WEDNESDAY,

PRESIDENT ARTHUR ty..5
was then introduced by Secretary Blaine and
delivered the following address:
Upon this soil 100 years ago our fore
struggle for independence. There and then was
established, and as We trust made secure upon this
continent for ages yet to come. that principle 4
system. the sovereignty of the people. The re-
sentiments which for time survived the clash Of
arms have long since ceased to animate our
defeated foe that to-day We summon up
a remembrance Of those events which have MADE
holy the ground whereon we tread. Surely no such

Of sorrow and sympathy. which our national be-

enthusiasm ct it's close.

made 3 graceful response in French. he said:

Assistant Postmaster. Generals Tyner's resig-
nation. It appears that our thrifty statesman
from Northern Indiana made . tour Of star

prepared an elaborate report supported BY :
damning record of criminality. but instead OF
reporting the same to the department, he held

The Position OF President OF the
Canafa

Aside from the right of temporary
succession to the Presidency which at
taches to the Office of President of the
Senate, it has, says the ST. Louis Re
publican. no advantages that makes it
anything of a prize. The presiding
officer of the Senate is very much less Of
a power than the Speaker of the House,
and as President of the Senate he is a
nonentity except in such a peculiar con-
dition of affairs as that which gave
Arthur the balance of power in the
Senate before Garield's death. The
Speaker of the House makes all the COM
mittee appointments, but the President
of the Senate does not exercise similar
power in that body, the committees
being made up in caucus and elected
by the Senate. The Speaker OF the
House has also immense power IN the
administration of the rules, but the rules
of the Senate are simple. and the custom
is to conduct its business as far as posi-
bic without rules. Almost everything in
the Senate is done by unanimous con-
sent, and it Is rarely or never that ii
happens that it is a matter of any i'm
portance who sits in the chair, so far as
the rules are concerned. The President
of the Senate is the heir to the Presi-
dency, and in that respect he is an i'm
portant individual, but in no other,
unless the unconstitutional claim that
he, and not Congress, rules the electoral
count is conceded. That is a claim,
however, which no President of the
Senate has ever tried to enforce.

Chicago has produced champion vii
lain. A youth named Arthur B, Stern,
twenty-three years old, married girl
named Mack, twenty one years old,
spent all her money, got drunk con-
tinually and finally proposed after four
months of married bliss that both of
them should die at the same time The
young vile is said to have agreed to the
proposition rather joyfully, thinking
doubtless that her husband would be
more agreeable in a disembodied state
than in the flesh, and the two drove out
in a buggy on the prairie, near River
side. At lonely place where there is
not a house within a mile, the scoundrel
deliberately killed his wife by firing a
bullet into her brain, but on seeing the
blood ooze from the wound his courage
failed him, SO he took her handkerchief.
wiped the blood from her face, kissed
her and quietly drove back to town. He
was suspected, owned up, was arrested
and will doubtless find sheriff who is
not too squeamish to put out the miser-
able tallowdip of life that animates his
carcass.

The American Academy of Medicine
has formally adopted the resolution that
Gin the opinion of the fellows Of the
American Academy of Medicine all
seems to have been done for the illustri-
GUS patent that scientific knowledge and
practical skill could suggest to ward off
the fatal effects of the assassin's bullet. !"
This resolution was passed before the
surgeons of President Garfield issued
their final bulletin based upon the
post-uaortem examination which re-
vealed the fact that the Presidents
wound was such as to dissipste all
hope Of recovery. The academy here
referred to is the highest medical corpo-
ration in the United States, and does not
admit physicians as members, unless
they can give evidence of having re
ceived a liberal education as indicated
by college degrees. The verdict of such
a body is entitled to the unqualified re-
spect Of all physicians and all laymen.
The Presidents surgeons are criticised
for not having known the course of the
fatal bullet But no surgeon is omnis-
cient, and in the present case the sue
cessful search for the bullet on the
second day Of July would have crushed
the very hopes which the surgeons, the
country and the sufferer have happily
entertained for eighty days.

The Bridgeport Farmer says: ''The
death of President Garfield greatly COM
plicates the Republican politics Of the
future. His denomination, had he lived,
would have been a foregone conclusion,
and his defeat at the polls would have
been very difficult. His death opens the
field to large number of aspirants. AT
present, however, the chances of others
than stalwarts are few and small. In
deed, the only possibility of the nomina-
ton of an anti-stalwart rests upon the
chance that President Arthur's stalwart
administration may blunder its faction
into unpopularity. The interests of the
anti-stalwarts lie in leading the admins
tration into mistakes and exposing what
ever blunders it may make. Such astute
managers as Blaine and Sherman are not
likely to overlook these facts or to neg
lect to grasp whatever opportunities
offer. Republican politics will be lively
and interesting during the ensuing two
or three years"

cit would be, says the Wilmington
Del) Gazette Oem) zone of the strang-
est things indeed if the Democratic
members of the Senate, upon the assem-.
bling of that body, should cast their
votes for Republican for President pro
tempOre. 1t would be an act Of stultii-
cation, an act of self.condemnation, and
it is pitiful to listen to the pleadings of
the Republican press and witness their
condescension even to tears that their
party may continue to gorge itself with
the fruits of official patronage. The
Democrats have taken no hand in the
quarrel that led to the resignation Of
Messrs. Conkling and Plat; they had
done all that the new administration
could ask of them to make it successful.
They could lot ward off the assassin's
bullet. All the terrible atfliction that it
brought upon the country, with its
browning sorrow, arose from the bad
elements with which the Republican
party was made up"

While one set of witnesses in the West
Haven murder trial have conclusively
proved James Malley and Jennie Cramer
to have been at Savin Rock together on
the night before the girls body was
found, another lot are now making it
absolutely certain that James Malley was
in another place on that evening, and
that Jennie certainly was not at the
Rock. A not improbable result of the
trial may be the conclusion that the
Malleys and Jennie Cramer never met,
or, perhaps, that Jennie Cramer never
existed. The possibility of anyone
being punished for her untimely taking
off is very remote.

The subjoined report of the Joint
Committee on Finance of the General
Assembly on the offices of the Comp
troller General and Treasurer is highly
complimentary of these gentlemen, and
its references to Treasurer Speer are but
added evidences of his recognized ca
pscity:
The joint standing Committee on Finance
have examined the accounts and vouchers
of the Comptroller General and Treasurer
as required by section 1856 Of the Code, and
respectfully submit that the books of these
officers have been neatly and correctly kept,
aud their annual reports are sustained by
the condition Of the offices. The report Of
the Treasurer, showed balance In the
Treasury, October 1, 1880, $6SS, S65 A,
which amount is shown on the books, and
on the 10th OF November, 1880, ]. W. Rem
froe, the former Treasurer, turned over to
D. N. Speer, the present Treasurer, the
sum Of $685., 594 81, which amount we found
on the books, and the same agrees with the
books of the Comptroller General Of that
date. The books of the Treasurer showed
balance on September 5, 18S1-the day
your committee began its 1nvestigation-of
$751;, S84 81, which amount your committee
found in the hands of the Treasurer and
the State repositories, an ttemized account
Of which is hereunto appended.
In the opinion of your committee the
Treasurer deserves the gratitude of the
people of Georgia for his conduct In the
matter Of the States funds In the Citizens
Bank, as well also as for his efficiency and
the good management Of his office.
He found in this bank when he entered
the Office 1882, 432 75-more than half of
the whole amount of the States funds at
that time. He at once began drawing from
this bank to meet all the demands of the
State, so at the time of its suspension there
was on deposit in said bank only Sl03, rs 40,
thus, as we think, saving to the State
large sum of money. We call especial at
tention to the books Of the Comptroller
Generals Office. Said books are compre-
hensively, neatly and beautifully kept. The
system is so thorough that the condition of
any account in the Office can be ascertained
at a moments notice. Respectfully sub

The New York Times editorially de-
clares that 1.-THE discussion Of the posi-
bilities of Republican organization OF
the Senate at its special session is super
fuous, if law and precedent are of bind
ing force" 1t then repeats. what has
already been clearly shown, that the two
Senators from New York aud the one to
be chosen in Rhode Island cannot be
sworn in until a President pro tenpoTe
of the Senate has been chosen TO accept
the oath or affirmation required q them.
On the same subject the New York
World suggests that it would be grace
full act Of the members of the Republican
minority in the Senate, and would testify
their sense of the unprecedented una
nimity of public sentiment developed by
the murder of the President, if they
would for once sink partisanship in patri-
otism and vote for the Democratic can
didate for the Presidency of the.Senate. ."

The New York Herald produces long
rows Of figures to show the rapid growth
of cities in the United States, and the
craze Of young America for town life.
During the past fifty years New York
has changed from an agricultural to an
urban State. The population Of the
rural portions of the State has increased
So per cent. and of the cities 564 per
cent, or ten times as rapidly. To day,
considerably more than half the people
of 'the Empire State" reside in the cities.
Every year the tendency to move to the
cities and enjoy the pleasures Of urban
life grows and the promise is, that in the
near future, there will be nobody left in
New York outside Of the towns. AS it
Is. many agricultural counties in the
state show an actual decrease in popula-
ton during the last half century.

The people of Alaska evidently mean
to push their demands for some sort of
civil government. AS things go now,
that portion of Uncle Sans domain is
ruled by a sort of naval satrsp, and such
law as it basis mainly the personal en-
actment Of the naval officer who hap
pens to be in command at that station.
So far, the officers who have been placed
in this anomalous position have per-
formed their delicate duties wisely and
satisfactorily; but it must become more
and more difficult every year to conduct
things in this manner, and Congress
should devise some way to give the peo-
pie Of Alaska a civil government and q
code of laws of some kind.
