Jas. G. BLAINE.
Sec. Of State.
A correspondent Of the Times called
on Ar hur this afternoon and found
him slit t,ng ,houghtfully and alone on
sofa in one of Senator Jones' parlors.
Everything around was confusion.
The house had been shut for the Sum.
mer, and it's occupants were not ex.
peetcd home until Fall The furni.
ture seemed pl.d in the room without
regard to arrangement. Amid these
surroundings sat Arthur with head
bowed down and looking vacantly out
OF the low open widow. The en-.
franc, Of the visitor csused him TO
look up and gire the observer an cp.
portunty Of seeing tho impression
which the calamity Of Saturday has
left on his countenance. Tears stood
in his eyes and the orls themselves
were blood shot. He would trust
himself to speak but little and was
afraid Of being overcome by emotion.
Ills man ,cr rather than his words
showed the deepest feeling and Of evi.
dently genuine sympathy which would
astonish even many Of those who think
they know the man well.
Presidents condition is somewhat
better though he is still in great dan
ger. Danger is from Inflammation
which has already commenced. Dis
charges from his body are natural. Al
together the physicians are hopeful.

WHAT TIE PAPERS SAY.

Yreka Journal. Strong measures should
be adopted to stop this mania for assassina-
ton, which has taken off Abraham Lincoln,
our most revered and honored President,
elected by an Overwhelming majority, and
now threatening to take away the able and
popular James A. Garfield.
Oakland Tribune. The very first angry
shout of universal humanity is-he ought
to die. But if he is insane Then such
insanity is too dangerous to live There
is too much method in his malignity he is
not insane, say many wise men. Heredity
has made him but fraction of man.
To-day fraud, tomorrow fanatic but
| all the time enough of reason and con-
science to Be responsible for his acts. Men
can never agree upon the question of the
sanity or insanity of such man.
Peoples Cause. Guitteau should be hung
as high as Haman, and no man should for
moment entertain the thought that he is
more of crazy lunatic than thousands of
| others in the land. Furthermore, anyman
who apologies for or attempts to excuse
the bloody deed should be viewed with
suspicion as an enemy of the people, and
| the would-be destroyer of the nation s
freedom and liberties. Hang a few such
zealots as Guitteau without Judge or jury
and the political atmosphere of the nation
would become purer.
There seems, says the Colusa Sun, to be
" corners" all around against the farmers
There is a corner on sacks, corner on
ships, and a corner to keep the price of
grain down generally. During the last
year farmers have gotten used to low
prices, and hence will not have the back
bone they had twelve months ago but if
they had the backbone to hold on it would
drop the price of freight materially. If the
farmers could refuse to load the ships now
here or on the way at any such exorbitant
| prices as so shillings the price would come
down.
Grass Valley Union, The attempt to
take the life of the President, whether at
tended with fatal result or not, shows to
the American people the necessity of pro-
viding some protection that may be eff
ficient in preserving the incumbent OF that
high Office of the personal danger with
which he is jeopardized. Some will see in
the recent event reasons for a stronger gov.
ernment, in which the military arm shall
be prominent, if not dominant an idea
that has been held by no inconsiderable
number OF the people since the close of the
war. Others would suggest military
body guard who at all times would hedge
in the President from personal harm. But
either of these precautions would be such
a radical departure from the theory and
practice of the Government through all the
years of its history that they would moi
meet the purpose satisfactorily if repub
lie in name and fact is to be maintained
The same journal adds that good plar
would be to divide or distribute the Presi
Dental responsibility, as to lessen the la
bility of attack upon him.

parent that there was still great
room for improvement in matters
