II Is entertaining, not TO say amusing, 10

The Stability of Our Government

On the second of this month the
President was disabled by an assas-
SINS bullet from the performance of
the duties imposed upon him. The
wheels of government have, how
ever, moved noiselessly and without
the slightest friction since the terrible
event. The Cabinet, composed OF
men of consumate fitness for their
special Offices, has looked after the
Department with close, unwearying
attention, and public affairs have been
conducted as smoothly as though
nothing unusual had occurred. All
this should not only make Us proud
of the stability of our government,
but satisfy us that the uglinesses
created by the Rebellion rave passed
away. For if the impression were
not widespread that the prosperity
and pappiness of all must depend up
on the preservation OF the UniGD,
and that such an end was a suitable
hject for every good citizens honest
endeayor, this crime would have
stimulated unrest and possibly pro-
duced disodedience to authority.
Quite the contrary has been the case.
The vast majority Of the nation has
taken to heart the dastardly attempt
to destroy their President, and has
never more markedly tried to up.
hold the majesty and power of the
government than during these last
three weeks. A government of the
people, for the people, is being sus-
tanned by the people with sublime
energy and patriotic herOism, that
has never been surpassed, il equalled,
in history. When the national
thanksgiving takes place, let this fact
be remem bered as cause for great
thank fitness. side by side with the
great blessing vouched in the restora-
ton of the President to health. Fred

Mr.. Jesse K. Hines, State insur-
ance commissioner of Maryland. has
issued circular to agents in Mary
land designed to break up the practice
of speculative life insurance in this
State. The evil of this sort of gam
bling has been long felt, and the
circular of the State insurance COM
missioner is step in the right direc.
ton. Mr.. Hines says:
sit has become matter of public
netoriety that a large amount of
business is being done by certain
class of companies in this State in
the way of insuring solely for specu-
latiye purposes the lives of aged and
infirm persons, the insurance so
effected being made for the use of
persons who have no insurable in
terest whatever in the life that is the
subject of the insurance are nothing
better than most demoralizing form
of gaming. Recognizing this system
as being at once contrary to public
policy and dangerous to good morals,
it is my intention to inquire into ali
cases that may come my knowledge
in the future, and to appear before
the grand juries in the respective
counties and the city of Baltimore
and present all gersons whom may
find engaged in transactions of this
description"

The New York Tribune of Sunday,
in an article on the Presidents con-
dition ard the state of public affairs
as connected with the tenure of Mr..
Garfield'S life, says:
SIN respect to public interests, there
will be less anxiety than there was
when the President was first injured,
because the course of Vice-President
Arthur has been such as to give him
much greater share OF public con-
fidence and sympathy. The Repub
licans in this State no longer have a
contest among themselves, but are
united and hearty in the support of
the administration, and there are no
vacant seats in the Senate to prompt
renewal of strife. The death of the
President, should that occur, would
be terrible calamity, but its public
consequences would probably be
much less important than if the cal
amity hau come TWO weeks ago, "A
transfer of official authority would
now be made under very different
circumstances, and with much less
probability of changes in the course
of the different departments. Yet
the people will most fervently pray
for the life of their President this
day. for his great trial has taught
them to love the man with unspeak-
able affection, and to realize that his
life may be of incalculable value to
the country /; and their petitions will
not be less feryent because the latest
tidings of his condition give them
much hope"

between the drainage tube anG the
deeper suppurating surface. Early
in the afternoon, however. the OBJ
Struction wholly or partially gave
away, the outflow of pus being freer,
the nausea from which the patient
had suffered subsidized, and he obtain
ed relief. This proved that the OBJ
struction had not been of perma-
nent character. AT the evening
dressing of the wound the discharge
of pus was quite as copious as usual.
Since that time the PATIENTS fever
has been steadily abating. AT an
early hour yesterday morning he was
sleeping quietly. Drs. Agnew and
Hamilton were sent for and arrived
at the White House in the evening.
After a consultation with the attend
ing physicians they sent word to New
York and Philadelphia that the Pres
ident's condition was more favorable
than they had expected.
The Cumberland Nelos of Wednes-
day, in speaking of the condition of
the President says: "There is no
use trying to close our eyes to the fact
that the President is in very criti-
cal condition. His life may be said to
be hanging by a mere thread. Pro-
baby the crisis in his case was reach
ed in the opening Of the pus cavity
and the removal of the piece of rib
broken by the assassin's bullet. If
there is no renewal of his unfavor-
able symptoms his recovery may be
looked for. but is sure to be slow, te-
dious and painful. If, and we write
it with great deal of sad apprehen-
sion, there should be further trouble
with the discharge from the wound.

pulse and high fever, then the Presi-
dent, now very, very weak, will

crow feast. After all the bitter things
said against Heating by Mr.. Hamil-
ton in his famous "bomb SHE'LL" and
repeated over and over by his organ
grinders, and mouthed by the monk
eys that dance around the Governors
feet, it must be humilating for them
to shout hossanna's for the nominee
for Comptroller, and eat their own
dirt--unless they have become so
craven s0uled, like the whipped
spaniel, that licking their masters
boots is easy and natural. Will they
eat the crow? Certainly! Why
not? The cry of reform was bald
sham, meant only to catch and fool
the public ear. Having failed, the
most natural thing to do is to subside
and fail into line again, and vote as
they always yoted-"For reform

The New York Tribune says: "The
Garfield Republicans have won lau-

matters not whether they yielded
much or little in respect to empty
forms. Mr.. ConKling is dismissed to
private life with great unanimIty.
Next to Mr.. Conkling, the Demo-
cratic party suffers. 1t has played
the tail for him so long, and has been
wagged so obediently, that it will be
very hard hereafter to gain for that
party the respect of good citizens.
The Democrats had no real sympa-

to help him, and knew full well that
1T was great wrong to the State to
give his faction any aid. Yet the
Democratic members helped him
most slaYishly to the end, for NO
better reason than their hope that the

would he six vacancies. reducing the
full roll from 293 to 2S7, a majority

There was very decided change
for the worse in the Presidents con-
dition Saturday morning, and great
anxiety was felt during the entire
day. The wound became INSTRUCTED,
and in this manner pus cavity was
formed, and the discharge from the
mouth of the wound nearly ceased.
The result was chill, followed by
higher fever, the patients pulse
rising to maximum of about 1870,
and his temperature to 104. AS rigor,
followed by increased fever, is a
symptom of py@mia, of the forma-
ton Of an abscess, and of other I'M
favorable complications, it caused at
first good deal ofanxiety. A careful
examination, however, of the pus
discharged by the wound showed
that its character was perfectly nor
NAL and healthy. and, so far as APP
peared from the patients general
condition, all the indications of
py@mia were absent. These facts at
once relieved the fear of blood pois-
.oning. 1t was at first thought that
the obstruction might be the result

In compliance with the act Of the
Legislature of 1880, chapter AT, the
Governor has issued his prOclama-
ton submitting to the voters of the
State, at the next general election in
November. the pro osed amendment
to section 5 of article of the consti-
tuition of Maryland. This amend
ment corrects defect in the consti-
tuition with regard to the election of
Judges on the expiration of the first
term of fifteen years, and specifies
that such elections shall take place
on the Tuesday after the first Mon
day in November, which is the gen.
eral election day. The amendment
does not affect the term of Office of
the Judges, which remains fifteen
years as before, nor does it change
the time for elections to ill the places
of interregnum appointees, except
with regard to Baltimore city. In
this latter particular the time is
changed by the amendment from
October to November, thus making
it uniform throughout the State. The
term of fifteen years for Judges cleo
ted in 1867 expires November, 1882,
when successors are to be elected,
the amendment being preparatory TO
the occasion. The proclamation of
the Governor may be found in our
advertising columns.
