At last we must record the long feared news. President Garfield died at Long Branch, Monday night, Sep tember 19, at 10 o'clock and tbirty-five minutes. Such was the brief telegram we had to read yesterday morning. From the news of the previous day all bad began to fear that it was but a question of time for him. But what a grand, heroic struggle for life he made! Who can forget it ? Who does not ad mire it ? Never in all history there a ruler of the people, or one in! high authority, who bore himself soj patiently and so humbly under afflic-j tion. The death of James A. Garfield; Is one of the most remarkable in all time and must make a history full of meaning and instruction. In the brief space of sixteen years past he is the second President of the United States struck down by the assassin. What are we to think of this in this free country ? When the like has happen ed in Russia, Spain or Mexico, we have been horrified. But here we have a second case in our own brief history. The shooting down of President Lin coln, in April 1865, was just after the close of the civil war, and the deed of the assassin was attributed to feelings of revenge growing out of the war. But President Garfield is shot duwn in a time of profound peace. Truly our fature is a matter of serious thought. But in the language of James A. Gar field, spoken on the occasion of the death * of Abraham Lincoln, "God rules andj the Government still lives." The people mourn, but the name of| Garfield will live in the memory of thei people while f ree Government exists | Philadelphia Press: "There is an| opening for a Republican newspapers in the capital of this State. But itsj editor must work for his living, as oth-E er editors do, and not depend upon stationery steals and other pilferings for a living. EX-CONGRESSMAN BURLEIGH has a pet scheme. It is to domesticate the buffalo, which, as he argues, is a much! better beef animal for the cold North west than the ox, because while the buffalo sports an ulster the ox goes around in his shirt sleeves as it were. He wants Congress to help him in this matter. THB Parker Phwnix of last week announces that the authorities of the Parker, Karns City and Butler Rail road Company "have ordered their shops at Butler to be removed to Parker, etc." What does this mean ? We were not aware that there were any shops, of any great extent at this place. THKODOBB S. WILSON, Esa, of Clarion, was nominated last week byg tho Republicans of Clarion county fori President Judge in that district. Al-1 though a Democratic district we would! like to see our friend Wilson "pulll through," and hope he may. He isj fully competent for the position and will make a strong candidate. TUB Supreme Court of Pennsylva nia decided that a person who has paid part of the purchase money on property, but who is not entitled to the ownership nntil the entire price is paid, has an insurable interest in the proper ty to the extent of their own interest therein. This rule would apply to furniture bought on the installment plan. WC can all readily comprehend how and why it was that the "Stalwarts'* of the State Uonvention were thrown into consternation by the third resolu tion, introduced by Hon. Edward Mc- Phereon into the platform as a sort of rider to the milk-and-water one on the' subject of the attempted assassination of the President. It was like live coals to a tortoise's back, to the ad herents of Senator Cameron to have itd said by the Convention that the Presi-fl dent was shot down for a "conscienti-l ous exercise of proper executive pow-a er." It was true, nevertheless, anda while the "friends" of the Senator whoa stood by Mr. Conkling to the last,—wc® may say without figure of speech to* the bitter end—found the phrase gall to and wormwood to their souls, they had a the power to defeat the resolution, yetji dared not do so lest it should contpli-T cate matters too seriously for their can-Jj ; didate and their own future prestige.K The cause of political reform is not wholly lost when its victorious adver saries will accept such terms as this from the vanquished.

Respectfully Yours, JAMES A. LOWREY. A •'STALWARTS' 1 OPINION. The Beaver Argus and Radical is -one of the few Republican journals in ithe State that may properly be classed "stalwart," since the shooting ol Garfield. In its issue of the Si4th inst. it makes the following ad imission, in reference to tbp resolution goffered and urged in the late Republi can State Convention by the friends of Garfield's Administration. •It says ; | "Nominations for Treasurer had been uordered, when a discussion in tiio Co:n |mitte on Resolutions caused a halt. sThere were two platforms before the The one a single resolu tion of Senator Cooper, and the other fa more elaborate and specific gprics, goffered by Mr. McPherson. Mr. Leed? Sfathered Senator Cooper's and McPher tson made his own fight. The result |was comprorMM. Cooper's single res- Polution was divided into two aad mfiken gthe first and second resolutions of the jjplatform as adopted. McPherson is fcthe author of tbc third, fourth and fifth, Band the last, which commends Gover- Inor Hoyt's Administration, was ?on motion of somebody else. Thus it that about the only Inde pendent victory ofthe day was scored by McPherson. It lies "especially in the last clause of the third resolution, namely, the declaration that the act ol Guiteau was "an assault upon the President for the conscientious exercise lof proper executive power," a conces sion which monv Stalwarts in the Convention would not have p)itde with their eyes open. There was a httU breeze when the platform was brought before the Convention, but it was over in a moment." Here is the remarkable admission "that the passage of the resolution dc 'liouncing the infamous crime upon the [President, was due to the efforts of Mr {McPherson, the leader of tffca of National Administration. And it; ■boasts that, "that was about the only' ■lndependent victory of the day." And ( sit says, that "tho clause of the third [resolution, declaring the agt E\T. 9j Lose RKASCII. Septen'iier 17.
