Guiteau was "stalwart of the stall
warts of that there is no doubt
but suppose he had been demo
crat, or worse yet a southern democrat,
would our good republican friends have
said then that the event was of no political
significance It was republican who
did the deed and consequently he is only
crazy. To be sure he belongs to branch
of the party which is fighting Garfield
and the faction he heads to be sure the
death of Garfield would put at the head of
the administration a man closely identified
with the faction to which he belonged to
be sure the ascendacy of Arthur would
mean the saving from political ruin of his
faction; All this is granted, but it was
of no political significance. The death
of the President means no possible advan-
tage to democracy; even if Arthur was to
die also there is no President of the senate
to take his place. Democrats would rather
see Garfield President than Arthur. But
suppose that it had been crazy man from
south of Mason s. Dixons line, or one
that voted for Hancock, how many of the
god and morality party would there be to
rise up and declare the event of no politi

out and there would have been another

at Albany. But Guitteau was stalwart

The tenacity of life shown by President
Garfield is a surprise to the physicians
who are in attendance upon him, or who
have watched his case with professional
and personal anxiety. His vigorous con
stitution, his quietude of mind, his cour.
age under suffering, with careful and affec-
tionate nursing, judicious medical expec-
fancy, and the blessing of heaven, have
served him well and he has lived, not un-
der excruciating anguish, with wound s
that, in other circumstances, would as
suredly have proved fatal, either at once,
or at most within two or three days, So
many unexpected favorable symptoms dis
played themselves at different hours of
yesterday that doctors who on Sunday and
Monday were hopeless began to speculate
on the possibility of his recovery, and to
quote cases of similar kind in which the
patient recovered. Yet they are well
aware that there is still imminent danger,
and their practice is the proof of their APP
prehension. Every day of life enlarges the
prospect of its continuance, but every hour
of the present state of things is big with
jeopardy,

"Oh, that mine enemy would write a
bookw was well said, and all the enemies
of JEFF, Davis are gloating over his at
tempt in that direction. jeff Davis had
better be dead than alive as far as any inn
portance that attaches to his opinion is
concerned. Twenty years ago jeff Davis
represented an idea-he was the head of
men That idea is now dead, it has pass
ed out of existtnce ond has no more being:
its former supporters are either dead or
else have deserted it; it interests no one
more. All except Davis! Had he died
when the idea died he would
have been remembered kindly. fond
" and lovingly by his old followers.
Had he deserted the idea when it died, he
would have been recognized as man who
could accept a situation. But he did
neither; he has been fondling the corpse
ever since, and now sits, dangling it upon
his knee, while all others hold their noses
as they pass by on the other side. Perhaps
the best idea Of the utter uselessness of the
book can be derived from the utterances of
that hearty old rebel, Bob Toombs, when
he says: mo, sir; never intend to read
Mr.. Davis book. l do not recognize Mr..
Davis history. 1t would have been great
deal better for him and the South if it
never had been written. Most of the peo
pie in this country regret that it ever was
written. The truth is, the bulk of the PEG
pie of the South pity Davis rather than adj
mire him. The trouble with Davis was
and is that he has an exalted idea of his
own Importance. He has some ability,
but no nerve, and has not the slightest ca
pacity for managing men. have not
thing against him except his follies."

4 Slight Breeze.

On last Friday at a school not many
miles from Kirksville the teacher found
ii necessary to punish one of the small
scholars for some misdemeanor, where
the larger sisters became offended, and
concluded to thrash the teacher.
Times were said to be quite lively
for little while, so much so that the
directors had to be sent for 10 quiet the
disturbance, and it became necessary
for one of the directors to guard the
teacher home. But as she is hand
some and the director widower we
presume it was not a very unpleasant
task. We understand the pugnacious
damsels were expelled from school.
