guished person should be confined to the
common prison fare. lie still maintains
that no one but himself Is responsible for
his attempt on the life of the President,
aud nothing 20 far has been discovered 10

lhai he had nothing whatever against Gar
Geld. lie was in the way Of a thorough
uniting Of the Republican party and he
therefore regarded his death A. public
necessity. II is turning out, however, that
Guiieau, notwithstanding his assertions,
was moved more by revenge than patriot
ism in his act. His insstisie desire for
Office had caused him 10 force himself re-
pcaiedly on the President, who becoming
worried out with him, had finally had him
elected from the White House. This cruel
indigniiy. as Guitean regarded il, perhaps
fired him 10 do the cowarlly act for which, II

cratic 10 suggest the propriety Of attaching
more severe penalties for the assassination
Of high public officers. than for a like
crime sgainst common people, but we are
forced to believe that some law Of this sort
Is necessary. The life Of the humblest hu-
man being should be held sacred, and the
fullest sentence Of the law be imposed on
him who takes il, but when murderer
aims a blow at whole country by sssassi-
mating Its chief officer, thereby creating
great public disturbance, unsettling values
and producing panics, an ordinary mode
Of punishment seems too good for the Of
tense. II Guiteau can not be roasted alive,
disemboweled or quartered because his vic.
does not die, his punishment should, as
the Louisville Commercial suggests, be for
the full length Of his term in solitary con-
iinsment in dungeon. There are too
many people in this world anxious for no.
toriety Of the Kind that Guiteau craved,
who would run the risk Of a short term in
Jail to accomplish it, that would stand
back sghast were the punishment severe
and extraordinary. Send Guiteau to the
penitentiary for the short term Of eight
years, and with nothing 10 humiliate him
more than an ordinary prisoner, and the
result will be but to prepare him for prof

For ne Interior JosrAai;
Notwithstanding the intense heat Of the
past ten days, the crowd Of visitors at Pink
Cottage has not diminished. or the interest
Of the people appeared TO lessen. Whole
families from distance come by trains or
carriages, and quite a number Of ministers
OF different denominations have called for
special enlightenment. II there has been
q dissenting voice we have not heard it
only words Of strong encouragement. Of the
warmest sympathy, and hearty congratula-
tons have met our ear. When gentle
men AS well a. ladies' Of intellect, eul.
ture and personal pie,y come to hear Of
the simple application and appropriation
Of truths from the Bible, as taught and
exemplifed by those in charge, it Is an
evidence Of their sincerity aud respect for
II and them. The lady healed after seven
years Of lingering sickness left on Monday
with her daughter, and their place was
Immediately filled by party from George
town and Louisville. A visitor Of a few
days claimed the promise, and her beam

blessing. Another lady from Louisville is
here for the healing Of her child. The
two young ladies, also from Louisville,
who have charge Of large insii tuition and
been such delightful companions, attest to
being greatly refreshed and strengthened,
soul and physically. One who had faith
to receive the promise, on her return home
bearing the testimony, caused a neighbor
who WAS on the point Of going to the
Springs to come here instead. Another
who also had entered in" at day-dawn

Gen. Echols.

The introduction of the name of Gen. Ech-
OILS among the candidat es for nomination for
the Legislature by the County Convention last
Monday was ill-timed and entirely out of place
For the last twelve months he has been en-
gagged in extensive railroad ork in the West
and at the time of the Conven lion he was not
in the city. He had been appro ached on the
subject of nomination, and very positively
declined the use of his name. Had he been
nominated he would not haye accepted for the
reason that prior and imperative engagements
would have absolutely prevented him from
serving if he had been elected. These facts
were known to many, and hence his friends
never thought tor moment that his name
would be brought before the Convention Had
it been suspected that such would be the case,
it would have been very easy matter to have
effected nomination and thus relieved the re-
suit ofan apparent reflection upon his popu
larity. We regard Gen. Echols as one of the
ablest and most useful representatives the
county has ever had, and the fact that he has
always run ahead of his ticket evidenced the
esteem in which he is held by the people. His
thoughtless nomination last Monday placed
him in false position, and it is to be regret
ted that his own wishes were not consulted in
abstaining from the mention of his name in
the convention at all. 1t is improper and in
bad taste to make such unwarranted use of
gentleman's name, and trifle with his wishes,
for it would have been next to impossible for
him to have accepted the position had it been
rendered him.
