The engine has slnco boon sold to the Olty of Richmond. By dolaying consideration In this matter the city has last a valuable engine and all chance of Immediate relief. Tho reasons for urging the purchase or this engine wero folly glrea in tho report dated August 14, 1870. 1 now rocommond a fourth engine having the same capacity as the prcsont engines.

A ISiirKlur in a House In Navy Street. Fired at by a Brave Hoy, and Probably Hounded. Tho honso at No. 51 Navy street was tho sceno of an exciting episode last ovenlng. A burglar finding the front basement door oonvonlontly open, euterod and went up stairs to make a tour through tho premises.

Ho found a clear Oeld for hla operations, there being no person in the upper part of the house, and had not tho noise he made atlraotod the attontlon of Mrs. Ellen Moore and her son, William, aged 1G years, who were sitting in the basement, there is no doubt that he would have beon successful In his raid. Young Moore, suepectlng the prosence of a burglar, courageously ascended tho stairway for the purpose of making an investigation, first, however. having tho wlso prooaution to arm himself with a re olvor. When he got to the sooond floor tho bnrglar, described as a thick sot dark comploxloned man, about g3 years of ago, ran past bim, and on reaching the ball way, started for the baca door.

Before reaching It, however, Moore fired a shot at him, and from the fact that tho bnrglar Immediately dropped a bundle containing some Bllrerwaro which ho had colleoted pstalrs, a revolver and a box of cartridges, it Is sup posed that he was wounded. He was not however, so badly woundod that ho was not able to make his esoape. The pistol shot attracted two polloe offrcors to the spot and a Boarch was mado through the adjoining yards, but no trace could bo found ot the burglar, JOHN HOVYAltl) WELLES. Iliu Appearance at the Tombs Police Court This and Ills Ito mand His Illness at Police Head quarters.

Jay Gould, by a peculiar and novol method. The Inspector and hla dotoctlvoB very quietly entered tho court room accompanied by the accused, and awaitod favorable opportunity to approach the Justice when tho ordinary business was disposed of. Colonel Wolles, it 1b alleged, was a relatlvo of Ex Beoretnry of the Navy Gidoon Wollos. He la man of eevero cast of features, with side whlskero and mustache, about five feet, eight Inches In height and 53 years of ago. Ho drossos with much propriety, and Is gravo and gentlomauly in manners, refraining from auy remarks touching his painful situation.

Ha gave his residonce ae at No. 0 EaBt Thirty fourth street. Inspector Byrnes stated to Justice Bixby that it would bo neceBsary for him to apply for a remand of tho prisoner to enable him to produeo the necoBsary evidence to sustain a oomplalnt. His application was granted and Colonel Wellos waB conducted back to Police Headquarters. It Is intimated that Inspector Byrnes Is in possession of documentary evidence of au Important character against Welles that has not been published.

Inspector Byrnes at 10 o'clock telegraphed for Police Surgeon Dorn, who came from his home at No. 175 Illeeoker Btreet In answer to the call. He waB ushered into the cell occupied by Wollea and found him trembling and utterly broken down, moro apparently by mental than by physioal suffering. Very little conversation passed between the patient and the physician, who at onco understood tho situation and attempted to relieve the prisoner's evident diBtresB by proscribing gonerous doses of valerian. "You are the man who wroto soino letters';" was the only question put by tho doctor.

There was no necessity of making his meaning clearer. "Unfortunately I am," replied tho prisoner, with a quick glanco for sympathy In tho questioner's face, and finding none there relapsed Into a moody silonoe, which he preserved during tho remainder of the dootor's visit. Tho mediolno appeared to give bim relief, and it Is belloved that by 8 o'clock he will havo sufficiently braced up to be able to appear at the bar of the Tombs polloe oourt, to confront his sceusers. Ho Is very elosely guarded at Police Headquarters, as It Is known that he would take tho chanco to commit sulcldo oould be find it. The first attacks of his nervousness this morning aroused the BUBploion that despite all vigilance he had succeeded in hlB declared purpose, but tho doctor's examination soon dispelled It.

Tlie udveatures of the Howport in an Immense Sohool of Sperm Whales Herd Half a Mile Wide and Twenty Miles Loug Within a Day's Sail of Now York Harbor An Extraordinary Inci dent of a Sea Voyage. The lungniflcont iron steniuship. Nowport, of tho Now Vork aud Cuba Mail rjieamship Company, lay lu tho dry dock at tho foot of aiarkot street this muming, Ono bad gjod opportunity to appreciate her vast slso and her beautiful Ilnoa as sho towered etorios Bivward above tho snectator.

Standing on tho dock under her shadow was her commander, Captain John V. Suudbers. the commodore ot this Hue. He, la a worthy representative of hie class, a great, stout, finely proportioned, pleasant faced, jolly and Intelligent son of Newport, who has sailed the aeaa a quarter of century and more. Captain Sundborg baa had dangora ou tho asty deep and has scon many things stranger than lictiou to relate, but never had ho suoh an adventure us bofel tho good steamship Neptune on her last passage from Now York to Havana.

It was to hear bim relate this adventure, that tho Eagle roporter mot him this morning, and the story shall bo related in TBE OAPTAIN'a OWN WOIID3. We left New York with ono hundred and thlrtoon pasengersou beard, among whom were Sir. Alden Swan, one of the commlsjtoacrs of the Brooklyn Bridge and ono of the ttngiueers, whoso name I do not roool lect. Wo left New York Thursday ovoniug and Friday morning nt about 8 o'clock, oil tho capos of Delaware, wo ran into mi immonso school of whales. Such a sight I never saw before aud I believe nobody boforo ever did.

They wore tho rogulur sperm whales, tho most valuable known to commerce, and tho Hchool was certainly from a quarter to a half a milo wide and twenty inilos length. There wore millions of them, enough tj load down every vessol ia the port of New York. The weather was delightful, tho sea smooth and the pacsengors were mostly on deck. Of oourso ovory body was amazed aa well as doliatited to seo such a lot of those monBters of tho deep. They were of all sltea, irom small ones up to great follows olxty Qvo and seventy feet In length.

I ivae standing near tho door of tho amokiug room talking with sorno of the passengers, looking at the whales aud taikiug about them, there being such an immense quantity of them, when suddenly I felt a SHOCK RUNNING ITO SOMETHING. Mr. Swan and tho engineer wero standing at the extreme bow of tho vessel looking clou on tho animals liie vessol had run ou to one of lliom, a whale lully sixty feet in longth. striking it at right anglos about iu Its middle. The headway of tho vessel waB not Dereen.

tibly dlminlfhej, although the shock nearly throw every ono from bis feet. As tho vesiel struck tho whole tho creature threw up Its flukes aud a perfoot doluge of wntor catno over the bow, drenching Mr. Swan and the engineer completely. The sharp bow of tho vessel cut tho niooster completely in two, the head coming up. on tho starboard aud tho tail on tho port sido.

As tho parts went asteru the sea was covered with blood and entrails, The would havo yioldod threo or four hundred barrels of oil. No damage was don to anything excepting lbs steam stoarlug gear, Tho shock threw this out of order, the cououssiou oloslng some of tho valvos, and for seme little time, until this could be hied, we had to Blear the vessel by baud. No one was alarmed, aa the vessel Is an Iron one, and there was no foar of starting any of tha plates, is the whale wrs not coming head on, but was lying directly across our path. However, an examination was made to bo sure, and the vosscl pro coeilrd on her couive. We wero going at the rate of Dfttr' knots an hour.

Tho whales were every whero on all iMes, as tar id we could see. When tho severod head of the whalo came up it SHOT CP SIX FEET IN THE Am, so that everybody cnuhi Seo it. Everybody was thun derstruck, len minutes lrer we experienced another and a severer shock. Wo had run plumb over another and still larger ouo. Tho mate was standing at the bow this time and wo utruck it squarely and cut this one lu two ae wo did the Qrst ono.

Tho head sank and tbon ro3e on tho port side, but tho body passed under the ship. Tho veeael was SHAKEN i itOSI STEM TO STEBN, and lbs body i the struck the propeller as It came from un iT tlie ship. The enginoer rushed on deck, tbirjlfiug we hr.d iiin over a log or had struck on an unknown rock. Tho headway was porcoptll'ly lessened aud there was getting to bo altoscthor too much of ibis sort of thing to be pleasant. Hod it been In tho niuid aud tlie whales not vistule I should certainly liavo thought wo had touched a rock or run over a wreck.

1 th M) ordored the course of tho vessel changed and we rau out of the school, although thuy were vieiblo for a long timo afterward at a distance. Captain Luudberg had bis attention directed to tho cise of a whaling vessel which, some yearft ago, vrne attacked by a aporm whale, ptovo ana sunk, aud was asked if ho did not think ths Newport in danger at the lime. He ropllod that the vessel referred to, tho he thought It was, wa vcmuu 1 by an infuriated sperm whalo. The heads of thoso animals aro very hard and could easily stave in tho side of a wooden vessol but ho did not think they could make any impression on tho thick iron plates of a voseel like tho Nowport.

comingr Active for Any Kind of a Change. Special correspondence of the Eagle. Washington, D. 0., November 13, Judge Folger will enter on tho dutios of his desk to morrow, and tbo pundits are trying to find out just what sort of policy ho Intends to pursue. To day I loarn from ono of his Intimate friends that tho new secretary Intends to bo actively slow about changes, and, Indeed, overythlng In tho ehapo of a policy.

He proceods on tbo principle that his department Is a vast mach lne, and that tho machinery, has always been to greater or less extent run by subordinates. The details are so minute and everlasting that no ono man oould possibly compass them all In much longer timo than the Judge will have to spread himself over the field. Ifonoa his determination upon elownom. Just what particular channel thiB slowness Will tako nobody seems to know perhaps tho Judge couldn't tell himself. Ho is a novice.

Ho wants to learn tho ropes, and tha gouttomen who have boon sucking pap for the lovoly years that aro gone will aid the Judge in getting tho hang of things just as leisure ly as tho most conservative snail oould ask. Appointments aud changes aro maUovs bo will prob ably not invado, and, further than this, ho simply says that he will do nothing till ho finds out oxaolly what ought to bo done. No oue doubts the Judge's capacity for tho plaoo, booause tbo Treasury Department would run along on greased wheels If he didn't come down to the department ovory day, oxoept to sign his name. Gllfillan could keep it on its foot The announcement of his platform givoa rise to tho suspicion, on tho part of certain pooplo, that possibly ho may give too muoh Iatltudo to his eminoutly cautious ond judicial mind, and ollow the slow prooossos of a Chancory Court to take tho place of an enorgetlo administration. How evor, we shall see.

WILL IT SPREAD Now, in tliotr homeward flight to Washington come the inspired young mon who trained under Mahone In blo rocent battle, and blow tho bugles and beat the drums. Thoy appear well dressed and comfortably fed, and tho Idea ocours to me that some of tho hard earned wealth of tho Old Dominion has found Its way into their pockets. When they first put on thoir war clothes thoy had ono mission, and hare fifteen, one for each Stato Bouth of tho lino. Thoy propose to go right ahead with the patronage of the Administration, and get a flue assortment of Democratic scalps all over the South. "What prinoiple aro they going to work on you may oak.

Well, it Isn't the debt quostlon. Just bear that in mind I The reams of paper that bavo beon covered with attaoks on Mahouelsm as a sohomo of repudiation pure aud simple aro Just eo muoh rubbish. The realvltallty of tho movoment Bprlngs from an entirely different source, and some of tbo men who write for tho press are beginning to shake a few scales from their ayes about this matter and get a oloarer vlow of tho situation. With his native shrewdness, Mahono had sense enough to sae and to take tho advantage of, a rostloss and dissatisfied aplrit among the young voters of tha South. As in the North, tho further wo advanoo from the smoke and suffering of the lato unpleasantness, tho loss doos tho bloody Bhlrt influence the rising voto so In tho South, tho faot of Yankee thrift in many looailtloB oxompliaed boforo their eyes.

and thehopeless aspoct of a future for the South under the domineering oligarohy of a fow ujosb grown political rings, have led the young mon to break out of tho trocos, throw procept ovorboard and strike ode for themselves on an lndepeudent platform. I happen to know personally a numbor of thoso young mon in Virginia, who don't care a Og for Mahono, who don't believe in his financial rottenness, and yet who snp ported his alleged reform movement simply because they fancied it was the only available way to emancipate themselves from that 11 Old man of the sea "poll tioal bondage. Now, the movemeut is started. It's an experiment. If the young men who havo carried the day lu Virginia beyond the shadow of a doubt find uny reliof or sup posed freedom of opinion, or tho faintest symptoms of an energetic future in tha ohango, you will find tho con tagion spread.

Here It is all tho rage. To day I hoard of a olork in the Pension ofiloe recontly fortijnate enough to walk off with tho nOootions of a $100,000 widow, who proposes to go to Georgia and launch a Republican dally In Atlanta. Tho sober philosopher might suppose that Georgia would prove a good rat hole for such inveBtmontB, but prognostications don't indicate now quite as much as thoy did. Recent eleetlons in Mississippi show THIS llEHTLESa SPIBIT among the young Democracy. Tho samo Is true in Tennessee and Missouri and North Carolina.

Private information from all those sections, of groat reliability, and, I may add, moBt reluctantly given, support this statement. It doesn't como at all from tho Liberals, but from tho moBt thoughtful and dlscornlngDoraocrats, Lamar himself confesses to indications of a break, and so does Ransom and so does Goneral Gordon. Wblle on this subject, lot mo narrate something never published before. It was not thought thon to havo any special significance by thoso who heard tho story, as no ono present supposed tho Mahone break would assume any very groat proportlono Senator Garland, of Ar kansas, about the time Mahono madu his speech sou tending that tho Bouth needed resurrection, told of having rocolvod a large batch of letters from Democrats in bia State, asking bim to notify Mahone that they were ready to Join hie camp, but it would have to bo for a consideration. They were all as poor as crows and wautod pap.

Generally, it was post offices, but thoy wore willing to sell out for a mess of pottage, In caso nothlug belter could bo done. You can easily imagine Garland uudertaklng such a job. He entered these ohooky dosortors in his memorandum book aud never, of oourso, wout within twonty feet of Mahono. Tho sonator had just passed through a trying canvass, in which ho had redeemed Arkansas from ropudiatlon, whilo yet ho confessed tho fact that thoro was something In this movement of Mahono which tho money question could not cover, and tho four other Democratic Senators present agreed with him, but woro at'a loss haw to find the key to the problem. I learn since tkofc Mahono Is literally deluged with similar letters from many parts of the South.

They want to trade, either because poor and despondent or becauso they are ready to try a ohango. With tho whole artillory of the Administration in front of him, don't be surprised if he mows down somo of the enemy's men. Cope. CONQUF.KOB AND CONQUERED.

LOOAL DEMOCRATIC REORGANIZATION, Eaiuto for the Consideration of young Democrats. the 2V the Eiitor 6 the Brooklyn Eagle: According to the Eaolb's report of the Youug Mou's Dcmoeratio Club meeting on Friday evonlng last, one of the members, speaking to the question of Democratic reorganization, said "In tho mat tor of reorganization, which all see to bo necessary, this club should follow the course of the Committee of Ouo Hundred In New York." Now, tho county Democracy Is the outcome of the Committee of One Hundred, and yet ou Tuesday Iaat, with all tho power of patronage and money behind it, it proved itself to be the minority Democratic faction of New York City, its candidate for Surrogate running 3,000 behind the Tammany eandidate, and its candidates for Aldermon at largo meeting a somewhat Blmllar fate. And this result was deserrod by a party which put forward such notorious tools of Monopoly as Seebacher and Hogan and such tlmoaorvors oa Mike Norton ahd Jemmy Oliver. If reorganization In Brooklyn is to bring about a like rosult, and the samo cause will lead to the eame effect, then sparo us from tho sham 1 The Young Republicans will be In control ol the city of Brooklyn after January 1, and how did they seouro that result? Not Dy demanding a reorganisation of the Republican parly, but by working quietly ond systematically until they were in a position to dictate to tho party managers to whom they ehould nominate. Their work at the polls on election day, 1080, proved their right to consideration, and In the face of thia proof, with the threat of opposition hanging over tho party managers, in case they refused to put the right kind of men in the field, the managers dared not refusa to consider them and to givo way to them.

When this Young Men's Domocratio Club has proved by Its strength, extent aud influence its right to demand a reorganization, when it tears a leaf from tho Young Republican's book and takes the lesson to heart It can demand and obtain Domocratio regeneration. In all sincerity and with a full appreciation of the noed of a comploto revolution in Democratic management, let mo suggest to the club that their committee appointed on Friday ove'blng go to each ward in euo cessiou and establish in each a olub composed of the right matorlal, aud dolay not their work for a elnglo flay. Now ib tho accoptod timo, when every one is talk Ing oyer defeat and cursing the men and tho management responsible for it. Then when the time comes for forming a new goneral committee depend upon it thoro will bo plenty of new blood Infused into Its veins. Tenth Wabdkb.

Mr. Stranahan was of the opinion that taking Into consideration the original oost of tho landB and tho normal and growing lnoreaae In Its value due to the construction of the park, and the assured high chsracter of the dorolop.

ment of contiguous property, tho prloes at whlolj would likely to bo sold would bo yery oyt cuuen woi rtalnly tend to mako this neighbored, a Vpuauio one. The commissioners uiVo Imposed restrictions is to the eharaoter and use of the buildings to bo erected. Then, sgalq Mr, Stranahan inggesttd, the Bridge was calculated To add indirectly to the value of this property, while an oarly prospeot of quick transit to tuo; vicinity would of Itself havo Its Influence. With regard to the terma and conditions of sale, Mr. Stranahan said that the property would be ful ly cleared of all Indebtedness, Including past and all future Installments of tho assessment for Park benoflts, and that the deeds would bo a full covenant and warranty, so that Intending pur chasers may feel the utmost assurance as to the legal seourltles Involved In holding property whose future Is likely to bo so good.

Mr. Stranahan said that while he did not anticipate that the prices would roalixo his ex pectation or roAch a point whero thoy would afford opportunity for a reasonable compensation with simi larly eligibly loeated property, the desire was to dis pose of it, and tho Bale conld take plaoo as advertised, Nothing short of a sacrifice of the olty's Interests conld intervene to atop it. He had high hopes as to its fu ture, and hla judgment would be greatly at fault If thoy wero not realized, The commissioners have adopted a resolution fixing, as an additional term of sale, that the lands shall be sold free and clear from tho Prospect Park assessment for benefit and all futuro Installments.

A large uumbor of the petition cases havo boon board and dlapoBod of, and when the commission shall havo disposed of tho balance thoy will tako up cases of those who may havo filed pelltions after tho period fixed by law and those who may hereafter fllo thorn. What thoy want understood Is that thoy will continuo to recelvo applications and bear the parties interested, but will first have to dispose of tho regular calondar.

To the Honorable the Common Council: Gentlemen On August 4, 1881, this department communicated with your honorablo body, sotting forth tho nooessity of immediate aotlon in refeaence to providing a fourth engine for Illdgewood pumping station. At that timo thoro was offered to tho dopartment a Worthington engine, of (1,000,000 gallons capacity, at a prico which, with the expense of building and appur tonancos, would not bavo oxcoodod $45,000, Your honorable body fallod to tako action In the matter at that lime, er at any subsequent mooting, and beoauso of this delay the situation has groatly cbangod. The onglno named, and which rnnid 1,,,, a immorli itA use, has been sold to another city at a much larger price, and so much timo has olapsed since the engine was originally recommended, and so long a period will paes during tho construction of a new onglno (not loss yoar' that thi8 department, on tho advice of the chief ongineer, Is eonstrainod to recommond tho purchase of an onglno of 15000,000 gallons capaolty, tho eame as tho engine now in use. This will involve a large addition to the building containing tho engines, the construction of a foroe main, connections, and this department moBt respeotfully but most urgently asks that your honorablo body will at once give authority and mako appropriation for the same by tho adoption of resolutions, found on pago 1U7 of printed minutes of August 4, 1881, after amending tho same by striking out therefrom tho sum of $45,000 and Inserting lu Hen thereof the sum of $185,000, as set forth and recommended by tho Chief Englnoer, in detail, in this report to me, dated Ootobor 24, 1881, which roport Is herewith submitted.

Hon. John French, Commissioner City Work): Sin I have the honor to submit tbo following roport relation to tho necessity ol constructing a lourth onglno at Rldgewood pumping station. The averogo dally consumption from June 1 to date 34,858,535 gallons; tho average dally consumption for January aud Fobruory will groatly exoeed these figures. The three engines hBvo been running as follows Juno, 14 days; July, 21 days August, 21 days September, 20 days, and October 18 days. It will be seen from thoso figures that tho three englnos are required to run from four to five days a week and, tboroforo, thero are but a few days left to Mr.

Fry to make repairs and examine tho engines. With two englnos available wo have only twonty days' safe reserve with full reservoirs. 8uch a reserve is not sufficient for sofoty. No private corporation would tako Iho risk the eity is now taking. Let mo briefly quote from the annual reports of this buroau roport for the year 1877 The olty bos beon consuming more water than two engines could ralso, and all three engines havo been frequently In UBe honbo we may say that we have no reserve to moot tho oooldonta that should alwaya be provided for with suoh heavy maoblnory.

I feel a groat deal of anxiety about the present pumping power, and recommend your Immediate oonsldoratlon of the quostlon of constructing a fourth engine. "Report for the year 1878," When I wrote this (referring to the abovo quotation), I had no idea that we ehould bo called upon to do euoh pumgtng as the fol lowing figures show 1B70.

Our distributing reservoir when full, has a storage for less than five days consumption, you will, I trust, boo the importance of inoreaalng the nntnntng power. Wo can.

not afford delay." Report for the year 1870: "It seems unnecessary for me to do more than quote from my last annual report relative to tbo nocesslty of additional pumping power. If tho conditions presented In the above quo. titlon cannot arouse ns to Immediate action, then nothing but a eerious calamity will." Hoportforthe year 1880: "Our immediate wants. First, a fourth englno at Rldgewood, so ss to give ns a propor reservo In tho pumping capacity. On October 12, the shaft ot engine No.

8 waa broken and the engine disabled for over a month. This might havo proved a serious accident, and had It occurred when our dally consumption was at its maximum, wo would have been seriously embarrassed." It will bo seen from these quotations that this buroau hat fully informed tho olty authorities of the dangers running at Rldgewood without propor pumping rosorvo. and If anyjttrloua accident does occur to pro vent our being ablBTo supply the consumers with the quantity of water they are now using or may want tq nse in Winter, this bureau cannot be held responsible lor tbo failure, Mr. Fry'a good management of tho affairs at Ridgo wood has undoubtedly saved us from sorloue tronblo.

Tlta trial of Charles J. Oulteau foe the murdor of the President Garfield began In the Orlmlnal Term of tho Supreme Court of the Dlatrlot of Columbia to day. At 10 o'olock proulsely the judge, Walter L.

Cox, onterod tho court room, and tho court was doolared formally oponod by ta orlsr la the old KomHU form, Immediately thereafter, the prisoner, Oulteau, was. brought Into tha court room by tho marshal anij Me doputloa. lie looked In much better condition, physically and otherwise than when ho laat appeared In tn same room to pload to the indlottaetlt.

One of his first movement! was to thrust hie hand Into one of his pooketa and half tako out a roll of paper, Mr. Sooville, hoverer, in dumb play, ordored him to put It baek and ho did so. Then the Dlatrlot Attorney roso and dcolared tho readiness of tho proaooutlon to proceed with the case.

Mr. Robinson then arose make his plea for still more timo to preparo for tha de fenoo, which appeared not to meat tho approval of Gultcau. All tho time that Mr. Robinson vaa speaking, (Jul teau was carrying on what appoared to bo a romon strauco with Mr. Bcoville, who waa apparently trying to quiet and suppress him.

District Attorney Corkltll, aa eoon aa the court waa oallod to order, stated that the Qorornment was ready to proceed with the trial of Charles J. Oulteau. Mr. lioblnson, of eounsel for the defense, applied for a postponement In order to tho caao still further. When bo ooncludod, Gultoau roSB oxollodly and demanded to bo beard lu his own dofenso.

Robinson tried to Btop him, but his ollant angrily waved him off, saying "Keep Btlll I am trying this case myself." lie then attempted to read hli speech, but too Judge said this was not the time. Colonel Oorkhlll then rose and opposed the motion for delay. Gultoau was very rostlsss, and during Robinson's temporary absence leaned over to Bcovillo, and banging his olenohed fists together, said "ThU sort of thing has got to atop. I only want lawyers for technical points. 1 am managing this thing myself, and I told Robinson I did not want him to make such a speech." Mr.

BcoTille eald nothing. Gultean subsequently held an oxelted colloquy with Robinson. Bo Is ovl dently going to bo a troublesome olient, Now followed an extraordinary sceno. Mr. Bcovillo rose and said ho opposed the motion.

Ho did not favor delay, and regarded Robinson's coarse as extraordinary. He bad not beon consulted, and protostod against dolay.Gultoau rose oxoltedly, and said: "I indorso overy word of that. I told Robinson that if he did not do this thing aa I wanted It done, he could get off the case." Aa Robiuson was about to rlso, Gultoau said "I don't want any more spooohes from Mr. Robinson in the matter until he gets authority from me to talk, The deputy marshal hero solzed Guiteau from behind and forced him Into his chair. Gultoau hastily said You lot mo aloue, please; mind your business," The judgo intimated that he might be able to postpone tho case one week, when Guiteau said: "Mr.

Robinson came Into this case without my kuowledge. I know nothing about him. I expect monoy enough in a few days and can employ any couusol I ptoaso 1 I demand that ho retire peremptorily from the case." Guiteau continued during the proceedings to bo very restless and constantly attempted to Interrupt tho court. If he is ondeavoriug to convince the court of his Insanity, ho loses no opportunity to make a demon stration. Ho repeatedly said 'I do not want any moro time.

I don't want Robin son any moro in tho case." The oflicers again forced Guiteau Into his ohalr, when Guiteau angrily said to them You koep still and mind yonrown business; lam lu tho presence of the court; I propose to talk when I feel like it." Owing to tho opposition of Mr. Scovllle and tho pris oner to tho application of Mr. Robtunou for an extension of time, the oourt stated that for the present the case should proceed as far at loast as tho swoartng of the jury was concerned, and that thon he would consider the question ol tho extension. About 1 1 o'clock the work of obtaining ft jury was be gun, the throo who first presented themselves being disqualified, two on tho ground that they had formed Sied opinions on the case, and the other on the ground that he had conscientious sorupleB on the subjoet of capita! puulshment.

While It is found that the number of offloera and men who have actually paraded st Croed uiuur tor oiass practice Is BmaUer than In former sea sons, tho advancement, as Indicated by the progres ne various classes, has beon greater In proportion, and considerably beyond tho anticipa tions or tuo moat sanguine. Tho wisdom of tho cnangeB in tho system of practice Instituted by Gonoral Barnes has been olearly demonetratod, tho work upon the rango having not ouly been appreciably expedited theroby, but officers and mon and particularly tho Inspectors of Hlflo Practice rolioved of much onerous ana laiigulng labor. Tho plan adopted by tho department of not requiring tho return of tho markBman's badges won In 1880, but Issuing an additional bar to tho wlnnor of 1881, promises to work very satisfactorily.

Whon tho discouraging outlook attondlng the 'no Bhooting season at the beginning of the uuireni year ts taken into consideration, tho successful outoomo of the military class praotioo affords Dunaant cause for congratulation. Something ovor a year ago. OaDtaln John A. Ed wards, commanding flatllng Battery announced i intention to resign his commission but at tho urgent solicitation of the members of the battery ho was Induced to reconsider his determination. The demands of business have latterly, however, so pressod upon him that he has beon compollod to put his original pur oncer, ana nis resignation will shortly be for waraoa.

As commandant of the Galling Battory, Captain Edwards has beon rarely sucoesBful, and his resig nation win oa accepted with regrot, not only by his immediate superiors at Eleventh Brigade and Second Division Headquarters, but by the National Guard gouoraUy. Ab an ettootlve organization the baltery oc cuples a front rank among the voluutoor military organizations of the country. For a number of years It hold an exceptional positlou, being tho only mouutod gat llng battery In the National Guard, and Iu discipline aud drill it has no superior and few equals. Tho successor to Captalu Edwards, when he shall have boon chosen, will find an organization ready to his hand whloh any officer might feel honored in commondinfl. It la Interesting to note that tho first official communication signed by Goneral Brownell, upon being commissioned commandant of the Eiovonth Brigade, was an application for a brovot commission as major for Captain Edwards, An Invitation has been oxtonded to tho Twenty third Regiment to visit New Orleans in February noxt for tho purpose of taking part iu tho Mardi Gras festival.

more has beon some talk of Bonding a dotachment Soulh, but it ie not at all likely that tho iuvitation will bo accepted, ae Iho project of a Nowport encampment in tho oourso of noxt Summer Is belug considerably discussed. It is expected that tho now band gallory iu tho armory will bo finished in a few weeks, when a grand concert will bo given, accompanied by military ceremonies, including a review of tho regiment. Bklr mleb drills aud Instruction in the ceremony of guard mounting and tbo duty of sontfnols will constitute an mportaut part of tho armory work of tho Twonty thlrd durlDg the coming Winter. Colonel David E. Auston having rocolvod Ieavo of absence for throo mouths, Lioutonant Colonel Theodore Gates has aseumod command of tho Thirteenth Regiment.

Colonel Auston recontly issuod ono of the most admirable orders ever promulgated by a National Guard commandant. This order providee for a comprehensive and exhaustive courao of thooretlcol and working drills for officers aud non commissioned offl. cers, tho result of whioh cannot prove otherwise than of tho utmost benefit in perfecting the olllcioucy of tho rogimont. The ueadqusrtora nhjht of the Tbirtoonth, reoeutly ohanged to Saturday evening, has beon re stored to Friday night of each woek. An earnest effort is makiug throughout tho rogimont to perpetuate tho good improsslon mado by tho Yorktown trip, and with every prospoct of success.

Iu the Fourteenth ltoglmcnt Colonel James McLeer has undertaken tho task of moklug that command (he boat drilled in tho Second Division, if not In tho State. To this end ho has directed that all men recruited Into tho regiment within the past year roport to him on stated oveulugs for Instruction. Tho recruit class Is formed in the squad drill room, ond poraonally drilled by Colonel McLeer iu tho School of tho Soldier, par ticular attention being paid to tho settings up." A most enoouraglng fooling prevails throughout the regiment, recruiting Is reported active, oompany officers are hard at work, and If Colonol McLoor's expectations aro realized the Fourteenth will hurry Its rival organizations boforo the close of tho season. Slnco tho election and qualidoatlon of Lieutenant Colonol Wundor and Major ParlBotto to tho field of the Thirty second Rogimont affaire In that command have taken ou now impatus. Tho Board of Officers ia a unit In earnestly supporting Colonel Flukelmoior, and ovldancos of now life are visible in ail tho companies.

Vaoauoles among tho lino oflicers aro beiug filled, Company leading off in the election of John Bettenbauser, captain John J. Klein, first lieutenant, and Josoph M. Schcrer, secoud lieutenant. Tho new field officers of tho Forty 3oventh Regi ment, Lioutonant Colonel George Conover and Major Edward F. Gaylor, have passed tho Eleventh Brigade Examining Board and received their commlssioui.

Tho promotion of Assistant Surgeon Edwin II. Ashwln, to be surgeon of tho Forty seventh, la a deserved recognition of an efficient officer. Surgeon Ashwln, according to the Army and Savy Journal, is tho orfly surgeon In the National Guard of tho State who haa compiled with the demaud for annual report. Now that the election vacation Is past, tho drill season will be actively prosecuted in the Fourth street armory. Propositions for membership are bolng recolved by tho several companies, and it is confidently anticipated that a recruiting boom will shortly be In full progress in the It Is announced by authority, that whatever ohangos In the National Guard have been decided upon by tho Albany authorities will eoon bo made public.

TUE INTERNATIONAL MILITARY, MATCH. The spcolal committee of tho National liiflo Association having in charge the subject of au international military matoh between the Katlonal Guard of tho United States and tho Volunteers of Groat Britain, as fully set forth in tho EiOLK of Sunday Otb, met on Tuesday ovenlng, November 0, anddl60ussed tho proposition to organize aud send a team to Wimbledon In July, 1882, lu all Its hearings.

Team to be selected by competition in their several localities, and to not only be steady, rollable shots, who can make ovor 80 per ceut. at 200, 500 and 600 yards, but to be men who can be rolled upon to creditably represent their 8tate under nil tho trying clroumstaucos which 8UJh a team will be placed. Team to leavo New York about tho third woek In June (Wimbledon meeting is about tho socond weok in July), and to assemble at Creedmoor ton days before for organization and proctlco. Whon there the N.

that is, without wind gaugo, and one whioh In the hands of troops. (But this Is a matter to be discussed after the other questions aro sottled). The men should be practiced at the longor rangos as well as at short and mid ranges, and may use any position oxcept at 200 yards. Team to select its own captain. The N.

R. A. feel that the organization of a team of this description will do much for rlflo Bhooting throughout tho National Guard of the country, but Its officers not foel inclined to tako up tho matter unloss It meets with Buch a cordial co operation from the National Guard of the various Statos as to Insure that II will be bo truly representative. Please let us hear from you at your earliest convenience. Verv truly yours.

Geobqb W. Wihoate, GEonoK D. Soorr, JosKPn G. Stoky, Committee, IL Munrire, Monnis B. Fabb, There ts little doubt as to the reception whioh will bo aocordod this proposition, or that enthuelaatio replies will be receivod from those addressod.

Alroady tbo proposed contest has done muoh to increase popular interest in military rlflo practice, while the circumstance that America, after its repeated victories with small bore rifles st the extreme ranges, stands ready and willing to aeoept an Invitation from Great Britain send team of citizen soldiers to compete st short, mid and even long ranges, with military rifles, cannot fall to awaken thi enthusiasm of overy rifleman In the United States.
