President Garfield still lives, and may

Arthur then comes in, not to take the
office, but simply TO perform certain
executive duties. To what extent he

A NiIemma.

II has been discovered that the Dis
trict Of Columbia has no criminal law
Of its own, the old penal law of Mary
land, from which State it was severed
ninety years ago. being still in force.
The Galveston Meas, in an interest
ing article on the subject of Guiteau's
punishment, calls attention to the above
fact, and shows that there would be ex-
IRENE difficulty in convicting the assas-
sin Of his crime, even should the Presi-
dent die, owing to the peculiar law of
Maryland, which excludes from the jury
mot only all who have formed an opin-
ion in the case. but all who are &C
Quainted with its details"
The most monstrous part of the law,
as the Nslos points out, is that it does
not admit the infliclion of the death
penalty for murder unless the murdered
man dies within twenty-four hours after
receiving the wound.
These defects in the law have been
apparent for many years, and there have
been frequent attempts made to have s
new Code for the District of Columbia
adopted by Congress, and it is a curious
fact that but for the objection interposed
by Senator Conkling last winter the
District would now have an enlight
ened criminal code, under which Gui
teau could be hanged should his victim

Ths Situation I'm Mississippi.

The Mississippi Democrats, apparent
ly. do not feel entirely secure of victory
at the coming November election. In
the first place there is dissension, amount
ing to almost open strife, within the
party. Mr.. Bzrksdale. editor OF the
Jackson Clarion, which has hitherto
been considered the central organ Of the
party, was candidate for Governor, in
opposition to Stone, the present incum-
bent. Stone has held the Office for two
terms and some feeling was aroused
against him because of his desire to get
another term Barksdale in his canvass
for the nomination made no conceal
ment of his hostility to Senator Lamar,
whose successor will be chosen by the
Legislature to be elected in November.
Stones friends openly espoused the
cause of Lamar, and thus the Sena-
torial question was intruded into
the Gubernatorial contest. After sever
al days of fruitless balloting in con-
vention, the supporters of Barksdale
and several other candidates combined
against Stone, and succeeded in nomi-
mating General Lowry. The latter
promptly disclaimed any feeling of par
TALLY or prejudice in connection with
the Senatorial contest, but this has not
allayed the bitterness created by the at
tacks upon Lamar. 1t is understood that
BsIksdsle intends to compete for La
mars seat, and friends of the latter have
fear that Lowry, if elected Governor,
might be disposed to aid him. Efforts
to unite the party have only been par
tally successful, and the situation is re-
garded as so grave that Senator Lamar,
though positively forbidden to do so by
the doctors, has entered upon the can
vass with the intention of speaking all
over the State, if his physical strength
will hold out. The Republicans and
Greenbackers have united, and the indi-
cations are that the entire strength of the
cOlored vote will be brought out. While,
of course, the chances are in favor of the
Democrats, there is uncertainty enough
in the result to make them feel anxious.

Mixed Sch OOls in Philadelphia.

The Philadelphia Republican organs
have, for a great many years, abused the
Southern people for not having mixed
schools. As a matter of fact mixed
schools for white and colored pupils
have just been started in Philadelphia.
and we extract from the Times, of that
city, brief account of the result;
Three little ebony-hued children
two boys and one girl-have been en-
rolled at the school house on Catharine
street, above Tenth, and are pursuing
knowledge with the white children I'M
der conditions not absolutely felicitous.
The cOlOred children, under the guidance
Of their uncle, William H. Bowler, pre-
sented themselves to the Principal on
Thursday, and when the infantile eau
casians learned the purport of their visit
there was an incipient hubbub, which an
Ominous agitation of a ruler failed to
quell. The childreh were Chas. Chew,
eight years old, and George Yenning and
Sallie Venning, aged respectively six and
nine years, who all reside at 1116 Fitz-
water street. After undergoing an ex-
animation the trio was placed in e
lowest grade IN the school and the uncle
retired. When the pupils reassembled
yesterday 1t was very apparent that
their parents had not regarded the in.
nOvation with delight. The white boys
pertinently mustered and cast ominous
glances at the two little mulattoes on
the back form. During the session the
principal was compelled to reprimand
one of the boys FOR declaring that he
wouldn't 90 to school with Niger
and intimated that his mother SID he
could leave if the colored children COZ
tinued to attend. The little girls, on the
contrary, have made no sign of remon-
STRANGE, but treat the new pupil with a
freezing indifference. 1t is anticipated
by the teachers that many Of the white
children will be withdrawn before long.
1t is stated by the principal that colored
boy attended the school for two years
without his race being discovered, and
that several of the children now in the
classes are much darker than two of the
little triumvirate that has caused such
teapot tempest"
Now we would suppose, says the
Courier. Journal, that, in this hot.bed of
Republicanism, where the doctrine of
equality of races has been taught as a
theory, the parents and children would
BY this time have been educated up to
obedience to the equality theory. 1t sp-
pears, however, that this is not the case,
and it remains for the Philadelphia Re
publicans to state why they insist that
the Southern people shall do that to
which the Philadelphia people shall have
a deep aversion.

Progress of the Argentine Republic


The condition of affairs in the Argen-
tine Republic is very promising. Eng.
lish capitalists have lent money to the
government to construct railways into
the interior, and thousands of hands,
formerly idle the greater part of the
year, now find steady labor on these pub
lie works. For many years the paper
currency was the only medium of ex-
change. God and silver coins were sell
dom seen. although the mountainous
portions of the country TEEN with rich
mines of both metals. OF late the gov
eminent has decreed q return to metallic
currency, which will take full effect by
the beginning Of 1882, for the measure is
to be carried out gradually. In some Of
the interior provinces, where the ma
tives passed their lives in idleness, agri-
culture has received a vigorous impul-
sion from the railroad movement, and
numerous sugar plantations have been
started Wealthy planters are sending
orders to England for sugar machinery
for the erection Of new sugar mills.
Altogether. the prospect for the fu-
ture progress Of Buenos Ayres is most
promising, while the era of revolutions
seems to have passed away.

Rnsaia for the Rnssians.

There are not wanting signs that the
Gar of all the Russiss is about to break
with the Western influences that so
much influenced his father, Alexander
IL, and is going to espouse the panslav-
ist views of the old Muscovite party.
The affectation of avoiding st. Peters
burg in his journey to Moscow and re-
turn to Peterhoff, the order to suspend
the publication for six months of the too
progressive G0l0s, together with the ex-
clusion from the imperial suite of every
person of German extraction, are con-
sidered symptoms of policy of working
out Russian problems according to Rus
sian ideas alone. This national senti-
ment of Russia for the Russians
shows itself unpleasantly in the barba-
rous treatment of the Jews of Klef
and Tchernigoff. The universities of
Western Europe, founded in a coun-
try, of which scarcely one per cent of
the population is raised above the mere
elements OF civilization, have raised
crop of men out of relation with the &C
tual circumstances of their day who are
disposed, with sophomore enthusiasm,
to plot and murder to bring into Russia
the institutions of which they have read.
The recognition of this fact, that the
evils from which the country suffers
have resulted from the too rapid adop-
ton Of foreign ideas, accounts for the
existence of the Muscovite faction, and
it is, perhaps, the perception that it is
with the aid of this faction alone that
he can hope to escape assassins of the
Hartmann type which has influenced
the Car to abandon the dollhouse policy
of his father

From DR.. Loring's statements at the
opening of the New England Fair, his
policy as Commissioner of Agriculture is
of rather a theoretical than a practical
character. Instead of following his
predecessor plan of experiments in new
and important lines of agriculture. he is
devoting the resources of the bureau to
investigations which are rather in the in
terest of the dealer in agricultural pro-
ducts than in that of the actual agricul-
turist. This is to be regretted, as it is
not carrying out the purpose of the
establishment of the bureau nor the
claims under which appropriations for
IFS maintenance are procured.
