George Cofkhill, the distinguished United States
District Attorney for the District Of Columbia, 70
Gently at Congress Hall, Cape May, is reported
10 the Record as stating that if the President
should die, Guiteau would never be tried, because
he would be killed the moment Le is seen In pub
lic and that II would be 'mpo ssible to punish the
avenger. This admission Is deplorlblc, no mat
ter how logical, and suggests other dangerous al
crnatives.-Fornsy's Progrs''.
Well, that is expected, From what
transpired in bis prison cell the other
day we wonld not be surprised if ho
breatbos his last in prison, Guiteau is
not alone IN this attempt to assassinate
President Garfield. There are others
who know all about it, and the assasain
will never be allowed to give the
names Of the other conspirators to the
public. These ungodly men have mum.
orous precedents in history, showing
how Kings Queens aud Emperors
were bastened out of the way, and the
chief murderer died from having taken
poison in order TO shield his conieder-

the shooting of Gulteau in the depot

RULE FIFTH Our party friends will
take notice that In accordance with
che Acts of Assembly passed at the
last session, Rule Fifth must be amend.
ed or changed to fit up to the law on
the subject Of holding Primary clcc.
tions. The Legislature contomplates
the formation of regular election
board-Judge, two Inspectors and two
Clerks-all to be qualified the same as
at q general election. To fit up TO the
law OF the State, our party rules must be
adjusted accordingly. The Act of AS
sembly cOntemplates that each Primary
Board be composed of n Judge, two
Inspectors and two Clerks. This will
add two additional members TO the Wig.
ilanoe Committee in every election dis
trict. Rule Fifth now constitutes a
Committee of three, the member Of the
County Committee to serve as Judge,
and the other two members to act as
Inspectors but under the rule the
Board is without Clerks. In our judg.
ment the change will be decided

it stands upon the statute books ofthe

THE SURRENDER COMPLETE

The New York Ecaing Post, which
has hitherto coquetted with the Ma.
hone movement in Virginia, has evil
IDENTIFY become alarmed At the com
plete surrender Of the party in that
State. 1t says; "Thc surrender OF the
Republicans of Virginia ia the Read
justers seems to be complete. For the
present the drin toward coalition is
too strong 10 be resisted, A power
ful impulse was given to the move
ment by the Republican members of
the United States Senate and by
many Northern Republican ncwspa
pers, They were ready, for the sake
of the chance Of breaking the solid
Democratic majorities of the South,
and in consideration of the promise Of
q iair vote for the colored men, TO form
an alliance with the local faction whose
cardinal principle, if it may be called
one, was repugnNnt to the profess
ed doctrine Of the Republican party
throughout the country. This policy
appears for the moment plausible, and
rather that than statesmanlike, but it
is too late to arrest its consequences,
The immediate result seems to be an
end to the Republicans in Virginia as
separate organization and living
political force. The coalition will be
dominated by General Malone. He
has invited the Republicans not to
come and rule over him, but to come
and be ruled by him, and the invita-.
ton has been accepted without quail.
ication. He may permit them to pre-.
serve their committee, to tack their
name to that of the Readiusters and
to play at management, but that he
will be the master spirit of the cOnsoli-
dated party no one will venture to
deny. Byeand.bye Malone may find
it necessary to 60 over to the National
Republicans, but for the time being
the Virginia Republicans have gone
over to Malone, without any apparent
prospect of recovering their original
identity. The adoption OF his candi.
dates involves practically the adoption
of his plRtiorm."

TROUBLE AMONG THE
DOCTORS

The Harrisburg Patriot remarks:
ExSurgeon General William A.
Hammond, of New York; has written
a letter in which be takes strong
ground against the course pnrsued by
President Garfeld's attending sur.
gcons. After entirely exculpating
Drs. Hamilton aud Agnew from any
connection with the alleged malprac.
tice, DR.. Hammond arraigns the sur.
goons on seven counts for the mistakes
which were, in his opinion, committed
within the past forty.eight hours, the
principal among which are he main.
tains Neglect TO make a thorough
exploration Of the track of the wound
and TO locate the position of the bullet /;
neglect TO remove the fragments Of
clothing and of bone which afterwards
caused such great suffering neglect
to extract the ball while the strength
of the patient was at its maximum
and before the track had been partially
closed by theswelling of the soft parts /;
treating the case from the first from
the standpoint OF guesswork, instead
OF from actual facts gained by thorough
and intelligent exploration neglect TO
give exit TO pus that bad collected and
10 pieces of fractured ribs till the con.
sulting surgeons bad arrived from
Philadelphia and New York, when
DIR. Agnew did what was proper; be.
ing from the first overweigbted with a
sense of responsibility, owing to the
fact that the patient was the President
of the United States.
The doctor then ventures the opin-
ion that a truckman similarly wound.
ed and treated at first class hospital
by any one Of several surgeons named,
wonld receive more energetic and sue
cessiul treatment than has been given
to the head OF the Nation. He con.
cludes as follows "The ilustrious
sufferer, after thirty,fve days, still lies
on bis back, and each day with almost
the regularity Of cloek.work his fever
appears, and yet the bulletins tell us
the surgeons are satisfied Is it pos.
sible they do not know the import of
this daily disturbance OF pulse and

there can be but one termination and
yet do not see how anything they

TIE STATE EIECNTIHE

rhe Easton Sentinel man records the
following;
The following rather rough story is
told on Governor Hoyt, in connection
with the royiew OF the First Brigade
Of the National Guard, which was re.
Gently in camp at Pottstown. We
were not present and cannot vouch
for tho truth Of the story aud there
fore only y give it as il comes tous. We
are told that at the grand review tho
Governor aud Major General Hart.
ranlt rode into tho field together
Every body knows what magnificent
horseman the Maior.General il. II
may not be so widely known, but il is
nevertheless fact that His EXcellency
graces any other position in life full as
well as that Of an equestrian. In other
words Gov. Hoyt is an amateur in
horsemanship. As the two rode along
the line together the Governors pant
aloon legs showed a natural incllna.
ton to JON hands with his necktic.
As the springs on the bottoms had
adjusted themselves carefully over the
cap Of the Gubernatorial knees, the
Major. General looked askance and sug.
gested that Hoyt ought TO pull down
his pants. To this proposition the
Governor so far assented as to admit
that the pants were out al place, but
he protested the impossibiIlty OF per.
forming the services and guiding the
horse at the same time. However,
an aid ,de-camp who was present vol
unteered TO coax the breecbes down to
their normal position, and for that
purpose disnonnted from bis own fiery
and untamed steed. While performing
the service he also discovered that one
OF the many reasons for the unreason.
able behaviour of the pantaloons was
that the stirrups were hung too low.
To remedy the trouble the Guberna
torial corns were Withdrawn from tho
strrup. Then TO further facilitate
the remedial measures His Exccllency
was told to lean over and forward.
This be did, when too much weight
having been thrown on the other side,
bis saddle turned and the Governor
was preciptatcd under the heels of
his famous war borse. With great
agility he recovered his leet and at
once proceeded to remount Whether
from excitement incident 10 the fall or
because ofa recent change Of beverage
will probably never be fully known,
but the fact is that he placed the wrong
foot IN tie stirrup and mounted with
his face toward the wrong end OF the
horse.
