The Assassination of the Presi-
ident.

The possible recovery Of the President
Ia no wise affects the magnitude of the
crime which has shocked and wounded
tive American Union. The murder of
Lincoln was the last cbulition of the
war passion. The assassination of Mr..
Garfield was an electric Outburst in
calm summer sky. The kindly and be-
nignant administration of Garfield had
made all people his friends. lie had be-
come morally no less than legally the
President of the whole Union, and to-
day the prayers of the entire Southern
people, no less than those of the North,
go up to the God of Nations that his life
may be spared. A blow at the Presi-
dent Is u blow to every house
hold In the United States. 1t is a
sad reflection that one dead-bcat
one crazy individual, can make n ma
ton mourn. Let us hope that this is the
work Of II mailman. There are those
who think there has been foul conspi-
racy to change the administration, that
murderer might dictate President fora
virtu0us people, but we do not yet share
that belief. This morning the President
Is reported better, though at late hour
last night his situation was exceedingly
alarming. He has passed the shock of
the blows that fcllcd his robust person;
he has passed the danger OF hcmorrhage.
The fact thathc has entered on the fourth
day, with abated symptoms, gives reas-
enable hope that the danger Of indam-
nation is at least greatly lcsscncd.
But whether he shall die or recover,
the painful realization Is revived that
An eagle towering in his pride of place
May, by mouslng owl, be hawkcd at
and killed.

Injury to Hon. r. r Butler.

For several days there have been rumors
that Judge Butler had been killed near

The Credit System.

The stripgency Of the times
which is likely to be hard upon
the farmers another year does
not arise so much from the short
crop as from the system of trade
which has prevailed since the
war. We refer to the credit
system. Tho system OF the
farmer devoting himself almost
exclusively to the production of
cotton, and buying his supplies
from the merchants on a credit.
This system is, We believe, the
cause Of the present hard times,
and if continued will ultimately
ruin both merchant and farmer.
The farmer can, in all ordinary
years, produce his meat and
bread cheaper than be can buy
lit from his merchant. Ii the
farmer pursues the system OF
procuring bis meat and bread
from his merchant, at credit
prices-and when we speak of
credit prices We do not mean to
censufe the merchants, for they
have to protect themselves-but
as long as the farmers persist in
this system it takes about all
they can make in a good crop
year to pay the merchant his sup.
ply account. Often they do not
do it when the crop is good. This
being the case when the season
is favorable for the production
of course when there is any con
siderable falling off in the yielo
of cotton, the planters are lef
largely in debt to the merchant
II our farmers wish to prosper
they must either raise. their owl
bread and meat-or contrive Il
get it without going in debt fol
tor they will always he poo
and times will not make haste tt
i grow easy. It would be bette
for the merchant and better fo

} was abolished. Il. might bea
hard upon the farmer for thu
first year, but after that the,
would prosper and live easie
) than they ever have done unde

Why Immigration Shuns the South.

The ST. Louis Republican thus
defines the two chief causes for
the lack of immigration to the
South.
First, the existence Of the ne
gro population in the South; sec.
ond, widespread misrepresenta-
ton and false information as to
the social and political condition
Of that section"
A large negro population in
Texas and Arkansas does not
deter white immigrants from
settling everywhere in those
States. "False information about
the social and political condi-
TONS may have had something
to do with prevailing immigration
bat the chief cause for the immi.
grant stunning the South is a
lack Of information concerning
the facilities for obtaining cheap
lands. Cheap land is the attrac.
tion Of the West. Cheap land
takes the immigrant to Arkansas
and Texas. And cheap land will

southern States, when he cor
