RoMpING AT THE COTTON EXCHANGE.

The brokers at the Cotton Exchange did little
business yesterday, but they enjoyed themselves
with a performance called Christmas frohc. Ihe
first broker who appeared on Change was greeted by
the hoys III the offices with a shower of wet bags

a stuffed club With feelings of revenge he waited
for the next man to appear and gave HIM receipt

dangerous TO enter the building unless they were
satisfied to have their clothing soilcd. The only

Bu' it -as The shooting of u .esi =
dent Garfield that put the final seal
ri condemnation on Mr.. Arthur
He belonged To the stalwaGts and
the william, Guiteau, Just after h,.
did the deadly deed cried on: Il
am Il stalwart, and now Arthur will
be President" This WAS more
than the public cocld stomach
They might have overlooked every
thing else had no violence been at
t mptcd, but when this Twas done
and the name of the Vices President
associated with it, it was too mach,
and Arthur at once became Il siinl,
in tie nostrils of the people. This
is why there is such a distrust, such
tear of his administration, should
he succeed to the Presidential Office
All things taken together it is a
black record-one to be locked
upon with much alarm.
Should President Garfield DIE
our advice to Mr.. Arthur would be
to occupy the executive chair only
long enough to call the Senate to-
gether to make provision for the
situation, and then resign. The
country would feel relieved by the
act.
