The elder Mrs. Garfield was greatly
ohcoi cd ruul comforted by the letter which
her wounded .-on sent lierlad week. The
letter, which bos appeared in the Cleveland
Leader, run3 thus: “Doar Mother: Don’t

my jeonuition. It is true I am still weak
and on my back; but I am gaining every
day, and need only time and patienoe to
bring me through. Give my love to all the

James A. Garfield.”
I bkuubu one day in Sacramento, says
a Oalutoi .ua preacher, I saw four or five lit
tle boys sitting on the curbstone taking
turns smoking n cigar stump they had
picked up on the streets. I stopped, and
tapping cue little fellow on the shoulder,
said: "My dear boy, do not do that. You
don’t know how bad it looka. Throw away
that, cigar, and give up the habit.” The lit-
tlo chap, turning around and facing tac,
said, a,, ha emitted a volume of smoke
from bis mouth, “1 would, eir, but I can’t
do witliout it.”
Tits hero of tho hoar in New Mexico is
Patsy Garrett, who -recently killed “Billy

seven. tall, slender and agile, with brown
eyes, golden hair and a soft voice, and as
he walks through the streets the very chil
dren eU>;i to gaze at him with an admiring
stare. Borne difficulty having's risen with
respect to the official reward which Garrett
expected to receive for killing tiuf notorious
outlaw, the people of the territory have set
about raising a fund for him. Already the
sum of $1,200 has been collected in Las
Vegas atone.
A bibi’s grave at Glasgow, Maryland, re
ceived for nine yean the most careful at
tention, flowers being frequently plnuted
on it, and the sod always kept in perfeat
order. Mr. Brown and Mrs. EUison, each
unknown to the other, were doing this
work or love. Each had lost an infant, and
suppose J this was its grave. Brown erect
ed a tombstone lately, and then arose a
controversy, Mrs. EUison insisting that
it must bo taken down. The church an-
liioritiM held several meetings of investi
gation without reaching any conclusion,
ned then somebody suggested that a neg
lected grave near the dispuied one bo
opened. This was done, anl Brown con
ceded that tue coffin found therein was the
one that h«»s enclosed bis child. The stone
has been removed.
An Important Assemblage.
On last Tuesday, the “Association for
the Reformation and Codification of the
Law of Nations,” met in Cologne in their
ninth annual session. Their last SC3S Ion
was held about a year ago in Berne and
was attended by the representatives of
fourteen nationalities, including those of
India and Japan. The list of subjects
discussed was not extended. Among the
more important were negotiable securi
ties, consular jurisdiction in Oriental
countries, copyright, submarine tele
graph cables, and tho conflict of laws re
lating to domicile and marriage. That
which most concerns the United States is
the subject of “copyrights;” however, all
the other questions will claim the atten
tion of the thoughtful. As edndators,
these gatherings are important, and when
the public comes to properly appreciate
them and their mission, thoy will become
popular. “
Tbe American representatives thil year
are Hon. John Jay, who is associated
with General James Grant Wilson In tho
copyright committee; David Dudley Field
and Charles A. Peabody. General Clin
ton B. Fisk, of St. Louis, will also attend
tbe deliberations of t^s body.
Bad for tbo Cbnrcbea.
Neal Dow charges that tho churches are
not in full sympathy with the temperance
movement, and attributes tbo slow prog
ress made in tbe work of suppressing tbe
liquor traffic. Whether true or false, he
puts the case strongly. He says whenever
“a popular vote comes directly upon the
question of license or prohibition to grog
shops, a large number of church members
are found upon tbe side of license. Iu
many of our States there is au annual vote
in the cities and towns upon tbe question
of‘license’or‘no license,’ and whenever
tbe license ticket wins it is by tbe helping
vote of church members.”
Can It be Prohibited?
There is a demand for more prohibi
tion, and tbe objectors will be ready with
tho unanswerable question, “Does prohi
bition prohibit?” This prohibition de
manded does not directly lie in the lino of
whisky, although very closely allied to
it. It is the prohibition of carrying con
cealed weapons, and is more deadly in its
Influence than whisky itself.
Coming out of the old State House Mu
seum In New Haven, Conn., recently, we
were accosted by tbe gentleman who re
ceives tbe tickets, he having learned that
we were from the South—“When are yon
going to quit carrying pistols and shooting
people down in yonr country ?” Onr an
swer was, “When yon Northerners quit
making and selling them ?” On the walls
inside the building were the oxblbitsof
four or five manufacturers of fire-arms,
and we bad just been looking at them,
and bad been indulging in some serious
reflections upon the whole subject.
Men do not purchase a revolver for a
mantel or parlor ornament, albeit some
are very handsomely mounted and are
very costly In price. They do not procure
them to lay away in their trunks or
wardrobes, to be brought out only on hol
idays. If they were not to bo put to active
usetbousands would never be purchased.
Their fancied utility creates tho demand
for them, and when once procured they
find a resting place in tbo convenient hip-
pocket, and upon the slightest provocation
they leap from their secret hiding to do the
work of death.
The averago Connecticut man believes
the Southern people to be a band of ruf
fians and barbarously inclined, just like tbe
doorkeeper at tbo State House museum.
While there Is as much refinement and gen
uine culture in tbe South as there are in
New England according to the population,
yet there has been some ground for the
expression of tbe old man at tbo door.
Tbe pistol lias been too common among
us. And if there has been any argument
which a legislator recognizes tor the sup
pression of tho manufacture and sale of
intoxicating liquors, the same arguments
will hold good against the manufacture
and sale of these concealed weapons.
The South is no longer to be charged
with this crime alone. So great and dis
astrous has been tbe practice in tbe “City
of Brotherly Love,” tbe peaceful city;of
Philadelphia, that Mayor King has issued
proclamation against the practice, in
which he says:
The law is plain and clear, and its vio
lation without excuse. Experience has
demonstrated the wisdom of the law and
the imperative necessity for its rigid en
forcement.
“Whosoever carries concealed deadly
weapons carries also tho concealed thought
of murder.
“Tbe class who go ready armed to an
swer a word with a dead 6bot must now bo
taught an abiding lesson of obedience to
tho supremacy of law and a proper respect
for the right and personal safety of others.
To go armed in a great city, where tho of
ficers of law are constantly within call, is a
standing menace of the criminal and
thoughtless classes against tho peace and
order of society, which shall no longer be
tolerated.”
While we think tbe mayor a little too
sweeping in his declaration, “Whosoever
carries concealed deadly weapons also
carries the concealed thought of murder,”
yet there is some plausibility in this
charge. If a man, ever so peaceably dis
posed, have in his hip pocket one of these
weapons, he Is liable to become a mur
derer under sudden provocation.
Judge Allison, of Philadelphia, thinks
tbe Federal and State constitutions give
tbe people the right to carry concealed
weapons, and therefore there Is no way to
prevent this barbarous practice. All the
constitution says about tbe business Is
contained in article II. of tbe amend
ments, which reads: “A well-regulated
militia being necessary to the security ol
a free State, the right oi the people to
keep and bear arms shall not be in
fringed.” Now tho word “infringe”
means to break into or through, to violate
the wholeness, or enilrcness, or Integrity;
to break down; to destroy. Laws against
the carrying of concealed or deadly weap
ons do not infringe or destroy the right to
bear arms at all.
This learned jurist forgets that this
amendment refers solely to the militia
who are to defend the lives and property
ol the citizens. This they do openly, and
it is right under such circumstances to
bear arms, but the "secreted deadly
weapon” can find no covering in this
amendment. Kentucky has a law re
quiring every one disposed to carry weap
ons of this character, to carry them on
the outside of his outer garment. While
this method would undoubtedly render a
man very conspicuous, it would neverthe
less put Ills neighbor on gnard. This law,
however, has never been enforced, yet
itj is tbe most reasonable solution of this
subject, if arms are to be carried.
We are of tbo opinion that the authori
ties have tbe same right to prohibit in
this matter, as well as in tbe matter of
spirituous liquors. Tho one is based upon
the same ground as the other, tbe public
peace and welfare, and the prohibition of
both seems almost an imperative necessi
ty. Mayor King closes I113 proclamation
with the following appeal to tbo citizens:
“It will be highly gratifying to me to
have tbe law enforced in onr city by a
strong and decided public sentiment,
which would crush out the iniquitous
practice and give another striking evidence
of the capacity of the American people for
self-government.”
Not So Bad Alter All.
The report ol the Agricultural Depart
ment on the 15th instant revealed tho fact
that the falling off in spring wheat will
not be so large as has been predicted,
and also that the decrease In the Western
corn crop will not be so great as was ex
pected, although tbe Southern crop will
be small. This is tho view many took
of the outlook some time ago.
The sadden curtailment of tbe trans
portation business of the country has led
many to conjecture that the difficulty was
In the shortness of material to ship. Cat
tbe truth is the enormous trade in bread-
stuff* the last three years was wholly ex
ceptional and could not be expected to con
tinue, except on tbe assumption that Eu
rope was to bo forever afflicted with short
crops and wc blessed with abundant ones.
Nevertheless, a great many thoughtless
people have assumed that this temporary
inflation wo3 to be perpetual, and because
there lias been a temporary lull, they Im
agine that our crops are ruinously short
and our export trade will suffer greatly
therefrom. The European crops are bet
ter than last year, and the deficiency will
not be so great, bnt wc will find a demand
for all our surplas in her marts. To moct
wbat seems to bo tho impending change,
there ought to be a prudent taking In of
sail, however, to meet any emergency
that may follow.

Tbe First Symptom
Of Immediate danger in tbe President's
last relapse, took place Saturday flight.
The New York Sun Washington corres
pondent says “the President wa3 then dis
turbed by a most terrible nightmare. He
dreamed that he was being dissected by
tbe doctors. With a cry of terror he
awoke, and although the unreal vision
vanished, he was so much unmanned by
it that it was some time before he Could
control his nerves. That dream was duo
to the disordered state of his stomach; at
any rate it was followed by gastric dis
turbances and by very great nervousness,
His sleep was spoiled lor the night, al
though he succeeded in catching a few
troubled naps before daybreak.”
Tee Ixtehxatioxal Review.—Mr.
Robert P. Porter, special agent of tbe
tenth census on statistics of wealth, debt
and taxation, says: “For the last six
years I have tekeu the four English Quar
terlies; the three English monthly re
views and the American reviews. Of all
these, I find the International Review the
most valuable. It is purely American,
and fully up to the times witliout being
sensational, and all tbe articles arc of per
manent value. As an exponent of ad
vanced American thought, and of Ameri
can progress, there is nothing equal to the
International Review. Such genuine,
hearty, intelligent praise of a great enter
prise such as Messrs. A. S. Barnes & Co.,
have undertaken, is in the highest degree
gratifying to them, and an evidonce of
their success. Tho Review is veiy gener
ally commended now as the-best maga
zine of its kind. Address Messrs. A. S.
Barnes & Co., New York.
We know the following most be a
slander, for didn’t this valiant “Jcdge”

“Judge” Tourgec, in a burst of pious
eloquence delivered before tbo Sunday-
school convention atCbautauqua, remark
ed that “no man is tbe head of a party.
Its bead is in tbo hearts of the citizens.”
Some scoffers have gone so far as to assert,
and oven to cite tho records of conrt3 In
proof of the assertion, that when this
same “Judge” Tourgee passed for the
head of the Republican party in North
Carolina, its bead was mostly in tbe
pockets of the citizens.
Tee Lin'd Bill Accepted.—The
Archbishop of Cashel, Ireland, in reply to
au address from the Charleville branch of
the Land League, strongly recommends
the people of Ireland to give the land bill
a trial. He accepts it as a great boon and
blessing, and calculated to do immeasur
able good to tbe tenant farmers. This is
good advice, and wisdom would dictate
au acceptance of It. Its acceptance will
greatly ameliorate ths sutering of the
Irish people and bring qniet and peace to
the island.
Rugbv.—This new English colony in
the mountains of Tennessee has been vis
ited with what seems to be an epidemic
of typhoid fever, If such a disease could be
epidemic. After due search, tbo cause of
tbo twenty cases was discovered to have
originated in the foul drinking water.
That this could be in a mountain country
famons for its pure streams and flowing
springs seemed impossible, and yet it is
true* Two have died. Physicians from
Cincinnati have gono to the town, and a
regular hospital has been established. We
hope the reign of sickness will be short,
and with no further loss of life.

Just what the Georgia Legislature is
goingjo do with the urgent request of
thousands of the best citizens of tbe State
to take some action npon the whisky
traffic, is not yet discernible. The peo
ple have been watching closely the move
ments of each House, and although a per
fect flood of bills have flowed in upon the
subject, seemingly but few ever reach tho
surface, and fewer become laws. The
general law, which wa3 made the order
of the day in the Senate in tho early part
ol the week, was defeated.
That some positive legislation upon
this subject should bejenacted is the de
sire, wo believe, of a majority of tbe citi
zens of tbe State. Just what that legisla
tion should bo is a matter of dispute
among many of tbe best and most en
lightened temperance workers in the com'
monweallh. Some clamor for an extreme
prohibitory statute, while others, in onr
opinion more wisely, are content with a
liberal local option law. We. do not be
lieve that public sentiment has been
sufficiently educated upon this
point to receive It. Whenever tho le
gal punishment for any crime
is too severe, in the popular estimation,
it is impossible to executo tho statute.
There must be a healthy public opinion
on tbe subject before any law can become
operative. There most be a prepondera
ting influence In the community in fa7or
of the execution of any statute, before it
avails anything for the suppression of
crime. This we have not realized yet
upon the temperance question in Georgia*
There are forces at work that cannot now
be overcome against a sweeping prohibi
tory law. Wisdom would, therefore, dictate
to accept tbe next most desirable measure,
and that we believe to be a well-digested
local option law. Such a measure has
proven effectual in many counties of the
State, and the influence of its observance
ha3 done more to educate public senti
ment upon this subject, than all else com
bined. Let tbe people in each county de
cide this important question for them
selves, and when a majority are in favor
of banishing whisky, snch a law can be
excuted. You can no more reform peo
ple by law than yon can make a man a
Christian by law. There must be an ac
ceptance of the truth, and a belief
in its beneficent results, be
fore “tbe fruits of tho Spirit” are
manifested. So, also, in this temperance
movement, if tbo sentiments of tbe people
are against It, even if tbo Legislature were
to pass a prohibition act it could not be
enforced against tbe wishes of tbe people*
Even the best ot men do not like to make
themselves perpetually unpopular by tbe
constant strife necessary to tbe practical
enlorcement of snch a measure. The law
to lie successfully executed must be rep
resentative of tbe sentiment predominat
ing in tbe community. When we reach
this point in Georgia, then, and not until
then, will a prohibitory measure be suc
cessfully carried out. The Legislature
cannot do less than give us the local op
tion law. With this let the advocates of
temperance be content, and show by their
appreciation of it that they are prepared
for an advanced step in the suppression of
tho liquor traffic.
Will tbe rope come to America ?
We think not. That Pope Leo feels
uncomfortable we do not doubt, and yet
we are cpnstrained to think that he at
taches too much importance to his so-
called imprisonment in the Vatican. Tbe
disturbances which attended tbe removal
ofthebodyof Pio Nonowere magnified
into wonderful proportions—far beyond
their significance. A few young Italians,
with less consideration than voice, re
sponded to the “ long live the Pope” of
the procession bearing tho papal remains*
“Long live Italy.” It was a breach of
propriety, but bow it can be tortured into
a menace to tbe Vatican, it would be
hard to detcrmln However, tbe serious
aspect given it by Pope Leo has aroused
a feeling among “young Italy” that bad
no existence hitherto, and the cry resounds
from one end of tho country to the other,
that Italy does not want to entertain a
prisoner at the Vatican, and that ho must
be set at liberty whether he will or not.
King Humbert, a devoted Catholic him
self, deplores this agitation and will do
all In bis power to check this feeling of
opposition to tho papal residence in
Italy. Bnt he will be powerless be
fore this sudden popular outcry, for
the Italians are an impulsive people, and
they do not under pressure of excitement
stop to reason or reflect upon the ultimate
results of their actions.
What will be tbe end of all this furor?
We believe that tbe Pope will remain just
where be is. It would be fatal to tbe
present Italian government if the papal
residence was to be removed. No one
sees this more plainly than King Hum
bert himself. So long as the Pope re
mains at Rome, it is regarded as a guar
antee against the ascendancy of republi
can tendencies among tbo Italians. Al
though tbe relations between tbo govern
ment and tbo Pope seem antagonistic, yet
they have many interests in common, and
tbe sooner tbe Pope relinquishes the fal
lacy of tho restoration of his temporal
sovereignly, the sooner will peace and as
surance reign in the Vatican.
A home in America has been suggested,
but it Is not feasible. Tbo Tope would
naturally seek a Catholic country like
Spain or France, where the sympathies of
tho whole people would ho given him.
Here ho could not expect it, hut lie would
meet antagonisms of various characters
that would irritate and vex his Holiness
more than the shoutings of the young
Italians. However, we give au argument
on the other side of the question, taken
from the St. Louis Globe-Democrat:
Then as to the question what will the
I’ope do witliout Rome, it might be sug-
f ested tbat he might do much Better,
'irstly, he would not bo liampend by in
cessant and generally very petty conflicts
with tbe Italian government; and second
ly, ho would be relieved of that greatest
incubus, from which the Papacy has had
to suffer from its earliest day, the suprem
acy of the Italian clergy in the councils
of tho Vatican. This would prpbably
prove ol inestimable value to the Fope.
He could feel himself independent, and
take advice from all members of his
church alike. Itris a notorious fact that
this supremacy of tho Italian priesthood
has at all times been a sore iu the eyes of
the Catholic cletgy of all other nations.
The French clergy especially has
again and again sought to break it. Even
ldngs and emperors have exerted them
selves to overcome It. But the minority
of numbers of the Italian carriiuai*,
coupled with the residence of tbo Poj«e in
Rome and the peculiar mode of elect ing a
new Pope, which favors tho exercise of
outside pressure, though Intended to pre
clude it, have almost always proved them
selves strong enough to overcome thn-o
influences. Taking it, therefore, all in
all, it would seem as if with the removal

Tbo Stato University's income.
Edixoes Telegbaph asd Messesgeh :—
In W. C. B.’s letter iu your paper of yester
day concerning George I. Seney, etc., oc
curs tho following sentence: “The church
Is engaged in an unequal contest in the
work of education. The State can com
mand money at will to maintain its univer
sity with the subordinate colleges which
belong to the State system of education.
But the churches, whilo bearing their sharo
of taxation to sustain tbe university and its
branches, find it difficult, unaided by the
pnbiio parse, to keep up their own col
leges.” This sentence is very misleading,
its author knowing evidently not a
great deal about the University of
Georgia. One can but infer from it
that notenly the departments at Athens,
bat those at l'hoinasville, Milledgorille,
Dahlonega and Cuthbert are all carried on
perhaps entirely at the expense of the
State. It is not an uncommon idea, but on
exceedingly erroneous one. Not a cent do
the fonr subordinate colleges receive from
the State, nor does the University itself re
ceive anything except in a very indireot
way. Bnt tbe State University has an an
nual income of over $30,000. Whence does
this sum come? From various sources. At
the beginning of the conlury the State gave
for establishing a university 40,003 acres
of land, which land was afterward sold by
the State for the university for $120,000;
the State then agreed to pay annually to
the university instead of the land 8 per
cent upon the loan of $100,000 to the State.
Hie annual payment of $3,000 is the sum
thus arising. This is all the university re
ceives from tbe State. This is the onerons
tax upon the churches of Georgia, which so
weakens them that they cannot support
their colleges! Should not tho Stato have
given the land ? Who will say no? The
land was plentiful, educational advantages
few—there were no church colleges until
nearly forty years afterward; nay, it is ex
ceedingly doubtful whether there
would have been so soon if this
noble university bad not battled
faithfully with the dense ignorance
then spread over tho land. Never has such
a small investment yielded snch a rich re
turn. What a host of distinguished and
noble men—statesmen, scholars, teachers,
preachers, lawyers, authors, has the Uni
versity sent forth to bless the State and the
church. There is certainly not much tax
ing to snpport the State University when
the State, seventy-five years ago, gave land
which it had received from the Indians for
nothing. Maoouhas dono for a church
institution more than the Empire State of
the South lias dono for what is called her
own University. Of the remaining income
$18,000 arises from the sale of laud given
by tbe United States government, from
$20,COO given by Dr. Wm.' Terrell, of Han
cock, and other similar benefactions. Tho
only taxation ior the snpport of a universi
ty is the $8,000 annually given to the At
lanta university. But Ido not think that
any reference has been made to that, os
there is no competition between it and any
church institution, nor have I been in
formed tbat any objection has been raised
to giving this much to “oar brother in
black.” As to the branch colleges they re
ceive $2,000 apioce from the University’s
$18,000 income from the land scrip fond—
not a cent from the State. How noble in
our university, thus to give $8,011) each
year toward higher preparatory education
m various parts of the State. She deserves
to succeed. She has done a noble work in
tho past and has a glorious work to accom
plish yet. In almost no department is she
equalled, whilo iu some departments there
is nothing to correspond in tho other col
leges of the State. I have met with so
many intelligent mon, such as W. C. B.,
who were entirely misinformed upon tho
above points, that 1 deemed it best that 1
should not let W. Q. B.’s statement go un
corrected. * Fuankux.

Halstead, in the Cinunnatl Commercial.
We say that while Grant wa3 in the

evade the main channel of the rivor, there
was a painful impression that I10 was a
failure. Grant’s reputation rests mainly
npon the Vicksburg campaign, and that
campaign proper does not begin until tho
stick-in-the-mud business ended. An im
pression that Grant had made a failure on
tho Mississippi, wo contend, was warranted
by tbe Btate of affairs April 3,1863.

prised, however, if, when it is all over and
Mr. Garfield is well or dead, the particulars
of tho most disgusting medical wrangle
on record do not become public. Human
natnro never appears to worso advantage
than when bickering over a corpse, or over
the person of n dying man. In tho exact
ratio of the public esteem for tho unfortun
ate object of their wrangling is the publio
disgust. The conduct of the doctors in the

The Polygamy Bill.
Atlanta Correspondence Augusta Chronicle.
The most ridiculous bill yet introduced—
and we have had some very foolish
ones indeed—is tbe bill ta abolish or snp-
£ ress tho Mormon missionaries in Georgia.
1 the first place, such a bill is unnecessa
ry, as tho law already punishes polygamy
in the State. Secondly, there is a consti
tutional provision that prohibits any inter
ference with them simply because they
come here to preach Mormonism. Thirdly,
every attempt to persecute them will only
result in gaining friends for them and
making them stronger. Fourthly, it is in
bad taste for peoplo who openly uphold
and countenance adultery at tho State cap
ital, under tho shadow of tho cspitol build
ing itself, to raise a howl of virtuous indig-
nati.n against tho 0 Mormon missiona
ries. More than a year ago ono of their
number was murdered in north Georgia.
If tho blood of the martyrs is tie seed of
the eburcb, it may bo spread and flourish
more than ever in that section. I abhor

suppress tho practice of them. We can do
no more than this.

The Assassin Arnaults • Guard and
Tries to Cat Ills Throat. Bat Is Dis
armed—Btnrtlinc Beene In Jail.
Washington Critic•
TI10 news of tbe President’s critical
condition gave rise to a number of rumors
at the jail yesterday, increased by the fact
that early lest evening tbe guard was
doubled and military drill was field in tho
rotund, tfie noise of which awoke Gai-
teauto a state of feverish excitement.
He paced his cell and inquired anxiously
for news from the President. A rumor
reached the jail late in the evening that
the President was dylDg, and it was sup
posed tbat Guiteau heard it. Ho was ob
served to climb up to a window In bis cell
and in other ways showed great excite
ment. Mr. W. U. McGill, who has charge
of the jail on alternate nights, visited the
cell several limes, and coming to the con
clusion that Guiteau had heard from some
of the prisoners tho alarming rumors,
he watched him with unusual
care. Several times Mr. McGill observed
Guiteau clinging to tbe iron bar of his
window, and the idea that the prisoner
might be attempting to bang himself,
prompted the guard to visit the cell about
hall-past four in the morning. Mr. Mc
Gill, upon opening the cell, found that
Guiteau was concealing something in his
hand, and determining that it wa3 a knife,
said: “What are you doing with that
knife?” Guiteau looked up excitedly
and cried: “So help me God, I have no
knife.” Mr. McGill insisted that ho had,
and stepped toward the prisoner, when
Guiteau sprang up and rushed
at him furiously and made
savage cat at his throat. McGill
drew back, and the knife passed through
his coat collar, cutting off the upper but
ton aud making a clean cut on the left
shoulder. The guard drew liis revolver
without cocking it, but findingbimselfun-
ablo to disarm his assailant, he finally
cocked the revolver, when Guiteau
dropped his knife and grasped the more
formidable weapon, crying for help
and calling tbat he was being shot. The
pistol was accidentally discharged and
several guards rushed to the cell, when
Guiteau was disarmed. The assassin
stated to the guards that he was acting in
self-defense, aud that McGill had at
tempted to shoot him.
The question as to how Guiteau ob
tained the knife is generally explained by
the fact tbat “Babe” Bedford once occu
pied tbe cell, and tbat several similar in
struments bad been concealed by tbat
criminal. The knife is what is generally
known by prisoners as a “clieeser,” and &
a criminalLubstitute for a jack-knife, ra
zor and dagger. It is made out of tbe
piece ot steel found in tbe sole of a boot,
wbicli can be sharpened on a stone or
window sill until it becomes exceedingly
keen. The blade is generally about two
or three inches long and half an
inch broad, and an inch or more is
left unsharpened and wrapped in rags or
paper for a handle. These instruments
are used by persons for various purposes.
They are confiscated by jailers whenever
they are found. It is also considered pos
sible tbat some other prisoner has in some
way left the knife whore Guiteau could
get it.
The assassin considers his escape very
fortunate, and when tbe guard said In his
presence that lie had thought tho pistol
shot had settled tlic dog, he replied: “My
dear sir, that is too important a subject
for JoklDg; a lifo is valuable.”
This startling episode created intense
excitement at the jail. Mr. McGill, tbe
guard, told a Critic reporter this morning
that lie supposed Guiteau thought the
President was dead, aud took this means
of proving Ids insanity most conclusively.
The guard who was attacked is a heavy
built man, of kind and pleasant manner,
and against whom personally Guiteau
could have had no bitter feeiing. The
success cf the plan to kill the guard would
not have given Guiteau any chance to
escape, and so that motive could not have
prompted the deed. The guards at the
jail are reticent and refuse positively
to say anything on tho subject
of Guiteau’s attack. As soon as tbe
facts were made known a reporter
made bis way to the jail, and saw Assist
ant Warden Russ and the army officers
who are doing duty there. They all re
fused to talk, and said they had been in
structed not to communicate anything to
tbe public about the assassiu. The the
ory advanced by some is tbat tbo knife
was given to him by a prisoner. A thor
ough Investigation will be ordered by
Gen. Crocker at once, and all the facts
brought out. Tho guard of soldiers at
the jail has been doubled and now con
sists of twenty men and three commis
sioned officers. The most vigilant watch
is kept over the prisoner.

How They Balanced the Scales of Jus
tice in tbe Good Old Days.
. From the Carson Appeal.
Lost night a number of men were sit
ting in tront of tbe Ormsby House dis
cussing tbe big mining snlt in Eureka be
tween the Richmond and Albion. Gen.
Kittrell, W. W. Bishop, Sine Barnes,
Johnny Moore and otheis were interesting
the crowd with recitals ot the suits they
had seen. Bishop and Kittrell Insisted
that of late years tho atmosphere of the
courts had been purer than iu the earlier
days.
“That is,” said Barnes, “thinner and
weaker; in other words, jurrois cost less
than formerly.”
Both tho lawyers agreed that coin had
a potent influence. When tbe lawyers
was all on their side and tho jury on the
other, they could only explain it on a coin
hypothesis.
At this point an old grizzly-bearded
man, who bad been listening, slid up and
remarked:
“Aiming suits ain’t wbat they used to
be. There’s been no real live litigation to
speak ol since tho Raymond & Ely snit
with the Hermes, in Piocho.”
“Were you in town ?”
“ Woll, rather; I traveled 400 miles on
a mule to gcL to Lhe jury box. I struck
the town about (J o’clock at night, and,
walking into the leading bar-room, in
quired if the suit bad begun. Inside of
half on hour a mancamo up and asked
me what my name was. He wrote it
down on his shirt cull', and then said:
‘ Pard, if you want to stay and see the
suit, let me see you through on your ex
penses,’ and he handed me $510, remark
ing that he thought tbo R. &E. had the
bulge on tbe law. 1 said tbat 1 thought that
myself, and then sauntered off. In about au
hour a man came to me and told mo I was
drawn on the jury. I said I didn't mind,
and agreed to stand iu. About 0 o’clock
a man tapped me on tbe ann and kauded
mo live hundred, remarking that tho
Hermes had about all tbe law aud facts
on their side that was necessary. He
thought I might need a little rnouey for
expenses.. Ol course I took tbe money, ho
seemed so anxious to get rid of it, aud
then I slipped into a back room, put on a
pair of false side whiskers, a tliiu silk
duster I had been carrying under my coat
and 1 was a changed man. By 10 o'clock
I was on a good horse that I paid $100
for, and started off on a prospecting trip.
1 couldn’t bear tbe idea of holding the
scales of justice in a case liko that. I was
fearful of further corruption, you see.
But on tho trial 1 was represented by a
proxy. On tbo road I met old Bill Da-
men, deadbrokc aud discouraged. I put
him on the lay, aud he started double-
quick for Pioche. Ho struck tho ledge
rich. I guess, lor when I next heard of
him, lie wasdriviu’a spankin’ team and
enjoyiu’ life.”
