THE NATIONS HORROR.

One Of the most deplorablr calam
tiles that ever belel the United
States was the attempted assassina-
tion Of President Garfield on Satur-
day morning last by half crazy fan
attic named Guitteau. The wretch
fired two shots at the President, one
taking effect in the right arm and
the other entering the body of the
victim, between The tenth and elev-
enth ribs, near the kidneys. The
latter has been lying at the point Of
death ever since, with varying lndl>
cations, while the would be assassin
occupies cell in a Washington pris-
on and expresses the wish that his
victim may die. This event has
plunged the nation into an agony OF
suspense and gloom to be compared
only to that experienced when Lin
coin, the martry president, surren-
dered his life victim to- the unholy
passion of an actor. The suspense
has been so great, and such keen
anxiety is felt. that bulletins an
nouncing the Presidents condition
have been telegraphed every hour,
day and night, since the awful trag-
edy. Since Monday evening there
have been gradually growing symp-
toms for the better, and people are
beginning to breath freer on account
of strong hopes now entertained
that the wound may not prove fatal.
Universal horror and Indignation are
expressed, and kilograms of sympa'
thy have been constantly pouring in
at the capitol, from every state in
the Union and from nearly every
government in the civilized world.
The inhuman act is everywhere re-
garded as one of the most atrocious
and deplorable crimes that ever
blackened the annals of history.
President Garfield is admired by
friend and foe alike, for his manly
independence, courage in the per
formanee of duty, and the grand
craftsmanship that marked his brill
liant career in congress and promised
such a successful administration of
the executive powers of the nation.
1t is fervently hoped that he may be
spared by kind Providence to car
ry out his war on corruption OF every
form in high places. At present
writing, all is cheerful expectation,
and should no relapse occur, he will
recover rapidly.

THE FOURTH AT sE0UlM.

The following communication was
left on our table yesterday, and is
inserted just as we found it:
"Among other celebrations of the
4th inst, the one held on Sequim
Prairie will long be pleasantly re-
membered by those who assisted
thereat. The weather was siust
lovely ESQ young lady friend OBJ
served) and the many vehicles gaily
rolling over the broad meadows to.
ward the grounds, loaded with the
beauty and patriotism of Clalam
county, gave life and animation to
the scene such as the broad vistas
and silent groves had never before
looked on. After the reading of the
Declaration came the Grafton by Mr..
Weir. This was an able production,
and full of patriotic thoughts and
suggestions. Mr.. Garfield also made
few remarks, and then the pleased
crowd repaired to the we'll loaded
table which the housewives of Se-
quinn bad covered with the tempting
viands, and where every stranger was
made to feel at home. In fact, we
cannot say enough in praise of the
genuine, unaffected hospitality of our
friends of Clalam county. To qp.
preciate it one must visit that sec
tion and get acquainted with those
good people. On this occasion the
"committe on refreshments" distin~
guished themselves, and to them and
their care the hungry crowd owe
many thanks. The scene was really
one of gay animation; here were two
old friends meeting after long separ-
alton; there, rustic youth waiting
on log full' of smiling damsels;

enough TO go to Dungeness, and, at

we will say that no one car beat Mr..
Clapp in open handed hospitality, or
care for the wants of guests. He is
certainly an Incompatible host, and,
on leaving for Townsend, the crowd
so expressed themselves, and gave
Frank and Clalam county three
cheers.
Perhaps there were moro preten-
tious celebrations, with much larger
crowds, and bands of music, &C.,
but we hardly think that any better
pleased crowd attended them than
that which went from Townsend TO
Sequim and Dungeness to spend the

MONDAYS ELECTION.

Every good citizen recognizes a
duty to the public in selecting repre-
sentatives of the people who will
not only comprehend the needs of
their constituents, but will unflinch-
ingly devote their energies to what
seems best for the welfare of all,
without regard TO the likes or dis
likes of any. Next Monday q .rnu-
nicipal election will take place in
Port Toapsends sTand, while the town
Is a small one, its needs are just as
important as those of more preten.
,ious corporations. Nay, more-be-
cause any town needs wise leading
in its infancy, to get STARTED ar,ght,
more than it does after the machin-
cry OF government have got accus-
toned to regular grooves through
long period of usage, when preced-
ent decides the action Of officials
more than originality of manage.
ment.
The retiring members of the
Council are: Messrs. N. D. Hill, D.
G. Fl. Rothschild and A. II. Tucker.
They have served the public faith
fully and we'll, but decline re-elec-
ton. We recommend that citizens
meeting be called at Fowler's Hall
to morrow evening. in order to get
an expression of the preference of
the people for the offices to be filled.
For Couneilmen, the requisites are,
or ought to be: 1st, property hold
ers; I'd, men whose business integ-
rity and qualifications render them
safe custodians of public veal; Sd,
men of sound Judgment and fore
sight; 4th, men who can and will
attend to their duties, if elected, to
the best of their ability. II re-
oommendation is in order, we would
suggest the names of Messrs. j. G..
Ginger, F. w. James and A. Wey-
mouth. They are all men of 2robity,
integrity and practical ability.
Messrs. James and Ginger have
both served heretofore, with distinc
tion to themselves and credit to the
town. They are useful members,
when in Office, and would zealously
guard the interests of all concerned.
Mr.. Weymouth. although not an old
resident of the place, is as much
identified with it's interests as any.
His general qualifications are such
as TO afford sure guaranty of faith
ful and efficient performance of his
duties should he be chosed by the
people. or course there are other
worthy citizens here who would do
credit to any town. in official capaci
ty, but not all can be chosen; so we
present these gentlemen, merely
suggesting the propriety of nomn-
ating them. As to Marshal, we can
only say, that Mr.. Finn is willing to
be continued in Office, and his eff
cheney in the past insures the faith
full performance of his duties in the
future. He is careful, faithful off
Ger, and the city cannot afford TO run
the risk involved in changing their
selection. For Mayor, we have no
recommendation whatever. The of
fee is more for an ornamental figure
head than for anything else. 1t mat
ters little who is elected, so that we
have pleasant, sensible, represen-
,ative citizen of good judgment,
who will impar,ially preside over the
deliberations of the council and take
a lively interest in the welfare of the
city. DR.. Minor has given general
satisfaction, we believe, but says he
does not desire reelection.
