PUBLIC INTEREST IN THE PRESIDENT.


10 fhe Edafor or The Tribune.
SIR: 1t occurred to me, in reading "D d.
Ls letter Of the 30th from Washington that perhaps
the friends OF the President" who object to the pubiea
ton of incidents In the sick quite under
stand the feeling with which General Garfield regard
ed throughout the country. Ignorance this point
seems hardly credible; STILL 1t may exist should like
to put this question to them: Suppose that for two
months you watched every breath drew; suppose
prayed for his life with frantic desire scarcely con-
sisent with Christian snbmssion you burst into tears
speechless thanksgiving when he compare
tive safety: suppose you did all these things-and they
literally true of us-would you then be con-
tent with official bulletins and dsquistons from the
doctors TO the difference between pynmia and sept
cemiaf trow uot II is from vulgar curiosity that
we have ransacsed every for the smallest item
which could throw light the feelings President
and Mrs. Garfield in their great sorrow
which was great sorrow, too II is
because our hearts have yearned over them
IA II they were members OF own household The
crafty IT, and OF say things which are not
In good taste. What does that matter IL not neya-
those who fail TO recognize this ia one of those
supreme occasions when ordinary conventionaties lose
their force; When General Garfield TO read the
record OF these months-God grant he well
enough TO read themhe will be, unless have
~ mistaken his character too depth OF
the affection which lavished upon him 10 he in
mood for small criticisms. That would be as In a man
to witness the breaking of q tidal wave and then
10 remark that II was majestic sight but that the
seaweed mixed with IT,! The privacy belonging to n
gentleman Is good thing 1t s good thing too-pos-
rejOced by thousands Of people, and venture tn
thinkace the Presidents fastdiOus frends-that il he

THE SICK SAVED BY FAITH.

The Rev. William Lloyd, of the Central
Congregational Church, at Madson-ave Forty
enthst selected his text from the Episte st. James

Mr. Lloyd said. when referring 10 the President that
the arms of loving people encrcled the of the
suffering man. If to hold him back from the
valley of the shadow of death, while the lessons
OF Christianity and heroism taught by brave battle

was the universal prayer OF the American people that
their stricken chief might recover. When Sab
bath death seemed to hover all Of them millions of
prayers went heaven, and breath of those
prayers it seemed as If he waited from the
valley.
At such time it natural to the question

again; and should he live, his recovery certainly
be traceabe. n adegree, to the divine power OF the
prayers OF millions OF people. n died. then many

He had personally known of lives given up by eminent
surgeons that had been saved by faith and

United States Christian nation, and that God

THE NATION cHAsTENED FOR IT'S GOOD.


THE NATION CHASTENED FOR ITS GOOD.
The Rev. A. B. Simpson preached at the
18th Street Presbyterian Church last evening. This
people, he said, has for full Of
anxiety Probably since the dark days of the Re-
bell1on has the Nation been full of soicitude. No
cities have been laid in ashes; armies knock at
gates but the Nation reads softly door Of
sick chamber When the darkest hour came heart of
the Nation would give up There seemed to feeling
that the President would not, could not die Yet the
time came when the public journals forced
to admit that 1t was not rational hope longer. But
through the gloom hand touched the mysteri
ous springs Of life and the President began be better
again Even the secular journals forced to admit
that IL was Gods work
The affection brought upon this Nation is the chasten
ing rod Of God applied for our good. You know how
high party feeling ran, how bitter political ami
mostly God uttered his voice and all this ceased and
all over the land feel that in this great
sorrow 1t checked the for business speculation 1t
also rebuke to national pride. Never since
the days OF Babylon, has there been such danger Of
Nation being ruined by pride The national prosperity
had been great that self-esteem and pride had
beccxpe inordnate 1t needed this to show that

that we were free from assassination and the
crimes and sins of the Old World; but

.Sho ting AHray at Eden.

A correspondent of the Chronicle
reported as follows, under date of
June 30th:
'"The usual quiet Of the village of
Cobb was disturbed last Saturday
evening by a rather disgraceful
affray, in which one of the young
men, Albert Culver, narrowly es-
capped death by shot from 3S
calibre revolver in the hands of
Henry Cunningham.
1t seems the parties had some
difficulty in regard to charge pre-
ferred by Culver against Cunning
ham for breaking his pledge, they
both being members of the Good
Templar's Lodge. Cunningham had
stated several times, when cautioned
not to drink, as some OF the meni-
bers would prefer charge against
him, that he would shoot any one
that would do so before &c went six
feet.
After the Lodge closed Saturday
evening some words were passed by
the parties at the door. They then
passed into the street, and after
exchanging few words, and | think
blows, Cunningham drew bis revol-
YER and aimed it at his opponents S
head, whereupon Culver, being close
enough, threw up his hand and the
weapon was discharged, the ball
passing over his head. Culver then
grappled him, threw him upon the
ground, and wrenched the revolver
from his grasp.
About this time young Harkins,
whom Cunningham had summoned
to his aid, was attempting COM
bined attack upon Culver, but
James Fox, Jr., arrived and depos-
ed the young man and separated the
combatants. Cunningham then made
use of his legs and was not seen
again until the next morning.
Sunday morning Culver entered
complaint before Justice Cooley,
who issued warrant for Cunning
ham arrest. Constable Manning
started in the direction of Linden,

the diagram, is exactly IL inches
long, Y inches wide at The widest

though a No. 80 would be just the

Officers Murdered.

Governor Smith received tele-
gram from Judge Bundy, of Menom-
onie, tho other morning, saying that
Charles Coleman, Under Sheriff of
Pepin county, and Milton Coleman,
Under Sheriff Of Dunn county, were
shot aud killed Sunday night, by
two desperadoes, named Ed. and
Alonzo Williams, who are supposed
to belong to the James ond Younger
band of outlaws. There is great
excitement in that part of the State,
and the people are turning out ca
DaSSe in pursuit Of the murderers.
Capt. Hunt, Of the Menomonie
cavalry company, telegraphed the
governor for permission to use the
State arms in his possession to aid
in the capture, and the necessary
permi. was promptly telegraphed
him.
Secretary Of State Warner says
that some horses were stolen in
Pierce county last week, and it is
thought that the murderers Of the
officers were the men who took the
animals, and turned and fought
when too closely pressed.
The Governor has telegraphed for
further details of the tragedy, in
order to know what action it may
be necessary for him to take in the
matter.

Cunningham was brought up for
examination Monday, but before
any evidence was produced District
Attorney Taylor moved dismissal.
The reasons for asking it are not
known, but Justice Cooley, con-
sidering him the proper officer to
prosecute, and thinking he had his
reasons for asking it, granted his
motion, Cunningham then plead
guilty to carrying concealed, wea-
pons whereupon he was fined S25

Il Dist. Attorney Taylor being in
town on Tuesday, we inquired of
him concerning the above case and
his reasons Tor entering the aoi}e re.
ferred to. He informed us that
from the statements Of the parties
to the suit he was satisfied that
Cunningham could not be convicted
OF ANYTHING worse than pointing a
weapon, and as that is an oiiense of
the same class and subject to the
penalties as carrying concealed
weapons, and as Cunningham was
willing to plead guilty to the latter,
he did not think it worth while to
put the county to the expense of a
trial under the circumstances. We
deem it but just to Mr.. Taylor to
publish this statement, as the COM
mnnication of our correspondent,
might be construed as casting re-
ilection upon his official conduct. -
