DEATH OF run PREsIDENr.


As will be seen by the particulars
elsewhere published, Gen Garfield died
n, Long Branch, on Monday night, at
,,s eleven weeks Of suffering which be
bore with heroic frmncss.
The long illness Of Gen. Garfield, the
strong eight which his powerful physique
enabled him to make against the slow
Tut steady advance Of death, had in
great measure prepared the people for
tie end, which though all knew must
be close at hand, yet at lat came some
what suldenly Had the death Of
ecu Garfield occurred Immediately or
in a short time after the shooting by
Guitcau, there is no telling what might
have been the result. As for the mis-
erablo cause Of all this trouble it is al
most certain thnt despite the utmost Of
forts Of the authorities for his protection
his life would speedily have been tor
tured out Of him by an infuriated aud
outraged people. This, beyond the dis
grace, which it would have brought upon
us as a lava abiding people, would have
boon small matter in it, consequences
The life Of Guiteau was forfeited and so
far as consequences. beyond reproaob,
are concerned, il would have mattercd
little whether that forfeiture had been
cxnctcd by the slow but orderly proceed
ings Of the Court OF whether ii had
been exacted BY the Steiner, promptcr,
but more lawless methods Of Judge
Lynch
But m other respects the result of tho /
sudden death of Gen Garfield might
have been far reaching and most tIisas-
trous in its results and possibly for the
time might have prccipilatcd a condi-
ton Of anarchy upon the country, which
nothing, but the united and patriotic
efforts of all good citizens could have
prevented being attended with serious, if
not dangerous results to our institutions
1t is NOT to be denied that the excla-
nations Of the assassin and other cir
cumstances pointed to a moral if not
direct responsibility for the crime in
Gen. Arthur and the coterie of his i'm
mediate friends, who together with him.
we're to be the bcnefciaries Of the muir
der of the President. Ia the then excited
condition of the public mind, if Gen.
Garfield had died it is very questionable |
whether Gen Arthur would ever have .
been President; the same method which |
removed the one would have been avail |
bic in the hands of rtndmcn for the re-
lnoval of the other
But happily all these dangers have |
passed; the sober second thought of the
people has returned standing and
watching beside the sick bed Of the suf-
fering and dying President vengeful
feelings have passed away, and the spir-
it Of patriotism has been renewed with
in us, until looking with resignation
upon the great loss we have sustained
In the death of the chosen chief magis-
tEate of the nation, we are thankh Gtthat
we live in country whose institutions
will sustain no jar or friction growing
out of the death of one and tue accession
of another President but the affairs Of
the public will move on in the usual or
derby and harmonious course.
