Thk statement that Mr Emory Speer told

To those within the reach of the tele
graph offices S turJay, the news of the
attempted a**a : «ination of President
Garfield brought a shock of surprise and
regret, which will W felt today by those
to whom The Cox-tittiio.v will first
bear the news. The surprise was
natural and the regret genuine. The
south is ten yearn away from the partisan
politics of tbe period and our people have
been taking a lively as well as a friendly
interest in tbe new administration, and
they will be startled to barn that the
president has been made^tbe victim of
the assassins bullet. They will be
startled, but their ready sympathy will
go out to the stricken man and his frantic
family.
The news is unquestionably startling,
but no thoughtful man will deny that it
is t he natural and appropriate outcome
of the political insanity which goes by
the name of republicanism. Frenzy and
fanaticism are the streams which have
fed this remarkable organization from
the first. The fury with which tbe
southern people have been pursued, the
stupendous frauds of 1870, the acknowl
edged corruptions of 1-SS0, the tremen
dous struggle between the factions and
the marvelous greed for.office, all go to
show that the life of an individual, even
though that individual be the republican
president of Die United States, trill
not be allowed to stand in the way
of those who are seeking place and
l>ower. There ar«> thousands of republi
cans in tbe north to-day as insane as the
“stalwart of the stalwarts” who shot the
president, and as ready to bo made tools
of. There are thousands of republicans
who would welcome a period of anarchy
that would place in control of affairs tbe
restless and revolutionary spirits, who
are determined at all hazards to control
the government.
To-day tbe great majority of the north
ern press will characterize the act of
Charles Guinean as that of an insane
man, and yet the editors whose busi
neas it is to know and gauge
the course and temper oi current politics
must feel that there is nothing strange
in the fact that u “stalwart of the slal-
“ wafts” has nurelea j*erhaj>s too successful
attempt to assassinate the president.
They must know* and feel that the men
and machinery which bought the return-
in * boards and stole the presidency in
1870, and which (according to the public
confession of the person who will profit
most by the death of the president) en
tered Indiana in 1880 and corrupted the
ballot-box by the wholesale purchase of
voters—the thoughtful editors of the
north must know* and feel that the men
who engaged in these conspiracies would
not atop at assassination, if assassination
be, necessary to accomplish their purpose.
Tiik Constitution cm afford to discuss
this deplorable event from the stand
point of reason and common sense. Our
interest in General Gat field is not politi
cal; it is purely human and, we trust,
patriotic. His death, at this juncture,
would be something more than a public
calamity, since it would be the means of
placing the administration of the govern
ment in the control of the most vicious
development of political aeonndreliant
«»•**- eieu me republican party lias ever
known, hoary that organization is in
corruption. We can afford to trace the
attempt of Charles Guitteau to its true
cause, the desperation of republican cor
ruption. St is a warning to the people that
the particular element of republicanism
which has depended upon knavery to
keep it in power is not to )>e sent to the
rear without a struggle. The assassina
tion of President Garfield is simply and
solely the result—the naturaloutgrowth—
of that particular political frenzy which,
for want of a better name, lias come to
be known as “stalwart republicanism.”
Tbs Snrrmioa.
Ttieossassina'ionof the president will be
cbiefiy deplored, after the first shock has
passed away, on account of the character
of the man who constitutionally stands
in line of succession. We hazard noth
ing in saying that if the prudent, safe
and honest Wheeler were still vice presi
dent, the country would not to-day view
with such horror the death of the presi
dent. It would deplore the crime, and
the shock to our institutions, but it would
not stand aghast at the changes involved.
Iustead of William A. Wheeler we have
now to look to Chester A. Arthur. In
the face of an appalling disaster we have
no desire to magnify the dangers of the
situation; we would gladly seize u]K>u
auy reasonable baois for hope.
Arthur, like Wheeler, is a politician,
both coming from the Silas Wright sec
tion of the state—here ail similarity ends..
Wheeler has never been a disreputable
politician; Arthur's political career
discloses nothing else. In New
York city and at the head of the
“machine” he early found congenial em
ploy ment,aiul from hisentry in publicise
to this lime he has been intimately con
nected with the very worst methods of
American politic*. Much of the time he
has been a professional lobbyist. At
length he was appointed collector of the
pert of New York—appointed, of course,
bv President Grant at the instance of the
stalwart “machine" of New York. The
office is one of immense patronage, and
his use of its opponunities was stxchthat
Secretary Sherman kicked him out. He
went out under charges that have never
been cleared up. In fact, he never made
on effort to free himself of the charges.
Ue simply made the custom house a
render.vjus and rallying place of party
. , „ . supj*orters, and applied the most vicious

The debt statement just issued shows
that the public burden is becoming de
lightfully lighter. l>uring the month
of J une it was reduced to the extent of
Sl-A-l.ljtf, and during the fiscal year
just ended the reduction amounts to
$101,575,483. At this rate the debt can

He corrupted and demoralized all that
he touched. He is in a word an Ameri
can politician of the most dangerous
type. Nothing is too disreputable to
receive his sanction if it is a means to an
end.
Tnat such a man should now be
almost at the head of tiny millions of
people—mostly honest God-fearing peo
ple—is a shame, and a great grief. His
nomination under ordinary circumstan
ces would have been impossible even in
believed that he could and would control
the “machine," and that in the vice-
presidency he could do no lmrm. In
just this way his nomination was fol
lowed by his election: and thi* morning
the deplorable mistake of electing an
ir.efficient and corrupt man stares a dis
mayed people in the face.
The moral is very plain of course, but
a lesson gained at the cost of nearly four
years of maladministration, is certainly
a very sore one. There is not a good
ciiizen who does not this morning wish
we could have the iesson without
the punishment that goe» with it; but
is hope that hereafter
will not be a party
that will for a moment favor the putting
of a weak or unfit man at the tail of a
presidential ticket—of a man who is not
in every respect intellectually and moral
ly competent to discharge the duties of
the chief executive office.
Nor is this all. Unfit as Arthur is, he
alone keeps off disorganization; i -t if he
succeeds to ths presidential office he
ill have in the ffash no constitutional
successor. Mr. Randall is no longer
shaker, the forty-sixth congress being
a* dead as Hector. The senate refused
or neglected to choose a president pro
tern.—-and so it is first Arthur, and then
<-haos, and it is very difficult to deter
mine which is preferable.
But let us not be unduly moved. Let
us hope that Mr. Arthur once clothed
with the responsibilities of high office,
will himself be president, and will cast
off the methods of his earlier career.
Let us hope, too, that he will immediately
convene congress, and that the legisla
tive branch of the government will take
every possible step to avert the dangers
that assassination has again brought upon
the country.
Jntfff* 11 irnm Warner.
At noon Thursday, Judge Hiram War
ner, who has for several months past
been confined to his bed, died at tbe
residence of his grand-daughter, Mrs. E.
W\ Martin. The event was not unex
pected either by his family or by the
public, but the announcement will be
received with regret in every part of
Georgia. His career is historical; the
tiistory of bis public life is a History oi
Georgia, covering a long and most inter
esting period. It does not fall within the
scope of a newspaper at tide to trace in
detail the career ol his commanding in
tellect, his unconquerable will, his firm
integrity, or the wonderful strength and
simplicity of liia character; but a brief
sketch of a life remarkable for its ster
ling virtues and its great usefulness will
not be out of place here.
Hiram Warner was born in Massachu
setts on the 2S»tb of October, 1802.
the age of seventeen he eaine to Georgia,
and became an assistant teacher in the
academy at Sparta, where, notwith
standing his youth and inexperience, he
gave general satisfaction. Like many of
our most prominent public men, he stud
ied law and prepared himself for the bar
while teaching. He was admitted to
practice in the autumn of 1824, and
soon afterwards settled at Knoxville,
in Crawford county, lie took such a po
sition at the bar and as a citizen that he
was soon elected to the legislature,
representing Crawford county from 1828
till 18dl. Among other important meas
ures, he introduced a bill amending the
constitution so es to remove the property
qualifications of senators and represen
tatives, contending that a man's capacity
to make laws should not be estimated
according to the amount of property he
might possess. This bill was defeated
at tbe first session, but it soon became a
law. His firmness and integrity were
well displayed during one of his races
fora legislature which was to elect a pub
lic officer whom a majority of his con
stituents were believed to favor, and for
whom Judge Warner’s opponeut had
pledged himself to vote. There was op
position to young Warner because lie
would not make a similar pledge, and a
few days before the election, during a
speech at a regimental muster, he was
asked whether he would make the
pledge, and he indignantly replied:
“I may or may not vote for that officer,
“but 1 will not degrade myself so much,
“orthotc wnose suffrages I seek, as to
“make a pledge in advance as to what I
“may or may cot do as their representa
tive. If the people whose suffrages I
“seek have not, from their knowledge of
“my general character, sufficient confi
dence to believe that I will honestly and
“faithfully represent their wishes and
“inter* sts, then vole against me; hut if
“they have such confidence, then I should
“be extremely happy far them to m&ni-
“fest it at the ballot-box on Monday
“next.” Thisanswer was appreciated,and
he was elected by an increased majority.
From 18:*J to 1840 he was judge of the
superior court of the Coweta circuit, and
from 1840 to 1843 he practiced law in all
the counties of his circuit, attending
them regularly and promptly and mak
ing money rapidly; and in 1845, when
the supreme court was organized he was
elected one of its judges, which position
he held till 1S53 when he resigned.
In 1855 he was elected to congress as a
democrat from what was then the fourth
district, defeating the Hon. Benjamin II.
Hill; and after serving one term he de
clined to be a candidate for re-election.
It was said of him by one of the reporters
of the house, “1 love to report his
“speeches—he always has something to
‘‘sty.”
Haring the war he practiced his pro
fession and attended to his farming in
terests, in which he has, unlike most
professional men, been very successful.
He wrs fond of agriculture and was al
most as good a farmer as he was a law
yer.
He was made judge of the Cowetr. cir
cuit again soon alter the war and went
from that position to the supreme bench
in 1SC7, where he remained most of the
time as chief justice tilljJuly, 1SS0, when
he retired voluntarily the second time.
He has been in Georgia sixty-two years
and far ov«r forty years has held public
position—a sufficient evidence of the
confidence reposed in him by the people.
He was a man of great mental vigor
and indomitable will and perseverance.
In every position intrusted to him he
wa3 firm, faithful and fearhss in tbe dis
charge of duty. One of his most strik
ing traits of character was punctuality.
He was always in his place at the. ap
pointed houT, and as chief justice always
ascended the bench when the
clock struck the hour of opening
court. It is said that for twelve years as
judge and practicing attorney in the
Coweu circuit and for the first four
years on the supreme bench he never
missed a single term of any one of the
courts, regular or adjourned, making
] sixteen successive years in which he was
’ promptly present where duty called.
: His decision and firmness of character
were admirable. He was a very temper-
| ate man, and this fact, added to
; his regularity of habits and
| strong constitution, lengthened oat
; bis days and helped to make
bun emphatically a hard worker. His
legal attainments were never doubted.
“What is the law," was the question
which controlled his decisions: and this
he always sought for with diligence and
zeal. Many regard him as the ablest
judge we ever had on the supreme bench.
No man contributed more to the juris
prudence of the state than he or was of
greater benefit to the legal brotherhood.
His friends feared that when he cea.«ed
to labor, so active had been his life, that
he would soon cease to live, and this tbe
sequel proves. This hurried sketch can
not accord him meet praise. Noble,
honest, brave and faithful old man, he
has passed to his reward. Profit by his
example.

but von see the gentle sex that prevails in
my hfeose had thought it would be so nice
to hafe three or four acres back of the house
wherwthey could pick it so conveniently,
and ■ not bother anybody, and the
money would oome in so nicely in
the ffall of the year for soaae
winter dresses and other little feminine
tricks asd so for their sakes we planted a
patch and its been in the way ever since
and while we were harvesting the wheat
and the oats the grass overtook the cotton
and ontgrew it and we never noticed it un
til a f« w days ago, and it was a sickly sight
aou ad all hands have had to work early and
late, wet or dry. hot or cold, and I'm about
nstd up ax d have sworn off, fori never will
chop c >tton again as long as I live where
the cotton is one foot high and the grass
two, and rag weeds and boll nettles and
treadwafts and Gimpson weeds and pursely
all mixed in promiscuous. Bat its all done
now and can uke a new start, and if jostics
is done that cotton ought to bring 50 cents
a pound, considering the feelings it has
lacerated.
We have had a day's frolic with the
thresher and my boys are satisfied.
They made sixteen bushels of Dallas wheat
to the acre and eight boshels of the com-
monAind and they made 35 bushels of rust
proof oats to the acre which were a jwed the
last of February and it did seem to me there

raw in my life for the apringdrought caught
—and they dident grow much higher

THE ASSASSIN’S SHOT.
Special dispatch to The Constitution.
Washington, July “-President Garfield was
shot this morning at the Baltimore and Potomac
depot while on hia way to New England. He re
ceived one ball in the arm and one between the
hip and kidney*. Five physicians are In attend
ance, and have probed for the ball without buc-
He Is dangerously wounded, but may re
cover.
THK VICTIM AND THE ASSASSIN.
11:33 a. a.—The president’s condition has im
proved, and his pulse, which was aa low aa S3,
has raided to 63. As soon as it reaches 70 the phy
sicians will probe for the ball, and will then be
able to tell the nature o! the wound.
The man who did the shooting is Charles Goit-
teau, attorney at law, Chicago. He is a foreigner
by birth, and has been a very persistent appli
cant lor consul, which was refused him by the
president. He has haunted the executive man
sion for two or three weeks, and hi* not getting
what he wanted, it is believed, resulted in tem
porary aberration oi the miud.
HOW THE DEED WAS ACCOMPLISHED.
Washington. July 2.—The shooting was done
by a slender man, about five feet seven inches in
height. He refused to give his name, out it is
said by persons who profess to know him that his
name is Guitteau, and that he is an ex-consul to
Marseilles.
The man was arrested immediately and carried
to police headquarter*, and subsequently
removed to jalL The shooting occurred in the
ladies’ room of the depot, immediately alter the
president had entetel, walking arm iu arm with
Secretary Blaine, ou their way to
the limited express train, which
was about ready to leave. Secretary
Blaine, on heariug the pistol shot* (two in num
ber). rushed in the direction from which they
came, with a view to arresting the assassin. Be
fore reach!ug the man, however, be noticed the
president fall, and relumed to him and lilted
himap. Both shots took effect: the first in Ihe
right arm aud the second just above the right hip
and near the kidneys. Physicians have j.r bed
for the ball unsuccessfully. Two companies oi
regulars were ordered from tbe barracks, aud
have been potted around the executive
mansion. There is great excitement
and tbe ttreeta are thronged with anxious inquir
ers, eager to leant the coudltiou of the president.
The shooting occurred iu the presence of fifty or
sixty ladies. The presideut has been made as
comfortable as posbible, and all persons excluded
from the grounds. Ue i« conscious, aud does hoi
complain of great Buffering. It i* impomiblc to
say, as yet. what the result will be, but the
geons are of opinion that the wounds are not
necessarily fataL

Evidence* ef is Plot.
There fa a theory which has many adherents
that tbe attempted assastinaiion was not the work
of a lunatic, but the result of a plot much deeper
and darker thau has tx en tuspee'ed. I; fa cit d
in support cf this theory that Guit
teau a: ranged beforehand with a hack-
man to be In readiners . to drive
him swiftly la the direction of Congressional
cemetery a* soon as he made hfa appeoracce cu
returning from tbe depot. In the meantime be
had left a bundle of papen in the hands of a boy
with the intention, it fa maintained, of creating
a belief in hia insanity in the event of hfa capture
Guitteau said on hi- way to jail that the president’s
Nomination was premeditated, and that he went
to L ug Bianch for the purpose of shooting him
there and was deterred by the enfeebled and sad
dened condition oi Mr*. Garfield which appealed
strongly tc LU semeef humanity, v<at became
back without cerrjir.gout hfa intentious.
Those by whom Guitteau has been examined
since the shooting say that he shows no symp
toms of insanity aud it fa understood that ihe
letter which has already been telegraphed ad
dressed. “To tbe White Hi use.” is theonly decu-
in the collection which support* the theory
of insanity. It fa reported that Guitteau bad
accomplice, whose description is iu the hands
of the police, aud further developments are anx
iously Licked (or.
Keganllag the AkmwhId.
The district jail, a large brown stone structure,
situated at the eastern extremity of the city, was
visited by an associated press reporter shortly
alter ll o'clock lor the purpose ol obtaluiug ou
interview with Charles Guitteau, the a-s*t*i:t of
President Gartield. The officers refused admit
tance to the building, stating as the reason that
they were acting uuder instructions from Attor-
v.ey-Genentl MacVeagh, which were that uoono
be allowed to see the prisoner. Information had
reached them that a movement to mob :l.c
jail was c intern plated. A large guard of regular
troops Hud metropolitan police was momentarily
expected to repel auy attack which might be
made.
t’harlea Guitteau is about CO years of age and
fa sup;<ostd to be of French descent. He isubnn
5 feet 5 inches in height, sandy complexion and is
slight—weighing uot more thau 125 pounds. He
wears a mou?Uche ami light chiu w hiskers aud
shrunken cheek - and eve* MT apart, which gives
him a sulleu c.r, as ihe officials described it, a
“loony" appearance. The officer iu
question gave it as hfa opin
ion that Guitteau fa a Chicago comtnuufat
aud stated that he has noticed it to be a peculiar
ity of nearly all murders that their eyes are
set far apart. “Guitteau," he said, “proves no ex
ception to the rule ” It fa staled that two to three
weeks ago Guitteau went to the jail for the pur
pose of visiting it, hut was refused admittance on
Ihe ground lhat it was not “visitors’ day." He »t
that time mentioned his name as Guitteau. and
said that he came ftonr Chicago. When brought
to jail t »-day he was admitted by the officer who
had previously refused to admit him. Mutual
recognition took place. Guitteau saying:
“You are the mau lhat would not let tne go
through the jail some time ago."
The only other remark he made before being
placed in j til, was that Genera: Sherman would
arrive at the jail soon. The officer was in charge
of the old city jail at the time oi the assassina
tion of i'rcridcut Lincoln.

Special dispatch to The Constitution.
New York, July 2.—A« the- day wore on and
the public become for-sewed of the fo-rtrail oj
the asajusiu aud of hfa eccentric motives for com
mitting the crime, ih.: political harshness of
their comments cea v ed. General Arthur was
not popular in New York, where be
has been chiefly known as a
manipulator of cmrao local politics,
but everybody admitted the fact that he wasto
!*o president, and said: “Well, Providence, has
had a uaud in it, aud he was elected like Gar-
field.” At the same ti te public opprobrium lies
heavy on Conkliug, whose tc-foualtou of his teat
i i the scuatc and the struggl*: to recover It,
have lutensi(fed popular feeling aud perhaps kept
alive the insane lury iu this
assassin's lu art. Ufa words, when lie shot the
president, mat lie was a “stalwart of the stal-
waris,” were printed in italics ia Carl Schmz’s
impcr, while the Conkling organs jooh joohtd
his connection wi.h any r« putable faction. Gen
eral Arthur, more than auy other mau perhaps
iu the city, was staggered by the tragedy. It un
nerved him. lie shrank from newspaper writers,
and spent nearly the whole day with t'oukling,
as ay from the public ea/. ?.
Doctor Carey, a well known local character
who was oucc a popular preacher and alto au
actor, went te call on Arthur during the after-
noou. tic said tome, “General Arthur’s father,
at) o d fellow clergyman, always stopped at my
house iu New Y„tk. 1 am going to coll
on Arthur," taid he, “because be is a
whole-souled fellow. O. c of tho bent in the
the world. 1 know,” said Dr. Carey, “that a good
many people are talking against him to-day, but
we have to tane him up Iu our anus because he
fa to be our president.*’
Said I. “Doctor, will there r.otbc a revolution
in the government by Arthur coming iuT’
“Unquestionably,” said l»r. Carey, “Oonk-
1m? aud Platt cau now be elected
to the senate, if they want to go there. If they
don’t want te go, Arthur will put Conkliug in
hfa cabiuet as first minister. 1 think that Arthur
willeudiAVor to persuade Conkling te drop tbe
seuatotship aud go with him ia the government.
Then," said the doctor, “you may make up
your miud that the whole cabinet will have to go
and that Robertson will new r put hfa foot in that
custom house. There will be a complete and ab
solute recognition of the stalwart wing of the
piny, aud I should uot wonder if it would break
the republican j airly to pieces or force new party
c editions."
1 spoke a few minutes with CoJouel Hay at the
Tribune office lie said that be supposed the
death of Gut field, of a hom he had little hope,
would bring in Arthur aud change the cnbincL
General Merritt said to me at ihe custom borne:
“Gath, it was on the steps of this custom bouse
thut I heard Gartield make the fits; speech l ever
listened to from him. the day President Lincoln
died, flow kirange," said he. “that we are
sitting in this room and heariug the
newsboy now crying out Garfield’s
<i?alh. The president had b- eu shot the night
'ha died about 7 o’clock in the morn-
t the president this morning, has been knowu i ing. There was excitement be
in Chicago ter the past twnive years, and for much
of the time has been considered as more than
half insane. He may have had French blood iu
his veins,but was te all appearances au American.
He wore hfa hair brushed up in iio-t, giv
ing his face a startling kok. When he
first arrived lu Chicago tie began practicing law.
He married a sister of George Scoville, a well.
known lawyer here, aud lived about the Union j
place. But being of a shiftless character, he be- I
came a nuisance aud was tiually forbidden
his house by Boville. After living j
iu a precarious fashion here for *
sometime he went to New Yuric only to return in !
1»78. He then professed to have been converted I
aud began lecturing under the auspices of the I
Young Men’s Christian association. He was next !
known in connection with a scheme to buy out
the Inter Ocean and run it after the pattern of
the New York Hc-raid As Guitte. ;i
had no capital and no backing, hfa
iCheme collapsed, aud be returned to bis fomui
practice of “dead-beating." His reputation has
never been of the best, and hfa name was cote
Dieted with several scandals, until he sunk f»
low that no notice was taken of him whatever.
About six mouths ago he disappeared
irom his usual haunts, and has not
been seen in Chicago tluce.
Guitteau fa described by lawyers here as having
been while here what fa knowu us a “shyster,"
whatever practice be had being in the lower
crimiual ourfa. He was regarded as w« ak
.nitided, and at o;io time was a fanatic on tem
perance. aud delivered a lecture at the First
Method fat church on that subject. Failing
to pay the Tribune for its advertisement
of the lecture, that i*per wrote him up «s u
traud aud was sued by him for libel, tho suit
never coming te issue. He then wrote a pam
phlet ou the Se.-ou-1 Co ning of Christ, which was
published by Jansen «fc McCIurgas a curiosity.
Very little fa definitely kuown of the man, and
that little U unfavorable In every way.
There are many recollections of Charles A.
Guitteau (which Is hfa correct name), who lived
here several years, and acquird tm unenvbblu
refutation. Hewasatouc time on the point
of marriage with an estimable young
lady on the s>uth side. but his
character became knowu ju-.t iu
time to prevent such c-ilamity to the lady and her
family. Guitteau left town immediately alt**-
this for some month* One gentleman remarked:
“I remember Charles Guitteau well. He was
here two or three years ago
and seemed to have no visible
means of support. He preached or lectured on
religious or social subjects, upon which he was
enthusiastic. He started here as a lawyer but
failed utterly, and then tried to lift himself iftto
notoriety by lecturing on religion one evening In
each week "
Hi> card in the newspaper* fa produced to day
and is a literary curiosity. He bored the news
papers by trying to have his manu.cript printed
He failed also as a lecturer and then began life
as a tramp of the more re-fo-cublc order. He
was brands I by hotel keepers as a derd-beat
His whole appearance was that of dandyfied
man of tinal! mental calibre. He was unusually
fond of no onety, and would go almost any
length to get his name in papers. He was arris’
el here ot.ee for embezz’emeM. He got the idea
Li hfa head that he was fit for official position,
and has been try ing with all cf his power to ge
the consulate at Mareeilles
Another characteristic of him was hfa proclivi
ty to fo'.l jw and persecute with hLs attentioux
respectable young ladi * u> whom he had oh
tained casual introductions or on whom he had
forced his attentions. At one time he found
himself In an ugly predicament with an attormy
of a young lady whom he had thus pestered be
yoad (cduran e. The attorney accosted him
in hfa office and threatened him with a sound
horse-whipping if he dll cot promise
to desist and the gentleman desisted.
He has uot been heard of for
some time in this region. It fa said that his father
is president of theSec md national batik uf Free
port. The family fa of Italian ducent, but Guit
fa u has a! a ays claimed to be American bom.
He was final.y compelled te quit the city on
account of the accumulation of financial
difficulties. In other words, Chicago had bee .me-
too hot for him.
a immense
crowd surrounded the custom hou«c ns the gov
ernment headquarters. Garfield was asked to
pacify them, aud he made a »patch Haying that
the United .States required no man, that valuable

vres the republic we must look to
aud put our shoulder te.” “We make lhat mo
tion te our hearts to-day,"said General Meiritt.
v mridcrably affected. “We have our country to
Rve for even to-day.”
Mr. Simon Stevens, said (o be a relative ol
1 haddctis Stevens, was in the custom house
while the British cousul colled to express his
sympathies. lie wa*d, “It was omy two weeks ago
when I heard iu Garfield’s presence, discussed

«nJ Arthur consulted about certain of the
appointments say ing, “iu a contingency be will

A general feeling exists in New Yoik that the
