It must be exceedingly gratifying to
all true and loyal citizens to see the uni
versal solicitude shown in the welfare of
the President, by all classes irrespective
of political creed or sectional strife since
the attempt to assassinate the good man.
It has brought to the surface strong ties
ol general brotherhood and a natural feel
ing of common national interest hereto
fore hidden deep under partisan strife
and sectional hatred. The announce
ment of the diabolical act, had no sooner
gone forth on the electric wires, than in
dignation and sorrow were expressed
throughout the land and messages of con
doience forwarded to the wounded man
and sympathy given ins respected family.
And the South, supposed to take little
stock in the Chief Magistrate, only as
compelled to submit to his rule by the
strong arm oftnelaw, lias nobly come
to the front, given succor to the nation
and exhibited a deep anxiety in the pain
ful situation that much atones for its
past hatred and disloyalty. It lias been
a dangerous channel to pass through, to
feel the pulse of the nation in a paralyz
ing crisis, but out of the diagnosis comes
the gratifying rfcport that we are a united
people, healthy at heart and prepared for
ordeals and calamities that would throw
into a general panic if not produce anar
chy in any other nation in the world.
The fact is we have a good and wise
President and the masses know it. lie
was guiding the Ship of State majestical
ly along, meeting with remarkable tact
and sagacity the adverse winds, keeping
oil' the shoals of corruption, command
ing the helm himself, not submitting to
those of the crew who would usurp his
power and direct the course contrary to
his own revised and safe chart. We also
notice with pride that a day of fasting
and prayer lias been appointed by Ken
tucky and Arkansas—States lately in re
bellion and winch at the President's elec
tion gave large majorities against liim.
Hon. Joseph E. Brown, of Georgia, in
conversation with Postmaster General
James recently related an incident which
may have an important bearing in deter
mining the question of motive in Guit
eau's crime. He said thai having occa
sion to visit the State Department, May
17, in company with a friend, they met
two men coming out, one of whom he
subsequently identified from his photo
graph, to be Guiteau. lie seemed to be
passionately excited, and as they passed
exclaimed to his companion : "They have
excluded me from the White House but
you will see that I will get even with
those fellows yet." The speaker's lan
guage and manners attracted Mr. Brown's
attention, and he thought at the time
that vengence of some kind was meant
against the Secretary of State. When he
learned subsequently from reading Dis
trict Attorney Corkhill's narrative that
the prisoner resolved to kill President
Garfield on the eighteenth day of May,
the day following this speech, he went to
the District Attorney, satisfied himself
as to the identity of the speaker, and
gave the above testimony, which will
probably be used in the government's
case.
The Governor of Texas having refused
to unite in a call for a da}- of general
Thanksgiving when the President shall
recover, a mass meeting, composed of
men of all political parties and creeds,
was held in Dallas to protest against the
attitude of Gov. Roberts regarding it.
Speeches were made bj r prominent citi
zens and the following resolution adopted :
"liesolved, That the citizens of Dallas
will spend the day set apart by other
States as a day of jubilee and thanksgiv
at the recovery of our President. Other
cities of Texas are invited to do like
wise."
President Garfield and Judge Black
have recently become the owners of a
large farm in Alexandria county. Va., ly
ing within view of the White House.
They acquired a small portion of the tract
partly by purchase and partly as a fee for
services. The whole tract was mortgag
ed, and in order to save their part they
instructed an agent to buy the whole of it
when the forecloseure sale occurred.
While the President has been lying ill
the sale has been made and his farm se
cured.
