WE lind Democrats generally congrat-
ulating each other that there is nothing
in the circumstances of Gar6eld's assas-
sination to warrant any red
mouthed, narrow-headed political bigot
in raising the cry that it was
done by a "rebel," copperhead -
or democrat melted by "Demo.
cratic teachings."s y Even if the mur-
derer-he must be judged by his inten-
tions, not the consequences-had not al
ready avowed himself stalwart and his
glee at the prospect of Arthur being
president, it is plain that 10 political
profit could come to, Democrats from
Mr.. Garfeld's taking off. While it
might suit one faction Of his party bet
ter to have Arthur president, and
while the bitterness of that faction to
him has been much more intense than
any Democratic expressions, 10. Re
publican in the executive chair would
likely widen the fatal dissensions in his
party more than Garfield. At the same
time the assassin's coupling of Arthur's
profit with his apology for crime will be
even more damaging to Stalwartism
than Mr.. Platt's capering in the De-
Tavan bed-chamber.

IT is notable fact that of the four
men succeeding to the presidency in this
government by the death of the chief
executive each one has differed from his
deceased chief in his policy, though

the hopes of Taylor's friends Johnson,

policy, at least convinced few of the Re-

dent who may step up is notoriously one
who has been antagonistic to the policy
of the administration.

Garfield and GrantEsat Long
Branch.

New York, 24.-TTi6une'S Long
Branch: If anyone supposes that this
is focus of political news be is greatly
mistaken. Certain newspapers have been
trying to make 1t appear, but their facts
have been diluted with vast quantity
of imagination and invention. The
President does not talk politics nor see
people who come to make him talk. He
receives few callers and the news Of his
disposition to shut himself to rest with
his family, keeps away visitors. He does
not get earlier bsllols st Albany than he
finds in the New York papers. He seems
to delight in the opportunity, the fest in
a year, to smoke, drive, walk and chat
with his family and few friends; to be
his own master for 8 few days. His
health is excellent and the anxiety about
his wife being removed, he looks more
cheerful than he has done for many week
Grant has not yet called upon the Pre-
sident. A good deal of curiosity is felt
to see whether he will allow his disap-
prevail of the appointment of man as
collector of New York, who did not vote
for him at Chicago, to keep him from
crossing the street and calling upon the
President. Thus far he has made no
sign of performing this social duty which
he owes to his own position, as well as to
that of the President. Some personal
friends of his, say, however, that he will
call before the President takes his de-
parture.
AS 10 the corr espondencs which passed
between Grant and Garfield after Rob.
ertson's nomination, it may be said, on
good authority, that if Grant wishes to
publish it, there will be no objection on
the other side. The Presidents letter,
which is said to have been very quiet and
dignifed 10 tone, elected no reply from
Grant. 1t seemed to have closed effectu-
ally the argument. People who have
seen both letters, say their publication
would produce fresh political sensation. |
Grants letter is known to be quite SINH |
lar to the one he wrote at the same time
to Senator Jones, and the Presidents |
reply is calm assertion of his position |
with regard to the Robertson appoint |
ment, accompanied with expressions of
personal regard for Grant and apprecia-
ton of his services in the campaign. and /
of surprise that he should feel agrieved |
because of the appointment of a single /
man in New York who did not belong to
the faction which supported him for the
last year There is 3 rumor
hat Grant is writing rejoinder, but if
be is, he has not spoken of it to those
close to him in social and political rels-
ions.

The Use OF MIX.

Dir. CRosBY, of the Bellevue Hospital,
pronouncesmiik an article ot diet which
ali persons may use. under all condi-
tons. There are those who saw that
they cannot take milk. that il makes
them bilious. ETC., but he declares that
this is not true. A person who is sick
may take milk with the greatest possible
advantage. because il contains in the
form OF assimilation, all the elements
essential for maintaining nutrition.

animal, and il certainly answers a good
purpose for the old animal, provided it
is used properly, and not poured into .

il had In itself no substance orrichness.
New milk, as he does not hesitate TO
say, may be taken as far as disease is
concerned in nearly every condition.
Perhaps il will require the addition of a
spoonful OF two Of lime-water.
The addition Of q little salt often pre-
vents the after feeling of fullness and
wind on the stomach, which some COM
