THE COUNTRY has been again startled
from ocean to ocean by news of violent,
open-handed and murdcrous attack on the
life of its Chief Executive. 1t comes at a
time of the most profound peace, in the
midst of the revival in a National and bust
ness SENSE of harmony and good will. The
mass OF the people care little or nothing for
the chickering's of professional politicians
and the only index to n countrys condition
is its healthful, hopeful, satisfied business
repose.
We had safely passed over and perma-
nently buried that era of intense and deadly
animosty that grew out of the war A
feeling of mutual goodwill had commenced.
There has been absolutely nothing in the
recent history Of the country to re-
vive these feelings of revenge, and
certainly, from this premisc, the land
can never view this brutal attack Con
President Garfield with even semblance
of the pallation which the bitter war
memories might have engendered in some
minds when Lincoln was shot
There can be but one feeling in every cor

The Anthracite Coal Trade.

IOVsyii lIu.J JOuTIiui, iSt'
The outlook of the trade at present is more
promising than at any previous period this
season. The purchasers of coal in large
quantities are beginning to realize that per-
feet harmony rules the producing interests,
and that there is therefore nothing upon
which to base hope that there will be n
break in prices. On the contrary, it is given
out that prices will be advanced in August,
and may rule higher still as the season ad-
vances. The coal product of the Schuylkill
region for the week ended June 25 was ST.
632 tons, as against 154, ,655 tons for the week
previous, and 98,206 tons for the correspond
ing week of last year. The total product for
the week was 419,730 tons, against 399,27S
crease of 20461 tons. The output for the
year is 12,024, ,6l5 tons, against 9,979, 100 tons
for the corresponding period of last year, an
increase of 2045,51 tons.

SATURDAY, JULY a, 1881.

THE STARTLING tragedy of this morning
appears to have been the work of u maniac
What may have been the particular cause
or quality of the mania is not of so much
interest Just as are the probable or possible
consequences of the act to the public. Twice
now within sixteen years has the career of
an American Chief Magistrate been tcrmi-
mated by violence. Twice has the nation
been plunged, without moments warn
ing, into complete revolution in the per-
sonmel and Herewith: of the policy and
tone of its government; not by act of
the people, but by that mysterious
Agency whose Hand is invisible and
whose selection of instrumentalitics is
inscrutiblc. If our Government were
dcspotism if tho President, who has fall
len, had been a tyrant; if the people, or
even any class of them, had been goaded to
madness by wrong oppression or injustice at
the hands of their Chief Magistrate; if even
the President himself had been man OF
nature and methods. calculated to excite
the personal animosity of his fellow-men
there might be some thread of logic, how
ever frai or brittle, on which to hang Q
theory of motive, public or private.
But none of these conditions exist. Their,
is nothing in the character of our Govern
ment or in the modes of its administration
- 30 Iao11,- poaainna nf pf IL
citizens The President himself was a maj
of singularly amiablc nature, and hi
methods were almost to II fault those o
kindness, gentleness and generosity.
The theory of political conspiracy, is, ac
cording to all present advices, too absurd t.
be seriously considered. There were fac
tional strifes, but the bitterness engenderet
by them was not extraordinary, and over
such resentment as existed was not directed
at the President himself so mucl
as at others who were supposed to be hi
advisers. In short, without wasting tim
in tedious and foundationlcss speculation
there was no conceivable cause, prctcxt o
shadow of motive for the act that coul
have found moments lodgmcnt in an
sane or deliberate head or heart
1t therefore appears that in addition
the ordinary vicissitudes of nature, a
American President is liable to momentar
destruction at the hands of any and ever
imaginable lunatc, maniac or vagarist an
with that terrible risk is carried all TIL
conceivable chances of sudden revolution j
the gravest and most important public col
Germs.
As yet the tragedy is too vivid, the popu
lar excitement caused by it too high and to
wild, aud the humane emotions of even tn
most even-tempered of thinking and reflect
ing men too intense to permit anything lik
calm or deliberate discussion of the pull
lie bearing and possible consequences Of tn
dreadful act. We can only tender in
mute, dumb sort of way, half stupifcd wit
sorrow and amazement, our sympathy an
coincidence to the family and friends of. IL,
great and good man who lies at death
door by the unprovokcd hand of an III
known maniac 1t is one of the stmnge'
episodes of all history.

In THE TABLES of longevity, if nowhere
else, the women have decidedly the advan-
tage. Three score and ten seems to have
been allotted as the span for man, in the
masculine gender, but towards the end OF
the race, in the long pull of physical en-
durance that comes in play above foul
score the women are the winners. In Balti
more, the records of the present year have
proved this fact repeatedly, and in Phila
delphia the most remarkable instances o.

the half year just ended, there have beer
six deaths of ccntenarans, four of whom

The QUESTION now with all the new
tangled apparatus for ventilation is simply
whether the thing works orn not. There is an
immense quantity of machinery offered fol
carrying off bad smells and draining off foul
water. Any private householder can get a
machine without the slightest difficulty
The only matter for consideration left is
whether it is constructed on true principles
to blow him up or drown him out. He pays
his money and he can take his choice. Do
nestle experience with some of the inven-
tions will recall to memory the very old
story of the man who was so fond of eating
fish that he crowned the enjoyment by in
venting a machine by which, by turning a
crank, all the bones flew away into space
while the flesh flew into the operators
mouth. 1t worked well, and he lived in
ccstacy until one day the crank turned the
wrong way.

with tho present attack on our President
Great strife breeds relentless hatred and
maniacs thirsting for revenge. If the same
spirit of assassination stalks abroad at mid
day, when peace and harmony prevail, 1t is
time to pause and ask whether the Prcsi-
dent of the United States should not, for
wise and bcncfccut purposes, be surrounded
with more personal protection than the
spirit of our laws has sanctioned.
In our fancicd security, made
more glaring before the eyes Of the world,
when they saw President inauguiated
four years ago in peace and order, and by
the quiet operations Of law and the popular
demand for harmony, even against the vcr-
diet of vast majority of her countrymen,
we have been led TO look with complacency
on the conspiracics which have stained the
history of monarchical Europe. The notion
that Nihilism in any shape that took the
form of violence could ever protrudc
itself on the quiet political institutions
of the United States would be branded rs
the raving of maniac. Our national peace
of mind has been suddenly aroused our
trust in the perfect success of lawful self
government has been shaken; and the heart
of this great country will throb, as it never
throbbed before, over the awful problem it
is called upon to confront.
We are reluctantly forced to face the
worst. While we have bccn slumbcring in
simple faith in the policy of American i'll
stitutions, the deeds Of the Nihlists,
the llblood-thirsty Rcvolutionists, and
the red headed Sans Culottes have been
growing silently and undisturbed on our
soil. Political dcmcntia, halting ut no wca-
pons that insure success, has been nOurished
into life and at last instigated to overt and
violent measures.
Has the time indeed come when the Pres
ident of the United States must rely for Sc
curity of life and limb on coats of mail
armed body guards, troops of scntinels and
howitzcrs mounted at the WhitcHousc gatcsi
Must the head that wears this highest
civic honor on Garth rest uneasy as the one
that wears the regal crown? 1t is ques-
ton compared with which all others which
have met us in our history pale into insig-
nificance. Can we discern the grim, rcpul-
sive shadow of Roman imperialism and Rus
sian conspiracy cast upon our political life
as the shadow of the Gross is cast in the
famous painting by Holman Hunt? Have
we grown old enough to breed the insane
Nihilist as Il feature of our peaceful Amcri
can life?
1t is time to be aroused. Heroic treat
ment is demanded by this woful crisis
The President Of the United States mus
be guaranteed the personal safety of his life
at whatcven sacrifice of Republican preju
Dice or Republican government will becom'
nothing better than faded memory of th'
past.

Leo XIII. Not to Leave Rome.

Rome Correspondence New York Tribune.
 Ofcourse, talk that has been going about as to the probability of the Pope shortly quitting Rome and Italy and carrying the Papscy into a second "Babylonish cap- tivity," will have reached you. Malta; Miramar, the lovely residence which the unfortunate Maximilian left when he started on his i'll starred and ill-judged Mexican expedition on the shore of the Adriatic about three miles from Trieste; Monaco, the rouge ct noir capital on the shore of the Mediterranean, and & loca- ton in the United States, have all bee talked of But you need not trouble yourself to inquire which of your cities is to be the new Head and Center of the Catholic world It is all talk. The Pope will not leave Rome. But the talk has some meaning in 1t, too. It Is true that various personages belonging to the more violent party in the Church have made suggestions to the rulers of the Hierarchy, proposing different schemes, and urging the Pope to free himself from the yoke and sight of the usurping Gov ernment, and shake the dust from off his feet against ungrateful, unbeiieving Italy. And the Holy Father invariably takes all these suggestions into serious con- SlQerdt1On. Dul ttllb feallN IutdHS III advertisement to Italy to this effect: "Mind what you are about Ifyou drive me too hard, you will force me to be off some of these days; and how would you like that?" The Pope knows very well that Italy, despite her usurpation and irreligion, would not like it at all. And he knows also, that in any such change he would, to use a vulgar phrase, Ego further and fare worse" All the talk is, in fact, extremely analogous to that of a discontented wife, who is always threat ening to apply for separation. That there is much incompatibility of temper in this is undeniable But the parties, with whatever amount of picker ing, will jog on together, and probably end by finding some not intolerable nodus Uicendi Another Vatican and an- other Basilica of St. Peter would not easily be found.

WRAPPED IN STOLEN SILK.
Ths Results of Two-weeks' Watch Set
 Upon H. E. Ciafiin Co.'s Store.


 Mir. Daniel Robinson, of the firm of H. B. Clafin X O., reported to Inspect or Byrnes. about two weeks ago, that the firm was losing goods by thefts De tectives King and Lion began on Satur- day, October 20. to watch the store. John Newbold, of 123 Ninth avenue, a watchman who has been employed by the house sixteen years, left the store at 5 o'clock that night, and before he reched his home at midnight, had paid a number of visits in such quarters that the suspicious of the detectives were ar- oused. Next day Newbold was in charge of the store as he was every Sum- day. In the morning Alfred Levine strolled dowd Church street and kicked the door of Clafiin's store as he went by. Newbold soon appeared, and, as he stood looking about, Levine slipped in at the door. Two hours later Newbold let Levine out. The detectives did not fol- low Levine, but followed Newbold that night and exery night for week.
 Yesterday they went on watching again. Levine was let into the store as before. Newbold this time glanced at detective King as he looked carefully around before following Levine in. The detective feared that he was discovered. and, quickly walking toward a gang of street sweepers, began talking to them in husiness-like way about their work Detective Lyons addressed himself in the same manner to driver of one of the carts. Newbold, however, was sus. picious and, leaving Levine in the store walked about for fifteen minutes with bis eye on the detectives and the street cleaners. Then he returned to the store.
 Levine was followed when he came out and was arrested at some distance from the store. Nothing was found upon him, though the detectives say he had wound roll of silk about his body while in the store, but had afterward taken it of.
 Ate o'clock Newbold left the store and was followed by the detectives up Church street to Canal, to Broadway, to Houston street and across to Mott. He was then within few steps of police headquarters, and the dectives accosted him and led him there. He had forty yards of silk wound about his body, and three pairs of drawers on. In West Broadway he had met John Masterson, of 116 Mott street, and had given him three dozen silk stockings and number of silk handkerchies and silk ties. Mas terson was arrested, and this property was recovered The amount of the firms losses by these thefts is not known.
