VANCOUVER INDEPENDENT.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER Is, 1881.

The condition of President Garfield
Is that of continued improvement,
though slowly and doubtful, which
has continued since his removal to
the OCEAN side at Long Branch except
on Sunday last, when serious lung
troubles were feared. Since that
time this difficulty is passing away,
and he has been able to sit up once
for half hour. The following tele-
graph dispatch gives particu lars more
fully:
LONG BRANCH, Sept. l3.-The pres
ident's condition continues favorable.
No i'll effects were experienced from
being placed in his reclining chair,
and there was no change in the pulse
or temperature in consequence of his
removal from the bed and back again.
The president enjoyed the change.
He was placed in position command
ing full view of the ocean and ele-
waited to an angle of about 45o. He
was removed to his bed at his own re-
quest, not because he was tired, but
because he considered it best not to
overtlo the matter. The febrile rise
was scarcely perccptible last night,
and what there was continued until
the morning dressing, which accounts
for the temperature noted in the morn
ing bulletin. Bliss still maintains
that the president is convalescent
and there are no indications of blood
poisoning He holds that the lung
complication is gradually passing
away and does not apprehend any fur
ther trouble from it. He says exist
ence of trouble in that organ has been
known by surgeons for several weeks
past and the crisis came Sunday,
which he virtually lost by not making
any gain. Since then, however, he
has improved.

The Cincinnati Commercial OF recent

times. We are little hard Of hear

The Portland Oregonian says that
the surveys of the n. p. r. r. line
from Kalama to Portland are COM
pleted, and the engineers are now
preparing their reports. There are
three routes to decide between. One,
to cross the Columbia at Kalama,
run up the west bank of that and the
Willamette rivers to Portland. This
one has in its favor better crossing
of the river, especially in times of ice
blockades, but it necessitates the fer
rage of two wide rivers. The second
route would run up on the east bank
of the Columbia To the mouth of the
Willamette and cross to the east bank
of that river. The third route is to
run inland on the east side ofthe river
and tocross at Vancouver. The choice
will soon be made and work iseXpect-
ed To begin yet this fall.

A terrible and destructive forest fire
prevailed throughout the eastern
counties of Michigan on Sept. S. Towns
have been swallowed up by the devour-
ing flames, railroad tracks, telegraph
poles, and everything has been re-
duced to cinders. The townships of
Delaware, Minden and Austin, in SAN
lilac county, and Bingham, Sheridan
and Paris, in Huron county, are al
most destitute. The total loss of prop
erty is not less than 500, 900 with very
little insurance, and few are able to
bear the loss. Help must he had from
other cities or men will perish. In
the vicinity of Richmond>vil!e and
Western, Foster and Marion town
ship, reliable Information leads to
say that upwards of 500 people per-
ished in the flames. There was no es-
cape for them. The woods and ground
were so dry that no warming of danger
was given further that race horse
would give. When ii came, it would
embrace house or barn with its con-
tents, and away to the next. Persons
who have been through the terrible
ordeal say that in ten minutes from
the time the fire struck there would
be no ve~tige of house left. The fires
were checked in some localities 10y the
fortunate descent of rain.

Sergt. Mason, of Battery b, I'd art
illery, when relieving the guard at
Jail in Washington on Sunday after
noon shot at Guitteau through the
window of his cell and came near kill
ing him. The ball grazed his head
and was imbedded in the cell wall.
Mason was promptly arrested, taken
to the arsenal and incarcerated. 1t is
probable that he will be delivered to
the civil authorities for trial. Quit
teau is very much frightened by this
attempt on his life, and just begins
to see how it is himself In the minds
of many men it is doubtful whether
the wretch will be permitted to live
long enough to get inside of a court
room for trial. Hundreds of men
would be willing eXecutioners on
sight.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1881-09-15

There is no other man in America
so universally abhorred, as Charles J.
Guitteau. He is imprisoned for shoot
ing down the executive head of the
Government. And yet in such sacred
regard is human life held in this
country, that the army and navy are
already put in requisition to protect
the life of this eXecrated miscreant,
and to secure him fair, impartial
trial. Verify, the equality and fair
ness of our institutions are not an
idle boast, but an invaluable reality.

Malone with the RepublIcans.

Washington. March 14.-The expec-
tation that the contest over the organi-
zation of the senate would be uncom-
monty interesting to-day filed the
galleries at an early hour, and the floor
was also crowded throughout the after
noon, by members of the house of
representatives, giving the chamber the
appearance of a regular .'field day, -
which the exciting character of the
proceedings fully justified. The chief
sensations of the day were, of course
the fierce attack of Hill upon Malone
and the latter's vigorously defiant re-.
ply. 1t was the general comment that
Hills speech materially strengthened
the solidity of any compact that NAV
have been made between Malone and
the republicans, as the Georgia sena-
tors threats could not possibly have
any other effect with courageous man
like Malone than to impel him to nail
his colors to the mast. The scene was
very striking, as Malone, slight in
figure but bearded as pard, paced up
and down in the area in front of the
clerks desk and hurled his scornful
retorts at the large framed Georgian,
and the galleries broke out in applause
and the floor with roars of laughter

An old horseman speaking Of this
subject says:
If you want to buy a horse don't be-
lieve your own brother. Take no mans
word for it. Your eye is your market.
Don't buy horse in harness. Unhitch
him and take everything off but the
halter, and lead him around. If he has
a corn or is stiff, or has any other fail
ing you can see it. Let him go by
himself little ways and if he slaves
right into anything you may know he's
stone blind. No matter how clear and
bright his eyes are, he can't see any
more than Il bat.
Back him up too. Some horses show
their weakness or tricks that way when
they don't any other.
But be as smart as you can, and you'll
get caught sometimes. Even an expert
gets stuck. a horse may look ever so
nice, and go mile minute and yet
have fits for instance. There isn't a
live man could tell it until something
happens. Or he may have weak back.
Give him the whip and off he goes fol
a mile or two; then, all of sudden,
he sits down ON the road. After rest
he gets up and starts again, but he soon
sists down for good, and only derrick
could raise him.
Do you know what dummy is?
You don't? Well, I'll tell you. He's
a horse that doesn't know anything
His brain has gone wrong. A dark
stall and over-feeding have ruirel his
digestion. and that has affected his
brain. Drive him out ways and
pretty soon he will jerk his head around
and pull right straight on a line. You
can't hold him. It's no use to try. The
first you know he has dumped you in a
ditch or smashed you up against a lamp
post. Tie him in a stable and he'll
back up aud break every halter you put
on him. Stretch d rope across the end
of stall SO he can't back out and he'll
climb up the wall.

Making It warm For Malone.

Washington, March 14.-Hill, Of
Georgia, in the senate this afternoon,
declaring that thirty-nine democrats
had been elected to the senate, and
pointing out Malone as one, induced
the latter to appear more public than
heretofore in his political affiliations.
He consulted with several republican
senator's, stating to them that he was
not elected as democrat, and was ad.
vised to defend himself on the floor.
He probably will state his position on
the floor this evening or tomorrow, at
any rate before the vote on the organi.
zation, giving his reasons for voting
with the republicans.
The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1881-03-15

Washington, March 14.-In the SEN
ate debate to-day Pendleton affirmed
that the democrats had nothing to
gain by organization except the power
to proceed with the confirmation of the
republican presidents appointments;
twas dangerous precedent; the repub-
licans proposed 20 pair two elected mem
bers here present with two men yet to
be, and who may never be elected;
twas no undue haste they were exer-
cising in trying to organize.
Conkhng said, he who exercises ac-
cuses. Pendleton was fleeing when no
man pursueth. lie had either thought
it necessary to defend the party or Gre
ate some impression on the country.
He referred to the democratic caucus
as an ecumenical council, which at last
wearied of the question how the indie
pendent party of the senate was to be
captivated; it had become weary of ar
ranging machinery which was to force
the gentleman from Illinois (Davis) to
walk by the wheel of the democratic
chariot. After it had exhausted its Ie-
sources of craftsmanship it come in
with a report which was defective in
some regards, for instance, it had put
both the senators from Ohio on the
Judiciary committee, in order that that
great state might not only be a land Of
law, but the law of the land. 1t seemed

Toliing of Bells and General I'M ourn
ing of the People.

A.& ~ s.&o toPAt-
st. Petersburg, March 1.-The bells
of the city are tolling, and there are
everywhere to be seen manifestations of
mourning on account of the assassina-
tion of the czar. Public buildings,
stores and residences are draped in
black. The offices of the legations,
the government departments, stores,
and places OF business generally are
closed. Throngs of people are in the
streets discussing the terrible crime
which has shocked the whole country.
The arrangements for the funeral of the
murdered emperor will be made on the
most extensive scale, beltting the high
rank of the dead ruler.
1t is the prevailing opinion here that
the new czar Of Russia will find serious
obstacles confronting him at the outset
of his reign. Rumors of nihilist plots
are rife, and fears of outbreaks and
further assassinations are entertained.
Vienna, March 14.-The count will
go into mourning for one month, and
Arch Duke Ludwig will attend the fu.
neral of the Gar.
London, March 14.-The British and
Spanish go into mourning for one
month, and the Greek chamber of dep
uties adjourned as mark of respect to
the late Gar.
Sofia, March 14.-The prince of Bull
garia has gone to st. Petersburg, leav-
ing the regency in the hands of the cab
met. There is general mourning
throughout Bulgaria.
