The splendid bridge spanning the Colorado at this point is of course the property Of the 5. P. R. R. Company and connects Cal ifornia with the Territory of Arizona. For the benefit of many at distance who have a faculty of confounding Fort Yuma with Yuma City, we may be permitted to mention that the Fort is on the California side -ofthe river, while Yuma is located on the opposite bark in Arizona.

An English Journal on Garfield.

The Liverpool Post of the Goth ult saws: How
deeply the world was moved by the attempted
assassination President Garfield is amply
shown by the fact that it only needed telegram
containing the news that feyerish symptoms had
returned to revive all the interests which only
month ago. as it We're. assembled the civilized
world round the wounded mans bedside. For
the second time, the hopes of the public have
been checked. and each shock has revealed the
falling off of the solicitude Happily the
sangune anticpations Of the doctors are it Is
insisted, proven to be as well founded as ever
and the interruption having been safely over
come, it is expected that the further progress TO
recovery will be unimpeded. But whether the
illustrious sufferer is spared to his family and
natlOn-as good people all the world over hope
and pray-Or whether he succumbs to the cow
ardly shot, the beneficent influence of his
bearing in this hour of trial will long remain.
The spectacle of his courage. cheerfulness.
unaffected piety, has had sweetenng effect
in many lands. HencefOrth President Garfield
will share with George Washington the position
of being held up to the imitation of his country
men as an example of high principle i'm the
in the hour of danger and death. The stricken
man is known to all men as nothing but such
an experience could have revealed him. and

rose from the humblest position to the

is apparent. Without affectation or show, he
had lived refigiOusly. and when death seemed
near he was supported by the tranquil courage
which comes from reverencng the homely
virtues. Life was not less dear to him because
he did not fear death. He had more to live for
than most men, because he hOnOred every law
full human tie and affection. His sick bed pre-
sents an example of cheerfulness, courage and
virtue powerful beyond many books and SER

WHAT THE STRAlGHT~0rTS CLAIM.
The straight-out Virginia republicans claim q
majority of eight in the convention which met
in Lynchburg to-day. They will control the
temporary organization. in which event the re-
adlnsters will hold a rival convention in another
hall. unless there should be some agreement.
The straightouts. it is said. will nominate Gen.
Mickham for governor, Mi. Host, editor of the
valley |rgfsaidn for lieutenant governor, and
Judge Willoughby. of Alexandria for attorney
general. Gen. Wickham had been telegraphed
for.
CONFERENCE PROPOSED.
Baltimore Sun special saws that Brooks. the
secretary OF the central committee addressed a
communication last night to Chairman Cochran
proposing conference to-day between the
leaders oil the opposite wings looking TO some
sort OF compromise of the matters in dispute be-
tween them. This proposition is regarded as an
evidence Of weakness on the part of the re-
adjusters. The principal differences referred to
are the ARRANGEMENT OF the roll and the condi-
lions of the admission of members and the public
to the convention hall. Cochran. ii was Thought
last night, would not consent to the proposed
conference.
THE FINANCIAL. PLANK.
The following is said to be the financial plank
in the platform Of the convention as proposed
10y the straght-outs:
.'Resolred. That we hold the preservation Of
the public credit Of our state as the paramount
duty of the authorities of the state; that we
regard the fidelity with which the republican
party Of the nation has preserved its financial
honor as being. next to its gift of universal free
dom, the brightest page in its history; that We
believe the country owes its present financial
and commercial prosperity in great degree TO
this wise and just policy, and so believing We
hereby pledge ourselves to the maintenance in
violate of the sacred obligations of the common
wealth to her creditors"
The readjusters will of course repudiate this
plank. and the straght-outs will refuse to accept
any substitute that squnts at reputation. Thus
everything gives warning of the inevitable split
impending.

MeteOrs May be Looked for Tonight.

Providence Journal, August 8.
On the 10th OF the month the earth makes
her annual plunge into the August meteor zone,
and countless millions Of tiny meteOrs will ex-
plOde in the conclusion against our atmosphere
and fall to the EARTH leaving their tracks of
golden light traced in luminous vaper on the
celestial course The fall of a meteor is as
easily explained as any other simple phenOme-
non OF nature. The earth plunges into mass
OF meteors with velocity equal to her own
and increases this velocity by her attraction to
~ miles second The meteOrs enter our at
mosphere at this tremendous pace are soon
arrested by its friction and become so
hot that the heat is accompanied by light
1hey are then visible and becoming yaporjZed
fall through the atmosphere as shooting stars.
Inc August meteor zone is an immense ellipse
or hook extending out beyond the orbit of Men
tune. The meteOrs composing it follow in the
train, and are probably the debris of comet
that long ago travelled in this path and is now
broken up. This change occurred SO MANY wears
since that the meteors are now distributed
though in unequal numbers. along the entire
orbit. We are, therefore, sure of a meteoric
shower every year. although there is an uncer-
tainty whether it will be more or less brilliant
1t takes the earth some time to make her way
through the meteOric mass. and meteors NAV be
expected on the nights of the 9th. 10th and 18th
The point from which they seem to radate is
the constellation Perseus which rises in the
northeast not far from O'Clock. The full moon
of the 9th will greatly interfere with the mete-
ORIG display. but some of the brightest of the
'fery tears will be perceptible to careful OBJ
servers.
