SENATOR INGALLS, AT WILL
LIAMS COLLEGE.

"The Relations of the Scholar TO
American Politics." is the subject of an
address delivered by Senator Ingalls, be-
fore the students of Williams College
the day that President Garfield was to
have spoken there. The following ex-
tract cmbodies the views of the senator
on the attempted assassination of the
President:
"Whether the assassination ofthe Pres
ident was the work Of an irresponsible
maniac or an Office seeking, revengcful
man, or political fanatic, il was a ter
rible stigma and disgrace ON free gov
eminent and popular institutions. No
man ever came into possession of power
with more enthusiastic support, more af-
fectionate admiration, more sincere re-
spect, good will and esteem from friends
and adversaries than did President Gar
field. His previous career had been both
brilliant, solid and profound. He emerg-
ed from obscurity by force of his genius,
TO reach his place over obstacles almost
insuperable. We record with peculiar
pride what popular government affords
TO talent and ambition. His personal
qualities were attractive and engaging,
his presence was commanding, his ma
tuIC was
capable of meanness, treachery or in
trigue, moving straight TO his designs.
Chicanery was a stranger to his soul.
He wanted to have it radiant with love
TO his fellow men, and the speaker didn't
believe he had personal enemy. His
foundness for literature had survived his
youth and solaced all his laborious life.
He wanted to administer the government
| as n trust confided by Providence, for
whose exercise he was directly RESPONSE
BILE to the Supreme Ruler of states
and men. When the sun rose Saturday
morning, no ruler was more secure than
he in the goodwill of $4,000, goo people,
surrounded by the impossible barriers
| and bulwarks of a great nation. While
l fully cxOneratc and acquit all parties
and factions and party leaders of any
knowledge or participation in this crime,
by whose commission some of them
would profit, so may declare 1t my
| judgment and conviction that this afro
cious act is directly due to the intolerant
| caprices of political strife, as was the
| death of Abraham Lincoln to the rage OF
slavery, though the confederate lead
| ers had no connection with Booth or his
crime. There is a fatal contagion in such
| an atmosphere of hatred and brutal fury
as has surrounded our political contests
in Washington and elsewhere, which ef
fects feeble brains and unbalanced ma
lures, making them the unconscious in
| strumcnts of murder and rebellion.
hope that the result of this deplorablI
| event will be TO call the attention of TIT
American people to the perils that at
tend the influence of our politics, and re
mind them that assassination is not
safe remedy for imaginary or real griev
ances with those in authority"

PERTAINING TO PRESIDENTS.


The Aichison Champion complies the
following interesting historical points in
relation to the different Presidents from
the time of Washington to the present:
The most dangerous period of Presi-
dent Garfield's case was, il Is said, on
the Fourth of July. His life that day
hung by a very slender thread, and his
physicians and attendants hardly ex-
pected him TO survive the anniversary.
This recalls the fact that three of our
Presidents have died ON the Fourth.
John Adams and Thomas Jefferson both
died ON the 4th of July, 1926, and James
Monroe on the 4th of July, 1881.
Washington died on the 14th of De
cembcr, 100, after a sickness of only
one day. The news of his death reached
New York three days later, having been
was then considered remarkably quick
dispatch. The news of the assault on
President Garfield was known in every
city throughout the civilized world with
in three hours after IL occurred.
President Madison died on the 18th of
juno 1896; President Harrison died in
the White House, April 18th, 1871 Just
one month after his Inauguration. Pres
ldent jackson died June 9Th, 1915, at the
Hermitage. President John Quincy
Adams, died in the Speakers room at
the Capitol, Feb. 23rd, 1913, two days
after falling in the House of Represen-
tatives while making a speech. James
X. Polk died at Nashville, Tenn, June
18th, 1910, only three months after the
close of his presidential term. Zachary
Taylor died in the White House, on the
9th of July, 1850, having served as Pres
ident only one year and four months.
During the next decade, 1890 TO 1870,
FIVE ex-Presidents died, John Tyler on
the 18th OF January, 1862; Martin Van
Buren, on the Gath of July, 1862; Abra-
ham Lincoln on the morning of the 10Th
of April, 1865; James Buchanan on the
LIST of June, 1858; and Franklin Pierce
on the Sth of October, 1862 Willard
Fillmore died March Sth, 1874, and An
drew johnson, July 31st, 1875.
It will be noticed that six of our Pres
idents have died in July, four in June,
two in April, and one in each of The
months of January, December, February,
| March and October. There are two ex-
Presidents living, Grant and Hayes.

uiation that The probabilities of Vice
President Arthur's being called 30 AS
sumo the duties of the chief executive
arc daily growing more remote. we deem
it only fair 10 say that the country las
not lost sight of his admirable bearing
during the dark hours which have
elapsed since the attempted assassin:-

nobility with which the Vice President
has carried himself during enc of the
fiercest ordeals through which any mnn
could be called 20 pass.
From the moment General Arthur re-
ceived the shocking intelligence of the
attempt upon the life of the Resident

shrank painfully from the prospect Of
being called tn a post whose grave re-
sponsibilities he seemed To fear were
greater than he was fitted 10 grappIe
with, and no demonstrations of sordid
ambition on his part added humiliation
TO the deep grief into which the nation
was plunged the morning that its head
was shot down at.his post ofduiy. AlIthe
present indications strengthen the hope
that kind Providence will spare the
life of our beloved President, and it is
not now probable that il VIII become
necessary for General Arthur to assume
the reins of government as the successor
of President Garfield. But in the event
of any such unlooked.for dispensatiOn,
II is comforting to know that he has es-
tablished a claim upon the admiration
and respect of the American people that
would contribute vastly to the success
of his administration.

/ Terrible Crime.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, July GA special
to the CourierJ Journal from Atlanta
says; On tie Goth of June, Mrs. Nit
chell, wife of a respectable citizen of
Randolph county, was found on the
roadside between her homo and a
neighbours house, dead with her
throat cut. She had been ravished
after a fearful struggle. Imprints
of teeth were found in a number of places
on her body, showing that the rayisher
had lost one front tooth. A man named
Waldron, was known to have been
in the vicinity, and the fact that he had
one tooth out directed suspicion to him.
The trail was followed by blood
hounds, and Waldron was captured near
HOpkinsville, in this state, and lodged
in Jail. Last Saturday night he confess
ed to the murder, saying he thought she
was a woman who had testified against
him in a criminal case, but denied that
he had outraged her Mrs. Mitchell had
been married only few months and had
many friends. She was about 10 years
of age. Monday night one hundred
armed men took Waldron from
jail and started for the scene
of his crime with the intention of burn
ing him alive. A telegram from there
to-day states that Waldron was yesterday
hanged TO a tree at the foot of which
his victim was found dead, Waldron
was only twenty three years old, and had
five living wives.

The first payment of 100000 upon
the 4,O00,00 acres Of land purchased in
Florida by the Philadelphia company
was made on Tuesday by Mr.. Hamilton
Disston. The editor of the Floridian,
published IN Tallahassee, during re-
cent visit in Philadelphia, spoke favora-
bly, of this immense purchase, which
comprises about one-eighth of the state
of Florida. He said that the land was
excellent and offered strong inducements
to immigrants. All the tropical
fruits would grow there, and the
pineapple came to perfection with
out attention. Bananas and cassavas
grew in proiusion, and the soil was fine
ly adapted 10 the growth of vegetables
and melons. Immigrants, he said, were
coming in largely from the southwest,
and to some extent from the New Eng
land states, but the greatest trouble with
them was that they came with visions OF
orange groves and not caring to till the
soil. Florida was getting her share of
immigration, but not as much rs
Texas. The interior of the state was 10

chases by the Philadelphians,a and give an

fruits. they would need the accom-.
modatons offered by the railroad I'M
