High Tribute 60 the Vice-President-A
Warm and Hearty Approval.

NEWPORT, II. l., July 6.--Ex-Governor
Il. D. Morgan, Of New York, was called upon this
morning for the purpose of sscertsining that dis
tinguished gentleman's views upon General Ar
thurs fitness 10 hll the Executive chair In the
event of President Garfeds death.
The Governor said he would be happy
to give his views on that timely subject but for the
fact that he had said everything that was neces-
sary TO reply to the editor of q Boston paper who
had stated that he did not think General Arthur
qualified to perform the duties Of President which
he supposed would be given wide circulation
through the Associated Press. lie took occasion,
however, to say that he considered General Ar.
thur eminently qualified TO bo President Of the
United States and he had every reason to
believe that every true American would live to see
aud acknowledge the injustice which had been
done the Vice President by the press during the
past few days. From long personal acquaintance
with General Arthur he was prepared to state that
he had the most implicit confidence in his integ-
rty as man and also in his quail
fcations for the responsible duties which
would dovolve upon him in case of President Gar.
fields death. He was emphatic in his utterances
upon the subject, and gave unmlstakable evidence
to the writer that he was honest in his de-
sire to remove the calumny which, in
his opinion, had been unjustly heaped upon
man whom he had intimately known for twenty
long years, and he had desire TO keep his opin.
ion Of the man from the world Mt large.
John p. Sanborn, editor of the Newport
Mercury and speaker of the house of repre-.
sentativcs and who was delegate at the Chicago
convention, and who voted against General Arthur
when he was nominated said this noon: "I have
no doubt but that Arthur viii make good Presi-
dent, and the affairs Of the Nation will be safe In
his hands"

Gun.sho, wound. in ,hc Liver.

DR. IL. P. Stearns, who early in the war
was medical director upon the staff of General
Grant and was substantially in charge Of the
United States general hospital at Nashville, Tenn,
writes to the Hartford (Conn) Courdat as follows
As any information which may give some hope of
recovery In the Of the President will be welcome
to everybody, beg to present the following more
favorable statistics concerning wounds Of the
liver gathered from the Surgical History ofthe War
ofthe Rcbelllon;" One hundred and seventy-three
cases Of gun.shot wounds In which the liver was i'm.
plicated are on record These cases may he divided
Into two group3-the first comprising ffly-
nine which were uncompcated, the second ia
cases, all of which were more or less complicated
with injuries TO other parts, such as
LESSONS Of bloOd-vesses, hepatic ducts, stomach
diaphragm, kidneys, ribs, and vertebp. 1t ap-
pears that in twenty-five of the rst group the
result was fayorabeL c., orty.two plus per cent.
covered, while In the remainder the wounds proved
fatal. or the second group thrty-seyen recovered
e1uang thirty-two plus per cent, while seventyfour
died, aud the result was not certainly known in the
remaining three cases. IL would therefore appear
that the prospect Of recovery from wounds of the
liver, even when complicated with injuries to other
parts or organs, Is quite considerable Tho extent Of
Injury, however, In any case would be OF great i'm
portnncein in estimating the probabilities CT recovery.
This would be almost TO he larger where the shot
is fired ut short range, In the OF the President,
and It would probably bc much less where pistol Is
used Instead Of musket The primary danger from
wounds Of the liver and other abdOmenal organs arises
from shock and hemorrhage, and secondary danger
from suppuratlon, and in cases Of the liver from
hepatc absCCss.

One of fmyacquaintances, writes Mother

to-day. Said he "I once did a service for Gould
and, meeting him on the street, he said Il sup
pose you speculate little. Well, we are going to
put Wabash up three points Tomorrow I never
operate myself" said the gentleman, " but didn't
tell him so. That day at one Of the hotels, n
broker said to me: Didn't see you come out of
Gould's Office to-day?' Yes. Well, what point
did he give your Il will tell you just what he
said and you can draw your own inferences and
supply your own faith or doubt. He said: We
are going to put Wabash up three points to-mor-
row. That is good enough for me- said the
broker, and the first thing in the morning his Or
der went in for Wabash. He made 600 and
presented me with $1,000 Gould met me again a
day or two after and said You see, Wabash went
up as | told YOU YES SIR Il hope you did
something for yourself, said Gould. Well, we
are going to do the same thing for Chattanooga to-

Why All This Hue and CryY

When John Tyler became President,
he continued General Harrlson's Cablnct but
when he president Tyler vetoed the bill to re-
charter the United States Bank his entire Cabinet,
except Daniel Webster Secretary of stat resigned
in passion. Mr. Webster held on a few months
to complete the Ashburton Treaty In regard to the
northern boundary; then resigned, went to Bos-
ton, and made pitiablc excuse for not resgning
in a pet like the other members, including Francis
Granger, of this State, Postmasters General. Bos-
ton and New York cities raised $4,000 each to
enable Mr.. Webster to travel In Europe In 1S4s
General Lewis Cass was the Democratic candidate
for President. He resigned his seat in the United
States Senate as Senator for Michigan. The
Governor of the State appointed to the va
cancy Mr. Fitzgerald. General Taylor was
elected President. on the reassembling of the
Michigan Legislature General Cass was re elected
to fill the vacancy made by his own resignation.
Go to the other extreme: When Preston s. Brooks
was expelled for assault on Charles sumner, In the
United States Senate Chamber, his State immcdi-
ateIy returned him 10 the House Of Reprosenta-
tives. Henry Clay, for some cause, resigned his
scat in the United States Senate, and announced
that he did so forever. lie, after short time, be
came q candidate for the scat he had left and was
reelected by the State TO I'LL vacancy then exist
Ing in the Senate of the United States Why is all
this hue and cry against the resignation of Roscoe
ConklingY Looking to past history, he had a
right to expect election.

The Duke Of Cambridge, while at the
dinner of the London cabmen the other night re-
ceived somewhat equivOcal compliment. One
oftho cabmen, in responding to the toast of the
evening, described the joy which he felt at the
first sight Of the Duke. His Royal Highness, said
Cabby, had presence and an appearance which
had he not known who he was, would have in

sterling Republicans whose hearts are
filed with tenderest sympathy for the

who are as patriotic as any men in the

see in great national calamity nothing

advise all good citizens to shun such
