Hon. Warner Miller, who lias been
elected United States Senator for the
term ending in March 1887, to succeed
Thomas C Piatt, was horn in Oswego
county, N. Y., August 12, 1838, aud
graduated ut Union college in 1860.
After leaving college he began teach
ing in the Fort Edward eollegiute in
stitue, but when the war broke out he
enlisted as a private in the Fifth New
Yourk cavalry. He served In the
Shenandoah valley with distinction,
and was promoted to be sergeant
major and lieutenant. At the buttle
of Winchester he was taken prisoner
and remained in captivity till the close
of the war. Mr. Miller then made a
trip to Europe, but soon returned and
established himself in the paper man
ufacturing business in Herkimer
county, and a few years ago he erected
a mill at Lyousdale. Lewis county, for
the manufacture of pulp and paper.
Mr. Miller made his first appearance
In public life in 1873, when he was
elected to the Assembly us a Republi
can from Herkimer county. He was
re-elected in 1874. During his two
years in the Aasenibly he was uu in

Lessoiu of the Crime.
The Philadelphia Evening Newt
very clearly and forcibly argues that
the murderous assault on the life of
President Garfield suggests a number
of considerations:
I. It grew out of a mania, which
results from certain false public teach
ings. It is but recently that the idea
of remedying funded wrongs by kill
ing the head of the state became pop
ular. It Is a feature of Communism,
or Nihilism. We have in New York
a flinall but vicious nest of French
Communists; and In Chicago their
power and boldness are very consid
erable. They are not Republicans,
but are antagonistic to our form of
government, though in a less degree
than to the monarchies of Europe.
They desire u Utopia a system which
will despoil the rich for the poor, and
allow the widest individual license
without the restraint of government.
Their instincts are criminal. They
Infuse their violent spirit Into weak
brains, and these, half crazed, plan
ussussinutious. To remedy the evil It
should be struck ut its root. To do
this is toussuil the communist orgnni
nations, And this in turn requires
laws such as hitherto we have
not desired to have enacted. Our aim,
as a nation, has been to give the least
possible attention to mere agitators
and control theiu by ttie better sense
of the surrounding musses rather than
by legal compulsion. But the que
lion now arises whether the present
outbreak does not teach the necessity
of going to the limit of striking at the
root of this evil ?
II. Congress should enact a law
making a murderous assault on the
President of the United States a eapi
till offense, whether it is entirely suc
cessful or not. In tne present ease if
the President should not die his as
sailant cannot be hung. Yet there is
a very clear distinction between the
President and a private citizen. He
is the head of the state. His life has
a peculiar value to the nation. It is
of more importance to the nation than
the life of a citizen in private station.
There can arise motives for taking his
life which pertuin entirely to his pub
lic character. Lincoln was murdered
becuuse he represented the conquer
ing element of the nation iu the war
of rebellion. The attempt on Gar
field's life is attributed to certain
views of public policy which differed
from those of hfs assailant. In both
cases public and not personal reasons
accounted for the murderous deeds.
Hence these should be punished by
death, whether the criminal succeeds
or not. Nothing less rigid will an
swer. The foolish humanitarianism.
taught by Greeley, aud which would
let all great criminals go unpunished,
should be cast aside. Calm, inflexible.
certain justice is needed; and congress
should embody it in a law fixing the
penalty of death for assaults on the
Presideut's life.
III. The person of the President
should be guarded. To whut extent
this should go or what form it should
take will require careful thought.
Ostentatious display, such as is the
case in Europe, would be oflVnsive.
The trappings of monarchy are not
congenial to the people. But in some
effective form, however simple, the
personal safety of the President should
be secured so far as human precautions
will do it.
IV. There should be a careful dis
crimination mude between this at
tempt at assassination and an assuult
on the republic. It does not neces
sarily follow that such attempts en
danger the safety of the government
True, assassination tends to anarchy,
and this is a dunger to the republic.
But so long as our people retain their
purity the. republic will stand. The
Roman republic fell through the assas
sination of Ciesur. He was killed,
professedly, to save the republic.
Brutus and his associates were pro
fessedly pure and lofty patriots, aud
Ciesar endangered Roman liberty. So
John. Wilkes Booth shouted e temper
(yrannit vUen he shot Lincoln. Yet
the Roman republic virtually died
with Ca?sar. But the reason was that
there was not enough public spirit to
punish the perpetrators of crime.
The murderers of Cassar, red-handed
with his blood, addressed the people
from the forum aud assumed to be
heroes and patriots for whut they hud
done. When this nation fulls into
such imbecility, and has not the
courage to arrest audi punish preten
tious demagogues, the republic is near
its end. But so long as courage and
virtue remain, the mere assassination
of a President, however lamentable
It may be, Mill not cause It to full.
There should be attention given to
our power to assimilate incoming for
eign population. Our Immigration
now is at the rate of half a million a
year. Fortunately it largely embraces
a better element than we thus received
in former years. Europe has emptied
systematically and purposely its crim
inal and pauper classes upon us. Of
late we have drawn largely on the bet
ter element of her populatiou. Bt.t
among it Is, very naturally, more or
less of the vicious. We have, then,
the work of assimilating all this. Is
it not au element of danger? Does
it not carry a lower order of Moral
teaching thau we prefer? Is It not In
danger of lowering the moral tone of
the nation ? These questions are se
rious, and sooner.oc later must be cure
fully considered.

The Assassin's Story.
GUITKAU'S OWN ACCOUNT OF THK AS
SAULT ON THK PRESIDENT.
Washington, July 14. Colonel
Corkhlll, District Atttoruey, has
furnished the following statement for
publication in order to correct certain
erroneous assertions which have been
made relative to Guiteau, the would
be nssasin of President Garfield:
"The Interest felt by the public In
the details of the assassination and
the stories published justify me In
stating that the following Is a cor
rect and accurate statement concern
ing the points to which reference Is
made: Theusttassin, Charles Guiteau,
came to Washington City on Sunday
evening, March 0, 1881, and stopped
at the Ebbitt House, remaining only
one day. He then secured a room In
another part of the city aud has
boarded and roomed at various places,
the full details of which I have On
Wednesday, May 18, 1881,the assassin
determined to murder the President.
He bad neither money nor pistol at
the time. About the last of May he
went Into O'Meura's store, corner of
Fifteenth and F street, in this citv.
aud examined some pistols, asking for
tne largest calmer. lie was shown
two similar in caliber and only differ
ent In the price.
HE PURCHASES THE PISTOL.
vn weanesuay, June , he pur
chased the pistol which he used, for
which lie paid $10, he having in the
meantime borrowed $1 of a gentle
man of this city ou the plea that he
wanted to pay his board bill. On the
same evening, about 7 o'clock, he took
the pistol aud went to the foot of
Seventeenth Street and practiced fir
ing at a board, firing ten shots. He
then returned to his boarding-place
and wiped the pistol ury and wrapped
it in Ins cout una wuited his oppor
tunity. FOLLOWING THE PRESIDENT TO
CHURCH.
On Sunday morning, June 12, he
was sitting In Lialayette fane and saw
the President leave lor the Christian
church, on Vermont Avenue, and he
at once returned to Ids room, obtained
his pistol, put it in his hip-pocket, and
followed the President to church. He
entered the church, but found he could
not kill him there without danger of
killing some one else. He noticed
that the President sat near a window.
After church he made au examina
tion of the window and found lie
could rcaeli it without any trouble,
and that from this point he could
shoot the President through the head
without killing any one else. The
following Wednesday he went to the
church, examined the location and
the window, and became satisfied he
could accomplish his purpose, and he
determined, therefore, to make the at
tempt at the church the following
Sunday. He learned from the papers
that the President would leave the
city on Saturday, the 18th of June
with Mrs. Garfield, for Long Branch;
he therefore determined to meet him
at the depot. He left his boarding
place about 0 o'clock Saturday morn
ing, June 18, and went down to the
river at the foot of Seventeenth street
and fired five shots to practice his aim
aud be certain his pistol was in good
order. He then went to the depot
and was iu the ladies' waiting-room
of the depot with his pistol ready
when the Presidential party entered.
THE ASSASSIN'S HEART FAILS HIM.
He says Mrs. Garfield looked so
weak uni frail that he had not the
heart lo shoot the President in her
presence and, as lie knew he would
have another opportunity, he left the
depot. He had previously engaged a
carriage to take him to the jail. On
Wednesday evening the President und
his sou and I think, United States
Marshal Henry, went out for a ride.
The assassin took his pistol and fol
lowed them and watched them for
some time, in hopes the carriage
would stop, but no opportunity was
given. On Friday evening, July 1,
he was sitting on the seat in the park
opposite the White House, when he
saw Hie President come out alone, he
followed him down the avenue to
Fifteenth Street, and then kept ou the
opposite side of the street up Fifteenth
until the President entered the resi
dence of Secretary Blaine. He waited
at tlie corner of Mr. Morton's late
residence, corner of Fifteenth and H,
for some time, und then, ns he was
afraid he would attract attention, he
went into the alley in the rear of Mr.
Morton's residence, exuuiiued his pis
tol aud wuited. The President and
Secretary Blano came out together
and lie followed them over to the gate
of the White House, but could get no
opportunity to use his weapon.
THE SHOOTINO AT THE DEPOT.
On the morning of Saturday, July 2,
he breakfasted at the Riggs House
about 7 o'clock. He then walked up
into tiie Park and sat there for an
hour. He then took a one-horse av
enue car aud rode to Sixth street, got
out and went into the depot and loit
ered there, had his shoes blacked, en
gaged a hucknian for S- to take him
to the jail, went into the water closet
aud took his pistol out of bis hip
pocket and unwrapped the paper from
around it which he had put there for
the purpose of preventing the pers
piration from the body dampening
the powder, examined his pistol care
fully, tried the trigger and then re
turned aud took a seat in the ladies'
waiting-room, and as soon as the
President entered advanced behind
him aud fired two shots. These facts,
I think cun be relied upon as accurate
and I give them to the public to con

Fatal Fight With a Catamount.
(McKcan County Miner.)
On the 27th of June, Mr. L. JVaii

went into the woods t- watch a deer

some misfortune might have befallen
him. Arriving ut the lick a most hor

few feet apart was the dead und muu

a large catamount. It was evident
from the surrouudings that the strug

ground where the fatal encounter took
place was covered: with blood. The
animal was a very large one, measur

An Extraordinary ETcnt.
A JACKSON COUNTY, TENNESSEE,
WOMAN GIVES BIRTH TO SEVEN
CHILDREN.
A lew day since the Louisville
Courier-Journal contained a special
from its Nashville corespondent to the
effect that a Woman residing In Jack
son county, of that State, had given
birth to seven children at one time.
The correspondent since telegraphs
that after the first child was born the
pains of labor continued. An exam
ination convinced the physician that
there were two Instead of one, and the
woman was soou delivered of a second
child, both girls. The physician gave
directions us to the cure of both
mother und children and prepared to
take his leave.
Before reaching his house, at the
gate, he was recalled and delivered the
woman of another girl baby. Agaiu
the physician took his leave and again
was recalled, bringing to light another
girl. This was considered remarkable
and the physician was greatly pu.zled
over the matter. He, however, con
gratulated the husband on his good
fortune and depurted for home. He
had not gone more than half a mile
before he was overtaken by tiie ex
cited husband of the woman, who Iu
breathless haste informed him that
there was still another child to be
horn. Hastening back, the physician
arrived in time to aid in tlelivcring
the woman of her filth child.
Iu the course of fifteen or twenty
minutes he was called to the bedside
of the woman, and very soon the
sixth child was breathing the breath
of life, after which the doctor went
home. He was soon again summoned,
mounted his horse and returned to the
home of Mr. B. He went too late,
however, to lie of auy service, us the
seventh child, nil girls, was born a
few minutes previous to his arrival.
The doctor remained about the prem
ises during the rest of the day, but
his services were not again needed.
The gentleman who made the above
statement, and it is almost in his ex
act words, says he has seen the babies
several times, and, while not large,
weighing from four to five pounds
each, they appear to be healthy, well
developed children. The occurrence
has created considerable excitement in
the neighborhood, and the people for
miles around fiock to see the woman
and her babies. The husband is de
scribed us beini; of small stature, and
in fact, exceedingly thin, while the
wife is said to be strong and perfectly
healthy. The most singular feature
of the children is that all of them
have blue eyesj-nKso closely resemble
each other, that it is hard to tell
"which from t'other.

A Speech as Is a Speech.
(Philadelphia Press.)
Noble and elevated oratory is not so
common in this prosalo age, that we
cau afford to overlook so remarkable a
specimen of sublime eloquence ns that
which saluted the unimpressive Dem
ocratic Convention In Ohio. The
matchless orator presents a rare com
bination of talents and with his
dazzling gifts of speech unites the
most brilliant graces of the pen as
editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
He bears the romantic name of Mr.
James Edwin Spcer, but he found his
inspiration in tiie exalted place of
Temporary Chairman not to say In
the effervescent decoctions which are
commonly associated with tho loftiest
Democratic principles. Tom Moore
answered the conundrum, "Why is
a pump like Lord Castlereagh ?" by
picturing him as one that could
Coolly upout anil uponl mid spout nwny
In one week, washy, everlasting Hood.
But though Mr. James Edwin Spcer
is evidently one of those inexhaustible
fountains that cau "spout and spout
away," the stream which poured from
his mellifluous liiw on this occasion
was neither "weak nor "everlasting."
On the contrary, it hud the great
merit of epigrammatic brevity. It
opened with the sententious declara
tion that "the Democracy of Ohio are
once more gathered together to pay
their annual vows.'' Just what their
'animal vows" are and precisely
whom they arc to bo paid to Mr. James
Edwin Spcer did not stop to elucidate,
und the Democracy of Oiiio must
have been left in a painful state of
perplexity. "We are making another
circle,'' the orator proceeded, "in the
years of the oak." If ho had said
hickory instead of ouk, the mighty
Democracy might have supposed that
it was a subtle und recondite allusion
to tho heroic Andrew Jackson, and
their exuberant enthusiasm would
have known no bounds. As it was,
they must have been somewhat
mystified by a reference which to
most of them was doubtless as obscure
as it was beautiful. Sterne's solitary
prisoner notched the days of his cap
tivity on a stick as the tally of his
misery; and if Mr. James Edwin
Speer hud remarked that the Democ
racy would make another notch in the
yearly record of their defeat, his audi
ence might have understood him.
"We are met," he continued, "to add
one more leaf to the perennial laurel."
This sudden transition from making a
circle of oak to adding a leaf of iuurel
indicated tho rare attainments of the
orator iu the culture of trees, und we
only wonder that he did not suggest
th funeral cypress and the weeping
willow as more appropriate to the con
dition of the Democracy.
But the chaste and elegant al
lusions aud metaphors of Mr. James
Edwin Speer were not yet by auy
means exhausted. Every new sentence
brought a new comparison. "We are
assembled," said the versatile genius
which ranged from arboriculture to
Scripture, "to thanit God and take
couruge, like Paul at the Tiiree
Taverns." His Democratic audience
may not have comprehended who Paul
was, but the suggestion of tiie prox
imity of three taverns with all that
it implied must have filled their
thirsty souls with delight. The only
trouble Is that put a Democratic Con
vention any where near three taverns
and it will not take courage but some
thing with a stick in it. No sooner,
however, hud the orator whetted their
appetites with this inspiring assurance
than lie suddenly dashed all their
hopes. "Though years In the wilder
ness," he proceeded, "the true Democ
racy, like the children of Israel, find
water in the rocks and manna on the
ground." Imagine the effect upon
a Democratic Convention of being
summarily dropped from the cheering
promise of three taverns to the hard
necessity of traveling in the wilder
ness and being compelled to find
water in the rocks ! If the highest art
of the orator is to pluy upon the feel
of his auditors, then indeed was this
consummate eloquence! And while
the saddened Convention was deplor
ing the melancholy transition from the
three taverns to the water iu the
rocks it was treated to another and
still more dismal potation. "When
Socrates, the sublime, bare-footed
Democrat," continued the orator,
"proclaimed the doctrine that the
King was no greuter than his subject,
Athens gave him hemlock, but the
doctrine lived." It was bad enough
to fall from three taverns to water In
the rocks ; but bow Immeasurably
worse to sink from water in the rocks
to cold pisen ! It is true that Socrates
didn't recive the hemlock for any
such doctrine, but a little matter of
historical inaccuracy does not affect
the beauty of the oratory. The deli
cacy with which the connection be
tween the bare foot of Socrates and
unwashed Democracy is suggested is
one of the finest touches of the mas
terly oration.
We deeply regret that limited spuce
will not permit us to follow this great
speech to the end. In variety and
splendor of metaphor it is unsurpassed.
Junius wrote to Sir William Draper
that "masks, hatchets and vipers
danced through his letters in all the
mazes of metaphorical confusion."
But the plain quadrille of Sir William
Draper was nothing compared with
the giddy waltz of Sir James Edwin
Speer. Here we have annual vows,
circles- of ouk, leaves of laurel, three
taverns, years Ut the wilderness,
water in the rocks, Paul, Socrates,
hemlock aud various other elements
all ohassezing in all the mazes of met
phorical profusion. It Is emphati
cally a speech as is a speech.
