?EDITORIAL GLEANINGS.? If Arthur gets to be President.,? What then? This is now the question of the hour. The-Charlcston Mercury threatens to sue the Charleston Herald for tak ing a part of its title. There arc four papers in Suinter. This county must be blessed with a kind of literary atmosphere. The Greenville News thinks it very natural for ihe Spirit of the Times to oppose prohibition. "Wc should always be just before we are generous. No man has a right to give, until he has paid his debts. The Prohibition Convention has been postponed to some time in ?Sep tember. Bayard gives a dark jiic'tnre of the political cousoquenoes of the Presi dents death, if it should happen. "SenatorDavid Davis' wealth is es timated at from four to live millions, chiefly made by investing in lots in the suburbs of growing western towns. If Arthur becomes President, the parties will become so even in the Keimte that we may expect the dead liest kind of a dead lack. Henry Wattcrson of the Coui-icr Journal*ays; "Airs. S uralt was hang ed on less circumstantial evidence than occurs to the miud as to Roseoe Conk ling and Chester A. Arthur." Sarah Bernhardt ou her return to Europe commenting upon her A uter i can tour says; "The women are charm ihg, every thing is lovable, but the men arc not so nice as the women." Judge Bond has set a noble exam ple in one thing. When his sun was admitted to practice law, he told him that he need not bring a case in his court as he would refuse to hc?r him ?Bishop Stevens of the Episcopal Church of Pennsylvania advises the clergy of his diocese not to use tlu Bevise.l New Testament as King J allies' is the authorized version. Let us continue faithful in the ful Ohncntof our promises to the color ed people, and not be driven from the line of duty by their continual and foolish opposition. Wc should do l ight regardless of eti'ects. The Augusta Constitutionalist suggests if the President dies that the Democrats elect Joseph E Brown President of the Senate. Then if Arth ur dies he will step into the Presi dential chair. The dead lock at Albany is dragg ing along in the dreariest kind of style. Are the people willing to sub mit to such an enormous expenditure :if money for the miserable spirit of i action? It is strange, yet true, that the best of Judges and .'Juries seem to be in Uueuced by the social, moral, or in i elect ual position of the attorneys who plead before him. This is wrong. The merit of the case and nothing else, should be our guide. A colored man killed three children of Sheriff Micslcr of Fernando Coil li ly, Florida, on Tuesday. He was left in charge of the children while the Sheriff.was away. He was hanged immediately and in the presence of two hundred citizens, white and col urecl. Gen. Jim Stcedmaa, an old lighter, rays that Chester A. Arthur is a for eigner and not eligible lb the oflicc of President, and that the Democrats and better Republicans must unite and keep him out of it, if Gar field dies. Dispatches on Tuesday bring the news that a man by the name of Mc Namara, evidently crazy, says'.hat "he is inspired by God to shoot Blaine." He has been arrested in Washington. It seems a little singu lar that all the crazy threats and at tempts should be directed against the administration party, and none against the stalwarts. There ap pears to be some system in the in sanity. The coolness of the assassin Guiteau is exhibited in the following little colloquy which passed between himself and Chief of Police Brooks 011 Tuesday in prison. The prisoner asked if Garfield was suffering. Chief Brooks answered, "He is suffering very much indeed." To this the as sassin replied, "I am sorry, very sor ry indeed that he sutlers?1 wish I had put another ball into him. That would have ended his sufferings quickly." A most horrible crime has just come to light in Savannah Ga. The body of a white man was found pack ed in ice in a house not long vacated by two Italian fruit venders named, Varvto and Par ego. The body was identified a? that of Stephen Capello, ah old Italian vender of images who was known to have about $'2000 in cash. The man was undoubtedly murdered by these two Italian fruit venders for his money wdio prevent ed the exposure of the deed until they made their escape by paying the rent of the house for a month in advance and announcing that they were only going off on :i short visit.

It may be said that the horrible deed at Washington being committed by a half crazy ollice seeker should have no other than au individual sig nilicutiou. But it appears, to us, that borne profitable lessons may be drawn from a contemplation of the eriiue. However much we may endeavor to circumscribe its influence, it will be taken and commented upon abroad as a result of our political system. And are we sure that it is not? All individual action and individual oplii ion is generated and shaped by the fstirrouiuliug atmosphere of thought ami feeling in the same way that the life and growth of every plant is de pendent upon climatic action. The I violent spirit of faction is running riot and corrupting every thing, ami the "spoils system*' is forcing honest men out of politics. "sTlie-crazy spirit of faction," as the Tribune styles it, which is fostered by leading politicians of both parties, and which is now illustrated in the Ulizcrableflghtat Albany- is as respop sible for the tragic a Hair enacted un der the shadow of the White House as the demented dreaming) of the miserable wretch who conceived and executed it. The love of o'liee, which seems to be nothing more than the love of money and notoriety, born of the infamous "spoils system." is running the nation mad. OliSee is made too much the reward for rascal ilv. There is loo much of the glit ter of gold in it. There should be nothing in it, beyond an honest living The ??icials, or servants of the pub lie should never be elevated a'?6ve their masters, the people. Let us cul tivate a higher public schinuqutj ami leach the rising generation, that hou or and profit does not lie altogether iu public position. - mm ? ?a*. - Home laiinctLs. The following taken from the Pal metto Yeomaii is a good text for a little sermon: "There is a class of home guards or bomb-proofs who skulk danger in the hour of conflict, and then when the battle is won they will throw up their hats and shout as loud as any oue." There are many of this kind ol people in the world. They are a sort of go-easy non-committal crowd who agree to everything, or, at b ast, are sure that their views coincide with the majority. They always follow public opinion and never lead it. They never risk battle on au uncer tain issue. They esteem it far more important to be with the crowd than to be right. Such men are not Worth living. They .-ire not hing but home guards, and only lit lb stay at home and take care of the women and Child r< n. Instead of benefiting the world lliey are only seeking to get all they, can out of il. Life is a battle, and full of surging waves of errors and trouble, and there i.. no dodging the issue with honor. We must have stout and brave hearts. Wo are bound to take sides, and in doing so we must step on the side of the right, no matter how weak ami unpopular it may be?no matter if it consigns us to utter annihilation, or apparent degradation. Let us go to the front, ami be ashamed to be home guards. A CaiHlitl Con ft SBloii. About the time of the Louisiana fraud by the Electoral Commission Senator RoscoeCoukling had a long talk with the Hon. Lewis Lawrence, of Utieo, who gives, according to the New York Sun, the following account of what took place: "One night I was with him in his room silently smoking while Conk ling walked up and down liken rag ing lion. At last he broke out: 'Law rence, I can't keep company with this riff-raff any longer. They are rot ton with corruption, tmd, after having taken everything else, they are bound topical the Presidency. Sher man reeks with plunder. Wheeler is a virtuous log-roller. Stanley Matthews would sell his soul for ofllce. As for Hayes, he is simply a pious sneak, ready to give money to be President, and to drop on his knees in tears if caught at it. 1 have a great mind to get up in the Senate and denounce the whole thing to morrow, and call on honest Hcpubli cans to give the election to Tilden, lowborn you, as well as I, kuow it belongs.' I told him it would drive him into the Democratic party! and he said: 'Let it drive; there are more gentlemen and fewer hogs than wiiii us.' These were just his words." The above is a candidly confessed judgment, by the lending stalwart of i I he country, of the rest of the Re publican crew. But i is not the view of individuals that is so important as t lu; acknowledgment by one who knows, in consequence of his close connection with the Electoral Com mission, that the Presidency was stolen. The wdiolo country, North and Smith, knows that Tilden and not Hayes wan elected President, Slid it is an everlasting disgrace to the Republican party. The JPublie Fueling. The public indignation at the at tempted assassination at. Washington seems to be wide spread aud genuine. From all parts of the country, South as well as North, anxious inquiries, and expressions of profound sorrow go up to the capital. Public meet ings arc held every where and resolu tions of condolence are passed. Such public calamities, if they do nothing else, tend to illustrate the brother hood of humanity, aud we trust will result iu bringing about a more har monious and conservative feeling a mong the better classes of all par ties aud sections. Politics run too high, and choke out all the nobler and liner elements of human nature. TIbo feliooliitg of the JPrcal tteut. On Saturday, about mid-ciay, the terrible intelligence reached Orange burg of the attempted assassination of President Garlield. The villain ous act was done by a miserable shiftless and half demented lawyer of Chicago, of Italian origin, named t harlos iJutte.au, because the Presi dent had refused him an appoint1 menl to a foreign consulate, although he assigns as his reason for the deed the salvation of the Republic-ill parly. The President, was in the ladies' room of the Baltimore and Potomac Rail road, accompanied by Mr. Blaine, the secretary of State. While he was walking; arm iu arm, with Mr. Blaine, two reports of a pistol were heard. Mr. Blaine made for the as sassin, hut failed to capture him. He I ibcu called to the people to stop him, I and he was thus taken into custody and lodge.I in Prison. Mr. Blaine, seeing that the President was falling, ran Ip hi in and caught hi in in his arms. It was found that both shots had taken ell'eet, the lirst in the rich' arm, ami the second, just, above the right hip, near .the kidneys. The physicians piobed for the balls, but I unsuccessfully. The attempted*mttr dorer was taken to prison and on the way evinced the utmost eollo?s?ess. His action w?s deliberate and deter mined. I le shot first for the heart and next for the stomach. He said that he was a stalwart, aud that Arthur was now President, and that he did the shooting its a political ne ('easily. Letters were afterwards found upon his person iu which he said, 'I am a sla'.wa t of the stalwarts. I am a lawyer, a theologian and a politician. 1 was with Grant and the rest of our men in New York, during the canvass. 1 had no ill-will to war Is the President. Iiis death was a political necessity.' The history of the assassin shows him to be a worthless character. He was a kind of dead-beat around the hotels of Chicago. He was of brooding revengeful disposition, and was passionately fond of notoriety. Iiis own lather says that he was in sane, wicked and unreasonable, and that he was beyond redemption. Whether this man committed this diva ll'u 1 crime on his own responsi bility, or as the tool of a: other, time alone will develop. 'i'lie President*? Co ii <Li (ion. Dispatches of a cd tilli cling nature have been coining in hourly as to the condition of the President since the unfortunate shooting. The follow ing to the News anil Courier, will give probably tue most correct idea of his condition: , New York, July 5?5.33 P. M. ? From interviews with Drs. Hamilton. Parker and Seale, whoattended Liu eoln, I gather that Gar li eld's chances Of recovery are very slight. It will be ten days before the danger from peritouitis is over and six weeks be fore all fear of fatal suppuration sub sides. Few similar cases are record ed in which recovery took place. Dr. Hamilton says that Dr. Sims's sug gestion to open President Gar field's abdomen and extract the bullet is wild, impracticable and not be thought of. THE LATEST, E X FC ?
