• 4r11 ATTEMPTED MURDER OF
PRESIDENT GARF.IELD.
On Saturday ° morning this country
—and no doubt all countries, was
thrown into a state of excitement ori,
hearing the news. of the attempted
murder. of President. Garfield while
" purchasing a: ticket in the Baltimore
and Potomac depot at Washington, by
an ex -consul named Guitteau. For a
cold-blooded murder this attempt will
eclipse anything that iias ever "before
came under our notice. Without any
cause, the pistol was aimed, and the
bullets took their effect, There seems
to have been no revenge in . question
and nothing at stake. to. incite the as-
sailant into his, bprrible deed,.; The
President's own position at the' time
seemed' to• Blake the deed look the
more atrocious. He was purchasing a
ticket to go by train to . visit his wife
who was lying ill at a distance and not
elcpected to recover. Ile was not in a
proper state of health at the time to
leave his bedroom; owing to the. coin
bined anxiety of his wife's illness anct
his dispute with Conklingiil upholding
right and justice. Yet, at this. same
° moment •the evil design was• put into
practise and, he was laid, low. Ever
since, and ou Saturday particlarly, the
telegraph office was besieged withnum-
bers of people anxious to ' read every
bulletin, and watching for every bul-
letin to come. As we write lie is very
much improved , rests easy,, and- good
hopes are entertained of • his recovery.
:ti few words with respectto his life may
not, •be but of place. • He was, born in
Connecticut .in 1831. • His father was
a farmer and died when Garfield wae
111140. .blurry tint; itis} uyg ,ll7m to lcaxil,
farm work, whicth.he' did successfully:
Ile*besides learned to be a . carpenter
and could, in•fact,.put his hand to and
work at anything. After this he
taught school for a .few years and then'
entered college: •4fter a few year lie
became president of Hiram's ;College,
Ohio, during which period he preached
several times, His public. carer was
commenoecl in .1858, when lie was elect-
ed to the' State House of 'representa
tives. He occupied : the.. ?position of
t'eloiiel dui iiig= the lvar about..this time.;
He retirel,from the .service' in 1562,"
and was elected to Congress dewing the
same year. . He served as a Congress
loan until 1879, when he was appoint-
ed to 'the :United States Senate in place
of Senator Hurman. In June, 1880,
the Republican . Convention for' the
purpose ofselecting a caudidatefor the
Presidence was held in Chioage; when
Messrs. Grant arid Blaine seemed to be
the two rival men for the claitms. Ga.,
field, however, being. a •third party
was brought out as "Independent,"
and after several day's voting secured'
the candidacy. ' After a: very= -'stirring
election he -was. pilscedat the head of
the polls,

TIIE Whitby .Gazette, After -discussing
the question of free trade"and protection,
comes. to , the lellowing very sensible
conclusion :. '
"It requires no very gent amount
of, reflection to preceive that a rule
applicable. to England, with itis immense

perience. in uiaaufacturing,.and strong

simple rules for our direction : 1st the
home market is the best market; 2nd,
diversity of talent demands a deversity
of employment."
This is the conclusion. to which all
dispassionate' opponents, of the Govern-
ment wilt in time come.,
Tea 1'riish land bill still drags its
weary way through the 'Douse of
commons, and it is going to. pass—
though not very hurriedly. The third
reading it- is stated will. not be con-
tested by she Opposition„ancp the meas-
ure with the few amendments the Govµ
ernment has made in it will go up to
the Lords, where its fate' will be de-
cided. The general impression. ie that
the Peers will give it a second reading,.
but will materially modify it in com-
mittee. .Several Irish Tory peers in-
tend to support the second reading,, and
it is considered that will. effect the act-
ion of the English...Tory peers. _ The
bill. is having along siege of it. While
the doctors are wrangling over the char
acter'ofthe medicine to be; prescribed
a sick ligan may die. This may not be
the casein the •present distance;. but it
is evident that the patient Is not get-
ting better. .

New .2Vew Era of last week,, in corn
menting on the remarks of the Mont-
real 1Vitness, which we published in our
last issue, anent the return of the lib-

and without resort to all manner of
subterfuge, 'liberals consider principle
