Not since the murder of President Garfield at the hands of .a miserable assassin has the country received such a shock as it did on Friday night when the sad intelligence was flashed over the wires that Carter 1 larrison, the mayor of Chicago who was to take a prominent part in the closing exercises of the World’s Fair and who had done so much to make it a success, had been shot down in his private residence, in cold blood and without any provocation what ever. Mr. Harrison was one of the best and most popular mayors that the city has ever had and his untime ly death caused universal sadness among all classes of people, and it was only the coolness and courage of the police that saved the murderer from being immediately lynched. The murderer requested to see Mr. Harrison on business and as soon as him and that the Legislature, whenever I it saw proper to do so, coeld put someone else in his place. Mr. Snm-1 ner was always reelected however dispite the manner in which he ig nored instructions. WAS A JUDGMENT. His or standing advertisements. DARLINGTON To Subscribers.

Every hon or was paid to the deceased Mayor and his body lay in state in the city Hall all day Monday and was viewed by thousands of sorrowing people. The closing exercises of the World’s Fair, for which elal orate arrange ments had been made were as far as possible suspended and the day closed in sadness End gloom and with the flags all at half mast.

Waddell had been appointed Postmaster of the Town, and it is very hard to say which feeling pre dominated, surprise or itdignation, for if ever a people were indignant a too much method to allow the from was made in behalf of the man who mur dered Prefidcnt Garfield, but this did not save bis neck from the gal lows.

Baltimore, Oct 30—Rev. Dr. Henry M. Wharton, pastor ot the Brantly Baptist Tabernacle, and who recently, in Chicago, assisted Rev. Dwight L. Moody in the conduct of a series of evangelization services, in a sermon on the theme “Ged’s Judg ment,” thus, as he is reported in thel News, called the attention of his congregation to the tragic end of Mayor Harrison, of the World’s Fair! City. “It seems as though God Some times rises in his might and in his j wrath smites those who oppose him. Mayor Carter Harrison, the chief ex ecutive of the city of Chicago, was shot down and killed. Who was Carter IIrrrison ? He was the rep resentative of the element who burled defiance at the laws of God and man. “When the Law and Order element of the city said the saloons must be closed on Sunday and that gambling must cease, what did Mayor Carter Harrison say ? He said the saloons shall remain open on Sunday and gambling shall go on. Where is Mayor Harrison now ?” The preacher, after a pause, an swered his own question—“He is| Dead.” It would be difficult to couceie of anything that shows a greater lack of charity than the above expressions I indicate, and if tne minister who gave them expression is a typical Christian, then a great many people I will have to change their ideas of | what constitutes this true spirit of christiauity We are at a loss to un derstand how Dr. Wharton knows anything more about the workings of God’s providence than any other of his creatures, and it would be well for him to bear in mind the solemn words of the Savior, “Judge not that ye be not judged.” Mr. Harrison had his faults, as j who of us has not, but there must have been much that n as good and noble in his nature or the countless thousands of the poor people of Chi-1 cago would not have shed their tears over hie remains. It does not often fall to the lot of anyone to be buried amid the lamentations of a whole people. CASTOR IA for Infanf and Children.

He is vjC a resident of the town; is an avowed advocate of the Ocala de mands and consequently not a Dem ocrat; has never rendered the least public service to the people or to the Democratic Party, and is generally believed to have b-.en a Republican in 1876 when the white people were making a supreme struggle for exist ence. We have no personal preju dice against Mr. Waddill, but rea sons given above are sufficient to ex plain the objection of the Herald to his appointment. Of course it was to be expected that Mr. McLaurin would do every thing in his power for his Populist associates, but he could not have se cured this appointment without the aid and connivance of Senator But ler who was supposed by the Post master Genera) to represent the Dem ocrats of the State. The Senator has dug his own grave, and for him there will be no political resurrect ion, He is simply blind if he does not see the hanwriting on the wall.

Morally it is doing do good and financially it is practically a failure. The popular idea of a representa tive in Congress or the Senate is that of a mau a ho is to slavishly obey the instructions of a caucu j or a party, and not to exercise his own judgement as to what course is best for the good of his emstituents. According to this notion anybody who can be pliant and ebedient to the popular will, can make a repre sentative and high character and a knowledge of public affairs are not at all essential, in fact, if this idea is to be the rule, the less cultuae a man has the better he will Le enabled to follow instructions as to how he must vote. It would be well if some of the Southern Senators and repre sentatives would remember the manly independeece of Charles Sumner, who would not even recognize the right of the Legislature of his own State to instruct lum in regard to his duties, his invariable reply to these instructions being that he was in the Senate to repreresent his State and to do the best he could for the wel fare of the country, and that he in tended following his own judgement as to what was the best course to pursue in furtherance of this object, -IjOliu*.— Ht-wn. 1,, ALBERT WILKES' Mr. W. r.
