Our foreign news yesterday presented
two clond spots in tho European horizon.
In tho first place it was stated that on the
Paris bourse the brokers were charging 15
to 20 per cent, interest per annum on past
due and open accounts—showing a singu
lar fact that while In thrifty France money
is worth a cent and a half per month,
in America It Is begging employ
ment at 4 per cent, a year. These facts
do not consist, and are likely to bo follow
ed by a change before long.
But the most portentous cloud is
Ireland, and it was the confident report
that the difficulties there were about to
culminate in civil war, and the elements
of a bloody and remorseless struggle were
surely gathering. Wo can conceive of no
worse nows than this. Hostilities between
these two islands have ever been marked
by a cruel and destructive ferocity at which
humanity shndders, and, in the nature of
tho case, seem to be morally incurable.
There is no practical condition of peace
bat in the subjugation of the Irish under
atill vaster accumulations of woe and
more Inextinguishable memory
wrongs. Irish independence is an imprac
ticable myth. It Is inconceivable that the
vast empire of Great Britain should be
put in the constant hazard of a small, in
dependent and unfriendly power, with
merely a narrow sea between them, and
which, in any national emergency,
might inflict ruinous injury on Great
Britain. Besides, there is no sound reason
to suppose, if the two islands were Inde
pendent, peace would be assured. The
probabilities are that, as it was in Scot
land before the union, war and mutual
devastation would be the almost normal
condition. The elements of strife would
be constantly gathering, and the opportu-
mties for mutual wrong would only in
crease. If there is an ontbreak of hostil-
ites now civilization will deplore it. No
man will have a word of apology for it on
either side, and the men who are foment
ing the trouble under the idea of benefit
ing Ireland may go into sackcloth and
ashes.

“Gulteau’s Insanity”
The common method of escaping tbe
gallows by the plea of insanity has not
been adopted by the assassin Guitean.
The nsnal plan is to set np an incoherent
mumbling—to strain the eyeballs and the
mouth in horrid grimaces—in short, to do
all other things which the pseudo-crazed
imagines a sane man would not attempt
to do. Ho is setting up the loss of rea
son and, therefore, he orders his discourse
and action by all that be has seen or can
remember or imagine of tbe probable or
actual tricks and capers of tho lunatic
asylum. Guiteau Las missed a figure by
advancing his plea of unreason and irre
sponsibility iu the way of solid argument
and circumstantial memory. He will
show liiinself'insane by proving that he is
in full possession of all tho faculties and
characteristics of a .shrewd and self-pos
sessed man; while it seems to ns he should
have come into court a raving or a maud'
lin and incoherent imbecile—not arguing
points of medical practice, or of moral ac
countability, or of judicial malpractice.
As a crazy man, he could not hope to con
viuce the courts by his logic, which could
serve only one purpose of giving the lie
to his plea. Shakespeare makes memory
the test of sanity:
“Bring mo to the test
And I tbe matter will reword,
Which madness would but gambol from.”
But Guiteau’s argument Is a careful re
hearsal of facts, and a logical argument
from them to prove himself ontside the
pale of reason and accountability.
Now, while it is true that the judicial
annals of America show that our juries
are inclined to give an unreasonable
force to this plea of insanity, Guitean is
badly advised when he employs himself
as his own advocate to show that he is
insane. Tbe persistent and orderly plan
of this barbarous assassination—the cun
ning with which he sought to enlist parti
san malice, greed and selfishness in its de
fer.se, all show canning, address and
method. It is easy to be seen that In all
these he lacked sober judgment, sound
sense and a good conscience, but so he
has done In every act of his life. In notii-
Ing has he shown himself a moral, con
scientious man. In everything he seems
to have displayed the liar, cheat and dis
honest man. But he never betrayed any
mental or moral incapacity to do right If
he had desired to do U.
Every man In the world who hopes to
benefit himself by fraud and injustice is,
In a certain sense, mentally unsound.
That is to say, his judgment js perverted
through moral self-degradation, for which
he is just as responsible as for acts to
which that perverted judgment and con
science have betrayed him. Into what
senseless folly, for example, is tho man
betrayed who hopes to better his condi
tion by cheating and stealing. Wby, the
experience of mankind Is but a record of
self-ruined cheats and thieves; bnt who
will set up the plea that, because a man
bas so far co-operated with Satan as to
impair bis own judgment and produce in
himself a total insensibility to the rights
and interests of others, he has ceased to
be an accountable creature? No, be de
serves the greater punishment.
There is a law which ought to be en
forced in the interests of humanity; and
that Is the law of self-preservation. When
men, by persistently bad habits of getting
drank and carrying deadly weapons, or
by notorious indulgence in cruel and
reckless tempers, or cultivating a spirit of
indifference or enmity to the wellare of
others, become dangerous to public safety,
it is as necessary to effectually suppress
them as it Is to kill rattlesnakes and mad
dogs. Such ‘-insanity” cannot be permit
ted, aud those inclined to Indulge in it
should be taught that it is as dangerous
to tlicm as it Is to others, and must be
held in check. Tbe acquittal of Guitean
on this absurd plea by a United States
court, would give new vitality to this
scheme for defrauding justice, and outrage
the practical common sense of the coun
try.

Tbe Incomlnr Cotton Crept
There is no more interesting topic, at
this time, than the size of the Incoming
cotton crop. We take from the Colum
bia Register, of last Thursday, some fig
ures and estimates based on a recent pub
lication—“The Cotton Movement”—by
Hessra. Latham, Atexander & Go., which lateTuoug written by a young man in Bos- -
make the sum total to be from 4,601,809
bales of an average of 480 pounds to 5,
Consolation.
Roe Orleans Times•
“My Lovo is Gone,” is the title of the.
500,000 bales. Either figure deducted
from the product of last year (0,700,000)
will show a material deficit.
And now, how is this estimato made
out? First, then, what is the Southern
area in cotton, as reported in the ‘‘Cotton
Movement.” Says the Register:
Wo find an estimated statement of it in
the "Cotton Movement,” page 88, which is
of much authority, for this estimate is not
an idlo guess made by a man in a corner
but by a great banking and cotton bouse
that cannot afford toindnlge in haphazard
statements. The ootton area given ns for
1881-82it: North Carolina, 1,096,000acres;
South Carolina, 1,696,0(X); Georgia, 2,894,-
000; Florida, 263,000; Alabama, 2,762,000;
Mississippi, 2,394,000; Louisiana, 922,000;
Texas, 2,564,000; Arkansas, 1,176,COO; Ten
nessee, 924,000; all others, 105,000; total,
16,761,000 acres.
The aggregate yield is arrived at by es
timates of product per acre. The average
per acre last year was 18Si pounds, on
which 70 per cent, is claimed for the
present crop, which, on the above acreage,
would produce tbe first estimate,say 4,041,-
809 bales, and show a deficit on last year
of about two million bales. Upon an .80
per cent, allowance a crop of 5,000,000
would be produced, showing a deficit of
about a million and a half,and upon an 87
per cent, allowance the crop would be 5,
500,000 and show a million deficit.
With these facts before us, says the
Register, as soon as they are confirmed
beyond all dispute, tbeD, as Latham,
Alexander & Co., in the introductory cir
cular of their “Cotton Movement,” say,
'prices must greatly advanco” and quota'
lions must rapidly go up, so that a 5,000,-
000 bale crop shall be worth to us here not
less than $58 to $00 per 480 pound bale,
or $290,000,000 to $300,000,000, as against
last year’s crop of 0,605,000 bales at $10
per bale, or $260,000,000, thus showing^a
gain of from $30,000,000 to $40,000,000 in
favor of the present crop. How far this
will bo realized to producing districts
somewhat problematical, but it is not like
Iy that the planters will be stripped of all
this benefit.

Lost Week’s cotton Figures.
According to the cotton exchange figures
sent us yesterday, the receipts at all the
United States ports since last Friday week
were 181,771 bales, against 234,154 bales
for the conesponding week of last year-
showing a loss on the week of 52,3S3 bales.
This added to the deficit repotted by the
New York Chronicle of the week before,
will show an aggregate falling off of
177,ES5 bales since first September last.
This is small, but pretty clearly indicates
wbat is coming. The weather has been
highly favorable to gathering the crop.
Picking has not been interrupted by
single storm, nor has It been curtailed
much, so far, by tbe scanty produco of the
fields, which cannot be felt till the work
or gathering has been well progressed
with. A half filled pitcher pours as freely
as a full one, nearly to the extent of its
contents. So a meagre cotton field will
yield liberally until the full bolls become
scarce and tho picker has to reach about
for material to fill his sack. About one-
sixth of last year’s yield has now been
marketed, and it i3 not time yet for any
material shortage to be shown.

conditions germinates and produces this
terrible disease. The lecturer visited a
town on Lake Michigan which had been
devastated by this plague, and found there
this plant growing in great abundance.

damage. For over four weeks farmers
have been nnable to do tbo usual fall work
and marketing. The grain in stacks is
much damaged. Potatoes and rooi s in the
fields are rotting in tho mnd. Much corn
in the shocks has sprouted and is rained.
The outlook generally is bad. He believes
the failure of the farmers to get their
products to market, etc., will prove disas

believes the damage to whoat in stacks and
in shocks in tho fields is very serious.

Anetber Warning for Susceptible
Congressmen.
Western Press Telegram from Washington.
The fact that Hon. John B. Clark, Jr.
member of Congress from tho eleventh
district of Missouri, had separated from
his wife became publio to-night. About a
rear ago Clark married Mrs. C. Jacoby
Weil, a window with tbreo children. Re
port says that the happiness of the family
was not of long duration, and for some
time the wife has given way to bad compa
ny. Yesterday Mr. Clark left the house,
leaving his wife in possession. Mrs. Weil
was a dashing yonng widow, who kept a
fashionable boarding-honso on Fonrtoonth
street. Gen. Clark boarded there, and
married her several months ago. It
is said that some of Clark’s friends felt
constrained to warn him of misconduct on
the part of his wife, and after satisfying
himself that she bad some bad associates,
he remonstrated with her. She did not
mend her ways, and her husband was
forced to leave her. Ho will apply for a
divorce.

Hot a Blander.

The Atlanta Constitution intimates, par-

blunder’’not to havo elocted David Davis
president pro tern, of the Senate instead
of allowing the Kepnblicans to do so—that
the Democrats thereby could have gained
tbo “fruits of their victory” at the last ses
sion of tho Senate. Tho Constitntion is
doubtless honest in its opinion, but it
should remember “cursos like chickons
come home to roost.” It would have been
Democratic treachery for Democrats to
have eleoted Davis, an independent Re-
inblican. (occasionally voting with the
Democrats), over a true and tried Demo
crat, like the illustrious Thomas F. Bay
ard. It would have been placing a premi
um upon David Davis’ kind of politics. It
would have been ignoring statesmanship,
patriotism and party fealty, and honoring
a time-serving sycophant, who has no fix-
odnefs of principle in the firmament of
politics. It wonld haTO l>ceu an induce
ment to ambitious place-hunters to aban
don party, tarn David Davises and ait on
the fence and cry out, “I am for sale!
The party gets me that promotes me
over its true followers:’’ It would
have been giving the reward of virtue and
honorable servioe to a nondescript, trick
ster land trafficker. In Democratic coro
nation, let the head that is crowned bo that
of a Democrat, though the crown glitters
but for a day. There should be honesty
and fidelity in politics as well asinreli-
1 (ion, and the party that proves treacherous
to its friends, does not deserve success. We
think tbe Democrats in refraining to form
a coalition with David Davis’ independent
radicalism, and by electing a member of
the Democratic organization president pro
tem., is a consistent set worthy of admira
tion. It is something the party can refer
to in fighting its future battles without a
blush of shams, and which independent op
ponents cannot use as an argument in their
Ann Kokalf TKa “frnita nf vintnrv**
own behalf. The “fruits of victory’’ gained
by the sacrifice of consistency and fidelity
wonld have been as brief as Bayard’s in
cumbency and turned to ashes and bitter
ness on Democratic lips.

Tbe Clark Scandal.
Washington Special to Philadelphia Timse.
The domestio troubles of General John
B. Clark, member of Congress from Mis
souri, aro the general subject of discussion.
The oase excites much interest, inasmuch
as it possesses many of the sensational
points of the famous Obristiancy case.
Mrs. Clark is out in an evening newspaper
with her side of the story, and prononnees
the story that she was ont at night with
other men a tissue of falsehoods. Mrs.
Clark says that at her father’s hotel at
Atlantia City last summer the General came
in one night intoxioated and hit her in tho
face, knocked her down and kicked her,
and since then he has treated her in a sim
ilar manner. He was insanely jealous.
Both parties ore to rash into court with
their grievances in s divorce case, which
will probably rival tho Christiancy scandal
Living Eight Weeks With m Broken
Spinal Column.
• Gicinnett Herald.
An inquest was held last Tuosdnyover
the body of Mrs. Stevenson, who died on
the day before. Tho jury was summoned
by Sheriff Patterson and repaired to the
late residence of the deceased,where a post
mortem examination was made by Drs.
Mitchell, Winn, Riley and Mahaffey. Tho
examination was very thorough and showed
that the spinal colamn was broken, two or
three of tbo balls having struck it. One of
the balls was broken to pieces nnd lodged
in and near the spina. It was tho opinion
of some of the doctors that even the spinal
cord was out. It is therefore not aston
ishing that there was a complete paralysis
of the lower extremities. The most ro-
markablo fact connected with the case is
that she did not die immediately. How
she lived eight weeks with such wounds
is a matter of surprise to the surgeons.

Extract from James Barron Hope's Poem at

An ancient chronicle has told
That, in tho famous days of old,
In Antioch underground
The self-same lance was found
Uubitten by corrosive rust—
The lar.ee the Roman soldier thrust
In Christ’s bare side upon the Tree.
And that it brought
A mighty spell
To those who fought
The Infidel,
And mighty victory.

Friends of General Longstreet express
some confidence in the opinion that be will
bo called into the cabinet. It seems that
several Republican Senators have repre
sented to President Arthur that tho ap
pointment wonld be a good one. It has
never previously been made public that at
the time Mr. Key went ont of the cabinet of
Mr. Hayes General Longstreet was very
strongly pressed as his successor, and at
onetime Mr. Hayes positively promised
the friends of the ex-Confederate general
that he should receivo the appointment.
Afterwards the Tennessee Kepnblicans
represented to-Mr. Hayes that if a citizen
of that tituto wus appointed the Republi
cans conld elect tho governor and carry the
Legislature, thus securing a United States
Senator. This decided Mr. Hayes to ap
point Mr. Maynard, and General Long
street was then given Mr. Maynard’s place
as minister to Tnrkey. Now Genoral
Grant, Mr. Conkling, Senator Kellogg, of
Louisiana, and others close to President
Arthur have assured .him tbat tho selection
of General Longstreet for a cabinet posi
tion as a representative Southern man
would bo wi'c; that tho hundred thousand
or more Southern men whom General
Longstreet at onotimoand another com
manded still respect him for his parity and
dignity of obarcter,and would take pride in
his elevation, and that it wonld be yery
favorably received all over tbe Sooth.
