Beecller ON the Assassination.
New YORK, July 9.-Henry Ward Beech
er, at the prayer meeting last evening, re-
ferring to the attempted assassination, said:
"The nation was for a moment in the con-
dition of the child that wakes at midnight,
and cries for its nurse or water, and finds
neither of them. There would have been
great inconvenience if the Presidents life
had been taken, but it would not have
shaken the Government or nation. It ia
strange that a man who had Just gone
through so many dangers on the battle
field should, after so many years, have
been stricken down by the hand of an as
sassin in the midst Of security and peace.
The deed, however, had unified all parties,
sects and denominations. There were no
partisans, no sectarians and no divisions
of sentiment among the people, although
we were in the midst Of political juggling,
which | regard as one Of the most unfor-
%tunate, and, I may say, disgraceful things
l have ever known. The Republican
party, which carried the nation through
its recent struggle, is 10 like Roman SOL
diers, sitting on the ground throwing dice,
to see who shall have o share OF the Sa-
vior's garments. Liberty was imperiled
for the sake Of party plumber. Guiteau
should be the subject Of penal action. We
have no use for such men any longer.
This liberty should no longer be permit
ted. He should be confined for life under
rigid control.
A Caucus Secured.
ALBANY, July 8.-A Republican legisla.
tive caucus met in the Assembly Chamber
at 4:3O P. NJ. Mr.. Phillips called the eau.
