THE END THOUGHT TO BE NEAR.


 Meanwhile the Cabinet were all at the White House, and some of their ladies were with Mrs Garfield. There was a deep feel ing of gloom with them. Hope had almost forsaken them when the contents of the evening bulletin were learned In converse ton with the doctors they learned that the situation was growing more and more grave and they were given to understand that change must come soon. In fact one of l the members stated afterward that they were | told that if a change for the better did not come within twenty-four hours the worst might be expected The Cabinet and their | ladies all left at 10:30. Before leaving, Sec retary Blaine sent the early cablegram to MT. Lowell the plain facts of which were very significant of the general feeling The Sec retary of State had no more to say after he | left the house Secretary Windom had tears | in his eyes as he escorted his wife to their carriage In answer to an inquiry he re- piled, sTt is bad enough, tell you.o Sec retary Hunt said, tI don't know any more l than you do." Secretary Kirkwood said, ssWe think the President will not recover. :"
 Postmaster General James, whose hope has 1 been the strongest, couldn't 'tspeak for emotion. Secretary Lincoln said, s'The end looks near" Attorney General McVeagh said, ''It l is turning out as feared, and it won't be long, fear, now The only hope lies in the effect of nourishment in the next few hours. !" Thus were the official family almost convinced that the end was near. All went home and to bed, but most left messages to bring news of any change during the night Drs. Ham ilton, Woodward and Barnes went out during the night, and did not come back. After the increased anxiety it was known, that they could not be seen for purposes of an inter view, as they had retired for the night.

letter to New Orleans paper in reference to
the recent assassination of his son, which he
closes thus: ssI have as much interest in the
prosperity of Louisiana as any one, and in
having immigrants come here. But we can
not change facts by denying their existence.
A system of peonage and terrorism exists
here which, if tolerated much longer, will de-
populate the parish. [ and my sons, as Re
publicans, have been opposed to this, and we
have, therefore, incurred the displeasure of

licans, crimes against them can be committed
with impunity, and therefore they are en-
