Tho public mind seems to have settled down to the conviction that the President's recovery is assured, Unfortunately there ts stitl reason to doubt, and it docs not seen prutont to cultivate a belief that may result ina sudden disappointment, and consequent- ly a great shock, ‘Thosa who rend merely the two or three offletal bulletins which are sentout by the physlelans in charge flint 4 certain reassurance in all of them, Whethor or not these doctors haye Intended to convey dust the fmpression whieh the people have guthered It is not possible to sayy but, in any event, most people appear to ignore the fact that the President's condition Is. stttl exceed- ingly critical, ‘The advices which come from others near to the President, whose ophitons are valuable, have hada despondont tonedur- ing the pust two days, and not the least alarin- ing feature Is that tho -Prestdent himself seemed tu be Josing heart. “Do you think It ‘worth whilo to keen up this fight for life?” Is thequestion he ts reported to linve asked his old friend Dr. Boynton, who naturally and properly. encouraged him. «Chat question sounded almost ike a ery of despair. It seemed to Indleate tht the. President ts growing weary of the struggle. If tt was prompted by physical weakness and the low- spirited condition natural to such a state, even then ft hos asad significance, Dr. Boynton, the President’s old family vhystelan, and Dr. Susan’ Edson, Mrs, Gar- fleld’s physician and the President's: most constant murse, talk moro frankly; than the syndleate of doctors who unite in taking official charge of the ease. Dr. Boynton has been the first to give, tho public art intylll- xent Ilea of the actual weakness and pros- tration of tho patient, «The public did not know till yesterday that the brave and Hght- hearted sayings which have been telegraphed all over the country were uttered in a low and feeble voice. The‘ public has been kept In ignorance of the’ fact that the Presi- dent bas been suffering several days from partial ° perltonitls,—"clreumsertbed — perl- tonitis,? Dr. Boynton calis {tan internal inflamination which groatly aggravates tha case, Mrs, Edsou, a stilled physician aud oxperlenced nurse, has not the eheerful tone which the others nssume In talking of the Tresldent’s contltion, Stic’ says that the patient constantly gives signs of grest wenarl- tiess, and that he ig not so hopefal as‘ he was in the cartier dnys of his prostration, He merely takes his food when it Is offered to Im now, but does not ask for it nor appear ty relish ft. Theso and other Incldents re- luted by these two Intimate and dovoted friends of the President and his family indi- ente that a dangerous lassitude and indiffer- ence are growing upon the sick man, When a strong mind and vigorous constitution yield to those {nfluences of prostration, only tho’ optlnist can take a cheerful yiew of the case. , : Tho President may get well. That*is probubly n fair statement of the case now, a8 ithas been from tho first, . It 1s character- ‘Istls of the Ainerican people to accept tho most rosente ylew of things wher ft accords vith their ardent Wishes. It Is becomtng in this case tu hope. It {s propor for those who surround the President to encourage him to euntinuc his fight for life, .Bubit iy not wise Jor te public to decelve ‘Itself about his actual condition, It has been erltleal from the moment the slug of the ‘ bulldog” re- volver penetrated Into his body and struck. him down, and is so still, itis not well that lis denth, tf It uccur, shall come upon tho peovle with the anne shock ns the first an- nouncement that he had been assielnated, It will bo tine to rejoice when he shall bo on . his fect again.

Route No, ‘37,100, from Green River City to Camp Brown in Wyomlng, was raised from $3,000 to $47,010 per yenr. ‘This route was rotten with fraud. ‘The contracts which changed hans several times wore given to men of straw. ‘Lhe anttre net reeulpts of the oflices an thelr route amounted to only S00,” and yet in one day, March 2, 1877, Brady al- lowed nf Inereass of $50,500! “And alt this time the Dapartinent was contitiunlly warned of the frauds practiced on this rotite, and not, only this, but. the man who offered to prove the frauds was made to suffer politically for Is temerity tn inaking stich an offer. ‘The total saving effected. by the Postmaster: General by cutting down star-route extrav- agnnee and thievery amounts to over a intllion of dollars, ‘and he expects to chop off Aatarter of a millon more Ina short time.

American politics has develo ped many ce- centricities, but we think there has never been anything so utterly altiless as the at- tempt to keep alive the so-called Greenbacl: r Tint’ party, It ts hard to belfeve that a tato Convention has been held ‘under the ausplees of that singular organization, and a full State ticket hag been nominated In Wis- consin, Inthe mnme of all that fs reason: able, to what end? .There can be no hope of success for such a faction in Wisconsin. Men waste their votes who go through the form of depositing a Fiat ballot nt election, ‘and others waste tholr time and money who get up the conventions and conduct a campalgn. "The name of the Fint party may be of somo use In. certain sections of tho South whoron majority of the’ people desiro to pro- test. against Bourbon rule and have not tho moral courage ‘to do so under tha name of Republicans, Even thero any other designation would serve as woll ns. *Flat.” But in Wisconsin, or in any other State where the ballot is free, it {a slieer folly to malntatn a party organization whose alm isn thing of the past and wrose following is not Jnrge enongh to clect n Congressinnn if .the whole party vote were concentrated in a single district. What is there that a Fint party can accom: plish? We have gresnbacka In ptenty, and the people will not consent to degrade them to Irredeemabliity; we have an abundance of gold and silvers; we have nn elastic bank cur- reney which can’bs expanded to any extent. which the business of the country may de- mand, What'better condition of the cur- reney can be demanded or suggested?

No one will cluin that these bodies du not come legitl- mately Into Prof ‘Wolsso’s hands, and, #60 Tung as there ara no friends or relatives to claim them or to be shocked by thelr. dle position, what mattors 1b whether the Pro- fessor places them on his table for. dissection .or “stands . them | up. ,for his pistol” practice, so long. as ho has a ‘landnble eclentifle purpose in, view Jk’ elther' case? As the “stiffs” Into, which Prof, Welsso shools his harness. bullets would be cut inte fragments any way, what harm fs done by first perforating: them with bulleta? Ie Prof, Welsse wore shooting away at his cadavers. merely to Ime prove his pistol practice, there might bo some yoou for complnint, especially asa. target-board would answer hls purpose bet-. ter; but, fuasmuch as tho targut-board would | not afford hins any knowledge of tne nature of pistol wounds, and the cadavers do, there 4g no particular reason why Prof. Welsse should not continue to blaze away at then, dit, Swinton tothe contrary notwithstanding. As the ultimate deatiny of tho dend bodies Is j to be ent tp, Holled and plekied, a few pistol holes in _them, mora or less, wilt not do any harm, Tho senthnental argument ot Mr S. that the body is tho tomple of the spirit is almost too absurd for notice, After the temple Is degortet by the spirit and gone’ over to the “polltte worms’? ‘or to “stop a hole tu keep thé wind away” whit. matters it? af the wreteh Guiteat. had been set up for Prof. Weisse’s practice, in order that ho tnjelit nacertaln Just what Injuries the ngsagiti' intlicted upon the Frest- tlent, Mr. Swinton’ might have made out a sontiinental casont.teast, though the retrib- ultye fustice of ;the Mosale law could have been pleaded i his justifteation. ‘Theamount of Indignation Mr. Swinton expends over cadavers oni their way to thedissecting-room, heenuse a few holes are mace in them pre: vious to their cutting up, scoms a little ridic- wlous, to say the Yenst. _—— es ————— THE.
