S. Boyd Martin, one of Dauphin
county's Commissioners, has been arrest
ed and held to bail in .$1,500 to appear at
Pittsburg and answer a charge of con
spiracy in connection with other agents
of the graveyard insurance companies.
This man Martin is the individual who is
directly responsible for all the scandal
that has been attached to Governor Iloyt's
name in connection with speculative in
surance. lie organized a mutual com
pany in Ilarrisburg, long ago, before the
graveyard policy was thought of, and in
duced several prominent gentlemen to be
come associated with him in the business.
Subsequently he obtained recommenda
tions from Governor Iloyt, Senators Cam
eron and Wallace, and others high 111
authority, setting forth that the company
was worthy of the trust and confidence
of the people. Afterwards Martin began
to dabble in graveyard policies, using the
recommendations given especially that of
the Governor, to advance his work.
Hearing of it, all the original officers, we
believe, save Martin, resigned, and at
last, through the efforts of the ex-officials
a surrender was made of the old com
pany's charter. But Martin plied the
business, meanly using the letters of com
mendation given originally in behalf of
the old company, and by their use suc
ceeded in securing many favors. Gov
ernor Iloyt had printed a lithograph
letter denouncing the business and ex
plaining the swindling game Martin was j
playing, and these were sent out in return j
to the many inquiries forwarded to the j
State Department concerning Martin j
aud his business. But the name of the |
Governor and others continued to be
scandalized on account of the use made j
of them by Martin, a use whicn is now I
likely to lie ended. One thing is sure, if:
Mr. Boyd Martin is convicted and sen- j
taueed, it is not at all likely that his!
friends will ever have the cheek to go be- j
fore the Pardon Board in his behalf.— !

John Bellingham, whose, crime nearest
resembles that of Guiteau, was put on his
trial on the 15th of May, 1812. for having
killed Spencer Perceval, the English Min- i
istcr, May 11—four days previous. The j
defence was the same as in Guiteau's
case—that he was insane; but the pris
oner, who took an eager part in the pro
ceedings, delivered a short, sensible, |
speech, complained that the trial had;
been hurried on with indecorious speed,
and the documents he relied upon for his
defence bad been taken away from him. j
The speech was fatal to its utterer; and ;
although his counsel, Mr. Alley, brought j
forward affidavit after affidavit to show
that Bellingham was mad, the jury ans-1
wered in the affirmative Harrows' (the i
Crown Prosecutor) oft repeated quest- j
ion, " Was the prisoner at the bar, at the ;
time lie committed this crime, capable of :
distinguishingtietwcen right and wrong?" j
The revised census for 1880 just pub-'
ished, places the population of the United
States at 50,155,783. being an increase of
about thirty per cent, since 187 d. This
country ranks second in population among
the world's great powers. European Rus
sia contains about G0,000,000 inhabitants,
Germany 43,000,000, Austra 37,000,000.
I' ance 30,000,000, and England and Wales
25 000,000. Basing our computation upon
the present rate of increase of the nations
named, 20 years hence the United States
will have secured the first place,
with a population of of 85,000,000. Rus
sia will then contain 71,000,000, Germany
48.000.000, France 38,000,000 and England
and Wales 27,000,000.
A number of young Englishmen are
working on a farm at Le Mars, la. They

George Law, a millionian, is dead at
his late residence in New Yor'r city. He
began life as a hod carrier, and could not
read or write till after he was married.
He rose to be one of the greatest and

once a politician of the Know Nothing
, stripe. He leaves an immense fortune.
I The rout's Washington special says
Scoville is now very confident that Gen
• eral Butler will take part in the defense
- of Guiteau before the trial ends. It is re
-5 ported that in \ lew of this probability,
- printed copies of the testimony are sent
-! regularly to him.
| The convicted directors of the defunct
I Mechanics and Laborers Savings Bank, of
- I '
, . Jersey City, have been refused a new
r trial. The accused are prominent citizens
} and the prospects of their being sent to
j State prison has created a sensation.
