Potter died on Wednesday in New York City. He had served three terms in Congress and was a leading member of that body. Mr. Potter was re- cognized by all parties us an upright, pure man. Inpolitics, he was Dem- ocratic. Have the capitalists of Butler awakened from their Rip Van Win- kle nap yet? If they have we desire to say to them, that the Fort Scott, St. Louis & Chicago surveying corps are now at Fort Scott rapidly finish- ing up their office work of the survey recently made by them. If this re- mark is any interruption, please ex- cuse us. During our recent visit to Nevada, we were more favorably impressed with the importance and future pos- sibilities of that growing city than we had previously entertained. Its rail- road facilities are good, far better than Butler’s are at present, and the general outlook for the increase of population and wealth is ancouraging to say the least Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jack- son, James Monroe, Henry Clay, and Daniel Webster died deeply in debt after erving their country for many years, while John Sherman, Robeson, Dorsey, Grant, Blaine, Logan and Company have in their stepped from obscurity to fame, and in a few years country’s service, from poverty to wealth. People can draw their own conclusions as to the way in which this delectable batch of Republican office holders got hold of so much filthy lucre. Peirce City Record :—Our Demo- cratic brethren of the press should not bear down too heavily on the Greenbackers. It is true that the advocates of the fiat-money doctrine are cranks to a greater or less degree ; but we should haye patience with them, for we do not know how soon we may be unfortunate ourselves. — Besides, these Greenbackers have souls to save, and it is the duty ot good christians—as Democratic edi- tors necessarily must be—to strive continuously to yank them out of danger. At 5 o’clock and 36 minutes last evening, the jury in the Guiteau case returned into court a verdict of guilty. Thus ends for the present at least, one of the most remarkable criminal trials that ever occurred in this or any other country. We suppose a motion for a new trial will be entered by the counsel for the defence, which if denied, the defendant will appeal to some court of supervisory juris- ENDED AT LAST. The national farce has ended. The | drop curtain has been drawn, and the result of the tragic scene of July 2nd *81. partially vindicates the efficacy of the people’s government and es- tablishes a precedent, important as it with respect and decision. Atter being out only thirty-five minutes Wednesday, the jury in the Guiteau ! case returned a verdict ot guilty! Thus the question of sanity or in- sanity is deffinitely disposed of, and all that remains for the court to do— unless a new trial is granted, which it is understood his attorney’s will demand—is to pronounce the sen- tence and fix the dav for the execu- tion. As it is not at all probable that a new trial will be granted, the country can take as conclusive, | the verdict of the jury and the decis- ion of the court. ————$—__——_ There was a carpet sewing Thurs- day at Mr. Allen Days. The neigh- bors gathered in and assisted Mrs. Day in sewing together carpets to lay down on the floors of the new} house Mr. Day has recently built on Dakotah street. We met an elderly gentleman who was there and he} said it reminded him of an old fash- ioned Kentucky quilttng. For the moment the aged man reemed to live over again the golden days of youth. | While he was relating to us how} those present enjoyed themselves. In my young days, said he, there were no pullbacks nor banging of hair. We had a fine time, sir. Good evening. Darling wont you take me to the theatre to-night?

Taking depositions, darling, that’s all. Darling was milldewed, he was. There are several circumstances con- | spiring to depress business. In the first place the short crop of the past year, and inthe second place the coutinued fall of ramhas made _ the roads almost impassible and people find it difficult to go anywhere, and thirdly those who have money are holding to it in dread of another light crop. As soon as spring opens and the crops furnish a good outlook business will revive again. That’s the way we put it down. There has been a considerable quantity of ice housed in the city. Another ice season of no longer du- ration than that of a few days ago would give those, by the exercise of a little diligence and industry, who are prepared to save it an opportu nity of getting enough to supply the wants of thecity perhaps. Ice cream Jemima, ice cream forever; ice cream Jemima, let’s take a plate to- gether. When? Why, next sum- diction. At least three years will elapse before the case will be finally disposed of.

The prisoner at! |this time was very nervous, and} | finally at his request was allowed to | go into the marshal’s room. About | 5 o'clock the court ordered a 1 | HALF HOUR RECESS, | and the court officers stepped out tor | jluncheon, while the audience re- | mained sitting in the court room. It} | was thought the jury would take but } a short time to reach a decision, and | this belief was well founded. At 5:30 the court returned. and Guit- | eau was again placed in the dock. ; Candles had been placed inthe court | room, and shed a flickering, ghastly light over the scene. Guiteau was watched closely by the audience, but | was apparently not in the least af- | fected by the circumstances of the | moment. Speaking to one of his | guards he said: ‘*Oh, they can’t | acquit me, after that, } i ‘help but charge.’’ A LITTLE LATER the jury filed into the court room, and the foreman announced that a verdict had been arrived at. ‘The clerk asked the nature ot the verdict, | and Foreman Hamlin _ replied, | **Guilty as indicted.’” i Some one im the audience started } applause, and a cheer was_heard in a corner, but was quickly sup- | ressed. | ‘If the court please,’’ said Mr. Scoville, but he was interrupted by | the clerk, who proceeded: H “Gentlemen of the jury, hear the | verdict, as rendered by your tore: man, who says that you find the d fendant, Charles J. Guiteau, guilty, | as indicted. So say you all?’’ i “So say we all,’” repeated the ju- rymen in chorus Guiteau sat immovable tered not a word. Mr. Scoville ¢ - polled.

The court | |said he could have four days in} | which to do so. | Mr. Scoville then said he hoped | that if there was any privilege he was entitled to, at that time, he | should not be deprived of it. He did | not know the customs of the court. Judge Cox told him a motion tor: arrest of judgment could also be filed within four days. | Thecourt then turned to thank 'the jury, but Guiteau’s voice was/ again heard. “GOD WILL AVENGE THIS OUTRAGE,”” jhe said and that was all. ‘Lhere! | | was no further scene and the priso- | j ner prepared to go out.

The Sun’s light is for mankind and womankind of every sort: but its genial warmth is for the ood, while it pours hot discomfort on tne blistering backs of the persistently wicked. The Sun ot 1868 was a newspaper of a kind. It discarded many of the forms, and a multitude ot the superfluous words and phrases of ancient journalism. It uudertook took to report in fresh, suc- cinct, unconventional way all the news of he world, omitting no event of human interest, and commenting upon affairs with the fearlessness of absolute indepen- dence The success of this experiment was the success of Tuk Sun. It affected a permanent change in the style ol Amer- ican newspapers. Every {important journal established in this country in the dozen years past has been modelled atter Tue Sun. Every important journal al- ready existing has been modified and bet- tered by the torce ot THE Sun’s example. Tue Sun ot 1882 will be the same out- spoken, truth telling, and interesting newspaper. By a liberal use of the means which an abundant prosperity affords, we shall make it better than ever before. We shail print all the news, putting it into readable shape, and measuring its importance, not by the traditional yard- stick, but by its real interest to the peo- ple. Distance trom Printing House Square is not the first consideration with the Sun. Whenever anything happens worth reporting we get the particulars, if it happens in Brooklin or in Bokbara In politics we have decided opinions; and are accustomed to express them in lan- guage thatcan be understood, We say what we think about men and events. That habit is the only secret of THe Sun’s policical course. Tue WEEKLY Sun gathers into e pages the best matter of the seven daily issues. An agricultural department of unequalled merit, full market reports, and a liberal proportion of literary, sci- entific, and domestic intelligence com- plete THe WEEKLY SUN, and make it the best newspaper for the farmer's house- hold that was ever printed.
