The Guiteau Triad.— On the 21st inst, Mr. 
Robinson, the associate counsel for Guiteau, 
withdrew from the case. O wing to the “ un¬ 
pleasantness ” existing between Mr. Scoville 
and Robinson, the latter thought it necessary 
for one or the other of them to leave the case, 
and as the relations which Scoville sustained 
to Guiteau were intimate and as he was indis- 
pensible to the defence, Mr. Robinson thought 
it were better to withdraw. Judge Cox gave 
him an honorable discharge. After the exam¬ 
ination of Surgeons Barnes, Woodward and 
Lamb the prosecution rested their case. On 
the opening of the defence Guiteau made a 
short speech in his own behalf, and Mr. Sco¬ 
ville addressed the jury in a plain, matter-of- 
fact style and the court adjourned for the 
day. Tuesday the counsel for the defence con¬ 
tinued his case, and endeavored to show to 
the jury that Guiteau had done much in the 
past that denoted a derangement of the mind. 
The instance of his attempt to kill his sister 
was among the citations. Mr. Scoville was 
frequently interrupted by the prisoner. The 
examination of witnesses for the defence took 
up the bulance of the week, several experts in 
insanity having been summoned to testify, 
besides those who have been acquainted with 
him in various places. On Saturday Mrs. 
Scoville, (sister of the prisoner and wife of 
Mr. Scoville, Guitoau’s counsel,) was put 
on the witness stand, and her testimony will 
be continued to-day, To-morrow Guiteau 
will take the witness stand. 
On the 25th ult., the Grand Jury returned 
an indictment for assault with intent to kill 
against Jones, who shot at Guiteau in the 
prison van. The extreme penalty that can be 
inflicted upon Jones providing his guilt is 
proven, is imprisonment for eight years. 
The Exposition at Atlanta on the 24th had 
its biggest day since the opening; 19,380 per¬ 
sons were registered at the turnstiles, among 
whom were over eight thousand college stu¬ 
dents aud pupils of seminaries. Intense in¬ 
terest pervades the South as to the convention 
of planters, agriculturists and mill men that 
will meet December G. All these great inter¬ 
ests will be represented by thousands of per¬ 
sons, and the outcome is expected to be of vast 
benefit to every Southern industry. Thirteen 
thousand strangers are comfortably housed in 
Atlanta, with room for 10,000 more. 
The pension rolls for the month of Decem¬ 
ber amount to very near $8,000,000, and this 
bonanza is increasing in width and length, 
and depth too. 
Preaching in first-class churches in New 
York pays almost as well as banking or the 
law. Rev, Dr. Dix, rector of Trinity, gets 
$12,000 a year and a house worth $4,000 a 
year, and Dr. Morgan gets $8,000 a year and 
a handsome house. 
The postmaster general has decided that 
printed matter is not personal correspondence 
and may be enclosed with merchandise and 
mailed at the latter rates. Postal cardB 
planted and directed to publishers may be sent 
as second-class matter. 
At a special election in the First Congress¬ 
ional District in Rhode Island, Mr. H. J. 
Spooner was elected by 1787 majority to fill 
the vacancy caused by Mr. Aldrich’s promo¬ 
tion to the Senate. 
Gov. Cornell of New York has appointed 
Judge Charles Andrews of the Court of Ap¬ 
peals chief judge of that court to succeed 
Judge Folger, and Charles L. Benedict of 
Brooklyn to succeed Judge Andrews. 
The Irish National Land League of America 
sent to Ireland the last quarter $127,835. 
Insurance Commissioner Brooks of Con¬ 
necticut has ordered the winding up of the 
Atlas Fire Insurance Company of Hartford. 
Its capital is only $100,000, and for several 
years it has been doing very little new busi¬ 
ness. With this small company retired there 
will be no stock fire insurance companies in 
Hartford with less than $1,000,000 capital 
each. The action of the Insurance Commis¬ 
sioner is in accord with a vote of the board of 
directors. The risks of the Atlas will be re¬ 
insured and the only loss falls on the stock¬ 
holders. 
The employees of the Executive Mansion 
expect the President will move into the White 
House Tuesday next. It is understood that 
the President will appoint F. J. Phillips pri¬ 
vate secretary as soon as Mr. Brown retires. 
Phillips has been the President’s private secre¬ 
tary for a number of years. The President 
has appointed J. Samuel Frazier, of Ohio, in¬ 
terpreter to the legation in Japan.

An interesting ceremony took place at the 
grounds of the Hebrew Hospital, at Baltimore, 
Md., on the 24th ult., consisting of the plant¬ 
ing of a tree as a memorial to the late Presi¬ 
dent and to be known as the “Garfield Me¬ 
morial Tree. ” The contributions to the me¬ 
morial were all made by prominent Hebrews. 
It is said that Mr. McCormick, the reaper 
manufacturer of Chicago, aud Mr. William 
N. Whitley, the reaper manufacturer of 
Springfield, Ohio, have formed a partnership, 
combining the improvements of each machine. 
It is reported that McCormick’s capital is 
over $10,000,000 and Whitley’s over $1,000,000, 
The firm will hold a monopoly in all the world 
in the reaper business. 
In New York there are about 500 venders of 
sawdust, having a capita] of $200,000invested,

annually. 
Director Burchard announces that the 
United States Mint, at Philadelphia, coined 
$50,000,000 in gold during the last 12 mouths, 
or five times as much as during any previous 
year. Much of this was foreign gold re¬ 
coined, 
An iniquitous speculation has been un¬ 
earthed by the trustees of the Hancock Coun¬ 
ty Infirmary, at F’indlay, Ohio. Several 
prominent men of that city have been secur¬ 
ing insurance on the lives of paupers for the 
benefit of themselves. One old man was in¬ 
duced to sign the application by the state¬ 
ment that it was a call for a political caucus. 
The life of another very feeble pauper is in¬ 
sured for $75,000. 
Maxwell, alias Williams, was lynched at 
Durand, Wis., Saturday. He had confessed

the aisle into the court house yard. Death, 
however, ensued from strangulation before 
a tree was reached. 
A Pittsburgh glass manufacturer proposes 
to erect buildings of glass, manufacturing the

AGRICULTURAL NEWS. 
Monday, Nov. 28, 1881, 
The following items of agricultural news 
have been condensed from telegrams received 
in this city between Friday noon, Nov. 25, 
and noon to-day: Portland, Me.: Produce 
market less active; prices off, especially for 
potatoes. Hay has advanced chiefly on ac¬ 
count of bad roads. The prospect is that 50 
per cent, more timber will be cut iu this State 
than for several previous years...Boston, 
Mass.: Flour market still dull. Provisions 
fair; prices firm.Buffalo, N. Y.: 
Wheat dull; $1.52 asked for No. 1 Hard 
Duluth; red and amber Winter wheat, $l,3s@ 
1.40; corn. No. 2 mixed, G5%e.; oats quiet; No. 
2 mixed western, 49/ 'c. ; barley steady; Can¬ 
ada, 95c.@$1.15; six-rowed State, 80c.@$1.10.. 
Cincinnati, O.—Receipts of bread-stuffs are 
light, and prices are downward. No. 2 Red 
Winter Wheat, $1.80@$1.37%. Com strong. 
No. 2 mixed 47%, Receipts of hogs good, 
prices firmer. .Dayton O.—Very cold 
and raw; first snow storm of the season last 
Wednesday. Among hog owners there’s a 
tendency to hold the hogs back for colder 
weather; but with com at 55 cents per bushel 
there’s not much ground for speculation when 
the'owuer can get G%@7c for his stock. First- 
class cattle in demand; but the sheep market 
is decidedly dull... 
Philadelphia, Pa.: No change here in wool 
market. It is said a great deal of wool is held 
in Boston, on which the banks have made ad¬ 
vances, and should the late bonk defalcations 
there, cause these loans to be culled in, a large 
quantity of wool will have to be thrown on 
the market, which will cause a break in prices. 
Holders here, however, are firm, and so is 
the general tone of the market. Trade in 
flour and grain not active; prices about the 
same as lust week. The. supply of plump, 
heavy hides is not equal to the demand and 
prices are very firm. Green salted stock, too, 
sells freely at good figures.Indianapo¬ 
lis, Ind.: Country roads in very bad condition. 
Weather cold. Wheat has declined but the 
prices of other staples are fairly maintained. 
.Evansville, Ind.: Grain is beginning 
to move; com is coming in briskly at 63@65c. 
for car-load lots; wheat quiet.Chicago, 
Ill.: A good speculative business in grain tut 
hardly anything done on shippiug account. 
Receipts for the week, 55,000 barrels flour; 
190,097 bushels wheat; 632,851 bushels oats. 
Shipments were 97,593 ban-els Hour; 213,405 
bushels wheat; 955,627 bushels corn: 120,783 
bushels oats. A much larger movement of 
money towards the country.Detroit, 
Mich.: Large speculative transactions in wheat 
daily. Market unsettled and sensitive. 
Milwaukee, Wis.: Inclement weather and 
very bad roads hindering work and business 
in country places. Recent cold not severe 
enough to harden the roans so as to allow- the 
marketing of produce. The wheat market has 
been unusually dull and weak; receipts and 
shipments both meagre. Millei’sare idle.... 
....Louisville, Ky.: Leaf tobacco still firm. 
Grain dull and easy. 'Weather clear and cold; 
pork packing consequently active. Hogs 
scarce, bringing $G@G.60—or about one-third 
ahove last year’s prices. An increasing de¬ 
mand for currency from the country owing 
to pork-packing operations.St. Louis, 
Mo.: Grain and flour still weak. Provisions 
declining. Hogs in demand and firm at $0.(50; 
but they are of low- quality. The river is fall¬ 
ing, and trains have resumed their free move¬ 
ment of produce.Kansas City, Mo.: 
Cattle receipts for week only moderate, owing 
to falling off iu Colorado and Texas shipments. 
Market quiet. Receipts of hogs the heaviest 
of the season—one day’s receipts the largest 
ever known here. Market well sustained. 
Bulk of sales at $5.35@G. 
Omaha, Neb.—Weather for the week coldand 
clear. Roads frozen in a rough state, and 
travel therefore difficult. Coal reported very 
scarce throughout the State. Winter supply 
not yet received.San Francisco, Cal.— 
Provisions lower thau last week. Wheat 
weak; barley and oats "higher.Balti¬ 
more, Md.—Canned goods in demand; prices 
have an upward tendency. Can makers on a 
strike for 30c per 100—an increase of 5c, Cot¬ 
ton receipts heavy. During the week prices 
have advanced %c@%c; but the market now 
is easy. Brokers and commission men think 
prices will continue upward. Southern wheat 
dull; astern, heavy with a downward ten¬ 
dency. Cora market inactive; prices lower. 
Jobbing trade in provisions brisk with firm 
prices. There’s an active inquiry for grain 
vessels since the decline in grain. 
Wilmington, N. C.-. Cotton firm; picking re¬ 
tarded by scarcity of laborers. Provision* 
steady. Grain lower. Rice fair. Peanuts 
steady. Weather cold.Charleston, S. 
C.: Cotton receipts very heav 3 T during the 
week; a good tone to the market.Sa¬ 
vannah, Ga.: The decline in the cotton mar¬ 
ket at New York and Liverpool caused a de¬ 
pression here; but factors think this only a 
temporary lull, as the scarcity of cotton must 
stiffen prices. The shortness of the crop is 
more felt in business circles than w-as expect¬ 
ed.Augusta, Ga.: The cry of short crops 
and hard times has produced a general feeling 
of distrust among the merchants. All cotton 
manufactories here are paying regular divi¬ 
dends of 8(if 12 per cent. The stock of some of 
them is $70@$75 ahove par. Nearly all the 
$1,000,000 capital of the King Cotton Factory 
has been subscribed, and the building of the 
factory is now almost a certainty. Cotton 
picking about over for the season... 
New Orleans, La.; Cotton quiet at a slight 
decline. Sugar and molasses receipts in¬ 
creasing but prices show a downward tendency 
on account of the inferior quality. Weather 
cold and favorable for sugar making. 
The Texas sheep raisers have experienced 
great difficulty in shearing, on account of 
heavy and continued rain storms. Whole 
flocks are ranging about in a half-sheared 
condition. 
.Memphis, Tenn. : Cotton receipts 
larger than last week ; prices better. Factors 
and .jobbers are collecting closely and credit¬ 
ing prudently. This bespeaks better results 
for next year.Nashville, Tenn.: Re¬ 
ceipts and sales of cattle very active : good 
grades are high. Provisions for the week 
quiet. Little or no change in grain, flour or 
produce markets from last week. Packers 
are killing largely,
