Augusta. Tuesday Morning, July 4.


Ayear ago the celebration of the natal day
Of The government was . day Of mourning
caused BY the shooting Of the President Of
the United States. which had been done
two days before. Though it was not
known that the shots fired by Guiteau
would prove fatal, and hopes were enter
tanned that the President might survive,
there was yet enough in the situation to
change the great day of national rejoic-
ing into one of deep sorrow and humilia-
ton. The heart Of the nation was with
Garfield on his couch Of pain at Washing
tim, and fervent prayers went up from all
over the land that the life of the stricken
President might be spared. 1t was time
that will never be forgotten by those who
Witnessed It.
Another year has rolled around. The
murdered President is in mis- grave. to
which his ashes were followed by the
tears and blessings Of this great people
and marks Of worldwide respect from
other nationalities. His assassin has been
tried, convicted. executed, and his body
now fills despised grave in corner Of
the Jail yard in which he was confined
for almost year. The outraged law has
been avenged. Monuments are rising to
the martyred President. The fate Of the
murderer serves as dread warning
against repetition Of murder upon the
President Of this nation.
This day. then. the people will assem-
BILE themselves as has been their custom
since the birth Of our government. and
with rejoicing celebrate the great event
which made us nation Of free men.
Men die but the nation lives. great, free.
glorious. 1t would be folly to say that
we stand as people where we should
had Garfield lived to carry out his pur-
poses. but there is enough in our circum-
stances to cause the hearts of our people
to swell with pride and hope and to rejoice
with great joy over the results which have
followed the adoption and maintenance Of
the Declaration Of Independence by the
statesmen and heroes of l776.

LONG BRANCH, July 3.
The inquest over the victims Of the rail-
road accident was resumed today. The evil
dence goes to prove that the accident was
caused by Alexander, the foreman who
placed the switch into position, he having
neglected to have it properly spiked down
with steel plates under it.
The jury were out over two hours, and the
verdict is that the accident was caused by
the spreading of switch and bridge. and
that the New York Long Branch Railroad
is guilty of gross, culpable negligence.
