Monday afternoon last Messrs.
Frank Kavanah, Charles Faulk aud
Mortimer Fischer, all of HALEY, were
mnrdercusly attacked by IA young man
named Quiggley. 1t seems that the
three gentlemen were going up a guch

were compelled to take down a por-
ton OF the fence to get through, and

knocked down and Faulk, as an officer
arrested Qniggley, but the man resist,

three shots, one of which took effect
IN Faulk's leg. In the evening several
citizens went up to Quiggley's place
and brought him down to HALEY

For weeks and months past bill pro-
posing to appropriate $3.50, 900 for the
payment of expenses of the illness and
burial of President Garfield has re-
posed in possession of Judge Taylor,
Chairman Of the Special Committee
appointed to audit these expenses
One item Of $4,000 in this bill was
designed to pay the physicians. There
was minority report from tie com.
n.ttee, protesting against the pay
ment OF the sums recommended, and
Joe Blackburn Of Kentucky, fortified
with vouchers for whisky, wines and
cigars furnished on the funeral train
to Cleveland, proposed to fight the
majority report. Judge Taylor
knowing that Blackburn was heavily
loaded with cruel facts, was afraid OF
consultation, and it was decided that
the Senate should insert a clanse in
the General Deficiency bill to pay the
expenses. Cprkhill offered an amend
ment reducing the appropriation tc
$4,000, and in that form the bill
passed.

Political Assessments.

The Economist of Boston, the best
monetary journal in this country, gives.
the following as the results of the
sp ills system OF government:
All persons under government pay
| in and about Boston have, during the
past month, received circulars request
ing them to contribute to the funds OF
the Congressional Campaign Commit
tee not less than stated percentage
of their salary. All other government
officers in the country have been, or
will soon be, treated to the same kind
of documents. The circular is SO
worded as to leave the recipient unln-
formed upon the vital point of the pen
atty for negligence. This slight omis-
sion is the strong point in the paper
We doubt if any Of the Boston custom
house officials will be brave enough to
face the possible removal, which might
result from refusal to comp ly with
the request. The act is one which
should be bounded by all respectable
people. 1t is simple blackmail. If
these officers have been paid extraor
binary wages, to whom are we to look
for the fault. if not to Congressman,
and the party which carries through
the appropriations which are to pay
these officers? And the question would
naturally como-Why were these men
given such large salaries! For the pur-
pose Of perpetuating certain faction,
and that faction the present majority?
The bad effect of such a course ON
trade, on every branch Of industry, as
Il as on politics, is easily seen. On
the other hand, if these officers are
paid only in proportion to the market
value of their labor, this tax is an i'm
position which is resolved to them in
to the alternative of taking half loaf
or none. The day is not far distant
when the people will learn to apprecl-
ate the tricks of these schemers, and
break up the political machines. The
government of this country was in
tended for the benefit Of the people,
and the offices were created for the
good Of the public, and not for the ad-
vantages of political parties.
