is what many people have thought but
few have said:
sIn these DAYS of trial for Mrs, GARFIELD
it seems hard that some of the people about
her. and more of the people not about her,
should pnt into her mouth, and then re-
peat for the benefit of the country, stiited
and unnatural expressions, as Alas! or
Woe is me II they must invent language
which she never used, at least let II be
something less in the nature OF the tragedy

American woman"
Mrs. Garfield's situation has been par
ticularly trying one Her husband is
the President, and when he was in health
it was easy to remember this, and to allow
his duties to draw him away; his public
position also makes hers public. But
now that he is on sick bed; that for days
and days his life has hung in a balance
and it seemed at times af if nature must
give up the struggle; then has she forgot
ten that her husband is President, and only
remembered that he was her husband, the
partner of her life, the companion OF all
her DAYS, What then must be her thoughts
when she sees her grief put into print; her
distress and anxiety opened out before the
public. The people are anxious whether
their President will live; she only thinks
about her husband. The question with
her is will the father of her children live;
and such grief, such an anxiety is holy.
1t must be respected; and no newspaper

DESTROYS of writing sensational articles, has
the right to disturb it, Here is one ground
of reprimanding the Quincy Herald and its
late utterances, and whatever may be the
opinion which one may hold OF Garfield,
his present condition should restrain the
utterance Of it.

There is considerable talk in republican
papers about Senator Beck's suggestion, to
vote for Senator Anthony, or some other
republican for President pro tenn. of the
Senate; should the president unfortunately
die Happy there is strong hope that no
such need shall occur, but the holding up
of Senator Beck, as a patriot above all
other democrats, because he alone sees the
beauty of such an arrangement, is the
veriest nonsense. When it was suggested
that it would be wise and sensible thing
to appoint a democrat to succeed Justice
Clifford; not republican paper in the
land approved; although democrat on the
supreme bench, surrounded by republicans
would amount to nothing more than
recognition of the party, while the
president of the Senate, would mean the
Vice President of the United States. If
Senator Beck desires to vote with republi
cans on this or any other question, he must
set along side of Malone, and be prepared
to support Gorham. As we said, the
chances are that the unfortunate quest on
will never occur; but that is no reason why
democrats are afraid to put themselves on
record IN the matter.

REPUBLICAN REpuDIAToRs.

Gen. Wickham's name has long been
conspicuous among the Virginia Republi-
cans. In the whole South there was no
leader of that party who had so many
claims to public respect.
It is an astonishing spectacle in Ameri
can politics, the present coalition between
Malone and the Virginia Republicans ona
platform of reputation. Seduced by Ma
hone, and by the promise of patronage
from Washington, they have concluded to
follow the bargain of the Republican Sen
ators with the repudiator by making one Of
their own. The movement has broken up
the Republican party in the State; wiped
it on" is the expressive language in some
quarters. And now Gen. Wickham has
declared for the debt-paying ticket.
It is singular that Northern Republicans
can calmly urge Virginia Republicans to dc
that which, were it done by them in New
York or Pennsylvania, would result In the
destruction OF the party,r-N X 6aa,

Although the republi can politicians of
the north seem to be friendly to Malone s
cause there are republicans in Virginia
who do not look on him with the same
favor. There is republican paper in
Richmond called the De6tpayer, which
after printing General Wickham's late let
teragoes on to say:
when Malone and his allies shall have
been beaten, as they surely viii be when
the next election is closed; when the coali-
ton goes down to the shame and disgrace
of Republican people, throughout the
north who have dared to advise it, and OF
Republican leaders. Senators and Repre-
sentatives who have announced that II
was expedient and right to break the solid
South through the dishonor of State and
the robbery of her creditors; when 1t shall
be announced and proven that high officials
in the post office department and IN the
treasury department ordered the removal
of debt paying republicans-then, before
bankers and merchants who would nave
been defrauded If this coalition had sue
ceeded, before debt-paying communities,
before men who read and think and who
do not believe that the end justifies infa-
NOUS means, there will be another day OF
reckoning-a time when the effort Will be,
not to break the solid South but to save
the solid North. Men have been able ever
since the world was to convince themselves
that to cheat was honest, but they have
not been able to convince the disinterested
or the cheated, and there is not eloquence
enough in man to enable republican sena-
tors and cabinet ministers to stand before
an intelligent audience in Wisconsin or
New York and persuade them that it was
right to enter into bargain by which some
control was to be given in Virginia inter
nal affairs, in consideration that the credi-
tors of Virginia in the North and in Eng
