THIRD EDITION
> GARFIELD AGAINST THE
"BL0ODY SHIRT"

In a speech in Congress, Gen.
Garfield put his foot down on the
"bloody shirt" doctrine of his party;
but nevertheless the Radical journals
are doing all they can to restore the
influence of the scarlet linen. Here
A what Garfield said:
81 want to say another thing. So
far as / have studied the current of
public thought and of political feel
ing in this country, no feeling has
shown itself more strongly than the
tendency of the public mind in the
past few months. The man who at
tempts to get up a political excite
nlent in this country on the old Sec
tional issues will find himself with
out a party and without support.
The man who wants to serve his
country must put himself in the line
of its leading thought, and that is
the restoration of business, trade,
commerce, industry, sound political
economy, hard money and honest
payment of all obligations, and the
man who can add anything in the
direction of the accomplishment of
any of these purposes is a public
henefactor."

A TERRIFIC FLASH.

On Saturday evening a thunder
Storm passed around to the north of
this city, which, Judging from the al
most incessant flashes of lightning
must have been very heavy. AT
first it was thought that no portion
of the storm would reach this city,
and but very little attention was
paid to it. Suddenly, and without
previous warning about l0.l5 O'Clock
there was very vivid flash of light
ming, which was followed almost i'm
mediately by a terrific peal of thun-
der that cracked like a bursting can
non.
People who were sitting on their
front steps at the time, endeavoring
to obtain little air, as the flash
came hastily ran into their houses,
and closed the doors after them.
A gentleman who was walking in
the vicinity of Seventh and King at
the time seemed to be impelled for
ward several feet, and his watch was
almost drawn from his pocket. He
was momentarily stunned. The
flash lighted up the streets with a
vividness that would far surpass
thousands of gas lights. From care
ful inquiry it does not appear that
the flash struck anywhere.

EHE APPOINTMENT OF PRESl-
DENTAL ELECTORS.

Congressman Hurd, of OHIO, has made
point with reference to the appoint
Ipent OF Presidential Electors, which is
worthy of very particular attention at
this time, especially as, at least in our
-Nstate, propositions for changing the meth
I'D at present in vogue are understood to
be under very serious consideration.
The point made by Mr.. Hurd is that
the Fourteenth Amendment makes a
very radical modification of the original
constitutional provision with regard to
the appointment of Electors, and this
fact has been strangely overlooked by
those who have hitherto discussed this
subject. A careful reading of this
. amendment will, we think, induce most
persons to think Mr.. Hurd is in the right
The original expressions of the Consti-
tuition with regard to the appointment of
Electors are as follows
"Each State shall appoint in such
manner as the Legislature thereof may
direct number of Electors equal to the
whole number Of Senators and Repre-
sentatives to which such a State may be
entitled in Congress, ETC."
1t will be seen that the power TO pro-
vide methods of appointment under
this section of the Constitution is yery
broad. Then compare this language
with that Of the Fourteenth Amend
ment, which says
"Whsnever the right to vote at any
election for Electors for President or
Vice President, or for United States
Representatives in Congress, executive
or judicial officers, or members of the
Legislature thereof, is denied to any
OF the male inhabitants of such State,
being twenty-one yeals of age, and citi-
zens OF the United States, or 10 any way
abridged, except for participation in re-
bellion or other crime, the basis of re-
presentation therein shall be reduced in
the proportion which the number OF
such male citizens shall bear to the
whole number of male citizens twenty.
one years of age in such State"
This looks very much like an effective
estoppel to the appointment of Presiden
tial Electors by the Legislatures, or by
the Governors, or In any way except BY
the votes of the male citizens of twenty,
one years Of age or upwards. 1t ap.
parently does not interfere with the
adoption of the district system, although
there Is no telling but that the Language
OF the amendment might be strained L
to cover even that system At any rate
1t is very plain that this is not eooC
time to tinker with the laws relating tt
Presidential Electors in New York Oh
elsewhere.

Missouri Statesman General Han
cock has almest regarded Missouri as
his home ever since he married here,
and often comes here to visit. He
owns q farm near Windsor, Henry
county,, and was out there superin-
tending some improvements not over
three months ago. At that time he
said to some friends at Sedalia that he
might one day make his home on his
Windsor farm-that the surrounding
country was beautiful, and that he did
not know of a more charming place
where he could spend the remainder of
his life. He then intimated that he
expected to retire from active service
in the army"

Brilliant, BraUe ana Patriotic

from the Phila. Telegraph, Jnly 10.
General Hancock was not only
brilliant, brave, patriotic, successful
soldier, at time when his country
most needed such soldier, but III after
time of peace, when entrusted with a
position as Military Governor of States
lately In rebellion, he displayed very
decided qualities of excellence in most
trying situations, whereby he won for
himself the warmest admiration of those
OF his countrymen who regarded the
rule Of law better than the rule of the
sword. We however, believe that fif-
teen years after the close OF the war
and afler the disastrous experience the
country has had of military Presidents,
his nomination as a candidate for The
ofhce of Chief Magistrate was most un-
fortunate. As soldier, the country
cannot too greatly honor him, but as its
principal Executive officer, it cannot
wisely or safely accept him, for his
habits and education as a soldier unfit
him, as has been proved over and over
again in other similar cases, for the
proper discharge of the duties of states.

why he should not be elected, though
euriously enough, his political opponent,
Of the extreme partisan press do no

l. is, however, to the credit of Genera
Hancock that the most mud they cal

President Lincoln, and that which the,

virtue at the time it was done.
