E PHONE Editor -A REPUBLICAN .PAPER i'unUshctl every Saturhy Momiug. One Year, Office: Over ;'Iee Hive"3lore SATURDAY, SEPT., 24, 1881. Loxg Branch, Sept. 18th. 1881. President Garfield died at thirty live minutes past lOo'eloik to-night. What an awful sentence. After a struggle for over two months' of long tlays and weary nigats, the Death Angel claimed its victim, and the soul of President Garfield weut out beyond the seas, the curtain fell, the King of Nations is in mourning. CI iing to with all the strength of a giant, hoping with all the pow-r of a christian, that that "one chance" nr.ghtf multiply into a spark of real hope and, through that Providence in which his trust was confided, bo magnified int. earnest faith of recovcry, the people stood m the background and with son& encouragement at times, thought that that Death would be baffled, and Iic.il lb. restored to the suffering hero. But fate had not so decreed, and not unexpected, the Monster made his grand final charge and carried away the Chief of fifty million people. is Americas civilization a pretense? Is her liberty a mist? What Dominion has sacrificed t? o leader within sixteen years' victims of an assassin. Congress is devolved upon to pass most stringent laws to, here after, better protect the life of the officers of the Government. The President is too easily murdered, and to the murder there is no just punish rnent. But what can be said of the faith ful little woman who imtireingly staid by his bcd-sio.e, aud even dur irxg the darkest hours, maintained her hope, and enthused her suffering husband, when death seem inevitabW, Her very presence acted as a sthnulent. From the time that the little VAman entered the White Home after the shooting 'till the sunken eye-lids closed in death, Mrs. Garfield was in constant attend., ncc, administering coniform the midst of despondency, and speaking words of sympathy and love. What the e2ect of President Garfield's death may have unon the coin -try it is not prope. 'to discuss at this time. Vice President Arthur lias been made Presicbnt, and let us hope his administration may be as puie and able as that inaugurated by his predecessor. Poor Garfield. Another illnstrttion: Uneasy is the head that wears a crown. Was Mother Shipton a Democrat? But then the Democratic party is hardly a factor of the world. By the way, isn't it about time some Simon-pure Democrat was inquiring who "tariff" is? Breash easier and take courrge, Brother Knights. The new Maine Congressman is an editor. It may be contagious. De. Bltss evidently mistakes the President's case for a political campaign, and tries t j tell the lies for both sides. The potato crop is 22 per cent, less this year than last, all of which goes to show that prices for grain will be on the increase. 4 9 '' It is statAd now that Harrison, the "boy preacher " ia no more a boy than Susan B. . Anthony is a girl. If this ift so wei", but pfirhaps it hux'e.

Tun Temperance politicians have issued a call for a iate convention on October (H.h. On the principle that 'he early bird catches the worniJJiis will do, but for general campaigning it is a little too early. In his opening prayer before the Methodist Conference in London, Bishop Simpson prayed loud for the Queen, but omitted to speak of Preside t Garfield. A petition was- immediatety circulated, and ever after our Presiden t was al ways remembered. Little strange, ain't it? Some women will go almost into spasain-s if

a man happens t go abort in hi-shirt-sleaves, but. at the same time she will be promenading vith half a waist on and arms bare- to the shoulders. "How would this strike the people of Indiana: 'For Governor of Indiana in 1881, John Ilanna, of Putnam fin nfv Brazil EntGprise. Not so well f s. ''For Governor of Indiana in 3884, Morton .0. Hunter, of Monroe county. The strife of the late ' onpleasantne? may on considered wen nigo settled when Grant and Sherman are willing tp dine with Johnson, Perston and Beaurgard, as was the case last week. It is well to sheath- the sword of internal strifr and replace it with the knife and fork. In Massachusetts there is a law to the effect that neglect of a wound, or bad surgical treatment, causing complications, such as gangrene or other, can nut be pleaded in defense of the person who feloniously gives the wound, for the reason that no matter what causes follow the wounding,' to cause death, he who feloniously gave the wound is the cause of the other causes, and is. therefore, guilty of murderer manslaughter. This ialaw that accords with justice and common sense. When a "stalwart" Republican ed itor m New Jersey, half lull of "Jersey lightning," jerked of his beaver and cheered because Garfield had been shct, there wasn't a 'half breed1 hero in that whole State to rush for ward and slap his disloyal chops." rMgrtinsvi! le G a zelte. And when a Democratic rooster in Quiucy wrote in his paper that guit can was no more deservous of death than President Garfield, not a Democrat in the whole conutry could be found to black his eyes. The Greenback heresy may now be pronounced on its death-ded. In the late Congressional election in Maine, where the disease raged with unabated fury, only a few votes were cast in comparison with two years ngo. In Mail e, like the Prodigal son, will return to the iA I of Republicanism, repealing in sack-cloth and in afchos, ery-ng repeutence! r-.'pentence! An; ty- .

Ex-PiiKiDENT Hayes i3 quoted b' the Cleveland Ehrald ;s saving that he has always had a presentiment that Garfield would live. He added: "Mylife was threatened many times. I had a large package of letters labeled 'Threats cf Assassination," but I frequently walked alone, for exercise, around several squares in Washington, and faced boldly on all occasions where danger wr.s suspected, against the advice of others. The ushers would generally detect er:u:y persons and turn them away, but one morning a man came to me and demanded a deed tor the land of the Pacific railroad, and had to be put out.'' Thb Philadelphia Timea, pretty good Di'iaoc roticauthrrit', says: "Now and then,eveu in this tranquil season, there comes up a stojy that Ex-Governor Hendricks is still his own candidate for the Presidency. This is probably not authorized by Mr Hendricks himself. He knows as well as anybody knows that the result in Indiana last fall, coupled with the fact thai there arc no more October elections i:u that Stale, ?ettk'd the question for her favorite sous. No body will be anxious to take any more Democratic Presidential candidates from Indiana. Sometime away in the future this fooling may be outgrown, but .for the present Indiana won't h:ive a wry b gh place ia the affections of the Democracy."

It has been a self-evident fact for

many years that anything short of a $1,00 at the Bee Hive, thorough canvass will not bring cut Latest and cheapest style of Suma full Hep ublican vote, while it is mer hoes at Geo. Atkinson's -Store, oauallv self-evident that a Democrat. 13 Pounds of Primes for ONE

under any circumstances, ever fails tft Ueyosic hia ballot. Especially oin this said to be true in Gbio,a3 is illustrated by Democratic victories in 'olT years. So it was a well laid scheme when, under the mask of President Garfield's "lingering at. the door of death," the Chairman ol the Democratic Committee "wished to suggest that we are willing to avoid all discussions that will lead to bitterness." But the Chairman of the Republican Committee, like the patriot that he doubtless is, answered the sentiment of the whole party in the following, which is his reply: "Your favor of this clay has been received. In reply I will say that this committee, before it announced the opening: of its campaign, determ ined that the fair, honest and candid presentations of the principles of the Republican party would be neither improper or un patriotic. I nose pri n ipJes President Uarlieid loved and a ivocated with all his great power. From his lifelong and magnificent record we know that their triumph is most earnestly wished for bv him Whether by the will of Providence President Garfield lives or dits, it is the sacred duty of Republicans to use all proper means to maintain hese principles. rresuJont Uarneul, when a soldier for the Union, never faltered because an emi no t and useful con: rounder fell upon the field of batt'e. If Garfield's voice could be heard 1 e would bid his old comrades: "Do not abandon principles because I sutftr. ' In contending for his and their principles, the Republicans will f 1 ow h s example and obey his cominanc. Whether it is proper at this time to advocate principles which the President ahrays believed to be injurious to the country is a question for your committee to determine for itself." Poor guiteau.
