considered by the Cabinet officers and
has caused a great deal of comment.
Some of them insist that before long it
will be very important that the Presi-
dent should be acquainted with his ex-
treme danger.
SAMPLE OF POPULAR FEELING.
At Westfield, Staten Island, on re-
ceipt of the news concerning the unfa
vOrable change in President Gartield's
condition, a very exciting meeting was
held. Every man present pledged him
self under oath to proceed to Washing
ton at his own expense, in case the
President died, and take part in any
movement that might be organized to
avenge the Chief Magistrates death.
The Latest.
The latest reports indicate that the
President is at least holding his own,
and is no worse. On Tuesday night
he slept better than he had for a week
past, and on Wednesday afternoon his
stomach was regaining its tone, the
glandular swelling had been success
fully lanced, and the physicians were
i'OlihS hlOlC NOhllltub. L ut CIlslS Is
not yet passed however. His pulse on
that afternoon was l04. The people at
Washington are beginning to hope
again.
Official bulletin from President at
$50, 18th, says general condition same
as yesterday. Slept most of the night.
Pulse JOG, temperature 9S9.

Presidential Disability.

There has been good deal of dis
cussion lately about the official disa
bility of the President, and it has been
claimed that the condition of the Pres
ident was such as to warrant the Vice
Presidents assuming the control of
affairs given him in such an event by
the constitution. While some journals
have advocated such a step, many
others have asserted with good deal
of emphasis that there is no need of
Mr.. Arthur's taking up the reins of
government, for the simple reason that
they have not yet fallen from Mr.. Gar
fields hands, even if one takes the
constitutional provision as literally as
may be. The provision referred to is
found in section one of article two of
the constitution, which reads like this
"In case of the removal of the Pres
ident from office, or of his death, res
ignation or inability to discharge the
duties of the said office, the same shall
devolve upon the Vice President"
Now what is the real state of affairs
at Washington There is no indica-
ton that the duties of the executive
office need any assistance from the
Vice President more than ordinarily.
There is nothing extremely important
demanding the immediate personal at
tention of the President. The Cabinet
officers are attending to their duties,
and in every department the work is
going on as well as can be expected,
when the entire business and personal
interest of the nation is awaiting with
painful anxiety the issue of a calamity
whose fatal ending would be so disas-
trous to it. There is not, it seems to
us, any call for Mr.. Arthur's official in
reference, and any agitation of the
question is out of place. If Mr.. Gar
field dies, the requirements of the con-

Society in general is to be cOngratu-
lated on the arrest and prospective
punishment of a hitherto successful
bigamist and forger-thOugh society
itself is responsible to a great extent
for his success in crime. The criminal
in question is Arthur Merritt, of New
Haven, Conn, who has for several
years employed his time in marrying
anybody who would have him, and in
getting cash on forged drafts to sup
port his original and only real family.
He has had a remarkably prosperous
career has found eight or ten women
who were willing to trust their lives to
him without taking the trouble to in
vestigate his character, and who were
all educated, and held good positions
in society. So long as society offers a
premium on such frauds-sO long as
opportunities are granted them without
a thought as to who or what they are
Just so long will wOmen's lives be
wrecked, with all the consequent pain
and disgrace. No punishment which
the law may afflict on Merritt can in
the least atone for the wrongs he has
committed but if the moral of his sto-
ry is appreciated at all and acts as
preventive in any future danger of the
same sort, something will be gained.

The Queen and Mrs. Garfield.

The alarming crisis of last week
called forth many anxious inquiries for
the Presidents condition from foreign
nations, but none of them more touch
ing than the message from Queen Vic
toria direct, over her own signature, to
Mrs. Garfield. 1t read as follows:
am most anxious to know how the
President is to-day, and to express my
deep sympathy with You both.
(Signed) The QUEEN.
Mrs. Garfield Immediately sent the
following grateful reply to Her Majesty ;
Your Maiesty's kind inquiry finds
the Presidents condition changed for
the better. In the judgment of his
medical advisers there is strong hope
of his recovery His mind is entirely
clear, and Your Majesty's kind express
sions of sympathy are most grateful to
him as they are gratefully acknowl-
edged by me.
(Signed) LUCRETIA R. GARFIELD.
There is something very beautiful in
this kindly interest expressed all over
the world, and the American nation
will be slow to forget it.

The President.

Since our last issue the Presidents
phase, and the nation has been i'll daily
of hearing that the end
had come. The case seems almost
hopeless at this writing, although the
doctors will not give up their patient,
and cling to the belief that they can
pull him through after all. But the
members of the cabinet have almost
given up hope, and, from their daily
knowledge of the case, they are i'll Il
position to Judge pretty well about 1T.
If the President was not so terribly
weak, there would be more ground for
hope that he could successfully cope
with the fearful strain that is yet to
come even in case he grows no worse.
But when we stop to consider that the
sufferer has been PROSTATE for more
than six weeks, with little or no nOur-
ishment, with an ugly bullet wound
twelve inches deep, and a loss of about
eighty pounds of flesh, it is easy to
realize that his chances for recovery
are small indeed. He has proved him
self most remarkable man, and may
possibly be able to stand the strain.
But it will be almost a miracle if he is
saved to us. The very latest reports
show a little improvement in his con-
dition, but not enough to build much
hope upon. He alternates between
delirium and stupOr, and seems to
vearn for a return to his old home at
Mentor. His stomach is said to be
gaining a little in strength, but the
mere morsels of nourishment he is
able to take do very little toward
building up the fearful waste which
has been going on all these weeks.
The public interest in his condition is
as intense as when he was first strick-
en- down, and the whole heart of the
nation is with its beloved chief, now
hoping, now fearing, in dread uncer-
tainty and suspense. 1t does not seem
possible that change either for the
better or the worse can be long delay
ed. The President is very sick man,
and only time can tell what the end is
to he

Our New York Letter.
New YORK, August 10, 1881.

New YORK, August 10, 1881.
To the Editor Of the CaledOnidn
The poor President! Notwithstand
ing there is marrying and giving in
marriage and a general mind-your-
own business and grab all you can
sort of proceeding going on as usual in
Gotham, the little facts and fictiOns
of his idleness are taken advantage of
to create all the disturbance possible.
If he sneezes, stocks or the price of
grain, cotton or pork go up or down in
an illogical, haphazard way, for
sneeze is vehemently declared to be a
favorable symptom by one set of doc
tors and sign of imminent dissolution
by another. Then there's the question
as to whether he sneezed at all, for un
fortunately the Chief Executive not
only has a multitude of medical cooks
to spoil his broth, but the doubtful
bliss of at least one of them, who, in
the picturesque lingo of the aboriginal
red man, has forked tongue in fact
he says one thing to one eager news
paper reporter, and something diamet-
REALLY opposite to another five minutes
afterward. Thus lying PROSTATE and
lied about, the Chief Executive, who
can't execute anything, the exposure
of bone hunters, who impatiently and
impartially await his funeral or recOv-
ery, is the victim of a series of expert
ments that would almost nauseate a
cynical clinical class of medical stu
dents, and of publicity which pur-
ports to reveal the innermOst details
of the sick chamber.
Physiology and anatomy have, to a
certain extent, been introduced as
regular or irregular studies in the pub
lie schools, but it is singular how i'll
grounded the pupils must be as a rule
with the superficial knowledge afford
ed them. Negligence to avail herself
of her studies brought a damsel, or
rather beauteous bride, to considera-
BILE grief the other day. She was slim
and beautiful and she went to Europe.
! There she bought silks and laees and

stitution are plain, and can be fully
met. But if he grows no worse than
he is at this writing, the affairs of the
nation will not suffer. In this cOnnee-
ton the Chicago Times senses the
greater part of public opinion when it
says: ''The fact is that the President is
now. and has all the time since his in
auguration been able to discharge
every power and duty of the office by
his lawful ministers. The fact is he
has done it and is now doing it, and
the probability is he will continue to do
it until the appearance of a contingent
cy which will cause the Office to be va
cant, when it will devolve on some
other person. Any one of these facts
is worth more than a hundred specula-
tive theories"

Here is refreshing confession by
the St. Adams Messenger, in relation to
certain recent reflections on that towns
Incorporate proclivities: ''In st. AL
bans, as in all other large towns of the
state, plenty of liquor can be obtained
at the hotels and saloons by going i'll
and asking for it, without any particu
lar attempt at cOncealment either on
the part of the buyer or seller" If
that is the case, then it is time the
temperance organizations in that place
went to work and did something that
will tell.

1t is almost, if not quite, too bad that
the Jail guard whom Guiteau assaulted
and tried to kill the other day did not
put the contents of that pistol into
Guiteau's miserable carcass. He had a
splendid excuse for doing so, and if the
wretch could have been made to suffer
awhile as the President has suffered it
would have served him right. The
people are aroused. and would have
applauded the guard had he given
Guiteau dose of cold lead and a
chance to know what pain is. They
can not be otherwise than vindictive
and revengeful, when they stop to con-
slider, as they have often done within
the past weeks, the terrible pain infiict
ed on their beloved Chief Magistrate.
We have heard great many regrets
that Guiteau, in his second attempt at
murder, was not summarily dealt with.

The Boston EceRing Star is a new
candidate for public favor, which is
published on the penny plan. 1t is
newsy little sheet, and, though it has
some formidable rivals to compete
with, may prove success. Its low
price is a great inducement, but it is
question if it can gain IA foOthOld in
time to make it a permanent affair.
The penny paper has been tried be
fore in Boston, and did not succeed.
We shall be glad if the Star finds its
experiment paying one.

The Old Orchard correspondent of
the Boston Herald, or some enterpris-
ing telegraph operator, has gone to
making scriptural "revision" on his
own account. A week ago last Sun
day, Rev. Mr.. Hamilton preached a
good sermon to a large audience, at
the Old Orchard camp ground, from
the text in Proverbs: "The memory
of the just is blessed; but the name of
the wicked shall rot" On the day
following, the Boston Herald report OF
this clergyman's sermon announced
that he had preached from the follow
ing text: 1.-THE memory of the just is
pleasure but the name of the wicked
is not" The report did not state just
where this text could be found-possi-
bly, because the correspondent was a
little in donbt about the exact location
of il himself.

Governor Farnham was present at
the opening of the Mechanics fair in
Boston last week, and expressed him
self as regretting that Vermont was not
more fully represented among the ex-
hibits. In speaking of the few import
ant industries which Vermont can
boast, he referred to the manufacture OF
organs, the copper mining, the scale
making. etc. Vermont, the Governor
claimed, controls the weights of Boston
and the rest of New England.
