disrupted on this question that the stall
warts cannot by it be placed in the
light of boilers, while they too had a
conference Friday night, subsequent to
the half-breed caucus, and decided to
stand by Conkling and Crowley. The
half-breeds claim that some members
who have been voting for Conkling will
vote for their candidates, now that they
are united, and that they will thus be
able to elect them; but to man up Il
tree it looks as though the end were
no nearer than heretofore; in fact that
this Legislature will fail to elect, and
that the Democrats may yet have a
chance to fill the places made vacant
by the resignation of Conkling and
Platt.-News.

President Garfield.

The excitement caused all over the
world at the first announcement of the
attempted assassination Of President
Garfield, by the blood-thirsty villain,
Guiteau, has, at this writing, somewhat
subsidized, but the feeling against the
would-be assassin and all his accom-
plices, if any there be, has not abated
in the slightest degree, and neither
should it.
Although the people entertain feel
ing of profound sorrow and regret at
the occurrence Of such an atrocious
deed, yet there is general rejoicing
over the prospects of the recovery of
President Garfield. The President has
gradually shown improving SYMPTOMS
ever since the dastardly deed was COM
mitted, and it is now that the people
generally entertain hopes of speedy
recovery. On Saturday last Senator
w. B. Allison, from Iowa, was inter-
viewed in New York, when he said :
Il left Washington yesterday and can
say to you that the opinion of the Cab
met officers, attending physicians, and
all those who have access to the Pres
ident, is that he will recover. Unfor-
seen symptoms may arise, but the uni
versal belief is that the crissis passed"
Words of sympathy have been sent
to Washington from every quarter OF
the globe, and the prospects Of the
Presidents recovering from the inju-
ries sends JOY to the hearts of mighty
people.

Let us see, some sixteen years age
last April, j. Wilkes Booth assassinated
President Lincoln, and Booth being q
Democrat, the crime has ever since
been flung in the teeth of the Democ-
racy as if holding that party response
BILE for the damnable deed. Will the
Republican papers of the present day
be willing to accept the same dose in
relation to Guiteau, who claims to be a
"stalwart of the stalwarts?" We hard
ly think they would be willing to
shoulder such a responsibility, yet there
is room here for them to profit by the
severe lesson taught, if they wish to
avail themselves of the opportunity.
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1881-07-13

The Chicago Inter Ocean thinks that
Guiteau's proclamation of himself as Il
stalwart does not dishonor "stalwart-
ism" any more than his proclaming
himself a lawyer, and his prating about
religion, is reflection upon the legal
profession or a disgrace to religion.
On the face of it this is not without
force. But if the legal fraternity were
to profit, and be the only persons to
profit, by Garfeld's death, or the clergy
and the churches to derive the sole adj.
vantage from it, Guiteau's champion.
ship of the law and the gospel would
have a marked significance, in thus
associating his hideous crime with the
triumph they would achieve in conse-
quence of it. While Guiteau's avow-
ing himself stalwart does not impute
responsibility to the stalwarts, it GER
tainly and inevitably makes them
odious in public estimation. This
may not be logical, but it is actual. a
church might not approve of the muir
der Of a rich man who has willed his
property to it, but if the assassin
should declare that he murdered the
man in order to put the church in poss-
ession of the property, and if it enjoyed
the benefits of the crime, the name OF
the church would, in the popular mind
always be associated with the crime.

AS yet it has not been ascertained
that Guiteau had any accomplices in
his horrible crime of the attempted
assassination of the President, although
it is hard to imagine what developments
a day may bring forth. If Guiteau is
alone in the crime, let this fact be as
certained for certainty, if possible,
and just punishment meeted out to
him. If Others are connected in the
conspiracy, all diligence will doubtless
be made to bring the culprits to a full
sense of their responsibility, and they
be made to suffer accordingly.

that she knew how to do. A physician

day. Professor Willis. Of Virginia. had
q dispatch from Ward evening before
last, in which II was said the young lady
could not live more than one or two
days longer. It would seem that there
was some trouble In getting tho Cherry
Greek doctor to 60 to Ward. as the scrip
10 which the young lady was to be paid
for her services is considerably below

10 to Ward to see the young lady on be.
