boldly ss to the crime, and have not
been afraid to cay what were the
causes that led up to its perpetraticn.
We condense below the sentiments OF
some Of the leading journals on the
attempted assassination, its causes
and effects. The New Yorg Express
says: There Is only one party in
America, in view OF such a crime, as
this cOuntry is not large enough for
political assassins to live in" The
New York Commercial: "This crime
threatens tie existence OF the nation,
and reduces the free. intelligent, en-
lightened republic OF she world to q
level with the South American Con
federation, or the Russian autocfacy.
Whoever the perpetrators
may be, high or low, rich or poor,

He ia very rational Office beggar. He
is one of a large class Of citizens who
have been educated by American poll

no individual person could set up any
claim, but as the spoils of success. to be
partly claimed as rewards by persons
who have contributed by their efforts to

Immediately in the rear OF the pulpit,

fine performer, was not remarkable for
great presence of mind, and was easily
disconnected. The hour for afternoon
service had arrived, and, though the
organist was in his piace,. the choir had
not arrived. BY some. mishap, also,
the key of the. organ; had been mis-
placed. The minister, not knowing
these facts, slowly and soiemnly arose,
and, after announcing hymn and read
ing it through, took his seat. There

choir. Silence reigned supreme. Time
passed on. The minister and congre-
