THE LEGISLATURE'S WORK. [ Correspondence of the Greenville Ji-?p?.j Columbia, S. C., July 5.?Yester day, the 4th, being a national holiday, 'here was no session of the General Assembly, and tbe day was spent by the members in attending a picnic and a schuetzenfest, and in a general and free sidewalk discussion of politics. Both Houses met at five minutes past midnight this morning for the purpose of closing the work of the extra session, which has lasted just nine days. The necessary 'red tape' of the occasion was made as short as possible, the various unimportant amendments to the mea sures passed were adjusted as speedily as might be, and after the ratification of acts, tbe General Assembly adjourned sine die at 4.50 A. M. Tbe work of the session consists of the passage of only eight bills and joint resolutions, as follows : 1. An Act dividing the State into seven congressional districts. 2. A joint resolution submitting a proposed amendment to the constitution of the State, to be voted upon at the approaching general election as follows, in lieu of section 11, of article 2: 'The general election for Senators and Repre sentatives shall be held in every second year in such manner, at such time and at such places as tbe Legislature may provide.' This will, if adopted by the people, make it the duty of the General Assembly to fix the time, f surmise. During the session this morning his 'vindication of his position* was on motion of Mr. Dargan, of Dar ington, expunged from the journal of he House by a unanimous vote. The redistricting of the State has grouped more in bunches the various jandidatcs for Congress. Previously here were many "at large ;' In tbe Fourth District there arc seveu candi lates and possibly one from amougst vbom the Democracy may choose their epresentative. Others may appear on he field, but at present the array is as ollows : Senator Perry and Isaac M. Jryan, Esq., of Greenville ; Mr. Ball, >f Laorens; Mr. Evius, of Spartauburg ; tfr. Yeoniaus, of Columbia; Mr. 31c Sasssick, of Union, and Mr Woodward ?f Fairfieid. Col. Perry is being urged 'or ward by his friends but has not an ?ounced himself as "in the field." Iu he other districts the aspirants are not l few in number, but all seem to take it jently at the start. There arc no new levelopments iu State slates. Kennedy md Bratton "hold their own" for the jrovernorship and as for new aspirants or other State officers there are only un certain possibilities. The skirmish can rass is quiet and peaceful- Gen. Gray, >f Green ville stands firm aud streugtheu ug for comptroller General and is cn touraged with the heartiest eudorse neut of prominent and influential men rom all sections of the State. His iplendid ruu against General ^ratton >n short notice iu 1880. when a vacancy ?ccurred by the resignation of Col. Coit will be remembered. During his two erms as a member of the House of Representatives his persevering energy md ability have given him strength that frill not be easily overcome in the State Convention. There is no denying tbe act that the chances of his nomination ire better than those of any man iu the State, and this is every day evidenced >y unasked expressions of friendship md endorsement. For the Attorney jreneralship the race seems to be lively | f ietwecn Messrs. Haskell and Abney, of j( ctichland ; Senator Bradley, of Pickcns, ooms up well for Secretary of State, his strongest competitor being Mr. Massey ){ York ; Treasurer Richardson is so far without opposition ; Speaker Sheppard's ?laim for the Lieutenant Governorship seems undisputed, and General Mani jauit serenely surveys the prospect of a second term as Adjutant, and Inspector Seneral. There is Eome inquiry after a good ' 'dark horse" for Governor. Judge Wallace is general favorite, Mr. Jeter j J spoken of frequently and there are quite j ' i number of members of the General J2 Assembly who return home with little i j >r no desire to agaiu fill the tedious, ' tiresome, little understood and very J ' thankless task of law making, while Dthers are anxious for another trial. a. 51. h. - ^mu ??? Rev. W. J. Spangler, a Methodist parson, was killed near Mc Alis ter, Ark., by some young Indians whom he i < a ad corrected at school. ' \ The Post-Mortem on Guiteau. The Medical News, of Philadelphia, publishes iu its current number an offi cial accouDt made by Dr. D. S. Lamb of the post-mortem examination of Guiteau's body and brain. According to an agreement with the Re?. Dr. Hicks, tbe custodian of the body, the brain was to be removed and examined without being cut into, and then taken, "properly guarded -and protected." to the Army Medical Museum, where it would be photographed and a cast taken. Then the internal structure of the brain was to be observed and parts of it set apart for microscopical examination.? The entire operation was to be comple ted as far as possible in one day, and notes were to be taken in duplicate.? Tbe examination was conducted by Dr. Lamb, asssisted by Drs. Hartigan and Sowers, and Mr. Schafhirt. Charles Frought, of Jbe Museum, took the photographs. A delay made a cast im practicable and a photograph not entire ly successful. The examination of the body showed that there was a yellowish furrow ex tending around tbe neck in the line of the rope. There was no dislocation or fracture of the spioal column aod no large blood vessels were injured ; but as certain muscles and parts of th? throat were torn, Gui te an must have died of strangulation. There were other signs tending to show that strangulation was the cause of death. An examination of the head showed that the right side of the skull was slightly flattened in front over a space about two inches square. In thickness the skull presented nothing remarkable. The dnra mater, the external mem brane of the brain, was adherent to the skull in different places, notably in the neighborhood of tbe longitudinal sinns, which is on the top of tbe bead, and to the base of the skull. There was some points of congestion. The dura mater, the external tbick membrane, and the pia mater, the in ternal thin membrane of the brain, were found to be adherent to each other and to the brain along a limited part of the longitudinal fissure. The dura mater was slightly thickened in two places.? The inner surface of the skull was smooth md the parts above the eyes were well irehed. The brain was firm. Its weight, Deluding everything to the beginning >f tbe spinal cord, was forty-nine and a balf ounces. Nothing unusual was dis covered in the condition of the blood vessels supplying the brain. The editor of the Medical News in ;ommentiog upon tbe post-mortem ex tmination says : Some deviations from a typically nor nal Drain are referred to iu the report, ! jut they have absolutely no significa- j .ion from the point of view of mental ; lerangement. Adhesions of the dura! nater. and the thickening of the mem- : !>raoe, witbont any evidence of coexis- j ;ent inflammation, cannot be said, indeed j < lo have any pathological significance. ! i [t may be affirmed of Guitean's brain !, ;hat it nresent?^ as .Ut^o-^yj^q-jjs-^^i ^logical change as the brain of onM )fV8 age dying of some other thajLcWT! ttfaldisease. What ma^e disposed ~o 1 mitoscopic investigation, whickM jet :o b m*Je, remains to be seartT Here ihef^^l^sare grea^r?^r uncon jcionffi?5Rii?Jj. and Jjfo differences of >pinion. As the naked-eye appear in ces are so little suggestive of disease, :he minuter changes must be*well forti ?ed by tbe skill and experience of the j nicroscopists undertaking tbe investi- < ration, to be accepted withont reserve. 1 There must be no preconcieved op in- j ons, no previous predictions and no \ Drejudices of any kind on tbe part of lie microscopic experts to give a bias to heir conclusions. They should, in leed, enter on this investigation in the ] ipirit in which the autopsy was con- i I acted.' Drs. Wm. J. Morton and Chas. L. 3an a, who were present at tbe post nortem examination held upon the 3 >ody of Guiteau, have published in the ( :urrent number of the New York Medi :al Record their do tes of the examina- j i ion. Tbcir account agrees essentially with that of Dr. Lamb. They say : 'Although these notes were taken in lependently, we believe they will har nonize essentially with those of Dr. \ Lamb They include all the facts that j ;ould be observed at the time We nuch regret that, owing to shortness of ime, there were not facilities for a nore detailed and complete examina ion.' Generally their notes agree closely vith those of of Dr. Lamb. There are wo or three points of interest in their -eport on the appearance of the brain. They say: 'As regards contour and shape, ex ict studies could not be made. There was no apparent asymmetry of the two ?emispheres. 'The frontal lobes were peculiarly shaped. Looking at them from in front ind above they presented two protru ling points, from which the surface doped away in a concave curve. This )ointed apex of tbe lobes with the con ;avity of the orbital and begioning >f the frontal surface was carefully to ted by all of us at the first exposure md removal of the brain. On the whole it would appear (1) that the brain was marked by an unu sual number of cross and secondary fis sures, especially in the frontal lobes : '2) that it was not of the confluent fis sure type : (3) that the convulsions on ;he two hemispheres were quite asytn netrical.' c The Army Medical Musem in Wash ngton to which Guiteau's body has jeen taken, and where it is said to lave been reduced to a skeleton, was Ford's Theatre duriug the war. The illey by which the undertakers cart 3rought the body to the rear of the mu seum was the one through which Booth escaped after shooting President Lincoln, ind through which, four years later, Sooth's remains were taken to the mu seum to be transferred from the box in which the Government had buried them it the arsenal to a temporary coffin for -euioval to Baltimore, where the final ntcrmcnt took place. The New York Banker and Broker says that the information it gathers from jorrespondents in nearly every State of :he Union points to an unusually heavy Summer and Fall trade (some merchants llready being in the market,) and to ;he largest wheat, corn, oats, hay, to bacco and potato crop ever raised in ;his country, and also to a large cotton ;rop.

Opinions of a Late United States Consul - General on the Causes of the Trouble. [Special Despatch to tbeN. T. World ] Washington, July 8.?Mr. Simon Wolf, lately Consul-G?n?ral at Egypt, explains, the Egyptian situation in a lo cal paper this evening. After classify ing the adherents of the two political parties in Egypt, Mr. Wolf says, in reference to the Europeans in Egypt: "They are, speaking generally, violent opponents of the National party. The French are, almost without exception, speculators in Egyptain stocks, and they complain of the revolution as having caused them financial losses. The Eng lish have for the last seven years calcu lated on Egypt as their political heritage, and are undisguisedly disappointed at a movement which seems to put olf their day of possession. The Italians are di vided, many of them siding with the Nationalists' partly out of jealously of France and England and partly from an honorable love of liberty. The poorer Italians, like the Maltese, have mostly learned Arabic and sympathize with the people. The Americans, Belgians and Swiss, no incoosiderable colony, have from the first accepted the national movement as genuine and given it their support. Tbe sentiment among the educated natives is most hostile against the English and French officials on ac count of their supreme sei^hness and overweening effrontery. - They arrogate everything and assume a patronizing air to the very people who pay them their salaries- The Comptrollers-Gene ral receiv? $15,000 a year. Other foreign officials receive equally extrava gant salaries, while native officials, competent in every way, receive buta pittance, and yet these foreign officials are there in the interest of economy. The natives pay taxes on everything, the Europeans on nothing. Arabi Bey, with whom I was on most intimate terms, is, in my opinion, an honest, and cer tainly from an Egyptain standpoint,' a highly educated and intelligent man. He fully appreciates the position he is in ; he has calculated the cost and will not shrink from the responsibility. He knows all about the United States, its history and struggles, and told me re peatedly that his desire was to have a constitutional form' of government. When I presented him with a copy of the biography of Garfield in French he at once said be would have it translated j into Arabic, so that the youth of Egypt ! could profit by it. At my suggestion he j ordered the translation of tbe Constitu- j tion of the United States into Arabic ! Arabi is no fanatic, hut is a patriot, and ' thus resorts to many expedients and de vices not exactly in consonance with the views of foreigners who have neither love nor sympathy for him or his coun try. The Arab is peaceable, honest, frugal and temperate, thoroughly de vout, and in no manuer more' fauatical ar prejudiced than the Jew or the Chris- j tian. The danger of massacre to the j jew or the Christian^^e^oUaji>p|i-agi L tim?ht?t?tsirrbT^ but rather |pP cupidity and so-called diplo macy of the great powers. Egypt and the whole of Europe could he at peace, tbe thoroughfare of the sanal undisturbed, were England or Prance actuated by disinterested mo tives. All Egypt needs and should bave is a guaranteed neutrality like Belgium or Switzerland. Freed from the poke of Turkey and independent like Etoumania, Serbia or Bosnia, she could ?ntcr into a career of prosperity rivalling ;hatof any country on earth. England f honest would achieve all she needs, the Suez Canal would be unimpeded ind the Eastern question would be shorn )f one-half of its menacing danger. Tbe j bondholders, whose clamor for their j pound of flesh in London and Paris is most audibly beard on the banks of the .Vile, would be fully and amply secured, :br the revenue of Egypt is ?1,000,000 ?ach year over and above its expenses, ind in a very limited time the debt jould be entirely paid off. Therefore what Egypt needs is neutrality guaran teed by all the powers, independence of Turkey, economy in its civil service, ibolition of its army?except for tooJioe purposes?and last, but by do nmns [east, common schools, in which the modern languages would be taught and spoken." Mr. Wolf says that the Khedive means well, but lacks force, and that 3 ad he possessed a tithe of the genius of Mehemet Ali or the pluck and audacity )f his father he might have thrown off the shackles with which England and Prance had bound him, and, placing tiimself at the bead of bis people, have ichieved independence for the country. Mr. Wolf thinks uo cause exists or bas existed for Americans fco leave Egypt, for the natives believed they had Ameri can sympathy and appreciated it. A Doctor's Blunder. (Philadelphia Times.) Charleston, S. C, July 4.?Mrs. Loten Heed was buried a few days ago. She was a young married lady of social prominence and her death resulted from the careless use of chloroform. Owing to the efforts of the physicians to keep the matter quiet the facts have but just some out. Mr. Heed the husband did Qot know that there was anything the matter with his wife until he was in formed of ber death. She .has been ailing slightly for some time and the family physician told her that a simple md not dangerous operation was neces sary. A day was fixed for the opera tion and Dr. 11. A. Kinlock appeared it her house, on Logan street, accom panied by Doctors Simons and Pelzer, who desired to witness the operation. Mrs. Reed however, refused to allow them in the room, saying that Dr. Kinlock alone should perform the oper ation. Simons and Pelzer therefore went into the parlor, where they were told by Dr. Kinlock that after he had put Mrs. Reed under the influence of chloroform they could come into the chamber. In a few moments they were told to come in, and as they en tered Dr. Kinlock remarked to Dr. Sim ons you had better look after tbe chlo-j roform. Dr. Simons did so. He weut to j ; the bedside and placed his finger on Mrs. j Heed's pulse. It had ceased to beat, j ! She was dead and the frantic efforts j ] of the doctors to apply restoratives i were futile. A message was sent to ' j Mr. Reed that his wife was dead. It j, was given out that tbe lady had died j ] from natural causes iu order to shield j ' the reputation of the physicians and ; prevent an inquest. The facts, as j they have come out, have made a sen sation in fashionable society. Dr. Kin lock has always enjoyed a high reputation is a physician and surgeon.
