OF the principals in the star route frauds has
been postponed till fall. The country has
been treated to periodical statements of the

million dollars has already been saved
without impairing the efficiency OF the pos.

The Barbarous Code.

The duello still survives, and now
and then gentlemen, in everything cour-
ageous except one, are heard of as ener-
gctically lodging the police in order to
get to some secret place where, by mu-
tual arrangement, each may endeavor to
murder the other. We said courageous
in everything except one, and that ex-
ception is the fear that if they are not
willing to attempt murder and give an
enemy the chance to attempt the same on
them their neighbors will think they are
not "game," The seconds are the
friendly gentlemen who superintend
the numbering and see that it is
done according to the rules. The
time will come in Virginia when men
will have the moral courage to prefer
that doubts shall be entertained of their
physical courage rather than prove it by
murder upon the mere provocation OF
hasty words. The men who engage in
duels are defers of the laws of God and
man, and when they kill or MAIN fell
low-being they are generally sufferers in
conscience during the rest of their lives.
Time will cure the evil by advancing civ
ilization. The late duel in Virginia proved
bloodless, though both men were unques-
tionably brave. We greatly regret that
the campaign in that State has been
marred by this breach of law, and sin
cerely trust that greater forbearance and
less disposition to give or take ofiense
may characterize the public debates.

THE VIRGINIA CAMPAIGN.
Letter from CommissIoner OF Internal
Revenue Green n. Raum.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept II, 1881.
Hon. J. AMBLER SMITH;
DEAR SIR: | have your valued favor
asking my views in regard to the propriety Of tho
Republicans Of Virginia supporting the Cameron
Lewis ticket have no hesitation in saying that
i'll was citizen Of Virginia would give that ticket
my most earnest support. have recently Travelled
through number Of States, and have met many
prominent Republicans, with whom have con.
versed upon this subject, and, without exception,
they have expressed hope that the Cameron.
Lewis ticket would be successful. The overthrow
Of the supremacy of the Bourbon Democracy of
Virginia can only be secured by the cooperation
Of all men who favor equal rights, equal pr0tec.
tion under the laws, free schools for oil, and an
honest election and fair count. The Importance
OF establishing and maintaining these principles
Is OF such paramount Importance TO the Common
wealth that to my mind they overshadow all other
questions. Securing human rights and human
Liberties is of more consequence to the people Of
Virginia than the question Of the payment of the
public debt.
In regard to this debt question: II is we'll known
that hundreds OF millions of dollars have been re.
pudiated since the accession of the Bourbon De.
mocracy to power in the Southern sates and that
they have not paid dollar OF the debt of Virginia
IN the last twelve years. Under these circum-
stances II is amazing that Republicans should be
deceived by the claim that the Bourbon party Of
Virginia Is debt t-payng party. Were holder
OF Virginia bonds l would prefer to take my
chances with the Republicans and Readiusters, II
they carry the Stotc, than with the Bourbon Dc.
mocracy, who loudly proclaim themselves in ia.
vor OF paying tho debt and yet never pay dollar
OF IT, In my humble opinion the duty Of every
Republican in Virginia is to support Cameron aud
Lewis and the whole Liberal ticket, aud secure
the overthrow Of Virginia Bourbonsm, and with
1t intolerance and misrule. Yours very respectfully

The Autopsy.

The result of the autopsy upon the body
of the President creates profound aston
ishment among physicians and laymen,
Whether there is any excuse for dag
nosis so wide Of the mark will be duly
discussed by the doctors. 1t is certainly
a great blow to surgical science that it
can be so misled. AS to whether the
wound was necessarily mortal will be the
main question in the discussion sure
to come. Doubtless the general yer-
diet will be that the pyemia
came from the pus generated by the irac-
tured rib, the sharp splnters of which,
it would seem, might have been removed
Immediately after the shooting, instead of
after they had started a fountain of what
readily turned into deadly poison. The

PRESIDENT GARFIELD'S WILL.
The Document sIgned since re was shot
All IiIs Property Len TO His Widow.

In the early part of August, it is said,
the President signed will which leaves all OF his
property to his widow. on the same day, finding
that he could write so well, he Insisted on writing
a letter TO his mother which he did, This letter
found its way into the newspapers few days after
ward. From the same source II is learned that
General Garfield owned real estate amounting 10
about s25OOO This estimate includes the house
he occupied In this city as private residence
during the last eight years he was In the House OF
Representatives.
General Garfield had his life Insured for $4,000
IN two companies In this city. He took out pol
icy Of sl0,O 600 In the Equitable Assurance Company
soon after his nomination 10 the Presidency. The
premium fell due and was paid while he was at
Long Branch in June, few days before he was
shot, The society sent its check to its agent in
Philadelphia Tuesday, with instructions to pay
the amount of the policy to Mrs. Garfield at once.
In May last General GARFIELD was insured foIs 900
In the New York Life Insurance Company, The
policy was written out in the White House. when
he entered Williams College In 1854 General Gar
field insured his life for $500 in the Mutual Life In-
surance Company in this city He used this policy
as security for u loan Of $500 He repaid the loan
after graduation with money earned in teaching
school

His FayorIte Poet.

President Garfcld's favorite poet was
and the poem he loved best was "n
Memoriam," The following familiar stanzas from
this poem, which he quoted in an address on the
death Of Lincoln, and (which were more than
once applied to himself after his accession TO the
have a new and melancholy interest
and significance now. He was indeed
As some divinely glfled man,
Whose life In low estate began,
And on simple village greeni
Who breaks his births invdous bar,
And grasps the skirts Of happy chance,
And breasts the blows Of circumstance,
Aud grapples " ith his evil star;
Who makes by force his merit known,
Ana lives to clutch the golden keys,
To mould a mighty states DEGREES
Aud shape the whisper of the throne.
And moving up from high TO higher,
BECOMES on Fortunes crOwning slope
The pillar Of a peoples hope
The centre Of a.woTlds desire.

To-day and tomorrow the inanimate
form of JAMES A. GARFIELD, who had in
his lifetime been called to the post of
First Citizen of the Republic, lies in the
rotunda ofthe Capitol, within few wards
of the spot where he was inaugurated on
the 4th of March. Atevery session for the
previous eighteen years his feet had trod
the place where now lies but the casl,et
which contained his immortal spirit.
1t is a sight to wiring the stoutest heart
which one sees who looks in that enact
ated face for resemblance TO the late
President The Nation pays its last pos
sible devotion to the deceased when il
opens the doors of the Capitol to receive
and shelter his cherished remains for n
time, and then causes them to be ten
derly borne by Representatives and other
officials to the State which claims the
final care of them. These are sad days
in the country's history. The thought
fulness they inspire cannot be without
good influence.
