PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

THE convention of the National
Observation-Disclosures party, at st. Louis, March
9Th, was not largely attended. Two plat
forms were prepared. The first demands
the abolition Of banks of issue; that the
United States bonds be declared due at once
and paid at the convenience of the Govern
ment; that homesteads be not sold for tax
es; that a Bureau Of Statistics be estab-
hshed at Washington; that the President
and Vice President be elected directly by
the people, and that Foreign Ministers when
not elected by the people be chosen by both
houses of Congress. A blow was given to
monopolies and demand was made that ev-
cry citizen over 20 years of age be admitted
to the full rights of citizenship. The second
platform covered the points given above
and recommended that correspond
ence be commenced with tho
-. Harper faction of the party, looking
to the calling of Joint convention to be
held in November. Sympathy was expressed
for the people of Ireland in the struggle
against their oppressors, and q stronger
whack was given to monopolists. The SUBJ
iect of harmonizing the two factions was
treated at length and the attainment of that
end strongly urged. The majority report
of the committee on platform and organza-
ton was adopted; but it was resolved "that
II the objects desired to be gained as ex-
pressed therein are not consummated by the
30th of June, 1882, it be the special instruc-
tion of this assemblage to the National Ex-
ecutive Committee to proceed, without
calling an extra convention, to issue the
minority report of said committee on reso-
buttons and platform as a supplement to the
platform of the convention OF the Green
back-Labor party held in st. Louis in 1880,
as platform Of principles of the Green
back-LabOr party now in convention assem-
bled."
DR.. BoYNToN has written to DR.. Bax-
ter, Medical Purveyor of the United States
Army, that DR.. Bliss was never placed in
charge OF President Garfield's case by any
member of the family, and that he contin-
ued to act without authority. On the back
of this letter is an Endorsement of its con-
tents by Mrs. Garfield. The document is
eing circulated among Senators and mem
Ders Of Congress, to defeat the payment of
the amount awarded to DR.. Bliss.
In regard to General Garfield's part
in the removal of General Rosecrans, a
Washington paper gives story that Mont
gomery Blair ascertained that President
Lincoln was guided by Garfield's represen-
tations more than any other influence. The
ecent publication of an alleged letter to
Salmon p. Chase from the late President
moves General Rosecrans to remark that he
would have rt-martialed General Gar
field had he known OF the communication.

is one vast sea OF water. People all through
this submerged region are utterly destitute
and in starving condition. Their stock has
been drowned and they are living in gin
houses, stable lofts and upper stories of
cabins. Hundreds are subsisting on psrched
corn; many have been temporarily relieved
by the distribution OF rations, but others
could not be reached and their sufferings
are very great. All published reports have
fallen far short Of giving an idea OF the dam
age that has been done or the restitution
prevailing.

GUITEAU is still of the opinion that
the argument for new trial before the court
in bapc will result favorably. He is overrun
with visitors, and he importunes most Of
them to buy his picture and autograph. He
has saved considerable money, which is to
60 to the best legal talent in the country for
defending him. He is represented by his
guards as being very docile and with an ex-
IRENE regard for neatness in his person,
"for,' he says, "the ladies like me to
look WE'LL" His sole aim now seems to be
to make money to pay his lawyers to get him
out Of trouble, and he is continually con-
irving new schemes for the purpose. He
imagines that his book, "The Truth, 4" will
be in great demand at 81 per copy, and he
devotes considerable time to preparing a
new edition. This matter, however, he has
turned over to Mr.. Scoville, who will make
the contracts for printing, binding and dis
tribution; but Guiteau wants every cent Of
the proceeds turned over to him for his
necessities.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.

Mrs. HARRIET BELL, of Boston,
Mass, was acosted at the door Of her resi-
dence, the other morning, by a man who fol-
lowed her into the house, and soon came out
and walked away. Almost Immediately it
was discovered that she had been stabbed in
the neck; and in two minutes she was dead.
That the assault was committed by some
person who bore an Intense hatred against
the woman is indicated by the fact that the
autopsy reveals nine distinct and separate
cuts on the neck and breast, made by a
broad baded knife, and most Of them deep
and wide enough to cause the victim TO bleed
to death.
RICHARD s. FAY, prominent and
wealthy Bostonian, committed suicide by
blowing out his brains with q revolver, on
board the steamer Tennessee, while on a

Some years ago he was stabbed by the late
DR.. Aver, of Lowell, Mass, but recovered
almost entirely from the effects Of the
wound.
ALFRED BELL, of Erie, Pa, recently

East Atchison, Mo-, met horrible fate the
other day. While playing near the track
with her twin sister and little boy, the
child's clothing suddenly burst into flames.
The children screamed for assistance, and
William Belcher. who was near, rushed to
the rescue; but before he could remove her
clothing, in doing which his hands were
badly singed, the child was burned to a
crisp. 1t is supposed that spark from a
passing locomotive set fire to the girls
clothing.

she refused TO have it administered To the
child, as she was strongly in favor of Ho-

suffering, and the parents without sleep.
Returning home the day following, the
father found the baby Still worse; and while
contemplating another Sleepless night, the
mother stepped from the room to attend to
some domestic duties, and left the father
with the child During her absence he ad-
