GOV. FARNHAM'S TRIBUTE.

Gov. Farnham in his address of wei.
come to those assembled at the Ameri-
can Teachers Institute, held at st. AL
bans last week. alluded to the president
in the following language:
But our welcome and your stay
among US is tinged with sadness when
We remember that be who was to have
been with us and given encouragement
by his presence and his words, lies strick-
en- down by the murderous hand of the
assassin. We shall miss the help of his
hearty manner and strong thoughts, but
we know that if living his heart is with
US, for he once labored with the great
army of teachers. Only when about to
be deprived of great blessings do we ap-
preciate their true value. Never till
the sad news of the presidents assassi-
nation flashed over the wires did the
people of our broad land realize how
much they loved President Garfield. He
has taken hold of the hearts of the peo-
pie as no other man has since days of
Abraham Lincoln. His broad basis of
moral character, his large intellectual
endowments, his rich and varied expe-
rience in camp and in civil life, his
strong patriotism-but more than all,
his deep sympathy with the people in
| all their trials and sorrows-nurtured
by his growth upward through all ranks
Of society, have endeared him to all
hearts. We never knew how we loved
him till now. (Applause.) His death
would rend the great heart of the nation
No man to-day can fill his place in the
affections of the American people
Should his life be ended now the whole
world would have reason to mourn The
premature death of one of its creates
and best men, cut down in the yer,
prime of manhood, in the maturity ant

the people as to elevate them, and thu

startling statement was made on Penn
sylvania avenue to-day, soon after noon,
by man of medium size, with worn,
wrinkled, anxious face and high fore
head, which was partly covered by stray
Cling gray hair. The declaration was
made with the utmost unconcern, within
the hearing of a police officer. The
man was instantly arrested. He offered
no resistance, but said to the officer, II

dividual extended his hand to the officer
in charge. saying, Don't you know
me ?" The officer did know him. The
man was Daniel G. Mcnamara, an Irish
man, about So years of age, and was
once private in the Third United States
Cavalry, and has more than once been
under arrest as insane. The lieutenant
in charge asked the weird stranger what
he had come to do here. Taking out g
loaded six-shooting revolver, he repeated
to the lieutenant the story he had told
the patrolman on the street, and wanted
an introduction to Mr.. Blaine.

President Garfeld's two sons, Irving
aged IL and Abram aged 9. were kept
in ignorance of their fathers injury un-
til Sunday, when the news was broken
to Irving. He tried to be calm right
manfullY and dried his tears at first,
lest his younger brother should notice
them. The latter had however noticed
the large number of kilograms constant
ly following each other from Washing
ton, and his attention was quickly at
tracted by his brothers. actions so it
was found impossible to keep the il.
formation from him longer. All the
news was given them on Monday, and
it was painful to witness the anxiety
with which they watched for the con.
slant news bulletins from the White
House. They realized that it was best
for them to remain at Mentor, and have
MT asked to be taken to Washington.

requesting him to say to Mrs. Garfield
that the members of the New York cham

VINO SAW IT FIRsT.-The question
of who discovered the present comet has
become most momentous one. Over
500 persons have laid claim to the hon
or aud the Warner Prize of 5000, and
all of them are within comparatively
the same time. 1t is desirable that no
injustice be done in this matter, and to
this end all parties who saw the comet
during the week ending June 25th, or
previously, will please forward their
claims without delay to Prof. Swift, Di-

The country cannot contemplate the
possibility that it may be robbed of the
services of its brave, high-minded and
tender-hearted President. 1t has never
for moment abandoned hope. With
reverent trust in the eternal righteous
ness of things, it has confidence that he
will be victorious in his struggle with
death. and will live to bear the burdens
the people have placed upon him and to
administer the Government to the end
Of his term with the frmness and justice
he has thus far displayed.-Nea0 York

The ordinary expenditures of the
government the past fiscal year were
S8,000,000 in excess of the preceding
year. yet the aggregate expenditures
show reduction of 4,O0O,O 900 in favor
of the closing year owing to saving of
100000 in the annual interest
charge. The appropriations for the
coming year aggregate $l97, 100000.
The appropriation for pensions, which
equals two-ffths of the entire amount
appropriated. will not suffice to meet
the demands. 1t is probable the pen
sion charges in the next two fiscal years
will exceed the interest on the public
debt. Secretary Sherman estimated the
receipts of the customs for the past year
at $3.50, 100000, and that amount was
reached June %. The receipts of the
internal revenue exceeded his estimate
by 100000, the expenditure account
of the civil and miscellaneous exceeded
the estimate by $4,000. 600. The army
expenses were 100000 less than the
estimate. The navy expenditures were
100000 more; pensions $4,000
more.

THE ALBANY MIDDLE.

ALBANY, July 6. The conference of
Republicans regarding the Senatorship.
tonight, was attended by 81 of the 1O6
Republican members. The call was
signed by 60 Republicans, but three
members were unexpectedly called home.
Large as was the attendance, it was
thought to be good policy to adjourn till
tomorrow without doing anything.
The object of this was to secure the
attendance, if possible. to the conference
of some of Mr.. Conkling's supporters.
1t is impossible to elect Senators with
out the aid of some of them. It is
thought that by offering either the
Crowley men or Cornell men one of the
Scholarships, this aid will be secured.
The conference was distinguished for
several speeches. in which the willing
ness of the speakers to accept any can
didates, even Conkling. nominated IN
either conference or caucus, was strik-
ingly shown. Senator Schroeder SAID
that he thought the only practical
course was to call regular caucus.
The Conkling men, he said, objected to
the terms of the call. They might per-
haps be induced to attend a caucus
Senators Woodin and Robertson thought
it injudicious tonight to call cuucus

Notwithstanding the cry of hard
times in England, the tide of pleasure
was never higher in London than during
the present season. The theatres are
doing such business as they have rarely
done before. Sarah Bernhardt is recelv-
ing new honors nightly, the German
Company is an immense success, balls
and parties are past counting, and the
ladies declare that there never was such
season. Not even last season, with its
lavish expenditure on flowers. its rose
balls, its thousands of pounds spent on
single entertainments, can rival the
abundance and rush of wild entertain
ments which are being provided just
now.

five minutes after the president was
shot he was much closer to the door of
death than he has ever been since. The
pallor in his face was greatly beyond

one who then looked at him could have
the least idea but that dissolution was

When political assassination is toll
Grated anywhere within our borders, no
prophet can foretell who may be its
victim. The conditions under which it
bears its fruit in the rice fields of South

a murderous spirit, bred by strong po-

GUITEAU'S "PAPERS."

District Attorney Corkhill says that
no action will be taken regarding Gui-
teau's case till the result of the presl-
dents wounds is finally determined.
Referring to the papers taken from
Guiteau, Col. Corkhill is reported to
have said: "These papers are not so
very important. The only very impor-
tant thing | have is full, detailed his
terry of the crime, from its inception to
tits elimination, which, | believe, is
correct. That in due time will be Civ
en- to the public. l will say in addi-
ton that think it exceedingly cruel,
considering the fevered state of the
public mind on this subject and the
horror with which every man regards
the assassin. that any mans name
should be mentioned in connection with
him. He is an egotistical, presuming,
dishonest man, attempting to borrow
money Of people by claiming acquaint-
ance with persons whom he only knew
by the fact of his going to them and
speaking to them; speaking of persons
as his friends whom he had no acquaint-
ance with at all, and attempting to OBJ
tain money by representing himself as
man of great political influence both
here and in New York. To mention
the names Of these citizens in connec-
with this man at this time is improper
and unjust. While everybody who has
known anything about this man at all
has been perfectly willing to detail to
me his entire relations with Guiteau,
still there is scarcely one of them but
had requested that his name be kept
from the public.
The statement to which l refer is a
detailed statement of the crime, why it
was done, when it was done and Just
y
how it was done, given to me by the
prisoner himself after | had told him
certain facts that l had obtained. |
then got from him what believe is a
correct statement. He was so solicitous
about its being correct, that he even
sent messenger to me to return to the
Jail, as he wanted to say something
which had escaped his memory. He
was afraid | would learn it somewhere
else, and then think he had concealed
something from me. There is necessa
rily and very properly great anxiety
on the part of everybody to learn the
minutest detail in connection with the
commission of this crime. l am me
