Since the murderous assault upon Pretiident Garfield, the people of the conctry have directed atten lion to the cause of the assault and find that inordinate lust for office is at the bottom of it alL The chronic office-seekers will have mt little chance of re-election for years to come. They will be voted 'luwn, and a demand will be made upon such as are elected that they do not appoint unworthy hacks that are constantly applying for position. The Democracy hare felt the impulse of the new movement, and many of then people have come forward and en couraged the wholesome sentiment that has asserted itself as against the t'ork of the vicious men in office, and the vicious men scrambling to get into office. The Democracy are to be congratulated on their proper course. In poiat of fact they are as much interested in the perpetuity of the Republic as any other people. There is, however, one drawback to the approval of their leaders. If they had not supplemented it with suggestions as to who should bo the new officers that should be selected, or if tiicy had expressed a preference for men v.-itb. different political views, they could have been met with the com pletest satisfaction. They come for ward and suggest such men as Jere miah lM.u k and others of the same political class for the officers. There can lie no objection to the manhood of Mr. Black, but his politics, or his views as to the organization of soci ety, is not in accord with the organ ization of society of the Northern system that overthrew the South ern system of society and state. Mr. Black's opinions ns to the right of the national government to put down rebellion may le found in his deliverance of advice to Presi dent Buclmnnan. To put Mr. Black on the Supreme bench, where he could tincture decisions in accord ance with his opinions of the uncon stitutionality of the manner in which rebellion was put down, would be wrong against the Northern cause that trinmphed in the civil war. Once it has been certainly demonstrated that free government cannot exist without ranuing into murderous li cense and destruction of property, it u-ill be time to set the old bhip of state on the backward track to a re turn to the old order of affairs. Men of Judge Black's school of jHilitics or statesmanship have lost faith in the good intentions, or ability of a large ercentage of the people to govern themselves, and it was that vcry thonjfht that shocked the nation when President Garfield was shot With a great deal of evidence in favor of the position of Judge Bhwk looking them steadily in the face the people of the country persist in it that they lire able to govern themselves, and they greatly perfer that the Supreme Court shiill be filled with citizens whose opinions will all be given from ft standpoint or state basis such as that upon whii-li rests the Korthern system of civilization. The case of the President was quite unfavorable last Monday morn ing. The reader understands that the bullet passed between the elev enth and , twelfth ribs inward aud downward. The doctors say that the cause of the unfavorable symptoms in the President s case on Monday morning was owing to the track of the bullet between the ribs growing shut, thereby preventing the pus from the lower parts of the wound flowing out The loctors resolved to perform an operation by cutting lelow the twelfth or lower rib, into the track of the bullet Tho proper place to cut to intersect the bullet track was indicated by tho introduc tion of a "slightly curved instrument between the ribs" downward along the track of the bullet lelow the rib. The instrument was pressed suffi ciently hard to show the further point 1V bulging the flesh lielow the rib. Dr. Agnew directed the knife to the point or bulge raised by the lower point of the instrument, and the op eration was satisfactory, in this that now the pus can flow out from the new opening below the rilis, and the wound above tho ribs can heaL For this operation ether was adminis tered to the rresulent. America is said to be the refuge for all people that are oppressed by state and church in other countries. But it is a forced const ructiou to de clare it to be a place of refuge for men who use bombs and infernal ma chines to explode among innocent people, under railroad trains, on ship board, nud in populous places, where many people are killed and wounded. It is uufortuuate enough when men that have been guilty of such things, come to this country, and settle down quietly : they are bad men at best ; but it is a great outrage when they come to this country and make it a headquarters, as it were, to carry on their fiendish work. There are a lot of writers engaged at an effort to. make it appear tbat General Grant is not much of a gen eral. The critics will pass away like the mist of the morning, and Grant will live in history as the general that broke up the military power of the boutliern Uoniedoracy. The critics may as well direct their atten tion ujign some other subject, for nothing that they can say or do can affect the military fame of General Grant The Canadian Post Office Depart ment, it is alleged, has many mail bags that belong to the United Slates Post Office Department in use. From pear an ce it cannot be said that Can adian authority received them through improper means. People in England are gradually gatheisng themselves into towns, to the depopulation of the country, and that is the beginning of the end. Chicago city authority have a num ber of doctors busily engaged vacci nating the people. ' A cold ppell of weather is predict ed: for this month. i Fitness for Office. Under tho heading of " The Prob lem of Patronage," the JVortk Ameri can of lust week says : Two members of the Cabinet tes tify that in nineteen-twentieths of the whole number of persons for whom positions ore solicited, reasons other than the fitness of the appli cants to discharge the duties of the offices constitute tire considerations urged in behalf of their appoint ment Now the reasons are personal friend ship or obligation, and again the mis fortunes and personal necessities of the applicants are set forth in the strongest terms. Congressmen are expected to pro vide places for such of their dis tressed or impecunious constituents as have been of service to themselves. The fitness of the person id seldom urged. He. is out of business, he is useful to the member, he has lost his prop erty. Now tins is all wrong, and the mem ber of Congress who has nothing better to do hod much better return his commission to the Governor and settle down in private life. The government is under no obli gation to support men who cannot or will not take care of themselves. The departments are not hospitals or training schools, that they should be weighted with the frauds and utter failures who go about crying that the world owes them a living. But it is not probable that the public has any definite idea of the sort of obliga tions which men who influence pat ronage sometimes acknowledge at the general expense. The public service is cursed with a limited but proportional number of persons who disgrace it by their dis sipations, low habits and systematic petty swindling. AYherever such a person is found in the civil service, he may be known by his habitual truculence, and his boasts of the privileges he enjoys. It is useless to trace the antece dents of such persons, for their con sequents include everything that cau be known about them. It mty be proper for the curious to look up their backers, who, when found, will turn out to be men who would very gladly remain unknown as the patrons of such clients, and the reason why they keep uch small swindlers in position are generally such as reflect credit upon nobody. The practice of fastening upon the service practice of fastening upon the service persons who are simply dis reputable bummers ; who order lib erally and pay for nothing; whose track is pursued by tradesmen of all sorts, and in whose wake there is a great deal of honest cursing on the part of their pursuers this practice is cumulative in its distempers. An overwhelming majority of men in public service are competent, faith ful and self-respecting, but the ad mixture of worthless and disreputa ble persons reflects upon the entire body. All suffer in public esteem because a vicious system of appointment gives a proportion of worthless members. Among so many some less deserving must of course be found. But if when found they are promptly re aioTeJ. the evil cau be redauwtl to its lowest terms. Let it be understood that no man who uses his position to gain credit beyond his resources, or who is dis sipated, or who neglects his business, or who lears a doubtful reputatior, can be tolerated in public employ, and much of the distemper com plained of will disappear. Come and Take Them. The man Hartmann, it is said, boasts of having papers signed by the set of men in Russia with whom he acted in blowing up railroad trains and so forth. If he has such cre dentials, it would be just the best kind of evidence, upon which to pro ceed to aiTest him and hand him over to the authority in the country where he has been murdering innocent peo ple. It is an offence against society generally to have such murderers in the country at large. They are no good to society. They make no effort to acquire projterty, and thus become tax payers and siipjiorters of society by helping to p-.iy for all of its re quirements, such as schools, roads, poor houses, court houses and courts : but they are the heads of conspira cies that burn houses and bants, that pl:u-e infernal machines under cars and in ships, thereby killing many people. If society should make up its mind to treat them as they treat society there would be an end of the cursed race in a day. They deceive ignorant and unsuspecting people, and win their half-way approval by talking of the oppression of kings and the oppression of monopolies. People that are thus beguiled do not realize that in the fiendish work as applied by the assassins, tho torch may devour their own property, and the infernal machine may blow them into atoms, while the assassin stands in the bftfk-ground and escapes. If society would tre&i t--e assassins and incendiaries as they treat society, a-1 infernal machine would be put under their abiding place or under the car or boat that they travel in, and they be blown out of existence. Society, however, never resorts to such pro cesses, never throws herself back on her reserved or natural rights until the regular processes of law have been tried, or until confidence in the processes of law has been destroyed. If Russia and Great Britain should, through tho processes of law, de mand that the railroad wreckers, and exploders of infernal machines, in cendiaries, and assassins that have fled to this country, be given np, there ought to be a hearty response, "Come and take them." Haktmaxn, the Nihilist, vvho glo ries in being one of the leading spirits that plotted the death of the late Czar, is- not a success in New York.

The barn was struck, by lightning and set on fire in her husband's absence. She saved the wagon and harness and then bent all of her energies to secure the frightened horses. One of them was considered a vicious horse, and as she approached he kicked at her. By adroit maneuvering she succeeded in getting his head unfastened and clutching his nostrils got the terri fied beast out of doors. She then went for the second one, which was equally terrified. By the time, how ever, that she had succeeded in res cuing this one, its mate had run around and re-entered the barn through a hole caused by the boards being torn off. She then grasped a pitchfork and went for him, amid the snapping and cracking of the flames. She was at lost successful, and through her efforts the horses, wagon and most of the harness were saved. The hardships that come with a cold winter make the Indian tracta ble, but when the summer comes with its easy living, the Indian grows saucy, impudent and full of light. Just now he is on the war path near- ly along the entire western border line. "Blood will tell," and that is the reason that an Indian can never be anything else than an Indian. If you have any sentiment to spare, de liver it at the moon, and you will never have it returned to plague you. If you shower it upon the Indian, it will be returned by Bed Skin raising your hair, if ne gets the chance to do so. Guiteau, the assassin, has handed a petition to District Attorney Cork- hill, praying for release from jail on bail in the sum of fifteen thousand dollars. He was quite glad to get to jail immediately after he shot the President ; he anticipated that the populace would hang him to a lamp post The safest place for the mar derer is in jaiL The probability is that if he succeeds in getting oat he will be hanged before he gets a square away from the jiiil, that is, if the community know of the time of Ins release. . Some one of the Palmer family in New England has been tracing out the descendants of the Palmers, and numbers them at about two thousand. The investigator of the Palmers has discovered that General Grant is re lated to that family. It would be a good little piece of political thunder for the Democratic journals now to begin to talk about the General giv ing his relatives an office, if he ever again becomes President of the Re public. The Democracy can talk a whole campaign about the Palmers mi office.

Sitting Bull. A western journalist, who was pres ent when Sitting Bull was brought in, writes: When Sitting Bull reached Bismarck he for the first time in his life looked upon a locomotive, and he asked to see it go. His request was complied with, and with a shake of the head he expressed his surprise and satisfaction, but could not be in duced to take a ride on it Sitting Bull is of medium height and solidly built The thinness of his lips and a few wrinkles on his face give him the appearance of looking older than 50 years, which Scout Allison pro nounces his correct age. To-day he was in the traditional blue blanket, sewed in the form of half-civilized pantaloons, with great gaping places at the proper place for the pockets, and when he walked often displayed a brawny leg. Over the blanket he simply wore what Was once a finely made and nicely-laundried white shirt, but which had become greasy and dirty from wear. The shoulders of the shirt sleeves had three long streaks of red war point, with which the chiefs neck, his entire face and the sculp at the parting of his hair was covered. His hair is jet black, and hangs in three braids below Lis shoulders, one at each side and one pendant from the back. . They ore braided from a circular port at the crown of his broad heath The two braids hanging over the shoulders were thickly wound with red flannel. The only ornaments worn were two brass rings, one each on the little and second finger of the left hand, and a lady's cheap bracelet of black gutta percha on the left Wrist This lack of ornament, in comparison with bis better-looking and more gaudily adorned chief advisers, is for the pur pose of impressing the sentimental white man with his poverty. His moccasins were of the most common pattern, dotted with a few beads here and there. While on the boat Sit ting Bull most of the time kept his eyes covered with a pair of large smoked glass goggles. He wrote his name in English on a cord and pre sented it to Mr. Batchelor. He writes easily, but in writing his name he simply copies it from the writing of another person. He introduced a remarkable-looking old Indian as his father. Before leaving Buford Sit ting Bull asked the officers to send messengers to the lodges be left be hind and ask them to come on and surrender. He pointed out four of his children, two twins being named "The War is Over."

Guiteau as a Lawyer. A CIRCULAR OF HIS, PROPOSRCG TO PUSH A 8WINDIJLSO CLAISL Under the above heading the New York Tribune of August 3rd, says : A lawyer of this city found yesterday among his papers the following curi ous circular, which illustrates the peculiar' methods followed by Guiteau when he was pretending to practice law: , - Law O-i-i OITcAts Attorney and Counsellor at Law, ? -No. 170 Broadway, Booms 7,- 9 and 9. I ' New Yoek, Oct. 1, 1872. Deak Sib : My client, James M. Bottum, of New York, says ha baa a claim for the "Infringement of a certain Improvement in securing Staffs and Pinions of Watches in Lathes," by the use of adhesive cement, for fcr the purpose of turning, drilling, polish ing, etc., agaiust parties in your place. The patent expired in July last, but Mr. Bottum is informed tbat thousands of jew elers, watchmakers, etc., in the United States, who have no right to do so, have been for years using and infringing npon his improvement. He has recently decided to prosecute them, and I have the claim for adjustment and collection. It has been proved in court that Mr. Bottum's invention saves the nser thereof from $50 to $ 125 per annum. He therefore claims that he is en titled to from $30 to $12-5 per year en every machine which has been illegally used, aud some large establishments ere Using several machines. It may require Care to ascertain who hare been infringing Bottum's patent. That be ing ascertained, there ought nut to be much difficulty in compelling the parties to settle. You ten show them a copy of the enclosed decree, biH of eourse yon wiH not tell them that the pateit has expired. Mr. Bottum claims for the infringement any time during the twenty -one years tbe patent was alive. The infringers yeneratly are auspicious of Bottum, as they kirow tbey have infringed his patent, and yoa wHl bare to use caution in procuring evidence against them. You may have to send some one into their shops to find out the kind of machines used. Ob tain yonr evidence and then make then set tle according to their ability, at the rate of $50 to $125 per annum on each machine. Thus, five years' nse of Bottum's improve ment, at $50 per year, amounts to $250 on each machine, or $125 per year if the party is rich, as many of tbe infringers are. Sr. Bottum insists tbat many of these infring ers bave grown rich ont of bis invention, and be now proposes to make them ''come down" to the full extent of his claim. So you- wtlf please go for them lively. Nearly every jeweler of standing in yonr city is probably an infringer of Bottum's patent. I will give you 20 per cent, to cover your fees and disbursements on all the claims yoa may collect. If a party de sires to settle without suit, you will please notify me at once and state the number of machines used and the time of infringe ment and the circumstances of the party and the amount he will pay cash down to settle. I am communicating with the prin cipal attorneys in the United States con cerning tbe infringement of this patent, which account for the form of this letter. I have your address from Hubbell's Legal Directory, and wish yoa to give this matter prompt attention, and report to me at your earliest convenience. I am, sir, yours very truly, CaAins J. G cite ac.

The Meadville Republican relates the following with regard to the fam ily troubles of Dan Rice, the show man : Dan Rice, the showman and clown, was in Erie the other day, drawn thither by au application for a divorce filed by his wife, Rebecca Rice, of Girord It is claimed by the petitioner that Dan Rice, in violation of his marriage vows has wilfully and maliciously deserted her for a period of two years without just cause. The woman now asking for divorce is Rice's second wife. The first Mrs. Rice was a circus actress and shared with Dan his fame when at its height An event which transpired while Rice's shot" was exhibiting in Erie caused her to apply successfully for divorce. Two daughters was the re sult of this union, both of whom are now comfortably married. Mrs. Rice after being divorced became Mrs. W arner. Dan Rice wooed and won Miss Rebecca McConnell of Girord, a lady many years his junior. Her father, who was a wealthy banker and Presbyterian deacon, was opposed to the match, and disinherited hisdangn ter, notwithstanding she was an only child. It has been stated by Rice that he first saw Miss McConnell at his show when an infant in her nurse's arms. The little thing evinced such an extraordinary interest in tho per formance as to attract his attention. Although then a married man, he watched her with special interest nn til she grew to womanhood. After his first wife rr icured a divorce Rice won Miss McConnell ss Li3 bride. He was very prosperous for some years after his second marriage and erected a costly mansion at Girard and adorned the grounds surround ing it, the whole costing sornthing over $100,000.
