brain end nerved tho arm Of the assassin by the
violence Of their unjust accusations against the
President; while another eminent and honorable
Senator, the gallant Poiniexter, Of Mississippi,
was openly accused Of conspiring with the
wretch for the accomplishment Of his murder
GUS purpose, and vile witnesses were procured
to swear to the conspiracy.
Another point of analogy between the oir-
oumotances attending these two events consists
In the fact that the eminent mon In each case
who stand accused Of hatohing conspiracy
helped to place in power the Administration
they arc charged with wishing to pull down by
violence. Mr.. Poindexter and &lr. Calhoun had
assisted to elect Gen. Jackson in 1928, and the
former had been his defender in 1910 against
the charge Of the iawless invasion Of Florida.

Lunatics.

There arc too many lunatios at large 10
this country for their own or the public good.
If we accept the received opinion that all
who commit or attempt to commit suicide,
and oil who arc guilty Of some crime of un-
parallelled atrocity are insane, there must be
q small army Of lunatcs at large in the
United States. The hrst class injuro only
themselves to tho benefit of tho country, but
tho latter stand as privileged criminals, who
prey on society and ut whose hands no man 8
life is secure. Wo have very little faith in
this lunacy dodge. In fact we believe that
men grow tired of lfo aud commit suicide
oithor when depressed or intoxicated, and yet
have business capacity and know right from
wrong perfectly. Much moro do wc believe
that tho grossost crimes arc committed under
pretended insanity. In law children arc held
criminally liable and may be hung for mur-
der, without regard to ago whom they nro
doli capar, thing to be gathered from cir
cumstancos attending the killing, such as

AT the most critical period Of President
Garfelds condition, when the scales indi.
Gated fatal rather than hopeful termination
of his wound, the New York Chamber Of
Commerce presented to Mrs. Garfield two
hundred and Fifty Thousand dollars. The
gift was royal beneaoonce in itsolf, but the
object Of It being to relieve the mind of
tho President from all anxiety as to tho
future competence for his family aud thus
add to the chances Of his recovery, adds to
its worth and constitutes its chiof feature.
To Mrs. Garfield it speaks of the high
esteem in which she is regarded and will
long bo remembered as an expression by
tho people of New York of admiration .or
her virtues and worth. She, on being in-
formed, noither accepted nor rejected it,
but remarked, "There was SO much that was
touching and beautiful in the sympathy Of
the people of tho whole country that she did
not trust herself to think of it,"
Since that timo the New York World
(Democratio) has made proposition to
enlarge the subscription and make it
natioaal. This has been favorab!y received
and already the fund approximates one
hundred thousand dollars more.
The true inwardness of these movements
is union of the whole country in oondem-
nation of the act of tho assassia aud indi-
oates that, if he recovers, tho President, in
10 his administration, will have tho support
Of tho whole people.

President Garfield.

Tho attempt to assassinato President Car
field has met thu condemnation Of tho press
and people Of this great country without re-
gard to party and also Of oil civilized nations
TO him Tito IL no sweetor than to tho hum.
blest citizen Of tho country, nor would tho
taking of his lfe under tho law, be any
greater crime than tho murder Of another.
Still in social and political pense tho mur-
der OF tho executive hoad Of State or ma.
tion works injuries of public character not
likely to aow from simple murder. 1t means
confusion, tho danger Of anarchy, that spirit
of uncertainty which affects prejudcially .
every vital interest Of tho country. It strikes
at tho government itself and thus threatens to
overthrow all restraint depress trade and
ronder at unrost oil social and moral forcos.
How natural then, that tho heart Of tho
country should 90 forth in gratitude toGod that
tho daetardly deed failed Of accomplishment
not only because Of the vile character of tho
contemplated orime in itself, but bcoauso of
the public calamity likoly to 1ow from it's
SUCCESS.
The motive which prompted tho act has
been largely discussed by tho Press. not
few claiming it to bo the fruit of conspiracy
with whiot others unknown aro connected,
whilc others belieye it to be the promoditated
act of Guitean to revenge himself for failure
to got some appointment, while others, tho
greater GLASS, regard it the act of o madman,
whose hallncinaton took the shape Of deliv-
ering his country from, supposed ruin. So
far there seems to be no ground for tho tho.
ory Of any plot, tho opinion growing out Of
the confusion resulting from the action of the
President in his appointing power aud the
excitemens from the resignation and attempt

The Weather and Crops.

For ten days tho weather has been unpre-
ccdcntedly warm for this place. It has been
the annual hot spoil and now VIC think the
| temperature will moderate and not bo again

halla it has been destructively dry, nsomuch
rs to parch. up gardens and seriously injure
field crops Wo do not think above hulf crop
can bo madc in a:small circle about town with
tho best Of seasons hereafter. In tho county
generally seasons have been good and crops
were never moro promising. Wc hear from
the Koowec and Tugaloo sections Of no want
OF rain and the same is true generally over
tho county. Tho wheat crop, through small
In area, is good, and the people of tho county
| orc in good spirits for a bounteous harvest.

The Supreme Court Refuses q Writ Of
Error IN the Case ofJenktns of Fayette
County.
On the 10Th day Of last May a negro
named Stundvrs, was killed in Fayetie
county, this State, by another negro
named Jenkins The last named person
was subsequently arrested, tried, con-
yicted aud sentenced to death by the
courts Of the county, but lis counsel
went 10 the supreme Court and asSt

fused to give last Saturday, and Jen-
kins unless Gov. Jackson extends ex-
ecutive ciemency will be hanged on the
nth OF November next, as per sentence

!:r. circumstances OF the killing OF

as published IN the JOaI7Ini and IN the
SUNDAY papers are incorrect. On the
contrary the parties are proven To have
been friends. Saunders was last seen
m company with JrnSins \ pistol
winch Saunders had b Borrowed irOnI a

and Oi this h" gave \ false account, and
blood STAINS were upon his clothing.

picked mp ne-r the railroad track
aud a pool OF blOoC was near It, ard
blood was also found on the bank of Il g
river Near where the body was found.
Weights had been lied to the feet 10
keep the body down. The jury had o
hesitation II finding Jenkins guilty u
tb,. murIer II seems that the motive
was robbery, because Jenkins knew that
Saunders had some $50 or more, but d d
not know that he had handed the money
to a trend :or sare keeping the day bI

BRICELAND BEATS MURRAY

at Washington City Last Saturday, and
Gives Wheeling o National Reputa-
ton.
The boat race between VIM. Brice-
land, OF this city, and VIM. Murray, OF
Portsmouth, Va, at Washington, ID. G :,
last Saturday, was most satisfactory, and
closes UP the season for Wheeling as she
begun lt-with a victory. The race was
over course on the Potomac, mile
and half up stream and return. Brice-
land did not have the advantage at the
start, but before the end OF mile was
in the lead and although he turned his
buoy wrong, made good his mistake and
came in several lengths ahead, in %
minutes and Is seconds. Murray has
quite arcputation,as an oarsman, having
taken the amateur prize at Saratoga
some time sgo. Bricslands rowing WAS
magnificent, and his Wheeling friends
who were there say he is the coming
man of Wheeling.
Briceland, Hanke and George Bow
ers came home on the midnight train
last night. Mr.. Briceland desires lis to
say that the alleged telegram in last
Fridays MteIligencer is an unqualified
fasehood, as he never sent it nor author
lied it's sending.
Col. Frank McSherry, OF this city, and
one or two others OF his friends, met
him at Grafton and came home with
him.
