WASHINGTON, July 3.--Never sinc
the 14th of April, 1865, when th
citizens of the entire Nation wer
looking for the momentary death c

House been the scene of such a terr

Whether the President lives or die!
the night of the 2nd of July will foi
ever mark an era in the history of th
Executive Mausio'i. and the incident
of that night, when the life of Presi
dent Garfield hung trembling in th
balance, will be read with intere,
so long as the English language i
read or spoken. The full particulai
of that night of anxious watching an
fearful forebodings will probably neve
be written. The actors in the scen
were too busy and too much excite
by their fears to remember half of th
little incidents which go to make u
the tragic story ; but some dim pi<
tures of the terrible life drama whic
was enacted in the President's chan
ber, while the whole world was awail
ing with. breathless anxiety its culm'
nation, may be drawn at this tim
while the actors of it still hold it
prominent features fresh in thei
memory. The Times' corresponden
has seen and conversed with most c
of the ladies and gentlemen who passe
the night in the White House, hopin
and fearing alternately for the safet
of the life of the Chief Executive of
nation, and the stories which they rt
late serve-to make a graphic picture <
a scene which all Americans will loo
opon with intense interest, and serv
still more forcibly to depict the chai
acter of Preside,.t Garfield , and t
place -him before the world as a hu:
hand and father as he never coul
have been known but for the attemp
made upon his life yesterday by th
assassin, Guiteau.
'From the time of the shooting i
the Baltimore and Potomac depc
jesterday morning until very nearl
midnight, but little, if any,, hopes <
saving the President's life were eu
tertained by the physicians who ai

but for the remarkably abstemiou
eoutse of life which he had pursue
from boyhood up he never would hav

thought, when it became possible fc
him to think calmly at all after bein
remove to his chamber in the Exec:
tive Mansion, was for his wife an
children. He feat'ed the effect of th
terrible news upon M~.rs. Garfield
and he was anxious to have her an

was told by Mrs. James, wife of th
Posmaser-eneal,andMrs. Hun
- who were doing all that sympatheti
women could do to make him conr
~; fortable, that Mrs. Garfield won]
be with him by 6 o'clock. Ever
moment seemed an age to the fas
sinking father and husband. H
turned restlessly in his bed and aske
the time of day continuall'y. It wa
-evident that his anxiety to meet Mrs
'Garfield was aggravating the effectc
the wounds~ which he had received
but nothing could be done. Si:
o'clock came, and with it, instead (
Mrs. Garfield, the news that the et
gine of-her train had broken down 1
miles outside of Washington. Thi
news was carefully kept from th
suffering Pesident, and a fresh engin
started off to take the place of th<
disabled one. It brought Mrs. Gar
field, Mollie Garfield, Gen. Swair
anJd Mrs. Rockwell to the the city, a
the rate of 60 miles an hour, and a
6.50 the party drove up to the pri
vate entrance in the rear of th<
White Honse.
Here the almost heart-broken wif
was met by her son, James A. Garfield
Jr., Mr. and Mrs. James and Attor
ney-General MacVeagh. She place
her hands in those of Mrs. James ani
directing a piercing inquiry int
her eyes, exclaimed interrogatively
6 Well ?' 'Oh, everything is going o
beautifully,' said Mrs. James in re
ply, 'only he must not be excited
You must be very calm when yoi
meet him.' Mrs. Garfield had nerve<
herself for the ordeal anwl she answere4
-simply, but with great firmness :
can do it..' The party then went sad
ly up the stairs, young James A. Gar
field with his arm about his mother'
waist. Arrived in the library, every
body but Mrs. Garfield paused, and
the doctors withdrew with bowei
-heads from the President's chamber
Mrs. Garfield passed quickly in, ani

were alone together, without witnesses
At the end of about fifteen minute:
the door opened, and Mrs. Garfielm
came slowly out. There were no tear:
an her eyes, and she walked with
firm step and took her seat in thi
library. She was very brave and bor<
up nobly under the great blow whici
had fallen upon her. As she left th<
room Mrs. James passed in. Th<
President was smiling and he beckone<
with his finger to the lady to approach
She leaned over the President and hb
said: 'Have you nmet Crete"~ Mrs
Garfield's Christian name is Lucretia
and Crete is the pet name by whic1
the Presdent always speaks of her
Yes, I have met her,' said Mrs
James. 'And how does she act; hos
did she bear it ?' was the next eage
question. 'She bore it like the tru
wife of a true soldier,' answered Mrs
James. 'Ah, ihe de::r little woman.
xciimed the President, 'I wouki
rather die than this should ause
bed, she said : -0h, papa. T'm so c!ad
to get back to you, but I':- o sorry to
see you in this way.' Then she
kissed him, and the President, put
tin:; his arm around her neck, ex
clained : 'Mollie, you're a brave,
good little girl ' 'Well, I'm not go
e ing to talk with von now,' said the
stout-hearted little girl, as she tender
c ly removed his arm from her neck ;
f -wait till you get well,' and with these
parting words she kissed him again
L- and turned and walked from the room,
t followed by a beaming smile from the
President.
From the moment of Mrs: Garfield's
e visit to him the President seemed to
gain in strength and spirits, and if he
recovers the doctors say that it will be
e due greatly to the presence of his de
t voted wife. After Mollie had left
s him he turned over, and with one
lhand clasped firmly in one of Mrs.
d James's and his head resting upon
r her other hand, he fell into a gentle
e sleep. In half an hour, however, he
d awoke and complained of a pain in his
e feet. It did not last long, and he
P dozed off again, still holding the hand
of Mrs. James. This time he slept a
b little over half an hour, and when he
awoke he said to Mrs. James : 'Do
you know where Mrs. Garfield is
now ?' 'Oh, yes,' Mrs. James an
swered, she is close by, watching and
s praying for her husband.' He looked
up to the lady with an anxious face,
and said: 'I want her to go to bed.
f Will you tell her that I say if she
d will undress and go to bed I will turn
g right over and I feel sure that when I
y know she is in bed I can go to sleep
a and sleep all night. Tell her,' he
exclaimed with sudden energy, 'that
>f I will sleep all night if she will only
k do what I ask.' Mrs. James con
-e veyed the message to Mrs. Garfield,
who said to her at once : 'Go back and
o tell him that I am undressing.' She
returned with the answer, and the
d President turned over on his right
t side and dropped into a quiet sleep
e almost instantly.

t Strange Coincidences.
y
of I Augusta Chronicle & Constitutionalist.
That such a villain as Guiteau
and we take his father's evidence for
s the villainy-should have been born
d into the same world with such a gra
e eious man as Mr. Garfield is suffi
c iently remarkable. But that the
rpath of such a fiend should cross the
, noble orbit of the President, and with
Ssuch fatal significant. is a fact that
d no earthly lore may satisfactorily ex
e plain. There would seem to be in the
lives of some men the most startling
d conjunctions. H- dory is full of such
t marvels. The r?wst memorable need
, jnot be evoked, for they rise up in
e jthe mind of the most ignorant. Tra
.dition is replete with examples. The
d Bible fairly bristles with them. Every
e Ian!cient or modern history taught in
e the schools makes them proverbial.
~We find examples of greater or less
e significance in the ordinary walks of
. life. Nothing is so common and
d nothing so startling as the strange in
y fluence one individual has upon the
t destiny of another. Often this fatal
e collision of mortals is unexpected and
d brought about, as in the Washington
,s tragedy, by accidental causes, or what,
~in our ignorance, we are compelled to
~regard as such. It would be easy for
Ius. to fill this and other pages with
Sillustration, but refrain from doing
,fwhat may be a superfious thing. One
Sremakable incident bearing upon this
yproposition may be pardonably men
s tioned, because, perhaps, it is not gen
e erally known. When school boys in
e ibrance, a French lad named Lamori-'
ciere always accused an Italian urchin
named Cialdini of possessing the evil
,eye, so far as he was concerned. In
,numberless cases the Italian discom
t Sited the French boy, and, in many
.respects, without deliberately intend
s ing it. They left school and went in
to the world, their paths diverging
e' widely. Both became soldiers, and
both became famous. It is supposed
:that they met, for the first time since
j college days, on an Italian steamer.
j No sooner did the Frenchman per
y ceive the Italian than he left the boat
.hurriedly and in distress, excusing
himself for his abrupt departure by
-stating that the evil eye of the Italian
compelled him to do so. Years
Spassed. The Frenchman had become a
Shero of many battles, and then, in a
jburst of zeal, offered his sword to the
[Pope, who was beginning to be envel
oped by armed enemies as well as pri
vate foes. Against the Pope's Gen
Seral marched Cialdini, his evil genius,
and, as if to carry out dramatically
the presage of youth, the French
officer, conquered and mortified, sur
rendered to the adversary of his col
lege time a sword that was dearer to
him than life. From that time forth
Lamoriciere's star sank beneath the
zenith as his old enemy's planet rose,
whether for good or evil, upon the
ruin of another's hopes.
SThis is a curious example of fore
Sknowledge of disaster, through an un
Sfriendly interposition. It is very
rare. In the cases of Mr. Lincoln
and Mr. Garfield, there is generally
small warning, if any, of when and by
whom the blow shall be delivered.

Some Incidents of the Attempt
ed Assassination.
President Garfield's fortitude
and bravery under his severe afflic
tions have been heroic. Shortly
after he was shot he asked the Doc
tors what they thought of his con
dition. One of them replied, "You
have a chance for recovery." "Then,"
said the President, "I'll take that
chance." It is said that his strong
will and cheerfulness have done
much towards bringing him
through.
If the President had not been a
man of regular habits and strong
constitution he never could have
survived ; he would not have ral
lied from the firot shock.
Mrs. Garfield has borne herself
bravely through the trying ordeal.
Though just recovering from a long
and severe -illness she has done a
great deal by her quiet cheerfulness
and self-control to encourage her
husband and keep him in a hopeful
frame of mind. Had she given
way to her grief the effect on her
husband might have been very se
rious.
Amid all the sadness and horror
attending the shooting of the Pres
ident there is one comforting re
flection : the occurrence has created
a bond of sympathy and fraternal
feeling between all sections of the
country that nothing else could
have done.
Another good that may flow from
this evil is, that it is a solemn warn
ing against the spoils system-the
bitter contest for offices. There
seems little doubt that this dread
ful calamity was the natural out
come of the bitter, partisan feelings
engendered by the war on the ad.
ministration. This miserable wretch
Guiteau, unbalanced in mind, and
frenzied by refusal of office, im
agined he was doing the country a
service by removing the President
out of the way and thus bringing in
to power Arthur, Conkling and that
faction. If Conkling and his parti
sans were in the line of duty in
their fight against the administra
tion then they are entirely blame
less ; but if their opposition to the
administration was simply a fight
for place, as we believe it was, then
they are, in some degree, responsi
ble for the result, though no fair
minded man will accuse them of in
tending, or even desiring, such an
occurrence as has happened.
When President Lincoln was as
sassinated by a Southern man the
enemies of the South characterized
the act as the embodied spirit of
slavery and rebellion, and the
South was held responsible for the
crime. When the attempt was
made to assassinate President Gar
field enemies of the Conkling,
Grant and Arthur faction charged
them with being responsible for
the crime, The charge wvas natu
ral in both instances, but in both
unjust. Booth did not represent
the South, any more than Guitean
represents Conkling and his fac
tion. There is this difference be
tween the two cases: The South
had nothing to gain by the assassi
nation of Lincoln ; Conkling and
his crowd had everything, political
ly, to gain by Gargeld's assassina
tion. The Southern people have
felt the gross injustice done them
in holding them responsible for
Booth's crime: they should there
fore be very slow to charge Gui
teau's crime upon the anti-Adminie
tration faction without any evi
dence ; and there is certainly none
so far.
The New York Mlethiodist says:
"However wve may glaze it over,
this assassination is a fruit of our
strife over the miserable spoils of
office. -
"This is the shame of it, the in
delible shame of it, that our politi
cal animosities over dirty and dis
honorable gains of office have armed
an unbalanced man to do a deed of
horror."
The Manchester Guar-dian, one
f the leading paper of Engrland,
It is known that Guiteau was a
constant reader of the stalwart
newspapers, and their editorials
convinced him that Garfield ought
to be put out of the way.
Ex Pres. Jeff. Davis says: "1
sincerely trust the President ma
recover, and that the startling
event will arouse the people to the
consideration of a remedy for the
demoralization which a wild hun1
after office is creating."

To INTENDING ExmnITORs: I hav<
the pleasure of announcing that th<
financial success of this great inter
national enterprise is assured be
yond a doubt by the liberal sub
scriptions that have been made t(
its stock, by the large number of
actual entries already made, and b]
the certainty of an immense throng
of visitors. On my return from at
extensive trip through the Nortl
and West, these facts were laid be
fore the Executive Committee at it
regular meeting, held June 28th
when it was unanimously voted t(
rescind that part of the rule rela
ting to exhibits which required pay
ment for every square foot of floo]
space occupied, and to make the
entry fee of $25.00 the only charge
against them.
Under this decision, every mer
chant, mechanic or manufacturer it

The railroads have agreed tc

exhibition free of charge.
The Commissioner of AgriculturE
of this State is manifesting greal
interest in the Exposition; he
urges the citizens of the State tc
send exhibits of manufactures, farnm
products, minerals, and everything
else that would tend to set before
the world the resources of thE
State. And he advises all who can
to attend, for the benefits that they
would derive from witnessing what
-will be on exhibition.
The Exposition will be opened
the 5th of October, and will remain
open till the 31st of December.
The New York Chamber of Com
merce has offered to Mrs. Garfield
$250,000 as a token of their esteem,
and as a means of relieving the
mind of the President from any
anxiety as to the future of his fami
ly. It has been described as a no
ble and generous act, and perhaps
correctly so. Had the Chamber of
Commerce waited until the Presi
dent's death (in case he does die)
then the act would certainly have
been both noble and generous ; but
a gift to the wife of the President
while he is living is like a gift to
him, and when made by men whose
business interests may be affected
by Executive favor or disfavor,
there is room for suspecting inter
ested motives. We cannot say that
any such motives actuated the giv
ers in this case. It would be bet
ter, however, that Mrs. Garfield
:decline the gift with thanks. IR
the President survive she will not
need it; if he die and the offer is
then made she could accept it with
out impropriety.
The New York Legislature is

rather hastily from the race Thurs

Our WasMington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. C.,
July 6, 1881.
Two days ago we at Washington
were contemplating the disadvantages
which a fatal result to Guitean's infa
mous act would produce. To-day we
look forward to advantages to arise
from the President's recovery, and, in
directly, from the attempt on bis life.
There is infinite cordiality in the tele
grams and other maessages which come
here from all parts of the land. The
country is united as it never was before.
Much of this, and much more of like
good will follow in the future from the
fact that the President and the Vice
President-one face to face with death
and the other with a great and unex
pected responsibility-have the most
cordial relations now in place of the
constraiped if not unfriendly feeling of
a few days ago. Enmity, contention,
distrust-all have ceased, If, happily,
the Preside~nt shall survive, he will
hardly have hereafter during his term
a thought but that his duty is to the
people of the whole country, and with
out regard to party. If, on the contra
ry, the Vice-President shall become the
President he will not be the Arthur who
was a week ago intriguing against the
President's wishes in New York, and
who seemed to think his duty done only
when he served Senator Conkl,ing.
Grievous as the offense of Guiteau was,
and deplorable as its results will be in
seine respects, it has yet not been with
out good effects which will be long en
during if not permanent.
There is a suggestion, made by an
excellent Republican here-an admin
istration man-which is gaining sup
port. It is that the New York Legisla
ture, whose members seem incapable of
acting upon the Senatorial question
with any degree of calmness, shall ad-*
journ at once, and permit the factional
strife on the subject now before it to be
forgotten. It has been said that such
action would be turning the State over
to the Democratic party. That, how
ever, whether it would be a misfortune
or not, is by no means so unlikely a re
sult as it seemed a week or a month
ago.
The opinion, so prevalent a few days
since, that Guiteau was insane, has not
now nearly so many supporters as it
had. That he does not realize the en
ormity of his offence, and is incapable
of doing so. is certain, but the theory of
his actual insanity loses currency daily
in viemonf the evnsof his npat life.

An f.ccommodating Train-Stop at Union,
Glad of it-The Parker House and Fami
ly-Pleasant Ride-Glenn Springs
Hotel History-House Filling Up
Pleasant Comuany-Come
at Once.
July 6th, 1881.
In accordance with time-honored
usage we are enjoying a short summer
flitting, destination, as in tiies past,
Glenn Springs, and by happy chance
lighted Friday night of the day of
leaving in the lively town of Union,
into the hospitable arum of the Parker
fiamily. It came about in this way.
Two trains are advertised to run on
the Spartanburg road so as to connect
wit:a the up and down C. & G., and
so they do. The morning line is not
an accommodation train, but puts the
the passenger into Spartanburg in
quick time, the other is and gets in
about the time the passenger is ready
to vote
SLOW TRAINS A HUMBUG.
There were but four unfortunates, self
and better half, Capt. Nelson, commer
cial traveler, and a darkey. The three
first named smelt the mouse early,
when the conductor presented a little
blank book with printed heading for
inspection. It read somehow thus :
no passenger allowed to ride on this
train without signing away his right
to demand damage of the road in case
his neck should be broken, and that
the conductor must enforce the re
quirement. The Captain and self
signed the death warrant under pro
test, for the sake of peace, with the
mental reservation that if we were
killed to sue for $100,000 each, and
reaching Union without broken bones
at 8.30, got off. The
DARKEY FOUND IT OUT
in a different manner when the con
ductor demanded his fare. "Why,"
said he, "I been told dis was a 'com
modation train, wid nothin' to- pay."
The poor fellow was~ undeceived, the
callous conductor taking his dollar
and a quarter without the slightest
compunction. It was a pleasant change
from a slow coach, dimly lighted, to a
comfortable hotel, a good supper and
surrounded by pleasant friends. So
much had to be said that when bed
was sought the time was somewhere
in the "wee sma' hours." The sleep
which followed required no rocking,
the bed was all that could be asked
for, and more than is looked for in the
average hotel. Morning cool, bracing,
a capital breakfast, and then by invi
tation of Mr. Parker, Sr., we were
treated to a
DELIGHTFUL RIDE
through town and suburbs, behind a
spanking pair of chestnuts. The ride
was highly enjoyed, Miss Kate adding
much to it by her lively sallies. Union
is well worth viewing, with its many
pretty cottages and fine mansions;
the people are good looking too, and
have a fsesh, hearty appearance, indi
cating that the atmosphere and water
are good. Jack Jones is there, wait
ing on the ladies in a first class dry
goods store, and is doing well-and
whispered in our ear that
"HE IS A GOOD BOY"
now; anybody must be good who is
thrown much into contact with the
ladies. Early in the day we concluded
to make the balance of the journey
overland from Union, only 16 miles,
instead of another ride by rail and 12
by hack from Spartanburg. This was
another happy ide2, and much the
pleasanter way of the two, as by it we
had a charming morning with our
friends and another first rate meal at
the Parker House. Leaving at 2
o'clock, Glenn's was reached at 5.30,
ahead of the regular backs from the
other point. We cannot conclude our
pleasant experience of Union without
a word or two for the
PARKER HOUSE,
and for the benefit particularly of_ the
traveling public, who do not know the
family as well as the people of New
berry, nor how well kept their excel
lent house is. Mr. P. is a caterer of
long experience, while Mrs. P. cannot
be excelled in her management or
keeping ; everything is as bright as a
new trade dollar and clean, while the
cooking is unexceptional. Our people
at home know this all to be true to
the letter. We advise parties going
to Glenn's to stop at Union, particu
larly if they come down the road and
take the accomodation.
AT GLENN'S ONCE MORE.
For years we have been making
regular annual visits to Glenn's-only
missing the last summer-and on ap
proachinig on this occasion pleasant ]
ssociations were recalled of times
ast, of the many friends made here,
and of the many who have been re- s

WATER WAS IIEILD.
It was kept by Dr. Moore and Dr.
Winamith in 1840, and in 1S41 by
David Caldwell and Robt. Moorman
at the close of that season it was suld
by the Sheriff, bringing 15,000. Dr.
Van Lew became the purchaser. who
transferred the property to J. B.
Gleun, by whom a new company was
formed. In 1842 Mr. John C. Zim.
werman took charge and by gcod
management made a snug fortune.
Some years later it was bought by this
gentleman; the whole period embraced
in his experience being 10 years, Mr.
J. C. Janney managing it for him a
part of the time. In 1853 the Revs.
Arthur and McCullough, Episcopal
ministers, houtht it and established a
High Sehool: this privine u-nsuccess
ful, after one year's trial, it was again
opened as a hotel by 'Tholr. Steen and
run for two years. Mr. A. W. T.
Simmons, of Newberry, then became
the purchaser, and after an experience
of two years transferred his interest to
W. C. Anderson, an Englishman, with
whose eccentric habits as a host many
of our readers are acquainted.
This period of the Hotel history brings
it down to the time of our acquaint
ance. Mr. Anderson kept it through
the war and for 10 years, making
only enough to keep
BODY AN_) SOUL TOGETHER,
and so used had he become by this
time to the bard blows of fickle for
ine, that when times began to change
he would not accept it, preferring to
fight it out on the same line. One of
his oddities was a table which so
commodated eighteen persons, the
nineteenth applicant being invariably
refused admission. Of course he
never paid the purchase money and
the property then came into the hands
of Geo. D. Smith and Dickson Fow
ler, and after a short while into sole
possession of the latter who made
money. In 18'74 Dr. J. W. Simpson
-now deceased-and J. Wistar Simp
lon, his son, bought the property from
Fowler, and it has been run success
fully since then to the present time,
every succeeding year adding to its
popularity and restoring it to .its
ANCIENT PRESTIGE.
We trust that this account has not
wearied the reader ; if it has, the best
apology which can be offered is that
we did not know that Glenn's had so
much history when we commenced to
write it up. The facts may be mixed,
but in the main are corteet. A fair
comnplemaent of visitors are already
here, widows, wives and maids pre
dominating, with the usual number of
infants and little folks. The infants
under the soothing effects of the water,
it is pleasant to say,
DO NOT CRY
except when hungry, and that is rare,
for the abundant good fare furnished
by our landlord insures a bountiful
supply of lacteal nourishment. The
widows are charming, as they always
are-the writer has a weakness on this
point-while the maids and misses
are all that fancy can paint them.
One from Newberry has already
taken captive an old widower from the
pine regions of Orangeburg-his sighs
make night hideous, and the quantity
of water he imibibes in the vain effort
to drown his passion and smother the
fire which
CONSUMES HIS GIZZARD
is fearful. The doctor thinks his case
one of enlarged liver, but he does not,1
and continues to sigh. All the time
the young lady scatters her smiles
right and left. Major J. P. K. is
much missed, but we have the conso
lation that sleepers have no fear of
being disturbed in their morning
slumbers. The friends of Miss Emma
L. will be gratified to learn that she
is improving very rapidly, and that
by her agreeable manners and general
miable qualities has made herself a
niversal favorite-we feel under many
>bligations to her for kind attentions.
Every day adds to our number
ad soon the building will be full.
ome on then, friends, come before
her rooms are all taken, come if you
re sick and be healed. We regret to
ay that Mr. Wistar Simpson has been
uite sick for several days and for
everal days the guests have been de- a
rived of the pleasure of his company
-he is convalescent at this writing.
We cannot omit mention of an old -
~riend, well known in Newberry, Mrs.
obo, who lives at the crossing, with
hm we had the pleasure of dining di
in Tuesday last. Her house is full hi
od is as well kept as of old. Mr.e
