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

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,

Sixce the election, the two Rcad
juster Congressmen from Virginia
have announced their determination
to act with the Republicans, and
participate in their caucuses. This
will give the Republicans 148 votes,
or two more thau a majority in the
House.
Mr. MacYeaoh has at hist forced
himself out of the Cabinet His
apparent anxiety to get out was
greater than that of most men to get
in. When history is written, it will
not have much to show for his eight
months' administration oi the office
of Attorney General..
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. They are weighed down

Tnr Johnstown Tribune . says :
"The Philadelphia Timet and Pitts
burgh Dinpatch published simultan
eously on Thursday morning what
purported to be the proceedings of a
meeting of some twenty-five persons
at the Continental Hotel, Philadel
phia, on Wednesday afternoon. 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. This if a mistake; I m not
present at the meeting.
Very iwpectfully,

The buttle over the admission of
Dakota as a State is destined to be
fought in advance. 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. Ar?

The Cincinnati Commercial having
intimated that if President Arthur
does not throw Grant overboard
James G. Blaine will be the next
President of the United States, the
Cincinnati Gazette says in reply:

does not eschew Stalwartism and

Thc anti-Bourbon victory in Vir
ginia has created something like a
panic in more than one of the ex
slave States. 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

over a Democratic State. The Ar

There was a brutal priic fieht
near thk place on Friday, in which
Billy Lyitch. of this city, and Joe

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

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.

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,

with pain, and twice while crossing
the river lie.v a knife on Ed." After
crossing they pursued a westerly

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.

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."

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

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.
