Thi New York Evening Pott remarks : The question in which the people take a real interest is not whether the report Gibson's, on the Star Route frauds is in accord with official etiquette, but whether the facts stated in it are true. And it seems to be generally admitted that they are," Just so. It seems to be generally admitted, too, that Mr. Arthur and Mr. Phillips are straining at a gnat and swal lowing a camel, if that is the way tha phrase ought to be translated. The greatest of the wheat producing States of the Union, counted by millions of bushels, are as follows: Illinois, 51, 000,000; Indiana, 47,000,000; Ohio, 46, 000,000; Michigan, 3G,OQO,000; Min nesota, 45,000,000; Iowa, 31,000,000; -"California, 30,000,000; Missouri, 25,000, 000, Wisconsin, 25,000,000; Pennsylvania 19,000,000. The total crop of the United States is 459,000,000 bushels, grown on about 35,000,000 acres of land, making an average of near thirteen bushels to the acre. Tuc annual report of the Director of the United States Mints, which hasjuffc been submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury, shows that the gold and silver received and operated by all the mints and assay offices during the fiscal year ending June 30, exceeds by more than fifty millions the receipts of any previous year. The aggregate amount was $22G, 225,522.40, of which more than three fourths was in gold. Over $95,000,000 in bullion were received from Europe alone, and the coinage facilities of the various mints were taxed to their fullest extent in converting it into American money. ! The Beaufort TelepJione says : The State of North Carolina with a popula tion of 1,400,000, spent during the year the paltry sum of $341,600, in round numbers, for the causo of public educa tion, while our sister State of Virginia, who is far in the rear of many ot the States of the Union, in this the most use ful and most necessary work, expended more than a million of dollars. There is not in the Union a newspaper editor who does not contend, and not : an intelligent man who does not acknowledge, that universal education is necessary in order to perpetuate civil and religious freedom. And yet while preaching this truth theo retically, we are slow to apply its precepts to practice. The vote cast for attorney -general at the late election in Virginia has been counted, and shows that there were 213, 527 votes cast, of which Blair, read i aster, received 112,900, and McKinney 100.G27. The total vote is about 2,000 more than at the presidential election, the democrats having polled about 4,000 more than was cast for the regular Hancock electoral ticket, whilst the readjuster ticket runs about Si, 000 votes behind the votes cast for the Mahone and republican electoral ticket combined. The votes cast for Gov ernor and Lieutenant-Governor will not be . counted until the assembling of the Legislature, but it is known that the vote for Daniel is several hundred more than that cast for the democratic candidate for attorney-general. The Wilmington Star learns that it is the intention of Dr. Canedo and party to meet Gov. J arris in that city on or about the 13th of December, when they will to gether examine the river and the terminal facilities of Wilmington generally, pre paratory to the meeting of the Commis sioners at Raleigh on the 19th inst., it be ing the intention of Dr. Canedo and party to go from there to Raleigh by the way of Fayetteville, to be present at said meeting. Dr. Canedo, it will be remem bered, represents the New York and Southern Railroad and Telegraph Con struction Company, who has recently made a prosposition to purchase the stock of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad Company. Dr. Canedo stated be fore the Wilmington- Chamber of Com merce that the object of his company is to construct a grand trunk line from Wil mington via. Fayetteville, Greensboro, Mt Airy, through Virginia and Ken tucky to Covington, opposite Cincinnati, Ohio, also among other branches one from Fayetteville to Goldsboro. We trust he may succeed. The New York Herald favors Mahone Lting North Carolina, and thinks the movement would be successful. The Herald knows about as, much of North Carolina politics as do sheep in the sham bles. We agree with the Charlotte Ob terver that the ardent wish for a man like Mahone to "arise in North Carolina" will be disappointed, for in all this world there is but one Mahone, and North Carolina, with all her fertility of resources, could not possibly beget another. There may be found men disappointed in realiz ing the measure of their hopes or ambi tion, who are prepared to go into a new movement where they fancy they may fare better than they have fared in the past But they are not among the men of big brain nor of large influence. They have neither the brains, the dash, nor the cunning of Mahone. They are not the a.i i i.j ii. a. l men vuat uktb iea in me pasc, nor are they the men to lead in the future. There is not much to be apprehended from any defection of leaders; but the men who are manipulating this movement on the Re publican side are shrewd enough to work up false issues and make the most of them more the people by plausible pretense and cunning demagogism. It is not so much the square open fight that is to be dreaded as the sneaking, -under-hand game that will be resorted to to 'Ma honeize" North Carolina. , X - M0BE 2IAH0NES. Set a fashion, and there will not be found lacking fools who will follow. Since the success of Mr. Mahone's little experiment in Virginia the air has been full of rumors about imitators in certain southern States. Even the staid old dem ocratic commonwealth of North Carolina has been romanced about in this connec tion. - No man can safely say that some ambi tious or mercenary politician will not arise at this distance from the events of recon struction, and endeavor to play the role of William Mahone, so far at least as his abilities will admit. But the question will occur, probably first to such a man, that after all the thing might not pay as' well in North Carolina as it did in Virginia.. Cir cumstances alter cases. Our debt is ar ranged for. There is no burning issue. The races are at perfect peace. The vary ing industries of the State are prospering at nearly equal pace. What is there for a Mahone to readjust ? " A whisper comes from one corner, "Prohibition;" from another, "Rail roads;" from a third, "The Offices." And echoanswers "Prohibition," "Railroads," "Offices." That is it. An echo, and nothing more. If anybody wants to be buried, politically, let him resurrect the echoes of lost issues and endeavor to clothe them in the habiliments of living doctrine. Who want an Anti-Prohibition party in the face of last summer's major ity? Who wants to make that majority larger? As to railroads, where is there room for a new party ? The democratic organization is already a pretty lively Anti-Monopoly infant And it is not yet time for a new baby in the democratic household. Vance doesn't require any new party on this platform, Ransom needs nothing of the sort, George Davis wouldn't have it, Dortch is on re cord in opposition to monopolies; and why should we be expected to call on Fowle, Jar vis, Scales, Robbins, Cox, Armfield, R. B. Vance, Waddell and others to put their denials likewise on re cord. Therefore we say to tho whisperers, speak out aloud in meeting. Give us more than the ghost of dead issues. The Offices form always a platform for self-seekiDg politicians, but few there be who do not dovetail into it something that looks more lovely to the average eye. Rumor assigns the boss-ship in the new moyement to a noted leader in Western North Carolina. If rumor will carefully schedule the planks in the platform which it says this man is to build, the Mes senger can then make up its mind whether he has been slandered or not We are loth to believe that James Madison Leach is a nincompoop. We were edu cated to believe in his political finesse and have assuredly no cause to disbelieve in his political faithfulness. If he is rightly reported by Madame Rumor, he is both lacking in sense and sensibility he is for the first time running counter deliberately to J. M. Leach's interest For if he is go ing" to cut loose from the democratic party, to which he owes so much, and make the effort, without issues and without men, to split up that party for the benefit of himself and the republican party jointly, he is contracting the worst case of sick headache he ever had in his life. But we think too well of him for that of his wis dom and of his patriotism. He is too much of a man for that. Mahone's service to Vir ginia as a civilian was chiefly as a ballot box stuffer; Leach's to North Carolina is altogether nicer and of a finer calibre. If Leach has gone into the Mahone business, we will have to send the sanity experts after him for sheer pity. A DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRY. The Cabinet in the United States is a very different'thing from its English pro totype, now familiarly known as "the Government. ' ' There the members have seats in Parliament, where the business of legislation is very often inaugurated by the Cabinet. Here the Cabinet is an extra constitutional body to whom certain subor dinate executive functions are assigned by the President. In England the Cabinet is for Government;, here its first and chief duty is one of counsel. The Cabinet in the United States exist ed in embryonic form in the Confedera tion, before the Constitution was framed. In our fathers' time there was some sort of superintendence, subsidiary to Congress, over foreign affairs, war and the Treasury. The first administration had a Secretary of State, a Secretary of the Treasury and an Attorney General. The Postmaster General was not at the beginning a mem ber of the Cabinet, but only an official in the Department of State. Other Secreta ries have been added, until how, like the little girl in Wodsworth's poem, the coun sellor's at the White House can say, "We are seven." The portfolios are those of State, Treas ury, War, Navy, Interior, Attorney Gen eral and Postmaster General. Of late many suggestions for an enlarge ment of the Cabinet have been made. Random propositions for a Department of Commerce, for a Department of Manu factures and Mining, for a Department of Transportation, for a Department of Agriculture, and for a general Department of all Industries have been discussed with more or less seriousness. The last two have taken the deepest hold on the publio mind. The movement to elevate the Bu reau of Agriculture in the Interior De partment into a full Department is one that commends itself to the common sense of the country. At the last Congress it was ably supported by Hon. D. Wyatt Aiken, of South Carol ina. It is understood that Congressman Le Fevre will introduce a bill in this behalf early in the session Jhst opening. "The National Granee urged the subject at its recent annual session- One obstaele in the way is the fear of having too many Cabinet places and too great a number of Departmental expense. The friends of the other industries meet the agricurists half way, saying: "We will join you, if you will assist us in estab lishing a Department of Industries, with bureaux of Agriculture, Commerce, Mines, Transportation and the like." But the farmers reply : "Oh, no; that is no more than the present arrangement We have a Commissioner of Agriculture al ready. What wc want is a Secretary of Agriculture.".. v Jr The objection raised against ; Having every , particular, industry represented in the CabineVis valid. It Is -unneces sary and ft would be attended try ety considerable expense. Perhaps it would be best to combine the industries into one, or at most two Departments. If the Cabinet were reconstructed and two places added, it might be that all the varying in terest in the country could be accom modated. Some ot the Secretaryships were misnamed. Reshaping he wfyqle concern, one might make up the slate on on the basis 6f the actual" darlerof the various counsellors; and the nine," neither "sacred" nor "tuneful," would sound in the bulletins thus: Trade and Finance; Industry; Transportation; In dian; Home Department; Foreign Affaire; War and Marine; Attorney General; Postmaster General. THE FORTY-SEVENTH CONGRESS. To-day the 47th Congress of the United States since the adoption of the Constitu tion assembles in Washington. Having so recently sketched the probable business of the session, it is unnecessary to do so here. The year is an off-one in politics, and will probably be so in legislation. Parties are nearly equally balanced, and will merely skirmish for position. We trust that the courage and wisdom which distinguished democratic manage ment in the two extra sessions of the Sen ate will characterize that of the winter regular term. The people of this section would like to see a good deal of practical work done by this Congress, but they do not care to have it done at the expense of the democratic party. As matters stand, and for some time are likely to stand, the interests of the democracy and the inter ests of the southern States are the same. WASHINGTON LETTER. The Guiteaus on the Witness Stand. Correspondence of the Goldsboro Messenger. Washington, November 29. A large number of experts and repor ters visited the jail Sunday. Interest in the trial does not by any means abate, but is rather on the increase. Yesterday the prisoner was quieter than he has been any day sincefthe examina tion of witnesses began. For qver an hour he did not open his lips. His chief inter ruptions were during the ! testimony ot John W. Guiteau. He gave his sister, Mrs. Scoville, a fair chance. Tbls witness testified to many things the prisoner did while visiting at theSco ville residence in Wisconsin. He made in coherent 4th of July speeches and was laughed at. 1 1 hope all the incoherent 4th of July orations delivered in this fer vid land are not to be considered as evi dence of insanity. J I Icr brother was put off the place by her son, ' but afterward came back. Guiteau wanted to hell copies of his pamphlet on the second coming of Christ to her visitors. Mrs. Scoville was treated with much consideration. Mr. Davidge, for the pro secution, declined to cross-examine her, for which she thanked him in a cordial manner. Davidge is running the witness business on that side, but J udge Porter is to come iu when the experts take the stand. George T. Burroughs, of Chicago, thought Guiteau was either a fool or crazy. He judged from the prisoner gen eral conduct. The assassin having kept silent all during his sister's and- Burroughs' testi mony, broke out in a philippic against "the cranky newspaper men," somebody having written something unpleasant about him. One of the Oneida free-love communi ty took the stand next, Charles S. Joyce. He is one of their business managers; had known Guiteau while the latter was there; the prisoner was about as egotistical as any man he had ever seen; his lectures conti nuity and logical connection. Joyce will probably be called again to the stand by the prosecution. ' John W. Guiteau, of Boston, brother of the prisoner, was asked a vast number of questions. His evidences is not worth a great deal to the defence, but is interest ing for its apparent candor. It appears he did not like his cranky brother, and did not get on well with him. He and the prisoner stated that the feelings of each had changed since the trial began. John Guiteau testified that the only cases of insanity in his family were those of his uncle, Abraham, and witness two cousins, Abby Maynard and Granville Parker. He said that his father was sane. Mr. Scoville expressed surprise, and asked a question which ftas ruled out as inad missible. The witness believed with his father that there were two forces in the world, at war with each other, Jesus Christ and the Devil; and that at present Satan had the dominion on the earth to a great extent. His brother had allowed the Devil to get control of him. He believed that his brother was responsible before God if not before human law. This stirred up the assassin, who snap ped : "My iriend, you've got that thing wrong side up." "Perhaps so," replied John W. "Very poor theology, and a very poor position for you to take." Guiteau' s cousin in-law, Mrs. Granville Parker, testified to the prisoner "falling, desperately in love" with her daughter, who was just fourteen years old. "A very common form of insanity," broke in Mr. Davidge, raising a round of laughter. "A very handsome girl, too, judge," inter rupted the prisoner. Guiteau wanted to educate and marry her. Mrs. Parker not desiring such attentions to be paid to the child, he ceased his visits. Guiteau, who is always alert to sustain himself here said : "They are very poor, and I used to go there to give 'em money. They seemed to like that well enough. Incidentally I became interested in the girl who was pretty and smart, but altogether too young forme, however," rernando Jones knew tho prisoner in Chicago. Had been trustee of an insane asylum and seen many insane people. Thought the prisoner was of unsound mind. Guiteau, the assass'n, took the witness stand, but was excused ; from standing. Pending his testimony the court adjourn ed, at 3 o'clock. Guiteau says if he is acquitted he will fo out as a lecturer and make $50,000. lis testimony was confined to identifying certain letters. SHRINKS FROM CROSS EXAMINATION. Still wearing the coat with its sad re minder of Bill Jones, as if nrnud of hnvJ ing been shot in the sleeve, the , vain as- Dosaiu tuieieu iuc cuunruoui mis morning and was soon called to the witness stand. He did not wish to testify, said he was not well, thought he "ought not to be made to disclose his line of defence," &c The truth is, the miserable skunk is afraid to sit in the witness box because of its elevated situation. He likewise dreads cross-examination. For an hour and a half his letters to different members of the family occupied the attention of the au dience along with the prisoner's running comments. The letters were read by Sco ville. After this Guiteau ascended the stand and related THE STORY OF HIS LIFE. , It occupied two hours, and did not con clude when, at 3 o'clock, the court ad journed for the day. lie could hardly remember his mother, wfj dierf vrhen he was about seven years cidji His father did not believe in his get ting aa education, thought it sufficient for lunTto aave his soul by going to "that stinking Opeida Community." "How did youget the idea of going to the Oneida .Community ?",asked Scoville. "Myfather wa my mother and father, too, and I &ank it righi in from his influence." He hurt1 his eyea-by studying papers about the community which had been sent to him by his father. These he read, in ad dition to his regular studies, while at col lege. He described the whole theory ot the Oneida people to be the sexual grati fication of John H. Noyes, but avowed his own innocence in that particular. The I only, thing, that kept the community to- t .m. i . lV. ''tti.t tliAoa Uft would be damned. For a year after he te1tritsinflnence-hiiniOYer hnBrand " was even so strong that he went back there and spent another year. He went to New York in 1865, joined Beecher's church and meditated upon a religious paper to be called The Theocrat. He says : "I re member one of those wise newspapers fel lows said the home was enough to damn the thing.". He had only $100, and gra dually gave up the notion, although a prospectus was issued. One of the reasons why he did not like the community was the plainlfare. Of this he spoke with some disgust He sought for editorial work on the Independent, controlled by Tilton, and the Tribune by Greeley. He eulogized his own abilities as a law yer. The first year he made $2,000. He bragged about his first-rate references, and his pertinacy. He was in Chicago from 1869 lp 1881; then. Went to New York. Got into the Tombs for not paying a board-bill, but was released, as his confine ment was unconstitutional. Was never in dicted for any offence before the present. When he went to Chicago he wrestled with the idea of buying the Inter-Ocean, valued then at $75,000, until he exhausted himself. He was one of Moody's ushers, and once thought of going to Europe as an evangelist. While in theology he wrote Lis lecture on the second comiog of Christ The idea of that composition was that Chritt's second coming was at the destruction of Jerusalem, lhe city s destruction was the outward mark ot the advent The prisoner evidently thought it was a grand inspiration; for when at a later moment he likened his labors to those ot St Paul, Scoville asked, "Did not the apostle have greater success than you had?" and the prisoner replied, "I don't think he did; that little book of mine for ever settled the question of the second coming of Christ." The lectures came in for a full share of attention. At times the audience laughed. At a place where he had as maD? as 50 or CO people to hear him he got a good news paper notice, but he said it vis "flavored with the fact that he had been arrested for not paying his board-bill the night before." At Toledo not a single per son came to hear him. He gave his dead-heading experiences. "It wasn't my business," he remarked, "to dictate to the Lord how He was to take care of me. I left him to pay my board-bills the best way He could." To-morrow the prisoner will resume his chequered story. THE SPEAKERSHIP, ETC. Pennsylvania is playing for the chair manship of the Committee on Ways and Means; hence the republican members from that State "are endeavoring to find out who is the coming man, so that they can cast their votes where they will do the most good for the pig iron fellows. Kasson and Hiscock are ahead, with Keifer a good third, bragging that he is even more than that. Dunnell is a lively dark horse. Some clever thinkers say he will be the nominee. 1 can speak with more confidence on this subject of the speakership later in the week. Nothing is now certain. Asr to the clerkship, McPherson has lost ground. It is said that his own delegation he is a Pennsylvanian is opposed to him and in favor of a man named Keim. Rainey, the colored ex-nominee of the last Congress, is not, now affected by his Caucasian brethren, since a nomination probably means an election. Respecting the latter, however, a doubt is expressed, since a report is out to-day that the greenbackers and other elements in opposition to the two regular parties have agreed to stand by their own man for Speaker. This person is understood to be Bslford, ot Colorado, a republican with greenback tendencies. The movement, if it be in contemplation, will hardly amount to anything. But it would break up the republican control if it could be carried out The difficulty is that the Missouri greenbackers and probably one or two others of that persuasion are pledged to support the republican caucus arrange ment. So with the read just era. No doubt little Belford, who is fond of notoriety, would give in his adhesion if the necessary votes were secured. . NOTES. Congressman Armfield and Col. 5l R. Davis are here. The jam at the trial was so great to day that Acting Attorney General Phillips and Congressmen Aiken and Evins, of South Carolina, were turned away by the door keepers who said they would do the same thing for the President of the United States. A certificate of incorporation was filed to-day by the Garfield National Masonic Memorial Association. It is for the orphan children of the fraternity an industrial home for them. c. w. H. Gkn. J. M.
