THE CASE OF BLAINE. WASHING
TON, Aug 27.-From all indication it is
not likely that the time will be long be-
fore Secretary Blaine will follow the
political chieftain with whom he COM
menced the administration on the 4th of
March last. Those familiar with the
late Senator Carpenters appearance
during his last illness, remark that
Blaine has the same doughty and palld
look of the skin, the peculiar glare of
the eyes, the heaviness of motion and
the listlessness of demeanor, thrown off
at times with violent effort which marked
Senator Carpenter from the time when
Bright's>disease had fully fastened upon
him. Blaine, like Carpenter, has an ir-
repressible horror of being thought an
invalid, and to the forbearance of the
reporters to whom he has shown thous-
and favors is he indebted for the sup
preston of the facts in his case. He
walks heavily and painfully with cane,
and all the other symptoms are those of
a confirmed victim of Bright's disease.
It is generally understood in his case,
as it was in the case Of Carpenter, that
no mention, except such as is fattering,
is to be made of his pallid and i'll APP
pearaDce and when the remark is made
to him, as it often is by considerate
friends, chow we'll you look" he is
greatly gratitied. The reporters are also
conscious Of gratifying him exceedingly
whenever they speak of his agility in
getting about and his general appearance
of health and activity.

MORE HOPEFUL.

Again there is hope for President Gar
field. The alarming symptoms Of last
Friday nigh and Saturday forenoon, in
dicating that death was near at hand,
began to change for the better during
Saturday afternoon, and the improve
ment, though slight, continued during
Sunday, and the reports have been cheer
ing ever since. There are DO unfavora-
bic new symptoms or complications, and
none are deemed probable.
It is reported that a highly dramatic
scene took place at the White House,
last Friday. The story goes that the
surgeons gave up hope Of the Presidents
recovery, and appointed committee to
inform Mrs. Garfield of the tact She
upbraided them for their course-told
them that her husband would recover,
andsbade them go back to their duties,
and, if they were doctors, to prove it by
talking ofrecovery instead Of death.

ARTHUR'S REPORTED CABINET.

Ah1HUN - hEIOhlED OADlNE1.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-The shadow
of death which is felt on the national
capital IN no way represses political
speculation as to events likely to occur
subsequent to the closing scenes in the
life of the President Speculation as to
though their fragrant improperly has
been admitted have occupied nearly as
much of the thoughts of this seething
political center as has the condition of
the President. 1t is expected, of course,
that upon Vice President Arthur's acces-
sion as acting president, the members of
the cabinet willstender their designations,
as is usual upon change of administra-
ton. Doubtless a sweeping cabinet
change would be opposed by general
popular cutlery, yet Arthur's impulse and
desires doubtless will be to tender the
first place to Ex-senator Conkling. who
would thus became the ruling spirit of
the administration as Blaine has been Of
that of President Garfield. But he will
not challenge so audaciously the public
sentiment of the country as to make this
appointment, while Conkling has too
wise a sense Of the stormy crisis that
would be produced, to accept it, ifofered.
Yet it can hardly be expected that
Arthur will continue Blaine at the head
of the cabinet, Tor would Blaine care to
stay, to find his views constantly at vari-
ance with those of the acting president,
and over-ruled by him. Under these
circumstances the thoughts of the most
tIJtn +,,r
ards Gen. Grant who it is believed will
accept the appointment of secretary of
state in the new cabinet, and will become
the virtual head Of the new administra-
ton. There is every reason to suppose
that Gen. Grant, possessing as he does,
the confidence of the country, would be
as acceptable an appointment as could
be made, and that the public mind
will be satisfied with such a solution of
the colossal difficulty which the vice
president will encounter on the thresh-
old OF his administration as chief eyecu-
tive
Secretary Window will doubtless be
invited to remain at the head of the
treasury department while the condition
of the star route investigation is such as
to preclude any change in the office of
postmaster or attorney general. The
balance of the cabinet including the
venerable Kirkwood and the ornate and
much-married Hunt can be changed
without distressing detriment to the
country, and they will undoubtedly
give place to new men.
No marked administrative changes are
anticipated. The incoming acting presi-
dent will find a trying duty before him
in dealing with the stalwart and half
breed fight in New York, in which he
has so actively participated. But it is
believed that he will give such evidences
of craftsmanship in this part of executive
duty as will not produce any general
revolt or dissatisfaction.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Guiteau has
somehow heard of the condition Of the
president and of the near approach of
death to his distinguished victim. He is
in abject fear Of lynching, and has asked
the warden Of the Jail to put iron shut
ters to the narrow window which gives
light to his cell Measures are being
taken to protect the Jail in case of the
Presidents death, if mob should
assail it for the purpose oflynching Gui-
teau.
Alarming rumors are in circulation re-
garding organized bodies Of men in
ncighboring cities, who are banded to-
gether to come here and lynch Guiteau.
1t is said the guards at the jail are in
sympathy with them, and only await a
favorable opportunity to themselves muir

will, book accounts, etc, having been
sold to VIM. Z. Norris. Mr.. Norris has
been connected with the paper for
a good many years, and the past four has

He is too well known in this section of
the state to need an introduction upon
assuming the proprietorship Of the Re
PUBLICAN. 1t no more than proper to
state, however, that the paper will lose
nothing by the change, but will doubt
less be improved in many respects. In
parting with the REPUBLICAN it is not
unlike separating with member Of the
family. The retiring proprietor has pub
lished the paper since February 1867,
and it is only through a desire to enter a
wider field of journalism than Watertown
offers, has he been induced to part with
an old-time friend. Thanking the friends

MORTGAGEs VII, LIENS.
The Augusta Chronicle d Cbnstilutional.

The Augusta Chronicle d Cpnstitutiondl-
ist says:
Henry Grady Is Of opinion that there
will be q mucn greater aristocracy In the
future than in the past. A few men are
gettin .hc lands. About three men, are
said to 20 i'll possession OF all tho land in
we'll known province" near Augusta; {;
and VIC have heard 1t stated that one man
in Greene county-a merchant-could
foreclose upon nearly nino-tenths OF tho
planters thore.
That does not look like Georgia with
out Lien law is any better of than We
are with it. Turn and twist the question
as you will, the plain fact stares you iii
the face, that system of liens is not 80
dangerous as system of Mortgageo. As
the caption of correspondence in the
Mews cnd Courier puts it, "it 10 Better to
eat up crop than swallow farm" If
the Lien law 10 abolished, system Of
mortgages will be substituted. The Su-
promo Court of this State has decided,
in the case of Moore We. Byrum, that o
man has the right to mortgage crop to
bc planted even before he hos located
the land upon which it is to be grown,
and where he ovaa no land. II the
Lien law 10 abolished, chattel mortgages
will be substituted for them. The only
effect will be to make the party who
gives the mortgage pay seventy Eve cents
instead of fifteen cents for recording it /:
and, then, If it should be necessary W
enforce the mortgage, instead of paying
the Clerk of the Court fifty cents to issue
his warrant, lawyer will have to be
employed 70 forecloae it, and the expen-
ses will run from twenty to flfty OF more
dollars. Another trouble will be
that lie mortgages will DO made
to cover oil perSonal property, and then
should the crop fail TO pay out the par
ty's other property would be liable. A
mortgage is good for the creditor, but is
rather an expensive luxury for tenants
AZ means of procuring credit upon
which to make crop.
