His Condition Still Regarded as Very Favorable.
TO LOWELL.
ELBERoN, Sept. 14.-There Is an increase
this evening in the Presidents temperature,
pulse, and respiration, but It is slight and
does not necessarily indicate that the condi-
ton Of the blood is producing any new com
plications. The trouble in the right lung is
not increasing and Is causing him less annoy
ance. He has taken adequate nourishment
and his sleep hus been natural and refresh
lug. He has gained nothing, but has proba-
bly, lost nothing during the day.

LONG BRANCH, Sept. 15.-With the ex-
ception Of the high temperature ard pulse

dents case is conceded to be as favorable rs
The doctors said the high tenn.

JUDGE GOODWIN, In the Salt Lake
Tribune, In speaking of the admission
Of California to the Union, says that
then was the equilibrium between the
Free and Slave States lost, and that It
was never regained. "The real significance
OF CALIFORNIA; admission did not rest on the
mere act Of admission. There was some
thing far deeper. The fact that We refer to
10 that almost every Southern-born man In
California voted against admitting the State
~ slave State. They were ardent In their
love OF the South; they were ready ut any
moment, In argument, TO defend the institu-
Tons OF the South, but when the direct
proposition was made to them, to plant or
not to plant slavery over . great Empire In
the West, the sense OF justice within them
revealed itsel., and on their secret ballots
they wrote: Let the State be free.' When
the vote was counted, Mr.. Calhoun saw that
the sceptre had passed from the South, and
nothing but secession would again restore Il.
There, In . great State on the Pacific, the
men from :he South had turned around and
delivered against the South . staggering
blow. Then the Southern leaders really be-
gan 10 clear their decks for action" ..f

IL he could read some of the Territorial
papers just now, Mscaulsy's prophetic New
Zealander would be puzzled to know what
code Of ethics governed the American people
In their dealings with the Indians. At one
time he would read that the Indian had no
right TO any more land than he could cult
Vate and that he must quit depending on the
buffalo for his food and raiment. After the
Indian has been moved of the New Zea-
lander would read that he must not be al
lowed TO come back, for the stock men
wanted all the country, although, apparently,
they had no better title than the Indian, and
each stock man wanted much more land
than he could "cultivste." But then that
famous New Zeatsnder will probably be q
believer in the doctrine Of "the survival of
the httest," and that whatever happens to be,
lie all right.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. - Yesterdays
Maine election reports give the Republican,
another member Of the House, which. not
counting four vacancies In New York, stands:
Republicans, 142; Democrats, 1873; Green
hackers, O; Independent Republican, Hyatt
Smith, Of Brooklyn. II the Republicans
elect three out Of the four in New York.
they will have just enough to organize the
House. II the Democrats should elect two
members, Is they claim they can, the Re-
publicans will need the help of Smith TO or
ganize the House. II is claimed he will act
with them. Five Of the Greenbackers were
formerly Republicans, and will probably act
with that party Is against the Democrats.
They are: BRUNEI, Of Pennsylvania, and
Rice, Hazeltine, Ford and Burroughs. OF
Missouri. Jones, Of Texas, another Green
hacker, though formerly Democrat, Is now
an opponent Of that party, and would be
likely TO vote against 1t. Lsdd
and Murch, of Maine, and also
Musgrove, Of Pennsylvania, will no
doubt vote with the Democrats on the or
ganization. The chances are favorable TO
Republican organization, but the vote il
likely to be 30 close that sudden death or
serious illness might upset all calculations. |

OMAHA, Sept. 3.-The ten-mile running
race at Council Bluffs this afternoon between
Mrs. Burke, Of Omaha, and Miss Lizzie Pin
neo, Of Colorado, for a purse of 81 500, was
won by Mrs. Burke in twenty-one minutes
and fortv-nine seconds--the fastest time on
record. Each rode five horses, changing
every mile. Miss Pinneo's time was
twenty-three minutes and forty seconds.
Miss Minnie Pinneo, who was the lady
challenged by Mrs. Burke, could not ride,
owing to alleged Ill health, and her sister
was substituted. Mrs. Burke, while being a
thorough and intrepid rider, had the best
horses. She has already several engage
ments, and challenges any woman in. Amer
lea to ride her ten or twenty miles.

THE AvENGER.
ouiteau Fired at by a Sergeant Of Il

outeau Fired at by a Sergeant Of the Arm,
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1l.-Sergeant Mason
of Battery B, Second Artillery, when reliev
ing the guard of the Jail here this afternoon
shot at Guiteau through the window Of hi
cell and came pear killing him. The bal
grazed his head and was imbedded in the eel
wall. Mason was promptly arrested, takeI
to the arsenal, and incarcerated.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12-Sergeant Mason
who shot at Guiteau, is still imprisoned. 1t
is not believed he was drunk or wild from
drugs. Although no plot has been discovered
among the guards to kill Guiteau, it is known
that they are deeply hostile towards him
The officers believe Guiteau led and was not
at the cell window but reclining when fired
at. Guiteau exhibited an agony of fear for
some time after the shooting. He has been
removed to another cell.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Guiteau told two
different stories about his position when Ser
geant Mason fired into his cell. At first and
when under excitement he said he was lying
on the bed when the shot was fired. Suisse
quently he said he was standing at the win
dow. 1t is believed the first statement is
true and that he conceived the second idea
because it would give him more notoriety if
he made it appear that he had very narrow
escape.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-Sergeant Mason,
in an interview, said: When the attempt at
assassination of the President was made by
the scoundrel first heard Of 1t in Texas and
secretly resolved If l was put on in position
or had all opportunity to kill the assassin
would. Sunday morning loaded my mus
ket, knowing that l was going on duty, with
the intention of shooting him the first chance
l got. When l arrived at the Jail walked
at once to where could get range of his |
window and fired. am perfectly sane and |
If had killed him would be willing to re-
main in prison the remainder of my life. If
restored to duty will shoot him as soon as l |
get chance"
GEN. SHERMAN ON THE SHOOTING.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Gen. Sherman
says, regarding Mason's shot at Guiteau
The law must take its course. The act was
excessively criminal coming from a soldier
md guard, and everything should be done
o prevent the lowering of our dignity by a
es Of well-meaning but misguided people.
Had the shooting been done by some insane
uffian who knows no other law than that of
Judge Lynch there might have been some
Excuse for 1t, but emanatlng as it did from
he rank and file of the United States army
think it deserves the severest punishment.
We can't afford to set bad example at Wash
ngton in matter of this kind, If we are
yer to expect an end to the lawlessness pre-
ailing In some districts In the South and
Vest, we must begin by showing a good ex-
mple ourselves. 1t won't do to decry those
Dugh, uncouth hunters, trappers, and squat
'rs of the West or even Colorado mob, If
cts like that which occurred yesterday are
be tolerated in the capital of the country.
shall see to it that this matter is properly {
fled to the bottom, and that the guilty ones
0 not escape punishment.

sounds rather vain for man to say that he
could be elected to an Office when he did not
have friends enough to secure even the NOM

had Mr.. Hendricks been less selfish, the
Democratic ticket last year would have been
headed by ex-senator Mcdonald, of Indiana,
and that might have given the Republicans a
harder fight, 10 say the least. Mr.. Hendricks,
we fear, Is growing into his dotage.

A Lewiston, l. T., dispatch of Septem Der
18th says: Maj. Truax and party, who went
out to examine the approaches to Lo Lo pass
OF the Bitter Root mountains for railroad
purposes, arrived here last night and reports
the route up the Lo Lo fork of Clearwater
to within fifteen miles of the summit AZ good
the maximum grade at no point exceeding
NIFTY feet per mile, and the maximum grade
at no point of the last fifteen miles will ex-
coed 100 feet per mile, and Maj. Truax be-
ieves this can be reduced to seventy-five or
eighty feet. From the summit east to Bitter
Root river there is an easy grade. Another
party is viewing out another pass to the
south of this that Is claimed to be several
hundred feet lower, called Skalkaho pass.
The examination by Maj. Truax has dispeiled
the theory of the Northern Pacific surveyor
who asserted that no railroad pass existed
south of the Pen TOreille. This will
shorten the railroad line from Ainsworth
east to Missoula over 100 miles.
