News of the shooting reached the political
headquarters simultaneously with the report
that the President was dead. Amid the ut
most excitement the story passed from
mouth to mouth. 1t was listened to, at
first, with incredulity, but as fresh
confirmation of the rumor arrived
here and indignation took its place, a total
suspension of business in the departments
followed. When a later dispatch was re-
ceived announcing that President Garfield
was not mortally wounded, the shout of
God be thanked" went up from every
side, and the sudden revulsion of feelings
made more than one eye moist. From all
sides was heard. one expression eff Presi-

FIRST { DITTO N.
THE ASSASSINATION OF THE PRESl-
DENT.
11.s0 P. M.


As we write, the life of the Presi-
dent of the United States seems to
be ebbing away. He fell yesterday,
the victim of an assassins pistol.
The particulars appear IN cur full
telegfaphic news from Washington.
There is at this hour-6:30 p. m
little hope of bis recovery.
When the intelligence was first
received, everybody was dumb found
ed. What, lit was asked, " could
be the instigating cause for so terri
BILE deed?' 'sWhat is there in
James A. Garfelds career that
would mark him as the victim of an
assassin ?",, In a flash, quick as
thought, theories ran through. men s
minds, some of which found express
sion, others perhaps never uttered.
Some absurd, others unkind to the
living. Men gathered In groups in
their places of business, on the street
corners, and in crowds about news
paper and telegraph Offices, impa-
tiently waiting for particulars. The
details began to arrive and the eager
throng, with beating hearts and
bated breath, listened to their read
ing. While there were very few
who believed, from the beCsnning,
that the motive which prompted the
cruel deed was of political nature,
vet it could be seen that there was
sense of relief when it became
known certainly that such was not
the case.
Then the bulletins, as they ar
rived later, were eagerly scanned.
At first the news that the wounds
were not necessarily fatal gave
some hope. The brave, manly dis
patch dictated by the President to
his wife at Long Branch was read
with intense interest, and tears
trickled down the cheeks of strong
men. AS the news came in later of
the Presidents unfavorable condi-
ton, hope gave way again, and sin-
cere grief was depicted on every
countenance, and all prepared for
the worst. Now it appears as if
there is nothing upon which to base
the slightest hope.
Up, ma dispatch received from
Washington strongly intimates that
the wretch who shot the President
was carrying out a pre- arranged plos,
add that he had an accomplice. If
the statement about his procur>
ing the services of q hackman
to drive him in the direction of
the Congressional cemetery be
true, it upsets the story of his
lunacy, and shows that there must
have been method in his madness,
But in the great excitement which
prevails everywhere, all statemen is
of this character must be received
with a lowanc-.
Mrs. Garfield has just arrived, and
was conducted Immediately to b er
husband. the Nation sympathizes
deeply with her in her great afiic :
ton.
$50 p. m-The news we are now
receiving from all over the country
shows that there is one deep univer-
sal sorrow, mingled with ind en- alton
ouer the atrocious act. One united
voice from every section goes up
condemning the assassin, and one
devout prayer for the recovery of the
President.
