OF Congressional inactivity OF serious i'm

GUITEAU'S MOTIVES.

The sketch of Guiteau's life which he
dictated to stenographer selected by
District Attorney Corkhill, is being pub
lished in the New York Herald. The
Sun says it finally disposes of the theory,
so obstinately maintained, that the So
called spoils system is responsible for his
crime; that is, that it was an outgrowth
of the New York quarrel. He would
doubtless have shot the President even
if there had been no such quarrel. 1t
will be remembered that, short time
before the crime was committed, he wrote
to the President letter expressing SYM
pathy with him in the contest with the
Stalwarts. The assassin is vein egotist,
weak minded but not insane. He had
persuaded himself that he had rendered
political services which deserved recogni.
ton, and he accordingly made persistent
and clamorous applications for some i'm
portant appointment. While thus seek
ing office he was hearty anti-Stalwart,
as he had been previously when he offer
ed to stump" the State of New York
against the controlling element of the
party, His absurd pretentions to Office
receiving no attention from the President,
he determined to revenge himself by as
sassination, and his feeble intellect then
for the first time sliced upon the idea OF
calling himself Stalwart, so as to gain
the favor of the gentleman who would
succeed to the Presidency. In deed, like
all political assassins, he seems to have
persuaded himself that his act would
make him hero and deliver the country
from an oppression. In his case this
verges on the insane, but it is not genu.
inc insanity The point most manifest is
that his crime cannot be charged even in.
directly to controversy between the two
wings of the party. 1t was the inspira
ton of his inordinate and disappointed
self-conceit.

SEA LIoNs.-On the arrival of the
females the younger males appear to do
duty as ushers in marshaling the "cows"
to their places on the rocks and cliffs
above the beach; and the work of the
selection of females by the males proceed
apace, until each happy family, with a
dozen or fifteen cows, has been duly con-
stituted. The progress of selection and
sea lion courtship is frequently attended
with some very disastrous consequences
to the lady members of the community.
When male envious of the choice of his
neighbor, sees an opportunity, he does
not hesitate to avail himself of the
chance, and not only covet, but literally
steal, his neighbours mate. The desired
cow is uncermoniodsly lifted in the mouth
of the captor, and transferred with all
possible expedition to his own family
group. Great is the sorrow of the be.
reaved male, but woe to, both intruder
and female should the thief be discovered
in the act A fierce and sanguinary
fight ensues, and the hapless, passive and
altogether innocent cause of the combat
may get dreadfully injured while the
combat lasts.

A Minnesota correspondent says that
the Chippewa Indians are increasing and
not " fading away" 1.-THE Chippewas
subsist upon the small annuties they get
from the Government, the rice, Gran
berries and blueberries they gather, the
sugar they make, and largely upon the
fish they take from the streams and lakes,
and upon the corn and potatoes they
raise in limited quantities from small
fields and gardens. Although but very
little OF the reservation is fit for cultiva-
ton, a few small stock farms might be
selected on it, but nothing more; it will
never be sought after as a home for the
agriculturist. As articles of sale these
Indians make mats, canoes, sugar and
hay, gather berries and senaca root, and
catch' fish, the latter being unsurpassed
anywhere for fineness and flavor. They
also have some income from the sale Of
furs in the Winter, in addition to their
resources derived from the sale of the
commodities just named"

WENDELL PHILLIPS ON IRELAND.

Ireland is another touchstone which re
veals to us how absurdly we masquerade
in democratic trappings while, as Emer
son says, we have gone to seed in tory
distrust of the people; false to every duty
which as eldest born of democratic insti-
tutions we owe to the oppressed, and
careless of the lesson every such move
ment may be made in keeping public
thought clear, keen and fresh as to prin-
ciples which are the essence of our civil
ization, the ground work of ell education
in Republics.
Sydney Smith says: ''The moment
Ireland is mentioned, the English seem
to bid adicu to common sense and to act
with the barbarity OF tyrants and the
faulty Of idiots" and Byron called Eng
lands union with ireland "union of the
shark and his prey" Bentham's conclu-
sions, from survey of five hundred
years of European history, was: "Only
by making the ruling few uneasy can the
oppressed many obtain a particle of re-
lief." Edmund Burke-the noblest man
in the parliamentary history of the last
hundred years; greater than Cicero in the
Senate and almost Plato in the academy
he affirmed a century ago: Ireland has
learned, at last, that justice is to be had
from England only when demanded at the
swords point" And q century later, or
last year, Gladstone proclaimed himself
in public address in Scotland; ENG
land never comedies anything to ireland,
except when moved to do so by fear"
When we remember these admissions we
ought to clap our hands at every fresh
"outrage," q parrot press styles it; aware
that it is only far-oi echo of the mushet-
shot that ratified against the Old State
House on the 9th of March, 1910, and the
war whoop that made the tiny spire of
the Old South tremble when the Boston
rioters emptied the three India tea-ships
into the sea; welcome evidence of living
force and rare intelligence in the victim,
and the sign that the day of deliverance
draws each hour nearer.
Cease ringing endless charges of euolgy
on the men who made North's Boston
port bill failure, while every leading
journal sends daily over the water wishes
for the success of Gladstono's copy of the
bill of Ireland.
If all rightful government rests on con-
sent; if, as the French say, "'you can DO
almost anything with a bayonet except
sit on it, }" be at least consistent, and de-
nounce the man who covers Ireland with
regiments to hold up despotism which
within twenty months he has confessed,
rests wholly upon fear.

The Hollanders are buying up, through
agents in New York, bonds Of the Con-
federate Government, offering $3.50 per
$1,000 for them. This is a good oppor-
tunity for the Southerners to get rid of
their worthless paper, and the Dutch
purchasers will find them dear for half
the money. The idea that the Southern
States, which have been debt-ridden for
years, and are now just beginning to
prosper, will ever take upon themselves
the redemption of the paper issued by
the defunct Confederate Government, is
altogether too absurd to think Of

HOW IT WAS DONE.

Of those who actually saw the shoot
ing of the President by Charles Guiteau
Mrs. White, the woman in charge of the
waiting room where the tradgedy occur
red, was the first to reach the wounded
President, and she gives the following
details
81 saw the whole thing. The man
came in the east door just as the Presi-
dent entered the middle door from B st.
When he approached within five feet Of
the President he fired, aiming, l thought,
at the heart and missed him. The Presl-
dent did not appear to notice him, but
walked right on past the man. He fired
again and the President fell. He fell at
the turn of the second row of seats. l
was the first TO reach him and lifted up
his head. The janitor rushed in and call
ed the police. | held him till some men
came and lifted him up, He did not
speok to me or to any one until
young boy, who | thiuk was his son, came.
After he had vomited think he said
something to him. When he was lifted
upon the mattress he spoke or groaned.
NJ words passed between the President
and the man who did the shooting. The
man walked deliberately out Of the CEN
ter door, where somebody headed him

off; he turned and started back the way
the police. l have seen the man once or
twice before. One time in particular. l
noticed him few days ago; he prone
naded up and down just as he did to day,
wiping his face, apparently excited. l
thought he was waiting for some friends.
This morning he waited here half an
hour, walking up and down. There were
few people in the room when the shot was
fired. All the passengers had gone out.
| think there was a gentlemOn standing
near the door,"
There is no doubt the assassin is a lu-
natic and that the bloody deed was pre-.
meditated.
Among the numerous messages Of con-
dolence forwarded to the White House,
were the following:
NEW YORK, July ..
To the bon. James G.. Blaine, Secretary of
State. Washington: Your telegram, with its
deplorable narrative did not reach me prompt

When the news was received here Satur-
day evening that the President was dead, the
church bells were tolled, emblems of mourn
ing were displayed from the Republican and
office of MADILL & KINNEY the Grand Army
flag was displayed at half-mast, and all men
went about the street looking as sad as though
their own households had been stricken. The
interior of the Episcopal church was draped
in mourning. The contradiction of the sad
news early Sunday morning seemed almost
too good to be true, and inspired all hearts
with devout thankfulness.

hopes are entertained that he may yet re-
cover though still in critical condition.
The following official bulletins contain
the latest information:
SOME ENCOURAGEMENT!
EXECUTIVE MANSION, Is, p. NJ
There is no material change in the con
dition Of the President. Dr. Agnew of
Philadelphia, who came here to consult
with the resident physicians, says that in
his judgment there are some features of
the case that are extremely encouraging
The kidneys and intestines are entirely
uninjured. The liver is lacerated to some
extent, and the large nerves leading from
the spine to lower extremities h ave been
so injured as to cause pain in the feet and
the patient is slowly gaining strength to
meet rhe secondary inflammation when it
occurs. AS yet there is no evidence and
nothing to Indicate that it will be of any
extraordinary extent.
