The Public Feeling.
UNIVERSAL MANIFESTATIONS or ANXIETY AND
GRIBF.
AS each successive bulletin from the Whita
House yesterday announced the continued i'm
provement OF the President there was a general
feeling OF relief experienced. The anxiety ana
oread which had oppressed everybody gave
way before the continued good news, and feel
bg OF actual hope inspired the people. The
spoke hopefully. IL Is rather remarkable that
great many persons, scores, and. perhaps-
hunoreds OF them, adhere TO the same unshaken

Is ielt, ana Who Is so universally admired re-
spected ana revered by the people over whom
he has been called TO rule.
THE PRESIDENTS HEROIC CONDUCT
since he was shot has increased the national
respect for and confidence In him. He has
SHOWN that under all circumstances and condi-
uons ne is the same. With death staring him
IN the face, he is just exactly what he was
when In the full yigor OF splendid manhood. ON
every hand, In every way, and by gil sections or
the country, proofs OF the deep mold the Presi-
dent las upon the popular heart are abundant.
Hundreds OF persons from north, south. east
ana west have come to Washington since Sat-
urday In order that they may oe near enough
10 hear the first news. Every train brings new
arrivals. Crowds continually hang AROUND the
White House grounds, and every person who
comes out is eagerly asked for the latest news.
All through the night hundreds maintain their
position at the eastern gate OF the White House
'front.' through which visitors enter ana depart.
These crowds are entirely orderly. They talk
Ia low tones and keep back upon the lines
marked by the guard They ask the visitor
as he comes out for the --latest from the Presl-
dent" In quiet, respectful manner. Many OF

There Is no disposition among the people u
Indulge In pleasures OF any kind. Anxiety IS
Ia every household. The excursion trains left
the city to-day with but very few pleasure
seekers on board. In all the cities OF the
south public meetings have been held and reso-
lutions expressing the greatest admiration for
the President, and hope OF his recovery have been
adopted. The feeling In that section is, as one
leading paper expresses It. that the assassin
struck at the nations heart when he shot down
the nations President No ruler has ever more
completely won the affections Of his people than
President Garfield.

THE TRIBUNE ON THE INVESTIGATION.

must be conducted with the greatest secrecy,
lest the ends or Justice should be thwarted by
an untimely exposure OF threads OF circum-
stantial evidence leading TO other persons IL
any such threads have been found. We must
be content with the knowledge that the work
OF investigation is In skillful and ludcious
hands. Attorney General MacYeagh Will probe
the dastardly crime 70 the bottom. Thus far,
there is nothing OF public knowledge 20 war
rant the suspicion that the assassin had aber-
tors or confidants, and we may reasonably hope
that when the whole truth is known It will
show that the responsibility for the Infamous
and cruel DEEDS rest with hiQ alone.
NOT VICTIM OF A POLITICAL ACT.
The Herald says: "When the nation is
tranquil and politics quiet, James A. CARRIED,
man without a personal enemy and Presi-
dent without an il-wisher, falls by the
hand OF mailman. But, except so
far as the deed OF a mOnomanlac acting
alone is political matter, the President was no
more the victim OF political act on Saturday
than he would have teen had he suffered q sun
stroke or had met With serious accident on the
train which was waiting 10 carry him IN search
OF needed rest and recreation; while &c would
have been just as rational or Irrational for
Guiteau 10 have shot down the president OF
western bank who refused 10 lend him twenty
five thousand dollars TO buy Chicago daily"
BETTER AVOID SUCH TERRIBLE LANGUAGE.
