HAMILTON, Ont, July 1.-The Spectator this
evening has the following: The shooting of
President GARFIELD is ono Of those events for
which not only no adequate motive can be as
signed, hut hardly the senbance Of motive at
all, unless It Is shown TO be the work OF luna
tic. While assassination ia every form Is coward
ly and odous, we are permitted to think that
the Nlbillsts and Communists believe themselves
justified IN proceeding even to that length in
their efforts to oppose dcspotisn. and that Re-
sistauce to tyrants Is obedience to God even up
to the extremity of murder. Even II wc go the
length Of acknowlcdging honest fannttcism
in the murdcrcrs Of the Car, that
plea caunot bold good for this
murder Of a President, who is but the fusrru-
mcut of the peoples will In executing laws made
BY the people for the general good The peculiar
position Of political affairs in the United States
gives this event vastly greater significance than
it would otherwise have. In case OF the denth
of tho President, Vlce-Presdeut Arthur would
become President, and his accession would at
once create
A REVOLUTION IN TIE POLICY OF THE AD-
M1NisTRATloS.
Gen. Arthur was the representative OF the Stall
wart Republicans, opposed to Civil-Scrvice re-
form, aud close friend and adm1rcr Of Grant
and Conkling. In the late difference between
Garfield und the New York Senators Arthur
has been active in his support of
Conkitue and undleguised in bis opposition to
fur a moment be supposed that tho shooting was
the result Of a conspiracy alnohe the Stalwarts,
or with view to the elevation of arthur to the
Presidency Indeed, the dispatches indicate
that It was the result OF disappointment on thei
part of IN unsuccessful otliceseeker. At the
sume time. political feclsne was already strained
to the limit Of endurance. and the displacement
Of Garfield BY assassination would be an event.
the consequences OF which cannot be contain
