THE DORY LITTLE WESTERN.

The dory Little Western, manned by George P.
Thomas and Fred. Norman, arrived at Gloucester
on the 18th, having completed a round trip from
that port to London and back She is 49, feet
keel, p in depth, feet inches in width, and is
the only dory that ever crossed the ocean both
ways. She was built in Gloucester in May, 1880,
and sailed from there June r. $780, touched at the
Scilly Islands when five hours less than forty
four days out arrived at Cowes July ., and
Gravesend August l. Her average progress was
sixty-three miles per day and her best run 1853
miles After being on exhibition in various
British ports for ten months she sailed from Lon
don on the 14th of June, passing the Lizard on
the 9th, and, after rough passage, touched at
Point Mirthan, Cape Breton, August g, and ar
rived at Halifax September ,, sailing thence for
Gloucester six days later
The Little Western is the third Gloucester
built dOry to cross the Atlantic, Alfred Johnson
crossing alone in the Centennial in 1876 and
Andrews and BOos in the Nautilus in 1878. The
Little Western will proceed to New York

President Arthur.

1t is not yet time, nor is it befitting opportu-
nifty for to speculate as to the future course of
the new President. During the trying weeks in
tervening since the I'd of July he has demeaned
himself in such a manner as to win the respect of
all; and from his well-known character we have
good reason to hope that his administration will
be worthy, not only of himself, but of the great
party which put him in position to become the
successor of the lamented dead. The Republican
party elected him Vice President thus express
ing their confidence in his loyalty, integrity,
ability, and good Judgment, and we do not be-
leve they will have any OCCASION from any act
of his, to regret their choice. 1t is true that he
enters upon the duties of his high office at a time
of great public excitement, and while the people
are mourning for his immediate predecessor. His
position is far from being pleasant one, but for
that he is in nowise responsible. The Consttu-
ton has made him President as imperatively as
the people had previously made him Vice Presi
dent, and as good citizens we ought to assist and
encourage him in his administration of affairs
honestly earnestly, and willingly. If we do this
we may safely trust to him and his advisers to
do whatever may be found necessary in order to
ensure for us, as Nation, peace and prosperity
at home, and due respect abroad

The POst-mOrtem Examination.

The official report of the post-mortem examina-
ton of the body of the deceased President if cor
rectly stated, reveals a singular condition of af-
fairs The assassin's bullet was found to the left
of the spine back of the heart while all along,
according to the statements of the attending sur
geons, the track of the leaden messenger of death
was down the right side resulting in a wound
more than sixteen inches in depth, and which
terminated near the groin. If medical science
can furnish no more correct diagnosis than was
made by Bliss and his colleagues, then, indeed,
were we better off without doctors

THE TRUTH OF HISTORY,

The latest answer to Mr.. Black comes from Mr..
Henry Janney, who writes to the Baltimore
american that when the ship for the relief of
Major Anderson sailed, a member of Buchanans
Cabinet telegraphed to Charleston: "The Star Of
the Vest is entering your harbor to provision
Fort Sumter. Sink her. He throws the re-
sponsibility for the dispatch upon all of Mr..
Buchanan's advisers by asking "Who can say
that the telegram was not sanctioned by the Cab
inet?" In another place he is more specific
where he recalls conversation of his with "Clem
Vallandigham and Jere Black" when the latter
two tried to convince him" of the virtue and
power of the rebellion, " the Judge" saying:
"As Virginian you should be ashamed of your
self not to espouse the cause of your section and

National Cemeteries.

We publish in another column list of National
Cemeteries, with the number of interments in
citizen in the land
Three hundred thousand men lie buried at diff
ferent pOints-men who died that the Nation
might live. All the money spent in the prosecu-
ton of the war becomes as dross when compared
with the rich gift Of so much of loyalty, man
hood, and patriotic devotion.

Not satisfactory.

1t would have been more satisfactory to the
people of the United States had some reputable
and well known surgeons outside of those who
were or had been in attendance upon President
Garfield been called in to be present at the post
mortem examination The character of the bull
letns issued from time to time during the last
eighty days is not calculated to strengthen the
faith of the public in the correctness of subse-
quent statements made by the same parties in
relation to the matter.

Guiteau.

The victim lies beneath the CapitOls high
dome, cold, silent, peacefully, dead. A Nation
mOurns for him. and the hearts of fifty millions
of people are throbbing in unison with sympathy
for his widow and orphan children.
The assassin lies in his cell at the jail prey
hellish deed has called into existence. They are
eating into his very vitals as it were, like pack
of ravenous wolves. They give him no relief.
Night and day he is brought face to face with
his crime and compelled to live over and over
again his sufferings.
The victim is guarded by love-the assassin
by the stern arm Of the law. About his prison
sentres pace up and down to remind him that
for him there is day of reckoning yet to come.
From all that can be gathered of his past life
his is a currish and dangerous nature, and we are
is but one such-one Guiteau-between the two
oceans We do not believe that were the con-
tinent to be searched over his like could be
found We hope we may soon be rid of him
that no pare tecnnlcallty OF the law may stand
between him and speedy trial, conviction,
sentence, and punishment.
We desire, however, to see that he has the
right guaranteed to every citizen-of fair and
impartial trial. His crime was committed in
land Of law, and under the law let him be con-
demned. Any other method which might be
tn ha of Co fial6
would dishonOr our Government and bring shame
upon our people. Let us be patient, therefore,
and in good time shall be able to prove to the
world that the Government lives though it's
Chief Magistrate was vilely slain, and that we,
as Nation, can be eminently just even to the
greatest criminal among men.

SERGEANT MASON'S CRIME.

There has been more or less discussion as to
whether the civil or military courts would try
Mason The fact that cOurt-martial has been
appointed to meet at Washington, has misled
the daily papers. This court-martial has been
called for routine business, and was ordered
before Mason committed his offense. Besides, q
court to try Mason would manifestly have to be
constituted somewhat differently. General Han
cock has received the charges against Sergeant
Mason. There are two, as follows: First con-
duct prejudicial to good order and military dis
cipline; second attempting to shoot prisoner
without orders from superior officer. Doubt
less general cOurt-martial will be organized for
MasOns trial next week under the sixty-secOnd
Article of War. We repeat that the violation
of duty by Sergeant Mason is one for which
there is no excuse. He detested Guiteau; but
he had no monopoly of detestation, for every
right-minded citizen feels the same sentiments
But he has succeeded in inflicting a severe blow
on the honored reputation of the Army for being
body that could be trusted to execute the laws
no matter what were the swayings of popular
passion around it.-Army and Macy Journal.

Loud subject.

New York, 12.-The Times finds more
deplorsble matter for political criticism
at its own doors than the condition of the
civil service in San Francisco, according
to the following from to-dsy's editorials:
The governors proclamation concerning
the suppression of nuisances ct Hunter
Point is very like Pope's bull against
the comet. The proclamation was issued
on April 22d. and the msintainers OF the
nuisance referred to were given until
June to close their factories. The mid
die of August has been reached and vile
odors continue to be generated. No pen
can ftly describe the filth which fills the
air and wSter near the new town. This
little sluggish stream is black As ink, and
the atmosphere is laden with sitting
smells. The factories are owned by rich
corporations, who defy the law and pub
lie opinion. If anybody can bribe Off
GERS of Justice, corrupt juries and silence
with cash the men whose business 1t Is to
proceed against them, the managers of
these corporations can do it. The Tunes
shows that the Brooklyn board OF health
and district attorney Of Kings County
are directly amenable to this charge,
members OF the former having actually
lobbi d against the passage of the law
under which the governors proclamation
was issued. When a Times reporter
visited the district attorneys Office he
found all the authorities within reach dis
posed to treat the whole matter as a sub
iect of merriment and ridicule. All o.
the officials Of Kings County, wheneve,
their services were required, have rushed
to the defense Of the owners Of the stencil
factories where the air is poisoned b5
their emsnaLions.

Tunis' Trouble.

Tunis, 12.-Oficial reports ofindepen-
dent persons all tend to show that French
troops plundered the houses Of Europeans
at Sfax.
Marauding bands, who hitherto con-
fined themselves to the districts east and
south of Tunis, have now commenced
depr edations in the country in the direc-
ton of Algeria. 1t is stated that some
mountain tribes of the border have also
revolte !, but it is impossible to ascertain
to what extent. Most of the French
troops are moving in that direction,
which tends to show that the disturb
ance is serious. Only 800 French cav
airy are in the city. so it is impossible to
check the depredations Of the mounted
Arabs.
Paris, 12.-The infection of French
troops to occupy Susa has been sband.
one6 in consequence of the Inhabitants
baving sent notice of submission to the
Bey.

WASTES NO GRAIN. I saw it work
for hours in wet Barley ind wet and
