MARYvILLE, Tenn, Sept. 81, 1881.
Mr.. EDITOR: 1 remember the Monday
after President Lincoln was assassinated.
was a soldier then, while our command
was encamped at Pulaski, Tenn We did
not hear the sad news until the day before.
General R. w. johnson, who was COM
manding there, issued orders that the next
day (NIonday) should be observed as Sab
bath. At sunrise gun was fired. The
deepest expressions of sorrow were plainly
to be observed on the face of all. No noise
or disturbance could be heard or seen among
soldiers or citizens. The heavens joined
in the sad solemnity of the occasion. There
was scarcely breeze disturbed the quiet
elements The run rose in her majesty, in
a clear blue sky. All was quiet and APP
peared to feel as if in the presence of the
dead At each half hour during the day, a
gun was fired The sound reared out, and
reverberating from the surrounding hills,
trembling on the air, growing fainter and
fainter until the muttering roar died away
in the distance Such sad day! It can
only be remembered in sorrow.
This day is reminder of that one. Yes
terday evening, when the news of President
Garfeld's death came, the sad faces de-
picted the sadder hearts within. Business
houses were Immediately draped in black.
This morning all was still and quiet-almost
as Sabbath. The students at Maryville Col
lege were called to their morning devotions
after which study and recitation were sus-
pended for the day, while no sports or exer-
cises are engaged in. The death of the be-
loved Garfield is the topic of conversation.
Little crowds are seen here and there en-
gagged in low conversation. The loss of one
SO universally beloved by all, of every party
or class, saddens the heart, while fears as to
the future are freely expressed. Business
is transacted to some extent, but in a calm,
solemn manner, SO expressive that it will

never be forgotten. The ways of Provi-
dence are mysterious to us. Why the lives
of rulers SO dearly beloved as Lincoln and
Garfield are permitted to be taken when
they are apparently at the zenith of their
usefulness, and that, too, at the hands of
such vile and contemplate assassins as Booth
and Guiteau, is more than we can under
stand
The Lord is ruler over all, and to him let
us commit the destiny of our nation.

LA INQUIRE COUNTY AGAIN.

Mr.. Well. received a letter from
Gov. Ordway Yesterday, written
from New Hampshire under date of
Aug. %, in which His Excellency
acknowledges the receipt Of Mr..
Wells letter Of the 18th inst, con-
cerning the error in the commissions
for the commissioners of La Moure
county, and states that it was cler.
ical error, as the records at Yankton
show that the commissions do not
expire until 1882. The Governor
approves Mr.. Wells course in with
holding them, and requests that they
be returned to him at Yankton for
correction, which was done yester-
day. Thus the ventilation of the
subject has resulted in the complete
vindication of Mr.. Wells, SO far as
the commissions are concerned, as the
Alert anticipated it would do in the
beginning. The,people Of La Moure
county should be satisfied by this
time that they have no more constant
friend, or one who is doing more for
them than Mr. Wells.

The Fargo Fair.

The exposition begins Oil the 18th
day of September and lasts four days
September 18th, 18th, 18th and
l6th-will undoubtedly be attended
by thousands and thousands. From
all parts Of the world visitors will
come to see with their own eyes
what Dakota, and more especially
the world famed Red River Valley,
actually can produce. Here will be
exhibited the various products of
the soil; the agriculturist, the stock
raiser, the gardener will each and
every one bring of their riches. The
various lines OF industry and business
will be represented, even the belle
arts will offer their tribute, in short,
every thing and every body will
strive to the utmost to make this first
fair of Dakota an eventful epoch in
the history Of the territory.
Our territorial governor will come
a thousand miles through Dakota,
Iowa and Minnesota, to attend this
fair, and even general Grant himself
has tclegraphed from New York that
he will come to this our grand expo
sition. We need hardly add that
thousands of our own countrymen,
whose energetic and unceasing work
in high degree has contributed to
,nske Dakota what she is to-day,
will both visit the fair, and be found
among the exhibitors.
Go to the fair all who possibly can
and take your families along; give
your wives and children at least one
day of joy and cheer after all the
hard work ot the year.-Argus.

Vice President Arthur,

Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
An army officer Of prominence
who is a warm personal friend of
Vice President Arthur says it is
among the possibilities that the lat
ter may, in case of General Gar
fields death, refuse to accept the
Office of president except for pe'
riod long enough to provide for the
choice of a republican successor.
Of course he would not yield the
Office to any democrat. This gen.
tleman says that very few people
in the country understand Gen.
Arthur's feelings on this subject.
He has said repeatedly during his
visit to Washington that nothing
had ever been farther from his
thoughts at any time during the
canvass and in the past, prior to
the assassination, than the thought
that he ever could, by any possibil-
ity, become president. He has
never had the desire. 1t is a posi-
ton to which he was not elected,
and coming as it does, the honor
would be an extremely unfortunate
one. Throughout the country
there is, among a certain class of
people, feeling that General Ar
thur is in some way responsible for
the act of Guiteau. Absurd and
outrageous as is the coupling of
General Arthu name with that
of the miserable assassin, it is de-
clared that there is enough feeling
in the country to make Mr.. Arthur
dread very much to succeed Gen.
Garfield. Coming into office under
such circumstances, with strong
prejudice throughout the country,
and popular feeling running high,
MIR. Arthur sincerely believes that
almost every act of his would have
to encounter such a cloud of preju-
dice that his life would be one of
mental torture and discomfort. The
vice e-presideut's friends is certain
that Mr.. Arthur if he became presi-
dent, would would be conservative,
and that he would not make single
change in the cabinet until such
things might be brought about ma
turally.
