L" f THE EAST* ' A-ISKW YORK telegram «ay» that Wall street operators are still praying VVindom to do something to relieve the money market They say that too mnch money has gone into the treasury during the past two months, and too little h».s come out, at this season of the yeai especially, when the East is enduring a steady drain from the West and South. The situation becomes aggravated by the counter drain intc the treasury. The Secretary, it is reported, fears that, bv opening the. doors of the treas­ ury. the incentive to speculation will be stimu­ lated, and that he will be censured for allowing himself to lie governed and influenced by Wall street appeals. A FIRE which broke out in the Fourth avenue car stablee, at New York, completely destroyed the blook of buildings and caused the death of 100 horses. The flames crossed Thirty-second street and made an ash-heap of Mo well's furniture storage building, the losi being estimated at $2,000,000. THE wholesale ^provision firm ol Washington Butcher's Sons, which was estab­ lished in Philadelphia 121 years ago, has failed. Its liabilities are admitted to be 91,000,000. It has a branch house in Chicago, where it has been speculating heavily in grain. ... .Parties in New York are buying up ail the Confederate bonds they can secure, giving f 2.50 per $1.000 for them. It is supposed an effort will be made by English and New \ork- ew to secure their payment The loss on the Moireli warehouse and Vanderbilt car sta­ bles, in New York, is now said to be about f2.500,{KX). About 325 horses perished. CHARLES H. LANDERBERQER'S mill, on Bandolph street, Philadelphia, was destroyed by fire. There were thirty-five persons in the building. Some of them escaped by jumping, others escaped through the doorsl Six per­ sons were badly burned about the face and eyes, and nine persons were seriously hurt in jumping. Two of those burned will prolmbly die, Dr.J.G.Holland, for many vears the editor of Scribner's Monthly, and well known in the literary world by the title of " Timothy Tit- comb," died suddenly in New York. He was born in Belchertown, Mass., in 1819, and graduated from the Brookline Medical Oollege m 1844. A NEW YORK dramatic journal prints the statement that Edwin Booth and wife have separated. It is said the estrangement has grown for a year, and culminated with the dis­ covery that the wife had willed to her mother property in Chicago deeded to her by Mr. Booth a year ago The fire at Landenberg- er's mill." at Philadelphia, was much more de­ structive of human life than the reports at first made it appear. It is now ascertained that over twenty persons have died either from the result of injuries received in jumping from the windows of the burning building or perished in the flames of the burning structure CoL Ed­ win B.

THE explosion of a ooal-oil lamp in the town of Kokomo, CoL, oaased nearly the complete destruction of the places The loss is placed at 9400,000. Several hundred men be­ came infuriated by liquor stolen during the con­ flagration The masked robbers who obtained 98.000 in gold from the farm-house of Ezekiel Perrin were captured at Litchfield. 111. Their cUt-eovery was due wholly to a drunken dispute over the division of the 'spoils The Garfield monument at Lake View Cemetery, Cleveland, is to cost 9200,000, of which Cleveland pro­ poses, to raise 950,OOfy THE SOUTH. GEN. JOSEPH C. ABBOTT, who entered the Union army from New Hampshire, and since the war settled in North Carolina and represented that State in the Senate, has just died at Wilmington. THE four men who captured the Ar­ kansas train-robbers secured 99,000 of the booty, which they divided up, one of the party making some objection. The robbers would then have been released but for the large rewards offered. In consideration of their silence about the divide. % solemn pledge was made them that no effort would be spared to release them from the pen­ itentiary. The captor who favored the return of the money to the railroad company escaped two attempts at assassination, ana revealed the facts to the authorities. IN a quarrel at Louisville, Ky., be­ tween two brothers, Budd ahd Henry Basse tt, over the loan of the sum of 25 cents, the lat­ ter shot the former, killing him instantly. Be­ fore the shooting the two had fought, during which Henry was so badly cut that he will die.... The three young Arkansas train-robbers have made full confessions. Their names are Sam and Thomas Williams, 17 and 19, and James De- laney, the former printers. All lived in San Augustine, Texas. They wanted money to get married. One of the Williams boys was bare­ footed. and all were ragged. They say their captors took from them 919,000.

D. H. Williams, Secretary of "the Relief Committee at Pittsburgh, has recently given the Michigan burned district an exhaustive inspec­ tion. He reports that the wheat is everywhere green above the ground; that contributions nave been rapidly and honestly distributed, and that the farmers are deeply grateful for the aid received. THE anniversary of the great fire in Chicago was made the occasion, by the daily press of that city, of reviewing the commer­ cial progress. From the statistics printed by the local papers we glean that Chicago became a city in 1837. In the thirty-four years between that time and 1871 ihe increased her popula­ tion to 306,000, a gain in thirty-four years of about 300,000, or an average gain per vear of about 9,000. In the ten years between Oct. 9, 1871, and Oct. 9, 1881, the gain in population ^s 250,000, or an average gain per year of fj™; Jn the thirty-four years from 1837 to 1871 the business of the city grew in volume r,*16 ?ear y sales had a money value of •450,000.000. In the ten years succeeding the pre of 1811 the volume of business was more than doubled. A year after the fire the bank clearings for the week were 920,000,000. Mine years later the clearings for the week were 989,000,000. In 1871 the value of the manufactured products of Chica- 5°„™8.*7<LL»43.°00.

Columbia appeared in, the Criminal Court I room at Washington, on the 8th inst., and pre- j aented the indictment against Guiteau. It em- i braces eleven counts, and is drawn with great ! minuteness. They describe the shooting as j having Ixsen done at the Baltimore and Poto- I mac depot in Washington, of malice afore­ thought, with a pistol, inflicting a mortal ; wound, from the effects of which the President j died. i PRESIDENT ABTHCB has appointed Mr. O. P. Clarke First Deputy Commissioner of Pensions, and Mr. C. B. Walker, of Indiana, to be Deputy Commissioner of Pensions. Presi- | dent Garfield had determined on these appoint- | ments, and President Arthur in making them ; only carried out the lato President's intentions. ; A WASHINGTON telegram states that | "Scoville, Guiteau's counsel, is much de­ pressed by his visit to New York. He found no • lawyer willing to undertake the defense with­ out an exceptionally large retainer. Guiteau I rejects ScovLUe's proposition to employ Robert G. Ingersoll as counsel, because tne whole i Christian world would be prejudiced." j THE first vignette of the late Presi­ dent which will appear among the treasury issues will be upon the checks for the 6-per- ; cent, bonds continued at 3% per cent. These j checks embrace the first issue which can be utilized for that purpose. In the Postoffice , Department the vignette of the late President 1 will be placed on the 5-cent postage stamp. A WASHINGTON telegram of the 14th i inst. says: '* President Arthur has determined j that he will not send in the nominations for the ' Cabinet until after the Yorktown celebration. ! He said to the Senators this afternoon that he | would be gratified if the Senate would not take : any early step toward adjournment. He added I that, of course, he would have to go to York- | town himself, and he would be pleased to have i all the Senate go. When asked further as to I his winhes, he suggested that the Senate take a i recei-s of several days to attend the Centennial , and do honor to the French and German visit- j org. He added that he wcrOld not detain the I Senate many days after the return from York- town." I THE total value of the breadstufls ex- | ported from the United States for the nino months ending Sept. 30, 1881, was 9177,452,- merchandise. The fire of 1871 cut out of Chi cagoa city as large and as populous as was the Washington of that year. In the last ten years the lost ground has not only been recov- * population larger than tnat of New Orleans or San Francisco has been added ; in other words, the city that was cut out nas been restored and another citv almost as large as the Washington of to-day and' that of ten rs ago combined has been built up around lhis rapid recuperation from the effects of a great calamity, and steady growth in popula­ tion and volume of business, constitutes one of tne wonders of the nineteenth century. BUSHY " CIIAKK and "Frenchy" Bardeau were lynched near Socorro, N. M., for POLITICAL. ELECTIONS were held for Governor and otber State officers in Ohio and Iowa orfc Tuesday, Oct. 11. In Ohio the election was an unusually quiet one, even for an "off year" in politics. There was a good deal of scratching on both sides, and the Prohibitionists polled upward of 10,000 votes. Gov. Foster and the entire Republican ticket it would seem at this writing, were elected by 12,000 to 15,000 majority. In Iowa the vote was extremely : light--probably 60.000 less than last year--at- i ti ibuted largely to rain, which prevailed gener- ucttl oulMI11 j all.T throughout the State.

MABTHA SCAUIS, familiarly known &s old Mother Scales, died^ recently at Carrollton, ™ ue Greene county, HL, at the wonderfully ad- I thinks too good to give up for a three-years' vanced age of 110 years. She was in all proba- tfcrm Secretaryship of the Treasury. MHfr the oldest person in Illinois at the tim« of THE New York Democratic State Con- Is conversation with a friend at Wash­ ington David Davis is credited with saying: " I could not take a Cabinet position if it were offered mo. I left the Supreme bench because its duties were too arduous for me, and a Cab­ inet position would prove far more engrossing than a Supreme Justiceship. I shall remain in the Senate."... .The Minnesota Legislature con­ vened in extra session on the 11th inst., for the purpose of considering the proposition of the holders of the old railroad bonds for a settle­ ment at 50 cents on the dollar. IT IS stated that ^^ptdge folger WRH tendered the Secretaryship of the Treasury bv President Arthur, but it was declined with thanks. Judge Folger was elected Chief Jus­ tice of the Supreme Court of New York last year. His term of office is fourteen years, and his salary is £12,000 per annum, and, at the end of his term--he will be then over 70--he can retire on full pay. Such a position he vention was in session two days at Albany, un­ der the Chairmanship of Erastns Brooks. The Tammany and Irving Hall delgations, from New York city, were excluded from seats in the convention by a unanimous vote. The follow­ ing ticket was nominated: W. H. Purcell, of the Rochester Ctiion, Secretary of State; George -H. Xsphnni. Comptroller; Roswell A. Parmen- ter, Attorney General; Robert A. Maxwell, Treasurer; Thomas Evershed, State Engineer; Judge of the Court of Appeals, ex-Attorney General Schoonmaker. A COLUMBUS (Ohio) dispatch of the 14th inst. says that returns of the election from *' seventy-six counties of the eighty-eight show Republican gains of 10,782 : Democratic gains, 5,643; net Republican gain. 5,139. which, added to Townsend's majority of last year, gives a Republican plurality of 24,189. The twelve counties yet to heiur from will not materially change the above figures. The Prohibition vote in the State will foot up a little over 15,000. The Greenback vote will not exceed 2,000. The Democrats take their Waterloo defeat very kindly, the Old Liners especially, who wore told to stand back by the young Eagles, while they ran the campaign, and are now congratulating themselves that the young bloods were so thorough­ ly worsted." A Des Moines tele­ gram of the 14th says that " full and reliable returns of the Iowa elections from seventy-two comities give Sherman (Republican) a net ma­ jority of 31,526. The returns sustain the pre­ vious estimates that Sherman's majority will be 48,000. The House of Representatives stands, according to present returns: Republicans, 75; Dc-moctats, 20; Gieenbackers, 5 The Nebraska Stite Democratic Convention, at Omaha, nominated W. H. Munger for Supreme Court Judge, and Alex Bear and S. L. Brass for Regents of the University, and adopted a platform declaring for tree-trade, honest money and economical administration, and against the high-license liquor law. AT a meeting held in Tammany Hall, New York, John Kelly declared that, although the TammanyiU's were rejected, and, to some extent, humiliated bv the Democratic State Convention, they were determined to bow to the decision and would give the State ticket their entire support. roHEieiv. PARNELL, in an address at Waterford, Ireland, pronounced Gladstone the greatest co­ ercions t and most unrivaled slanderer of the Irish nation Archbishop Croke, in replying to an address from the Land League at Dublin, advised the enormous assembly to give the new land act a fair triaL This is opposed to the Parnell policy A Paris correspondent says it is rumored that England and France have agreed on a joint policy of defense for their subjects in Egypt, and have for this pur­ pose dispatched ironclads to Alexandia. AT a meeting of the Land League in Dublin, Dillon said that Gladstone's praise of him at Leeds was based on false grounds. Dil­ lon declared that, had he had his way, he would not only have stood between his countrymen and the Land act, but would have thrown out Gladstone and his Government. Since his re­ lease from prison he had approved Parnell's en­ tire policy. He urged the people, despite the laws, to obey Parnell. Dillon added that he re­ garded Gladstone as a dishonest politician, with a reputation based upon peraistent aud un- restrainable power of misrepresenting facts Parnell, at Wexford, SP d the movement for using only articles of I:::8i manufacture was more likely to succeed tnan any of a similar kind ever started. Ireland had plenty of cap­ ital of her own, and all tho Irish wanted was full and fair scope for the ingenuity and intel­ ligence of Irishmen. Mr. Spaight, a magis­ trate in Ennis, County Clare, was fired at in his houso, but not injured. Out­ rages are reported in various parts of the country. Fifteen persons were in­ jured in a riot at Ballyragget Foxhall, the famous American horse, took the Czarowitch stakes at the Newmarket (England) races. His owner, James R.

AMONG the outrages reported by the Irish constabulary was one at Kanturk, where a man named Sullivan put needles into pota­ toes and fed them to the cattle of a boycotted fanner Keene's colt Foxhail won the select stakes at Newmarket, England. PARNELL, the head and front of the agitation in Ireland, was arrested at a l^otel In Dublin, under the Coercion act, and lodged in Kilmainham jail. The news of the arrest spread all over Ireland with the rapidity of light, and everywhere that it went the populace turned out, only to find the British soldiery armed and ou duty ahead of them. The power of the English Government and the utterly helpless condition of the Irish people in any scheme of common resistance was never more terribly contrasted than in the secrecy, tfie suddenness, the complete success of this arrest, and the dazed help­ lessness with which the Irish people were compelled to learn of it in the presence of au armed force that seemed in a moment to have swarmed all over the country and taken complete possession. A cable dispatch to the Irish World, of New York, announcing the event, says that "Ireland is in a ferment. Dublia is in a state of terrible excitement. The city is an armed camp, showing that this has been premeditated and prepared for action. No event in the history of Ireland has ao stirred Dublin, and the only parallel is Paris at the destruction of the Bastde." ADDITIONAL SEWS. VERY complete reports by telegraph to the Chicago Times from the great corn belt of the West^ show tnat the crop is in an unsat­ isfactory condition. In Illinois, Indiana and Iowa considerable damage has been done by the recent prolonged rains, and the crop will probably , fall 20 to 30 per cent, short, of an average, the quality being inferior also. In Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas the rains have been beneficial in the main, and hopes are entertained that the yiejd will be heavy. Owing to the high prices which corn has commauded of late, farmers have been selling liberally, and but a small por­ tion of last year's crop now remains in their hands. The reports agree that the number of hogs now fattening is very much smaller than usual, and they will not come up to the average in weight A fire which originated in a Llacksnntli-sliop on "pear street, San Francisco, destroyed a large planing-mill, valued at 4100,000, a lumber-yard, a shipping-loft, a ship-carpentershop and other property.

A warrant was also issued for' the arrest of Healey, Member of Parliament for Wexford, and Parnell's secretary. THE German Ami N? sudor, Hcrr Yon Schloezer, had an audience of the President, and on behalf of his imperial master of the imperial and royal family aud Prince Bis­ marck. expressed"the deep sympathy they had felt for the late President during "his period of suffering and for the American nation in his loss.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9. Caucuses were held on Saturday by both the Democratic and Republican Senators. Then was quite a full attendance at both. The three new Senators, Lapham, Miller and Aldrich, were at the Republican caucus. After remain­ ing in tes>ion an hour or mora, disenssing the situation, the Republicans anointed a com­ mittee, consisting of Messrs. Edmunds, Logan, Allison, Sherman and McMillan, to confer with the Democrats on the general subject of organization. In the Democratic caucus, the sentiment in fa­ vor of electing Mr. Bayard as President of the Senate the first thing on Monday was over­ whelming. It was agreed to without even u suggestion to the contrary. The next ques­ tion, involving the right of the Democrats to elect a Secretary before swearing in the new Senators, was taken up, and a lengthy discussion ensued, some holding that the Secretary should properly be elected before swearing in the new Senators, and others that it was the right of the new Senators to partici­ pate in this election. Messrs. Pendleton, Gar­ land. Voorhees, Pugh and Davis, of West Virginia, were appointed a committee to meet the Republican committee and confer with them in relation to the organization. The two committees met and were in confer­ ence jn«t fifteen minutes. Before proceeding, Mr. Pendleton said that it was fair to tho Re­ publicans to state that the Democrats had al­ ready selected a candidate for the Presidency of the Senate, and that any conference coulcl only take into consideration the remain­ ing officers connected with the Sen­ ate. To this Mr. Edmunds, for the Republicans, replied that they were only au­ thorized to confer as to the organization of the Senate. He also stated, in connection with the selection of a Democrat to be presiding officer of that body, that sucb an act was to offer a premium to some Democratio Guiteau. or dangerous person to murder President Arthur for the purpose of placing the Democrats in control of the Government The Republican committee returned to their caucus chamber, and made their report, when Senator Antlionv was unanimously nominated the Republican "candidate for the presiding of­ ficer, he being the oldeBt Senator in conunih ous service. WASHINGTON, Oct. 10. Both th* Republican and Democratic Sen­ ators met in caucus this morning with a fall attendance. The Republicans remained in session but a short time, and merely mapped out a plan of action to govern through to-day. The Democratic caucus remained in session an hour or more^ and- discussed the question which occupied so much of their time Saturday, whether or not to admit the new Senators before electing a Secretary. No decision was reached, and the caucus ad­ journed. Senator Edmunds proposed to Sena­ tor Pendleton, Chairman of the Democratio caucus, that a Senator be elected to call the Senate to order. This was submitted to the Democratic caucus, which decided to accept, provided the Republicans would consent to the election of a Democratic Sen­ ator. This was acceptable, and both parties unanimously agreed that Senator Har­ ris should call the Senate to order. The Sen­ ate assembled at noon. The galleries were filled to their utmost capacity. The Senators- elect--Aldrich, Miller and Lapham--occupied seats upon the floor on the Republican side. The Senate was called to order by Senator Harris. The President's proclamation having been read. Senator Pendleton moved the adop­ tion of the following resolution: " That Thomas F. Bayard, a Senator from the State of Delaware, is hereby chosen ' PrcKident pro tern of the Si-nate." Senator Edmunds said t.hut, of course, he did not object to the present consideration of the resolution, but ho thought, under the existing circumstances, it wai his duty to present the credentials of the Senators-elect, which he thereupon did. The credentials having been read, Senator Edmunds moved that the oath of office be administered to' those gentlemen by Senator Amhony, the senior Senate". ScnatovTendloton moved to lay t :u motion on the table. Carried--yeas, 36; nays, 31. Davis, ol' Illinois, voted with theHrpui;u:an>j m the negative. Mahone did not vote, and Piatt and Fan- were paired. Mr. Edmunds said no reason had been given why Senators-clect should not be allowed to take part in the or­ ganization of the Senate, and ho, therefore, moved to amend Pendleton's resolution by pro­ viding for the immediate qualification of the Senators-elect, tne oath of office to be admin­ istered by Senator Anthony. Senator Edmund s then proposed an amendment providing that Thomas F. Bayard shall be elect­ ed presiding officer for this day only. The amendment gave rise to a short discus­ sion, but was finally rejected- yeas. 33 ; nays, •84--Messrs* lltnone ^and Davis {III.) voting with the Republicans. Senator Edmunds then offered another amendment, to substitute the name of Senator Anthony for that of Senator Bayard as President pro tem. A vote was at once taken and the amendment defeated--yeas, 32; nays, 34. Mahone voted with the Republicans. Senator David Davis did not vote. The original reso­ lution, introduced by Senator Pendleton, was then adopted by 34 to 32. Davis, of Illinois, did not vote. Mahone voted with the Republi­ cans. The chair then appointed Senators An­ thony and Pendleton to escort the President pro tempore elect, Senator Bayard, to the chair. When Mr. Bayard was installed as President of the Senate he returned thanks, ard invoked the consideration and co-operation of the Sen­ ators. He referred to the sad circumstance which caused the call of the Senate, and said the grief which penetrates every household in the land should soften the party asperity in the Senate and lead to harmonious action. The Senate then, without the transaction of any further business, adjourned for the day. The only business transacted in the Senate, on the 11th inst., was the swearing in of Messrs. Miller, Lapham and Aldrich, and the appointment of a committee to wait on tho Pres­ ident and notify him of the organization of the Senate. Before Messrs. Miller nnd Lap­ ham were sworn in, Mr. McPherson presented to the Senate a petition received by him from certain Democratic members of the New York Legislature, aliening reasons why those gentlemen were not entitled to seats in the f-euate. He did not present the pe­ tition with any desire'to delay action upon the administration of the oath. Mr. Edmunds said that he would not object to the presenta­ tion of the petition, and it was laid upon the table. Mr. Edmunds presented a resolution that the standing committees of the last session be contimnd for the preset* session, nnd that the President pro tem. fill »ny vacancy that might exist. Mr. Harris promptly obi acted, and the resolution went over under the rule. Vr. Kellogg offered a resolution on the 12th( calling on the Secretary of State for informa­ tion in regard to the seizing of Vincenzo Ri- bello, in New Orleans, and his subsequent ex­ tradition to Itrlv as a bandit. Mr. Edmunds then called up his resolution continuing for the present semen the standing committees of the Senate as constituted last session. After some opposition by Mr. Garland, Mr. Edmunds said he would not press the resolution at once. Piencknt Arthur sent, iu a long list of ncminalions, including the following. William W. Dudley, of Indiana, Commissioner of Pensions ; Otis" P. Clarke, of Rhode Island, First Deputy Commissioner of Pensions ; C. B. Walker, cf Indirna, Depity Commissioner of Pensions ; Noah C. McFarland, of Kansas. Com­ missioner of General Land Office; C. H.Howard, of Illinois.

The only one to r;:ise an objeetion j was Senator lloar, of Massachusetts. To a | committee of Republican Senators who in- ; ouired of him if he would accept the position, Mr. Davis replied that they must be nuided i bv their knowledge of his character. ! The Democratic Senators also hold another i caucur. and decided on a policy of inaction in , regard to the Secretaryship of the Senate. The | caucus also came to the conclusion not to in- ! vestigate the "points' raised by certain Dem­ ocratic members of the New York Legislature against the validity of the election of Senators Lapham and Miller, and that the best and wisest policy is to let the Senate committees stand as at present constituted. On the 13th inst., Mr. JJdmunds called up his resolution continuing the standing commit­ tees as constituted at the last session. Mr. Garland offered an amendment providing that only the following committees shall be contin­ ued : Foreign Relations, Finance, Commerce, Military Affairs, Judiciary, Postofficcs and Roads, Public Lands, Pensions, and Indian Affairs. He contended the committees named were tbe only ones that would have any work to "do during the special ses­ sion. Mr. Edmunds opposed tbe amendment. Mr. Garland stated that he would modify hit) amendment so as to continue the Committees on Privileges and Elections and Contingent Expenses. He thought it would then include all the committees necessary to organize at this time. Mr. Garland's amendment was rejected --yeas, 35 ; nays 37. Davis (111.) and Mahone voting with tbe Republicans. Mr. JKdmunds' resolution was then adopted--yeas, 37 ; nays, 35. The standing committees are, therefore, continued as constituted at the last session, and the President pro tem. is authorized to fill vacancies whicli mav exist. Aw soon as the result was announced, Mr. Lo­ gan offered a resolution for the election of David Davis, a Senator from Illinois, as Presi­ dent pro tem. of the Senate. The resolution was adopted--yeas, 36 ; nays, 34--Bayard and David Davis not voting. On taking the chair, Senator Davis made a brief speech, in which he said the high honor conferred upon him ;ame without any expectation on his part. If the compliment had earned any party obliga­ tion with it he should havo felt constrained to decline it. A number of nominations were sent in by the president, including among others, Hannibal Hamlin, Minister to Spain ; Walker Blaine, Third Assistant Sec­ retary of State; Mark S. Brewer, of Michigan Consul-Geueral to Berlin ; De Alva S. Alexan-> der, of Indiana, Fifth Auditor of the Treasury; lienjamm P. Davis, of Massachusetts, Deputy Fourth Auditor of the Treasury; Jacob H. Ela, of New Hampshire, Auditor of the Treas­ ury, Postoffice Department; Robert F. Croweli, of Minnesota, Deputv Auditor Treasury, Post- office Department; tloward M. Kutchin, Wis­ consin, Collector of Internal Revenue Third District of Wisconsin. The resolution of Mr. Lamar relative to the inter-oceanic canal was ado] te 1 on the 14th, as was the resolution offered by Mr. Edmunds, directing the Judiciary Committee to inquire whether the proceedings for the extrt^dittoirof Viucenzo Rebello have been proper and in ac­ cordance with law. The resolution offered by Mr. Sherman, calling on the Secretary of tbe Treasury for the report of J. T. Meliue, was. laid over one day. The President sent in the following nomina­ tions: Capt.

Reports to BradstreeCs (of New York) num­ bering 3,000, in response'to inquiries sent to ail wheat and corn growing counties in the United States, enables that journal to summarize the wheat and corn crops of the United States for 1681 ; While the returns at hand, as might be supposed, do not contradict the gloomy ac­ counts of total rnin to farmers of the West, it can not be said that the situation and outlook are so forbidding as some operators would have the world believe. As regards wheat and the yield in Illinois, a slight increase in acreage is reported, but the yield per acre has declined from 16.8 bushels, the figure of the census for 1879, to 7.5 bushels per acre in 1881. The total yield of wheat for the season in Illinois is estimated at 24,676,000 bushels, as compared with 51,110,502 bushels in 1879, these being the census figures, and 56,500,000 bushels last year. The story of this decline in the yield of Illinois is of a se­ vere winter, chinch bugs and drought. The falling off from last year is about 5<i per cent. The returns from Ohio indicate a total yield of wheat for the season of 35,815,060 bushels, as compared with the census figures of 46,019,- 000 bushels for the crop of 1879, and 48,500,- 000 bushels for 1880, these latter being our own estimate, corrected in the light of the revelations of the census, a falling off of 25 per cent. The two influences which have affected the Ohio wheat yie 1 are the severe winter and drought. The average per acre in Ohio is esti­ mated at 12.8 bushels, as compared with 18 bushels in lb79. The wheat crop of Michigan, this year, we place at 18.640,000 bushels, against the census return of 35,532,000 bushels for 1879, and our own estimate of 33,375,000. bushels for 1880. The average yield per acre in Michigan this year is put at 10.5 bushels. The census return indicates a yield of 19 bushels per acre iu 1879. The falling off against last year is 47 per cent. Minnesota premises a yield fully equal to that of last year, but the "late and severe rains have caused a falling off. The average yield per acre this year is given at 10.17 per acre, the average for 1879 having been 11.3 per acre. The total yield for this year is placed at 33,170,- 000 bushels, a falling off of 8,380,000 bushels since last year. The yield of wheat in Missouri this year is estimated at 18,890.000. against 24,966.000 in 1879, and 28,000,000 in 1880. Insects have been the cauBc of great damage in Missouri. The falling off in yield, compared with last year, «is 32 per cent. Tbe yield in Iowa for this year is 24,969,600 bushel's. Tho census reported the yield of 1879 at 31,154.000. Tbe crop of 1880 is put down at 34,750,000, m the light of the census return. Nebraska has been fortunate this season. Never a great wheat State, its yield is always comparatively normal. The census gives the average yield per acre in Nebraska for 1879 as 9.4 bushels, whilo the yield in Michigan was 19 bushels per acre. The outturn of wheat in Nebraska this year is 14,686,600 busheis, against 11,900,000 last year, thus showing a slight in­ crease. Kentucky is included in the Western States, and its yieid for this season is put down at 8.- 087.000 bushels, against 11,356,000 bushels in 1879. Indiana reports a total wheat yield for 1881 of 27.756,('00 bushels, against 47,284,000 in 1879 and 48,400,000 in 1880, a falling off of 38 per cent. The reports from Wisconsin are comparative­ ly favorable, and show a gain in yield over last year, but a falling off as compared with 1879. The wheat yield of Kansas for this year is es­ timated at 19.949,000 bushels, A substantial increase in acreage keeps the total out-turn about up to that of last year, notwithstanding a decline in the yield per aero owing to the bad neasou. The ceusus report gives 17,324,000 as the yield for 1879. Summarizing tbe above gives tho following vield of wheat in the Western States in bushels: Currrrtfd re-\Bra(lxtre, t's. turim '8'J. 1881. 24.675,000 29,75(3,000 24,!tfi<»,000 14,FISFI,0O0 18,640,00'J 33,170,000 IS,830,IH10 36,81 S, 000 8,087,000 19,no:i,000 10,919,000 Regarding the Pacific States it has to be ad­ mitted that, in the light of later export figures, the estimates of the yield of wheat in Califor­ nia must be revistd. A falling off on Califor nia's yield this year is noted. The wheat crop of the State this year will reach 25,500,000 bushels, which is far below the yield of 1880. This estimate, which accords with that of the farmers, is thought to-> low by the shippers of San Francisco, who put the present season's yield some million bushels higher. The causes affecting the yield were a late spring, whi"h prevented sowing, and on the heavy clay lands want of rain. In Oregon and Washington Territory the crop of 1881 is estimated at 4,495,000 bushels in the Willamette valley, and 3,300,DUO in E:iet, Oregon and Washington, making a tot-ilof 7,825,000 bushels. This, added to the yield of California, gives 33..125,000 bushel* as the total wheat crop of the Pacific coast for 1881. The Territory of Dakota this year returns a large increase of wheat acreage, and a total yield of 8,892,000 bushels, against 2,830,000 bushels in 1879. Tho total yield of Colorado and the Territories is estimated at 12,000.00a bushels. The estimates for the yield of wheat in the Middle States show a falling off of 12 per cent, against last year. The total yield for these states is placed at 34,000,000 bushels. For the New England i-tateB a constantly de­ clining yield is noted, and the estimate for the year is 1,000,000 bushels. The. total yield of the Southern States for 1881 is estimated at 40,000,04)0 bushels The State of Texas reports a gain over last vear.

There is little to be said regarding the corn crop beyond giviDg estimates, save what is already notorious. I be story is uniformly of the effect of the ter- » river bottoms, in some or the Western States, the drought affected the corn crop very little, but this is the exception. It is specially worthy of note that a striking in- For Kentucky the yield for 1881 is 40,300,000 bushels, against a orop of 72,832,000 bushels in 1879 and 86,039,000 in 1880, the last figures be­ ing those of the Agricultural Bureau. Tennessee reports a shortage of 48.6 per cent., the figures for 1881 being 34,500,000. In 1879 the crop of the same State was 62,764,000 bush­ els, and in 1880 about the same. Virginia has & short crop, the decrease being 10 per cent. Texas reports a falling off amounting to about tbe same proportion of jM year's drop, or near 40 per cent., and the same thing may be said of West Virginia. Tne estimate of the corn crop in the South­ ern States, as a whole, this year is 247,500,000 bushels, as against 362,478,000 in 1879, accord­ ing to the census, and 466.825,000 in 1880, ac- coiding to the bureau's revised figures. The drought has most seriously affected the yield of corn in the Middle States. The short­ age in Pennsylvania and New Jersey is fully 50 per cent. In New York State the damage has not been so great. The estimate of the yield of corn for 1881 in the Middle States is 62,400,- 000, against census figures of 86,739,000 for ,1879, and the bureau's figures of 104,403,000 bushels for 1880.

GUITEAU, THE ASSASSIN. Arraigned In Court, He Enters a Plea of Not Guilty--The Trial Fixed for Nov. 7. WASHINGTON, Oct. 15. Chiirles J. Guiteau, the assassin of President Garfield, was arraigned yesterday in the Crim­ inal Court of this District, Judge Cox presid­ ing. The court room was fall, but there was no disorder. Mr. Scoville, counsel for the prisoner, entered and took his seat at the law­ yers' table, and immediately afterward the door of the witnesses' room opened and gave entrance to Marshal Henry aud two Deputy Marshals, having between them and hustling along the bowed and cowering figure of a man, for whom they made way to a seat | reserved for hini beside his counsel." Then one of the guards unlocked the handcuff,-, giving ! the prisoner the use of liis hands. Guiteau ! looked broken down in health, and uncaredfor I in person. His dark clothes were liirfty and i shabby and his whole person presented a mis- i erably neglected appearance. Alter tlie excite | ment attending his entrance had subsided, j District Attorney Corkhill rose, and, addressing the Judge, said : " Tho Grand Jury of tho Lli-- ! trict of Columbia has indicted Charles J. Gui- j teau for tho murder of James A. Ganield. The I prisoner is in court. I ask that he be arraigned | and required to plead to the indictment." "The I prisoner was ordered to stand up, and in a lan- j guid manner obeyed. The Clerk said : "Is your name Charles J. Guiteau Y" The prisoner'as­ sented by a nod. Tbe Clerk then proceeded to read the indictment, the prisoner standing up with his head most of the time inclined to the right shoulder, his eyes half-closed or wholly so, his bauds crossed as if still liRiKicuffed. ancl j his general air that of sickly indifference. The I reading occupied nearly half an hoar, and dur- j ing ail that time Guiteau hardly cmce changed | his attitude or bearing, and rarely opened his | eyes. He did not manifest the slightest de- | g'ree of interest in tho scene in which he was the chief actor, and but for an occasional slight movement might be supposed to be asleep in a standing attitude. Upon the eon- | elusion of the reading of the indictment tho j Clerk, addressing the prisoner, said: " What | say you to this indictment, guilty or not guil- | ty ? " The prisoner, in place of response, i urn- | bled in his waistcoat pocket and drew out a soiled and crumpled scrap of paper. District Attorney (imperatively)--"Enter your plea of guilty or not guilty." The prisoner--•' 1 enter the plea of not guilty, if your Honor please, and I desire to make a statement." The Court--" At some other time. It would not be appropriate just now. Sit down." The prisoner thereupon took his seat. The District Attorney--" In this casa I ask that trial be set for next Monday morning per­ emptorily. The Government is "ready fbr trial now." Mr. Scoville here presented an affidavit of the assassin and one made by himself, in regard to the necessity of witnesses, tho latter document announcing that the defense will claim the in­ sanity of the defendant and insist that tho l bullet wound was not necessarily mortal. The | court is asked to sanction the summoning of j various witnesses as to insanity, and of lour medical experts as to the President's surgical treatment. Judge Cox fixed the trial for Nov. 7, and in­ timated that assistant counsel might be as- , signed from the Washington bar. I When the hearing concluded the officers | gathered about Guiteau and securely fastened ] his handcuffs, and the prisoner was taken from the court-room. I While Guiteau was in court a large-sized man, who afterward gave his name as George H. Bctliar, approached one of the court ofiieers and asked for the loan of a pistol. His in- auiries aroused suspicion, and he was taken to le police headquarters. He there said he wanted the pistol to kill Guiteau. Bethar said he fought in Gen. Garfield's regiment, and showed wounds in his legs and on tho side of his head. Dime Novel Story. About midnight Mike Snatcher, an Irishman, employed at Fleming's coal elevator, appeared in Storrs' Station, and told Lieut. Sargent that his wife was down on board a river shanty, with a man named Mike Stretman. The Lieutenant, accompanied by Sergeant Knoppe, went down to the boat. The guilty wife heard them coming, and, running out in her night clothes, sprang into the river. Her clothing caught on a spike, and there she hung. The officers leaned over and were endeavoring to pull her out, when Stretman appeared with a keen-edged ax in his hand and exclaimed, " What are you trying to drown that woinnu for ?" Then seeing Snatcher he struck a vicious blow at him, which would have laid his head OJK'U had ho not dodged. Then Strctmen turned and tried to strike Lieut. Sirgent, who evaue.1 the blow and grabbled with him. In the scuffle that ensued both men fell ink) the river. The Sergeant seeing a good opportunity fired a shot at Stret­ man, but missed his aim, and he like­ wise; sprang into the river to assist the Lieutenant. Between them they dragged Stretman to shore, rescued the woman and took the whole party to the station, vrtiere the man was locked up for assault with intent to kill, and the woman for vagrancy.--(Hneinnnfi Cruzcltc.

His Curt Reply to s Delegation that bad Not 8np> • ported him. From the Stockholder. <> An incident unquestionably authen-IY tie which has never before been related in print may be told of Mr. Websfeer|f ; On their way home from the convention,5;! which was held, we believe at PhiladelJT^ phia, the Mississippi delegation called upon Mr. Webster at his modest house on Louisiana avenue, in Washington. It was near the close of a summer's day, when, ushered into the little front par­ lor, and introduced to Mr. Webster, the Chairman, Judge Sharkey--the same it may be who years afterward was con­ spicuous in the reconstruction politics of his state--addressed the great orator in terms of flattering eulogy, saying, among other things, how pleased he and his fellow deligates would have been to see Mr. Webster's great ability recog­ nized in the nomination of their party for the presidency. As a matter of fact, the delegation had steadily voted against him in the convention. It was. upon this fact that Mr. Webster's curt reply turned. "You have expressed, Mr. Chairman," said he, "the sentiment that your desire--and I must suppose that your action was in conformity to that desire--in the recent convention of the Whig party for the nomination of a candidate for the presidency of the United States--your desire and effort was that, that honor ̂ 'should fall upon me. In response to which I have only to say that the record, gentlemen, is the other way. Good night, gentlemen!" And bowing himself through the folding doors into the rear parlor where Mrs. Webster sat in the deepening' twilight, he vanished to Mississippi eyes, leaving his visitors sternly rebuked for lip ser­ vice, to find their homeward way as best they might. It was in the preceding presidential canvas, in 1848, when Qen. Taylor was the Whig candidate, and elected, that the writer heard Mr. Webster make, on his farm at Marshfield, the speech in which he declared that the selection of Gen. Taylor--who in private conversa­ tion at Washington had been character­ ized, but unjustly, as "only a swearing frontier colonel"--was "a nomination not fit to be made." The speech, the only one, we think,he made in the canvas, was listened to by a large assemblage who had come to Marshfield for the pur­ pose, many "straight" Whigs from Bos­ ton and elsewhere being of the number, with a considerable sprinkling of so-call­ ed "Conscious Whigs," out of whose secssion from the party grew the histor­ ic coalition which soon after put Charles Summer and Henry Wilson in the sen­ ate of the United States. Many of these Boston gentlemen, we remember, wore white or light-colored kid gloves on the occasion, and their applause was diverse, as one and another of the orator's utter­ ances affected the divergent prejudices of his auditory. The expression above quoted remained in the printed speech as Webster made it, but another, still more offensive to the Wliigs proper, was eliminated from the verbatim report as it stood in type in the office of the Bos­ ton Atlas. The Whig committee sent a delegation to Mr. Webster asking that j the obnoxious phrase mightbe cancelled J before the speech went to press. "No," I said Mr. Webster; "let it stand as I | spoke it!" Not to be battled in their so- j licitude for its expurgation, one of the i committee renewed the request in a note | to Mr. Webster, enclosing a ch".-k for I $500. Mr. Webster's reply to this was j that the expression could as well be left out; that the speech with that omitted would sufficiently express his vi.^ws on the points to which it related. So the speech went to press without it. There may be those among our Boston con­ temporaries, solicitous for Mr. Webster's fame, who may be moved to dispute the substantial accuracy of what is here re­ lated. The fact, in its main details and chief significance, we believe to lie sus­ ceptible of proof, the lapse of thirty-two years neveitheless. Not Swearing. A real pretty, precise and polite young girl went to the dentist's and having t difficult case the dentist had to put the rubber-dam in her mouth, as is usual. The girl stood it like a little man, anc whimpered, but when she had the tcetl all fixed, and came out, she was overheard to remark to her best friend as she held her head in her hands, that she never Bwore except when she was on the wit­ ness stand, but reallv she thought that thing would rubber-dam head off. The dentist had his head out of the window up stairs, and the shock threw his store teeth against the roof of his mouth with such force that the shingles were knock­ ed off in several places.--Steubenville Her ahl.
