In his communication relating to the
Cannon case, Mr.. Bushnell appears
to devote the major portion Of his time
to belaboring the newspapers for their
shortcomings. The gentleman has a
wrong view Of the matter, THE HERALD
is essentially and emphatically a ne,c8-
paper and is no more interested in the
case Of Mr.. Bushnelrs client than it is
in numerous other cases Of like nature
occurring in different parts Of the
county. The plan advanced in the COM
munication Of leaving out all mention
Of affairs of this kind until the case had
been brought before the courts and adju-
dictated upon, might have done very
well fifty or hundred years ago but
would hardly pass current i'll this age OF

Attorney General Wilson in few re-
marks made last Friday evening touch
ing criticism of THE HERALD upon an
opinion given by him in regard to the
form of ballots for and against the con
stitutional amendments at the recent
election, thought The HERALD 'un-
kind. Ii seeking to point out errors
which were glaringly apparent under
the constitutional law of the State is
such then THE HERALD will have to
plead guilty to the soft impeachment.
Yet in his explanation, which preceded
This accusation, the Attorney General
failed to state wherein THE HERALD was
wrong in it, premises except on the
ground that the Legislature had power
TO annul the plain provisions of the con-
stitution, proposition which no student
of constitutional law will admit for
moment and which was the main point
of The HERALD's argument in the crit
icism in question. Section |, Article II,
of the constitution says, in reference to
to the case OF several amendments being
submitted at the same time:
Prorided. that if more than one amendment be
submitted. they shall be submitted in such
manner that the people may vote for against
such amendments separately.
If this language means anything it
means that if any voter SO wishes he
shall have the privilege of voting on
each amendment separately and no leg
islaturc or other body has right to
debar him from exercising this privilege
But, explained the Attorney General,
the legislature of 1863 in its provision
for the submission of amendments to
the people prescribed that the ballots
for the amendments should be cast to-
gether in one ticket and those against the
amendments in Ike manne~: there was
no complaint in that instance hence there
should be none in the present. The
amendments proposed in 1869 were not
Of a nature to attract much attention
and consequently the question as to the
legality Of the legislative enactments
never arose. Such argument, however,
is but a begging of the question. The
point at issue is not whether the atten-
ton of the people was called to the un-
constitutionality of the law of 1869, but
whether this law and that of last winter
are constitutional or not On this point
the Attorney General is silent, leaving
The HERALp's position untouched,
namely; that each voter has a right
under the constitution to vote separately
on each amendment to that instrument
pres nted for his consideration all lcgis-
lature- to the contrary notwithstanding

The recent rise IN the price OF old
Confederate bonds caused decided
sensation ia financial and other circles,
Public establishment could hardly have
been greater had the grim ghost of the
defunct southern confcderacy been
raised from its ill-starred grave From
causes nj present uneNplainablc these
obsolete securities, yesterday worth
barely the price of old paper, are to-day
a quotable quantity in the list of mar
ketablc bonds From $3.50 per
81 1000 they advance upward in England
until they reached $1,000 per ~. 900
Theories in explanation of this move
ment against financial wind and tide are
plenty, but facts, upon which an opin-
ion of the moving cause can be based,
are noticeable by their absence. The
first explanation offered was to the effect
that sentiment and brotherly love were
expected in time to so overcome the
practical business sense of the nation
that it would voluntarily liquidate this
last rcmiuisccnoo of a Loot cause
later theory based the movement more
plausibly upon desire to force the
Bank of England which was said to
hold a large sum deposited therein by
the officials of the defunct confederacy,
to disgorge that deposit in payment of
these bonds. London papers, however,
notably the Times and Pail Mall Gazette,
deny fatty that any such money is de-
posted in the Bank of England or in
any bank in that country. Hence the
motive underlying this remarkable re-
viyal of bursted bubble is as far from
being solved as ever, although it is pos
sible that the ring of spectators are
playing shrewdly upon that chord in the
human breast which rejoins to the faint
est breath of unknown possibilities. 1t
is likely that building upon this, and
that speculative tendency that is a char
acteristic of the present time when col
ossal fortunes have been made from
nothing, they hope by careful admix-
ture of silence and assumed confidence
/ in the advance in these worse than use
less representatives of value that never
i was. to bull the market value of their
stock in hand and then unload rapidly
leaving their dcluded victims to dispose
as best they can Of their useless paper,
while the managers pocket a handsome
penny as a Sc>ult of their knowledge of
I human nature.

sent for pointed to the occurrence OF

was Warren Young, one OF the
Secretafies, who spoke. In an instant the
little telegraph Office in Elberon Hotsl

sent. Warren Young sent the first
official offs W Wsshington and to Mentor.

THE DEATH seen Il.
A stricken.Hearted Widow

LONG BRASCH, September l9.-Pre-
vious TO his death the only words
spoken by the President were that he
had severe pain in his heart. II is
supposed by the surgeons that death
was occasioned by clot OF blood FORM
ing on the heart. On entering the
room Dr. Bliss at once saw
that the end was near. The
members OF the family were at once
summoned to the bedside. All arrived,
and perfect quiet prevailed. Mrs. Gar
field bore the trying ordeal with great
fortitude and exhibited unprecedented
courage. She gave way to no paroIisms
OF grief, and when death became evi.
dent she quietly withdrew to her
own room. There she sat
heart stricken widow, full
OF grief, but with too much Christian
courage to exhibit TO those about her.
He was laboring under terrible strain,
and despite her efforts tears flowed from
her eyes and
Her Lips Became Drawn
by her noble attempt to bear the burden
with which she had been afflicted. Miss
Mollie was greatly affected,
and bursts Of tears f)wed
from the child's eyes, notwithstanding
her noble effort to follow the example OF
her mother. The death scene was one
never to be forgotten. Perfect quiet
prevailed, and there was not murmur
heard while the President was. sinking.
After death had been pronounced, the
body was properly arranged by
DR.. Boynton. Telearams were at
once sent to the Presidents in Ohio and
to his sons Harry and James, who are
now at Williams college. as also 10 Vice.
President Arthur and other public men.
Mr.. Morris, the undertaken OF the
village will be in charge Of
the body. Eugene Britton, coroner
OF Monmouth county. will hold an
inquest over the body OF the late
President. He has as yet made no
arrangement for the inquest, and a. I r
as can he ascertained, he has not yet
been notified OF the Presidents death.
