The attempt of steamship company to OBJ
tain Collector Merrtt's arrest upon a criminal
complaint because of acts performed by him
in his official capacity was a curious and qucs-
tionable proceeding, and the District Attorney
plainly did right in calling upon the Collector
for an explanation before approving the issu-
ance of warrant. The opportunity afforded
the Collector was an unusual one, of course,
in criminal proceedings, but it was clearly
justifable one in view of the Collectors posi-
ton and the nature of the charge. General
Merrtts offence was that, in accordance with
the law, the Attorney Generals opinions and
the general and specific instructions of the
Treasury Department., he refused to allow
certain steamer to sail until certain smuggling
fines had been paid, or deposited until the con-
troversy over them had been determined. If
the steamship company had suffered any in
jury, the remedy was clearly by civil suit, and
the resort to criminal proceedings, charging
"neglect of duty and extortion," looks like an
act of petty malice.
The water Drained editors and politicians
who have been so eager to give away the whole
case against Guiteau by screaming that he is
nothing but an irresponsible maniac" are re-
Quested to read the letter in relation to the
HHtltcI WHICH We pIl1t uO-utV from one OIL the
most eminent jurists and public men in this
country. He reviews the subject in q cool and
judicial spirit, and goes even beyond
THE TRIBUNE in asserting that the negative
propositiOn-that Guiteau is not insane-can be
sustained from the facts already known. AS
sassination is of course horrible and revolving
thing, and there is natural shrinking of the
mind from the acknowledgment that any sane
man can be guilty of it. But it is pusilani-
NOUS to cry out whenever great crime is
committed that the criminal is insane If we
do not want to encourage the breed of Gui-
teaus we must punish them; and this foolish
sentiment which is unwilling to admit the ex-
istence of great depravity, and so takes refuge
in the hackneyed presumption of insanity, will
go far to make any punishment impossible
Guiteau was monster of wickcdness but he
was sane enough to plot murder with consum-
mate skill and address he was sane enough to
know what he was doing and why he was doing
it; and if twelve jurymen can be found with
brains enough to withstand this maudin talk
about his irresponsible Madness" the sequel
will prove that he is sane enough to receive
the full penalty of the law

Mr.. Garnet, the new Minister to Liberia,
takes sanguine view of the prospects of the
country to which he is accredited. In the talk
we print to-day he gives his reasons for be
iieving that the future of Africa is of great
Importance to America, not only in the gen
eral interests OF civilization, whose chief seat
Mir. Garnet predicts will be upon the dark
continent, but for commercial reasons.

There seems to be practically no change to
record in the Presidents condition. The last
official bulletin makes his state as encouraging
as it has been at any time. There are still
dangers in the way, whose. existence has been
clearly recognized at all times by the public
as well as the physicians, but he has survived
many already, and strong hope is entertained
that his powerful physique and firm purpose
will carry him through those that remain.

The steady gain in the Presidents strength
makes the dangerous contingency involved in
the accession OF the Vice-President, with no
President OF the Senate or Speaker to take his
place in case of need, happily less threatening
than it appeared at one time. But the posi-
bIity still exists, and the necessity of prompt
provision against disastrous consequences, in
case of the Presidents death, is as clear as
ever. A letter from a well-knOwn lawyer of
this city, which we PRINT on another page,
reviews the law on the subject, and applies it
to the present situation.

inches long and hollow, the wOrkmen placed
:. slip Of paper containing their names. Mr..

and Charles Tucker, who worked at the
very top OF the stecple and put the ball
and weather vane inplace and Fredcr lex
Miller, John Miller and John Hickey W ho
worked on the swinging scalfold.
The big ball shines like the sun. In Gle
waiting it to it's place it was covered with
cotton laps and canvass to prevent it from
being injured. The steeple looks very
pretty in its new coat of paint.

Joseph Hughes, engineer, whose duty is
to run the grinding mill as we'll as the
engine, says he was in the mill at the time
the fire broke out in the boiler house. He
don't know how it originated, but prob
ably a spark from the furnace was thrown
out and ignited some cork shavings that
were in fhe room.
On his return to the room it was in flames
and there was no means at hand to save
it. The main building was set on fire by
sparks entering the open windows in the
rear. The cork burned SO rapidly that the
flames had made great headway almost
before an alarm could be given.
