The New Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ct is stated
that the President will send IN the
names of Freelinghuysen and Brewster
for Secretary of State and Attorney
General respectively tomorrow. Other
Cabinet nominations will be made later
The speaker has not had time to give
thoaght to the formation of committees,
and all assignments of chairmanships
in newspapers is the merest speculation.
In the House members of committees
are not promoted according to service
on committee, as IN the Senate, and
therefore there is no basis for specu!a-
ton. The speaker uses his own. .iudg.
ment and pleasure in distributing COM
mittee honor.

THE 18th CONGRESS-.

OK Monday last the 47th Congress
convened. and il starts out rs if the IN
,ention were to make it truly business
session. We trust this is the case. 1t
has been lcng time since the nation
has been blessed with the spectacle OF
I congress that really seemed to be IN.
terested in the welfare of the country,
more than that OF pet schemes and
party advantages.
So far as party L concerned, the two
great political organizations are nearly
equally divided the Republicans having
the advantage: and experience has pro-
ven that in a republican government
like ours, political parties are "a necessity
and that it is better that neither have
too great an ad antage numerically
over the other. Hence everything is
favorable for an honest, working ses-
sion and for prosperous year for the
nation. 4 number of bills of impor-
tance have already been introduced,
among which is three-per-cent. fund
ing bill by Senator Sherman, and bills
for the admission of Dakota into the
Union as state, by Saunders and VIM
dom And in a very short time bill
will be introduced for the improvement
of the Mississippi River. To the peo-
pie of this State there is no other meas
ure Of more vital Importance than this.
The action of this congress will be
watched with more than ordinary inter-
est by the people of the whole country,
and steady earnest work will tend
very much to elevate in the estimation
OF the people, the character of that
body. There has been so much wrang-
ling, and SO much evidence of chicanery
and corruption for some years past,
that to be a member of Congress car
ried with it very little evidence of great
worth or integrity. The 47th Congress
has 4 fan opportunity to distinguish
itself and we look for more quiet and
prosperous session, and better work
than we have had for years.

BURGLARS AT ABERDEEN.
The house Of Mr. James A. Wiles was entered
by burglars and robbed, on last Friday night
The thief or thieves did their work cautiously.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wiles, who were sleeping in the
room which was ransacked, were not aroused,
and knew nothing of the robbery until next
morning. Among the things stolen were gold
watch and chain and purse of money.
The same night, and most probably by the
same parties, the house of Mrs. Gallon was
robbed, but nothing was taken except plate OF
cakes. Near the cakes was purse containing
q large sum of money, which the thieves could
not have seen. There is no clue to the robbery,
SUNDAY SCHOOL PIC MIC.

''and is not surpassed" said one who knows,
"by that from Mt. Washington or the famous

SEVERE STORM.


On Wednesday of last week one of the heaviest
storms of the season visited this section. A
bridge on the Dad from Darlington to this place
and another on the same branch where 1t inter
sects the canal, at this point, were washed away.
Bars were also washed in the Canal, at this

reason of frequent washes. The water will

ing will be resumed.
THE RIVER

very fast. 1t continues to be very muddy.
PRAYERS FOR THE PRESIDENT
have been offered in the various churches In
Darlington, since the attempted assassination,
and more especially in Grace Memorial Protest
ant Episcopal Church. The news created a
feeling of horror in this community and many
demonstrations of sorrow and regret were made.
POSTPONED.
The excursion which was to have gone from
this place to McCalPs Ferry on the steam yacht
Viola, on the Goth instant has been postponed
until the 2Gth instant, on account of repairs to
the canal.

went to Chester Heights camp-meeting last Sun
day, over the Philadelphia and Baltimore Cen

The Story of the Great Crime,

A statement of the circumstances attending
the attempted assassination of President
Garfield has been furnished by District Attor-
ney Corkhill, who obtained the facts from
Guiteau himself and from other authentic
sources. 1t appears that Guiteaus deterni-
nation to murder the President was formed
on the 18th of last May, With money Dor
rowed from gentleman on the plea that he
wanted to pay his board, he bought heavy
pistol and practiced with it at q mark so as
to be sure of his aim and his weapon. From
the 18th of May until the 2d of July he dog
ged the Presidents footsteps, watching for an
opportunity to kill him. On Sunday morn
ming, June 18th, he followed President Gar
field into the Christian church, where he
went to worship, and was only deferred from
shooting him then for fear of killing some
one else. He noticed that the President sat
near a window, and on the following We'd
nesday Guiteau examined the window and
found that from the outside he could reach
the window and shoot the President through
the head without killing any one else. On
the 18th of June he followed the President
to the depot, but Mrs, Garfield, was with him,
and she looked so weak and frail that he had
not the heart to shoot Mr.. Garfield in her
presence. Day after day he followed the
President as he drove or walked out, ready
to shoot him at the first favorable oppor-
tunity. On the I'd of July he accomplished
his purpose.
The account given is not Guiteau's confess
sion, but merely narrative of ascertained
facts, derived sometimes from Guiteau and
corroborated, sometimes from other parties
and corroborated His persistent following
of the President is scarcely the uct of mad
man, but the carrying ont of II deliberately
formed purpose, by man capable of weigh
ing his acts and realizing the consequences. 1t
was one of the most cold hloodcd attempts to
murder ON record.

MARRIAGE INsURANCE.-A new phase of
insurance is known in Pennsylvania and
other States, being that of guaranteeing sin
gle young men and women one thousand
dollars when they marry. A considerable
business is done by sharp agents, who as
sure the young women that young men seek
ing wives invariably select young woman
who has had sufficient business tact and
Judgment about her to he insured in time
The consequence is that young women pay
out their hard carmel dollars trusting to the
chance of getting Il husband and 81 600 at the
same time. The insured are divided into
classes, according to age, the younger paying
less than the older. Children thirteen wears
Of age are received as members and assessed
so much. When member is M; rried every
other member In the same class is assessed
one dollar If there are 600 members, 5000
is thus collected, of which the directors de-
duct 90 per cent. for their trouble and pay
The remainder to the insured. The directors
appear TO have profitable positions, when
business is ilourishing, since only small
amount of capital is required to start the
business 1t is a great deal better than death
