Eseentive, and that the chanue woul be the restoration of some of thy most offensive administrative abuses which Gen, Garflelt had been elected to dls: continue, aud on which he had already placed the stamp of condemnation. ‘Tho country hag learned to think better of Mr, Arthur, Pounding the recent calamity, he passed un der the careful serutiny of the country, and passed it with such honor as to lupress the world with lus chivalry, his tenderness, and his truth = The country has searehed hls Mstory, and thes fit hin to be aman of abillly and possessed of that independence fitting na uian called to his present high oflico, Instead of being the dependent or the agent of any man, Gen. Arthur enters the ofice as free from all pers sonal influenees and controf.as any man ever elected President. Instead of being the de- pendent of Mr. Conkling, he ig as free of alt obligations-to that gentleman as he is to nny other, Ie owes Mr. Conitiing noth- ing. He was not nominated by Conkling, but In detianee of Conkiing’s protest. When urged to withdraw from the ticket, that It might be defeated in New York, he refuse, avowing hls purpose of reversing the Con! Ing policy In 1876 by Inboring to secure the vote of New York, Ho owed his eleetfon tn no sense to Conkling. ‘The obligation, if any oxist, is upon the othor side, Nor does tho country now believe that Mr, Conkling, if able, would exercise the pqwer of overturn- ing the Garfield policy of government nud go- ing back tu the ohl thoury of personal govern- ment, With its wrangles and quarrels over the distribution of patrounge asa matter of re- wards and punishment, Mr. Conkling ean- not fall to haye discovered the temper of thé an people, nor their admiration for the late resident, who in his brief term of ollelal Ife had silenced partisanship ond given the country a pulitieal peaca to which: Itnad long beens stranger. Bold, defiant, and unserupulaug, indeed, must be the man who will venture to destroy this peace and unity, who will revive old hostilty and fne- tions, and in disturbing tho harmony of the Republican party give the country over once more fo the Intrigues of desperate and reck- lesa oflleeseokers and spoilsmen.

Lor on that wasted, searred fuce there are such marks of sufferiig ag to nppall the stoutest heart, What a contrast Is presented by the splen- dor of power, the Justre of glory, the pomp and clrenmutance of high offeial station, the Justinuss of physteal health, the quick activi- thes of sontient, intellectual Ife, and "the dull cold car of death,” the awful dumb show at the grave—tha shrunken form, the glazed vy, the ghastly features, the nerve: Jess, pallid land lying istlesly on tho pulsé- less breast, the narrow collin homo, and the sllence of deuspatr which hus usurped the place of breezy, bustiiug hopa. It was but yesterday that Gartleld’s faintly whispered word of courage Went round the world wu cheered all maukind ay ft speeded on its way. But the next word came from the sur Keuns, und it was death; and that word death, as It trembled aud flushed along the whres, couvulsed miiligns upon iitiions gf hearts with anguish, But yesterday the people hung fondly upon Garfleld’s dreams, As ho moaned in his sleep, “The great heart of tho Natlon will uot let the old soldler dic,” they selzed tho hopeful phrase and made It the loving refrain of thelr prayers, Wut the Brent, tonder soul will dream no more. ‘There under the dome of tho Capitol ho sleeps 0 dreautess sleep, ‘Tho shadows of nizht deepen about the Dier, ane the Hghts flare up and ad a new ghuastlinesy to the scene, ‘The guards wateh, and the throng, with> mufiled tread and awek-beating hearts and tenr-statned eyes, file slowly past and look upon the, still, white face of ‘the Nation's dead—oll men with white halr and trem- Ullng Hinbs; young men flushed with tho glow of health as Garfield was on that fatal July morning; women sorrowing for the dead Presklent, and grieving for lis bereaved. mother far away, and his broken-hearted wife so near and yet so helpless; little ehil- dren bowed down by the general grief, they know not why—all those thousands form a guard of reverent love, an ever-changing, over-renewing guard, about the remains of the great dead, Svon the poor bruised body of the dend Presidont will mako its last fourney—the journey to its long home. And all tho weary way the people will form a guard of honor about it, At every station thousands will assemble, and with heads uncovered and reverently bowed silently stand and wait to pay the Inst tribute of respect to the poor re- mals of ha whum they trusted and loved with n devotion so rare as to form an epoch in the history not only of this country, but ofthe world. Anton tho day of the final obseqitics there is not a corner of tho land where tears will not be shed in memory of Garfield. In that funeral the whole peopte will take part; high and low, rich and poor, will assemble in thousands of churches ant celebrate a solemn burial service in memory of the public and private virtues and the ernel sufferings of the second martyr-Presl- dent—one of the greatest and best of men.

The convention assembled under the gloom of a great National bereave- ament, but the presence of a common sorrow did not prevent the Intelligent aud patriotic Republicans who composed It from thor oughly ‘discharging the fmportant duty which find called them together. ‘The State Is rellably and radically Republican, and a nomination by that party is regarded as equivalent to an electlon; hence the multi- plicity of candidates that put in an appear. ance for all the oftices from Governor down to Insurance Commissioner, The princi- pal Interest centered, of course, in tho nomination of o candidate for Goy- ernor, and ong of the embareassinents that confronted the convention on tho start was to make a choices from among the many ambitious aspirants whose frlends wero pressing their claims for promotion to the head of the Ueket. The choice fiually fell upon Gen, derominh M.

We think ft safe to say that the Government generally and in detail, will continue under the new President just as Jt-had so ou- spiclously begun under the lite President. —— ONE DAY'S RECORD OF CRIME, ‘The criminal nowsof yesterday was remark- able for its amount and variety. ‘Lhe local columns of ‘Tue 'Tamusxu reported the sud- den reappearance of U, N, Watls, of Paris, IL, who las been missing for tawe months, and had a harrowing tale to tell of hts al ventures; also the carious confession of the wift-murderer Stern. ‘ho telegraphic dis- patehes gave sume account of the trial of Dr, Cream at Belvidere for a singular mur- ders a erazy attempt to murder new Anoka, Minn; the murder of « young wife and her mother by an fufuriated husband near Schuyler, Neb, ; und the shooting of the May- or of Kokomo, who was canght in the act of stealing, by a Sherlit’s posse, ® ‘Tho narrative of Mr. Walls will be taken with a Mberal allowanco of salt, He Is an editor at Paris, WL, and has tralned hits luxe uriant liagination in the exerelse of rural journailsm. . He enme to Chieago July 20, and then had J his possession $1,150, which. he Intonded to use in tho purchuse of presses and printing material. duly “3 ho mysterl- ously disappeared, and was not again heard from until Wednesday, Sept. 21, when he walked into a Chleago hotel nud asked for a room, Mis story is that ho was’ overcome by heat at the delving-park when the raves were going ony that ho was eared for by two stratigers, who probably robbed him; that in a sculte, the clreumsiances of which he does not remember, lie was severe ly stabbed; that) for weeks he was In bed and received surgleal attention and careful nurshayg In a strange house, at the hands of strangora; that he did not re- member who ho waa, or what had happened. to him, until he found hiwselt at tho hotel; that he ls naw totally unable to say who the porsons wore that carried him away from the. driving-park, or to describe them in any way, though ho furnishes a minitte duserip- tlon of the twvo men who took im thore, Mr. Walis' narrative 1g not fully credited. ‘Lwo suspicious clreumstances are that lis etoth- ing, which wag the same when ho returned as when he wis lost sight of, had not been stalned by bload, and iat is complexion was bronzed ns if by exposure, and showed no traces of recent.
