Sitice the election of two Senators from
New York, political matters have heen
rxceidiugly qvtlet. This qulcttulo is not
the result of harmony In tie parly, or of
opsthy on tho part of the defeated
fiction. It la attributed to tho Presi
dent's critical condition, which com
pletely clogs the political machinery.
A great many enthnaiastlc Rt publicans
.am concratuUtinc themselves that all the
trouble U over, and that henceforth,
nothing hut the utmost harmony will
prevail. In this this they are sadly mis
taken. The powerful Anti-Administra
tion faction has been temporarily-defeated,
but they aro not dismayed. Power
ful fu numbers and skillfully officered,
they vill yet have ample opportunity to
prove to their opponents that it would
have been better to have made conces
sions, than to have driven them into ft
right which can only end in the political
annihilation of nil concerned.
In every State Convention that shall
ho held in the Heir future, this bitter an
tagonism will show itself and provent
that unity of sentiment and action, with-
out wnicu me great, ouuauu wiiu&e uup
port the Administration rely, cuunot be
kept in thofold. It will bo a desperate
ll,!ht. No quarter will be asked and not
nu jnch of ground will bo given up with
out a desperate struggle. Had Mr.
iJl.iiuo seen fit to hold forth the olive
branch, n bargain might have been made
mid. certain disaster have bben prevented.
Jut he did not and nothing was further
from hit thoughts.' He could not enrb
his desire for vtngennceon men who bnd
twice defeated his rrtsidential aspira
tions, nnd though the party might buffer
in the end. the vindictive Secretary of
State most have his revenge. lie has
had it, but it eeema as if its enjoyment
will be very brief.
Conkllag notwithstanding his imper:-
ousnes3, h a power in bis party, ma
folloning outside of his own State is im
mense. He knows his strength and re
alizing that the affronts put upon him
were not the deliberate verdict of the
people, but the result of the rankest brib
.ery and grossest corruption on the part
of tho Administration, he will not rest
easy uutil he has nnniasked the men who
4i re potting in the role of reformers.
Too light will be begun anew and with
greater vigor in the New York State Re
publican Conventon, and its-effect will
lie felt all along the line, from the At
luutio to the Puciflo and from the lake to
the Oulf. It has been the iuvariabla cus
tom of the party for many years, to adopt
strong resolutions at its State Conven
tions in favor of the National Adminis
tration. This was the course pursued
during the Administrations of Mr. Lin
coln and Gen. Grant and to omit to do
this now, would be considered a down
right insult to the present Government.
This nuestion will have to be consider d
this fall. The two factions may be able
to compromise their differences and se
lect a ticket to be voted for at the ensu
ing election, but the subject of com
.mending the Garfield Administration
will cause a hitter fight. Mr. Conkling
has reasons for being spurred to great ac
tivity and that he will make unusual
efforts to strike down his enemies and
maintain his standinc in the nartv ho
' has so cheerfully led for ten years there
can he no doubt. In the meantime
the Dunccrutio party remains firm and
united. All discordant elements have
been eliminated and it will enter the :nll
contests, with greater strength, numerical
ly and morally, and better chances of
success than it has ever had.
against the doctor by the patient. On
the trial it was not claimed that tho phy
sician had represented bis assistant to
be a doctor, nor that either husband or
wife had objected to his presence. In
fact, both had consented. No lact of
professional skill on the part of the doc
tor nor misbehavior on the part of his
assistant was charged. Tho simple com
plaint was that the physician had
brought to his aid, without disclosing
his character, one who was not n profes
sional man. The jury gave the plaintiff
a verdict and the case was appealed to
tbe Supreme Court to test the question
of the physician's liability. The judg
ment for damages was promptly affirm
ed by that tribunal, which declared that
"It would bo shocking to our sense
of right, justice and propriety to doubt
even that for snch an act the law would
afford an ample remedy. To the plain
tiff the occasion was n most sacred one,
and no one had ft right to intrude unless
invited or because of some real and
pressing necessity, which it is not pre
tended existed in this case,"

It is reported from Peoria, Illinois, that
P. W. Crowe, whose name has been men
tioned in connection with tho manufacture
of Infernal machines for shipment In ocean
steamships, has acknowledged to an inter
viewer his complicity in the diabolical busi
ness. Ho is reported as saying that, at a
meeting of the Executive Committee of the
United Irishmen in New York last year,the
expediency of purchasing the Ilolgate tor
pedo boatfto "devastate the shores cf Eng
land," was discussed; "but they decided
that it would be too exensive,and that they
could better work by depositing torpedoes in
British ships, which could bo done for $25
apiece, and which would bring England to
terms by making it dangerous ior people to
go abroad in British vessels." He is also
reported as saying that "these infernal ma
chines aro being made in every city in
which there is a branch of the Order."

was a physician by profession, but early in
life became active in politics, and was elect
ed a State Senator. In 1SC3 he was chosen
Governor to succeed Cannon, deceased, was
re elected and held the executive office un
til 1870. In 1871 be was a candidate for U.
S. Senator, but was defeated by his brother
Eli. He was a dclegato to tbe last two Dem

Saulsbury was prominent in the Metho

the Trustees of the Wilmington Conference.
He was also a delegate of the Methodist

Washington, D. C, July 30, 1881,
Tho information from tho President to
day is cheering indeed. Heslept all through
last night with the exception of a single
brief interval, and the beneficent effects of
this refreshing net, just at this time, could
scarcely be overestimated. He is apparent
ly on tbe road to convalescence, onco more.
The surgeons believe now that the worst Is
passed. Since yesterday forenoon the Pres
ident has continued to improve, and last
night bo expressed himself as feeling better
than bo hud for several days. There is ev
ery reason now to hopo for his recovery. So
favorable was the change in tho President's
condition, It was agreed by tho physicians
this morning to give the sick room a tho
rough airing and cleansing. He was moved
from tho room on the south front (where ha
has heen since tho day of the shooting) to
tho large room at the extremo western cor
ner of the north front, known as the "Guest
Room." The apartment is large and airy,
with windows looking out upon the new
Slate Department building, to tbe west, and
the beautiful park on the north. The mov
ing was attended without difficulty, the
sick bed being easily rolled from one room
to the other. It is the same room occupied
by Mrs. Garfield during her recent illness.
The change being made In order to purify
the old room, the carpet wss taken up, the
room swept clean and purified by a large
fire in the open crate, which was burned
for an hour. In the meantlmo the Presi
dent ale regularly and slept well at inter
vals, and when awake was quite cheerful.
His room was In complete order at a late
hour this afternoon, but he was resting so
comfortably that It was deemed best not to
move him at that time. The carpet was re
placed by strips being placed in the more
frequented parte of the room, and clean lace
curtains bad been bung in the windows,
All the physicians aro quite jolly to-day,
Unless some unforseen accident occurs, they
aro now ,'qulle confident nf his recovery.
Drs. Hamilton and Reyburn remained in
charge of tho patient all tho forenoon. The
outer edge of tbe wound, above the incision,
shows signs of healing, ami pus has been
discharged oil day. Dr. Hamilton will re
main with the President until to-morrow,
and will leave for New York In the after
noon, when relieved by Dr. Agnew. Dr.
Hamilton telegraphed to a friend this after
noon that tbe President wes looking better
than at any previous lime.
Tbe question of Homestead Entry, hav
ing been referred to him by the Interior
Department, Attorney Genoral Mao Veagh

of public lands has been made by a settler,
the land so entered, cannot, whilst eucb en
try stands, be set apart by the President for
a military reservation, even "prior the com
pletion of full title In the settler," but that
where a pre-emption filing has been made
of public lands, the land covered thereby
my be set apart by the President for such
reservation at any time previous to the pay

rROU OUR RIOUI.iR COBRESrONOKXT.
Washington, Aug. 1, 1881
The old saying that "Uncle Sam is rich
enough to buy us all a farm" is almost liter
ally true. While we hear of poverty every
where, and see it all around us, there is lots
of money In the Nstlonat cash box. Few
people know what a large amount of money
passes through tbe United Stales Treasury
in tbo course of a year. Th'o general idea is
that the Government is made of money, or,
rather, can make just as much of that com
modity as happens to be wanted ; which is
practically, thoueh not exactly true. To
reduce these generalizations to figures i
may be slated that the total revenues of tli
Government amount to somethlngover'lbree
hundred millions of dollars per year, or
nearly a million a day. That does not
sound so large, after all, in a country where
we rate private fortunes by the million aud
daily talk of enterprises involving millions
In tbelroperatIons,yettoeltdowaand think
of it calmly and collectedly a million dol
lars Is a very large sum, and three hundred
times as much goes almost beyond full com
prebention.
Let any young person who fails to realize
tbe magnitude of Uncle Sam't income un
dertake to count 300,000,000 blocks of wood
orsheettof paper. It would need to be
very young person and a yery smart one to
finish tbe job in this life. Counting 10,000
per day only a little over 3,000,000 could
be counted in a year, if we except Sundays,
and nearly one hundred years would be re
quired to couut the entire number. Tbeold
gentleman with a scythe would be along be
fore any one now living could accomplish
the feat. Yet every dollar of this lajge rev
enue it handled oyer several times by the
Government through its employees end of
ficials, and under a perfect system of checks,
balances and counter balances every penny
of it is strictly accounted for. Of course not
half or a quarter of the whole amount I;
ever on hand at one time. It comet in and
goes out constantly, but there are always
very Urge sumt In the vaults and strong
boxes. In a future article some account of
tbe sources whence this enormous revenue
is derived, and the manner In which It
expended, will be given, but it it the pur
pose of this letter to explain how the money
bagt are bsndled and guarded at tbe Treas
ury, It isn't everybody that knows where
tbe money is or how it it kept safe from fire,
moth and tbievet especially thieves. Your
correKndent knows all about ft and could
go Into tbe yault any day and help himself
to as much as be liked, But he is too hon
est; and besides he it wealthy. Newspaper
men generally are.
That large man of stoue aud mortar
known as the Treasury building Is a solid
Institution. It la not is handsome as some
of the other Government buildings, but it
came to stay. Located In different parts of
the structure are various vaults of such .mas
sive construction that they may softly be
said to defy all attacks of those who would
break through and steal. The five princi
pal vaults are connected with tbe Treasur
er's office, for the cuntetls ol which he is re
sponsible. They are known as trio cash
vault, the reserve vault, tbe silver vault, the
redemption vault, and tho National bank
vault. The cash vault Is used more tbsn all
the others combined In the dally transaction
of business, and presents more interesting
features. It is constructed on the most ap
proved modern principles, and is, strictly
speaking, an Iron-bound apartment lined
with gold and silver, Tbe walls, floor and
celling are of chilled iron, built in sections.
The so walls aro over a foot thick, tbe space
between the Inner aud outer plates of iron
being filled with heavy Iron balls, forming
a compact mass tberemovsl of which would
require much time, skill and labor. Tbe
operation of removal would also be attended
with much noise and danger to the work
men Thero It only one entrance to the
vault i through an Iron door, which is only
reached by passing through the cashier's
room, then through a high iron railing al
ways kept locked, snd afterwards through
the cash room with another iron railing.
After tbe outer door of the vault it passed
there aro '.wo iunner doors of chilled iron
and secured by two combination locks on
each door. In addition to this the outer
door has a "time" lock, whichs preclude all
possibility of access until the hour set for
opening has arrived. Upon an examination
of all theso guards and surroundings one
must conclude that it la indeed easier for a
camel to go through the eye of a needle than
for a wayfaring man to break in here and
steal from his Uncle Samuel.
Yet with all this the Government does
not rely upon mechanical appliances entire
ly for the safety of its ready cash. There
are sixty watchmen provided by law for the
Treasury building, at a salary of $720 per
annum each. They aro uniformed in blue
suits and have powers of arrest in case of
necessity. The force is divided into three
reliefs, serving eight hours each, so that
there are watchmen en duly every hour of
the twenty-four, all lully armed and pre
pared for any emergency. These men are
supposed to patrol the halls and each salute
his neighbor overy half hour. At night tbe
corridors are lighted, not brightly, but suf
ficiently to enable the watchmen to seo each
other or to distinguish a strange presence.
Many amusing stories are told of bow the
witch men get caught sleeping at their posts.
Not long ago one was taken In tbe midst of
bis direliction In this respect. He was a
German and slept rather loud. His snoring
could be heard a long distance in tbe silent
hoing balls, but he was always wide
awake when any one approached. It was
known he slept; but the trouble wss to catch
him at it. Finally one of the lieutenants
laid In wait and removing his shoes, crept
up and caught him by the nose just as his
nap bad begun. But tbo alert watchman
took in the situation al at once and forestall
ed his superior by the tantalizing remark :
Well, I thought I could fool you." The
man escaped this time, but was finally
caught and dismissed. He took his discharge
yery good-naturedly,and argued that u sleep
which cost him sixty dollars was very ex
pensive and much abovo the regular hotel
rates.
There' has never been a raid ufxn the
Treasury, except by the ofllco-eeekcrs and
official rings, but tbe authorities were a lit
tle nervous at tbe time of the labor riots
here in 1877, when the notorious Cohen and
is gang were parading the streets, armed
nd vociferating against everything that
represented money. The clerks in the dif
ferent offices were armed with large revol
vers and formed Into squads, with the chief
of each Bureau as the commanding officer,
hit army of clerks was to act in concert
with the force of watchmen who were urged
lo extra vigilance and precaution. Tbe ar
rangement was that if tbe mob should at
tack the building at night, a certain signal
would be struck on the fire alarm bells, up
on hearing which tbe tquads of clerks were
to assemble under arms In LaFayetle Square
and inarch to the assistance of the force on
the inside. There were five hundred Gov
ernment pistols distributed among tbe clerks'
so it will be seen that tbe authorities were
really alarmed. The uprising did not
amont to much, however, and was soon sup
pressed by the local authorities. One or two
battles with the police took all tbe courage
and desperation out of the mob. The Trea
sury remained unmolested, and the valiant
department clerks did not have an oppr.r-
tunity of distinguishing themselves on the
field of battle.
This romance will be "continued in our
next." The remaining chapters will com
prise the most interesting portion as tbey
will pertain to thst which is inside the vault
that over which all these safeguards are
set.
