Mil. BEST "BUSTED."
We have it from an entirely reliable
source that Mr. Best and his Boston
syndicate has failed to meet the first
payment for the lease of the Atlantic &
North Carolina railroad, due on the 1st
day of January. It is understood that
he asked an extension of time until yes
terday, and up to the very latest ac
counts he had not been able to raise the
money. Our informant tells us that all
his employes have left him, because he
cannot pay them.
The idemnity fuud of $50,000 deposi
ted in the Paciflc Bank of Boston, if it
ever existed, wa3 lost by the failure of
that institution, as announced some
weeks ago, and the Midland scheme,
hitherto on paper only, vanishes into
very thin air. We suggest a wake over
the Best-Boston fizzle, and nominate
Goyernor Vance as chief mourner.
fact that his case has lately grown des
perate, and often he makes frantic ef
forts to Influence the jury by transpa
rent stories about the condition or
bublic opinion. Aeain, he is calm and
self-satisfied, talking with easy confi
dence of his acauittal. But he is grow
ing more nervous in his manner day by
day, and at the culmination of the case,
when a verdict is renaerea, l anticipate
such an outburst as will cast into
shadow all of his previous demonstra
tions. If he hangs, he will not do so
passively. He will fight hard to the
fast, and there will be some awful spectacles.
THE BATTLE FOR THE SPOII.3,
Our advices from Washington lead
to the conclusion that there will be
some pretty lively scrimmaging done
between the opposing Republican fac
tions in this State over the federal of
fices, the fight for the collectorship in
the 5th and 6th districts, promising to
be especially lively. In Xhe 5th there
are at least a half dozen aspirants for
Collector Everitfs place. Among them
some who, it is said, were on his bond,
and would now like to take his scalp.
As he was a very active Sherman man
when John was figuring for support be
fore the Chicago convention met, and
got his appointment over Wheeler who
was removed at the personal request of
Sherman, the presumption is that he is
not in first-class standing with the pres
ent administration, which is not under
many obligations to Mr. Sherman. It
is alleged though as far as we know
there are no charges of improper con

Kansas is trying the experiment of
cotton production. One planter ginned
and shipped 100 bales last year.and it is

But perhaps the most interesting
set-to will be for the collectorship of
this, the sixth district, which Dr.Mott
has resigned in favor of his friend T. N.
Cooper. This is a sort of a tri-angular
affair, the leading participants being T.
N. Cooper, II. C. Cowles, and David
Jenkins, more familiarly known as
"Honest Uncle Dave." It seems that
Mr. Cooper worked his tricks so noise
lessly and successfully as to secure the
appointment before his competitors
were fully aware of what he wa3 doing,
but when they found it out they suc
ceeded in stopping his progress and
now have him in chancery where the
heavy work begins. Cooper, Cowles
and Jenkins, with their backers, are all
in Washington and have their sleeves
rolled up for active business.
The opponents of Cooper say that his
appointment through the agency of
Mott is a mit up job. and while it will
give Cooper a fat, and a very fat berh,
will still leave the political power of
the district in the hands of Mott, who
is said to aspire to Senatorial honors in
the event that the State be carried by
the Republicans. Cooper as collector,
and the appointee practically of Mott,
would be a very useful man to his
friend in that position, for the sixth
district is no small institution and
handles lots of cash, with lots of loose
change for campaign purposes.

WII.tr DID HE
In his pass with Scoville yesterday in
the Guiteau trial, Judge Porter, of the
prosecution, let his temper run away
with his judgment, when he petulantly
exclaimed : "This farce, which has so
lonsc been enacted by the counsel for
the defense must now stop; if not re
buked by the court it will be by others.''
Language like that on the street might
not attract attention, but from the
mouth of the leading counsel for the
prosecution, it is singular, to say the
least of it. Whether he had reference
to the organization of "avengers," who
have so frequently sent their epistolary
respects to Guiteau since his confine
ment in jail, or to the followers of
Judge Lynch, who have not been alto
gether satisfied with the progress of the
trial under Judge Cox, we do not exact
ly know, but itlooksvery much like a
threat, and one that very ill be
comes one occupying the posi
tion in the case that Judge
Porter does, whoj representing as he
does, the Government, ought to be one
of the last even by inference to give
encouragement to the mob, and this is
the only effect tht such language, un
der such circumstances, could have.
The man whom he is prosecuting is in
the hands of the law, on trial for bis
life and whether we incline to the
opinion that he ought to be hung or
not, he is entitled to the full protec
tion of the law, and men who are plead
ing for the enforcement of the law as
Porter is, should be the last to invite
the mob to its violation.

GUITEAU.
The Washington correspondent of the
Charleston News and Courier, writi ng
of the Guiteau trial and the possible re
sult concludes his letter thus:
Guiteau himself has succeeded in puz
zling most people by his conduct. It
has been the queerest combination of
blunders and shrewdness, transparent
tricks and idiotic interference ever
seen in a court-room. There has been
coherence or system about his demon
strations at all. At times he has made
excellent and pregnant suggestions to
his counsel, and again has said and
done things which any sane man would
know were fatal to his theory of insan
ity, ne has raged over petty slights
jgnureu imuug evidence against
and
him, laughed at his counsel's efforts and
then anticipated and ruined their
points by his interjections and abuse.
Thousands f instances can be found in
the testimony where he did these
things, raging at times, again sulking,
and then smiling with pride and pleas
ure. Entirely without a settled plan,
his interjections made with the rapidity
of lightening and utterly without pre
paration, yet always earnest and fluent,
it is difficult to imagine that he has
been shamming. There is no method in
his madness. He has stoutly declared
that he ceased to be insane after the
shooting. That woould seem to &e
A SUICIDAL ADMISSION,
yet it is only one of fifty which he has
made, all tending to injure his case.
That of itself might be considered part
of a deep plan were it not that he at
times has really helped his counsel by
shrewd advice, not only openly but
Privately. It is a very singular case, but
think, the man's words, actions and
appearance in Court comprise the most
conclusive- evidence of his insanity
which has been presented. Probably
the jury won't think so, in which case
there will be some of the most sensa
tional scenes which can be imagined;
Guiteau will not take conviction easily.
He is not "the stuff that martyrs are
made of." He will make a fearful
racket Lovers of the horrible and gro
tesque may prepare,in such an event,f or
a surfeit of sensations. He has sharp
ness enough at times to appreciate the

Washington. Jan. 7. "None but
members of the bar, members of the
press and those who are engaged upon
this case will be admitted to-day," was
the announcement at the outer door of
the court room this morning.
Every avenue to the courtroom was
carefully guarded and even the police
men on duty indicated that the day
would be one of unusual importance in
the progress of the trial.
A number of ladies succeeded in per
suading marshal Henry that they were
either members of the bar or press.
Such would be the natural inference
as seats reserved for the legal fraterni
ty were quickly filled with ladies.
There was a fair representation of
the bar, though by far the greater part
of the audience was made up from the
gentler sex,
The court room was filled and with
probably the . best representative audi
ence since the opening of the trial, in
point of standing and intelligence.
Mr. Davidge opened the argument
upon the law points and was followed
with the closest attention.
The jury were told by the judge that
they might be excused for the day, but
they preferred to remain and hear the
arguments.
The prisoner assured his counsel
that he would not ask to take a part in
the legal arguments to-day, but he
should insist upon making "any com
ments he should deem necessary, to set
them right on either side.
As the argument progressed, Guiteau
pretended to read a letter, but in reali
ty followed Davidge with the closest
attention. The few interruptions
which he made were unnoticed by the
counsel, save when Guiteau called out,
"I didn't know the difference between
right and wrong. I had no choice ; if
I had 1 would not nave oone it.
To this Davidge said, "we will come
to that by-and-by."
The firs.t sensation of the day was
caused by the reading of Judge Davis',
(N. Y.) charge to the jury in the Cole
man murder case.
Judge Porter relieved Davidge and
read from a newspaper slip.
Scoville, with some impatience, ob
jected to any more snch dramatic ef
forts on the part of Judge Porter, in
tended for effect upon the jury, and in
sisted that he (Porter) might as well
read a stump speech to the jury. That
he (Porter) knew that it had no bear
ing urjon this case. "Of course he
knew it, shouted Guiteau." And more
than that the jury decided the case di
rectly against the charge of the Court."
Judge Porter repelled the intimation
and insisted that this farce which had
so long been enacted by the counsel for
the defense mustrnow stop; if not rebu
ked by the Court it would be by others.
Judge Cox ended the dispute by say
incr that the matter read was undoubt
edly authority ; its applicability to this
case could be commented upon by coun
sel at the proper time.
As Davidge resumed, Guiteau again
shouted, "I want to get this thing right,
before the jury; everyone knows all
about that Coleman case. The jury
gave a verdict against that charge, and
this prosecution knows it well."
The effect was electrical, when Da
vidge, in a most deliberate and earnest
manner said, "your nonor, tnis man was
for three weeks held up to us as an im
becile, and now listen to him he not
only knows the difference between
right and wrong, but he understands
fully the law of the case.
Guiteau: "Transitory mania, that's
my case, I don't pretend I'm insane
now. 1 ve got as gooa a ueau as you or
Porter either. Scoville's a fool though.
I repudiate him and his whole theory
of defence. All I want is two hours
before that jnry, and I can set this
thing all right."
The scene was a lively one for a few
minutes. Judge Cox rapped for order,
and soon Guiteau subsided, and Da
vidge continued without further inter
ruption to the end of his argumept.
Col. Reed addressed the Court in re
ply to Judge Davidge, and confined his
argument to the consideration of two
questions: first, the definition laid down
in the revised statutes of murder and
manslaughter, under which if malice be
not proven, he contended the crime
would be manslaughter. Second, the
application to this case of the question
of reasonable doubt, in connection with
the plea of insanity. Col. Reed conclud
ed at a quarter past 2, with a perora
tion, in which figured glowing allu
sions to the latitude of liberty, and the
far-reaching impartiality of the law un
der our free institutions.
Mr. Scoville, upon being informed by
the Court that the prosecution were
entitled to opening and closing where
both, parties prayed instructions, called
attention to the fact that the prosecu
tion had made one argument to which
the jury had listened this morning, and
would nave the same advantage Mon
day, while the defence (probably it was
merely accidental, like Mr. Davidge's
cold in the morning, which allowed
Judge Porter to air bis eloquence be
fore the jury) must be content to dis
cuss these questions in their absence.
A lively and somewhat sarcastic col
loquy between the counsel ensued.
The Court did' not think any reflection
upon the prosecution was intended by
Scoville, and put an end tothe dispute
by telling Scoville to proceed with the
argument
Scoville critictee.d severely the course

To the editar of the Daily Post : Sir,
When an article headed "General John

adelphia Press of Dec. 18th, I wrote to
the editor that the conversation on
which the matter was evidently founded
was not an "interview," and the article
was so inaccurate that I would not un

cle seems to be treated in the South as
accurate, and I am charged with hav

charge. 1 did not use
guage imputed to me.
did say was that the
ought to have accounted
money. It is a well known prac
tice in this and all other civilized coun
tries that those having the disposal of
public funds shall account for them.
What I said on that occasion was in an
accidental conversation with one whom
I considered much above the class of
interviewers, therefore I had no fear
of publication of what I might say, and
said a good deal that nothing could in
duce me to say for publication, espec
ially on the subject of the funds at
Greensboro. That part of the conver
sation was in connection with the sub
ject of an application twice made by
me, that part of that money should be
paid to the army 1 then commanded in
North Carolina, which had received no
real pay for many months. Signed,

A NOTABLE INVENTION.
Enabling: an Instantaneous message
. to be Ben from a fUoTimf Train
Santa Barbara Press.
On September 27, through Messrs.
Dewey & Co., a patent was issued to a
resident of Santa Barbara, California,
for a method of telegraphing from a
moving railroad car. The invention
enables each freight or passenger train
to have its own telegraph office. Two
wires are required instead of one, and
these are suspended directly over the
track and above the moving train.
They are parallel and about eighteen
inches apart. ' One wire is connected
with a battery at the station from
which the train starts, and the other
with a battery at the terminal station.
They are so suspended that by a some
what ingenious arrangement light run
ning wheels can run along tnem trom
one end of the road to the other. The
wheels are insulated from each other,
but are connected with wires that pass
down the roof of the car to the opera
ting instrument, and through it com
plete to the circuit. As the car moves.
the- wheels are drawn aiong on tne
wires just above it, and a constant cur
rent of electricity is maintained be
tween the initial and terminal stations
through the moving car;
Without attempting to enumerate
the advantages of the invention some
of the more obvious mav be mentioned.
All train reports and all orders from
train dispatchers will te communicated
directly to the conductor and engineer
while the train is in motion. Passen
gers can receive and trarftmit messages
at any moment during their journey
without any of the inconveniences now
experienced. Directors and distinguish
ed parties traveling in their own pri
vate cars will find it especially conve
nient to have a telegraph office con
stantly at hand. But the one great
value of the invention, after all, will be
its preservation of life and property by
preventing gojlisfons.
