ODD PRESCRIPTIONS.


It is evident that the supply of charla-
tanism in the country is inexhaustible, and
that we still cherish here and there medi-
cal superstitions such as would do credit to
Dahomey. The nature Of many of the pre-
scriptions and screeds of advice kindly
rendered to the President at this time is
illustrative of what we have remarked, and
though no doubt the warmest patriotism
and most genuine sympathy prompted
these offers, it is impossible to contem-
plate them without experiencing feeling of
unalloyed amazement, mingled with per-
plexity as to the kind of intelligence which
could alone have devised such remedies.
In fact, it is apparent that if the President
were not yigilantly guarded against the
ignorant goodwill of these extraordinary
simpletons they would make speedy end
of him,

COMBINES VIEWS.

When the assassin Guitteau was visited
the other day in the Jail, he disclosed to
his interlocutor the curious fact that he
was in expectation of large measure of
approval for what he had done. He
thought that the "s.alwarts everywhere
must be lighting bonfres and having pro-
cessions in his honor, and that the New
York Herald and other supporters of
Conklingism would defend and applaud his
crime. When we read Mr.. Conkling's ex.
pressions upon the assassination we are
forcibly reminded of these pecuIiarities of
the Guitteau mind. There is indeed, a
curious analogy between the two lines of
thought. Mr.. Conkling is of course not
an assassin nor an irresponsible advent
Grer, but he betrays an inability to com.
prehend the tenor of national opinion
which in his case, and considering his op-
portunities, ought to be regarded as even
more remarkable than Guitteaus fantasies.
Mr. Conkling is very sorry for President
Garfield, but he is iilled with yirtuous Ia
dignation at the thought that anyone
should doubt the entire capacity of Vice.

MERGED, July CHA perplexing mystery
IS now bothering the heads of the local eff
GERS of MERGED. On Saturday night last
James Berthol was coming to town along the
Plainsburg route, aud came upon one-horse
buggy standing in the road, headed for
Merced. without a driver. He hallooed aad
hunted for the missing driver of the vehicle
without success, and finally cane to town
with the vehicle, and left the horse and buggy
at the Eagle stables. Yesterday the Sheriff
was notified of the mysterious appearance Of
the horse and buggy, aud went out along the
road TO search for the driver, and found that
a similar vehicle had been in Plainsburg on
Saturday but there is no further clew to the
mystery This afternoon the Sheriff's party
are again searching the country along the
road from here to Plainshurg. Foul play Is
sus pacted, but no one has been found who
knows who the missing man is, or where he
comes from.

ASSASSIN NO. 5.

Yesterday the third assassin made his
appearance at Washington. He was COM
missioned to kill Vice-Pregident Arthur,
and being perfectly frank assassin he
went to the Adiutant- Generals office and
announced his purpose. This was very
considerate, and if all future assassins will
be good enough to follow the example they
will save a good deal of trouble. How
many men are on the road, converging upon
Washington, of course nobody can tell !;
but it is clear that the crime of Guitteau is
developing large crop of homicidal
maniacs, and that it may be necessary in
consequence to keep watch upon all pub
lie men of any value fo- some time to come.
1t is quite probable that some more assaa.
sins will reach the national capital in the
course of the day.

WHAT DO THEY EXPECT {?

The New York Tribune asks "a What are
those thirty-three members standing by
"Cenkling for > His conduct is easily ex-
"plained, but there is no apparent reason
''for theirs. They have nothing to gain by
ait. He is dead politically. Whatever
theoutcome of this contest may be, it will
"not in any way benefit him. There can be
"no Conkling party hereafter. Before
November there win be no Republicans
in the country gave Administration Re.
"pubIicans Where are these thirty. three
linen going to: They must either follow
"Conkling TO political death or join the
Democratic party two things which be-
"ing equal to the same thing are equal to
each other" This was written before
the attempt to murder the President. The
inquiry has become more pertinent since
then. The men who are adhering to Conk-
ling despite of everything are to-day
liable to sharper suspicion than at any
previous time. and it is on the esrds that
their desperate enterprise may dsnn them
bopelessly.

present Executive. He ,.annot understand
how any person possessing the least patri-
otism can venture to hint at the unfitHess
OF his friend Arthur. Nearly all OF his
talk in fact eeems to have been directed to
an exposition OF the talent and ability OF
the Vice. President, and his wild de-
nunciation of all who hold different
views is in its way as extraordinary an
exhibition of monomania as anything
Guitteau is credited with. Conkling evil
IDENTIFY does not know that he is this mo-
ment the most unpopular man in the
Unitad States, and that the bitteres5
pang in the intelligence of the late crime
lay in the reflection that if the President
died he (Conkling) would virtually sue
coed to the control of the Government.
No man in his present position who under
stood his own relations would have made
SO amazing an exhibition of himself as
Conkling has in these utterances. It ia
only possible, therefore, to conclude that
his monstrous egotism has fatally i'm
paired his understanding, and that he
| really conceives himself to be supported
and approved by the country at large,
| and to be fully trusted as the adviser and
controller of Arthur. Nothing could be
farther from the truth, of course, but he
appears to have not the remotest idea Of
the actual situation. A man of sense and
delicacy would have absolutely refused to
say anything at SO critical a iuncture, but
it is painfully conspicuous that Conkling
has neither the one nor the other, and that,
in fact, he has become unable to compre-
head the events which are passing around

TIE PROPOSED CELEBRATION.

1t has been suggested that in the event
Of President Garfeld's recovery the whole
country might with much propriety cele-
brate his restoration as sort of postponed
or supplemental holiday of the Fourth OF
July kind. If the President reco~ers we
have no doubt whatever that nothing less
than such celebration will suffice to ex-
press the cxultation and delight Of the ma
ton. There will be no arguments required
TO spur the people up on such an occasion.
The rejoicing will be alike spontaneous and
universal, and it viii be the most enthusi-
astic and genuine festival the country has
seen since the surrender Of Lee at Apo.
matox Court house. But it viii never do
to make mistake in a matter OF this kind,
and no mistake could be half so mortify-
ing as premature rejoicing AT this mo-
ment all the indications in the Presidents
case are favorable, and the prospect of his
recovery is better than it has been at any
previous time since he was shot. But for
all this it must be understood that he is not
out of danger, and is at present impossible
TO say when he will be. 1t is evident that
the physicians do not yet know where the
ball went. They are therefore working in
the dark. All they know is that the ball
is still in his body, and that fact compi-
Gates the case terribly. 1t IS almost GER
tain to work mischief, wherever it is, and
though this mischief may be some time
in showing ITSELF, it may also be fatal when
it does happen. An absce,s may form
about the ball. The matter from thai alb
scess may be absorbed by the blood yes.
sells, and pyemia follow. This may occur
after the wound has apparently healed.
Or the indications Of spinal injury which
have been SO marked from the beginning,
may develop into something serious or
even fatal. When a man has an ounce of
lead in his body it is impossible to say
what may or may not result from it, but
it is certain that the patient will be long
time in critical condition. We believe
that none of the attending medical men
know at all when the most serious crisis is
at hand. They are all guessing. because
they do not know where the ball is, and
theyare now afraid to search for it because
of the inflammation. Until the ball is
found, or all inflammation has subsidized,
or sufficient time has elapsed to render it
improbable that any dangerous internal
suppuration viii take place, the country
must consequently continue in suspense,
and must postpone all idea of a celebrs-

THE SAN JOSE FIRE.

San Jose has lost her pretty and admi
rably fitted Opera House by fire. The loss
is serious one unless it was well insured,
for when such building is destroyed it is
not always certain to be restored. The
Opera House cost $4,000, and was the
one decent theater in the State outside Of
San Francisco. Sacramento could have
had as good theater for the money, but
though the matter has been discussed here
ftfully, and though the abominable old
barn which now spoils every dramatic
representation is felt to be shame and
disgrace to the city by every body who
enters it, It has thus far been impossible to
conjure up the necessary enterprise to cup.
plant it with civilized theater.
