Galveston, Nov. 15, 1881.
The investigating committee to
inquire into the $10,000 bond
question, held a meeting in
the city council chamber to-night. The
Mayor preferred two charges against the
city clerk, one for withholding the reso-
lution of Alderman Marlow from the city
council lor eight weeks, which declared
the bonds invalid, in accordance with a
decision of the supreme eourt, and the
other in deceiving him as to the nature of
the bonds brought to him to sign. The
city clerk shows conclusively the
reason that the resolution was not
brought up, was that the council adjourn-
ed before new business was reached, and
that the Mayor and board of Aldermen
were cognizant that the resolution was
pending. There was a good deal of cross-
firing, but nothing was definitely settled,
and the committee adjourned until Thurs-
day evening, when the examination will
be resumed. The investigation showed
the criminal negligence of the mayor, in
recklessly signing the bonds, without ex
amining the vouchers. The committee
denied the clerk the right ot counsel, and
from the manner in which the investiga-
tion is being conducted, it will be difficult
for the committee to arrive at any
correct result as to who
is culpable. Two of the most important
witnesses are absent, the city treasuer
who receipted for the bonds, and the
chairman of the finance committee. The
treasurer is in New York, and alderman
Crawford is absent for his health, but has
been telegraphed for. The investigation
promises to be prolonged and acrimon-
ious. The public are debarred and none
but witnesses, those implicated and mem-
bers of the press are admitted.
The entrances at the custom house to-
day were the British steamship Harbin-
ger, from Mlddleboro. England, with 9,
350 steel rails; the Norwegian bark Libera,
from Newport, England with 1,807
bar3 railway iron; the Norwegian
brig Alva Scotlord, with 364 tons of
coal; steamship Guadalupe from New
York, and Morgan from Brashear, with
general merchandise.
The Morgin sailed his evening for In-
dianola.
The new steamship Gaudalupe is some-
what larger than the Colorado, of the
same line, and is the finest vessel now
plying the Galvesou trade.
Two men named Win. Ward and Gus
Genneson, employes of the Gulf, Colo-
rado and Santa Fe road, were taken to
the infirmary this morning in a crippled
condition by the police authorities. They
stated that they had been thrown from a
train on the Santa F© road while en route
to this city.
The criminal district court commenced
its deliberations this morning.
Iteceipts of cotton; to-day were 1,481
bales; sales of 1,925 bales were reported ;
market closing steady and unchanged.

Coleman, Nov. 15, 1881.
The finest wheat fields in the country
can be seen around Coleman. Fields of
from one hundred to two hundred acres
are covered with this excellent product
Coleman is alive with business. Teams
from the railroad are coming in every
day, heavily laden with freight.
We have had no ice in this section as
yet. Light frosts, with several cold
nights, have caused a brownish color on
the grass on the plains.
This is said to be the finest sheep range
in the state. Several parties are in town
looking for sheep ranges in the vicinity of
Coleman.
Cattle and horses and sheep look well,
and grass could not be better.
The commissioners court is in session.
The people are wanting a courthouse.
The building used for that purpose is lia-
ble to break down at any time.
School finances are good, and a church
is in course of erection,

Ranger, Nov. 15,1831.
One Alex. McKay, a stone cutter, who
has been employed here on the stone quar-
ries for some time, took French leave last
night for parts unknown, leaving behind
him numerous bills unpaid. His credi-
tors are principally merchants and hotel
laudlords. For the benefit of other un-
suspecting ones, who he may try his hand
upon, we give briefly his description, and
trust the officers who may See this will
keep their eyes skinned. He is about six
feet two inches high, slender build, light
brown hair, whiskers same color and very
short; hs has consumption and is subject
to hard spells of coughing. When he
took his departure he was under bond to
appear before the next district court for
carrying concealed weapons.

Special to Democrat.
Comanche, Nov. 15,1881.
The large acreage of wheat sown ha
been totally destroyed by the worms, but
with renewed energy our planters are
plowing again.
The spirit of pasture building is poss-
essing many of our people. Thousands
of acres are being placed under fence.
Health good, and business fair. Re-
ceipts of cottun is exceeding the
amount predicted.
The town is improving by the erection
of many new buildings, including a new
Baptise church house.
Our jail has but two convicts, and our
people are more than usually temperate as
well as moral, these being the melancholy
days the saddest of the year, when it is a
little too warm for whisky and almost too
cold for beer.

Washington, Nov. 15.—The pres-
sure to obtain admission to the
court room this morning was nota-
bly greater than it was yesterday.
After they admitted two or
three score of well dressed peo
pie, including Pennsylvania mem
bers of congress, accompanied by
their ladies, the doors were
thrown open, and there was a sud
den influx of representatives
of the rough element. The
five jurors who were selec-
ted and sworn yesterday, were
all in attendance. Judge Cox took
his seat and the court was formal-
ly opened a few minutes after 10
o?clock, aud immediately after-
wards the counsel in the case and
the brother aud sister of the pris-
oner entered. After the lapse of
a few minutes Guiteau was rushed
into the courtroom in the custody
of a half dozen policemen aud dep-
uty marshals. The handcuffs were
removed from his wrists, and he
shook hands with his sister and
brother,and took the seat reserved
for him between them, and his
counsel, Mr. Scoville, then sub-
mitted an affidavit and made appli-
cation for an order for an addi-
tional number of witnesses, which
order, the District Attorney mak-
ing no objection, was made by
the court. Then the additional
panel of seventy-five, who was
summoned last evening, was j
called, most of the persons re-
sponding when called. Guiteau
manifested less nervousness and
excitability than he had displayed
yesterday, although in his whis-
pered conversation with his
brother he was quite demonstra-
tive aud earnest in his manner. A
colored barber, named Howard,
was the first juror to be called
and examined as to his fitness to
serve. His answers showed him
to be not disqualified from ser-
vice, but the defense challenged
him peremptorily, being the
fourth peremptorily challenged.
The next was a man named Lynch,
who had a decided opinion that
Guiteau ought to be hanged
or burned. He was of
course excused, as was
also the next, named Bailey, who
declared Ms belief that Guiteau
was crazy. The next was a color-
ed man, remarkable lor his frilled
shin bosom and dramatic manner,
who related a history of his past
life and then was premptorily
challenged by the defense. In fact,
it is understood, that Guiteau is
resolved not to have any negroes
in the jury. The next was an
Irishman, named Mike Sheehau,
with a very pronounced brogue,
who had no opinion on the sub-
ject of Guiteau’s crime, except
that the man was out of his head.
He was sworn as the sixth juror.
Win. Talbott, an iron worker,
answered all questions to the sat-
isfaction of the defense. He says
he had never bothered his head
on the question of Guiteau’s guilt,
but was challenged peremptorilly
by the prosecution. Several oth-
ers in succession were excused on
their statement that they had
formed decided opinions. Oue of
them believed that Guiteau ought
to be hanged, and another would
require medical testimony to
change his opinion. A long faced
colored young mau,named Foster,
declared that he was perfectly
free from any prejudice in the
matter, but admitted that he had
mentioned the murder of Mr. Gar
field to several parties as quite a
serious excitement. He was dial
lenged by the defence. Samuel F
Hobbs, a native of Maryland and
a plasterer by trade, answered
all questions satisfactorily and
was sworn as the seventh juror.
G. W. Gales, a yooug^man, a na-
tive of Washington, and a mer
chant by trade, answered ail ques-
tions satisfactorily, and was sworn
as the eighth juror. After that
for about an hour, every man
who was called confessed he
had formed a firm, decided or .un-
alterable opinion on the question
of the prisoner’s guilt, and was ex-
cused. There wa» one exception,
in the person of a colored man
named Ralph, Woraily, a plasterer
by occupation, who thought he
could render a fair verdict;
said he had not read more about
the case than he did in ordinary
cases of that kind; did not. believe
everything he read in the news-
papers, because they had publish-
ed things about himself that were
not true; could not say whether
the President was shot by the
prisoner until he could hear the
testimony; of course, if any insane
man did the shooting, he would be
as much guilty as anybody else;
the crazy part of the business was
something else; no sensible man
could have done such a thing. Af-
ter consultation between counsel
of prisoner and his brother, Sco
ville said the defense would ac-
cept the juror, aud Wormly was
sworn as the ninth juror. The list
of seventy five having been ex-
hausted, the marshal was ordered
to summon another list of seventy-
five for to-morrow. The court at
12:20 p. m. adjourned.
Crop Reports.
Washington, Nov. 15.—The fol-
lowing statements showing the
condition of the cotton, corn and
wheat crops were issued at the de-
partment of agriculture. Cotton
returns of November 1st, from the
ten principal cotton growing
states, give indications of a yield
per acre comparatively less than
last year. The drought, which was
the cause iu all, was most severe
in the states west of the Missis-
sippi, and the reported decrease
in these states is thirty-three per
cent, in Louisiana, forty per cent,
in Texas and nearly sixty per
cent. in Arkansas. North
Carolina, on the Atlantic coast,
makes returns of thirty
per cent, less yield than in 1880.
South Carolina, Georgia and Mis-
sissippi show better conditions,
and prospects are good for a crop
not much below that of last year.
In these states the weather is re-
ported as having been favorable
during the month, and the pros-
pect of a fair top crop was good.
Florida reports a decrease of
15 per cent; Alabama an increase
of 13 per cent; Tennessee an in-
crease of 12 per cent. Virginia is
not included as a cotton state,
its product beiug insignificant.
The average yield per acre of
wheat in 1881, as shown by our
returns, is ten and one-half bushels,
against thirteen and one-tenth in
1880, indicating a decrease of about
twenty per cent, or one hundred
million bushels from “.last year’s
product, which reached nearly
five hundred millions. Along the
Atlantic coast the yield has; not
varied greatly from that of the pre-
vious season, but in the interior
and Western states there has been
a great falling off, caused by a
severe winter, cold spring,drought
and in several states, insect rav-
ages. But while the quantify of
the crop is reduced, the quality is
generally reported to be very '
good.
Corn returns show an average
yield of twenty and a half bushels
per acre of corn, indicating a fall-
ing off of about 25 per cent, from
the crop of 1880, caused^chiefly by
general and protracted droughts
during the growing season, and by
excessive rains since the crop was
harvested, which have done great
damage in many sections, especial-
ly in the Ohio and Mississippi val-
leys. The chinch bug has also
been very destructive in the same
region. The quality of the crops
is somewhat below the average.
In Wisconsin and Minnesota there
is a decided increase over last
year’s yield, but those are excep-
tions to the general rule.
Arctic Explorations.
San Francisco, Cal., Nov. 15.—
The Stock Reporter publishes ex-
tracts from a letter from an officer
on the Arctic relief steamer Rog-
ers, dated October 10, at St. Law-
rence Bay, where the Rogers had
arrived the day before. A sledge
party was landed on the Siberian
coast about fifty miles lrom the
East Cape, with two years’provis-
ions, and received orders to sledge
the coast to the north and west as
soon as the ground is covered with
snow. The Rogers had reached
latitude 78.44 north. No land was
visible to the northward, but to
the southward the flight of* birds
indicated land in that direction.
