AN EXCHANGE says that the President
has two policemen on guard at his residence
in Washington to make the cranks move on.
The idea seems to be that somebody may
try shot at him. 1t might be just as well
to add that shooting at Presidents is not
rule in this country, and that Mr.. Arthur
can go about his business without any fear
of interruption. 1t might be proper to add
that we don't believe he ever expressed any
fear

If HISTORY is correct the late unpleasant
ness began at Charleston, and Fort Sumter
was the point of difference There has been
some talk lately about Confederate bonds
aud their market demand. No complaint
can be made If the holders of these same
bonds allow themselves to be bought up,
but the following from the Charleston Neps
and Courier will be read with interest by
all desiring to make fortunes and retire on
Confederate bonds. Here it Isl when
Bismarck was asked by Alexander of
Battenberg whether he would advise him
to accept the crown of the newly-con-
structed principality of Bulgaria, the sole
answer was, 1t will be an agreeable rem
iniscenee for you The buyers of Confed-
crate bonds can look forward to a similar
qualification. There is not the remotest
chance that these bonds will ever be paid
in whole or in part. The Constitution of
the United States forbids it, and public
sentiment is opposed to it. II may as well
be understood, once for all, that the peo-
pie of the States which formed the
Southern Confederacy neither expect nor
desire the payment Of the Confederate debt,
They did not want it when the bonds We're
owned In the South. They will resist 1t
actively whenever the claim for payment
is made by a body of foreigners who are
specializing in the good feeling existing be-
tween the United States and England. 1t
is really too ridiculous subject for serious
discussion but we consider 1t sure that tho
Southern States would veto the payment OF
the debt, even IL the Northern States were
willing that II should be liquidated."

THE courier-Jouynal puts it this way:


1t Is curious state of things. Statham
Is not appointed because he Is a Democrat ;
not ut all. Giving Office to Democrats Is
not part of the Republican scheme of re-
form. statham Is a Readjuster- Democrat,
and the explanation of his appointment IS
to be found in the first part OF his double
headed name. He is supporter of Malone,
and the Administration is assisting Ma
hone to carry the approaching election In
Virginia with n reputation ticket. But Is
this civil. service reform Is 1t not the very
opposite? Clearly. ,statham Is TO be APP
pointed to the Lynchburg post-ofice las u
reward for political service" as a reward
for supporting. Malone; and Wilson is to
lie turned out for not supporting Malone.
But what difference is there between CIV
ing Malone control OF the Federal patron
age in Virginia and giving Conkling con-
troll of 1t in New York?
None that we can see. Reputation may
take we'll in small country towns but we
venture to remark that somebody's Ebenezer
will rise when you try to apply the same
rural logic to places that are inhabited with
thinking people Of capital.

The silliest if not the most mischievious
reading of the season, is certain class of
editorials ELECTED by the attempt of Gitteau
to kill the president of the United States.
The writer's seem to have become panic
stricken and mad as March hares" at the
audacity of the crime and actually court
the exercise of despotic power over the
whole people of the country, under
the illusive idea that such crimes will
be punished more effectually, if not actual
ly prevented, than under a constitutional
government where liberty is the corner
stone. Here is the old plea of tyrants the
world over-that of necessity-the neces-
sity of preserving public order and pre-
venting crime. 1t is the pretence of des-
potism always. How freeman can allow
themselves to fall into the old trap, and
surrender what has cost rivers of patriotic
blood to secure, passes comprehension.
Better-a thousand times better-the al
ALLEGED turbulence OF liberty than the stag
nation and cruelties of despotic form of
government.
Morris tribune., 1881-07-14

THOUSANDS who have lived many years
less than three score and ten have long
since come to the conclusion that the cur
rent history of their own times is big
bundle of fiction. To such and hosts of
others the trenchant and daring speech
made the other day by Wendell Phillips to
the Phi Kappa men of Harvard Uni
versity, will be regarded as unquestionably
true: History is, for the most part, an
idle amusement, the day dream of pedants
and trifers. The details of events, the
actors motives and their relation to each
other are buried with them. How impos-
sible to learn the exact truth of what took
place yesterday under your next neighbours
roof. Yet we complacently argue and
speculate about matters thousand miles
on and thousand years ago as if we knew
them. When 1 was scholar here, NV IA
vorite study was history. The world and
affairs have shown me that ene-half of his !
tory is loose conjecture, and much Of the
rest is the writer's opinion But most men
see facts not with their eyes, but with their
prejudices. Any one familiar with courts
will testify how rare it is for an honest man
to give perfectly correct account of a
transaction. We are tempted to see facts
as we think they ought to be, OF wish they
were"

HE department of Agriculture at

The department of Agriculture at Wash

United States at so 900, 900, here are near
ly eighteen pages of printed information
for every man, woman and child in the

during the same period, has distributed A.

600, 600 annually, and it is pretty we'll un-
derstood that enormous frauds are perpe-
trated upon the government. Among the
measures suggested to prevent fraud is
that of officially publishing in every post
office, on the first of each quarter, the
names Of the inhabitants of the postal dis
trict who receive pension from the gov
ernment. This would bring the operation
of the act within the wholesome scrutiny
of public opinion. Those who are in the

their names, but rather an adGiti nal

The situation in regard to the succession,
if President Garfield should die, is peculiar.
The constitution provides that in case of
the death of the vice president as we'll as
of the president, the Office shall be filled
by the president pro tenn. of the senate,
and in the event of his death the speaker
of the house. AS 1t happens in this emer-
gency the senate adjourned without elect
ing president pro tenn, the Fo ty-seventh
congress having expired by limitation, there
IS no speaker of the house, and so of the
four persons designated by the constitution
ss possible presidents, only one, General
Arthur now remains. Should he succeed
to the presidency it is probable that the
senate would be called together in extra
seseion to elect president pro tenn. Only
one life between public order and possible
anarchy is risk that no one cares to con-
template.
