GARFIELD's SIGNATURE.

A Washington special dispatch under
date OF the 10th inst, says The st. Louis
Globe Democrat, announced that President
Garfield had on that day affixed his official
signature to very important public docu-
ment emanating from the department of
state. He had the day before been prop
ped up in bed, and essayed two or three
times to write his name, with a pencil, up-
on a newspaper pad or block. But his
first effort with pen and ink to affix his of
fetal signature was on the 10TH The
success of this effort was hailed as evi
dence that the president was able IN an
emergency, to discharge the executive func-
ton, and was therefore not then 60 dis
abledv within the meaning of the constitu-
ton. Some curiosity obtained throughout
the country regarding the nature of this
first document signed by the president
since he was wounded In some quarters it
was conjectured that it was really call
for an extra session of congress, to be used
in case of an unforeseen emergency-the
death of the president. This was prompt
" denied by the state department, but the
real nature of the document is now for the
first time disclosed.
Adreon Gorter alias Red CASTOR de Ro-
han, and thirty odd other names, had been
apprehended in Halifax for swindling a
lady. He is the same sacreligious swind-
Ter who was convicted in St. Louis in 1879
after long career of crime throughout
the country as a pretended priest and
| thief Sentenced for five years to the pen
itentiary at jefferson City, he effected his
escape with trio of other convicts, trusted
not wisely but too well.
As soon as they read in these columns
of the bogus priests arrest in Halifax, the
state authorities at jefferson City took
measures to secure the return Of the con-
vict to his old quarters in the penitentiary,
and the requisite papers being made out
here, were taken to Washington by Mr..
Willis son, presented to the secretary of
state, and request made for extradition
papers on the governor general of Canada.
| To such papers, issued on foreign coun-
| try, the signature of the president is essen
tial, and the extradition warrant for the
pretended priest was the paper signed by
| the president on the 10th inst. 1t is now
being executed by Mr.. Willis, as the mess
enger of the nation and state, and the
return of the convict to his old quarters is
expected shortly. 1t will furnish another
item in the intesesting history of his crime,
now in possession of the church he deceiv-
ed, and of the police authorities, that the
document returning him to the scene OF
some of his crimes was signed by the presi
dent while suffering in bed from wounds
inflicted by an assassin.

LAST DROP.

BATAVIA, N. Y, Aug. 19.-The execu-
ton of Charles Stockley for the murder of
John Welker, took place here to-day. The
murder occurred on the 9th of April last.
Welker was blowing IN field when Stock
ley deliberately walked up and fired three
shots at him, the last one with fatal effect.
Stockley had been employed by Welker as
a farm hand, and had sought. through
Welker the marriage of his sixteen-year
old daughter, but had been refused, both
by the girl and her parents, and the only
motive for his crime was revenge. Since
his conviction the prisoner has feigned in
sanity, and at times has acted like ma
