The number of lives lost was 18,65a Mayor Whyte, of Baltimore, pro poses to devise some plan whereby wa ter shall be furished free, leaving the maintenance of the water supply to be provided for as other taxes. Many Virginians are now busily en gaged in accounting for the defeat of the Democracy. The easiest way in the world to account for the defeat is to say that Mahone had organization, money and votes. Judge Tourgee's new book is enti tled "John Fax," and in it he pictures some of the more attractive and roman tic characteristics of Southern society. Politics and the negro are left out Augusta Ga, is said to be a very rich little city. The millionaires number over fifteen, the half million men quite numerous, and the hundred thousand dollar folks too numerous to mention. The following fact will show how ef fectively Mahone worked up the vote in Virginia. In 1880 Garfield got only 12$ votes in Richmond, last Tuesday Mahone's candidates ot 3,328, an in crease 0t 1,200. Democrats in Brooklyn went in and helped to elect a Republican mayor to Clean out a Democratic boss. Very Well But who ever heard of Republi cans electing a Democrat to clean out one of their bosses?

Streets are lined with two story brick houses, each one being built to accommodate one family, at a rental of $100 a year with no taxes. There is good reason for saying that the President in his forthcoming mess sage will urge uponCongress a reduction in internal taxes to the extent of at least 97,000,000. The tax on medicines and bank checks he will recommend to be swept away altogether. The Rome Courier thinks that the Mormon propaganda In North Georgia is not wholly to be deplored.

It the following be true as Guiteau's cwnsel proposeto Bhowln court, they have pretty good grounds u j6n which to plead insanity : They propose to show that nis ratner was not a person of well balanced intellect; that he had two un -fcles bis. rawer Drotbers who died insane, and two aunts bis father's sis-tAr-who also died Insane. Both these annta had Insane children.

V wm the a-?;!? .Inst - - , , , . t i - WANTED A LEADER. I For the past twenty years the Demo cratic party has been , practically irithr.. out a leader, without organizationwith out a policy. Within that time it has never gone into a national contest exf cept but once, when it was not fore doomed to defeat And yet there are, and have been all this time, some of the biggest brains and most trusted men in the land in that patty, and among its f ol lowers.counts men devoted to principle and as patriotic as any men the sun ever shone upon But it lacks the oohesive ness,the discipline, the organization, the leadership which have characteriz ed the Republican party and carried it to victory in so many State and nation al contests. In all these twenty years, there never has been a thorough, sys tematic national canvass made but one and that was by Samuel J. J. Tilden, -vho assumed the direc tion of it himself, laid his own plans, and selected his agents to carry them out and he was elected, but there the triumph ended, for that very event of leadership, organization and policy, tailed us in the supreme moment, ' and the Republicans with their strategy and dash seized the prizs that we had won. By the strategy of Gen, , Logan they elected David Davis, the man they were afraid of , to the United States7 Senate, and took him off the supreme bench, giving them a majority of Republican judges an the electoral commission, and thus made the 8 to 7 a possibility. By their boldness they intimidated their opponents, and by their discipline and "stick" they carried their conspira cy out to a successful issue. It was said at the time that Mr. Conkling, who dis approved of the proceedings, would side with the Democrats in the Senate and take position against the resul of the 8 to 7 count, but when the time came discipline was brought to bear on him and he slunk into the cloak room where he remained until the infamous decis ion was . ratified. More recently, the majority in the Senate hung upon the vote of two men Mahone, of Virginia, and Davis, of Illinois. Because Mahone declared himself an independent he was pronounbed at once an enemy and was driven over into the ranks of the ene my where he will no doubt remain. That he would have gone there eventu ally there is much probability, but the vigorous attacks made upon him left no where else to go to if he had been bo inclined. As a matter of policy it was judicious to hold him even on the inde pendent role if it could be done, in stead of forcing him to seek companion ship in Republican ranks. Then the question of the Presidency of the Sen ate came up. David David had as a rule been voting with the Democrats, and they could very consistently have sup ported him for President, and thus bound him to them, but they saw fit to compliment Mr. Bayard, who it is said was rather indifferent than otherwise to his own election: whereupon the Republicans with their usual tactics, as soon as they got the two Senators from New York admitted, nominated Mr Davis, elected him and ratified Mr.Bay ard, after a remarkably brief elevation, to step down to the plane below, which he did very much to his own chagrin and very much to the disgust of his outwitted Democratic colleagues. And thus the Republicans secured Mr. Da vis and kept the Democrats in the minority. When it was suggested that the De mocrats in the Senate ought to vote for a Republican because a Republican had been elected to that position in the per son of Gen. Arthur we opposed it -for we thought 'the Democrats ought to avail themselves of every opportunity the law or circumstances gave them to become masters of the situation, and while they could not have consistently voted for Mr. Anthony, as suggested, they could have voted for Mr. Davis whose tendencies and whose votes in the main were Democratic. We do not believe in nor endorse an abandonment of principle when it comes to that but when it becomes a matter of policy. without the abandonment of principle we are tired of this thing of being ever lastingly outwitted, and everlastingly beaten. So in our matters of public ' policy. The tariff, the money question, internal revenue, internal improvements and a host of other questions which become matters of public discussion. " The Democracy of the East takes one viewa the Democracy of the West another, the leaders differ, the masses differ, and they go into the canvass' with discord ant views, one set pulling down where another has built up, platforms antag onistic to candidates and candidates re jecting platforms. The consequence is want of unity and inevitable defeat Let Republicans differ as they will, and wrangle in conventions, when called upon for action, they move in line un der a common leadership and march to win, sinking individual or sectional differences in obedience to the supreme command. They have leadership and organization, which obeys, and are vic torious. We have neither and are beaten, and always will be until some master mind, with brains to contrive, and magnetism to command a follow ing, seizes the - discordant elements, binds them together, and forms a party with a leadership and with a policy, a party that lives in the realities of the present, and not in the traditions and in the dreamings of the past Atlanta Constitution : Mr. C. A-Hege, of the Salem iron works of North Caro lina, writes the Constitution that he has organized a party of 100 people of that village to visit the exposition, and they will leave Salem on the evening of the 28th instant and reach Atlanta on the 29th. Mr. Heee is an exhibitor. and sets an example that might well be followed. .. ' .

CJontrary to what might have; been ex pected, there was but little popular" In terest manifested in the event, the spec tators being composed chiefly of roughs," "tramps" and "cranks," so to speak. Whether this motley gang are called there by curiosity to hear he case tried, or by some other motive, of course cannot be told, as thus far; the trial has not progressed sufficiently to elicit any demonstration bh' their part but it is somewhat remarkable, to say the least of it, that there should be such a preponderance of these peculiar ele ments. It is rather singular that that there should be such a want of concert be tween the prisoner's counsel as was shown when one of them made a mo tion in court for an extension of time to prepare for the defence, and the oth er, seconded by the prisoner himself ob jected. They evidently rely upon the insanity plea, and have not probably given mucn attention to. any otner phase of the case, although Guiteau in the speech which he succeeded in de livering, charges the doctors with hav ing done what his "poor marksman ship" failed to do. It is not likely that his lawyers will follow that line of ar gument, insanity, though they may possibly maki it a part of the defense. Their hope, and their - only hope is to rely upon the plea of insanity, which may and probably will save turn, if they can prove all they say. .they. Jean. The opinion seems to be pretty general throughout the country nOW that the man's mind is unhinged, and as the in dignation that followed the atrocity of the act has subsided with time and the growing conviction of the assassin's in sanity ; law will take the place of pas sion in his trial, and if shown- that he is really insane the showing will be ac quiesced in by the people at large, who now ask for justice but not for ven geance. He has shown himself to be too abject and miserable a creature to call for continued resentment which has given place to contempt if not to pity, to contempt if not crazy, to pity if he is. Mr. Locke ("Nasby"), who has recent- returned from a tour of Ireland, and who is in Chicago, declares that the squalor, misery, and helplessness of the poor people of Ireland exceed the pow er of words to describe. Their condi tion is infinitely worse than was that of the blacks of our Southern States du ring slavery. According to his repre sentations, the farmers of America have more regard for the comfort and care of their horses and cattle than the landlords of Ireland have for the com fort and the welfare of their tenants. Gnlteau'a Speech Inspired by the Iord to Rem ore Mr. Garfield The Doctor Responsible for Bis Death Washington, Nov. 15. In the speech wnicn iiuiteau naa prepared for deliv ery in court to-day. he says he is charg ed with murdering one James A. Gar field. Nothing can be more absurd, be cause General uarnela died of malprac tice. Gen. Garfield was a good man but a weak politician. Being President ne was in a situation to do vast harm to the Republic and he was doing it by an unwise use of patronage, and the Lord and himself took the responsibili ty of removing him; that his duty to the Lord and to the American people overcame his personal feelings towards uen. uarneid, ana ne sougnt to remove him. Not being a marksman, Gen. Garfield was not fatally shot but in competent physicians finished the work and they, not himself, are responsible for his death. He then speaks of the breach in the Republican party and his resolve to remove tne president and claims that the Deity ordered him to ire the shot He refers to his work on theology, insanity in his family, his married life and his life in prison, and appeals to those whom he says he has put in position and to the general pub ic to send mm money tor nis defense.

A low ceiled. large-sized, square room, in the eastern wine or tne uity iiail. well iisntea Dy three wide windows in the northern and southern walls, is the, court room of the District's Supreme Court, crimi nal temv in which the trial of Charles J. Guiteau, for the murder of the late President Garfield, opened to-day. At the eastern end of the room is a plat form containing the Judge's seat, with tne cierss desk ngnt below it; a taoie which usually occupies the greater part of the space alloted to the bar has been removed, and instead of it several smaller tables has been arranged for the accommodation of counsel and report ers, in tne western half of tne room a platform has been raised, on which are arranged some hundred chairs for the use or spectators. The seats assigned to jurors occupy a section of the room on the northeastern end. There is hardly any noticeable excitement outside- of the building and no very great pressure to obtain admission to the court room. As soon as the public door was opened the spectators seats were immediately filled ior tne most part witha rather roughly dressed set of youne men, including many who would come under the designation of froughs," tramps" and "cranks." Some sail a QoemauiBa.uavo gut anawitcn ed in among the crowd. In the mean time the, lawyers in the case had got into their, seats : The District Attorney, Judge Porter, of New York, and Walter D.

Mrs. Sco ville.occuj)jed;a,s.eatclose,.to her hus-, band, having her brother John on one side and her brother, the prisoner, on the Othen. At 10 d clock Judge Walter S. Coxe entered the court room and court was declared formally opened by the crier in old Norman form. Immediately thereafter the prisoner. Guiteau; was brought into the court room by ths marshal and his deputies. He looked in mucn oetter condition physically and o the wise than he last appeared when in the Same room to plead to tne indictment, still ne had the same restless, furtive expression as of a hunted wolf, which characterized him before. He was at once relieved of his handcuffs and took his seat beside his Sister. One of his first movements was to thrust his hand into one of his pock ets and half take out. a roll of paper. Mr. Scoville, however, in dumb play, ordered him to put it back and he did so. Then the district attorney rose and declared the readiness of the prosecu tion to proceed with the case. M. Rob inson aroge to make his plea for still more time to prepare for the defence Whicn appeared not . to meet the ap- provai oi uuueau. .aai tne time tnat itoDinson was spe axing, uuiteau was carrying on what appeared to be re monstrance with Scoville who was ap parently trying to quiet and, suppress him. No sooner had Robinson taken his seat than the prisoner rose and in an excited manner addressed the-court and stated that he wished to be heard, In vain Mr. Scoville endeavored to make him resume his seat and remain quiet. He was irrepressible; in a ner vous but pretty distinct manner he pro ceeded with a speech as follows: I was not aware that my counsel Mr, Robinson intended this morning to make application for a postponement, and I desire to be heard in my own be half in this matter at the very thresh- hold of the case. I am charged with a murderous attempt and I desire to be heard in my own behalf. Court: This is not a nrooer time to enter unon the defence. The only question before the court is wnetner runner time snouid be allowed the counsel to prepare for the defence. Prisoner (Emphatical ly), so far as I am concerned I don't want further time. We are ready to try the case now. To Deputy Marshal, wno euueayoreu w resume uie prison er, "will you be quiet" ? Court.

Mr. itoDinson pressed nis claim ror a postponement. uwimr totne opposition or scovuie and the prisoner to the -opposition of Scoville and the prisoner to the appli cation of Robinson for an extension of time the court stated that for the pre sent the case, should proceed as far at least as swearing the jury was concern ed, and then he would consider the question of extension. At 11 o'clock the work of obtaining a jury began ; the three first that nresented tnemseives being disqualified, two on . the ground tnat they, naa iormea nxea opinions on the case and the other on the ground that he had conscientious scruples on the subject of capital . punishment.
