merely, not granting lands nor reyivinR dor

Britain took advantage Of our difficulties and
forced our Government to accept every con-

me that since that time our Secretaries OF State

substance Of what President GARFIELD said about
Blaine was: FIRST. that no one ac. .uiesced more
readily and chcerfully than Blaine with the an
that the members would be expected te confine
themselves TO their respective departments.

that AZ to tho New York Appointments

responsibility was with himself. aud that h, re-

were attempts to belittle his tthe Presidents,

that matter was that President Garfield. feeling
greatly di <nrbed by the New York difficulties,
thought 10 solve them Iy fOld stroke
that would he sufficient notice OF his
purpose to lie himself President and to recog-

had been against him. He believed 1t was his
duty first to assert himself, and 1t was his

continued, aud have only to add that the i'm
partial student Of this unhappy chapter Of his
tory will find that all the events are consistent
with the theory that President Garfield, who
deeply felt his responsibility as the Chief Mag
istrate, WAS stung by the charge that he was
weak in will and was blown about snd pul ed
around by various persons, and he meant by his
action in the New York appointments TO make
known that he WAS the President, and must be
considered accordingly.

Hon. John X. Eden, Of Moultrie

avoirdupos. These candidate are now
in Dillingham; County, where it is con
ceded the seat of war lies, Judge Phillips
spoke every night last week and has APP
pointments made for all this week
1t is generally conceded now that he
stands the best show for the nomination,
with Eden tghting like a Turk at his
heels and Yancey bringing up the rear
1t is also understood that if Yancey sees
he has no show he will throw his intlu-
ence to Phillips. The bingham County
Convention meets the 18th, and one of
the warmest times ever experienced in
that county is expected. Should Eden
obtain a majority in that convention he
will be nominated on the first ballot,
though every effort is being made to pre-
vent him from doing so. The Congress
sional Convention meets in LitChtield
July 10, which is considered favorable to
Phillips as owing to his judicial duties he
has less time for canvassing than his OPP
ponentS.

Circus.
After Week of Diligent Searching She
is Found and Restored to Her
Sorrowing Mother.

CHICAGO, ILL, May l3.-For a week
Mrs, Goodwin, living at No, 1910 Dear
born street, has been mourning the loss
OIL her iayorite and youngest child. Last
night she found her in the arena of sec
ond-class circus, that has been exhibiting
for some time at the corner of State and
Thirty-siXth streets
Mrs. Goodwin is wealthy widow, who
has lived for some years at No. 1910
Dearborn street. She has several chill
dren, grown men and women, but all of
her affection seemed conferred on her
daughter Nellie, bright and extremely
pretty child, fourteen years old. The
glrl, as might be supposed, was spoiled
by her mother and elder brothers and sis
tiers, and Of late has been but little amen
able to parental control. A week ago
she disappeared from home, and all at
temptS to find her proved vain. The pc
lice made as thorough search as possible,
put with no results, and the entire neigh
borhoOd was excited over the case. No
tldings of the lost girl could be had. For
some time past a circus, so-called, had
been exhibiting at the corner Of State and
Iwenty-siXth streets, and nightly few
decrepit and spawned horses prauced
around a saw-dust ring, while tiaring
gasoline lamps shed dim light and diff
fused offensive odors over the servant
girls and butchers who made up the slim
crowd OF spectators. George W. Hall,
known as "Pop-corn George" was the
manager and proprietor. Mrs. Goodwin
was satisfied that her daughter had Joined
these circus people, but repeated visits
Of her own to the performance failed to
discover her, and the mother was con-
yinced that Nellie was hid whenever she
appeared. So last night young lady
named Jennie Hopkins, who was ac-
quainted with the lost child, went to the cir
Gus in company with policeman from the
Cottage Grove avenue station, and in the
small dressing-room of the tent the miss
Ing girl was found. She was at once
taken back to her mother The girl
would give no reason for her fight, save
that she wanted to travel with circus,
but it is thought that an attache of the
concern here imposed upon her credulity
and estranged her young affections.
