THE News has never sympathiZed
with Mr.. Conkling in his war upon the
administration, and has not hesitated to
deprecate the antagonism of the Stall
warts to President Garfield and his judi
eious policy since assuming the Office of
chief executive. We believe that the
factional strife engendered By the action
of the ex-senator from New York has
proved largely detrimental to The gen.
eral interests Of the Republican party,
and that AEessrs, Conkling and
Plat committed serious and culpable
blunder when they resigned their seats
in the Senate. But. on the osher hand,
we desire TO say thai. in our Judgment.
nothing could hs more unjust than The
base insinuations of certain Journals 70
the effect that the crime Of Guittear was
aided by the etalwarts. OF is now con-
doned BY any responsible man ranking
himself with that faction. 1t Is simply
infamous to strive to implicate such men
as General Arthur and ex- Senators Oonk-
ling and Piatt in the crime of aSsassina-
ton with the alleged motive of succeeding
to power, and it is highly gratifying TO
note the unanimity with which the Re
publican press, irrespective of its afiilia-
tions in the Garfield Conkling fight, has
resented the slanderous imputations of
the Louisville CourierJournal in this
matter u
We have reason to believe that no man
in the country would more seriously
mourn the death OF President Garfield
than Mr.. Arthur, and we doubt If the
chief executive has a more sincere we'll
wisher, ON his bed of languishing. than
the Vice President. Il is certainly nc
time for recrimihation, and 50 nobly
have the people borne themselves in this
fierce ordeal that there is no room tc
doubt the patriotism of any citizen who
has ever enjoyed even the smallest meas
urc of public confidence. The hearts o.
the American people at this time know
but one feeling, and that is sense OI
deep anxiety for the head of the nation

The people are not prepared to accept
the plea of emotional insanity in the case
of Guitteau, the would-be assassin of
President Garfield. The method with
which he perfected the plans for his
hellish deed show anything but a dIsor-
dered mind, and all the antecedcnts of
the criminal, as far as known, show him
to be man whose inherent debravity
renders him dangerous foe TO the peace
OF society. He is q fair representative Of
an element whose growth may well be
regarded as u menace to the perpetuity
of American institutions, and the securi-
ty, of the government demands that his
crime meet with such punishment as
shall prove wholesome warning 10
others who may share his incendiary
spirit. ,stt. Etf
There should be no temporizing in
this case. 1t is well enough at al times
to maintain the majesty of the law and
to discourage mob violence in all OF its
forms as n dangerous precedent. But
the American people will be swift TO re-
sent the employment of any quibbles or
technicalities for the protection OF an
assassin who can only atone for his
fiendish deed by the death penalty, and
no line of defense should save Guitteau
from execution at the earliest moment
consistent with the law providing for the
punishment of such as deliberately take
the lives of their fellow-creatures.

OVER THE STATE.

The farmers of NeOsho county are

the sowing of wheat for a season, as q
means of getting rid of the chinch-bug.

MEMORABLE DAY.

The memory of Fourth of July. 1881,
will never perish from the heart OF
the American people, and the sincere
prayer of every patriotic citizen is that

their beloved President than the common
spirit of decorum which everywhere
characterized this anniversary. Even

with the deep sOlemnity of the possible
