POLITICAL MURDERERS.
Germany Anxious to Arrnnge with
other Powers for their EXtraditiOn,

LONDON, Sept. 22.---The German gov
ernment has determined to do all in it's,
power to secure punishment of men who
make attempts upon the lives of heads of
governments, and with this object it has
reopened negotiations looking toward
the extradition of such criminals. Its
object is to obtain an international
agreement for the extradition of any
one who shall kill, or attempt to kill, any
ruler or minister of any government; and
to brush away to this extent the dis
tinction that has hitherto been made be-
tween political offences and other crimes
and by which so many criminals have
heretofore been able to find safety by
merely crossing a frontier. The assas-
sination of President Garfield, following
so quickly upon the murder of the Gar.
and the repeated attempts which have
recently been made upon the lives of
Emperor William, King Humbert, King
Alfonso and Prince Bismarck is thought
by the German government to have
awakened the minds of statesman of
every country to the importance of the
step which it now is preparing to urge.
Prince Bismarck does not propose to ask
that fugitives who have confined their
reasonable designs to words or even to
acts not involving murder or attempt at
murder shall come within the proposed
treaty, but he proposes to ask all the
governments to consent that the murder
er of a king or minister shall be sur
rendered up just as the murderer of a
peasant would be.

A Beautiful Tribute to the Dead Presi-
dent.

AUGUSTA, Ca, Sept. 20.-The Chroni-
Gle and Constitutionalist says: with
anguish we announce that the worst
fears have been confirmed, and James a,
Garfield, President of the United States,
is dead. By the hand of most despica-
BILE scoundrel, whom it would be a
stretch of charity to call madman, this
great and good President, this fond hus-
band, this loving father, this noble gen.
tleman, has been slain. Strange that the
bullets of brave foreman should have in
fair fight spared him for such fate.
Sad, indeed, is 1t, that such a glorious
being-so useful, SO powerful, SO manly,
SO excellent, should become the victim
Of so vile a wretch. To God we leave
vindication and the ends of Justice. The
heart of the South bleeds for the strick-
en- mother and wife and children of the
President. Upon his dead body we lay
an immortelle, a wreath of truest sorrow
and regret. Innocent Of the murder of
Lincoln, the South suffered long years of
agony and persecution for another's
crime. Innocent of the assassination Of
Garfield, the South, fearless of the fu-
ture, and forgetful of the past, stands
tearfully beside the relics Of the Presi-
dent and prays that his storm-tossed
spirit shall have the rest of the righteous
and sanctuary in that eternal heaven

On Monday, Sept. 26th inst, the NOR

What may be the general effect upon
the campaign in Ohio of the change in
national affairs, occasioned by the death
the late President, no one at present can
tell. Gov. Foster has certainly been one
OF the most obnoxious of the time-serv-
ing Half Breeds, from the day when he
betrayed Chamberlain and Packard, in
order to purchase Southern acquiescence
in the Hayes fraud, to the elimination
of his offences in the great struggle aft
Chicago.
But one thing is very clear. V.hather

was mas.ap q pare atty recovering, Gov. Foster
T.; pai az Ia himself as his next and dearest
lend, and with the most indecent inso-
fience he endeavored to define the issue
in the present campaign as an issue be-
tween Guiteau and Garfield, Yet when
the President lay in the agony Of those
last deadly chills and tho end was al
ready visible, and the Democratic mana
gers proposed to suspend the scramble
for the Ohio offices until that eris;s
should have passed, Coy. Fosters uana-
gers refused--a most brutal exhibition OF
politics.
Foster has labored by every device to
turn tie late Presidents misfortune to
his own account; but now even he can IN No ~
long raise the ridiculous plea of"Gar-
field or Guiteau." He can only plead for
Foster as against man who. in the
midst of the life. and death struggle Of
the late President, proposed to hush the
political clamor of his native State.-M

AN EARTHQUAKE SCARE.
Shocks that Lasted Ten Minutes
People Panic Stricken,

CINCINNATI, Sept. 91.-Despatch from
Newmon states that that place and the
neighboring country have been thrown
into state of intense excitement by sew
eral severe shocks of earthquake which
visited that region last night. The shocks
followed each other in quick succession
and lasted fully ten minutes. During
this time which seemed hours rather
than minutes, the utmost CONSERVATION
prevailed among the inhabitants. The
negroes were all panic-stricken and act
ed as If they thought their last hour had
come. Houses were badly shaken, their
movable contents knocked about, chim-
neys thrown down and other damage
done, though there was no loss of life.
The people have not yet got over their
fright, as they fear another visitation,
with possibly more serious results.

What Next!

The Republican State Executive Com
mittee are busily circulating infamous,
damanble, secret circulars, which show
the hopelessness Of the Republican cause
and the utter depravity Of its leaders.
Joseph Walton, Chairman of the Ma
tional-G -Greenback-L Labor State Commit
tee, received, through some Republican
blunder, a copy of this brutal circular
by mail. The following clause is suffi.
cient to show its character and purpose:
'That noble specimen of true Ameri-
can patriotism and craftsmanship, James
A. Garfield, in the discharge of the trust
imposed upon him by the Republicans
of the nation, has been stricken down by
the hand of sneaking assassin, and now
lies at the point of death, martyr to
the spirit of revenge, undoubtedly in
stigated in large degree by the wick
edly coarse and brutal attack made upon
his character by the Democratic party
during the campaign last year"

ED. NORTHWEST The memorial SER
vices of the Union Schools on Monday
last were known of by SO few of our citi-
zens, and were so extemporaneous in their
character, that but few outside Of the pu-
pills, teachers and superintendent, and
those who participated, were present. Yet
they were so interesting and impressive
as to merit a passing notice. l-....
At 8 o'clock, the usual hour of opening
school, the scholars met in their respective
rooms and were each furnished with a
neat mourning badge by their teacher.
They were then quietly marched to the
school hall in the third story OF the build
ing, which was tastefully draped for the
occasion, and seated in an orderly manner.
The services were opened by fervent
and eloquent prayer by Rev. Ames, in
which he spoke feelingly of the nation's
loss, and invoked the blessings of God on
the bereaved mother, widow and children
of our lamented President. Then follow
ed a rendering of the favorite hymn of Mr..
Garfield, entitled, "Ho, reapers of Life's
Harvest" &C., by Mr.. and Mrs. Luce, Mrs.
Miller and Mrs. Knupp, who had kindly
volunteered their services for the occasion.
Miss May Wilson then read in clear,
intelligent manner an extended biograph-
lCdl Sh6tcn Ol Lue uI0 dIlu cndraCC0r OF FroS-
ident Garfield. After singing "Nearer My
God to Thee," Miss Nellie Lemert recited
a poem entitled "Memroy," written by
Gen. Garfield 2l years ago. Then follow
ed the singing of that beautiful song, ".In
the sweet by and by" in which the Whole
school joined. After which Miss Amelia
Frease recited an original memorial poem,
written by Mrs. Avery, of Cleveland, in a
very impressive manner. The poem is q
beautiful one and lost none of its beauty
or pathos in being recited by so perfect
an elocutionist as Miss Frease. ~ 81.
The exercises then closed by singing the
doxology, in which all joined, and the
little ones were dismissed, retiring in
most perfect order. .''
1t was a simple but fitting tribute tc
one who had done so much for the cause
of popular education, and of whose valu.
able life so large portion was devoted tc
the noble work of instilling knowledge in
to these young minds.
Much credit is due,to Prot Williamson
and his able corps of teachers for the per
feet manner in which the exercises were
conducted. @

I see that some of the papers are try

OF this city, by representing that he is an
enemy of the Irish people. l know that
this is just the other extle eme from the
truth, and think it only right that I
should make the following statements:
February, 1880, when Charles Stewart
Parnell, the well known Irish agitator,
visited this country, he stopped day
(about February 20,) in this city, and
funds were raised for the distressed peo-
pie OF the old country. About week af-
ter Parnell's visit here John w. Book.
walter wrote me from New York CITY
that funds were being raised there for
the Irish people, and that he had con.
trlbuted small sum Of money, but that
Springfield being his home, he would
rather give to the cause here. He sent
me check for 800, saying that he had
perfect confidence in my integrity and
Judgment, and he wanted me to dispose
of it just as l thought best.
In this letter and good one it was
too, he expressed the greatest sympathy
| for the distressed poor of Ireland, and
both regretted and resented their oppress
| ion. Among other kind things, he SAID
that the happiest hours of his life had

DIR. BoYNToN ON THE AUTOPSY.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-The rumors as
to the concealment of essential facts at
the autopsy at Long Branch have been
confirmed, at least in part, by statements
recently made by DR.. Boynton. The sto.
ry is that the report of the autopsy con-
cealed many facts which tended to even
further discredit the attending surgeons,
This is said TO be particularly true as to
the proofs of extensive blood poisoning
and the assesses on the lungs. 1t has
been learned that when the knife struck
the lungs they were found to be full OF
pus and the small pus points forming the
metorstatic abscess. DR.. Boynton is re.
ported as having said that the President
might have been saved by different treat
ment.
