"cannot but look upon the step which
Mrs. Garfield has just taken in the ply
sician's quarrel as very ill advised,''
Mrs. Garfield having certified that DR..
Bliss was not called upon by her or her
husband to attend him. We cannot as
sent to the views that this is ques-
tion about which the public no longer
concerns itself and which should be al
lowed to drop into oblivion as quickly as
possible ;" especially as it is proposed
by Congress to pay Bliss 1000 for as
suming the direction of the case as he
swore-falsely it seems-by request of
the stricken executive in his wife's pre-
sence. This would be at the rate of $500
per day-or more than twice the salary
of the president himself, and nearly
double what it is proposed to pay Drs.
Hamilton and Agnew for their distin-
guished services, summoned too late to
supplement Bliss incapacity successfully
The proposed fee is an outrageous
imposition, unless ,as we have suggested,
it is proposed to award it to Bliss for
the damage which his reputation has
suffered. Mrs. Garfield is to be highly
commended for breaking through the
reserve of her sorrow to aid in the expo
sure of one who seems to unite the quail
tiles of rapacious advehturer and pre-
tentious charlatan.

THE COLERAIN. MURDER
NEWS FKon AaAw THE HoM1c1D8.

q weeks A0e-C1ssying With l1im News
paper Accounts of the Tragedy.
It will be remembered that when James
Shaw, who murdered his wife in Colerain
township early in March, fled red-handed
from the scene of his crime, the INTELLI-
GENCER surmised that he had taken the
direction of Baltimore, thence either to
Virginia or Ireland. It afterwards traced
him to Longs mill, in Drumore township,
where he got supper at E. NJ. Stauffer's on
the night of the murder. This is ON the
route from his late home to Baltimole.
Since then nothing reliable has besn heard
of his movements. His family, though
horrifed at his crime and willing to have
him brought to judgment, were naturally
not the persons to become the pursuers
of the fugitive, and he had such start of
the $500 reward offered for him by the
commissioners that not much detective
talent has been exerc ised in the search for
him. To-day news comes from Baltimore
which indicates that death and judgment
have overtaken him. The following dis
patch was received by the INTELLIGENCEH
early this morning:
BALTIMORE, April 20.
EDITORS INTELLI0ENCER An unknown
man died in the hospital on April 13. On
his person were found clippings from the
Lancaster papers about the murder by
Jas. Shaw, at Bartville, Pa, of his wife,
dated 4th of March, NO year given. The
police believe the unknown to have been

The Grants and Knickerbockers.

lot. LOUIS
Now that General Grant has become a
Gothamite, it has become a subject Of dis.
cussion with the old Knickerbockers as TO
whether his family shall be received into
that inner and select circle of most conserv.
alive people, or allowed to find place in
the whirl of the nouveau richie. The tacit
understanding is that the Grants must make
their own society Mrs. Grant is giving
some grand receptions these days. The
name of Ulysses, she thinks, is an open ses-
anne to whatever circle she chooses TO enter.
The young Mrs. Grants go but little this
winter. Mrs. Sartoris has attended several
balls. She is said to have an old taste in
dress, and the red kid gloves she wore at the
Washington reception are not more start
ling than other toilet novelties she has worn.
General Grant has set up in business as ora
Gle of Gotham. He sits in his library, filed
with books apparently bought by the yard,
and as he smokes, nerVously turning his
cigar over and over in his mouth, he tells
"reminiscences. His memory is very great,
and now that he has no special reason TO be
a sphinx, he discusses men in public life
very freely, and with an almost unexpected
felicity OF expression, describes the different
shades of their character, dwelling, perhaps,
most upon the seamy side. where faults and
blemiShes may be seen. He has a company
of his old cronies about him, and, as one
gets glimpse OF the throng, the impression
becomes vivid that they are lot of old
toperS who have sworn off, for the color OF
the ruby has not yet left the tips of their
noses.

How Men spend Their Money.

or all mistaken notions entertained by
the world at large, the greatest is that which
leads people to assert that men spend their
money on women. It may be taken as a
rule that no man spends more money on his
female connections than he can possibly
help. There is not one man in thousand
who keeps horses who keeps them for his
wife. He keeps them FOR his own grsndeur
The proof of this is that the msjo-'ty of rich
mems wives who have handsome carriages
ere not allowed to use them on a rainy day
nor TO keep them out late at night. Even
the matter of dressing their wives and
children, it is what is essential to mans
position that Is consulted rather than the
inclination OF the individual wearers.
Men spend their money in fancy invest
ments, in prize cattle, in yachts and boats,
in clubs and societies, in pool and billiards,
cigars and wine without question of the
price, but where woman IS concerned
a man always counts the cost. Even
young men who Indulge in treating
ycung ladies' to ice cream, look at dollar
with regret wien it vanishes down tho ruby
throat, and he who wall compare his lady
loves mouth To Cupid's bow, signs over the
money he spends in employing her society.
All this proves that either men DO not sp-
preciste women. or that they are too se-
cessibie. Perhaps the true reason of mans
lack of generosity TO woman may be found
IN a false system in education, which teaches
the doctrine of selt-secri6ce u the fair eek.
About the way IF it is this: A girl is
taught that j. should be matter of pride to
make every sacrifice fer those she loves. and
she usually does it rs a mother or daughter
wife or sweetheart. This is really the most
peTnicious theory, and, if carried to extreme
limits. totally destructive OF a woman's COM
fort, for the end of it is that men forget to
be grateful, and delude themselves into the
pleasant belief that women ask for nothing
because they have not sense enough to want
anything.
GentleUlen, DO ye not deceived. The wo-
men who love you. the women who praise
you, the women who give up their lives &c
you, note accurately each one of your short
comings. There is not an act of mesnnesi
you commit that does not leave little seal
across their hearts. They may defend you
before others, excuse you to yourself, bat
deep down their sense of justice is wounded
and again your selfish view of matters, fnan.
ciaI rips open some half-healed wound il
the bosom OF some fond woman to whom yoU
fancy you hsve been posing as wise auC
prudent man. Happy is woman who ha.
grown callous to mans sneers about hel
grasping propensities. Happier still are
those bright young souls, who, realizing al
their own attractions can unblushingly say
Il am Worth all that this world has to ofe
of luxury aud comfort, and am determined
10 have it," Perhaps too much self-sscri
flee is not good for either man CT woman.

A Washington special says:
Marshal Henry, who has recently returned "a
Washington from a visit to Mira Garfield at Cleve-
land, O., said in conversation with your cores
pendent this morning, that all stories OF Mrs.
Garfield'S sympathy with the assassin OF her hus
band were baseleSs ana in fact that the subject

her husband. She bears up brayely. however
under her trial, and is the same devoted mother
to her children that she has always been. It was
wonderful how she could be so composed during
her terrible ordeal last summer, but those who
know her best feared that she would never re
cover from the strain upon her system. He
thought that, surrounded as she now was by old
friends, she would soon recover her wonted
spirits.
The Marshal was very severe in his deuuncia

too severe for the wretch, and that the sooner he

FITZ JOHN 2 ORTER.
His Case Favorably Considered and He
win be Reinstated TO the Army With the
Rank of Colonel of Infantry

Lank OF Colonel or Infantry.
WASHINGTON, Feb. %. The President and Cab
inet have, so il is semi-officlally announced. de-
cided in favor of the restoration of Fitz John
Porter 10 the Army. The only question in con-
necsicn win the case that is undecided is as @
as Colonel OF the Regular Army and as Major
General of Volunteers. The question now Is
whether his back pay as Major General would
would terminate in 1866, when other Major Gen
erals were mustered out OF service. This question
has been referred TO the Attorney General for his
opinion. The President will nominate Porter as
Colonel Of infsnty, to fill the first vacancy, and
Porter viii PROBABLY ask to be retired.
The Star says: The case OF General Fitz John
Porter has been several times before the Cabinet
and favOrsbly considered. IL is said 10 be the
opinion OF the Administration and its determine
ton that Porter should be given all justice to
which he is entitled. The decision of the Advi-
sOrr Bard that Porter was not only unjustly
dealt with, but that II Ii had not been for him
there would have been great disaster TO the Union
Army has had great weight with the President
and Cabinet" General SchoGeld was President
Of the Advisory Board. II was stated in the Star
yesterday that the case had been referred to the
Attorney General for decision. The principal
point upon which that oficial will decide
will be in regard % the mastering
out of Porter from the volunteer force.
General Porter was, when cashicTed, Major Gen
eral of NOiunTeeTs aud a Colonel in the Regular
Army OF the Fifteenth Infantry. The question is
when his back pay as Major General of Volunteers
shall cease? There is now no such force under
the Government employ as volunteer force. The
question IS whether II shall be back pay TO Gen
ersi Porter or whether he can claim il 10 the date
of his proposed reinstatement? lie can only be
retnstateG by his nomination TO the Senate and a

of Infantry 10 fill the first vacancy. The question
OF the date Of his being mustered out as Major

ion OF the Attorney General. IL is estimated that
when confirmed by the Senate as Colonel of the
Regular Army Porter will be entitled 10 about
els. 900 back nav. When Porter was caShiered he
was forever disqualified from holding any Office
of public trust or profit. The nomination TO be

doubt will carry with it pardon from all diSa-
