The August number of the North Inner
icdn Rerie,o devotes liberal share of its
space to polemical duel between Col. In
gerSoll, the great exponent of the unbelief
of the day, and Judge jeremiah S. Black,
the eminent jurist. Col. Ingersoll is
master of some of the most effective arts
of the rhetorician and the popular orator.
As an asSailant of revealed religion he
has more chance of success in confirming
the skeptical and carrying away the wav-
ering than perhaps any other infidel of
modern times. He is engaged in constant
aggressive attack, and the audiences
which applaud him afford evidence that
he is producing effect. Judge Black is
distinguished alike for his steadfaSt faith
in orthodox Christianity and for the pow
er and skill with which his convictions
are enlisted. He is, like the challenger,
a man of the world in his serious occupa-
lions and modes of thought. Col. Inger-
soil has made his attack in the ReUieac
and sustained it with all his force as an
assailant Judge Black has taken up the
challenge as the champion of Christianity.
1t is well that the daring intidel should be
called out and that he should be met by
such an antagonist. The cause of truth
can have nothing to fear from a contest
of this kind. Of the merits of the battle
it is for an interested public to judge.

AN ERA OF GOOD FEELING.

From present indications the murder
Gus assault upon the President because
of his conservative, conciliatory policy
will have tendency to inaugurate the
era of good feeling, the very thing for
which the South yearns, and which pa
triots of all sections desire. One thing
is certain, the shadow of terrible Ca
lamity has softened the asperities be-
tween the sections, and inspired both
Democrats and Republicans with a de-
sire to live better political lives, to seek
higher aims, and with sincere humility
to amend those faults which have
brought this shame upon the nation.
The South has heretofore been solid, and
in the mighty upheaval. the startling
revolution which the assault upon the
President has produced, the possibilities
are that in the next Presidential election
combination will be formed which will
make not only the South but the whole
country solid in support of ticket
which repudiates the Stalwarts of both
ections.-MemphiS Appeal (Dem.)

THE PRESIDENTS WIFE.

Henry E. Knox, United States Mar
shall for the Southern District of New
York is in Washington. He was
classmate of General Garfield at Will
Jams College, and is intimately acquaint-
ed with his family. In conversation
with the Boston Globe correspondent.
Mr. Knox said: ITO ME the most touch
ing thing of this sad affair is the perfect
devotion manifested by Mrs. Garfield.
The American people do not know her
yet, but will come to love her before the
end of the Presidents term. She is not
fashionable woman in any sense.
While her husband was member of the
House she did not mix to any degree in
the winter society of the capital. She
passed most of her time at home, super
vising the education of their children,
who were not sent to preparatory
school for college until recently. The
intense devotion she feels for her hus-
band and which the President in equal
measure reciprocates, can hardly be I'M
derstood by those who do not know both
we'll. | remember one evening, when
Mrs. Garfield was lying very dangerous
ly i'll at the White House, | sat upon
the south porch of the building with the
President. He had been watching the
greater part Of the two nights previous
and was badly worn. He began to talk
about his wife. | cannot repeat his ex-
act words, but they were of this import
Il think that, take her all in all, she
is made of the finest fibre of any woman
| ever saw. Her nerve and courage are
rarely found in one of her sex, and tc
think that she is lying upstairs possibly
dying and [ cannot save her. If
thought that her return to perfect health
could be insured by my reslgning the
Presidency l would not hesitate a mo
ment about doing it. Her life is thu
most precious thing to me on earth
Mr.. Konx continued: "She is now man
ifesting the same anxious devotion ant
care for him that he showed for her
She will not become i'll under the strait
either. for she is nerved up to the emer
gency and strong enough to bear tn
strain. t@

WHICH IS THE MANAGE

Guiteau, failing to get an Office, led
by disappointment and egotism, judged
that to shoot President Garfield would
be change of the Administration which
would be good for the country, and
would give him great celebrity and
probably immunity. Conkling. profess
ing an extreme stalwart adhesion to the
Republican party, because one not his
man was appointed to Office, broke his
representative trust, delivered the SEN
ate to the Democrats, declared war on,
the President, and showed his purpose
to do all in his power to defeat his Ad-
ministration, and as far as he can to put
him out of the way. And while he has
thus shown an unnatural desire to sup
press Presiden: Garfield, his only public
utterance upon the assassination was to
praise the Administration that Arthur
would make. Which of these. Guiteau
or Conkling, has acted the most unnat-
urally? Which shows the most uncon-
seriousness of the vast consequences to
others from the indulgence of his own
little selfish pursuit? Which of the
two is most like the mailman who would
pull down universal ruin on his own
head. because of the disappointment of
some caprice? And now, while the
President is hanging on the ragged edge,
Conkling is still struggling and conspir-
ing to get reelected upon his declaration
of hostility to the President; still keep
ing the Senate in Democratic hands
when he knows that if the chances turn
against the Presidents recovery the Sen.
ate will be convened to choose a Presi.
dent pro tem,, who, in case of Arthur's
taking off in the Presidency. would sue

The PROSTATE President.

Monday The President suffered
throughout the day from intense fever,
but notwithstanding this the physicians
say there is no cause for alarm. There
is a great deal of anxiety. however, in
the city, and eager crowds wait about
the bulletin boards to learn something
to quiet their apprehension. During
the day the President took twenty-five
ounces of milk, an ounce of rum, and
piece of milk toast, without any indica-
ton of gastric disturbance, and has slept
fairly we'll. Another period of great
anxiety in the Presidents case has been
safely passed. Saturday and Sunday
we're looked forward to all of last week
as critical days. What the physicians
were prepared to meet with and check
did not come. The fever incident to
suppuration is lower than was anticipat-
ed, and there has been developed abso-
lutely no symptom to cause apprehension.
The President slept well during the
night, and at a. m. there had been no
stir at the White House.
8 a. m. Upon being asked this fore
noon if the President was growing
stronger, DR.. Bliss impatiently asked !:
"How do you expect man to grow
strong on twelve ounces of liquid foo d a
day, pretty high fever and a drain of
a dangerous wound ? No, he is not
growing stronger. When the fever
leaves him, the wound is healed, and he
is eating twelve ounces of beefsteak
three times day he will get strong
again; but he is getting every day near
er to the time when he will be growing
stronger, and that is quite enough fol-
US to be thankful for. isn't it 2"

1850, when Robert Pate, once lieuten-
ant of hussars struck the Queen on the
face with stick, as she was leaving a
carriage. Pate received q sentence sim
liar to that of Hamilton. This can
hardly be classed as an attempt at as
sassination. 1t was a great indignity,
however, and none too severely dealt
with.
The sixth and final attempt on the
life Of Queen Victoria was as futile and
purposeless as the previous ones. 1t
was made by Arthur O'Connor, lad of
seventeen, who presented pistol at the
Queen as she was entering Buckingham
Palace from drive. The pistol was
not loaded, however. O'Connor received
twelve months Imprisonment and a
whipping, since which the Queen has
been exempt from similar attempts on
her life. .es. s.r..
Guiteau resembles the two first mis-
c1eants who attempted the life of the
Queen. but appears to be more deperate
than either. He is evidently more knav-
ish, more conceited and really more dan
gerous than either. His crime was more
deliberately planned and his purpose
more malignant. There was no missing
fire, for he had prepared his pistol fol
he had prepared his pistol for deadly
work. 1t was the act of man who is
an unusual combination Of malignant
knave and conceited fool, not wholly
sound in his mind, and yet sound enough
to be held rigidly responsible for MI
acts. He has wit enough to try to es
cape on the insanity dodge, but if he il
not vigorously and summarily dealt will
so far as the law will permit, it will b.
an act of clemency as mistaken as tina
which found Oxford insane instead o
responsible. rr

will approve this action, so that the gen.

confirmation. Mr.. Carpenter was born

terward read law in Bath and was admit

OTHER AssAssINs AND OURS.

1t is evident that Guiteau is both
knave and fool,-responsibIe and ire
sponsible both. He is a good deal like
several of the miscreants who have at
tempted the life of Victoria, one of the
most blameless of sovereigns, as Garfield
is certainly one of the most blameless of
Presidents. The first attempt on the
life of Victoria was made on June 10.
1910, by half-crazed youth of seven
teen, who seemed to have no other mo-
tive than notoriety. His name was Ok
ford, and he fired two shots as the Queen
was riding out, both of which, like the
two shots at Jackson, failed. He was
adjudgcd insane and was confined in a
lunatic asylum. The clemency shown
was thought to be mistaken, and it
doubtless was, this view being sustained
by the subsequent attempts on the
Queens life.
Two years after Oxford's attempt, an
other of precisely similar character
was made, while the Queen was riding
in the same place. The attempt was
made by John Francis. aged %, and
who seemed to he brazen braggart like
Guiteau. He gloried in his crime until
sentence of death was passed upon him,
and then he wilted. His sentence was
committed to transportation for life
This act of clemency, strange to say was
followed by another attempt on the
Queens life by a hunchback lad named
Bean, who presented pistol at th,
Queens carriage, but his arm was strucl
down before the trigger was pulled
The pistol was found to be only half
loaded. and Bean got off with eighteen
months Imprisonment
The next attack on the Queen was b
an Irish bricklayer named Hamilton
This was on May l9'z1849. The pisto
was only loaded with powder, and tn
miscreant was transported for seVe
years. The fifth attempt was made i
