The Assassin, Guiteau.
The first day's proceedings of the
trial appear in another column of
this number of tho Journal. Tho
second day was principally taken up
in selecting a jury, which resulted
in approving the following gentle
men : John P. Hamlin, restauranter ;
Fred W. Brandenburg, cigar maker;
Henry J. Bright, retired merchant ;
Chas. J. Stewart, retired merchant ;
Thos. H. Langley, grocer; Michael
Shepperd, grocer; Saml. S. Hobbs,
plasterer; Geo. W. GateB, machin
ist; Ralph Wormly, laborer; Wm.
Brader, grocer ; Thos. Heinbine, ma
chinist; Joseph Pratler, commission
merchaut. The opinion is express
ed that, generally speaking, it is a
good, average jury.
After the jury was sworn Col.
Corkhill, the district attorney, pre
sented the case by a splendid open
ing address for the prosecution, re
ferring to Guiteau's persistent appli
cation to Garfield for office, and
being constantly refused, how he
conceived the terrible crime of
taking his life, and that bis actions
before the shooting were those of a
sane man.
Secretary Blaine waB the first
witness examined, who related all
the particulars of the shooting- which
did not vary from the account bo
frequently given to the public, of
the shooting at the Baltimoro and
Potomac depot.
Guiteau has been noisy and very
boisterous thus far in the trial, so
much so, that Judgo Cox threatened
to remove him from tho court room.
A number of witnesses were ex
amined relative to the shooting, but
no one related the fact that we re
member of seeing Guiteau fire the
shots but that makes no material
difference, as he admits that he shot
at the dead president, but denies
that he killed him.
A section of tho spinal column of
the assassin's victim was brought
into court and offered in ovidence,
which created quito a sensation. Dr.
D. W. Bliss was on the stand, and
his testimony was coutinuod in iden
tifying
points.
the spine, and on other
Plesro PBeHmoB in.
Of course anything which touches
upon the general question of stock,
will bo of concern to many of our
Nebraska readers, as this is their
greatest moneyed interest.
Our state has seen many losses
on account of severe storms when
sufficient shelter was not provided,
and also from disease, contagiouB
and otherwise, but so far, the mor
tality has been very light compared
with eastern states.
These paragraphs aro written to
call and fix the attention of our
readers upon tho fact that sister
states have realized the importance
of protecting themselves against the
importation of diseased cattle, and
that it becomes Nebraskans to do
what they can in tho same direction.
Gov. Cullom of Illinois has issued
a proclamation in pursuance of an
act of the General Asscmbly'of that
state entitled "An act to suppress and
prevent the spread of pleuro-pueu-raonia
among cattle," approved May
31st. Ho states therein that he has
good reason to believe that pleuro
pneumonia has become epidemic in
certain localities of the states of Con
necticut, New York, New Jersey,
Delaware and Maryland, mention
ing the particular counties, and as
required by the act, proceeds to pro
hibit the importation of any do
mistic animal of the bovine species
into Illinois from the infected
districts named, unless accompa
nied by a certificate of health prop
erly signed by a duly authorized
veterinary inspector. The punish
ment prescribed by the Illinois law
is a fine not less than $1,000 and not
more than $10,000, besides liability
for all damage.
Every infected animal brought in
to Nebraska might cost thousands of
dollars injury to our best interest,
and foV this reason all good citizens
should be on strict guard in the pur
chase of cattle from the states named.
The Pioneer-Press special from
Durand, Wis., says : "Ed. Maxwell
was examined on the afternoon of
the 19th, and pleaded not guilty.
Examination was waived, and on
leaving the court room, the officers
were overpowered, though they
made a brave resistance, and the
prisoner was taken by a hundred
determined men, who had collected
from all parts of the county, and in
a brief space was hanging from a
limb, near the court house. The
account says tho citizens deprecate
the action of the mob, but were
powerless to prevent it. The mat
ter was evidently well arranged and
skillfully carried out. After the
hanging, the crowd dispersed in
good order and our usually quiet
village shows no signs of tho fearful
excitement that prevailed during the
day. The reader will remember that
thia-Bame Ed. Maxwell was recently
arrested by the sheriff of Hall coun
ty, this state, and taken back the
other day to Wisconsin, passing
through this city, but from tho time
of his arrest he denied his identity
and said bo was not Ed. Maxwell,
but at Hersey, his old home, on his
way back, ho- was recognized by
scores of people, who exclaimed :
"That's him," or "How aro you,
Ed?" After this, he dropped all
pretence that he was not Maxwell,
alias Williams, and Bald, point blank,
that he and hiB brother Lon shot the
Colemans.
The growing strength of tho move
ment by ex - Senator Paddock's
friends to 6 ecu re his appointment as
secretary of tho interior is as grati
fying as it is fitting. The western
press, which represents those who
are most directly interested, has but
one sentiment, which is expressed
by the Rio Grande Republican, Las
Cruces, N. M., as follows:
The name of Senator A. S. Tad
dock, of Nebraska, is prominently
mentioned in connection with the
secretaryship of the Interior, to suc
ceed Kirkwood, and his friends,who
are influential, are earnestly urging
him for the place. Tho portfolio of
the interior should be in the bauds
of a western man, and wo know of
none, among tho available, who is
better fitted for this important po
sition, or who would give more
general satisfaction throughout tliq
west, than Senator Paddock. He is
thoroughly conversant with Indian
affairs as well as the laws and forms
of governing and regulating ihe dis
posal of the public lands, and is
identified with the interests of the
western states and territories. Lin

November Election.
We have been unable to date to
secure particulars and returns that
would be entirely reliable, but we
bolievo we have gathered enough
returns to warrant us in saying that
tho Republican party has generally
been victorious.
There is but little doubt but what
the Republicans have carried tho
following states: Nebraska state
ticket is elected by a majority of
20,000 to 25,000. Minuosota, Illin
ois, Wisconsiu, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylva
nia. The Readjusters have carried the
State of Virginia, electing the gov
ernor and a majority of tho legisla
ture, but all the other southern states
have gone Democratic.
Tho Democrats claim that they
have carried the stale ticket in New
York, but we have been unable to
find the reliable figures to prove
such a result.
Two hundred and fifty delegates
attended tho Tariff Convention in
Chicago on the 15th. Ex-Governor
Bullock, of Georgia, presided at the
morning session, aud in the after
noon the chair was taken by Hon.
Wm. McKiuloy, of Ohio. John W.
Hinton, of Milwaukee made an ad
dress with rcforonco to tho late la
mented President as a protectionist.
Soveral resolutions were read and
submitted to tho committee, after
which the convention adjourned till
next morning. During tho meeting
on tho 16th, among other things
transacted interesting specchos were
made by prominent manufacturers
in favor of protection to American
industries, and introducing facts and
figuros proving that by it alone
America might look for a contin
uation of her present prosperous
condition.
The Omaha Herald predicts that
in two years from now Nebraska
will bo a decisively Democratic
state. The Herald has never had
the seal of success placed upon
Its political prophecies, and there
fore its prognostications may be
taken with many grains of allow
ance. The Herald would command
better success by adhering more
closely to its base as a strictly relig
ous paper. In the moautimo it will
be just as well for the republican
party of Nebraska to take note of
the local lessons of the recent cam
paign. Col. J. II. Wells was arraigned
iu the Tombs police court the other
day for examination, on tho charge
of attempting to blackmail Jay
Gould, but his council waived an
examination, and the prisoner was
remanded. Wells sent letters to
Gould staling that he would be ruin
ed if stocks continue to advance, and
before taking his own life ho would
have the satisfaction of killing
Gould, and that, as stocks advanced
ho warned Gould to prepare for
death, as he .intended killing him
first and himself afterward.
A late number of the Lincoln
Globe contains a detailed, lengthy
report of a committee appointed
to investigate the account of the
county clerk and treasurer of Lau
caster county. These investigations
are becoming quite popular, and are
proving rather beneficial to tho pub
lic service. It seems that generally
a considerable amount of fees which
the law requires to be turned into
the caunty treasury, is unaccount
ed for.
The sensational story published
the other day in Borne of the papers
of the horrible murder of Miss Ellen
Kessner, a. pupil of the Normal
School at Englewood, III., turns out
to be simply an accidental death, by
being run over by a railroad con
struction train and instantly killed.
The young lady was of excellent
character, quito a favorito among
her collego mates, and her tragic
death awakens much sympathy.
The arrest of Tobin, tho Fenian,
and tho document seized at the time,
relate to the establishment, by force
of arms, of an Irish republic. They
reveal the existence of an extensive
organization known as tho Royal
Irish Republican Society, with num
erous members. It is believed that
the books, rules and list of members
of tho society will throw light on the
existence of similar organizations
elsewhere.
Posimaster-General HattoNjOo

Frank Hatton, First Asst. Post
master General, has discontinued the
post-office at Shackelford, l.iis and
Queon county, Va., for the reason
that tho citizens of the town refused
to rent Goalder, the post-master, a
room, or permit him to build an
office, becauso he is a readjuster and
all tho citizens are democrats.
Forty thousand applications were
pending last week before tho land
court in Ireland. A largo number
of the applications have recently
been made, which has compelled the
judges to sit until midnight. Every

A grand National Tariff Conven
tion ia to be held in New York on
the 29th and 30th insts, which bids
fair to be a strong demonstration in
favor of protection. More than 450
delegates have already been ap
pointed, who will represent $1,000,
000,000, capital invested in all branch
es of industry.
The steamer Bohemia arrived the
other day in New York, bringing
160 Jews, the first that found an
asylum in Spain from persecutions
in Russia and Germany the past
summer. Tho emigrants arc prin
cipally agriculturists strong, hardy

The Imbecile Asylum located near
Columbus, Ohio, was burned on the
morning of, tho 18th. The loss to
tho stato will bo nearly $150,000.
Tho 614 pupils and all employes
were safely removed from the build
