Garfield's old district. That is a healthy

he was shot. Mr.. Peelle says that the

ARrare Engineer.

SANDY Hook, Sept. 14-What might
have been serious accident this after
noon on the Sandy Hook route of the
New Jersey Central r. r. was averted
by the GOODNESS and bravery of the en-.
gineer. The locomotive drawing the 8
O'Clock express from Long Branch. as il
neared curve at Sandy Hook and
only four hundred yards from
where the steamer Jesse Hoyt was wait
ing for the passengers, bursted its iues
scattering the scalding steam over the
engineer and fireman. Although the
train had not slowed up and was running
quite rapidly, the fireman jumped
off, leaving the engineer alone
The engineer thought of hi:
peril and that of the passengers. He
proved himself hero and stood at his
post until the train was stopped. Had
the locomotive been abandoned by boil
men, the train would have thundereC
down the dock and crashed into tho
Jesse Hoyt, and 4 fearful accident would
have been the result.

ST. Louis Globe Democrat: 1t is
worthy of remark that the section of the
state in which two of the many train
robberies of the past few years were
committed is the same against which
Gen. Tom. Ewing issued his celebrated
order No. IL, for which the Democrat
ic papers and politicians have so
severely denounced him. The men
who arc now train robbers were then
guerillas. They appear, however, to
have been always true to their political
predictions. If Ewing had not simply
banished, but exterminated the whole
breed OF marauders, he would have con-
fcrred lasting favor on the state.

Better IMAM for Three Meeks

LONG BRANCH, Sept 13.-The actual
condition of the President to-day is bet
ter than for three weeks. The ocean air
and refreshing. His day maps have in.
terfered with his night sleep, and the
consequent wakefullness has been by
some attributed TO foreign causes. The
parotid gland openings and incisions
are practically healed, and no further
trouble from that source is apprehended.
The bullet wound is healing rapidly
and naturally, and neither the wound
nor attendant incisions are at present
disturbing elements. There is no alb.
scess in the lungs and no pus cavity,
and there never have been any recog-
niZed symptoms of such. The bullet is
fully encysted. The lung affection is
fully under control, and has never been
more serious than severe cold. 1t is
now about gone and there is no disturb
ance from it. DR.. Bliss diagnosis is
probably correct: The diagram was
pierced by the bullet and the inflamma-
ton extended TO the area of the lower
portion of the right lung; small quaint
ties of mucuS from the parotid formed
and found its way into the mouth and
the throat, and the eXertions of the pa
tient to rid himself of the matter caused
Inflammation which extended below the
pharynx and caused depression of the
lung. The patient passed the period
successfully and is now better than be.
fore. His condition now is one of con-
valesence. He assimilates his food and
his appetite is good.

The Rock Island Argus., 1881-11-25

Advices from Albany state that State
Senator elect Homer A. Nelson, of the
Fifteenth District, is to be counted out by
the canvassers, and the certificate given to
Samuel II. Everett, the republican candi-
date. As the story goes, the republican
bosses finding that Nelson's majority is
not over 100 in the district, have sent word
into the three counties, Columbia, Duchess,
and Putnam, that errors enough must bs
found in the returns to give Everett the
election, Color of probability is given to
the story by the significant talk of repub-
licans that serious clerical error" such
as the ancient Stoughton discovered in
Louisiana, has been found in the count in
Chatham, Columbia county, where, by a
curious coincidence, Lou Payn, boss of the
district lives That alleged error nearly
wipes out Nelson's majority. and little
fine work in Dutchess and Putnam is re-
lied upon to finish it. If Everett gets the
certificate from the canvassers he viii get
a vote when the senate organizes. His
vote will make the senate tie, and no will
thus get vantage ground in the subsequent
contest with his opponent. The scheme is
a bold one, but some of the men reported
to be engaged in it are equal to the task,
Everett is counted in, it is said that he will
again become a stalwart, IS he will owe his
place to Payne & Co.

WHAT SHERMAN WANTS.

Gen oral Tecumuseh Sherman rises up
once in every year and says he wants an
army he is great general and there
fore thinks he is entitled to an army, and
entitled to it for the rest of his natural
life To be sure, the United States has
very little use for an army. 1t has no
neighbor worth considering nearer than
three thousand miles, and across seas at
that. We are, moreover, at peace with all
the world ourselves included. He desen't
say excatly what he wants with an army,
bat he knows, and most yehemently de
clares there ought to be an army. because
there are so many officers. For instance,
he himself has numerous and gorgeous
staff, who have nothing on earth to do
but array themselves like Solomon and go
to balls He thiuks it would be far finer
if these gentlemen had a great army with
which to amuse themselves. The super
fluous privates can be distributed in large
garrsons in places where the officers can
have all the advantages of good society,
and where these gentlemen will
be able to make much more creditable
appearance when they have soldiers as
web ss pay and perquisities to swell their
consequence. Besides, Washington is in
want Of q large torce to be used on grand
occasions. such as inaugurations and
presidential receptions. Strangers N the
United States would then be unable to
repeat the common saying, of which we
have herstofoIe been foolishly proud, that
they could not see the government OF the
great republic;" its power was invisible,
and consisted mainly in the respect and
affection of the people.
A great standing army may be a hand
some thing to look at; but what Gen. Sher-
man is thinking most of, no doubt, is the
weight thrown into the score against the
democrats by the presence of his troops at
Washington during the consummation of
the fraud of 1875. Although Sherman has
no love for Grant, yet in case he should be
the candidate of the republicans in 1884,
and there should be any doubt about Lis
election, it might be great boon to be
able to resolve the doubt and have the
peace of the country by the judicious ap-
plication of hundred thousand bayonets.

Regarded in the light of financial

Regarded in the light of financial sue
cess, John Sherman can well be called sue
cessful. All his life be has been an office
holder and yet he is now called worth two
millions. This is a large sum to have saw
ed out of his salary, and comment on the
fact is often made. Some people are mali
cious enough to claim that he made his
money out of his position as head Of
the finance committee in congress, and as
secretary of the treasury, selling his 1nfor-
nation to banking houses at so much a
point. One thing Is certain, that while he
was in these positions, a certain clique of
operators in New York were always posted
some days in advance as to each important
financial move of the government, and said
clique have all prospered in proportion to
honest John Sherman. Anent the circum-
stance the Springfield Republican, tells this
story Some years ago when Sherman
was having, as secretary of the treasury,
large dealings with the First National bank
of New York, Treasurer Gilillan received
an order relative to the payment Of some
interest. The details are not at this mo-
ment recalled, nor are they necessary to
the story. It is enough that Gilfillan did
not interpret the law as permitting him TO
carry out the order, and he disobeyed it.
The bank was very angry and SO was Sher
man. He peremptorily commanded Gilfll-
Ian. .8lr. Secretary said the treasurer, i
am under very heavy bonds. My duty to
my bondsmen, as well as my duty to follow
my convictions, make it impossible that
should obey this order, and I shall not do
it. If / construed the law as you do. /
would need no command. AS it is, no
command will make me do what I think
the law prohibits Mr.. Gilfllan went to
his room and the order was not carried out
but from that day Sherman and Gilfllan
were cold]y formal"
