er, and it was just as legitimate to be in the
lobby as in that kind of craftsmanship. The
condition of our frontier States put personal
iobbery and the public service in very close re-
lation with each other. The big contractor
or Indian trader is eventually sent to the Sem
ate.
Bill King kept making senator's and COVER
nors, and defeating congressman by the aid of
his newspaper and his activity, until the fool
to Congress and be great man. He took mp
the Pacific Mail scheme, helped disburse a
million or two of money among members and
senator's, and then an investigation was order
ed which threw King into the hands of the
lawyers, who plundered him, and his magnif-
cent cattle and splendid barns had to 60, and
at last he came down to bedrock again, start
ing slightly wiser man for another fortune.
Yet out OF the debris of all this intrigue
energies Secretary of the Treasury Window
very possibly pure man all the time, though
not exactly a reformer. The influences which
pressed Window into the cabinet are open to
some suspicion in this city. They are, how
ever, similar influences t, those which have
always sustained Sherman, and which were be-
hind Chase.
Window was the bone of contention in the
new Cabinet 1t was moderately easy to fill
every other place but the treasury, and there
was the hitch. While unquestionably some
of the biggest jobbers around Washington
were Window men, it was hard to lay their
characters against Senator who had kept out
of scandal; and the people took the charitable
view that very possibly an upright man had
been unable to keep certain rats from liking
him.
Allison probably likes the Senate better than
executive place. He is more studiotis than
Window, and men of books often shrink from
going to the front and encountering the rough
blows of executive exposure. Allison married
the niece of ex-senator Grimes, another pub
lie man, who, with the yigor of Lycurgus,
yet seems to have been immensely prosperous
in the class of enterprises lying very close to
legislation. Indeed, there is broad gap be-
tween the Eastern and Western States In that
one respect-that in the East public life is
conflict of persons, and in the far West con-
fict of appropriations.

GARFIELD ON LINCOLN,
Eloquent Remarks ON the Death or the
Martyr President.

The official report in the Congressional
Globe Of Saturday April A. 1866, recites that Mr.
Garfield, In the House Of Representatives, after
prayer by Chaplain Boynton, moved 70 dispense
with the reading of the Journal, and said " Mr.
Speaker, desire TO move that this House do now
adjourn. And before the vote upon that motion
is taken desire to say few words This day.
Mr.. Speaker, will be sadly memorable so long
as this Nation shall endure, which God grant
may be till the last syllable OF recorded
time when the volume of human his
tory shall be sealed up and delivered to
tho 0mnipotent Judge. In all future time on the
recurrence Of this day, doubt not that the ctl-
zens of this Republic will meet In solemn rs.
sembly to reflect on the life and character of
Abraham Lincoln and the awful tragic event of
April H. is6j-an even, unparalleled in the his
tory of nations certainly unparalleled in our own. II
Is eminently proper that this House should this day
place upon It's records a memorial of that event"
After brief eulogy upon the late President and
pathetic alluSion to the circumstances Of his DEATH
Mr.. Garfield concluded. at was no one
man who killed Abraham Lincoln II was the
embodied spirit OF treason and slavery,
inspired with fearful and despairing
hate, that struck him down in the
moment OF the Nations supremest Joy. All,
sir there arc times in the history of men and ma
tions where they stand so near the veil that sepa
rates mortals from the immortals time from eter-
nifty, and men from their God, that they can
almost hear the beatngs and feel the pulsations
of the heart of the Infinite. Through such time
has this Nation passet, When 10000 brave
spirits passed from the field Of honor through that
thin veil to the presence cf Cod and when at last
its parting folds admitted the martyr President to
the company Of the dead heroes OF the Republic,
the Nation stood near the veil that the whispers
Of God were heard by the children Of men. Awe
stricken by his voice, the American people knet
In fearful reverence and made solemn covenant
with him and with each other that this Nation
should be saved from its enemies that all Its gorics
should bo restored and the ruins Of slavery and
.yeaason the temples of freedom and justice should
be built and should survive forever. 1t remains
for u.s. oonsecrated by that great event md under
covenant with God, to keep that faith, to 20 for
ward in the great work until 1t shall be COM
ploted Following the lead Of that great man and
obeying the high behests Of God, let us remember
that
He has sounded forth trumpet that shall never call
retreat;
lie is snng out the hearts OF men before his judg
ment seat.
BE swin my SOUL to answer him; bc Jubllant my
feet,
For God is marching on"
At the conclusion of this pesoraton the house
silently adjourned.

GUITEAU AS A BAPTIST.
He is Expelled from Church for Licen.
tiOusness.

New YORK, July ga member of the
Calvary Baptist Church of this city says of Gteau;
" He Is the same Charles Giteau who came to this
city In the summer of 1871 with stroug letters OF
recommendation from the pastor of the First Bap-
tist Church in Chicago, introducing and recon-
mendng him to our church on the strength of
these he was received into fellowship, lie
said that he had lived in New York, and
been member of the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher's church, but that on taking wife in
Chicago he became n member OF her church.
After Guiteau had been some time In this city his
wife called upon our pastor the Rev. DR.. Roberts
Macarthur and said that her husband was prac-
tislng lawyer and needed 500 pending the de-
cision In an important case. Mr. Macarthur lent
the $780, and that is the last he ever saw OF It,
Guiteau moved to Brooklyn that autumn, but con-
tinued to attend our church and to have sitting
In It, and occasionally he attended oursocial meet.
ings Then he moved back TO city and In 1876
1877 his wife visited our pastor and Tecited story
of wrongs that satisfied us that her husband was a
thoroughly disreputable, bad man, The story of
his immoraitles is about as bad as such Il tale
could be. His icentiousness and his brutality had
driven Mrs Gulteau to institute proceedings for
divorce. She is good true woman, and had
borne all that human being could bear
and then she appealed to the courts. decree OF
divorce was granted. We cited him TO appear
before a committee of discipline, and he Hp-
peRred In response to the citation. He acknowl-
edged his gross immortality and proiessed peni-
tence, at the same time boseeching us not to dis
cpline him publicly, as such an act might ruin
him, But his penitence seemed felgned We more
than doubted his sincerity. Therefore we SUM
moned him to answer charge Of gross immoral
ityi but on the evening set down for the hear
ing he did not appear, and he was unanl-
mously expelled from Calvary Baptist Church
But Notwithstanding he had proved himself an
incorrigibly bad man, Guiteau had the eifrontery
not long after his ignominious expulsion nom our
church TO send for Dr. Macarthur to intercode for
him in Jefferson Market Police Court. Guiteau had
been arrested for obtaining money under false pre-
tences The magistrate was willing TO deal
leniently with the prisoner If our pastor desired
but Mr. Macarthur said that Guiteau's career had
been such that he could not conscientiousy inter-
fere to save him from prison.

out "stop that man. but not until he heard fall

platform, seemingly anxious about the Presidents
tardiness, when person rushed up and
said the President had just been
shot IN the ladies' waiting room of the depot AS
no report of the pistol had been heard out there
the statement for brief second was not considered
credible, but It was almost instantly confirmed
and then, with blanched cheeks and palpitating
hearts, amid the widest CONSERVATION, all rushed
into the waiting-room and there saw the prostrate
form Of the President lying bleeding on the floor.
