CAN GUITEAU BB CONVICTED?
The removal of the President to Long
Branch has given rise to the question
whether Guiteau can be convicted in the
event of the President's death. The
Washington Star of the 12th instant,
which seems to have been hunting up
the authorities, publishes the follow
ing: The removal of the President to Long
Branch would seem, in the event of a
fatal termination of his injuries, to pre
clude the possibility of convicting his
assassin of murder. In a legal aspect
the case presented would be simply that
of a person who had received a mortal
wound in the District of Columbia,
from the effect of which his death had
taken place elsewhere, and under these
circumstances the court? of the Dis
trict would not have jurisdiction of the
offense as a homicide, but would be
confined to a consideration of the as
sault merely. At common law, mur
der, in common with other offences,
must be inqirred into in the county
wherein committed, and it was thorght
in England that where the mortal
stroke had- been given in one county
and death had happened in another
that the offense was not consummate
cr complete in either; that the jury of
the first county could not take notice of
the death which took place in the sec
ond, and ihat tjie jury in,ttie second
could not inquire of the wounding in
tne first, a many, tne statute 01 2 ana
of Edward VL was passed bv Parlia
ment,- which -provided-that in such
cases "the trial shall be in the county
where the death happens." -
JUDICIAL DECISIONS.
In this country the question has been
passed upon by the highest courts in
several ottbetates, In Virginia, in
the ease of the common weaita vs. .Lin
ton, the Court or Appeals were unani
mously of the opinion that the defend-
ant coma not ve triea ana convictea ol
he murder charged in the indictment,
which alleged the mortal stroke to have
been given in a county in Virginia and
the death of the person stneken at a
county in the state of Ohio. (2 Virgin
ia Cases, 205.) - In Mississippi, in the
case of Stoughton vs. The State, where
it appeared that the death wound was
inflicted in xme county while death- oc
curred in another, the High Court of
Errors and Appeals, in quashing .the
indictment, used the following lan-Ke:-
.
xne oetter opinion seems to nave
been that, by the common law, where
the blow was given in one county and
the death happened in another, the of
fender was not liable in either, (13 S'
W. and AL, 255.) .
The supreme court of New Jersey.
in the case of the State vs. Carter (3
Dutch, 499), held that an indictment
charging a felonious assault in New
York, and that the party injured came
into and died from its effects in New
Jersey, alleged no crime, against the
State. The concluding portion of the
opinion of the Court is as follows:
-it is saia uiatu weaonottaxe ju
risdiction the defendant will go unpun-
isbeav inasmucn as the party; injured
not dying in New .York he could not be
fiilty of murder there. But New
ork . may provide by law for such
cases, and if she does not it is their
fault and not ours."
The ouestien was also considered in
North arolina in Orrell's case (1 Deer,
139), and Tennessee in Riley's case (9
Humph, 640), and in the year 1809 the
old Circuit Court of the District of
Columbia, - sitting in Alexandria
which plaee ws then a part of the dis
triet gavejudgment for the defend
ant in the case of the .United States vs.
Bladen, id which case the prisoner had
been indicted for manslaughter, and in
wnicn it appeared mat tne mortal mow
was given in Alexandria and the death
happened in St, -Mary's county, in the
State of Maryland. v The case is report
ed in volume i, at page 543, of Cranch'a
Circuit Court Report and . although
tne defendant had been found gcdlty as
Indicted, the Court held that under, the
bire am stances the offense was not com'

Condlttou off the Crops
Washington, Sept 15, The follow
ing reports of the condition of the cot
ton and tobacco crops were issued at
noon from the Department of Agricul
ture: Cotton. Reports of September 1st, to
this department show a very heavy de
cline in the condition of the cotton
since last: report, owing to prolonged
drought which has prevailed in all sec
tions of the cotton belt. The condition
&6 reported in 72 is a decrease of 16 per
cent during the month of August, and
as compared with returns at the same
date last year is 19 per cent less. The
reports are from 330 counties of the cot
ton sections, and are somewhat less in
number than usually received. The
number of counties and averages are
as follows; North Carolina, 42 coun
ties, average 72. South Carolina, 22
counties, average 68. Georgia, 55 coun
ties, average 71. Florida, 14 counties,
average 87. Alabama, 33 counties, aver
age 80. Mississippi, 37 counties, aver
age 7d. Texas, 60 counties, average 65.
Arkansas, 31 counties, average 55. Ten
nessee, 21 counties, average 62.
Corn, The general average condition
of the corn on Septsmber 1st, was 60,
being 17 per cent, lower than the month
previous, and 6 per cent, lower than a
year ago at the same date. The cause
of the low condition existing in almost
every section of the country is the
drought New England has-Jieen less
affected by it than any' others section
east of the Mississippi, and reports are
an average of 90. In Wisconsin, Min
nesota and most of the territories there
has been more seasonable weather, and
the condition of the crop is correspond
ingly better. But in p'l other sections
reports show the effects .of un usually
dry seasons. From Illinois Missouri
and Kansas come serious complaints
of ravages by chinch bugs, added to the
prevailing drought and injury to crop
prospect is shown by the State averages
which are 58, 42 and 65 respectively.
TobaGco. Returns from correspond
ents give a very serious dec! :ne in pros
pects for the crop, being Lome 20 per
cent less than a month since, with the
exceptions of the States North of the
Delaware river and Wisconsin in the
west The universal complaint is
drought Kentucky and Illinois each
report little over half a crop, while
Tennessee and Missouri report less
than two-thirds. The average for the
whole country is 65 against 85 last
month, and 84 at this same date last
year.-

A nan with a Wonderful Wound.
Special to PhIL Times.
BALTmosE, Sept 11. Henry A.
Schumacher, an employe of the post
office in this city, was wounded during
the war and given up for dead. Two
months afterwards, when it was found
that despite his injuries, which had
been pronounced necessaaily fatal, the
man was still alive, the case was con
sidered so remarkable that in August
1864. a commission of twelve surgeons
examined him. Dr. Bliss was one of
the surgeons. They all, after an inves
tigation, pronounced the survival of
the man up to that time to have been
almost miraculous, and further said
that he could not possibly live ten
days. Schumacher lingered year after
year until 1872, when he had almost re
covered. He was then stricken with
paralysis, growing out of the wound,
and made a narrow escape from death.
To-day he is alive and hearty, and
watches the President's case with full
confidence in the latter's recovery.
Schumacher was shot through the body

said further that such an operation at

Dr. Agnew also denied the story and
said the first he had heard of it was in
the morning papers.
Dr. Bliss left for New York on the 11
o'clock train to attend to private busi
ness. Dr. Hamilton ventured an opinion
on the President's change, and of hope,
to a friend this morning, which is in
substance that the septic condition of
the President's blood will necessarily
cause a fluctuation of the pulse, temper
ature and respiration from time to
time until it is entirely eliminated:
that he considers it safe to say that the
resident win overcome the distur
bances which may occur from the im
purity of the blood and that it is alto
gether probable that various ameliora
tions will be occasioned before the pa
tient is entirely rid of blood poison.

fair grounds yesterday afternoon. The
nail was densely crowded and a panic
ensued. All efforts to quiet the strick
en people were of no avail, and in their
confusion they rushed hither and
thither, trampling eac'i other down.
Shrieks and groans filled the air. The
ore spread rapidly and tne mam build
ing with its contents was soon reduced
to ashes. The flames leaped across the
avenue to newspaper row, quickly
swallowing up the buildings of the
Times, Journal and Mail. The flames
next attacked the grand stand, in which
12,000 people were seated, watching the
races, and it was entirely consumed.
No lives lost as far as known. Loss,
$50,000.
