Our usual amount of the report of the most important evidence in the Guiteau trial, which closed the tes timony on both sides, was prepared for this issue, but was crowded out to give place to other matter, and will appear next week. Fourteen special instructions were asked for from the court by the counsel for the prisoner. The commencement of the argument on the points of law began on the 7th, by counsel for the prosecution, Mr. Davidge opening the discussion. Many interruptions from counsol and prisoner during the day, but Mr. Scoville and Reed got in at least a part of their argu ments on a part of the points of in structions asked for, and the court adjourned until Monday.

Airs, .beatnerman carried off with her three trunks filled with silverware and valuables, and $1,200 in money.

Nance county, in days long paBt, has been the scene of hard fought and bitterly contested battles for supremacy, but never has the outlook previous to the engagement had a more threatening, or live, appearance than does that which seems to be almost ready to break upon us in the shape of a "set to" between those two great corporations the U. P. and B. & M. railroads. Both, we have it from very good authority, are sur veying a route through Nance coun ty. The B. & M. from Central City north, making a point in or near Fullerton the object of their survey, while the U.

Boone County Argus. The congressional committee in vestigating the treasury contingent fund, have examined two more wit nesses. One of them, L. W. Vail conducted the Washington World, a Sherman campaign organ, prior to the Chicago convention. It is charg ed that the type for that establish ment was obtained witbont payment therefor, from the government print ing office, and sinecure and govern ment appointments given to em ployes on the paper. Mr. Vail holds a position as special agent of the treasury department, one sou a clerkship, and another, a mere lad, a raessengership. Paul Jones, the other witness, was foreman of the treasury cabinet, who submitted a memoranda of the work done at different times during the year 1881, upon Secretary Sherman's house, stable, etc., and charged to the diff erent bureaus and divisions of the department. The data is very ex explicit, giving the date of all the work done, the time occupied, mate rial used, and the branch of the treasury department to which it was charged, with the amount charged. The Lkdies' Land League meeting recently held in Dublin, was not in terfered with by the police. Tl-ree bundles of copies of the United Ire land, 6ent the ladies from London, were seized. The Boston express on tho Bos ton and Maine, at Kennebeck, on the night of the 1st., while crossing the bridge at Cole's corner, by the bridge falling, was thrown down an embauknient.- The cars immediately caught .fire and were destroyed. There were about a hundred pas sengers on hoard. One man was killed and twenty wouuded. Further testimony before the senate committee to investigate the expenditure ot the treasury contin gent fund was takeu on the 4th. It is a subject of remark .that with the exceptiou of W. Paul Brown, every witness who has thus far appeared before the commission, although placed under no restrictions by them, absolutely refuses to say a word about the nature of the exami nation. Philhip Aglet, a farmer residing a few miles from Topeka, was re cently murdered in bis house,which was burned to conceal the crime. Suspicion, however, rested upon W. E. Graham, a uephew of Agfey, and he was arrested,, charged with the crime, and made a full confession stating that he killed his uncle for his money. A mob of two or three hundred men subsequently gathered, burst open the jail, overpowered tho guard aud took Graham and hanged him to a telegraph pole in front of tho jail. A very large portion of party po litical strife aud bad feeling engen dered among politicians and promi nent meu engaged iu ruuuing political parties, is brought about by the newspapers of the country tol erating the publication of articles based upon mere suppositions such as the following: "A decided im pression exists in some quarters." 'Gossip credits." "There eeems to be little doubt." ('It is thought by some of the wise men," etc:, etc. Every political writer of such arti cles has a motive for throwing oui to tho public his "decided impres sions," which motive is usually con cealed from the public. Who kuow? in the article which we publish from the Tribune's New York special what was the motive of the writer. Wo can only reasonably suppose that it was not intended to continue the kind and harmonious feeling hereto fore existing between the distin guished men named in it, but must have been written for another pur pose entirely. Publishers of news papers, by exercising an ordinal' amount of care, can readily detect all such mischievous publications, and should promptly exposo them. Read the article and judge for your selves : "The Tribune's New York special says: A very decided impression exists in some quarters that Gen. Logan is preparing the way for his own nomination in 1884, and that he has been awakeued to the possibility of a very dangerous rivalry in bis own state. Gen. Logau is credited with the nomination of Mr. Lincoln by Gen. Garfield, aud has always entertained the warmest friendship for the secretary ot war. Lincoln is a hard fighter, but a square fight er; therefore it is impossible to credit him with the jealousy of Mr. Logan which Is now ascribed to him. At the same time, it is tbo't not unlikely that Mr. Logan fully realizes the advantage, great or small, which Mr. Lincoln might have in certain contingencies and he would not be slow to counteract them. He would hardly, however, suggest a method which would be likely to bring Mr. Lincoln's name into special prominence. .Gossip credits President Arthur and his stalwart friends with an intention of making Mr. Lincoln in certain con tingencies the candidate of the con vention. The third terra idea is dead, and there eeems to be little doubt that, with the exception of Logan, the intention is to secure for Gen. Arthur a renomination. The condition of the party and the de velopment at the republican conven tion itself might make that renomi nation impossible, or if possible, presage certain defeat. In that event, it is thought by some of the wise men, that already these stalwart leaders have in view the bringing forward of Mr. Lincoln." Commissioner's Proceeding's. December 27th 1881. Full Board present. Reading of mintes of previous meeting!) was de ferred until afternoon. Jacob Ernst, road overseer of dis trict No. 1, reported that F.
