C. Washburn, of Wisconsin. American people will be glad to seek its destruelion. The country should be spared, by some means, the intoierabie disgrace of another If it la necessary to take the murderer out of jail Intormally and strangle hum to preserVe Court from another display of imbecility, the American people could be reconciled to the alternative. The preteuso that there is any reason, technical or other, for a new trial for the bloody dog who sneaked behind rresident Garfield and shot him is a fraud and a shame.

If there is a new trial there will be a hanging before the time fixed by the sentence. The patience of millions of the people of the United States on this subject le ejaL Elihu U.

The Washington court eit bane Is said to have some doubt emit; the Guitean case. If Guiteau is given a new trial the people won't nave any doubt about the Washingtoa court. A Philadelphia young man committed suicide atter trying in vain to win the love of the young woman of his choice, and left a note saying; I have been refused by twelve women." Some men never appreciate their luck. The Cincinnati Commaciat says that "There are saloous in New York. 11 If placed side by aide in a direct line they would extend a distance of forty-live miles" This is the first intimation that the editor of the Comntertt44 had been visiting New York.

There are to be three bureaus. One, to be known as the Bureau of Agricultural Products, Is to have charge of the botanical, chemical, and entomological interests of the country. Out of this may grow a Government laboratory devoted to chemical experiments and a vast museum of bugs impaled upon long pins and labeled with elaborate and incomprehensible Latin names. Then there is to be a Bureau of Animal Industry, in charge of a veterinary surgeon. which is desigued to collect information of the nuhfl ber.

condition, and value of the domestic animals in the country, promote breedhig anti improvement of stock, and devise the means for curing and preveuting diseases. If a man like Pasteur could be secured as the head of this bureau it might be of vast service to the farmers and stock-raisers of the country; but, as such an event is not to be expected, it can only be hoped that somebody will be found who will be sufficiently intelligent and progressive to give the country the full benefit of the latest scientific discoveries as they are revealed, The third bureau is that of Lands and Statistics, which is charged especially with the resources of lands for stock-raising, the collection of crop reports, and investigations into the best means for protecting ottr forests. All this has the appearance of a very comprehensive undertaking, but the fact is that the same work has been goinz on for a number of years under the auspices of a bureau and a Commissioner, and its transfer to a department and a Secretary seems only designed to afford an additional member of the Cabinet and an increase of positions and salaries. If a new and independent executive department was to be created it would have been much wiser in Congress to relieve the Interior Department of some of the incoherent elements of which it is now composed, and attempt a rearrangement of bureaus under two department with something like a correspondence of interests and concentration of responsibility. As it is.

there will remain a number of subordinate bttreaus to strive for the dignity of the department independence and a representation in the Cabinet. Success in this direction will always depend upon the ambition, enterprise, and lobbying capacity of the aspiriug chief or Commissioner. The lion, Cadwallader C.

AM LI SE MEN TS all contact with the barbarous and bloodthirsty, preferring the and nightingales" of life and the association of gentle spirits. The people of the Athens of Amer lea, however, learned. intelligent, and cultured as they are, versed in all the sciences and up in all polite literature, never lose au opportunity to express their sympathy for what is abhorrent to all right-minded The young fiend, Jesse Ilomeroy, who ought to have been, killed like a mad dog long ago, and who spent all his time while out of jail in mutilating and murdering little children, is a special pet with them, and they never yet have become reconciled to his incarceration, but make spasmodic efforts to get hint out and give hint fresh opportunities for his brutal propensities.

The Indians have also been special pets with them, and the more murderous they have been the more has Boston sympathy gone Out to them. When the Anachtl is on the war-path, plundering, burning, scalping, and killing women and children, their commiseration increases and we hear the most blubbering sentimental appeals to spare the poor Indian. When the Chinese question came up, and they were shown in their repulsive lights, their immoralities and diseases, their injury to American labor, and their hostility and contempt for everything American, immediately Boston's voice was loudly heard appealing for the anti-American Mongolians and sympathizing with them and demanding that they, an unassimilating people, should have the right to swarm over here for mere money-making ends, to return to the "Celestial Kingdom" 1 when they had obtained a fortune, to be replaced by other hordes on the same errand of underbidding, Americans in their own labor-market, degrading and starving home labor. But what cared the pseudo Boston philanthropists for the mischief tee coolies were doing if they could make profit out of them. The last manifestation of their sickly and mawkish sentimentalism is for the assasin Guiteau.

As the time draws nigh when the miserable wretch will expiate his horrible crime upon the gallows, they are bestirring themselves in sighing petitions for a stay of the execution upon the grounds of supposed insanity, in the face of such an array of testimony to his sanity as was never summoned before in any criminal trial in this country. Ills sanity, his responsibility for the crime, his knowledge of that responsibility, his ability to discriminate betwoen right and wrong, were all established beyond question, and yet the puling, sentimental Boston, true to its record, comes forward asking that the horrible avretch shall not be executed because he might be insane! If this were the only case in which these miserable sentimentalists had interfered to thwart justice and shield criminals it might not seem so remarkable, but the constant repetition of the practice is becoming monotonous. It begins to look as if the culture of Boston, through study of and familiarity Aith crime, has at last actually not only reached a stage of toleration, but of actual sympathy with it, and that it is repulsive to this culture to have it punished. If such be the result of culture, however, it is a matter of congratulation that there is but one Modern Athens in America. If there were many more such places murderers would have unrestrained freedom, or would not be exposed to any severer penalty than to serve as studies for the Boston school of culture.

So great is the sympathy in that city for all that is repulsive, and law-breaking, and dangerous that it is a thousand pities the Apachk, and Guiteaus, and all the murderous cranks in the country could not be collected there and kept there in close and loving communion with its culture.

BRITISH TAXATION AND REVENUE. We have already published in detail the official statement of the receipts and expenditures of the British Government during the year 1ttS1-'S2 ending March 31, ISSI The total receipts were $4:29,110,000, and the expenditures were $125,500,000, showing a surplus ot $3,500,000. For the present year the estimates of receipts and expenditures were as follows.

The expenditures are estimated: Debt and interest 1157,075,000 den of their own, suul enjoy a far higher average of dornestio comfort than is possible even in the best wotmen's dwellings in the I town but they seem to prefer their present positiop, with all its disadvantages. to the certaiuty of lengthening their woricing day by from one and a halt to two hours, while also paying a railway fare and a slight increase of rent." Notwithstanding their dis incliPation, the Gazette is of opinion that the only remedy for the difficulty is to get them i at a cheap rate into the country. A rOSSIELE NEW TRIAL FOS GUITEAtt. Incredible as it may seem, there is grave I reason to fear that the Supreme Court of the 1 District of Columbia in bane will set aside the verdict in the Guiteau case and order a new trial. The grounds of reversal, if it shall be ordered, will be either want of jurisdiction or the admission of improper testimony, or both.

Mr. Reed put great stress upon these points, and is confident that the 4 court will sustain him in both. Ills natural I bias in favor of his own arguments deprives 4 his judgment as to the probable action of the court of value. If there were nothing else to base an opinion upon, there would be no reason to doubt the result. But it is understood that disinterested lawyers, holding relations more or less confidential to some of the Judges, are convinced that the verdict will be set aside.

The plea of want of jurisdiction is less dangerous than the other. If. the comments and questions of the Judges during the arguments are accepted as having any weight, they would be as conclusive in favor of the jurisdiction of the court as they would be against the propriety of admitting the testimony objected to. But It would be unsafe and absurd to attach importance to anything that came from the bench on the rehearing, either in the way of casual remark or in that of interrogatories. The only real source of apprehension arises from the statements of lawyers of eminence who are supposed to be in a position to know what they are talking about.

The testimony objected to is that of Mrs. Dunmire, the divorced wire of Guitessu. She was asked whether during the five years she had lived with the assasin she had ever seen evidences of insanity in him. She answered that she had not. The court is expected to hold that the testimony of a wife against her husband can under no circumstances be competent, and that this particular testimony was so prejudicial to him as to entitle him, to a new trial.

Ordinarily a wife may not testify against her husband, but there are facts connected with this testimory which make it unimportant, so that the granting of a new trial on that ground alone would be a public scandal and disgrace. Mrs. Dunmire was the divorced wife of Guiteau. If she was prejudiced against him that fact was fully known to the jury and went to them with the evidence. The defense does not seem to have objected to her evidence, or if it did so it made a very faint objection, and did not note an exception.

Moreover, her testimony as to Guiteau's sanity was negative. It amounted to saying that he was not insane. This was not ma licious, or prejudicial. or calculated to damage the defendant in the minds of the jury. Finally.

Mrs. Dunmire's testimony was cumulative. The case and the record would have been complete without it. Guiteau would have been found guilty if it had not been admitted. American criminal jurisprudence has already been sufficiently discredited.

For the sake of the honor of our courts and the good names of our Judges. it is to be hdped that Guiteau is not to have a new trial for the frivolous reasons alleged. Reed is confident that he will have a new trial, but if he does not the Illinois lawyer will employ all the cunning artifices which his practice has taught him to postpone, if not to prevent, the punishment of the assasin. There will bean appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States, a stay of proceedings, and a demand for a respit from President Arthur. The chances that the assasin will be executed on the appointed day are diminishing.

Justice halts and the patience of the people is nearly exhausted. Respect for the laws and courts has been impaired. If there is no lawful power in this country to punish an assasin of the character of Guiteau for the murder of the Chief Magistrate of the Nation in open day in the presence of many witnesses, there would seem to be no reason why Criminal Courts as at present the rules of evidence and practice now in force, should continue to exist. Later information is to the effect that the Judges reached a unanimous conclusion after a four-hours' consideration of the arguments presented, and that their decision affirms the jurisdiction and of the court. The Washington Post Is the authority fi3r this statement, wVich is made with such absolute positiveness as to indicate that it is based upon authentic information.

If it is true that a decision has been reached by the court en bane, it is altogether probable that the natore of the decision has been divulged, although the official announcement is to be withheld until one week from today, and that the Post's information is correct.

Cadwallader C. Washburn, of Wiscunsin, is announced in a dispatch from Eureka Spring. where lie expired at half-past 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon. THE renomination of Congressman McKinley, of Ohio, is virtually settled by the result of Saturday's primary elections in his district. The returns show that McKinley has secured twenty-six out of the fifty-one delegates to the District Convention.

THE Attorney-General of New York has given an opinion which bids fair tr) ruin utterly the prospects of the officeseeking female-suf. tragists. He says the State Constitution confines the suffrage to males; and It cannot therefore be given to females without an amendment to the Constitution. An amendment to the Constitution has to bo passed by two successive Legislatures and then submitted to the people; and no proposal to give women the ballot could survive such a process within any period sutlielently hear. CONGRESSMAN Sr Eta.

of Georgia, has sent a message to the Independent Convention which assembles today, urging the nomination of Alexander Stephens as the Independent candidate for Governor. Mr. Speer guarantees that if elected Mr. Stephens will be the Governor of all the State, and will be the tool of no ring. A LOY-DON dispatch says that on and after Monday, May 22, cable taritTs front New York and Canada to the United Kingdom, France, and Germany will be increased to 50 eents per word.

The existing toll is 25 cents per word. English, French, and American Government messages will be charged half-rate, and press messages 25 cents for cipher messages and 12 cents for ordinary newi matter. This doubling of the tariff on commercial, business, and private messages is a. curious commentary on the promises that were held out by Jay Gould when he was laying his two competing cables. As soon as he had got his two cables into working, competing order he formed a combination with the English and French cables, inducing them to double their rates on the general public.

fir belief is, that the half-dollar-aword tariff will not yield as much money as the 2.5-cent-a-word rate, and that the pool in its greed has overreached itself. THE Pullman Palace-Car Company has just laid the foundadons for over 5W new cottages at Pullman, which will be finished within a few months. There are now alti completed cottages, and 240 very nearly finished, malting altogether about homes coatrolled by the company. The new cottages are in a line directly south of those already finished, and will furnish accommodations for 5i'16 families, averaging five to a family. The Pullman Land Company will erect as many more houses next year.

TIM evidence is closing in slowly but surely around the Malley boys. It is clearly ascertained that Jennie Cramer, Blanche Douglass, and James Malley were together as late as II p. m. on the fatal fitia of August; that Jennie Cramer was murdered: that her person waa violated, and the afterwards poisoned and her body thrown into the water, where it was found next day. The Malleys seem to appreciate the gravity of their situation.

Grand total Mr. Gladstone stated that in consequence of the unusual occupation of the time of Parliament he could not propose the bill to provide for county governments throughout the Kingdom. But he would promise some allowance from the National 'Treasury tor local highways, and tor this purpose the tax on four-wheel carriages would be increased on one class from $5.2.5 to ST.50 and on the other class front 810.50 to $3.5 each. The system of taxation in England is so perfect that the revenue can De increased to meet a deficiency or to meet any unforeseen expenditure by the addition of a penny in the pound to the rate of income tax. in the addition of sixpence or a shilling to the rate of any of the excise taxes; and when there is a surplus the revenue for the next year can be reduced to the extent of the surplus by the reduction of the existing rate oh any of the objects of taxation.

The rule there is to keep the revenue down as closely as possible to the expenditures, and as the revenue increases from the annual increase of business the tax is accordingly reduced for the coining year. By this process the taxes on imported articles have all been repealed except on four or five articles, and the excise taxes have been greatly reduced, and in many cases repealed, during the last twenty years. The London Standard thus gives some particulars of the policy of taxing spirits and other intoxicating beverages, and the results in England may be instructive to those in this country who are demanding the repeal of all tax on spirits, and that the American policy should be free whisky. The Standard, reviewing Mr. Gladstone's budget for the present year, contains the It Is now believed that at least twelve men 'were associated in the murder of Lord Cavendish and Mr.

It is true that t118 brewers complain that Mr.

Gladstone pitched the beer duty at too nigh a figure, but he is justified in Claiming credit for his estimate, on the ground that the beer duty and the readjustment of tile license duties levied from toe brewers, have together very nearly equaled. though they have nut exceeded, tee average Exchequer receipts derived from the malt tax. in dealing with this question Mr. Gladstone was able to furnish some very interesting facts, showing the comparative value to the revenue of the various forms of liquor tax throughout a series of years. Re proved by his statistics that the proportion whica the liquor taxes bore to the whole tax revenue of the country, exeluding income tax, had gone on steadily increasing during a series Of yenrs extending from 1869-270 to 1879-'80.

but that in toe last three years this proportion bad tailen back. The diminution in the revenue from alcohol is not accompanied by any corresponding increase in the yield of the duties upon tea. coffee. or other non-alcoholic beverages; but the money thus withheld from the Excnequer may be traced in the increktsed savings of the people as exhibited by the returns of the savings-bunks. As an indication of national thrift inis 4 fact cannot but be hailed with satisfaction.

and the increase in the savings is the more remark- able wnen we bear in mind that during the last three years wages have been distinctly lower than they were in ISIff, and are still below the average level for the years of comparative prosperity.

FEW reports are yet at hand regarding the effect upon crop-prospects of the protracted rains of last week, but from the information leceived it appears that the wet anti cold w-eather was very damaging to corn already named, and that there Is danger that the kernel will rot In the ground and necessitate teplanting. The bright still and brisk breezes hick followed the cold rain will rapidly dry the surface of the earth, but until warmer weather sets in the advance of vegetation will be quite slow. Some compensation for the dismal weather of the past few days is found In the fact that the chinch-bugs have been very generally drowned and frozen out, so that tne conditions that were unfavorable to corn will probably prove a benefit to the itinter-wheat crop.

There is always a pressure upon Congress to increase the number of offices, raise the salaries attached to those already in existence, and enlarge the dignity, scope, and importance of the higher places.

Clerks aspire to be chiefs, chiefs to be Commissioners, and Commissioners to be Secretaries. Divisions strive to be converted into bureaus, and bureaus into departments. Most of the independent branches of the Executive Government have grown out of the ambition of some individtal for new honors. This is the explanation of the law which was recently passed by the House of Representatives, and which will probably receive the prompt concurrence of the Senate, creating a new department for the Government and adding a new member to the Cabinet on the 1 basis of the Bureau of Agriculture. It is only a few years since this branch of the Government was started as a subordinate bureau in the Interior Department; then it was given an independent positi6n, and a Commissioner was placed at its head; now it develops into a full-fledged department with three bureaus, a Secretary entitled to sit in the Cabinet meetings, and employs and expenses that will increase even beyond the accretion of new dignity.

The late Commissioner, Mr. Le Due, was indefatigable in his efforts to build up a department out of the bureau over which he presided, but Mr. Loring, the present Commissioner, seems destined to enjoy the fruits of Le Duc's labor. The bill provides that the new Secretary shall be "an experienced and practical agriculturist" This requirement may be observed in the selection of one or two of the earlier Secretaries of Agriculture, but it will become a dead-letter in a short time. After a few years the Secretary of Agriculture will be no more a practical farmer than the Secretary of War is a practical soldier or the Secretary of the Navy a practical sailor.

The new department will siinply provide for some practical politician and increase the facilities and perhaps the embarrassment of the new Presidents in distributing the honors among the party chiefs. IIt does not appear that the elevation of the Bureau of Agriculture into a department is to broaden its lancuon or increase its useful TIIERE iS a manifest prejudice against that great Ohio man, Speaker Keifer.

IT was formerly the rule in Germany to exempt from duty the covering of any article which was itself free, eveu though the covering would in any other circumstances be subject to impost. The Berlin Montaudblatt says that Alexander von Humboldt once availed himself of this therty in a very ingenious manner.

In the year IS05 be and Guy-Lussac were in Paris engaged in their experiments on the compression of air. The two scientista tound themaelves in need of a large number of glass tubes. This article was exceedingly dear in France at the time, and the rate of impost upon imported glass tubes was something alarming. Humboldt sent an order to Germany for the needed articles. and save directions that the manufacturers should seal up the tubes at both ends.

and put a label upon each tube with the words Deutsche Leff The air of Germany was an article upon which there was no duty, and the tubes were passed by the customs officers without any demand, and arrived free of duty in the hands of the two experimenters. The tale got abroad that the officers of the French customs did not lind the article in their regulations, and Ito let it vass unchallenged; but it is much more likely that the object for which Humboldt and his colleague wanted the tubes was known to the authorities, mid that the exemption was purposely conceded.
