SENATOR MILLER.

Warner Miller, elected to the
United States Senate at Albany, Is
thus alluded to by the Rochester On.
V Union
MILLER was never heard of until
1874 and 1875, when he was in, the
Assembly from Herkimer county
Then he was lost sight of until a
couple of years ago, when he was
sent to Congress from the Herkimer
district. This is the extent of his
public life; and where is the citizen
who can put his finger upon any
thing he ever said or did that favor
ably distinguishes him from tho
rest of the million and a quarter of
voters in the State? He is a no4
body-not even as much of a man
as Lapham, who served in the Con
stitutiOnal Convention of 1867, and
who has been half a dozen years in
Congress, where he accomplished
the statesman-like feat of prevent
ing the passage of an act for a public
building in Rochester, because its
erection would be likely to take the
United States Court away from his
village Miller is not without his
fame, but that fame consists in the
fact that in Congress he has been
the champion of the er-pulp mo-
nopoly, which by tariff protects his
wares and enhances the cost of pa
Der to every man. woman and child
in the Unite States. He has a3arge
pulp and paper mill at Lyonsdale,
Lewis county, and he is now in the
House of Representatives, and seeks
to enter the Senate for the purpose
of protecting his private interest at
the cost of the press and people of
the country"
The New York Legislature seems
to have elected a "nobody," but as
he is to succeed a "nobody" they are
as we'll off as they were before.

The COurier-JOurndL, of the 10th

Wis on the attempted assassination OF
President Garfield
BEAUVOIR, Harrison county, Miss,
July 5, 1881.-Mr. Findley S. Col
Inns Dear Sir: / have received yours
of the 4th inst. and thank you for
the kind expressions it contained
The evil Influences to which you re-
fer as causing the bitterness felt to-
wards Southern men it may fairly
be expected will give way to the sol
id sense of the people if they shall,
like Yourself, detect the sordid mo-
tive for which the stimulants are ad-
minlstered. | will not, like the tele-
gram you cite in regard to the at
tempted assassination Of the Presi-
dent, say I am thankful the assassin
is not a Southern man, but / will say
| regret that he is an American. A
crime black enough in itself, Las a
deeper dye from tbs mercenary mo-
tive which seems to have prompted
it. = sincerely trust the President
may recover and that the startling
event will arouse the people to the
consideration of remedy for the
Generalization which a wild hunt
after office is creating.
With the best wishes for your wei
fare, | am, very truly yours,
JEFFERSON DAVIS.

NOT SO WELL!
The President Chills and Creates
Temporary Alarm.
LATER REPORTS ARE MORE
FAVORABLE.

WASHINGTON. July %, z p. M
The President has done we'll during
the day. His afternoon fever did
not come on until after 3 o'clock. 1t
is somewhat higher than yesterday,
but there has been no chill. At noon
his pulse was 104, temperature 50 4,
respiration 90 At Z p. M, his pulse
was 10, temperature 1913, respira-
ton "A. Ex-senator Conkling call
ed at the Executive Mansion to-day
and expressed to Mrs. Garfield thro'
DR. Bliss qualification at the encour-
aging condition of the President.
WASHINGTON, July % II 80 a. m.
DIR. Boynton, who just came from
the Presidents chamber, attributes
the sudden rise in the President
pulse and temperature to some OBJ
structiOn in the way of free dis
charge of pus from the wound.
| Symptoms of granulation were motto
ed along the track of the ball yester-
day, and it is possible that this heal
ing process going on at some point
comparatively near to the external
surface of the body has damned up
a quantity of ipus in the deeper
part of the wound, and that the
chill and increase of fever are thus
to be accounted for The discharge
this morning although perfectly nor
NAL and healthy in its character,
was unusually scanty, which would
seem to indicate that its flow had
been in some way impeded or inter
rupted. The chill mentioned in the
official bulletin commenced about
o'clock and lasted until 8, being
quite severe, the pulse running up
at one time to $50. At this hour
the fever is said to be gradually dis
appearing and the patients condi-
ton is considered better than when
the bulletin was issued.
WASHINGTON, July % 1:3O p. m.
The Presidents symptoms are less
favorable since the chill this morn
ing. Pulse 1875, temperature 1O4. The
discharge from the wound is checked
and there is some apprehension OF
an abscess forming without an out
| let.

GUITEAU UPON CONKLING.
In arecent conversation with Gui-
teau he expressed considerable ad
miration for ex-senator Conkling
politically, but seemed to think his
manness could be improved. Gui
teau has campaign speech on Gar
field and Hancock which he has
been in the habit of using as an in
PRODUCTION to prominent political
personages. Ia New York awhile
| ago he approached Mr. Conk-
ling and rendered him a copy of the
speech, but was treated rather
cavaIierly. The next time he met
him in Washington, and again
handed Mr. Conkling a copy of the
speech, saying that as he (Guiteau)
was an applicant for office the speech
would show the ground for his
claims. Mr. Conkling on this occas-
ion angrily declared that he did
not want the speech, and threw it
on the ground with scOrn. Senator
Don Cameron was present and
witnessed the scene with some
amusement. Guiteau says "DOn
and came to the conclusion that
my Lord Roscoe was snubbing me. "

filed its mission, lost its true leader,
discarded its principles, and is "rot-
ton with corruption. When Mr.
Conkling sees fit to do this, he will
find an audience as wide as the
United States. Men will forget the
petty strife at Albany and hear
with attention that which deeply
concerns every American citizen.

LET HIM SPEAK OUT.

Zone night I was with HIM in his room

up and down like raging lion. At last
he broke out: Lawrence, l can't keep
company with this riff raft any longer
They are rotten with corruption, and,
after having taken everything else, they
are bound to steal the Presidency. Sher-
man reeks with plumber. Wheeler is a
virtuous log roller. Stanley Matthews
would sell his soul fer office. As for
Hayes, he is simply piOus sneak, ready
tn give money to be President, and to
drop on his knees in tears if caught at
it. / have great mind to get up In

told him 1t would drive him into the
Democratic party I and he said: Let 1t
drive; there are more gentlemen ana
fewer hogs than with us. These were
Just his words"
The New York Sun, commenting
on the foregoing extract published
on the authority of the Hon. Lewis
Lawrence, of New York, about the
time of the decision in favor of the
Louisiana fraud by the Electoral
Commission, calls upen Mr.. Conk-
ling, if the sentiments were his, OF
which there can be no doubt, to tell
why it was he did not cast himself
loose from the evil and corrupt fell
lowship? Why, it asks, did he talter
and go back when his feet were fairly
over the party line, and his best
friends were advised that he was
ready to rise in his place, denounce
the electoral fraud and lay bare the
villainy opposing the declaration of
Samuel j. Tilden's election? Mr..
Lawrence attributes his failure to
an influence which we shall not
mention, because we do not believe
that Mr.. Conkling's intellect was
ever controlled byit But that"pious
sneak, Hayes" has very recently
declared that the late Senator Nor
ton, being alarmed by Senator Conk-
ling's threat to review the infamous
Judgment, and knowing well that
it could stand no such test, found
out way to drive Conkling from
his purpose and force him to smooth
err his convictions. Mr.. Conkling
owes il to his fame to reopen that
mysterious chapter in our history
and let the country know why,
when he had both the power and
the inclination, he did not save it
from the shame Of Fraudulent
President. He has 10 longer any
decent excuse for silence. He has
been read out of the Republican
party as at present constituted. In
the nation and in the State it is wag-
ing a relentless warfare upon him,
and it is no less his duty to do now
what he failed so singularly to do in
February, 1877, namely, to de
nounce the whole thiHg" and "call
on honest Republicans" to sustain
him against a party which has full !

GAP AND ONO RAILROAD.
The latest information from Maj.
Jones and his corps of engineers is
to the effect that they are now go
ing down the north side of the Clinch
mountain, and have found grades
better than any yet found and better
than was expected. The line has
already been shortened three miles.
Correspondence is now going on
with Northern capitalists, and posi-
tive assurance is given to the friends
of the enterprise here that money
for the construction of the road can
be obtained as soon as satisfactory in
formation of the cost of completion,
etc. is furnished. The survey now
being made by Maj. Jones, we are
informed, will be adapted to that
guage which may hereafter be shown
to have the most advantages. There
are now two corps of engineers in
the field in kentucky surveying
lines running to Cumberland Gap.
The outlook all around is favorable.
The world is moving. 1t will move
despite all that croakers may say,
Morristown will grow. Soon the
connection to the sea board through
North Carolina will be completed.
Our Northern connection will fol-

A Compositor,s Murder and Suicide.

New YORK, May 29-Edward Dezendorf,
a compositor, living with his wife, mother,
sister and brother at 164 Prince street,
Brooklyn, to-day shot his wife, inficting a
mortal wound, and then killed himself. 1t
see ms Dezendorf had been drinking much of
late and had frequent quarrels with his
wife This morning he arose in a bad
humor, and after quarreling with his wife
went out and did not return until afternoon.
He entered the basement where his wife and
sister were talking. Pacing the floor mood
lily few times, he asked his wife to step up
stairs as he had something to say TO her.
As they went up to the parlor the sister
went into the kitchen. The husband and
wife renewed the quarrel and the sister
occasionally heard the wife tapping on the
floor with her foot. Soon after she heard a
pistol shot, followed by heavy fall on the
floor. She ran up stairs screaming and
calling to her brother. The parlor door was
locked and she ran 10 the back stOop and
looked in at the window. At this moment
she saw her brother raise the pistol to his
breast and fire. The screams of the girl
brought her mother to the spot, but they
were unable to get into the room until an
officer living near and off duty scaled the
fence and broke open the door. Dezendorfi
and wife were both lying on the floor in a
pool of blood. He gaspeda few times and
expired. Mrs. Dezendorf was unconscious
and bleeding profusely from wound just
over her left breast. The physicians were
of the opinion that she could not long sur
vive. The murdered woman and suicide
leave three children.
