1t is now found that the Washington police,
after having allowed hOrseman to make
peep-show of Gmteau's van for the
purpose of taking aim at him, succeeded,
when the shot had been fred and the
would-be assassin of the assassin had
fed, only in catching the wrong man. There
never was more extraordinary exhibition of
police stupidity than this careless way of
guarding a prisoner whom every one knows to
be detested as no other living man in this
country is. Let the van be properly guarded
hereafter, and let us have no more of the
peep-show business.

The State Prison of New-JeTsey, it appears
is on the road to the point of self-suppOrt,
which the NewYork prisons have fortunately
reached already. An article printed elsewhere
states that the law passed by the Legislature
last winter prohibiting the employment of
more than one hundred convicts in any one
branch of labor has not bad the damaging eff
feet which was hoped for by its advocates and
feared by those who wished to see the prison
rendered self-supporting The income from
the labor of the convicts under existing con-
tracts will reach the highest figure in seven
years, and promises an end to deficiencies in
FIXTURE.
The statement of the Rev. 0. d. Mayo, in
his sermon of yesterday, that the people of
the North do not know what the people of
the South suffer for want of good schools, is
doubtless well within the mark. The progress
of the country here is so rapid, the diffusion
of education so complete and the means of in
structcn so ample, that many probably never
stop to reflect that, as Mr.. Mayo reminds US,
1t is only seventy-ive years since the African
slave-traGe was stopped, and that there is
vast population to the south of us without
learning, and even without morality. There
is work to be done here by Northern benev-
olence which should be done quickly.
If the object of the Imprisonment aud trial of
Guiteau is to enable him TO enjoy the notO-
riety which he committed murder to obtain,
then there is not word of criticism to be
offered upon the proceedings, either in the
court-room or in the Jail. If, on the other

The Bottom Dropped Out of the
bloody Chasm.
New York Evening Post.l

New York Evening Post.l
Senator David Davis has made the
discovery" that President Arthur's
message is the first Presidential mes
sage in forty years that has not spoken
Of the South as a distinctive part Of
the country" Considering that Pres
ident Arthur was identified with that
wing Of the Republican party which
looked upon Southern outrages and
the ~portentous dangers threatened by
the "Solid South" as their most valua-
Bile stock in trade, this fact is very
creditable to him. But it is also a
matter of great significance hat
scarcely any reader of the message
seems to have been struck by the
absence Of any allusion to Southern
affairs. Only one or two papers that
we have seen called attention to it.
The paragraph about the South
does not appear to have been missed
at all. 1t has dropped naturally from
the list of political topics. This
shows how large an artificial element
there was in that agitation which OF
late years has still been striving to
represent the Southern question as
the most important and urgent one
before the people. The absolute
silence of a "Stalwart" President on
this subject puts in a somewhat ludi-
crous light, retrospectively, the con
spicuous effort made last year by the
Stalwarts to advance the Southern
question as the leading issue in the
last Presidential election-the very
election which opened to MI. Arthur
the succession to the Presidency.
That Southern question, the terrors of
which were then paraded in so awful
a glare, has evidently ceased to be
political capital.

about a month ago he quit work be-
cause he was given another team. He
resumed a short time since on getting
his old team. On Friday last one Of
the mules was put IN another team,
and thereupon Steffen was taken with
a fit Of melancholy, which increased
in extent until it resulted in total
delirium. He was taken to the city
