President Garfield's Struggle for Life.

President Garfleld's Struggle for Life.
Since our last issue President Garfield has
been in the valley of the shadow of death,
and his condition is even yet so critical as
almost to preclude the hope that he will re-
cover. The relapse occurred last Monday
food, and his pulse ran up to 1901 pulsations
in minute, being nearly as rapid as ON the
day he was shot, and almost double its nor
NAL condition in health. His temperature was
also alarmingly high. The official bulletins,
cautiously worded as they were, failed to
convey any hope, and the news created pro-
found excitement over the country. The
President is extremely weak and emaciated
and the present trouble seems to be entirely
with his stomach and has no connection with
the wound, the appearance of which is con
sidered favorable.
The latest news yesterday was that slight
improvement had taken place, but only suf
ficient to enable the physicians to say thai
the scales were turning towards recovery.
The country is brought face to face will
the fact that President Garfield's life hang.
by slender thread, which may snap at an,
moment, and many persons are looking will
apprehension and dread to the consequence
which would follow his death. If Mr.. Ar
thur should be called upon to succeed Mr.
Garfield, we do not believe the fears of thes
persons would be realized Our country i
too great and prosperous and its citizens to-
patriotic to allow their material interests t.
be sacrificed by party broils. Besides, MI
Arthur's demeanor, since President CARTEL
was shot has been that of man who real
ICES the delicacy of the position in whicl
he may be placed, and is determined to Civ
no room for the charge that he WILL if calle
to the trust, administer it as a partisan, w
can therefore see no reason to believe tina
any great trouble will beiall the country,
the worst happens to President Garfield
We may hope for his recovery, but we shoul
not forget that there is a higher power tina
guides nations as well as individuals, and GU
country is safe in His hands.

The Governor and the Registers.

The trials of officers of registration of Bal.
timore city and Anne Arundel county, be-
fore Governor Hamilton, have not developed
any facts showing them to have been guilty
of fraudulent practices in connection with
their duties. One thing, however, has been
made more apparent than ever before, name.
ly, that new registration is imperatively de-
handed. In no other way can the lists be
purged of the names of voters who have
died or removed The registers very proper
" declined to strike from their lists names
presented to them unless the applicants
would make oath that they knew the persons
were dead or had removed. Names of per
sons no longer voters in the ward or precinct
where they are registered have accumulated
on the books from time to time, and it may
be that dishonest persons have frauduently
vote upon such names, but not to any great
extent, we imagine. A new registration
would purge the lists of all such names, and
it is only by frequent new registrations that
the lists can be kept pure.
MS u lll vi lnt icSlSiClS w us W
be uncalled for. Ifany register has VIOLATE
his oath, let him he brought to trial before q
court Of Justice. No one can say with truth
that our courts are corrupt or under partisan
influences. Ifany of the egisters are guilty
of dereliction in matters left to their discre
tion'or judgment, let the Governor appoint
others in their places. He doubtless has the
right, under the Constitution, to remove any
of his own appointees for unfaithfuness in
performing the duties of their office
A new registration was needed in 1870 rs
much ms it is now, and the Democrats in the
Legislature prepared a law, which passed the
Senate hut was defeated in the House by the
Repuhica aided by certain Democrats
The next Legislature, we hope, will frame
and enact such law, and give us n new and
pure registration 1t is only by pure bal
lot and II fair count that an honest govern
mcnt can exist.
