(Per I►urainion Line) New York, July 2nd,11881. President Garfield, while purchasing a ticket in the Baltimore and Potomac depot at Washington this morning was shot. The assasin was arrested. Dr. Bliss says the wound is not mor- tal. LATER. Another report says Garfield is dead; but a later report contradicts this and says he is not dead but badly wounded. The President lots just been taken to the White House in an ambulance, under guard of mounted police. The excite went is intense. LATIN?. The name of the would be assassin is Gitteau. He was quickly apprehended and is lir the District Jail. The President is lyin in a critical condition, one of the balls having en- tered his bowels. No one is allowed to see him save the doctors, who are in' constant consultation. Immense crowds with anxiety depicted upon every face, throng the grounds around the building where the wounded President is lying. The White House is now surrounded by troops and police, end the excite- ment is unabated. All communication with the White House, except by telephone, is cut of There is great indignation in Canada and the United States over the attem- pted murder. Venire Mersa Liberal IreaservatIae4'essen rally, l .noodles. The annual meeting of the Centre Hur- on Liberal Conservatives was held in the Queen's Hotel, Seaforth, on Monday af- ternoon t last. Although the morning was wet and sloppy quite a large number turned out, each township being repre- sented by three and four or more repre- sentatives, composed .,f the most influen- tial Liberal Conservatives in the riding. It is not generally expected that the an- nual meeting will be large, there being no prospect of an election in the near fu- ture and the business is usually confined to the election of officers and other min- or business. Among those present we noticed a number of familiar faces—F. W. Johnson, W. Campbell, S. Platt, J. Beck, H. • Martin, Alex. McNeil, Dr. Coleman, Jas. Mitchell. T. Kidd, ,A. Morrison, T. D. Roan, Thos. E. Hayes, R. H. Fervuson, Jos. Evans, M. Mor- rison. G. E. Jackson, P. Kelly, F. Mey- er and James Hick". On this occasion it was certainly gratifying to see the .amount of enthr:.. ,em and the general feeling of satisfaction of the manner in which the affairs of • this Dominion are being conducted by the presant Govern- ment, as the presence of so many from a distance is ample proof of. Mr. James H. Benson, the President. called the meeting to order. and briefly- explained the objects . f the meeting in a neat speech, and the nteetinz proceeded to the election of officers for the ensuing year : Tames H.

Thillbllowing resolution was moved ivy George Jackson, seconded by Mr. P Kelly, Resolved, that the pressed Dominos Government deserve the warmest Auks, not only of the Conservative party, bee t of every true Canadian. fur e admir- able manner with which they are admin- istering the finances of the somata, is disponsing with all unnecotwy odkiale. and expending our surplus revenues in developing the resorts* of the oo�htry, which stands in marked contrast=i tk• feeble, wasteful, and foolish policy of their predecessors. We deem it our bounden duty to use every exertion is the way of organisation and personal in- fluence to secure to thee, gentlemen a gunural, cordial and hearty support at 15u neat elections. We coasoientiomly believe that the inhabitants of this coun- try owe them a gnat debt of greftude for the wire and judicious soetW they adapted in carrying out the expnesawieh- se of the Canadian people, in building the Pacific Railroad by a non-political company. We also heartilyapprove of their successful dealings witthe nation- al trade policy. which has already more than exceeded our •xp•catinee, and will no doubt, in the future be the means of making Canada a wolf sustaining and prtwperr,sr, nation We regret. that the salt Wintry el this lw.lity las tact re- ceived flat sashimi whisk its impor- tance demand& We sunset allow this opportunity to pass without testifying our a prsaati. of the gnat services to ourPusniaiois rendered by that distin- guished , Sir Joan A. Madun- ald, and •tj• inlet be will be enabled shortly to uni to his adopted buss with health euspM sly petered. Mr. Jackson briefly referred to some or the must important questions. We had coat, there for the purpose of Motion, and from Ilse present there would loot be soak didleultIn that respect, jading from the feeling of the present meeting. It was one thm1 the Conservatives could boast of—gaud legislation for the people. Reformers could nut point to jobs or any other un- patriotic ad of the present Government. The people are the government of this country, and it was an erroneous idea which some people possessed that because they had no job or other favour to ask of the Government they should have noth- ing to do with politics. We mud all do our share towards making wise and judi- cious laws. A Government cannot build your houses, clear your farms, eta, but kthey can your interest and mon ful agencies from usurping your markets. As evi- dence of what a bad Government could do, Mr. J. cited the old "family com- pact,' of 1837, and contrasted the differ- ence existing in the state of the country thea and at the present time. It was the duty of the Government to make laws to protect the life and property of the people tot that country. The present Government stands pre-eminent in this respect through their wise trade policy and that of opening up our undevelod resources. There cannot be a doubt tt the National Policy has not benefitted the country, and it did what Mr. Tilly claimed for it by fostering and building up eaisufacturing industries that have benefitted the people. During Mr. Mac- kenzie and Mr. Blake's realms the settled pnliey of these gentlemen was to help for- eign countries to the detriment of this Canada of ours. Instead of the retrench- ment they had promised before taking dhice, they foolishly wasted the people's ouney in jobs, such as the Goberich Harbor, Fort St. Francis locks, Kunin- istiqua and Neebing hotel jobs, and gave David Glum, of London, an immense sum' of money to build a line of poplar tele- graph poles that were 44,,noearthly use, and lad, but not lead, they deepened the Welland canal to benefit the farmers of Michigan, Wisconsin and ,Minnesota by giving them an easy outlet for their grain into Canada and to the, sea -board. On viewing the policy of the present Governmentwe find them legislating for the benefit of our own people. The have given us our home market. which has benefitted the farmer, merchant and me- chanic alike. They had given the con- ract for the construction of the Pacific Railway, the•suocus of which had dis- comfit/ed. the Grit party by their liberal land terms and the large immigration which was taking place in consequence. It could only be a matter of conjecture what the population of that vast country would be in a few years. It was neces- sary that we should Imre a through rail- way line from ocean to ocean to develop ani open up the resources of thecountry, which is essentially necessary to make us the great nation we are destined to be- come at no 'distant date. He was cer- tsin the people of this Dominion would be willing to record their verdict at the coming election of 1883, as they did in Pictou and Colchester last week. Dr. Coleman then followed in a stir- ring speech, and paid a very high tribute of respect to the wise and statesmanlike policy of Sir John A Macdonald and colleagues, yet he regretted, in common with gentlemen engaged in the salt in- dustry of this country, that there was not some protection given to native salt, against the ruinous supply imported from forei{n countries. The spirit of the meeting sustaiued the Dr. in his well- timed remarks, and it was Moved by Mr. Jackson, seconded by Mr. T. E. Hays, and resolved ; that whereas many erroneous opinions have existed as to the purity and quality of our Ontario salt, and this now proved by analysis, as well as experiment, that our Huron salt is equal to, and indeed su- perior to any English salt, we most re- spectfully request that our salt industry be put ora similar footing with the oth- er Canadian industries. by being suffi- ciently protected, and that a copy of this resolution be sent to the Government. Speeches were also delivered by Mea- n t. Benson, Ryan, Thos. Kidd, T. E. Hayes, Morrison and Campbell. A communication from Mr. M. Mc- Quaid, Tockersmith, was read, favorably received, and commented upon. It was referred to the local organisations The usual votes of thanks were given to the past officers, and one of the most suooemful and enthusiastic meetings held aero was brought to a close. The nett sleeting will be held in 8eaforth at the call of the President. —{Sun.
