Garfleld hns strenu- ously insisted, and {t ling been ordered. There should be no time lost. Every day, of, ‘tho sitiferer’s stay In Washington i tite danger that that most dreaded of iomplications, mularia, may seize Mihlin, Ordinarily it would be deemed out'ét the question to movon patlént In the President’s condition, but it has come to be generally conceded that tho journey is the one bare chance of saving his Ife, and thnt he will surely die if ho remains In Wash- ington. Yesterday morning the fact be- came known that during the previous night thero had been a recurrence of gustric trouble. The. Presidents favorit nourishment is milk porridge, and, whilo he relishes this more than any other food, lt docs not agreo with him. Nausea and vomiting occurred two or three times during the night, and the pulse went up to 110, and the temporature to 9 in conse- dlictice. There was no return of .the vamit- Spe durmg the day, and the surgeons and lite House attendants manifested no es- pecia! uneasiness at the temporary diaturb- auce, Prof. Georay B, Wit.tAms, whose con- nection with Michigan University dates back to 1849, died at Ann Arbor yesterday Jn his 0th yeor, an Mrs. Cann, wile of tho gallant General who perished with hls command in tho Apachio massacre, was doubly bereaved. Her only son, who had just returned from school xt the East, was with his father, and was killed, ‘Tirr sermons which wo print in full this Morning are those of the Rey. Dr, Thomas, at the Peoplo’s Church, who preached on the practical and the theoretical In relfgion; and of Prof. Swing, who, upon his return from lls summer vacation, chose for his theme “Syinpathy.” Both preachers wore grected by very largo congregations, AS Investigation by the Mexican Depart- ment of Public Works into the recent awful - disaster on the Morelos Rallroad resulted tn finding the railroad company, Its Chief En glneer, and the Government Engineer ro- sponsible.

After this fire had. partially subsided the strong wind fanned the embers Into flame again, anu three fine dwellings with contents, valued at $7,500, were soon totally destroyed, necro Renee Tie Governors of Ilinols, Ohlo, Wiscon- sin, and Indiana have coincided with tho suggestion of Goy. Hoyt, of Pennsylvanta, and have Issued proclamations naming to- Morrow, between the hours of 10 4. m, and noon, ns thé time for the people of. thelr re- spective States to joln In prayer for tho resident's recovery. Gov, Farnham, of Vermont, names the snine hours on Thurs- day of this week for that purpose, eee Tne actlve coljperation of Maxico will be secured In the attempt to put down the Apacho uorising, as the hostiles are as Mangerous In Mexico as In the States, and if thoy make their escape across the border will Jeave massacre nnd desojation in their traln, Early in tha week a band of Apaches killed two Americans and threo Mexicans at Engle Springs, 100 miles southenst of E) Pase, aud then fled over the mountains into Mexivo, ‘Tne fair-trade agitation tn England fs a useful diversion for tho Conservatives while it Is In Its preliminary stages, but It will glvo them trouble as soon ag a dofinit program Jsannounced. ‘They cannot seriously intend to include both manufactured and food products in anew tarlil; and they cannot “pratect” one without losing the support of the class interested'in the other, It will be observed that the Conservative leaders thus far have dealt only in glittering generalitles. Thelr veal work will begin when they havo to reduco thelr promises to set terins of tpeech, Norvan this process of definition be much longer postponed. ‘The condition of parties In Eugioand {s such that tt will be fm- possible for either to make p canvass without a pollcy distluctly outlined beforehand, The Birminghain School, as wos announced in the dispatches yesterdsy, has a reform in reserve which may easily topple over the Falr-Trade party if Its operations are carried too far, English fand-reform, thé abolition of primogentture and tho enforeed reduction of rents would bring more rellef to tho agri- cultural classes than any amendments of tho tariff. Indeed, the Intter would be offered as bribes to the artisans rather than the farmer: It would be a curios outcome of flerce com- petition for votes in England if the Conserva- fives should make inroads into the Radical constituencies of the manufacturing towns while tho Liberals shoult make good thoir losses by picking up Conservative boroughs andcounttes fn tha rural districts, whivh have long been the strongholds of Tory power. SrxAtor Epsunns, we sre pleased to ob- serve, {s heartily in favor of the ‘Len Com- mantments and tho Sermon on tho Mount. He also proposes to secure civil rights, purity in Congressional elections, and civil-service reform, to abolish the legal-tender quality of the greenbacks, and to. readjust the reyentte lows “upon the basis of produciug the grent- est revenue with the least and nenrest equal burden to the people.” Far more Important than the platform which the Senator sends out from tho wild woods In this heated term Is tho announcement that he has recovered his health and will be ready to do good sery- {co In the Senato next winter. Mr. Edmunds himself is ono of the most excellent plat- forms and campaign documents tle Republie- an party las ever fssned, Titk value of electrical tnventions has re- ceived a fresh {ustration in the ease of the schooner Vermillon, which was wrecked fn Lake Erle In 1843, Tho vessel was loaded with copper ingots of the valie of $60,v00, but her preelse location far down In deep water was for thirty-four years a mystery. It remalned for eleetricity to solve the mystery, With a newly-invented electric Indleator on board 9 crulsing schooner evil- dences of the proximity of submerged metal wero at Inst obtained, and Inst Saturday divers were sent down to search, They lauded plump on the deck of the sunken vessel, and reappeared at the surface bearing one of the copper ingots. The entire recov- ery of the valunblecargo in undamnged con- ultion 1s now a question of a fow days only, Tun report of the British Postmaster- Qencral shows nt increase of 14.8 per cent In the numbor of registered Iptters for the postal year ended March 31, and a decrease of 2.9 per cent In number and 2.7 per cent in amount of money-orders for thesnine period, The monoy-order system lins not come up to public expectation either in this country or Great Britain. It Is a clumsy contrivance. ‘There are too many forms to be observed; the delay in getting the order'or the “ad- yice” is often considerable, and the loss of time In proportion. Tho ulillty of the money-order !s much dininished In this country by permitting the elerks in largo cities to keep bank hours. Laboring men and women who have to go to the office in person to get orders cashed or written lose part of thelr valuable time morely to save the postal clerks from inconventence. The money-order system isin a measure a fail- ure. It will eventually be superseded by tha introduction of negutiable postal checks and an extension of the registry system, which is now almost an absolute protection against Joss, and {a more oxpeditlous and economical and simpler than the money-order. owrven coinforting the paralic! between Lieut. Filppor and Capt. Howgate may be to the friends of the negro race, wa fear It is not quitefair, Lieat. Flipper, unfortunately, was the only negro officer In the army, while Capt. Mowgnte was not the only white ofi- cer. Moreover, Mowgatawas notin the line, and had no standing among regular oficers, Ile was a Coburg, n pet, w barnacle, a military and clyil hermnphrodite, neither one thing nor the other, who had become fast- ened on tho service undor Grant and was re- tained in It by Hayes, Howgate was In no sense a representative white ofticer. Flipper, on the other hand, was notonly 1 representa- tive of the colored race, but the only one it hadInthearmy. It will not do, of course, to hold the race responsible for him, or to argtta the moral depravity of all negroes be- enuse 2 porson: three-quarters white turned. out a thief, or to declare that the bincks haye no eupacity for education when one of then lias so amply demonstrated his study of Canensian guile, But It will be wise to admit at once that Filpper’s case was a sad one, and that he betrayed a causo more im- portant than his personal honor when he abstracted the regimental funds, = Tue Quiney Herald man lins informally entered-a plea of insanity on his own behalf, and will be acquitted by an indulgent public of responsibility for his actions, Since the Spanish knight tilted at a windmill there has not been such another representative of chivalry in pintaloons as the Quincy gontle- ihan, Ho has, in the Inconsequontial man- ner of feeble-minded persons, forgotten all about tho original cxuxe of the quarrel, and has begun an attack upon tho First Natlonal Bank of Quingy, the oflteurs of which iid not believe that Guiteau was “just as hon- orable ns the man he shot.” The bank with- drew its advertisoment from tha Ierald; therenpon the latter denied Its solvoucy and Atlompted to incite a run upon It, using language which fs clearly actionable, and would cost in almost any court of law from $10,000 to $20,000, ‘Tite Herald wayly Ignores {ts own responsibility In having sollelted and printed the advertisoment of a banking concern which it now declares Ia Insolvent, but the weakness of which It did not pro- claim until its patronage was withdrawn, ‘Tho Dank will not want for funds so long as tis kind of warfare Is waged upon it, From present Indleations the Zeratd will bo suuffed out first. ‘Tue fiscal yenr of the United States Treas- ury ended on the 80th of June, and the ae- counts of the Governmnent’s receipts and ex- panitures for that year havo all been te- celpted and batanced, The year lina been a most prosperous one, the receipts of revenue from enelr source, and of course in the ag- grogate, belng much greater In 1881 than for tho prosperous year 1650, while the. expeudl- tures were, on the whole, much sinaller, ‘The revenue expenditures for 1881 and 1880 thus compare; NEY REVENUE, 1891, 1590, Customs, ...seee 8108, 150,070 19,624,086 Internal revenue, AGU 000,07 Dtrect tax... 1,5¥ BL Bales of public land 2,201, Eas 1,010,506 Silacellancous +e 80,958,858 S107 005, Total: $560,182,203 | RK, A8,610 N EXPENDITURES, JéSt,, 1590, Civiland miscotlancous § 61,410,225 — $ 54,713,590 Premium on purchase of bondd......6. 2OOL2I7 2,700 War Dopartment, 40,100,400 33,110,910 Navy Department.,. 850,074 AD,0,085 Tndinns ., 0,514,101 AAT Pensions... ree a) RTT TL Interest on publlodebt, 42,608,741 05,707,576 Tot soteseeyeen es S260,T19,887 207,019,087 Tho recelpts from customs increased 'S11,- 657, O12, and from fnternal revenue $11,251,011, ‘The totat Increase was $27,295,081, ‘Tho ox- penditures were nearly $7,000,000 less than in 1880, though In nearly all the rogular items tho expenditures were greater.

Tm APACHE MASSACRE. The horrible inutdors tn tho Lava-Bods by “the treacherous Motduea and the massacre of Custer ond ils troops by, Sitting-full's | Indians are brought to mtn afresh by tho terrible enlamity whieh has overtaken gat. dant Gen, Carr, his offleers and eavalrymon, on tha Arizona fronticr. ‘Tho story fs as brief as the slaughter. Gen, Carr, at tte head of ahundred troopers, lett Fort Apache, undor the guidance of Indlans supposed to be friendly, to arrest some “medicine men”? who were iuelting the White Monntain tn- dans, on Cibfen Creek, about thirty-tive tniles from the fort, to hostilities dgutnst the whites, Licut. Cruse, in making tho arrest, was shot, ant this was the signal forn gan- eral attack upon Carr's men, In whieh the treacherous red devils, who were supposed to be friendly, joined. It was the work of a few ilnuutes and nll wero killed.. Flushed with thetr bloody work, the Indians = then =—sailyanecdd upon Fort Apache, which was guarded by tesinall infantry foree, kHHng all the whites thoy meton route, and It ts reported have captured the fort, If this be so, not one of the soldlers will be left of the two companies ot Infantry at the post, ‘Lo add to the hor- rors of tho massucre, several ladies, wives of oficers, are nt tha fort, nmong thom Mrs, Car, and 1f they are not killed they will be taken into a captivity worse than death, It Js to be hoped that later news may bring the more cheerful Intelligence that they have eseaped, nud that the reinforcements on the way hurrying to that locality from all direc- tions may have come near enough to dtyert the Indians froni thelr purpose, but at pres- ent It looks ns if the whole command at Fort Apache had been anmiiitinted. itis hard to write of these perlodical mas- sacres by {ndinus with much patience, be- enuse they are neciless, More than this, it isa wanton, gratultous sacrilcoof our brave soldiers, and they are likely to continue so long as the Government continues to pursue its present mistaken policy in deallng with Indians, These White Mountain Apaches were known to be hostile. ‘They belong to the same breed as those under Victorlo and Nana, who have been plunderlag and mur- .dering in New Mexico for years, They were placed upon a reservation five years ago, but instead of keeping them under surveillance they were allowed to return to their old lhunting-grounds, and thero they have been, well armed and equipped, ever since, Mow numy mora mnssaeres of brave offt- cersand soldters must we have before the Government will abandon Its stupid and dangerous polley of allowing Indians to ruin at Jarge? ‘I'he massacre of Custer’s com- mand, the esenpa of those particloating in It, the dymunity from punishment which they hav®tnjoyed, offered a premium to overy other Indian tribe at large to repent the hor- rible deett Simple justice now demands that the treacherous scouts who turned upon Gen. Carr shallbe pursued and exterminated, and that the Apache hostiles shall elther bo killed or placed where they will be tnenpa- ble of any further inischict, A terrible ex- ample should be made of them, to let other hostiles know that tha Government is in earnest. ‘This, however, will only bo a trlfilng compensation for the loss of oitr sol- alors, Tt does not go to tho root of ‘tho evil, nor will wo ever linve pence on our Western frontivr until the entire pack of Indians, friendly or unfriendly, are co- ralled and placed in the Indian ‘Territory or some locality where they can be dismounted, disarmed, and set to work, and swindling white Agents and traders who come within gunshotof them hanged. ‘Chore never will bopence or any security witlt the nanage- ment of the Indians Is taken outof the hands of tbo Interlor Department and they aro placed In the charge of the War Department, where they belonx, Such n disposition of them would ronove the Intluences which are constantly driving them out on the warpath, free them from tho villainous practices of traders and Agents, and place them under a surveillance which would be effective. The argumontof Gen, Gibbon on this point, which we have stready printed, is worth repouting, as he fs probably ag well nequainted with the Indinus theoretleally and practically as any man In the country. After urging thelr re- moval to the charge of the War Departinent, he says? ‘The location and surroundings of our Indian (rites ure so nearly fdenticul with thoso of our irontler garrisons that tho most uutural suze gestlon fa, thoy should bo aupplied under eagen- tally the same systent, Our troups, no mutter how remote or how isolated their statlon, are always supplicd in a satisfactory manner with good, wholesome food, and itis only when un- expected muves take pines or now posts mre es- tablished that any dilloulty arises, and it fs thon outy tomporary, ‘The armyesyatem of supply and distribution isso well understood by tho mombers Of thisinutitution that {t Is noedloss to dwell uport It any furthor than to remark on tho perfect. system af responsibility onforced, der this soine comrnissloned otticer is always held to account for every. ounce of suppiles res colyed for the uso af the truops, and troops nover need be badly-supplied If tie command- fog olticor attends to tis duty; and not even ee untegs atl otbor olticers nt the post neglect otra. As It fs now, alniost the entire army has to be employed in keeping tho Indians from committing outrages which grow out of the system, or rather want of system, of tho In- terlor Department. Su long aa the army lins to be kept constantly omployed, owing to tha IncMieteney of the Interior Department and the corruptions growing out of ft, it would seein ns if ordinary conmon sense suggested that the whole Job should bu Iet out to the War Departinent. It Is to bo hoped that a swift and terriblo examplo will bo inade of the Apache Indians, but lt will ben short- sighted policy If the action of the Govern- nient does not go to the root of the evil and eradicate It, THE GOVERNMENT DEBT, Fow persons stop to consider, wo think, what a wonderful change has been worked In the condition of the public debt during tho past three or four yenra, It 1s not merely tho large reduction in the principal of the debt nor the immense saying In the Annual Interest-charge which are romarka- | ble, but also the adinirablo shape to which tho outstanding securities havo been ail- justed. ‘hore aro just four kinds of Goy- ermment securities, and these aro go ar ranged in terins as to protect the Govern- ment from uny inerease In Interest during the next twenty-flve years, and also to enable | It to retire bonds at an actual saving in pro- portion to the surplus reyenuy It may have, 1, There are the greenbacks, redeemabloon. demand, amounting In round numbers to §310,000,000, It was but n fow years ago that these notes wore at a discount at home and not recognized in any other country, ‘So- doy they are at par and reeelyed in any com- merctal country Iv tho world ike tho Bani of England notes, They can be exchanged for coln not nicrely at the Sub-Treasury in New York City, but In any bank or broker’s Office inthe world. ‘Together wilh the Na- tlonal-bank notes, which are exchangeable for the Government notes, they constitute a model currency, and practically they do not figure as 8 part of the Government debt be- cause they draw no interest and the people are not willing to surrender them uyon.any tehms, 3 2, ‘The securities bearing the highest rate of interest (except ‘a, comparatively small rHE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1882, Anionnt of surfotey 69 which do fob? tid Presttonts perautitl sigilite—that nature for sonie fyeats) are the 41g per cent bonds. ‘These tty) ti) ISM, or ten yours, nid Are selling at atbut 18, By the accepted method of catddlating Interest they would steht to the Gorurmment n saving of about Wg per cent if Uexht at tho prevailing rate of premium.

The surplus revenues.of the Government go on Increusing ata rapid cute, amt Seere- tary Windom will soon be galted upon to de- clde what eiass of securities he shall begtn to retire. ‘The “optional bontts” ent bo called in at any time at par; the Gayernmeyt will be obliged to go into the market ant buy up the others at the current préiniyn. At first thonght ft would seem to be the best policy to retire those bonds which car be procured at par; but the New York Evening Post suggests a dliferent course, which nay be of greatet advantage to the Government, , From the year 189t, when the 4!¢ ner cents mature, till the year 1907, when the 4. per cents inature, there will be an interval.of sixteen years, during which there will be no, bonds that can be pald at the optton of the Government, If the present “optional bods be retired In the meantime: It ts possible and by no ineans fmprobable that the premtum on the outstanding bonds wilt then be pushed up ¢o an unrenson- able figure if the Government shall sill pursue the polloy of maintaluing the sluking-fund. Tho 4 per cent and diy yer cent bonds can be purchased now atn rate which will save the Government its inuelt Interest In the long rin ng by retiring the 84 per cent “optional bonds” at par, For Instance, the bond running twenty-six years and drawing 4 per cent interest repre- sents an agerernto expenditure in the future of 104 per cent Mfiterest. After deducting the 15 por.cent premium which ft will be neces- sary to pay for that bond, there will remain 8 per cent interest to be pall. Dut if these 4Aper cents were purchased aud the 314 per cents allowed to rttn, say fifteen years, the agercente interest thereon would amountto only 521g por cent, which would bo n gain ot nearly 87 per cunt In interest for tho Govern- ment, ' However Seeretary Windom may flgure out the purchase of bonds from the surplus revenue (and he may be safely trusted to do the best for tho Govertiment), It will be seen that the arrangement of tho debt is about as tavorable as it would be possible to inake It, ond that Congress can find no exduse for meddling with it or disturbing the country by any finanelal legisintion of any kind dur- ing niany yenrs to come, paneer CONSTITUTIONAL “INABILITY.” The wide divergence Gf opinion as to what constitutes *tnubliity” of tha President, ag construed by different persons who enjoy, reputations ag constitutional lawyers, only serves to Increase the doubt and confusion which becloud the auestion, For Instance, Gov. Palner says. he has no doubt “that the dutles of the Ptesid ent have dlrendy, under the Constitution, devolved upon the Vie Drésidoit.” Pér'contra, Judge Trumbull ts equally positive in asserting that “as Jong as the Prestdunt’s mental faculties are unlit palred there is clearly no Inability to perform tho duttes of the oMee,” Mr. Robeson, of Now Jersey, who gained n National fame as a constitution! lawyer during the debates of the fast Congress, maintalns that the Vice. President must determine for himself wlien tho duties of the Presidential oftica devalto upon him under the Constitution, On the other hand, Judge Jameson, of this city, who Is the author of n standard work on the framing of constitutions, declares that such seonstruction would bo dangerous hr the extreme, and that Congress onght to be suin- moned at once to pass a law which wll nect tho case. 7 Out of a mass of conflicting opinfons It can only be coneluted that the omergeney re quiring the Vice-President to discharge the duties of the Presidential office has not been sulliciently covered “by Inw or precedent, «If it lad been the practice to call upon the Vico-Presitent during the temporary ab- sence of the President from the seat of Goy- ernment, or during the latter's ines, and egually the practice for the President to re- sume hid funetions tipon his return or iiis re- covery, then it is not unlikely that Vice- Prealdent Arthur would have been Installed as Acting President during President Gar- fiel’s prostration. ‘It 1s possible that the framers of tha Constitution contemplated just such a proceeding, ItIs true that a sim Har practice has prevailed without Injury to the pubile Interests in the State Governments.

Of course tha object of the Government in hiring Capt. Eads was to wet a channel. It cared nothing for deep water in siots, Nut Capt, Rads ts shrowd enough and unscrupulous enough to take advantage of the techuleality in his favor; and though he has made a channel of prob- ably not mora than twenty-two feet, and that partly by dredging, heis drawing pay for thirty fect through the jetties, which for all preetical purposes might as well be ten miles out In the Gulf, Docrons so seldom agree that the public Is always propared for tho savage assaults whieh thoy are voutinually maklog ou each other, Dr, Bilss, however, seeing to be pocularty unfortun> ato in baying incurred the dislike of other membors of his profession, Tho Mlichtyan Medt- cal News, publiahod ut Detrojt, sayas There isone Dr. D.
