A bill introduced by Sherman in the senate says a Washington dispatch providing for a govern ment for Alaska sets up a judicial district in the territory and estab lishes there a district court, with the jurisdiction, civil and criminal, which is given by law to district courts of the United States and such other jurisdiction as may be conferred by the laws of Washing ton territor'. A judge is to be appointed by the president with a salary of three thousand dollars. The bill also provides for the ap pointment of an attorney and marshal for the district, whose fees and salaries shall be the same as those officers in Washington territory. A olerk is also to bo appointed, and two terms in each year are provided for, one at Sitka and the other at Wrangel, with special sessions when neces sary. The general laws of Wash ington territory are extended over Alaska. Three justices of the peace are to bo appointed, to hold court at Sitka, one at Wran rel and the other on the deck of the revenue marine steamer in port along the coast. Ap peals from lustice court must be taken to the district court and fines received by justices arc to be paid to the collector of cus toms. There arc also to be three constables, one of whom is to be jailer. Justices are to have juris diction in all testamentary and probate matters and their courts are to be courts of record. They are also to be ex-otficio U. S. court commissioners and have power to grant writs of habeas corpus. The bill requires the at torney general to compile and print in pamphlet form in the English and Russian languages the general criminal laws of Washing ton Territory and law and practice there relat ng to testimony and probate proceedings, and to place in the hands of tho officers above named, these laws which are to be distributed in Alaska. "Devlisk DcpraTlty." In the Guiteau trial last Friday District Attorney Corkhill hit the mark when he said, uWe present this testimony because we want to show that what defense calls in sanity is nothing more than dev lish depravity." In conversation on the assumption of insanity, an actor of life long experience is re ported as saying: "Guiteau is not insane, but is a very good actor. To be sure, he had the advantage of realistic surroundings and is acting for his life, but still he deserves credit for his cleverness. He has not, perhaps, brains enough to be insane, but certainly sufficient to be very dangerously eccentric. One strong evidence against the idea of insanity is the fact that he grows weary at times and rests 'himself just as a man acting on the'Stag'e. Now fatigue is some thing utterly unknown to a man insane. The brain of an insane man is never wearied. This fel low Guiteau nurses himself up to the acting point, either by pre tending to write, or hiding himself behind newspapers which he pre tends to read. It is much easier to act where everything is real than where everything is adver tised and is artificial as on the stage and in a play. There is no instance where one in the most perfect sobriety could stagger into a bar room and act the drunken man so offensively and effectually, that- he would be hustled out by the proprietor. He might do the same act with dou ble realistic force on the stage and not impress the audience at. all. Thus it is with Guiteau." - Jno. W. Forney die'd at his res idence in Philadelphia last Friday morning. The clever correspondents and sensationalists who aro forever springing upon the country somo wonderful discovery of some ab normal transaction, have now some thing less wonderful than usual, and yet sufficiently sensational to excite tho comment they crave. The latest hobgoblin is an alleged scheme to obtain possession of the northern Mexican states durino- O Grant's second term; the particu lars of which according to the repertorial detectives have just come to light. The plot was to create fraudulent claims against oar sister republic founded on cat tle stealing and unwarranted in cursions by Mexicans upon Ameri can soil. Upon this claims were to be formulated, which, being ap proved by Congress, demand was to be made upon the Mexican government, and that government refusing, war was to be declared, with Mexico as the aggressive party. The object was seizure and confiscation of the border ter ritory, for the purpose of parcel ling out said territory among those of Grant's adherents who, by reason of such largess, would lend their aid to his third-term scheme. And the best of it all is that a good many Eastern papers believe it, and write long-winded editorials, about the danger that existed and how happily all tisis terrible disaster was averted. A novel enterprise is reported from Ontario, where the editor of the Woodstock Sentinel issues a circular stating his project for tln emigration of the surplus female population from Ontario to Mani toba. It is stated that he has al ready obtained the address of thou sands of young women in the prov ince, aud is collecting others. To all those the circular above refer red to is sent, as well as a blank which candidates are expected to fill up. The information sought (or in the blank is more or less of a formal character calling for in formation regardiug age, color of hair, eyes, religion, kind of temper, county wherein residing, kind of husband desired, widower or young man. These bills when filled up. will be forwarded to the editor, who will go through them all and classify. They are expected to be in before the New Year, and the work of classification will then be begun and finished before March 1, when the list will be printed in classified form and great numbers of them sent up to the Northwest for distribution among the wifeless men. On the 1st of April the premier train-load of the ladies will start for Winni peg under the personal charge of the editor, assisted by a eorps of matron ladies from all parts of Ontario. President Arthur is disap pointing all hands. The men who indorsed petitions for oGcc by writing "One of the gallant 30G," are disappointed to find that they can't use him; the men who feared that he would carry his last hum mer's quarrel into the White House, are now aggreably disap pointed to find that the lesson of July 2d is not lost, and that "His Accidency" seems to be deter mined to be President of the Na tion rather than leader of a fac tion of the Republican party. Claim is made that the election of Keifcr as speaker was due to an Arthur -Cameron -Conkling-Grant combination, but that is simply charging him with that which his aspersers were desirous of having him do that they might weaken tho Administration. By thft burning of the King theatre at the Austrian capital last Thursday night four hundred per sons lost their lives.
