GOVERNOR Wnrz,of Louisiana, died
at II 80 q. m. Sunday.
IT was Guiteaus bullet that made
Arthur President end elected Charley
Foster Governor.
The Stalwart 3O6 are solid with the
new administration, and will require
little OF. no Endorsement to secure any
c,veted offices.
GUITEAU's autobiography, so far
from furnishing any evidence of his
insanity, simply established the fact
that he is genuine Stalwart Repub-
lican.
IT is understood, says the Indianap-
oils Sentinel, that Grant has taken a
three years lease of one OF Arthurs
ears, aud that Conkling has q first
mortgage on the other.
WHEN Senator Edmunds alludes to
"the lottery of assassination" he hits
Arthur and his Stalwsrt crowd in
tender spot. That is lottery" IN
which only Radicals draw prizes.
PRESIDENT ARTHUR is reported very
reticent. Actions speak louder than
words. His signature, when attached
TO appointments and commissions, will
be very eloquent to the recipients Of
the parchment.
The Republicans are claiming Fos-
ter's election by from $4,000 to 25,OCo
plurality, and that of the balance OF
the State ticket by over $500 That
is the result in great measure Of toe
much stay-away from the polls on the
part of the. Democrats.
A CONVENTION of the distillers and
spirit dealers of the United States, in
session at Chicago, has adopted res
olution declaring for reduction 81
the tax on domestic spirits to fifty cts.
a gallon on and after August l, 1882
with an indefinite extension of the
bonding period.
GUITEAU was arrais ned on Friday.
and his counsel indicated that insanity
and malpractice by the Presidents
ply sicians, would be the line of de-
tense. The trial was fxed for No
vember Z, and in the meantime the
question of jurisdiction will be ar
gued md passed upon.
SENATOR MALONE was arrested at
Washington Saturday night, on a
charge of intent to violate the laws OF
the District by leaving the city for the
purpose of fighting q duel with Gen.
Jubal A. Early, of Virginia. Upon
his denial Of any intention to fight,
he was released upon his own recog-
nisance.
DISPATCHES of Thursday announce
that Parnell, the Trash agitator, was
arrested that morning by order Of the
British Government, under the Coer
cion act. This arrest has created an
intense excitement throughout Ireland
md public meetings are being held
there and in this country to denounce
the arrest and express sympathy fer
the great leader.
GUITEAU made Arthur President by
his assassination of Garfield, and thus
harmoniZed the Republican party
Foster hastened 10 make himself solid
with the man who was made President
by ibe murderous bullet of the assas-
sin, aud now the Republicans of Ohio
have endorsed the administration thus
brought into power.
STATISTICS of the new census appear
to Indicate that the ceiored people
down South are not becoming land
holders as fast as it was hoped they
would, and as the betterment of their
seem to demand. They are too fond
of hanging around the cities and towns
devoting themselves to politics and
poor whisky. Many of them are ten
ant farmers, however, and this Is much
preferable TO q life of easy and ener-
waiting vagabondsge. !:
ACCORDING to Mr.. Edmunds, the
States have an equal right TO be rep
in the Senate. We beg 10
remark that ii was net always thus ,
but when Mr.. Edmunds refers to the
rights of the States, perhaps he means
some States.-l Atlanta Constitution.
