The news from Washington con* tiuues favorable. The President is doing remarkably well, and some of his physicians who a week ago did not believe he would live to the present time, will now be greatly disappointed if he fail of speedy recovery. It is not a certainty yet, of coarse, ^ but the chances are greatly in his favor, ' _ Conkung still refuses to surrender and the fight goes on. According to Venor, the hottest days of July will be the 9th, 11th 16th, Hth, 24th and 25th. There was an increase of forty million dollars, in the taxable property in New York City last year. Seven hundred and fifty Mormons arrived at New York from Europe last Thursday, en route to Salt Lake. Surgeon General Barnes says that not until after the thirty-first day will he consider the President out of danger. _ Only eight years in the Penitentiary for Guitteau,povided the President survives. If he dies the plea of insanity will be set up. It crops out, here and there that ths half-breeds are more alarmed about s^the spoils than they are about the criti* cal condition of the President. The Democrats never said so many unpleaiant things about Bepublicans as the latter have been saying about themselves for the past two months. One Hundred and Sixty is the pulse beat of death. At one time the President’s pulse reached 156, within four beats of the death rate. Awfully close, that.__ Arthur felt such supreme hostility to Democrats that he would not permit a Democratic President pro tern, of the Senate to be elected. He is somewhat modified now—thinks a Democrat as good as a half-breed. years ago helped her husband to tend bar in the far West. Counterfeit lemonade ought to be rpressed. At Harrisonville, Mo., fivehundred people were poisoned on thOAth inst., by acid refreshments. Six persons died, and one hundred are expected to die. In 1875 less than a half million bushels of grabs sought the markets of the world via the Mississippi Biver. In 1880 20,000,000 bushels of grain were sent abroad by that route. Captain Eads’ jetty triumphs accomplished the result. In conversation with a promine: radical Bepoblican of Petersburg tl other day, he remarked: “I won! rathersee Jeff Davis in Garfield place thap^Arthur, and I would vo for Davis for President in preferem to Arthur or Conkling.” King Kalakaua will purchase a number of Kentucky horses to take with him to his island kingdom, and will visit Kentucky to make the selections in persorf. He wiH also take with him several barrels of Kentucky Bourbon, of which be is a better judge than he is of Kentucky horses. The press of the country is a unit in the denunciation of the wicked attempt of a fanatical Stalwart to assassinate the President of the United States. There is not a single paper, North or South, that does not vigorously denounce the bloody deed of Gnitteau.

Readers of Mr. Schooler’s “Peter the Great,” in Scribner’s, will remember the order of that lemons reformer requiring Russian seamen to be clean shaven. The present Czar, who seems to have a decided dislike for anything which smacks of Western culture, has rescinded this rule, and for the first time in two hundred years, beards will be. worn by the sailors in the Russian navy. Tan work of tunneling the English Channel has commenced. A sevenfoot gallery 2,700 feet in length ha» been excavated from the English side, and work has been commenced on the French side. It is the intention to push the tunnel through seven feet in diameter, and afterward to enlarge the excavation, so as to admit the passage of trains. When completed, the tunnel, including approaches, will be over twenty miles in length. A numb zb of New York capitalists met last Thursday to take action in regard to the attempted assassination of the President^ which it was agreed to raise a fund of $250,000 for Mrs. Garfield. The money is to be invested in United States bonds which will Be deposited with the United States * Trust Company, the interest to go to Mrs. Garfield natil her death and afterward in equal amounts to her children. Cyras W. Field started the paper with a subscription of 95,000 and several others sMeeribed an equal Mm. It is thought the full amount will be raised speedily and without trouble.

New York’s death rate for the last six months hai been extraordinarily heavy, being twenty per cent, greater than during the corresponding period of last year, when it was by no means light. During thetirne mentioned 18590 persons have died, tbe des.th rate being 30 per annum for each 11,000 inhabitants. This is a frightful mortality. It is safe to say that a part of the increase has been due to dirty and ueglected streets, and a part also, perhaps, to the unusual weather conditions. — «—•»-» —-;— Let ns hope that no Republican paper Will be so indecent as to flaunt the ravings of the arch-idiot of the Okolona States at Democrats. The blow at the Chief Excntive is felt all over the land—by all classes of people—and to charge the Democratic party with prompting that idiot’s rot would be an insult that ought to be promptly resented. The Stalwart wing of the Republican party is as much if not more responsible for the acts of Guitteau as the Democratic party is for the ravirtgs of Kernan.

The Albany scandal simply lifts the lid off. Letting the light in creates nothing and adds little to the open information already -jgnti long since known to men familiar wit\ the worse and under side of public life at Washington and Albany, in New York and Philadelphia^ at Harrisburg and Trenton, at big city hotels in the winter and big political watering-places in the summer. Here as elsewhere, now as before the truth proves to be worse than libels in which many good people imagine r ewspapers to deal. There is not much to choose between the crime and its detection. Stalwarts aud half-breeds have wallowed m the pit together, and thOr New York Legislature has wallowed with them in uncouth merriment and vulgar applause over the smirching disgrace.—f Springfield Republican. Republicans are requested to read the verdicts. of honest Republican organs like the Springfield Republican. Honest men no longer affiliate with the' Republican party. Lifting the lids off of the crimes of the bosses settles the question, and the lidl iting has only just begun. .The Buffalo Courier, in commentmenting upon the sad plight in which the Stalwart faction of the Republican party is placed by the half-breed organs and bosses, says: But our Stalwart friends should remember that they are only suffering thrusts and blows . which under other circumstances they would have hastened to inflict on others. The cup that is put to their lips to-day they have in times past made their political opponents drain to the dregs. Who doubts, for an instant, what would now be the unanimous outcry of the Republican press, had the assailant of the President chanced 1 to be a Democrat or a Southerner? Not only would the Democratic party be held responsible for thecrime of a single nijscreant, but every individual Democrat would be placed uuder ban as more or less tainted with assassination. As for the South in such a ease, it would have been denounced at wholesale as teeming with treason and murder and ripe for a new rebel - ■ lion. The dead embers of civil strife would have been relit, and the country thrown back into the flres of sectional passion that burned twenty years ago. ; The Courier’s statement of the case 1 is absolutely true, and Democrats would do well to make a note of it. To hold the Republican party to the strictest accountability for its accumulated iniquities is now the supreme demand. The people must be taught to realize the full measure of the de1 pravity of Republican bosses. No i more sacred duty ever devolved . upon the Democratic, independent and conservative press of the country. It is well to denounce assassination ; but that is not enough. What is wanted now is to uproot an organi- , zatiop whfeb^Jbr Us abominable. uioiRuub &SS&S - sination possible.

When the Republican members of the U. 8. Senate, by the purchased vote of Mahone and the easting vote of Arthur, gained control of affairs, the first thing determined npon was to make a clean sweep Of Democratic employes. The “spoils system.” wq^lo be inaugurated at once. Muhone had sold his vote and he wanted the goods delivered at once. In view of ^his indecent haste to get possession of all the Senate patronage it is well to note the liberal coarse pursued by the Democrats when they were in power. The Washington Post says: A representative of the Post has lieen to some pains to collect a reliable data illustrative of this view of the case, and the result is hero submitted for the consideration of Senators, members of Congress and the general public. The pay-roll of th« Senate makes the following exhibit of officers aud employes of the Republican Senate retained by the Democrats and still on the pay-roll: * CKDBB SECRETARY BCRJH. £. B.

Clerk..2,500 In the above list are forty-three officers and employes appointed by a Republican Senate and its elective officers who were retained by the Democrats and are now on the pay-roll and drawing theii salaries regularly, amounting in the aggregate to *60,225. It will bo seen that but fonrof these employes are Democrats, whose salaries aggregate *5,510; deduct this amount from the *60,225, and there is left the sum of *54,705, which is now being paid annually to Republicans in the service of a Democratic Senate. Besides the persons named there are eight other employes whom the Democrats inherited from the Republicans and kepi in office for nearly two years, with annual sai arres amounting to *8,WO. This sum, being added to *54,705, gives an aggregate of 463,606 pail annually to Republican officers and employes by a Deb cratie Senate. The amonnt paid to Demociatic officers and employes during the same period annually is hot *69,338. It will be seen, moreover, that the Republicans hold the very best and most lucrative offices under the Secretary and Sergeant-at-arms, and that they draw within a few thousand dollars as mm h pay as the Democrats. Including the list of irregulars, or persons employed temporarily during the year, who are chiefly blacks, the sum pnid to Republicans would exceed that paid to the Democrats. Such tacts should strike Republican organs and bosses dumb with confusion, and it would be the effect if tbfe organs and bosses carried an ounce pressure of decency to the 1,000 square feet of boiler surface. But whether bomb or blatant, there stand the facts, and honorable men will at once see that in the matter of patronage the Democrats gave the Republicans fully one-balf.

The Assassin. Charles Guitteau, the man who shot President Garfield, iaone ot those men ot whom the great cities are so prolific, the men who would live sumptuously, but will not work, and who have not the ability to live honestly without work.— [Evansville Tribuhe. Th8 above ia a~verv fair acknowledgement of the kind of material the, Republican party ia composed of today. It was just such men aa Guittean, and other dead beats, who can be bought and sold like sheep in tbe market, that helped to elect Garfield to the Presidency. They were bought with money to elect Garfield, in order that the leaders of the party might be appointed the fill the Government offices. It was the offices they were after, and that is the trouble with the party to-day. Some ot them are not getting the offices they were promised, hence the shooting. Although there are more than twice the number of Government offices now than when the Republican party first went into power, there are at least one thousand applicants for every office to be filled by the President. Men who will Bell their votes to elect another man to office, are none too good to shoot the man whom they helped to elect. Nos honest man would have shot Garfield in the manner ini which he was shot. Guitteau voted for Garfield just as thousands of others did, (as mean as himself), with the expectation of getting an office and had failed. This Guitteau is a cracked-brain lawyer of Chicago, who has been laying around Washington City ever since Garfield was elected, waiting for an office until he squandered all bis means of living, lost all his friends and all hope of getting anything, and ready to die— winds up his career by deliberately shooting the President. We are proud to say that no member of the Democratic party has any suspicion resting on him of being connected, in any way whatever, with this mean and cowardly transaction. The honest Republicans who compose a large majority of that party, will have to suffer for the mean and dastardly conduct of the scoundrels who helped them to elect their ticket. Why Platt Declined.

[Vincennes Sun.] . - Another chapter of Stalwart and Half-Breed nastineBS was developed at Alban; last Thursday. A closelyveiled woman appeared at the Delavan House, where Senator Platt stopped, and sent that redoutable politician, of Stalwart fame, a npte. The Half-Breed sleuth-hounds soon got track of it and discovered that she occupied room 113. They then engaged a room or two opposite, and procuring a step-ladder and braciug themselves up with cheese and cracker? and tamarack, prepared for an all night vigil “to see what they could see” through the transom >of the strange womau’s room. What a grand spectacle was this! These Stalwart Republicans and ostensibly pure Christian Senators and statesmen mounted upou a step ladder to play the spy on the movements oftrtvoUman them, alroast«. suspected as being of doubtful reputation! Such is Republican fame in the Empire State of the Union! They were rewarded for their pains as they expected, by seeing ex-United States Senator Thomas C. Platt, Conkling’s partner,enter the woman’s room, and presently the light go out after the unworthy pair were observed together on the bed. The Half-Breed Senators then wrote a note to Platt, poked it under the door, which was to notify him to skulk out in short order which he did. The woman also left, closely-veiled and in a decided hurry. The next morning the whole escapade was published with all the sickening salacious variations, and Platt did not so much as attempt an explanation much less a denial and virtually confessed all by immediately declining to further rbe a candidate. And the nasty old smut mill will again begin to grind away as soon as Garfield begins to improve. What more sickeuing spectacle of depravity and moral obliquity awaits the gaze of an outraged people than has already been presented by these leading Radical politicians ? A Young Lady’s Trick. None but a wicked paper like the Kansas City (Mo.) Times could say: “There was no preaching in this town last Sunday, and all in consequence of apractacal joke prepetrated by a lively young girl. The girl, inspired by the world, the flesh, and a little devil mixed, sat down late on Saturday evening and wrote a note to each one of the pastors. The missives were on tinted paper, and nicely written. They each contained these words: “All is discovered—fly!” Nine of the preachers fled to St. Lonis, and three weut West. There is a sensation in town larger than a man’s hand.

Thinkers Will Bead and Heed This. When onr most experienced and practical physicians widely endorse and recommend a medicine, knowing, from the ingredients used, it most have an excellent general effect on the human system, and a true strengthener ol every organ of life, and recognized as Nature’s best assistant in curing dyspepsia, indigestion, general debility, nervous prostration, want of vitality, convalescence, fevers, chronic chills and fever, dumb ague, female diseases, broken down constitutions, ill health, weakness, debility, imperfect action of the organs of life and health, etc., all of which make life miserable, and the Bufferer eager prey for that vilest and most unprincipled class of ignorant medical pretenders, who call themselves specialists, but whose specialty consist chiefly in getting all the money they can from their victims; then indeed should the newspaper press of the country call the attention of suffering humanity to so meritorious a compound. We refer to Brown’s Ikon Bitters, a remedy having the largest sale in the East of any medicine ever before invented, simply because it has true merit and gives permanent relief. Neither will it injure the most delicate invalid, for it can not do harm, and is truly soothing & refreshing to ail and every one suffering from ill health.
