TiiE Democratic State Committee will
meet fit Bolton's Hotel, Harrlsbutg, ou
Wednesday, August 10, to fix the date
of tbe State convention.
Justice Cliffobd of the U. S.
Supreme Court died at his residence iu
Maine on the Mth nit. He had been
quite feeble for some months and his
death was expected.
Judge Ho ah of Mass., seems to
be troubled about the severe treatment
Oulteau Is receiving, by his close con
finement. Most people will think Mr.
Hoars sympathy Is wasted. We believe
if Oulteau was let out of jail it would be
still worse for him, particularly If the
people acted as their feelings would dic
tate. Several barrels marked cement have
been shipped to England which were
found to contain infernal machines of
great power. The Fenians in this
country are blamed. with doing this, and
the English are naturally indignant at
such outrages. Of course this govern
ment would punish the guilty parties if
it can be ascertained who they are.
Ox Tuesday last the unfavorable
reports from Washington in regard to
the President's condition were seized
upon by the stock jobbers as an excuse
for a raid on stocks, and a general de
cline was the consequence, with almost
a panto In some instances. Northern
Pacific was particularly sensitive and
fell 12 per cent, from the prices of a few
days previous. The war among the
great trunk lines, in regard to freight
and passenger rates, helped very much
In reducing prices on the Btock of these
roads, and others of course fell in sym
pathy. But all these securities are yet
too high, and even a further decline
would not Indicate that the country was
not financially in a good condition.
The President's Condition.
Dispatches show that apparently the
President is improving but his condition
is anything but satisfactory. Saturday
began the fifth week of his sickness. It
finds the patient so week that there were
fears that the careful rolling of his bed
across the nail into another room would
fatigue hini and bring on fever, his
stomach unable to retain or assimilate
any solids, and life sustained only by
beef juice, milk and lime water ; a fever
that comes on daily and sometimes
sends his pulse and temperature up to
over 100 beats and 100 degrees ; suppura
tion going on more or less satisfactorily ;
sleep induced by hypodermic injections
of morphine; the bullet beyond the
skill of surgeons accurately to find and
with the probability of abscess formation
about it, and as Hamilton says, bone
eplints probably still imbedded in the
tissue. These conditions we know at
the end of four weeks exist; yet it has
been said all along that the President
was getting better. The truth is that
the greatest encouragement in the case
to-day lies on the fact that at the end of
four weeks he Is no worse, and such is
the kind of encouragement which is oU
tained only in a very critical sickness.
. The latest intelligence is :
Washington, July, Slst, 0 P. M.
The President has passed a comfortable
day, with only slight fever this after
noon. Pulse now 92 ; respiration, 18.
The extka five hundred dollars sal
ary which the Legislature voted to
themselves, the Dauphin county Court
decides cannot be legally paid by the
Treasurer, and that he is right iu refus
ing to cash the Members warrants for
any amount exceeding the $1,000. The
decision is quite lengthy and closes as
follows ;
We are, therefore, clearly of the opln
ion that so much of the act of the 11th
of May, 1874, already cited, as pretends
to give daily pay in addition to a fixed
sum to members or tne .Legislature, is
unconstitutional and void.
It would be unlawful for the State
Treasurer to pay it. This Court cannot
enforce payment by mandamus, and the
same must be refused. We leave out of
view everv Question of policy or exnedi
enev. Those are Questions for the Leer
islttture alone, over which the Judiciary
has no control and no rignt or dleposi
Hon to pass judgment.

An Albany Excitement.
Albany, July t". Much excitement
was created here at noon by a rumor
that an attempt had been made to shoot
Governor Cornell. The particulars
the afUlr are as follows : At 8:30 o'clock
an unknown man walked up the stoop
of the old cnpltol, and was about to enter
the building when the superintendent
of the building, Thomas Hyde, noticing
the strange appearance of the man, who
was carrying an old fashion guu on his
shoulder, stopped him and asked where
he was going. He replied: "I am
adjutant general of this Btate." Hyde,
judging that the man was crazy, and
fearing that some harm to that state
official was intended, asked for the gun.
Tle stranger declined to give it up,
whereupon a desperate struggle ensued
for its possession, Hyde finally securing
It. The gun proved to be unloaded.
The stranger, who Is evidently not yet
recovered from the effects of a spree,
was lodged in the Second district station
house. He describes himself as Patrick
MeLane, a blacksmith, of White Hall.
Bogus Postal Cards.
United States Agent Camp, while
searching the premises of Linton J.
CirofF, postmaster at Linton, Ohio, re
cently convicted of forging postal mon
ey orders, made a very important dis
covery. He unearthed a number of
very skillfully executed plates for the
printing of postal cards, together with
material sufficient to show that Grot!"
had spent a great deal of thought and
not a little cash In that direction. There
was paper -cut in postal card form, but
the shade was entirely too light, and its
use would have betrayed its spurious
character. GrofT's plan was to contract
with merchants to print cards for them
on the back of his own issue of postal
cards, which would have yielded a large
profit. The engraving was ' done in
New York, but the artisan was deceived
by Grotf, who had his name and address
engraved on the same block, pretending
that It was for advertising purposes
only. After receiving the block, he cut
oft his name for use in his printing
oilice, so that the postal card portion
was ready for use. Groff was not tried
for this counterfeit, as he had not Issued
any of the postal cards.
A Tremendous Lightning Stroke.
Oil Thursday last a flue in the resi
dence of John Osborne of Raymond
township, Illinois, was struck by light
ning. The charge separated aud passed
iu at a window; killing a little son and
daughter. Another daughter of Mr.
Osborne's was picked up bodily and
carried through a window at which she
was sitting, and thrown several feet iu
the air, landing quite adlstancefrom the
house, and, strange to say, she was not
hurt in the least. Mr. Osborne and an
employee were lying on the floor asleep.
Both received severe shocks. A Bilver
watch lying on the floor was melted, and
pieces of it were found in various places
In the house. A barn In the vicinity
was struck at the same time, aud, with
its contents, was destroyed by fire. In
dianapolvi Journal.
6if On Tuesday forenoon, a frightful
accident happened at" the tube works,
Middletown, by which Peter Helsy, a
youDg married man was seriously, if not
mortally wounded. It seems that while
on a car, in front of the works, assisting
to load pipe, he lost his balance, and fell
off the car, and the pipe he was helping
to handle followed, striking him on the
head, fracturing his skull, and otherwise
injuring his head and face. He remain
ed unconscious for several hours. Drs.
Laverty aud Mish were summoned, and
they did all they could for the unfor
tunate man. He was conveyed to his
home, near . Hound Top, on Tuesday
evening.

Detiioit, Mich., July 28. About
midnight on Wednesday night Alonzo
Jeffrey staggered into the Fox House at

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, July 97, 1881.
Tbe attacks on those physicians who have
had Immediate chargo of tbe President's case
resulted in the present arrangement by which
for a time one of the consulting physicians
will be in attendance on the President. It has
been stated that Mrs. Garfield requested this,
but there is no good authority for the state
ment, to for as I can learn. This much is
certain, and it Is more important than any
thing else connected with the medical history
of the case, vlt. that all tbe physicians are now
working In the utmost harmony. The surgical
operation of Sunday was performed by Dr.
Agnew at the request of the senior physician
In charge, and for the same reason Dr. A. now
signs the medical bulletins. The condition of
the President at this writing Is felt by all to be
most critical.
It Is dcflnatoly stated that except In one
bureau of the Interior Department there will
be no further reorganization, and no changes
la system of appointments, promotion, etc.,
until the President Is able to attend to busi
ness. Tills statement Is made to correct a
furmer one that early efforts to reform the
Civil Service In several Departments. The
exception noted above Is the pension oflice,
which was taken charge of la Juue by Col.
Dudley with the distinct understanding between
himself and the Secretary of tbe Interior, and
the President, that be should cot be Interfered

Ofllclal notice has been received from China
of the ratification of the two treaties between
that country and this. The treaties were
ratified by the Senate at tbe last regular
session. In this connection It may be staled
that the reason why the Chinese students are
to he withdrawn from American schools Is
because our ways are "too progressive." The
etudents will be sent to Europe for education.
