Gently been on an extended trip, engaged in
transferring ZOO Indians from Keogh to

TUESDAY MORNING. JULY S, 1881.
SHOCKING GRIME.


The announcement. by telegram, on Sat-
urday, of the attempted assassination of
President Garfield, on that morning, at the
Baltimore and Potomac depot in Washing
ton, at once created mingled feeling of
horror and detestation at the crime among
our people of all classes. That the chief
magistrate of the Republic should thus be
struck down by the hand of an assassin, was
just cause for such feelings, aud we are sure
that there can be no patriotic citizen in this
broad land of ours who will fail to condemn
the act as one of tho most atrocious and
heinous character. The assassin has been
placed in custody, and We hope for the good
name of the country, and in the interests of
law and order. that he will be allowed fair
and impartial trial. and the majesty of the
law be yindioated to its fullest extent &C,
eording to his deserts. That the President
may recover is the united prayer of the
people of the entire country, Blu. the latest
telegram from Washington forbids such
hope. May an all>wiss Providence work
good out of the evil that portends, is our
sincere and honest petition.

To the White House:
"The Presidents tragic death was a sad

party and save the republic Life is a flimsv
dream, and it matters little whom one GOES
human life is of small value. During the
war thousands of brave boys went down
without tear. 1 presume the President
was Christian, and he will be happier in

Secretary of State Blaine, drove up to the

and sat in their carriage near the door. The
President asked an officer how much time

"About ten minutes, ysur honor"
The President, after osnversing minute
or two longer, got out of tho carriage, and,
with Secretary Blaine, walked slowly up the
steps into the depot. Ofiicsr Kearney states

What Malone viii Endeavor to Show.

General Malone has prepsred resolution,
to be introduced by himself in the Senate
and by one of the Readiusters in the House,
calling upon the Finance and Ways and
Means committees respectively, to investi.
gate the subject of the debts of Southern
States, The avowed purpose of the resolu-
ton will be to refute the charge OF the Re
adjuster attempt to repudiate the Virginia
debt, and this singular proposition is to be
established, Malone hopes, by showing that
the financial affairs of other Southern
States have been managed reprehensibly
This will, Of course, bring the whole ques-
ton Of Southern debts to the attention Of
Congress and tend to keep Malone
prominently in public and furnish him y
pretext for allying himself in name as he
has in fact with the Republicans for the
future. In view of this consideration the
composition of the subcommittee having
the investigation directly under control
may be relied upon to be such as Malone
himself would choose for that purpose

The object, as the name indicates, is a CO.
operation of people for the advantageous
purchase Of groceries, provisions and other
necessities of life. Any person may be-
come member on hespayment OF an en-
trance fee of twenty-five cents and the pur-
chase of shares of stock in amounts not less
five dollars nor more than two hundred.
Shares may be paid for in advance or by
installmonts of not less than twenty-five
cents per month.
HOW THE BUSINESS Is CONDUCTED.
All shares except the first five are with
drawable at the option of the holder the
unwithdrawable shares being regarded
as the security of the society, There are
to-day over 3, 500 shares of unwithdrawable
stock, which, with the reserve and contin-
gent funds, forms a safeguard for any possi-
Bic emergency Interest at the rate of six
per cent. per annum is given on all capital
shares. , >,
The manner .ot dong business IL
throughout the principal cities OF
England. The society buys exclusively
for cash, thereby receiving all the advan-
tage possible to . cash buyer. II sells for
cash, thus avoiding the practice of making
up on the cash buyers what is lost on those
who buy on credit. At the time purchase
is made check representing the amount
of money expended is given the customer.
At the end of every quarter these checks
are brought to the society by the members
as n means of showing the amount of
money cNpendCd in purchases during that
time, An account Of stock is also taken to
ascertain the amount of business done and
60 determine the standing of the society.
Then after paying for rent OF stores, wages
of employees interest ON members claims
and other expenses, the net profits OF the
business for the quarter are divided among
the members according to the amount
of monty spent by them in purchas es.
"For instance said the Secretary yester-
day, "if the net profits of this quarter
amount to one thousand dollars and the
checks brought in by members amount TO
twenty thousand dollars, we would be able
to pay five per cent on every dollar spent
the man who purchased goods to the
extent of one dollar receiving fiye cents and
the man who spent one hundred dollars re-
ceiving five dollars. The dividend is de-
olared quarterly and Is payable In cash.
The dividends paid last quarter amounted
to 81, 2i626."
THE ECONOMY or THE soHkhB
The members of the society now number
01S. OF this number 50 were added during
the present quarter, with 20 more expected
at the next meeting. The society does not
pretend to greatly undersell the regular
merchants, but rather seeks to
furnish q better article for the same
money. The fixed prices, however are q
trifle below the average rates. The
neighboring merchants have begun to COM
plain said the Secretary they say we
are taking away their trade more and more
every day. You see, the working people
