The Corsicans Observer Index, comment
Ing upon the visit of Mr.. Conklipg to the
white house, few days ago, and his
message of 81 mpathy to Mrs. Garfield, says
In the face Of Mr. Conkling'e defeat he
did gracious and handsome act in calling
ut the white house TO express his interest in
the presidents critical condition. MIR. Conk-
ling has his faults, just rs all other morlas
have, but he is great noble, talented man
for all that. la tee haste Of the American
people to Kick II man when he is down, We
feel warranted in bel ewing that this act will
certainly not be set down Ia malice against
him, nor charged AS failing.

the American flag soar away to heights of

The 4lh Of July ia getting every year
more historic. II has witnessed the nations
birth; the death of three presidents; the rs.
sembling of the extra session OF congrels in
1861, In which the great war measures we're
inaugurated; the surrender of Nicksburg;
and lastly the sorrow Of the whole na,ion In
expectation of the death of another pre- sdent.
II has been repeatedly confirmed MS the day
of both national Joy and sorrow-peculisrly
American day.
lLNo southern man ever believed the story
alleged to have been told by Hon, Rober,
Toombs, Of George, that tho confederate
secretary Of the treasury permitted the no

printing confederate money, to print foF
themselvee as much as they wanted every
night. In fact IL is very doubtful if Mr..
Toombs ever said such thing, but rs the cd.
