NEWS-NOTES BY THE WAYSIDE. The Gnltesm Trial Betlmated Coat 100,000 aioittsromery Blsvir Pre nonnceti Tilden the Comidff Slan The Blaine Star ThelfewCon greaalonal Kepreaentatloa, dec. Washington, D. C, Jan. 3, 1882. The Guiteau trial, like the snake, araga its loathsome length, but it differs from that venomous animal in that, at pres ent, it does not seem to have any end To-day the eighth week of the trial was begun and it will take at least two more weeks before it is concluded. In the meantime Guiteau continues to act the clown and the temple of justice is for the nonce turned into a circus. But despite these drawbacks and the disgrace that attaches to- the proceed ing, the assassin ef President Garfield is very securely wound up in the mesh es of the law and as far as circum stances will allow a prediction, he will be convicted.' He has arrived at this conclusion himself and so have his cdunsel and his relatives. Mr. John W. Guiteu, his brother, has said in a private Way, that he believes his broth er will will be hung. Those who have attended the court during the entire progress of the trial and have had op portunities to judge of the effect of the evidence upon the jury are certain of a verdict of guilty. The baliffs who at tend the jury in their walks during the day and sleep with them at night, from expressions dropped at times, say they have no doubt that a verdict of guilty will be rendered. Mrs. Scoville, hia sis ter, has become so convinced that her brother will be convicted that she has become really ill and is now confined to her bed. The general public here have made up their mind that there will be a first-class hanging match with Guiteau in the title role, and Warden Crocker, of the jail, is already in re ceipt of applications to witness the performance. From the question of hanging to the question of the, possible cost of trial is not a long step and that matter is now being fully discussed. It is impossible to say what the cost will be, but it is safe to say that for the trial alone it will reach fully 8 100,000. The expenses attending the President's ill,- J ness, funeral and burial approximate nearly $4,00,000, and thus it cost the nation $500,000. What sportsman or warrior of ancient or modern times, with a single bullet, has at the same time killed his man and made the country pay $500 000 for it? A few more killings of this kind would bank rupt the country. Your correspondent in his passing through the Interior Department yes terday, ran across that old time rock of democracy, Hun. Montgomery Blair. Mr. Blair, it will be remembered, was at one time Postmaster General of the United States, and for the past few years has been looked upon as a lieu tenant of Tilden. It was he who as much as any one person brought Tilden before the country i 1875 and after he was elected endeavored to have him put in the Presidential chair. Mr. Blair is now close on to seventy and his thin, silvery locks show the winters he has braved. His face is deeply fur rowed, but his eye is as bright and sparkling as ever. He converses flu ently and forcibly and when asked what he thought of the outlook in 1SS4 with a glance that bespoke his sinceri ty and hope said that the Democrats would surely win. This remark was not relished by a republican official who was sitting beside him who laughed a doubtful, scornful laugh. Mr. Blair continuing said there w.as no doubt that Tilden would be the Democratic standard bearer in 1884; that he would have been nominated in place of Han cock last time had he desired it. Mr. Blair warmed up with his subject and said Tilden now represented the pro gressiveness, the go-a-nead-iveness of the Democratic party, was the only man in it that possessed that old Jackson ian element, that in the past made the party strong and unconquerable. He said much else, but it was all in the same key, and when I left I was im pressed that he was, at least, a true friend ; whether he will prove an influ ential one the future must determine. It is, perhaps, a little premature to nominate candidates for 1884, even should Mr. Blair do so, but as a matter of fact, gossip that has floated around here for some time,is now assuming de finite shape and in official circles is con necting the name of Mr. Blaine, late Secretary of State, with the Democratic nomination in 1884. The papers here discuss the matter in dead earnest ; the Post, which ia known as a Blaine organ and is indeed backed by Blaine's money, never looses an opportunity to thrust him forward. Its editor, Mr. Hutchins, is now in the South with the intention, it is believed, of working up a Blaine movement in the South. The diorganized state of parties in the South makes such a movement possible and wire-politicians, here say that its success is by no means impossible. A new question has sprung up in relation to the opportionment of Re publicans in congress among the several States, under the tenth census. The system that has prevailed hitherto has been to assign to the States having the largest fraction after an equal di vision of the number of its inhabitants by the ratio of representation an extra representation until the difference be tween the minimum number resulting from such division and the maximum number of which the House shall be composed is filled. The new superin tendent of the census, Mr. Seaton, however, has suggested that this is not the true way to reach the result and that by this method the larger States may have a less number of inhabitants in their respective districts than in those of the smaller States, This arises from the seating of the fraction among a number of districts, in stead of a few. Mr. Seaton sug gests a table or series of tables showing the (number of inhabitants each State would have with 1, 2, 3, and so on representatives. Then divide the total population of the United States by the number of representatives fixed for the House to be composed of. As sign to each State as many representa tives as can be given with -population in each district above this quotient. To make up the difference between the minimum and the total numbers, an additional representative is given where the State would have the num ber nearest the ratio on a division by the next highest number. North Caro lina being neither one of the largest nor one of the smallest States is not ma terially affected by the new plan. Un der either plan she would be entitled to eight representatives on a calculation based on a total House at from 275 to 302, at which point she would get 0 by the new plan. The same condition would exist at 804 After that to 350, either plan would give her nine; beaee 302 by the new, or 304 by the old J)lan, are the figures for the whole: House that would give her the greatest rela tive strength, or her maximu.m strength in a minimum total. The old flan would giye South Carolina six and the - tl CHARLOTTE, N. C.j FRIDAY JANUARY 6, 1882. new plan five representatives, with a total or irom 275 to 278 inclusive. Either would then give six up to 323, wnen tne 01a pian wouia give seven ; at 329 both would give seven; at 330 the new 7 and the old 6; at 331 and up wards to sou, wouia give 7 oy either. Her favorite number for a total would be therefore 279, anything above that would decrease ner percentage of nu merical strength. Each State is gov erned by a similar case, but unfortu nately hardly two States gain their maximum percentage at the same point, and the result is usuolly a compromise upon a ngure nearest to the views of the larger States. The new plan, as it has a claim to equity, and at the same time is favorable to, the larger States, is likely to be the one adopted. Assum ing this to be so the several States would then stand, as regards their most favorable number for the total of the House, as follows: Total of Reps. House. Alabama 8 297 Arkansas 5 292 California .,-.. . 6 326 Colorado . . 1 Connecticut ?fi ; 4 301 Delaware l Florida 2 349 Georgia 11 336 Hlinois 18 275 Indiana 12 281 Iowa 10 286 Kansas 6 278 Kentucky 10 280 Louisiana 6 298 Maine 4 287 Maryland 6 300 Massachusetts 11 288 Michigan 10 285 Minnesota 5 299 Mississippi 8 330 Missouri 13 276 Nebraska 3 275 Nevada 1 New Hampshire 2 New Jersey 8 331 NewYork 31 284 North Carolina 9 302 Ohio 19 275 Oregon 1 Pennsylvania 2G 282 Rhode Island 2 340 South Carolina 6 279 Tennessee 11 335 Texas 11 324 Vermont 2 277 Virginia 9 275 West Virginia 4 304 Wisconsin 8 283 When the figure is not giAea no charge occurs in the state between 275 and 350, which are assumed as the ex tremes in the calculations. Florida would be entitled to two under the old plan from 276 to 286, one from 287 to 301 and then two again, while the new plan does not give her two until 349 is reached. With the votes they now have in the House there are enough States whose interest it is to have the number below 285 to command a majority vote, but in fixing the number at 285 Illinois, Indi ana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Vermont would each have a member less than in the present House and New Pork two less. Illinois would regain her member at a slight cost of per centage in power at 289; Ohio in the same way at 293; Pennsylvania at 296; Indiana at 311; and New York On a total House of 311 members by Mr. Seaton's system Florida, Main, Rhode Island and Vermont would each have one less than in the present House. The gains would be : Arkansas, Calif or nia, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri. Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and West Virginia, each 1 ; Minnesota 2: Kansas 3 ; and Texas 4. Or on a basis of 307 Indiana would also lose one and Ohio, Illinois and Penn sylvania would gain none. It is more than probable that either 307 or 311 will be toe number hnally agreed upon bv the House as the number of represen tatives in Congress until the next ap pointment m 1891 or 1892. Personal. General J. M. Leach whom his friends call the North Caro lina Mahone, is in the city. Judge E. w. Makay 01 Charleston, . tjaroiina, has arrived here to push his claim to a seat in the House. Mr. Bailey of Char lotte, clerk in money order office, has re turned to his desk. Senator Mahone is a frequent visitor to the Post Office De partment. New lear s Day was gen erally observed here, calling being almost universal. Mrs. Ex-Congressman Yeates was among the ladies who bad many callers. It is not expected that more than a quorum will be pre; sent on Thursday. T. C. Howe, the new postmaster general, is a stalwart radi cal of the narrowest type. A sweeping change in post offices throughout the South may now be looked for. It is generally believed that Sargent of Cal ifornia will be Secretary of the Interior. He is a ring politician. Ths President's last seleciions do not compare with his first. President Arthur keeps a beauti ful picture of his wife on the centre table of his office, Each day it is deco rated with fresh flowers. His wife was a Miss Hendon of Virginia, and died about three years ago. Forty-Seven JHilllena in New Build ing-, From the New Tork If all and Express. During the past year there has been a general stampede in the building trade such as was never known before in this city or any other city throughout the world. At the present time there is no abatement in this activity and so long as the weather will permit there will be plenty or building. T he official figures show that 2,421 buildings were constructed during 1881, at a cost of $47,784,670. Qf these, 791 were first class dwellings, 156 flats, 584 tenements, 6 churches, 6 schools and so on. The largest amount expended was in the construction of first-class dwellings, the amount being over $18,000,000. There is but little difficulty in renting these houses at enormous rents, and specula tors who can command capital and bold enough see for themselves a gi gantic fortune in a very few years. Af ter the first-class dwellings come the English and French flats, the amount invested being over $9,000,000, and then tenements with stores, $4,000,000 and upwards. Shot Over a Game, of Card. Galveston, Jan. B. A special to the News from Houston, says a report has reached this city of the killing of a man named Schmeicble by Rembrook Dyer, an old and respected citizen.
