Arranging for His Reelection.

Dom Piatt, during the recent Presi-
Dental canvass, said that General Gar
field "did not know enough about af-
fairs to negotiate a prOmisSOry note. -
The epgrammatic Colonel was anxious
to defend his friend Garfield, and put
in this plea in abatement. A little peep
into political affairs since the election
will indicate that the President-elect
knows how both to execute and negoti-
ate political prOmissory notes.
No sooner was he elected once than,
with the cunning of veteran politician.
with at least the wisdom of a man who
knows how to negotiate a prOmissorV
note, he began to arrange for his re-
election. In order to lay the founda-
tion for denomination, what was nee
essary to be done? -.--
In the first place, there was Blaine,
of Maine. He had been twice almost
nominated for the Presidency. Still
young, robust, magnetic; still ambi-
tious, and with splendid following. he
must be disposed OF. Garfield offers
him Cabinet position, which he will
adorn, the one popularity understood in
this country ana on all sides of all
oceans to be the head of the Cabinet.
Garfield argues that Blaine in his Cab
met could not, with decent grace. be-
come a competing candidate against
him for the Presidential nomination
four years hence, and Blaine unques-
tionablyis still man for the Republic
an candidates for the Presidency to
fear. Garfield reasons that he would
make of Blainean ally instead of COM
petitor. n This indicates that Garfield
had knowledge. enough of human af-
fairs to negotiate promissory note.
Then there was John Sherman. How
to get rid OF John Sherman was an ex-
ceedingly difficult problem. Bankers,
railroad men, manufacturers, repre-
sentatives of the money power in both
parties and in all business avenues,
were pouring in their petitions upon
General Garfield to retain John Sher-
man in his Cabinet. This Garfield could
not do. He was undoubtedly under
promise not to do it. He had cove
nanted with the Republican enemies of
John Sherman not to retain him. En-
ployers of men. monopolists, who, by
announcing to their employees, to work
ingmen generally, that the election of
General Hancock would compel the
factories to become silent, mercantile
houses to reduce their business, bankers
to limit their credits, had done too
much toward the election of Garfield to
be ignored. Sherman must be pro-
vided for in some way. 1t was not
agreeable to John Sherman to go
abroad; he would not listen to this
temptation. He must be provided for
a thome. At home there were but two
things he would accept-the Secl etary-
ship of the Treasury and the Senator
ship from Ohio. Garfield could not
give him the former without breaking
his pledges. He therefore coaxed
Foster out of the Senatorial race to
give the Senatorship to John Sherman.
This Senatorship will last two years

Unconditional Surrender, or Stormy
Weather.

Whether the Treaty of Mentor was
ever actually and fully consummated or
not, it is certain that COnkling. as the
head of the Grant faction, intends to as
sert the rights and powers that were
supposed to have been conceded in that
compact. .7at.a#
General Garfield will be permitted to
enter upon his Administration in peace,
on one condition-that Conkling de-
mands are complied with. 1t is folly
for the friends of General Garfield to
talk or think of compromise with
Conkling. He does not know the mean
ing OF that word. He has never been
sufficiently Inundated to make a COM
promise. The Administration that he
cannot rule, he fights. With the En-
pire State in his control, he wields a
formidable club, and Messrs. Hayes,
Evarts, Sherman and Wheeler have
learned. at heavy cost, how he can WELD
that weapon.
In the early days of his Administra-
ton Mr.. HAYES was ready, more than
willing, to arrange terms of peace with
the New York Dictator. But he scorned
all overtures that limited at any ar
rangement but the unconditional sur
render of the Administration. Mr..
Hayes. pushed by Evarts and Sherman,
decided to 90 on with the fight. They
have bad the satisfaction of putting
some of COnkling's friends out OF office,
and installing his enemies in he va
Gated places. But Conkiing has IL aged
them at his chariot wheels in two cam
paigns. He has compelled them to
support, for the Offices of Governor of
New York and Vice President of the
United States, the two friends of his
whom they attempted to disgrace. No
Indian ever wreaked more ample VEN
geance on his foes than Conkling has
scored against Hayes, Evarts and Sher-
man. -ah
The New York Dictator gave the
vote of his State to Garfield. and thus
saved him from defeat. He claims
recognition as the ruling power in the
Administration. He demands the
Treasury and the Posfoffice Depart
ment, and he treats with lofty disdain
the offer of choice of inferior positions.
Reconciliation of the ''Grant crowd
with the anti-Grant wing of the Re-
publican party is impossible. A chasm
that cannot be bridged yawns between
them. Hate that cannot be placated
divides them. They cooperate in such
emergencies as the recent campaign;
but in so doing. their mutual detesta-
ton is not ameliorated. = When the
contest is ended, they renew their
factional fight all the more bitterly for
having been compelled to submit to a
truce.
One side or the other must uncon-
ditionally surrender. or General Gar
field will see stormy weather. Wash

A Lady's Account of an Indian Attack.

wagons through The heat OF the after

everything, save for the children's chat

smote the eyes. Suddenly there was a
dreadful scream, echoed, re-echoed,

Two Girls and q Revolver.

IN an avenue residence on the OouGn
Side two young ladies happened to be
left alone with only the female help.
Brother George had been away for some
time, but was expected back daily, when
pa was called suddenly to New York ION
business, SO the toney mansion was left
without guardians save the two young
ladies aforesaid, two female helps, and
the nondescript pet canine. Everything
was lovely; their little reception had
passed off in the pleasantest manner
possible; and the pretty way in which
the young hostess had played her part
had considerably thawed out her rather
dilatory lover, Notwithstanding the zero
weather abroad. The plate was all care
fully put away in pas dressing-room,
in the strong box, and the fair ones
were about retiring to their own snug
nests when the visitor espied revolver
on the dressing-table.
"La!" she cried, " suppose burglars
come tonight and find that pistol!
they'll kill US with i'll"
"Oh my, yes!''
"What shall we do?" sk 4
They excitedly consulted; at last it
was determined that they should both
sleep together for mutual defense and
put the pistol under the bed. This was
done. They disrobed and retired; quiet
crept over the mansion, where all
seemed asleep. Suddenly a white-robed
figure arose out of bed, looked. at her
sleeping companion, reached under the
bed, and, carrying the pistol in one hand
and the lamp in the other, descended to
the parlor, and, placing the pistol care
fully down in front of the stove, returned
to bed with sigh of relief.
Along among the wee small hours
George, who had returned from New
York, and had been around town with
the boys, came home. He went into
the dining room, lit the gas, helped
himself to glass of whisky from the
sideboard, and stepped into the parlor
to warm himself by the stove. His foot
touched something, which, with an
imprecation, he vigorously kicked.
Bang!
He sprang ten feet awav .teass
{ A succession of wild shrieks pealed
from the floor above.
George rushed upstairs, three steps
at q time, and on the landing ran
against something human, which he
clutched, causing fresh shrieks. -.
% Hulloa! What's up! Who are

"Down STAIRS ....t "a
Nonsense; there's no one down
there. But 60 to bed and I'll see what's
up.."-
He returned down stairs, lit the gas
in the parlor, and looked about. He
soon noticed the revolver lying on the
floor, picked it up, found one chamber
empty and still smoking. However
dull he might have been on coming in,
he was now fully bright, and quickly
concluded the burglar, the explosion,
and the object kicked were all one.
But why was the revolver there?
He went upstairs, knocked at his
sisters door, and was received by both
girls in elegant wrappers.
