I THE COURIER-JOURNAL: LOUISVILLE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1881. 5 THE RAILROADS. The New Time Tebles Giving General Dissatisfaction. Louisville Placed at a Disadvantage to Cincinnati in Central Kentucky, An Increase in the Inland Cotton Movement for September and October, OTHER ITEMS CF INTEREST, EASTERN rates are still unsettled, but there is a hardening tendency. REDUCED passenger rates are already increasing travel on Soutbero roads.

THE number of miles of road constructed this year 1s 6,008, against 4,946 last seat. AT the shops of the Baldwin locomotive-works in Philadelphia 555 locomotives I will be built this Sear. 1 bey are intended for roads in this conutry and in Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, Peru and Chile. There are Dearly three thousand men employed in the works. A that branch is to be established at Allegbany City a ta denied at the office of the company.

FACILITIES. The change in the running schedule of the Louisville, Cincinnati and Lexington has demoralized the mail service, and loud compiaints are coming to the office of the CouRIER-JOURNAL from the Bluegrass country and the business then of Louisville. The Biow morning train to Lexington falle to make connection there either with the Cincianati Southern or the Kentucky Central, consequently mail from Louisrtile out does not reach Nicholasviile in one direction or Winchester in another until late to the erena or after dark. This virtually is cutting our communications with those regions and turalug the tide of business and travel into Cincinnati. Mail from Cincinnati reaches Lexington ahead of mail from Louisville, and it reaches say Nicola and Winchester some six bours carlier.

The extension of the Shelby rille road to Bloom deid has also resulted in very ADDOSing delays and permanent deprivation. Letters mailed to Shelbyville Tuesday morning are received at the Louterlie post-office at 2 p'elock Wednesday morning instead of at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening as beretofore. Taus 16 takes two entire days to write to Shelbyville and get a reply. It is erident," therefore, that the new schedule does not realize the anticipation of Mr. Rowland regard whatever.

Instead of increasing our business facilities it decreases them in every direction, and puts Louisvule at 6 disadrantage in the richest portion of Kroiucky, the trade of which sho has controlled to a great extent. These facts ere referred to the railroad autborities with the hope and expectation that speedy measures of relief will be adopted. THE COTTON MOVEMENT. The ca cotton movement firet two months of the crop- (September and 0c- tober) is reported by the Commercial and nancial Chronicle 48 follows: The total quantity shipped to the seaboard or to manufactories bas been 1,419,941 bales this year, against 1,5: 4,004 last, decrease of 134.123 bales, or 8.5 per cent. The average weight of bales were also littie lighter this year.

The Dost notable feature in the movement this Jear is Increase in what is called the overland movement--the bipments direct by rail to tue Northern factories or ports north of the Potomac. These were 200.398 bales this year, against 149.796 last. ebowing an increase of 51,507 bales, or 343. per cent. This incindes the shipments by way of St.

Louis and those that cross the Ohio st Cairo, Louisville, Ciocinnati, etc. The St. Louis shipments Were much less in 1880 than in 1879, when the gellow fever at Memphis increased them; ba: this fear they showed only a small increase over las: year (from 39.026 to 62,158 bales, or seven per but there is a large increase st Catro (150 per and also at Louisville (sixty per cent.) and at Cincinnati (100 per This overland movement, necessitating long rail hauls, was per cent. of the total ebipped this year, against per cent. last year.

GRAIN AND ITS OUTLETS. The Ralitoad Gazette says: indication are that an unusualiy large proportion of the surpius grain was marketed this vear before October, but it 1s probable also that the consideraole decline in prices since september has somewhat discouraged shipmenus from the farms. bowerer, much less to ship than last Fear, and on the whole the movement of the cointag winter will probably be much lighter than for two or three winters part. Muco bas been said of the large wrocks on hand at the Westers markets, but the total at the end os October was less than 20,000,000 bushels, and not 5,000,000 bushels more than last year. which excess would give not more than a lair lake and rat! saipments, 40d two good weeks of rail shipments.

Toe stock on hand, too, 1s less Dow fban at this time in 1879. It the receipts were as large as usual, this stock would probabiy increase betore navigation closes, because the lake rearels are taking very iltde grain, and many of them are likely to be laid up for the winter betore the straits close; but for some weeks past she shipments from Chicago aud waukce. though small, were jet larger than the recelpta. the ten months ending with October the percentage of the total received at each port for six successive Fears has been: New York Boston.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16 -The bark Law Wood, which arrived to-dar, reports: 4-October 20, latitude 10', longitude 80', sighted the bark Bendor, sinking. with spars sud sails gone and boats store in, and the sea making a clean Teak over ber. Toe second mate of the Law Wood, George W. James, and tour meu volunteered to rescao the crew of the sinking bark.

They went off a boat, and, as they neared the wreck, 1 heavy squail shat from view both boat aud wreck.

Smith MidBlings Purifier Company, by which law-suite brought by the latter against the most promiment millers of the country for alleged infringements of what is known as the "CockFaDe patent" bas been settled. One of the Lest suits was won by the millers before the Dalted States Circuit Court here, and are DOW docketed in the Supreme Court of the Volted States, where they would bare come up trial next spring. Compromise efforts have long been pending to settle these law-sulta, end yesterday culminated successfully. A stib-Execative Committee of the National Millers': Association met Mr. C.

B. Knickerbocker, of Jackson, representing the Middlings Puriter Company, and after a lengthy discussion compromise was effected by the National Millers' Association paging the company 000. The suits which the Purifier company brought against millers in the county aggregated $36,000,000. compromise puts an Tats" end to the trouble 80 far as members of the National Millers' Association are concerned, but those outside of the association will still have to fight the matter so the courts. In addition to the compromise with the Consolidated Middlings Purifiers Company, the subExecutive Committee discussed the trouble growing out of the Danchfield patent.

The owners of the patent are to be invited to meet the committee for conference. The owners bave some large suite on band against millers, and hare already received some judgments.

Nearly all the asperities which bare divided the people have passed away. After the reception given to Gen.

Sherman Atlanta yesterday, surely the De Locrata and Kepublicans Cincinnati should have no cause of quarrel; he knew no political issue in Ohio worthy of the name; the tariff used to be a cause of difference, but when D.

Continbe spoke of legislation 10 the interest of the business community, alluding to law 10 assist the est creditor in pursuing debtor, and a law for the direction oi commerce between States, which de said should be framed with a view to the interest of business men.

Reddeld telegraphs: Mr. Brown, the President's private secretary, who bears from Mrs. Garfleld at least once a week, reports that she is now very comfortably located to her Cleveland bome, adjoining the house of Mr. James Mason, her' cousin, and with whose family she bas always been very intimate. Sbe will probably retain in Cleveland until May, and then go down to Mentor for the summer.

Mr. Brown thinks that next winter Mire. Garfield will probably come to Washington. In the White House. Preeident Arthur drove rapidly up the avenue this siternoon and entered the grounds of the Executive Mansion.

The house 18 filled with workwen, and everything within the building is in the greatest sort of confusion. Carpets are up all over the bouse, and the plumbers in many places have taken up the. floors as well. Plumbing is giving altogether the greatest amount of trouble, and some of the work has been done over as many three times. The elevator which wes oidered for the convenience of Mother Garfield being completed 85 rapidly 88 possible, bat some time must necessarily elapse before all the work is completed.

President says: And the work is going OD very slowly, and I 00 unable to tell whep I will be able to get into the house. I am anxious to get settled betore Congress meets, but I think from what I see to-dar that it will be extremely doubtful whether the house will be ready for occupancy before that time. I certainly can come hero within three weeks."

A wild, ferce man.

with a. certain bravery of character, such as Booth, might excite the auimal interest by his wildness; but this dastard. who killed without offense, and for DO purpose beyond the thirst for Dotoriety, merited neither curiosity nor rage. detected him in an instant after 1 entered the room. though he sat among mans otber people in the eame kind of a chair, and without any railing, officers or auyibingto hedge him in.

I observed a sort of stubbed bead of hair, such as is seeu in the criminal pictures of England, with bair rather bristly. set low toward tho front, and rather fat pack in the corners, uncleanly-looking hair--boorish. U'nder this hair was nasty ekin, a little like corpse, wita some reddishness overspreading its generally yellowish dampness. The tace was rather long and pear -baped. Around the chin was a con-iderable quantity of brownish beard, yet without any warmth in its sandy hair.

The hair, the ekin and the beard all seemed to be dusty and as though out of some sard. The perspiration of this man appeared to be at fault. There was nothing woeful 10 his face, though it was wolfsb. In the iniddie of his forebead was a deep, varying wrinkle, the principal sign to me of probably decaying mental faculties. It is generally said that a depression between the eyes bows memory well gone.

lu this case it was a deep depression, with a sort of wrinkle attachmeut to it, waich was agitated right and left, like his fitting eyes, which bad a sharpness about them, but not much rest, except at the trues when something occurred to excite his ity. It you were to meet this man, small as be looks to be in the' body, in a lane somewhere, or in the woods, you would go past very quickly, and migbt wonder as you passed him whether he was little crazy or very wicked. As a friend described him to me. be one of those me who always wanted to do something that was Dot the thing to be done, I judge that he beiongs in the number of that large tribe of ill-balanced Americans who think that to publish a book of any kind is a lofty pursuit, even if nobody reads the book but the autbor, wblie to be on a salary of a newspaper, and serve one's day and generation, is ratter beneath buman intelligence. I looked st this man again and again, bat Dever with Auy increasing interest, merely wondering how to set before in mind and the public little of the woodering which was in his countonance.

By this I do not mean more than that something seemed to drive tho man on and on, from point to point, from thougbt to thought. and lot bim rest Dow Dere, as 1t a voice was always crying out, "Move whenever be baited. If 5ou Were to take your eye off him a few minutes. and would bring it back, be seems to have LODE hundred miles since you looked at him before. That rapid, pervons bead bad drawn him through great periods af space and of agitating suggestions.

He could not any more pause than a mad dog, ever wanting to drink. ever frightened at the pool, ever snapping, ever dasbing on. 1 asked inyself the question, if be was crazv, and it looked to 10e very probable. The observation of persons I know who have seeu much of Guiteau since the killing is to the effect that he is pot cognizant in mind. Grant Talking Bitterly.

Gazette New York special: A reporter calied upon Gen. Grant at his office in SperwaD," No. 2 Wall street, and inquired of him as 10 the truth of the story published in the Tribune. The ex- President replied curtly: Not a line of truth in it. He was questioned as to his rumored financial relations with Senator Chaffee, and he said: is a A.

It is evidently written by acme 0DO who knows something about the President's faturo cabinet plans. Certainly the man who concocted is ta thoroughly posted in State Department matters, and knows what missions and Consulates are Dow vacant or will be availa D.e soun.

No one. except somebody wbo bad to do with diplomatic matters could bave 1pspired this correspondence. For these reasons I do not hesitate to ear that Blaine wrote, or inspired, the artacic. He was at the Fitch Avenue Hotel the day it was written and the day it, appeared, sod this incideuce at least, is remarkable. You see, Blaine wants revenge for being forced to leave the Cabinet.
