The National Horror.

Never since the appalling announce
ment of the death of Abraham Lin
coin by the assassin's hand, has tie
nation been more shocked tLan by
the news which flashed over the
whole country last Saturday morn
ing. The unexpectedness of such
an event at a time when the people
were making preparations for the
great holiday. turning joy into grief
hopo into despair, soems tn havo
added to the poiSnancy of tl.e sor-
row which fell like pail upon the
community, when later in the day
the news indicated fatal termina-
ton of the injury to President Gar
field. About eight o'clock in the
evening, the dreaded announcement
came that he was dead, and all prep
alations for holiday festivity at once
ceased. Business was suspended,
the buildings draped in mourning,
while every face bore an expression
of unfeigned sorrow. An hour or
more passed. kilograms had been
prepared announcing to expected
visitors from abroad that the cele.
bration would be abandoned, when
the thrilling words came "He still
lives" Later dispatches confirmed
hope of ultimate recovery, and
once more the popular p%lss resumed
its normal beat.
Terribly humiliating to national
pride as is the thought that twice
during the short period of sixteen
years, has the assassin's bullet been
directed at the highest officer of the
Government, there is much TO con-
sole in the grand Spectacle afforded
OF the ONENESS OF the people in con-
domination of such acts. There is
no lewiston of opinion among Mr..
Garheld's supporters and HIS politi-
cal opponents on this matter. The
enormity of the crime against the
people who have placed him at the
head OF the nation, sinks all minor
points OF difference, and from the
Lakes to the Gulf and from ocean TO
ocean, there is but one sentiment re-
gariing the atrocious deed and a
united prayer for the recovery of the
stricken chief.
Still, while the heart of the masses
beats with genuine pulsation of
sorrow, we regret to observe some
indications Of an effort to turn the
event towards The advantage of party
faction. 1t is possible even to over
do pity, charitable emotion which
usually besets charity, and those
party hacks who are degraded
enough to speculate upon party
chances at such a time. and though
such means, should be classed with
the shouls which robs graves and
deal in dead mems bones.
The official dispatches regarding
the Presidents condition, up to to-
day 2 P. NJ, continue to show steady
improvement, and he may now be
considered in a fair way of recovery.
