The Fourth i'm Mineral Point

/ The glorious Fourth was approprl-
ately celebrated in this city, notwith-
standing the fact that celebrations
were held in nearly every town and
village in the county. the streets of the
CITY were ihronged with people from
early morn until late at night. The
exercises of the day commenced at
about ii o'clock Prayer was offered
by Rev. l.. II. jenkins, who after
wards delivered the Grafton, which
was replete with glowing thoughts.
/ The orator gave evidence of 4 very
I extensive knowledge of history. lie
spoke mainly without manuscript, and
the familiar manner with which he
reeounted historical truths, proved
/ him to be master of his subject. In
the Grafton, as in the prayer, he alluded
/ to the gloom which oyerspread the
nation. The President of the republic
Law ut the point Of death from the
bullet Of an assassin. A day which
should have been a day of joy had
been turned into day of mourning.
4 The music discoursed by the band
/ throughout the day was highly appre-
ciated by everybody. The band is now
one Of the best in the state, having
/ recently purchased new instruments
and spent much time in practicing new
and difficult pieces Of music. Its APP
pearance and fine playing on the
Fourth reelected credit upon the city.
| The fun of the day commenced in
the afternoon, when the grand pro-
cession Of "home guards and 'home
bummers' appeared on the streets.
The cage Of wild animals surmounted
by an elephant larger than any ever
exhibited by Barnnm. attracted the
most attention. TIN !" &c contained
I donkey, Il billy goat ss.,' i number OF
other animals together with their
keeper. Various trades and professions
were represented in the procession,
hardly anybody being overlooked. The
stores and ether business places of

with flags, banners, notices &c.: and IN
the evening many places We're brilliant
IL illuminated The fireworks were put
off III the evening and made 4 very
fine display.

The Prasident,s Inability.

The Washington Republican CT yesterday
comments upon It's WI remarkable article
OF the day before relative TO the Presidents
disability, winding up with the following
emphatic declaration /:
"There can never be but one President
at one time, and that enc can never consist
OF more than one man at one time."
That strikes US as sound doctrine,
aud also as totally Inconsistent with the
ssplans" TO which we referred yesterday
for supplementing Mr.. GARFIELD's services
with those Of Mr.. ARTHUR. That Mr.. GAR-
FIELD could declare bis own "inabiliy I"
aud ask Mr.. ARTHUR TO take his Office of
his hands, we do not believe. That Mr..
GARFIELD could authorize anybody to ex-
efcise the functions Of bis office, we do
not believe. That the Cabinet has no
power in the premises, we know. There
Is no such thing as a Cabinet recognized by
the Constitution II such q thing was ever
contemplated by the fathers. The Cabinet,
therefore, is absolutely powerless. The
President is poweriess. There is no power
on earth except the President and Congress
together that can provide for the existing
emergency. IL the President should die,
there would be no longer any difficulty.
MIR. Arthur would at once become PTesi.

A SERIOUS JOKE.-Does the reader recol-
lect the title of the R%IDDLfBERGER bill? 1t
reminds US Of the titles the Republicans a
few years ago put to their bills for harrass'
ing the South. These all bore such titles as
were well calculated TO commend them TO
public favor; but the bodies OF them were
intended for the destruction rather than the
restoration OF the southern States. So the
RnDLEBERGER bill is sotirically called "a
Bill 10 ReestabIish tue Public Credit"

poses to repudiate some thirteen millions OF

RAISs.-H is pleasant even to read about
rains nowadays. We therefore quote
from the Cincinnati Commercial its state
ment that cloudiness and rain prevailed in
the after part OF wednesday over the ONO
Valley and Tepnessee &c, the Southwest, the
Missouri and Upper Mississippi Valleys.
Although but little rain fell in Cincinnati
tabout a quarter Of an-lnch), generous rains
occurred in other sections. In central
Iowa over two inches fell within eight
hours. In central Illinois oyerthree inches.
Let us still hope for an early ram here.
