CHICAGO, July 2.-Hon. Henri Waiter
son telegraphs the following editorial to
the Courssr-Jovss0l:
1t is hard to say whether the county
be more appalled, or distressed by thh
CHASTITY tidings which come to US from
the National Capitol. The assassination
of q ruler of people at all times and
under all circumstances is dreadful to
contemplate, and in this instance,
attended by domestic surroundings,
of SO touching a description, it relates to
a man of such gentle character as to car
ry with it a sense of personal bereave-
ment. The President of the United
States has been stricken down in the
early morning of what promised to be a
career of political usefulness, personal
honor, happiness and health, and at the
least of sincere devotion to his country.
1t is fortunate that the hand
which dealt the blow was
not that of Southern man, because if it
had been we should have, from one end
of the land to the other, q Stalwart out
cry against the South. The author of
this dire crime seems to be the merest
vagabond, yet he claims to be'a Stal
wart, and what Is there in the charac-
ter of men in whose name and interest
the deed was done, and whose desperate
fortunes it saves from destruction, to
rescue them from q suspicion which
would by q change in the authors nativ-
ity firmly attach itself to the most inno-
cent people. Mrs. Surratt was hanged
on less circumstantial evidence than oc-
ours to the mind as to Roscoe Conkling
and Chester A. Arthur. The vile nature
of the contest at Albany, the despicable
rancor of the combattants, and the base
methods adopted by both parties, render
the murder as likely q weapon as any
other, and whilst we should be 10th to
accuse any body, and prayerful that the
man Gitteau is not the instrument
of q conspiracy, we should not be
eager to assume the innocence of a body
of political wretches whose hands are
stained by every other crime; nor precip-
itate In wishing to hurry into power a
band of bandits and plunderers who may
have planned this assassination As their
last resort.

AUGUSTA, Ca, July 2.-This COM
munity was thrilled with horror and in
dignation on hearing of the shooting of
President Garfield. The OArosiele says:
at seems but yesterday that we beheld
Mr.. Garfield, smiling, happy, dignified
and handsome, seated in the Senate
Chamber before q notable company
to be inducted into the Presidency. He
had risen from the humblest walks of
life to the highest by his own endeavors,
under Divine Providence, and that day
marked the acme of proud and glori-
GUS ambition. He delivered an inaura
ton address that gave the continent
assurances of peace and comfort, and
turning aside for . moment from the tre-
mendous civic trust, he became the true
son and husband, who recognized in
mother and wife the sources of his
great career and inspiration. Because
this is the American Union, and because
our President is the fit ruler of free
people, q wall of righteous Indignation
swells in unbroken chorus over the whole
land, protesting against the gigantic
wrong, and demanding justice against
the villain who horrifed the Republic,
and disgraced the image of his Maker"

views with respect to the effect of Presi-
dent Garfeld's death upon the finances
of the country. Mr.. Coe said, "The first
effect of this news upon Wall Street is
undoubtedly to shock capital and cause
some timidity, but this result will be
only momentary.
The country is too strong and prosper
ous to be seriously affected by any one
mans death or the death of several men.
I do not think that government bonds or
railroad stocks or bank stocks will feel
the blow at all. The chief source of
apprehension at all il connected with the
accession of General Arthur. Nobody is
cognizant of Arthur's views on the great
monetary questions of the day.
