A Washington dispatch says that
the presidents assassin Gitteau, in
dicates he firmly believes change
OF presidency would be credited to him
and that he would receive a reward
for it. In his depravity he could not
appreciate the feeling OF horror which
his act would produce in the breast Of
every true man. He imagined that
he would become great hero. While
his mind is not sound, those admitted
to see HIM do not consider him insane.
1t is plain that no jury here will pro-
nounce him insane. If tried here, he
will undoubtedly be held accountable
for the crime.

The Baker City Reveille "apologizes
for assassination" by publishing the
following, which we do not hesitate
to say contains some sound sense:
The history of the human race does
not furnish single instance where a
civilized government has totally abOl-
ished the manufacture or use of malt,
vinous or spirituous liquors. Such
measures have been attempted but al
ways failed. Public opinion Is the su-
preme law of the world, and If the acts
of the legislature are not the reflex of
public opinion they will fall lifeless to
the ground. Nothing of any moment
WAS ever accomplished by sumptuary
lave. 1t is impossible to prescribe by
legislation what man shall eat or
drink. The liquor traffic may be reg
ulated and the business may be kept
in responsible hands; but, beyond this,
legislation will fail.

The following preamble and resolutions
were adopted by the Kalsms Lodge No. II,
F. & A. NJ, at their regular communication
held on July 9th, 1881:
Whereas, 1t has seemed good to the AL
mighty dispenser of events to remove from
our midst our late worthy and esteemed
brother, Isaac Newton; and,
Whereas, The fraternal relations long
held by the deceased with the members Of
this lodge render it proper that we should
give some expression of our fraternal regards
and place Oh record our appreciation Of his
worth as a man and a Mason. Therefore, be
it resolved,
lst. That we deplore the loss Of our
brother Isaac Newton with deep feelings of
regret, softened only by the confident hope
that the Spirit is at rest with those who
have gone before; those who have fought the
good fight here and are now enjoying per.
feet happiness in that house, not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.
I'd. That we tender to his afflicted rela-
tives our sincere coincidence and earnest
sympathy in their affection at the loss of one
who was a good citizen, devoted Mason
and an upright man.
Sd. That these resolutions he spread
upon the minutes Of this lodge and that q
copy of them under seal Of this lodge he fur
nished by our secretary to the widow Of our
deceased brother and that the secretary for.
ward a copy of preamble and resolutions to
the Vancouver INDEPENDENT and request
their publication.

VANCOUVER INDEPENDENT.
THURSDAY, JULY IA, 1881.

The latest dispatches to date indi-
cate an improved condition of the
president. He is still in critical con-
dition, but hourly improving, so that
his physicians have strong hopes of
his ultimate recovery. There is still
great anxiety manifested throughout
the country, but the fears of those
nearer him are gradually being al
layed. All are anxious that he may
be announced beyond danger.

Marshaltown, who said he hoped that
President Garfield would die, was
killed by his companions. A crazy

Another one who went into the war
department and said he had reveIa-

fore the assassination excitement is
fairly over.
