XiIiard's Party Travelling.

OMAHA, Sept. pa distinguished party
of railroad magnates and capitalists interest
ed in the Northern Pacific, passed through
Omaha on Wednesday, en- route to San Fran
cisco and Oregon. They occupied the Pull
man hotel car Beige" and Pullman's pri-
vate car. The party was composed OF Henry
Willard, President of the Northern Pacific
WIN. Lloyd Garrison, Jr., his brother-in-law;
c. A. Spafford, Wizards secretary; Herr
Hergoza, secretary Of state and private coun-
selor of Germany, being second In rank to
Bismarck; Herr Enthausen, of London, who
comes OH large merchandising business in
Calcutta; Commander III. III. Gorringe. U.
S. Navy, who brought the Egyptian obeiisk'
" Cleopatra's Needle" to New York; Junius
Henri Browne, the well-known correspond
ent and author; Hon. George A. Preesburg,
of Minnesota H.J. Winner, formerly United
States Consul In Germany n. p. Hallowell
and Charles Fairchild, Of Boston; A. L..
Stokes and VIM. NJ. Bales, Of Chicago Gen.
II. L. Bennett, G. f. McKine, J. @. Ander-
son, and I'll. FL. Findall, of New York. The
above party represents an immense amount
of capital to be invested In the Northern Pa
cific. A new syndicate has been formed,
called the Oregon Trans-C Continental Com
pany. Seven hundred and sixty-eight miles
of the Northern Pacific having been COM
pleted, it is intended to build thousand
miles more ON the main line and branches
within a year. A large amount of German
capital is invested in the enterprise.

Speculation.

CLEVELAND, September pa special to
the Commercial says: There has been q good
deal Of excitement among the politicians
here to-day over q remark made by Mrs.
Blaine last night that her husband would not
stay In the Cabinet but a few days longer,
and that he preferred to leave now rather
than walt few months and then be turned
out. The opinion among the most promi-
neRt politicians here is that the next ten days
will see ut least two or three vacant Cabinet
positions. The Commercials Washington
special also says: Ex-Secretary Boutwell, Ia
more likely to succeed Window If that gen.
tleman goes ont than Morgan. From what
can learn Mr.. Window Is not in love with the
Treasury Department. Some of his friends
intimate that he has found himself handi-
capped by John Sherman's henchmen. My
impression Is that Judge Hunt, Lincoln, aud
probably MacVeagh will remain, aud that
the change In the Office of Secretary of State
will no. involve change In the Postmaster
Generalship. There is no disposition, so far
IS am able to learn, to disturb Collector
Robertson; but that some change will be
made in other New York appointments
have not the least doubt. There are intima-
tions that General Graham and Mr.. Burt will
be Informed before q month that their ser
vices are no longer needed. aer

Political Gossip.

WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 2S.-Judge Fol-
gers name has been frequently mentioned in
cabinet speculations during the last three
DAYS. It Is remembered he was strongly
backed by Conkling for the position when
Garfield came in. The fact that he had q
claim of $4,000 for percentage on sale Of
internal revenue stamps while he was assist
ant treasurer In New York was urged against
his appointment and prevailed. Had this
claim not stood in the way, 1t is ascertained
Garfield had determined to appoint him, and
thus all trouble between the New York Sem
ator and the administration would have been
avoided. The Court Of Claims decided
against Folger's claim.
Boutwell,, of Massachusetts,, who had an
interview yesterday with the President, re-
turned home to-day. In conversation he adj
mitted he had been summoned here by tele-
graph for consultation by the President, but
declined to state the subject discussed. That
1t referred either to his appointment to a
place In the new Cabinet or to the Supreme
Bench vacancy is n general assertion. 1t is
OH the cards that he will take Hunts place
as Secretary of the Navy.
Some Southern politicians of more notori-
ETY. than prominence visited the President to
suggest the name of Rev. w. Fl. Hicks for
Postmaster General. Hicks is now preach
ing in DIR. Sutherland's church in this city.
At the close Of the war he preached for
time in Charleston, and subsequently in Sa-
vannah and Macon, and latterly in Jackson
vile, Florida, always appearing in politics
where opportunity offered. lie was Grant
delegate to the Chicago convention. aud is
possessed of fine oratorical powers.
General Raum, who has been mentioned
for Secretary of War should Lincoln retire,
declines l.. be considered a candidate. He Is
we'll satisfied with his present important post
and does not believe Lincoln will retire.

LONDON, Sept. 23.-The Lancet, discussing
the case of Gen. Garfield, says the bullet did
not wound any vital part in its path, and had
the serious wound 1t made closed up, all
would have been we'll; but the wound did
not heal because Its walls were bruised and
so injured that primary union was impossi-
BILE. The retention of pent up and putrid
matter in the wound almost insured the
absorption of septic poison and death. 1t
may be regarded as an open question how
far successful an attempt to treat the wound
as septic might have been. 1t would he I'M
just TO blame the surgeons. 1t Is matter
for congratulation that they were not led
away by vain desire to extract the bullet,
which had done no harm since it had reached
its resting place, near the pancreas, and Its
extraction, per Sc, would not have influenced
at all the subsequent course of the case.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.--The late Presi-
dents Physicians are disposed to treat the
criticisms of the autopsy with contempt, and
fortify their account Of the autopsy by de-
failing the minutest particulars. Prominent
physicians here agree that the wound was
necessarily mortal. The diagnosis of the
case was fully warranted by the appearances,
and the fact that they kept the patient alive
seventy-nine days Is q most remarkable tri-
umph Of medical skill. Prof. Lamb and
Barnes and Woodward are preparing state
ment which will be published by the Medical
Department of Army.
DR.. Woodward says at the present time the
physicians and surgeons Of the President
will make . joint statement, but cannot
keep run of the innumerable lies in circuia-
tion regarding the autopsy. Prof. Lamb, as
physician, was entirely unconnected with
the case and he was known OF the highes,
personal and professional character.
Gen. Swain denied that he stated the ball
was found among the bowels after their re.
moval and declines to make any statement
co ncerning the autopsy.

dispatch says that at the stockholders meet

ing was called to order, Frank f. Fowler
stated 1t was a stockholders meeting and
requested all others to retire. No one
moved, and he pointed to ex-Judge E. D.
Wheeler and James McMeichan, of San
Francisco, and Treasurer Coffin, of Carson,
and told them If they did not 60 out they
would be put out. They still remained,
and rush was made. Pistols were drawn
and fired rapidly, and s. G. Scoville, Secre-
tary, and ID. w. Batch, Of San Francisco
wounded, the physicians think fatally.

II puts sway the Bible with all its grand
teachings, that havs stood immutable and
blessed the world for centuries, and elevales
In Its stead treatise on science-science,
which proves to-day that the scientists Of
yesterday were wrong. So long as skepti-
cism and scientific religion confines itself to
. sneer, 1t Is dangerous; but when free
thinkers, skeptics, infdels and pagans as
boldly and honestly formulate their creed,
and put aside the veil from their
sanctuaries, as does "Helena,r their
work falls of Its own insufficiency,
and Is odious in its mortal idolatry.
In deriding those things in revealed religion
which to the inquiring and unconvinced seem
mysterious and hidden, skepticism has
beaten back many from the affairs of Christ,
but when ii erects Its own and invites the in
telligent world to Its shrines, the soul Of man,
resenting debasement and rising to greet the
God-given religion that teaches immortality
and salvation, turns to Christianity as one
turns to solid though perhaps arduous paths
when an abyss Of horrors confronts his heed
less and erring steps.
We have no discussion now to hold with
Helena" We are satisfied that scientific
religion has come out of the bush. We are
told what 1t offers In place Of Christianity.
We characterized Its mission rs one of grand
larceny. Perhaps that was an error of term.
1t offers the worship of a soulless, ephemeral
carcass for that Of the eternal God, and asks
the intelligence and civilization of the nine
teenth century to renounce the light OF
Christianity and SIT amid the darkness of pa
gan philosophy. Choose We between them
