises to strengthen them in the National councils, and the Democrats there fore opposing it But this is the selfish aspect of the project It is not the only aspect, nor by any means the most important.

Having ruled so long and so firmly, the Bourbons are ap palled at the prospect of losing their power now revealed by the light of events in Virginia. Ia South Caro lina there is consternation over the i news, and there are muttenngs of revolt among the mora libera) mem bers of the Democratic party. The newspaper organ of the South Caro lina Democracy, in a moment of ex treme depression, has remarked that the Democrats coined wherever a free expression at the polls was pos sible, as if this were not possible all over a Democratic State.

There was a brutal priic fieht near thk place on Friday, in which Billy Lyitch. of this city, and Joe u iseil, cl andalia. were thc prin cipals. T'iiere were no stakes, but the fight was no less sanguinary on that account It was witnessed by a number of men who, judging from all accounts, enjoved it thoroughly. Both Lynch and O'Neil fought with desperation and each was badly punished. Round after round was fought and still the men came to time and the brutal contest pro ceeded. At last, in the twentieth round, O'Neil weakened and threw up the sponge, but not until he was nearly dead. The two men were taken from tha field in wagons. , Attempt to Blow l Betldefcpr. Pottsville, Pa, November 18. About three o'clock this morning an attempt was made by unknown parties to blow op the residence of Mr. Merkle, a prominent coal oper ator at Minexsville. A Lira can of. powaer was placed on one or the par lor windows and a fuse applied. The inmates though badly frighted es caped injury. " While being conveyed back to the jail Saturdav, Guitv-u was f fired at by a man on norseDacc, wno naa followed the prison van for some distance after it had left tho Court House. The ball grazed his left wrist, inflicting a slight scratch only. The horseman, though pursued im mediately after firing the shot, was not caught until late in the evening. He proves to be one "Bill" Jones, a resident of the District of Columbia, and a fanner. Among those who watched the transfer of the prisoner from tne Court House to the van was a man seated on a somewhat rusty sorrel horse. The animal was urged by his rider close to the van, and from his seat an excellent view of the as sassin as he hurried through the hooting mob could be obtained.' If the man on horseback was given a second glance by any one who saw him, it was only to confirm the idea that he was a : countryman, who, having transacted his business at market, wished to combine a little pleasure with his trip to Washington. He was a medium-sized man, about thirty-five vears of age, weighing, perhaps. 15 pounds.' A brown moustache adorned his somewhat sunburned face, and his hair, it is said, was of sand v hue. The am mal which he rode was poorly groomed and appeared to be possess ed of more patience than speed. When the van moved off this man rode along a short distance behind it Occasionally he would urge his animal alongside the van and then drop behind. The officers on the vehicle say his actions were observ ed by them, but they believed him to be a person having business in the direction of the jail, and who de sired to keep beside the van from motives of cunositv. The vehicle in which Guiteau was riding is of the ordinary "Blackma ria," description, to be seen in every large city. It is about ten feet by four in size, and four feet six inches in height The box is built of stout wood, lined with extra heavv sheet iron. The vehicle is painted brown and has small circular holes for ven tilation at the top and on each side and in front a narrow grating, through which the driver can see what is transpiring within. The van was drawn east along D street, New Jersey avenue to the Capitol grounds, thence in front of thc Cap itol through the main road leading to East Capitol street at its junction with First street East Here a mys terious horsemen urged his animal up along the left side of the van as if to pass it Guiteau was standing up in the front of the van with his hands upon the grating looking out through the bars. Suddenly the re port of a pistol was heard bv the offiiccr on the front seat ' Guiteau screamed in terrified tones "Oh, I am shot !" and fell to the floor of the van. i The horse attached to the vehicle pranced with fright, and of ficer Kdelin, drawing his - pistol, saw the horseman he had previous ly noticed in the act of re-cocking a smoking revolver. 1 he othcer drew his pistol and the rider, perceiving inc xnouon, wneeiea ms norse quiCK ly and started down First street in the direction of the Batimore and Ohio Railroad tracks. I Officer Edelin took as good aim at the horseman as possible and fir ed. The rider threw up one of his hands and in the Indian fashion leaned down over the side of his horse and galloped away. The van was wheeled around as quickly as possible and started in pursuit of thc flying man. He had nearly a block's start, but the horses attach ed to the van were fleeter than' the animal he bestrode, and his pursu ers slowlv trained on him. At the corner ofH street hwever, the rail road tracks cross the street and here the van had to be slowed to avoid a possible accident The rider gained a considerab e distance by this de lay, and as he turned west into K street thc pursuit was abandoned and the van was turned about and driven to the jail. No attempt to ascertain the result of Guiteau s in juries vas made. He could be seen by the officers crouching on the floor of the van and seemed to be unhurt The news of the attempt ed shooting reached police head' quarters long before the van reached the jail, and information was tele phoned Warden Crocker. He sum mone.l Dr. Williams, the jail physi cian, who- was in attendance when Guiteau arrived. He took off his coat the left , sleeve of which was cut in two places by the ball, His shirt which was not injured was removed and : the sleeve of bis undershirt slit with a penknife over the spot where he averred he had been hit Examination disclosed a slight abrasion of thc skin about the size of a one cent piece , where the bullet had touched the arm in its passage. No blood came from the wound and the assassin was given a piece of ice to hold - upon the bruise to reduce a slight swelling. Thc news of the shooting spread through the city with great rapidity. Mr. Scoville, Mrs. Scoville and - J. Wilson . Guiteau, the . assassin's brother, were driven rapidly to the jail and were quickly convinced that no barm had pome to their rel ative. '-. ' . , Wasuixcto.v, Nov. 1D,1&S1. I have this hour returned from the Guiteau trial, and will give you my impressions while they are fresh. The conrt room was so densely crowded t!i t i r-.tuld not at first see the prisui.n, Uut pressing within the bar, 1 rtcurcd a seat from which I had an excellent view. As 1 took my seat I heard a sharp distinct voice say: "I want the Court to know I do not come here on my hands and knees as a crimi nal, but as a representative of Dei ty !" Looking in the direction ot tho voice, I saw a pale, thin, excited, gesticulating man : it was Guiteau. Soon the door of the witness room was opened, and all eves were fixed on the well known form of Jnes G.Blaine. He was conducted W a seat within the bar. Ool. Corkhill now arose to open thc case for the proseeution. If the reader has seen a verbatim report, I presume he has felt regret and shame that tho United States, in so important a case, a case in which the words of counsel will be read in every cinliz ed tongue, should nave been so in competently and weakly represent ed, lhe address was a verbose, rambling, irrelevant harangue about thc hue war, the assasination of Lincoln, our form of Government, and it abounded in sophomorical flight and hackneyed platitudes all calculated to confuse the jury as to their duty, and to mystify them as to the criminality of the criminal Considering thc cause and thc occa sion, so much verbal inexactitude has seldom been crowded into so brief a time. When the counsel sat down, I thought a sigh of relief can.e from a disgusted court and bar. I have no personal ill-feeling toward Col, Corkhill, but if something is not done to rebuff the intrusion of such low grade mediocrity into responsi ble positions in this country, the public legal service will be in dan ger of inanity. Owing to his social standing and connexion here, the city press Epeaks flatteringly of bis failure, but the press outside of Washington is free from social em barrassment and candor to serve God and man bv telling the truth. I can now see why the Government would not entrust the Mar Koute cases to him, but I cannot under stand how a sane Government ever entrusted him with anything. Mr. Blame was now called to the witness stand. The clerk was pro ceeding to administer the oath with thc Bible, but Mr. Blaine whispered his preference for the other way, and was sworn with his right hand elevated and without kissing the book. A chair was offered him, but ho preferred to testify standing. He detailed thc incidents of the morning, the hour, and the mo menta preceding and following the assassination. But little was added to the tragic history with which the public is familiar, but it was ex ceedingly interesting to hear the story from the distinguished wit ness. After Mr. Blaine had conclu ded his testimony direct Mr. Sco ville, the brotber-in-law and counsel for Guiteau, arose to cross-examine him. With arms folded across his chest and with perfect poise and composure, but not without defer ence to the witness, he questioned Mr. Blaine with great skill and di rectness. His object was to elicit from a distinguised authority a his tory of thc cause and effect of the bitter dissensions within the Repub lican party at the time of the assassi nation, and to impress the jury with the idea that those dissensions were calculated to throw ' unsound and looselv pivoted minds off their bal-i ance, thus shiftin Guiteau'a offence to this supposed ulterior cause. Mr. Blaine answer ed the questions relative to politics within his party with apparent re luctance, and with much adroitness and wit. When the cross-examina tion was over' Mr. Blaine bowing to thc Judge and shaking hands with thc clerk who had administered the oath, left the room. - I believe that Guiteau is insane, but not to ne degree of irresponsi bility for murder, and my opinion has not been formed from what I have seen, more than from his asser tion that he was a lawyer, a politi cian and a theologian. The vanity of those three professions is too Thcfta of Btampa. A subject of the greatest import ance to the business communitv has just been brought to . tie attention of the Postal Department by the Philadelphia Mara time Exchange. It is an admitted fact that many corporations and firms which have an extensive correspondence lose annually many thousands of dollars through thc theft of postage stamps by their employees. ears ago this system of petty speculation was so extensively practised in Lon don, that a gang .of thieves did a thriving business In' purchasing the stolen stamps at a discount of 50 percent and reselling hem at the suburban post offices for a full value. As a general rule in consequence of tne impossibility of identifying the stolen property, detection was out of the question. At the earnest so licitation of many prominent peo ple the then Postmaster General gave tho subject his attention, and finally one of the subordinates hit upon a plan which has proved ef fectual in breaking up the game of plunder. This was to perforate the stamps with the initials of the cor poration or firm by whom they were to be put in use. At the present time, when a firm or corporation in Great Britain orders stamps to the value of 1400 or $500, or more, the postal authorities, either without additional cost or at mere nominal charge, according to tho quantity ordered, perforates each stamp. By these means tho stamps are identified with the purchaser, and are difficult to dispose of dishonest ly, although at the same time the partial mutilation does not in any way interfere with the legitimate sale of the stamps in case the origi nal buyer, for any reason such as going out of business is desirous of disposing of them to any other reputable concern. Thc Maritime Exchange is desirous that this sys tem should be introduced on this side of the water, and has according- ly addressed thc department to that end. Several members of the insti tution, in order to give a practical indorsement to the proposition. have intimated their willingness to order stamps to the value of 500, provided tho Government will per forate the stamps with such initials as may be indicated. "We believe," say the officers of the Exchange in an ofhcial communication, "that thc adoption of some such plan would result in important saving to parties who are large users of stamps, and that they would gladly avail them selves ot tne opportunity thus pre sented to protect themselves against a small peculation from underlings, which have, in many instances, been traced as the beginning of much larger thefts." Postmaster Huidepoper has addressed a letter to Postmaster General James ap proving the suggestion and recom mending that it be complied with.

Captain Frits sent his second mate and three men to the rescue, and in doing so the boat was swamped and all were drowned.

S: A Fiht Abo a Woman. Menehoxee, Wis., Nov. IS. Ed. Maxwell, alias Williams, one of the notorious outlaws who murdered Sheriff Coleman,' has been brought here and safely lodged in iaiL There was no attempt at violence. He talk3 freely and ' acknowledges the murder, but sayg it was done in self-defense. ' Lou Williams' (his brother) and himself were in the Eau Galle woods about : five days. Sever? 1 times . the pursuing party were very close to them. II is story, is that immediately af ter the shooting they crossed 1 the Chippewa river in a skiff found on the bank, using a shingle and fence board for paddles. , Both were wounded Ed. in the right hand, arm, and shoulder, and Ixra in the arm, breast and face. . Ixni was crazy with pain, and twice while crossing the river lie.v a knife on Ed." After crossing they pursued a westerly course, traveling at night and hid ing by day. : They were eighty-five hours without food. When famish ing they killed a steer, but they had gone without food so long they had do appetite. ' They had no help whatever in their flight being afraid to trust ' anyone with the secret of their identity. Ed had nothing tg say regarding tha probability' of his capture, but says significantly, be. js a good shot Mrs. Mary McVicker Booth, wife of Edwin Booth, died at her parents' residence in New York at 5 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. She had been a suflerer from consumption of the throat and luncs for a year, hav ing contracted ho disease while in England m 1S.1JL Her condition was not considered alarming until within a few week past, when her strength rapidly f. l!ed. For two days previous to death she lay in a state of coma and expired without recovering conscious?. Mrs. Booth was the step-daughter of Mr. 11. JHc ickcr, the owner of 31c- Yicker s Ineatre, Chicago, and was at one time leading lady for Mr. Booth. For ten years past she has not appeared on the stage. During his wifo'ii illnpss Mr. Rnotri Tnrps- the odium ofed a tender regard for her welfare, and the many tokens of love and kindness which he bestowed were the more noticeable to his friends by reason of the estrangement which had existed between them since their visit to England. It wa.1 on account of his wife's health that Mr. Booth declined to play for a second season in London, she not being able to en dure that climate. Mr. and Mrs. McVicker gave up their Chicago re sidence and took house in New York that they might be with Mrs. Booth while she was under medical care. Mr. Booth was called to New York yesterday morning, and will be obliged to cancel his engagement in Philadelphia for the present week. The Lyceum will be closed this eve ning, but the-remainder of the week the supporting company will pro duce pieces especially prepared for them, none . of which are in Mr. Booth's repertoire. Next week the company goes to Baltimore, and it is expected that the tragedian will keep his engagements in that city. .... a a 1 t . I vations be lndividuanzea ana inor-1 oughly protected by by laws, and that the more civilized reservation Indians be encouraged to abandon their tribal relations by setting up experimental forms of local govern ment among them as nearly alike as may lie to the system of county government prevailing in the States and Triritories in which the reser vatiw arc respectively located. The Secretary states that there are now in the States and teritories west of the Mississippi river 102 reserva tions, great and small, on which are located in round numbers 2:24,1 1"' Indians. The numbers on the d li ferent reservations vary from a few hundreds to several thousands. There are attached to these reserva tions sixtv-eieht agencies, each with its btaff of employes. There arealso established near them, for tho pro tection alike of the whites and In dians, thirty-seven military posts, with largeror smaller garrisons. The transportation of supplies to s-o many and so widely scattered agen cies and military posts is very ex pensive, and our army so small, that tho garrisons at many of the poets are not sufficient either to pre vent or suppress outbreaks prompt ly when they occur. On the question of these reserva tions the Secretary says : 'Jn view of the facts stated as to existing re servations, I recommend that Con gress be asked to create a commis sion of three or four eminent citizens to visit during the next year tU- re servations west of the Mississippi river for the purpose of recommend ing to Congress, if they shall detm it wise to do so, the concentration of the Indians on four or five large re servations, to be selected in different parts of the West, on which the dif ferent tribes shall be located, and if this shall, in the judgment of thc commission, not be wise, then to re commend the concentration of exist ing small agencies where that can be properly done, and the reduction of thc area of others to dimensions pro portionate to thc number of Indians now located thereon." were parleying at the door with tho family anl aemanuing aarauuinte, they heard the sound of clapboards being removed from thc roof. Pres ently Martin's head popped through the "roof; but he ctught sight of ten guns pointed at his direction, and he disappeared. Parleying at the door was again resumed, ind at last Martin resionded to the demands and declared he would surrender at daylight. It was then after 12 o'clock, and Mr. Goodall suspected that with daylight would coaie as fistunuc. A "general tight trould not le permitted, so he notified the Kt- j tie party within that if they were acting in good laith they must sur render immediately. After consul tation they agreed to yield, and young Martin threw open the doors and stepped out into the moonlight. In a twinkling he was handcuffed and shackled br the Sheriff.

A Fortune at a Haul. C. A. S. An A)lum Fire. Tha Three Uaka. Philadelphia, November 15. The semi-annual session of the grand lodge of I. O. O. F. of Phila delphia, was here to-day. Grand Master Kobert E. Wright jr., of Al- lentown, occupied 'the chair. -A lengthy report of tho decisions and actions of the grand master during the past few months was read, and after having been referred to a com mittee the decisions were approved. A communichtion from the bi-cen- Chicf-of-Police Heisei this morn ing received a telegram from Jesse Baldwin, of Boardman township, five miles south of Youngstown, O., notifying him that his house had been robbed at three o'clock this morning of between 830,000 and 40 000 in gold, and offering a reward of $1,000 for the arrest of the rob bers. Baldwin is a crank who re cently created a sensation by ap pearing at the Treasury Department at Washington, D. C, and demand ing gold for 117,000 worth of Gov ernment bonds. He kept his money in an old-fashioned safe under the stairs in the hallway of his residence. The nartv of burglars were five in number. Four of them gained ad mittance. The Baldwin family slept np-stairs, and the first intimation they had of the burglary was the fu rious noise made by blowing open the safe with powder. George Ijewis, Baldwin s son-in-law, fired three shots at the burglars as they left the house with lhe bags of gold in their arms. The burglais return ed a volley.' No one on either side was injured. Thc robbers had pre viously tiken two ot Baldwin's hors es and best carriage and had them standing near the residence. They jumped into the carriage and es caped, going south. The carriage, it has been learned, broke down about four miles south of Baldwin's home. It is believed, that Baldwin was robbed by the gang of professionals that is working the section composed of Western Pennsylvania and East ern Ohio, and from some point in which a safe blowing operation is reported nearly every day. A simi lar robbery was perpetrated at Erie a night or two ago, and there, as at Baldwin's, the thieves drove off the horses and carriage of the man they plundered.. : The reward is ample to induce the detectives to start upon the trail of the burglars, but no ofli- cial action will be taken at police headquarters here in Pittsburg, gincc Chief Heisei holds that the detec tives are paid for protecting the city, and cannot be sent away from their post of duty. Beams'.;, Nov. IS. This mornin Katie Hampele, not quite twelv years of ase. met with quite a pain ful accident at Jackson's rope walk where she had been employed only a few days, she was feeding a ma chine, when her dress canght in an endless chain, and all her skirts were pulled off and torn into shreds. Her screams attracted the attention of another girl, Katie Bauman, em ployed in the same department, who quickly stopped the machinery, and saved the life of the unfortunate cirl. On this endle3 chain were hundreds of Ions needles, which tore hr garments and punctured her riht side and right leg down to the knee, ienetratir.g to the bone, causing excrntiating pain and a se vere shock to her system. It is said that the girl was wound up in the machinery and that it is a wonder that thc muscles of the side and leg were not torn olf and the bones of her less broken. Both legs were caught, but she succeeded in jerking one out of the machinery. The lieallet IltMly of a t'ono-1 In Chicago. Woman A Con t let's Escape From Jail. Syracuse, N. Ym Nov. IS.
