ptrished. The South will gam more u

the North by the reconciliation which Ga

rS.Ma lifa and death inaugurated, and itis therefore to hr interest to cultivate the

most cordial relations with all sections of

.k. . Tho Southern veople. havemc v .t u "faith in the capaci

..f their soil, in the immensity of their dor-

mant mineral riches, in their delightful cli-

mate, in their great rivers, and roadsteads,

and bays and harbors in everything tnatGikI gives to make a people prosperous and

ha;py. Those vast reource need develop-

ment. This can only be done by .invitingNorthern capital and foreign immigration,

lint we can secure neither so long as the sec-

tional hatreds of the North depict the South

as the abode of lawlessness, which renders

apiial insecure and an unfit home for thei.ea-fu- l immigrants from fciirope. Jowthat the two sections have been reconciled

th will fxl the flush and force of a

rtrong and vigorous flood strengthening

her new life and ride in triumph upon tnebitter waters that have so long surged aroundher in her weakness and her woe. If the

has been the ere a test sufferer by war,

and the depressing and injurious remits of

sectional prejudices, there is some compen-

sation in the reflection that she will be the

ereatest gainer by the blessings of peace.

Northern capital is now pouring into the

South seeking investment, and as ousmesa in-

tercourse between the North and South

increases the social relations between the two

sections will become correspondingly morecordial, kind and affectionate. The people

of both sections, as in all free governments,

will hereafter, as heretofore, exercise the

right of free thought in matters of public

policy. But the Southern man who, by any

violence of act or expression, docs anything

to sever the link and ligaments that bind

the two sections together commits a crime

against the South. The country ia once more

united. The bloody chaaai has at last been

bridged. The great wall that separated the

North and South has crumbled in ruins, and

evejy brick of that wall must be thrown into

the sea of oblivion. Huge walls and fortifi-

cation were erected for the protection- of

Sparta, but it waa afterward decreed that if

these walls and fortifications were erected to

protect the people, the interest of peace,which regarded them as a standing menance,required their destruction.may have had something to do with the crea-

tion of the sectional line between the North

and the Rjuth, bat the iuteresU of peace andthe prosperity of the country require an

obliteration of the line forever.

KCLIUtOl S QfJARSELH.It is said that Hades hath no fury like a

woman scorned, and it may be said with

equal truth that the same infernal regionhath no fury equal to a religions quarrel.When two denominations commence squab-

bling, awful and terribly sublime is the con-

flict, liut when a church i severed by jar-

ring factions the Big-endi- and the Little-vndiat- w

become ao venomous that if they werechopped up each particle would crawl intothe coutest like so many hissing rattle-snakes. The scenes now being enacted atSau Francisco and Chicago demonstrate thetiercene.-- a of factious feud in religious de-

nomination. A few day since an excel-

lent lady vii tried in San Francisco andconvicted of heresy. She had built up aSunday-schoo- l of several hundred pupilsfrom a little nucleus of about twenty. Therewas no doubt that she was doing good work;there was certainly no question about thefact that the children were better with herthan they were boiore her coming. But shewas not orthodox enough, and so was ar-

raigned, tried and convicted of heresy. Theissue was about as grave and iniortant as

that which induced the Lilliputians to go towar to decide whether eggs should be brokenon th big end or the little end. But stillthe church was severed, aud the factions arepelting each other with brick-ba- t epilhcU.A Methodist church in Chicago has been

rent in twain on account of the Thomas im-

broglio. The facts show that Mr. Thomas is

a Kod man, a pious Christian, aud a usefultuiuistcr, but he was arraigned, tried andlouvteted of heresy, and the faction arefrantically screaming at each other like so

many raving maniacs. In regard to thisquarrel the ArrEAL haa already expressedthe opinion that Mr. Thomas is wholly, en-

tirely aud radically wrong, for there is noth-

ing more sacredthan loyalty to country,

party and sect. In the family circle, at

school, in business, in the church, in society,and in the nation, loyalty to established

iisnge ia compelled and ,i supreme. It is

as important in a religious organiaation asin an army of invasiou. A religiousdenomination that tolerates among its mem-Wr- s,

aud especially among its preachers,independence of action violative of it creed,is lost. Diatf gard of order ia as fatal in a

religious as it i in a military campaign, andit is a devoid of sense to talk about perse-

cution when heretics are arraigned, a it is

to deprecate discipline and authority in anarmy. The Appeal ha already discussed

this matter, and the following extract from

the New York Timn so accords with what

e have said that we republish it: "Like

uiosl men in hi position, Mr. Thomas thick

that he ia a persecuted man. The facts in

the case do not justify this opinion. Hevoluntarily joined a society the objf-c- t of

which is to teach certain doctrines, and be-

came a trusted officer of that society. Havi-

ng" decided in his own mind that these doc-

trines were untrue, it was his obvious dutyto withdraw from the society. To continueto occupy his position of trmt and at the

same time to teach doctrines which the so-

ciety was organized to combat was clearly

not permissible, unless the society desired to

commit suicide. If a man joins a temper-

ance society and is hired to deliver temper-

ance lecturej, he has no right to deliver lec-

ture affirming that temperance is all wrong.

Should ho be guilty of such conduct, the

temperance society would deserve no respect

if it did not expel him, aud iu that case he

could not claim that he was the victim of

persecution. Mr. Thomas may be all rightin his theological views, and the .Methodist

denomination may be all wrong, but as a

Methodist minister he is bound not to attack

the doctrines of the Methodist denomination,

and if he does attack them he cannot call

himself a persecuted man if he is turned outof the Methodist pulpit." The Appeal didnot commence this article with the view of

discussing at length the issues involved inthese church quarrels, but to deprecatefie bitterness which religious quarrels al-

ways engender. Men that subscribe to thegospel of peace and forgiveness, will, iu de-

nominational feuds about the "stan-

dards," become fiends in hate andmalignity. Rough men will fight andforgive each other. Politicians can warupon each other and still be friends. Evenamong savages an implacable hatred andmalignity are rare. But let there once be

dissension among churchmen, and the bitterness and malice seems to be remorseless. Wecan understand how men can fall as martyrs in defense of their imperiled faith.But it is strange that wrangling in their own

church about denominational issues shouldconvert Christiana into fiends.

Dr. Harrison Wagner, described by theBaltimore Aides as "a professional litigant,"has just recovered from two thousand citizensof Frederick, Maryland, sums ranging fromfifty to seventy-fiv- e dollars each. In 1871)

the fellow, who was considered crazy, en-

tered suit against the parties from whom hehas just recovered, claiming damages. No at-

tention was paid to him or the suits, the par-ties failed to appear, and judgment wasgiven by default. The time elapsed underwhich an appeal could be taken to a highercourt, and the judgments were affirmed,placed in the hands of an officer and col-

lected. In fact, the judgments amounted toa lien on the property of defendants, andthere was no difficulty in the collection. Theparties are wild with rage at the swindle,but have no recourse at law, aud only thepoor satisfaction of knowing enough not tobe caught the same way a second time.There was no ground whatever for the suit",hence, the seeming carelessness. A fellowtried a similar game ia Arkansas someyears ago. He sued half the people of LittleEock for the lots they lived on, togetherwith all and singular the improvements, etc.A few of the defendants answered the suitagainst them by taking the adventurer outbetween the Statehouse and the river, hitch-ing him np to a tree and "firing it into him"with a cowhide to the extent of about a hundred lashes. The suits were withdrawn thenext day at the cost of the plaintiff. Cul-

tured folks would call this rough, but it wasa quick way of getting rid of a litigiousdead-bea- t.

From the Hot Springs Slar we learn thatColonel James A. McKenzie, member of Congress for the Second Kentucky District, whowas threatened with partial paralysis of theeyea was almost completely restored by theuse of the waters at the Independent bathhouse, under the superintendence of Mr.McKeogh, so well known in Memphis. IrFranklin was die physician in charge of thecase. Colonel McKenzie is so far restoredthat he can read and write and conduct hisown correspondence without suffering theleast discomfort or inconvenience. His disease was partial paralysis of the optic nerve,H s cure may almost be ranked as a miracle.Certainly it is one of the most wonderful onrecord. Let other sufferers take comfort.Nature has planted among the wild andrugged mountains of the Ozark range waters,heated and chemically charged in her ownlaboratory, whose restorative and health-gi- v

ing properties make them a very Fountain ofYouth.

The celebration of 4he flow of ths watersof Gunpowder river into Baltimore is to bemade a grand and brilliant affair. Besidesthe civic and military pageant of the firstday and an illumination and display of fireworks, there will on the second day be aparade of the Baltimore Orioles, somethingafter the manner of our Mardi Gras pageauts.Mr. DeLeonof Mobile, who has charge ofthis feature of the celebration, is a gentlemanof the highest capacity for his task, andmay be relied upon by the Baltimorcans tomake it a success. The committee having thematter in charge, whilst they guard the secret of the mystic portion as to the subject ortheme in order to excite curiosity, assure thepublic that it will be entirely original, neverbefore given or produced; that the costumeswill be rich, appropriate and accurate, andthat the effect of the combined tableaux willlie both amusing and instructive to the oldas well as the young.

Tm cry for civil-servic- e reform goes upfrom all parts of the country and from allsort of men Democrats as well as Republ-ican. The shortest and one of the best arguments for it that we have yet met with wasfurnished by Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, ofNew York, in his superb speech of last Monday touching the death of Garfield. Hesaid; "A million of needy or ambitious meUbeseige the President for the hundred thousand places in his gift. In a change is aperpetual opportunity to retrieve a failure,and murder forever lurks in this concentra-tion and distribution of patronage, hot thePresident be the constitutional ruler of theRepublic and the civil-servic- e placed upon abusiness basis."

From every part of the country, NewYork especially, there comes complaint of

the long, hot summer, which, though we arenow in the tenth dav of the astronomicalautumn, the heat continues to registeramong the nineties. The summer beganearly and is continuing late. It will longbe remembered for the extraordinary drouthwhich prevailed from the solstice to theequinox, and which has not even yet Ix-e-

broken by the rain-storm- s which are alwaysexpected nt this season, but which, likemany. of the other incidents of autumn, havebeen unaccountably delayed. Some unusualmeteorological disturbance has no doubt in-

terfered with the natural distribution of therainfall.

The New York HVM gives the Democrats of the country the gratifying informa-tion that only seven out ot the 11") letuu- -

cratic papers in the Stale favor the admission of the representatives of TammanyHall in the Slate Convention soon to be

held. The delegates to the convention, inobedience to this expression of the view ofthe people, should not permit the Tam-manyit-

to enter or participate in iis proceedings. Defeat is preferable to dishonor.and the Democrat of the Empire State willbe dishonored if they allow Kelly to bossthem and dictate to them. It should neverbe forgotten that it is to him we owe the de-

feat of Hancock.

of a Lexicon.

Philadelphia, October 1. The Octoberissue of the dnimcaa Journal of Medicinecontains the following official report of theautopsy of President Garfield, prepared by

the surgeons in charge:UIBciHl Record.

A examination of the boay ofPresident J. A. Garfield, made September20, 1S81, commencing at 4:30 p.ni.,eighteen hours death, at FrancklynCottage, Elberon. New Jersey; presentand assisting, Dr. D. W. Bliss, sur-

geon; General J. K. Barnes, U. S. A.;Surgeon J. J. Woodward, U. S. A.; Dr. Rob-

ert Keyburn. Dr. Frank H. Hamilton, Dr. D.Hayes Agnew, Dr. Andrew 11. Smith, of El-

beron and New York; and Acting Assistant-Surgeo- n

D. 8. Lamb, of the Army MedicalMuseum, Washington.

Before commencing the examiuatiou, aconsultation was held by those physicians ina room adjoining that in which the body lay,and it was unanimously agreed that the dis-

section should be made by Dr. Lamb, andthat Surgeon Woodward should record theobservations made.

It was farther unanimously agreed thatthe cranium should not be opened.

Surgeon Woodward then proposed that theexamination should be conducted a fol-

lows :That the body should be viewed externally,

and any morbid appearances existing re-

corded.That a catheter should then be pressed into

the wound, aa was done during ale to washit out, for the purpose of finding the positionof the bullet.

That a long incision should next be madefrom the superior extremity ot the sternumto the pubis, and this crossed by a transverse one just below the umbilicus.

That the abdominal flaps thus made shouldthen be turned back and the abdominal visceraexamined.

That after the cavity was opened, the po-

sition ef the bullet should be ascertained ifpossible before making any further incision,and

Tli at finally the thoracic viscera should beexamined.

Tbls OnlerofPrteedonwas unanimously agreed to. The examina-tion was then proceeded with, and the fol-

lowing external appearances were observed :The body was considerably emaciated, but

the face was much less wasted than thelimbs.

A preservative fluid had been iujected byembaltncr a ifew hours before into the leftfemoral artery. The pipes used for the pur-pose were still iu position.

The interior surface of the body presentedno abnormal appearances, aud there was noecchymosis or other discoloration of any partof the front of the abdomen.

Just below the right ear and a little be-

hind it there was an oval ulcerated openingabout an inch in diameter, from which somesanious pus was escaping, but no tumefac-tion could be observed in the parotid region.

A considerable number of pupura-lik- e

spots were scattered over the left scapulaand thence forward a far aa the axilla.They ranged from one-eigh- to h

of an iuch in diameter, were Blightly ele-

vated and furfuraceous on the surface, andmany of them were confluent in group oftwo to four or more.

A similar but much less abundant eruption was observed sparsely scattered over thecorresponding region on the right aide.

An oval excavated ulcer about an inchlong, the result of a small carbuncle wascited over the spinous proctss of the tenthdorsal vertebra.

Ouer the sacrum there were four smallbed-sore- the largest about half an inch indiaaieU-r- . A tow score pustules and a num-ber of irregular stioU of hypostatic congestion were scattered over theshoulders, back and buttocks.

The inferior part of the scrotum was muchSriismloreil bv bvoostatic congestion.

A group of hemorrhoidal tumors ratherltirir than a walnut protruded from theanus.

The depressed cicatrix of the wound madebv the nistol-bull- was recognized, over thetenth intercostal space, three and a halfinches to the right of the vertebral spine,

A deep linear incision was made in theparts bv the operation of July, and was extended bv that of August 8th. It occupieda position closely corresponding to the upperborder of the right twelfth rib. It commenced posteriorly, about two inches fromthe vertebral spine, and extended forward alittle more than three inches. At the ante-rior extremity of this incision there waa adeep, nearly square abraded surface, aboutan inch across. A welt oiled, uexiDie ca-

theter, fourteen inches lone, was then passedinto this wound, which had been dune towaeh it out durinz life. More resistance waat first encountered than had usually beenthe case, but after several trials the catheterentered without violence to its full length.It was then left in position and the body dis-

posed supinely for the examination of theviscera.

The C'rnnlnm Was Sot Opeaad.A long ineiiion was made from the su-

perior extremity of the sternum to the pubis,followed by a transverse incision, crossingthe abdomen just below the umbilicus. Thefour flaps thus formed were turned back andthe abdominal viscera exposed.

The adipose tissue, dividedby incisions, was little more than one-eigh-

of sn inch thick over the thorax, but wasthicker over the abdomen, being abouta quarter of an inch thick along the lineaalba, and as much as half an inch thickertoward the outer extremity of the transverseincision. On an inspection of the abdominalviscra iu situa, the transverse colon was ob-served to lie a little above the line of theumbilicus. It was firmly adherent to theanterior edge of the liver. The greateromentum covered the intestines pretty thor-oughly from the transverse colon almost tothe pubis. It was still very fat, and wasmuch blackened by venous congestion. Onboth sides its lateral margins were adher-ent to the abdominal parietes. Oppositethe eleventh and twelfth ribs, on tiie leftside, the adhesions were numerous, wellorganized, ami probably old. A foot notehere says that these adhesions, and the finerones on the right side, as well as those of thespleen, possibly date back to an old attack ofchronic dysentery, from which the patient issaid to have suffered during the civil war.1On the right side there were a few similaradhesions and a number ot more delicate,and probably recent ones.

A mass of black coagulated blood coveredand concealed the spleen and left the marginof th? greater omentum. On raising the omen-tum, it was found that the bloody mass ex-tended through the left lumbar and iliac re-gions and dipped down into the pelvis, inwhich there was some clotted blood andrather more than a pint of bloody fluid. Afoot note here says that a large part of thisfluid bad probably transuded from the in-

jection of material by the embalmer. Theblood coagulated having been turned out audcollected, measured very nearly a pint.

It was uow evident that secondary hermor-rhag- e

had been the immediate cause of death,but the . point from which the blood hadescaped was not nt once apparent.

The omentum was not adherent to the in-

testines, which were moderately distendedwith gas. No intestinal adhesions werefound other than those between the trans-verse coUn and the liver already mentioned.

The abdominal cavity being now washedout as thoroughlv as possible, a fruitless attempt wns made to obtain some indication ofthe position of the bullet before making anyfurther incisions. By pushim? aside the ex-tremity of the catheter, which had beenpassed into the wound, it could be felt be-

tween the peritoneum and the right iliacnar-ci- , but it had evidently doubled uponitself, and although a prolonged search wasmade, nothing could lie seen or felt to indi-cate the presence of the bullet either in thatregion or cl- here.

Tlie .tbdaminal Vliirriwere then carefully removed from the body,pb'.eed in suitable vessels, aud examinedtnintini, with the following result: The ad-

hesions between the liver aud transverse colonproved to bound an abscess cavitv be-

tween ihe under surface of the liver and thetransverse messocolon.whieh involved the gall,bladder and extended to about the same dis-

tance on each side of it, measuring six inchestransversely and four inches from beforebackward. This cavity was lined by a thickpyogenic membrane which completely re-

placed the capsule of that part of the undersurface of the liver occupied by the abscess".It contained about two ounces of greenishyellow fluid, a mixture of pus and biliarymatter. This abscess did not iuvolve anyportion of the stibstauce of the liver exceptthe surface with which it was in contact andno communication could be determined be-

tween it and any part of the wound. Somerecent peritoneal adhesions existed betweenthe nper surface of the right lobe of the

liver and diaphragm. The liver waslarger than normal, weighing eighty-fo- ur

ounces. Its substance was firmbut of a pale, yellowish color on it surfaceand throughout the interior of the organfrom fatty degeneration. No evidence thatit had been penetrated by the bullet couldbe found, nor was there any abscesses or in-farctions in any part of its tissue. Thespleen was connected to the diaphragm byadhesions. There were several rather deepcongenital fissures in its margins, giving it alobulated appearance. . It was abnormallylarge, weighing eighteen ounces, of a verydark-lik- e red, both on the surface and on thesection. Its parenchyma was soft and flabby,but contained no abscesses or infarctions,There were some recent peritoneal adhesionsbetween the posterior walls of the stomachand posterior abdominal parietes. W'iththis exception no abnormalities were discov-ered in the stomach or intestines. Nowherewere any other evidences ofgeneralor localperitonitis found, besides those already speci-fied. The right kidney weighed Bix ounces andthe left kidney seven. Just beneath the cap-sule of the left kidney at about tu.3 middleof its convex border, there was a little ab-scess one-thi- rd inch in diameter ; there werethree small serious cysts on the convel bor-der of the right kidney just beneath its cap-sule; in all other respect the tissue ot bothkidneys was normal in appearance and inthe texture. The urinary bladder was emp-ty. Behind the right kidney, after the re-moval of that organ from the body,

Tli Dilated Track f tbe Balletwas dissected iuto. It was found that fromthe point at which it had fractured the rihteleventh rib, three inches and a half to theright of the vertebral spine, the missile hadgone to the left obliquely forward, passingthrough the body of the first lumbar verte-bra and loding in the adipose connectivetissue immediately below tbe lower border ofthe pancreas, about two inches and ahalf to the left of the spinal column, andbehind the peritoneum. It had become com-pletely encysted. The track of the bulletbetween the point at which it had fracturedthe eleventh rib and that at which it en-tered the lumbar vertebra was considerablydilated, and pus had burrowed downwardthrough the adipose tissue behind the rightkidney, and thence had found its way be-

tween the peritoneum and right iliac fossamaking a descending channel which extend-- ,ed almost to the groin. The adipose tissuebehind the kidney in the vicinity of this de-scending channel was much thickened andcondensed by inflammation. In the channelwhich was found almost free from pus, laythe flexible catheter introduced iuto thewound at the commencement of the autopsy,its extremity was found doubled upon itselfimmediately beneath the peritoneum, repos-ing upon the iliac fossa, where the channeldilated into a pouch of considerable size.This long descending channel, now clearlyteen to have been caused by the burrowingof pus from the wound, was supposed duringlife to have been the track of the bullet.The left dorsal, together with the first andsecond lumbar vertebra; and the last ribwere then removed for

A Mre Tbaruc;li Examluatioa.When this examination was made it was

found that the bullet had penetrated the firstlumbar vertebra in the upper part of the rightside of the body. The aperture by whichit entered involved the inter-vertebr- al car-tilage next above, and was .Bituated justbelow and anterior to the inter-vertebr- al for-amen, from which its upper margin wasabout er of an inch distant, passingobliquely to the left and forward through theupper part of the body at the first lumbar ver-tebra. The bullet emerged by an aperaturethe center of which was about half an inchto the left of tbe medium line, and whicha'so involved the inter-vertebr- cartilagenext above. The cancellited tissue ofthe body of the first lumbar vertebra?was very much comminated, andfragments somewhat displaced severaldeep fissures extended from the track of thebullet into the lower part of the body of thetwelfth dorsal vertebra. Others extendedthrough the first lumbar vertebra into theinner vertebra cartilage and the second lum-bar vertebra. Both this cartilage and thenext above were partly destroyed by ulceration. A number of minute fragments fromthe lumbar vertebra had been driven intothe toft parts.

t was Fnrtber Foundthat the right twelfth rib was also fracturedat a point one inch and a quarter to theright of the transverse process of the twelfthdorsal vertebra. This injury had not beenrecognized during life. On sawing throughthe vertebra, a little to the right of the median line, it was found that the spinal column was not involved by the track of theball. The spinal cord and other contents ofthis portion of the spinal canal presentedno abnormal appearance. The rest of thespinal cord was not examined beyond thefirst lumbar vertabra. The bullet continuedto go the left, passing behind thepancreas to the point where it wasfound. Here it was enveloped iu a firm cystof connective tissue, which contained, beside the ball, a minute quantity of inspis-sated somewhat cheesy pus, whish formed athin layer over a portion of the surface oflead. There was also a black shred adhering to a part of the cyst wall, which provedon microscopic examination to be the remains of a blood clot, for about an inchfrom this cyst the track of the ball behindthe panceas was completely obliterated by theHealing process, thence as lar backwardthe body of the first lumbar vertebra thetrack was filled with coagulated blood, whichextended on the left into a regular spacerent in the adjoining adipose tissue behindthe peritoneum and above the pancreas. Theblood had worked its way to the left, burstingnnauy tnrougn me peritoneum behind tbispleen into the abdominal cavitv. The rending of the tissues by the extravasasation ofthis blood was undoubtedly the cause of theparoxvems of pain which occurred a shorttime before death.

Ttila HftH of t'oawalmted Blsodwas irregular in form and nearly as large asa mans hut. it could be distinctlyseen from in front, through the peritoneum,after its site behind the greater curvature ofthe stomach had been exposed bv dissectionof the greater omentum fro m the stomach,aud especially after some of the delicate ad-

hesions between the stomach and a part ofthe peritoneum covering the blood the masshad been broken down by the fingers. Fromthe relations of the mass, as thus seen, it wasbelieved that the hemorrhage had proceededfrom one of the mesenteric arteries, but as itwas clear that a minute dissection would berequired to determine the particular branchinvolved, it was agreed that the infiltratedtissues and adjoining soft parts should bepreserved for subsequent study.

Om Examination sad lMsNeetioa,made in accordance with this agreement, itwas found that the fatal hermorrhaee oro--ceeded from a rent nearly feur-tenth- s of aninch long in the main trunk of the splenicartery, two inches and a half to the left ofthe cu'liac axis. The rent must have occurred at least several days before death,since the everted edges in the slit in the ves-sel were united by firm adhesions to the sur-rounding connective tissue, thus forming analmost continuous wall bounding the adjoining portion of the blood clot. Moreover,the periphera portion ot the clot in this vicinity was disposed in perfectly firm concentric layers; it was further found that the cystbelow the lower margin of the pancreas, in

hich the bullet was found, waa situatedthree inches and a half to the left of the cur-iae axis. Besides the coagulated blood.just described, another about the size of awalnut was found in the greateromentum nearthe splenic extremity of the stomach. Thecommunication between this and the largerhemorrhagic moss c uld not lie made out.The examination of the thoracic viscera resulted as follows: The heart weighed elevenounces, all the cavities were entirely emptyexcept the right ventricle, in which a tewshreds of soft, reddish, coagulated blood adhered to the internal surtace. On the sur-face of the mitral valve there were spots offattv defeneration. With this exception thecardiac valves were normal. The musculartissue of the heart was soft and toreeasily. A few spots of fatty degenerationexisted in the lining membrane ol the aortajust above the semi-lun-ar valves, and a slen-

der clot of fibrin was found in the aorta.where it was divided about two inches fromthese halves for the removal of the heart.On the right slight pleuritic adhesions ex-isted between the convex surface of the lowerlobe of the lung and costal pleura, and firmadhesions between the anterior edge of thelower lobe, the pericardium and thediaphragm. The right lung weighed thirty-tw- o

ounce. The posterior part of ihe fissure,between its upper and lower lobes, wascongeuitally incomplete. The lower lobe ofthe right lung wag hypostatically congested,aud considerable portions, especially towardits base, were the seat of bronchi-pneumoni- a.

The bronchial tube contained a con-siderable quantity of stringy mucoue pus.Their mucous surface waa reddened by catar-rhal bronchitis; the lung tissue was oedama-tou- s.

A foot-not- e here says a part at leastof this condition was doubtless due to theextravasation of the injection used by theembalmer, but contained no abscesses or in-

farctions. On the left side the lower lobe ofthe lung was bound behind to tbe costalpUura, above to the upper lobe, and belowto the diaphragm by pretty firm pleuriticadhesions. The left luug weighed twenty-seve- n

ounces. The condition of itsbronchial tube and of the lung tissuewas very nearly the same as on the rightside, the chief difference being that the areaof bronchi-pneumoni- a in the lower lobe wasmuch lea extensive in the left lung than inthe right. In the lateral part of the low. rlobe of the left lung, and about an inchfrom iu pleural surface, there was a groupof four minute area of gray hepatization,

each about one-eigh- of an inch in diame-ter. There were no infarctions and no ab-

scesses in any part of the lung tissue.About an hour after the

examination was completed, . tne physi-cians named at the commencement ofthis report assembled for further consulta-tion in an adjoining cottage. A brief out-line of the results of the exami-nation was drawn up and signed by all thephysicians and handed to Private-Secreta-ry

London Times,MESSAGE FROM THE DEAD.

A singular discovery was made in Parisone day last week, during the alterationswhich are now being carried out at the Gen-

eral Postoffice. In a panel, near one of theboxes, was found a letter which had beenposted exactly fifty years ago, and which, bysome mischance, had got stuck in the panelinstead of finding its way into the box. Theletter was duly forwarded to the party towhom it was addressed, who, still morestrangely, was alive, and received it safely.Tbe writer, however, had been dead manyyears.

'T as two and seventy years ago.When "Farmer George" was King,

And all his land a rareeshow.With blossom of the spring

The lime when lovers courting go.And little birds do sing.

They say that folks are wiser now,Aud life has grown completer.

The old days were as sweet, I trow,Ferrhauee a little sweeter.

The birds upon the cherry boughHave never changed their meter.

As eager were the hopes of men.Their joys, alas! as fleeting,

And lovers' vows as potent thenTo set girls' hearts

As tender was tbe spriug-Ume- , whenThe new-bor- n lambs were bleating.

Some things, thank God, are lingering yet.And never out of fashion.

The laws of stately etiquetteHave sared the teuder passion,

And sometimes human eyes are wetWith tears of soft compassion.

So down Time's vista, faint and far.Two lovers we descry.

Apart they staud, some sudden jarDisturbs their harmony;

A cloud hath ssed o'er Love's sweet star, -

And darkened all the sky.

The youth he watcbed his true love's faceWith angry, scornful glance;

"Adieu," he cried, "disdainful Grace,I sail for France.

Some happier man may have my place,Aud please you more, perchance."

"Adieu, sir!" said the haughty maid,"Your fancy chimes with mine,

I pray that when the anchor's weighed,The weather may be fine!

Too loug melhiiiks you have delayed.To taste the claret wine!"

And so they part, these silly souls.With bitter words and sore,

And Time's vast ocean moaning rollsBetwixt theui evermore.

And they must starve on niggard doles,Who fcai-te- heretofore.

Awhile she said, "He loves mo well,I'll die, but ueverdsubthim.

he will break the spell :He knows I could not Itout him ;"

Theu blank, eternal silence fell,tthe sighed and lived without him.

The days passed slswly into years,The bloom of youth departed.

No eye beheld her secret tears.Or saw the wound that smarted.

Hers was patient love that cheersThe sad aud broken-hearte-

When fifty years had passed awayLife's pains no more beset her;

This woman, faded, old and gray,Waits for the Life that's better.

Her maid trips in with silver tray:"Madam, a foreign letter!"

She took it, with a wondering smile, '

Into her wilnkled hand.She looked at it a little while,

she could not understand :

'Twas folded in an ancient style.The Ink was pale and tunned.

What ghost arises from the pastTo scarce that faithful breast?

A dead man's message eome at last,Bv cruel faie suppressed

"fjew God !" sheeiled, while tears fell" fast,"I'm ready for my rest."

"O love, forgive," the letter said,"I canndt leave you s,

Write but a word, ere fate le sped.Whether vou will or no;"

And then the date tbe woman read,'Twos fifty years ago!

She threw the easement open wide.This lady most forlorn ;

A robin whistled sweet outside.L pou a leafless thorn.

Ana he sang of love that had ueverdied,Aud the Resurrection morn.

Parties accused in the Star-rout- e conspiracy continue to be confident and defiant.Brady says that the information presented tothe Court yesterday is the same document asthat read to Garfield in March last, and thatit was pronounced by him as entirely toofrivolous to proceed upon. He says also thatGarfield severally forbid a proceeding by theinformation, as it would appear that theGovernment was afraid that its case was notstrong enough to go to a Grand Jury. Colonel Cook denies Brady a etory,and asserts that the mtormatiouwas never thought of till afteradjournment of the Grand Jury September1 tli. .this was a total surprise to the Attorney-Genera- l, aud none of the Governmentcounsel hesitate to impute a desire to shieldthe Star-rout- e ring to Colonel Corkhill, theDistrict-Attorne- y. They say it was earlylound necessary to conceal the details of theGovernment's case from him. So far frombeing afraid of the Grand Jury the prosecution is readv with six bills of indictmentswhich will be presented at latest by Octoberloth. Among these is a bill specially framed to cover Dorsey's proceedmgs. Attorney-Gener- ilaceagU saysthat although there was well groundedsuspfcion in regard to Corkhill's fitness forhis place previous to the shooting of Garfield, and had that event been deferred butone week, a new lnstrict-Attorne- y wouldhave been appointed. As soon as Guiteau'strial is concluded a change will be made.Corkhill is one of Hayes s appointees andowes his place to the solicitations of JusticeMiller, of the United States Supreme Court,whose daughter he married.

The Democratic Programme.Washington Post.

There is really no necessity for a prolongeddiscussion as to the organization ol the Senate one week from next Monday.

The programme, according to the statuteand precedents, is very simple and easilylearned. Ordinarily the presiding officerwould call the bodv to order. There is nopresiding officer,

' Arthur be-

ing President. In addition thereto there iano President pro tan. In their absence theSecretary of the Senate should handle thegavel. There is now, however, no Secretaryof the Senate, Mr. Btirch having died, but inhis absence the Chief ( lerk will, accordingto precedent, perform the same functions.

Called to order on October 10th, the firstbusiness will be to elect a President pro tern.The Senators who will participate in suchelection number seventy-thre- e, of whomthirty-seve- are Democrats, thirty-fou- r areRepublicans, with David Davis Independent,and Mahune "assistant Republican." ThePresident, therefore, will be a Democrat.

reit in order will be the election of aSecretary to record the proceedings. Heshould be a Democrat, and for this positionmany gentlemen are being urged.

.Next in order will be the presentation ofthe credentials of the new Senators fromNew York and Rhode Island. There willprobablv be no objection to the Senator fromRhode Island and Senator Lapham, fromNew York, but at the time of his election itwas urged against Senator Miller that he hadprocured hi election by bribery, and that thejoint'convention had not power to elect aSenator, as though it had a majority of theLegislature in attendance, when there wasnot a maioritv of the Senate present. Hisopponents allege that, to have been elected,the joint convention should have been com-

posed of a majority of both branches of thelegislature.

An objection by one Senator to the admis-sion of Miller will send his credentials tothe Committee on Privileges and Elections,who will have to report before he can be ad-

mitted. There are now no committees of theSenate, those chosen last spring by the Re-publicans expiring with the extra session. Ifthe comm'ttees have to be selected before theadmission of any new Senators, they will beDemocratic, but they will hold only duringthe extra session. The entire question ofcommittees will come up at the regular ses-sion in December, no matter what may bedone at the extra session. Then it will takeaffirmative action to constitute them, andthen, supposing the Senate to be full, therewill be a tie. There must be a compromisebetween the parties and a fair division of thecommittees before the matter can be settled.

There is absolutely no truth in any rumorsas to an or compromise or-ganization. Senator Garland, who for sometime last spring waa paired with Senator Ed-munds, is reported as agreeing with the latterthat Senator Anthony shalljoe President pro(em., the Democrats reclaiming the otheroffices, and the Republicans the . iminittees.There is not an element of fact in 'is ridicu-lous story. Senator Garland had no suchauthority, and would be the last man to pre-sume upon iu exercise. Senator Davis, ofIllinois, will act just as he did at the lastsession. Senators Slater, of Oregon, andHill, of Georgia, are expected to be present,but if not, leading Republicans assure theDemocrats that they shall be paired.

A Crank After Coukllna.New York, October 1. A merchant

named Jackson, doing business on the East

The writer expressed the opinion thatConkling deserved death, and the writer saidhe was coming to New York on the occasionof the State Convention next Wednesdayand Conkling should not be admitted, be theconsequences what they might. The PoliceCommissioners, while they do not attachmuch importance to the inatlet, will lookafter the Utica man when he comes to thecity to attend the Convention next Wednes-da- y.

recently nominated for by theDemocratic Convention. Not supposingSykes, a Democrat, would get any vote in an

Visit Swift Retributiondortr of a Jailer.

Bixxmtnoton, Iix., October 1. The longlist of bloody tragedies occurring in Bloom-ingto- n

culminated in a startlingtragedy that has thrilled the city through-out. About 0:30 this evening jailer TedFranks, then in charge of the prisoner ofthe McLean county jail, went to the cell ofone Pierce, a young man incarcerated forstealing a horse and awaiting trial. Thejailer took Pierce from his cell toremove him to another. Whilehe was escorting him there Piercesuddenly snatched Frank's pistol from the"belt" and fired three shots at him. Oneentered his back. Aa he wheeled aroundPierce fired a second shot, the ball strikinghim in the shoulder, and then fired again, thethird time the ball piercing his heart, goingclear through the body. News of the murderspread like wild fire, and by 8 o'clock a mobof 4000 or 5000 men and women surroundedtbe jail. The officers did all in their powerto restore quiet, but the mob broke into thejail and procured the murderer. With arope around his neck they. dragged him,amid the greatest excitement, to a tree nearby and lynched him. It waa feared thatPatsy Divine, in jail for the murder of AaronGood fellow, Would suffer the same penalty,but the mob dispersed without touching him.

THE 1J0ATLER H0XICIDE

At Scanlais Landing, Ark. Wbat tbeAssociate Justice Haa to bay

About It.

To the Editors of the Memphis Appeal:Marios, Aek., September 30, 1881.

Having seen in the Ledger lines that thekilling of W. T. Boatler by J. J. Ward,in this county, onlthe 2Cth instant, was pro-nounced a cold-blood- murder, I take thisopportunity of showing the falsity thereofby saying that I was invited by George W.Ward, Esq., the Justice of the township inwhich the homicide was committed, who hasissued a warrant for the arrest of the saidWard, to sit with him in the hearing ef saidcause, that the said Justice issued a subpenafor all person present at the homicide, irre-spective of color or personal feeling in re-

gard to the said Boatler, or Ward, and healso addressed a note to Mr. Henry Y. Hul-bu- t,

a lawyer, residing in that township, re-

questing him to appear and take charge ofthe prosecution of the said Ward, to dowhich be, in writing, declined. Tbe courtconvened at Scanlan s store, the place of thehomicide, on Wednesday, September 28,1881,and proceeded to investigate said case, andafter hearing the evidence of Mr. A. C.Brewer, E. J. Scanlan, M. P. Runby, JerryToohey, Elbert Harris and Dock Turner,witnesses for the State, and that of Jameslien man, J. H. Scott, and Hilliard Johnson,witnesses for the defendant, the court was ofthe opinion that the killing was in e,

because the evidence plainly showedthat on the day previous the deceased vio-lently and threateningly abused said Ward,and that at the time of the homicide the de-ceased came off the steamer James Lee witha pistol in his hand, and while checkingsome freight laid it on a box near him, atwhich time Ward came np and said, "Cap-tain Boatler, you cursed and abused me onyesterday, and said you were going to killme." Boatler replied, "Yes, you d d s nof a b h, I did say it, and I meant it"reaching for his pistol - on the box. Whenin the act of raisiug it to shoot, Ward fired,killing him. I make this statement notonly iu justice to the said Wardi but to thecourt trying him, thereby hoping to showthat no d murderer has beenturned loose upon the community.

L0WR1 AND KINO

At Okolona Yesterday Continuation ofthe ;nhernatorlal Debate Another

Victory for (Jen. Lowry.

White and Colored Democrats Tark theCob rt house to Its Utmost Seating :

Capacity Hearty Enthusiasm.

Special to tho Appeal.Okolona, Miss., October 1. The joint

debates between General and ColonelKing were continued at this placeThe courthouse, where the speaking washeld, was crowded to ite utmost capacity byan audience composed almost exclusively ofwhite and colored Democrats.

COLONEL KINOmade the opening speech, and was intro-duced by General Griffin, an old gentlemanwho haa become daft on the subjectof our national finance, and who believesif the Treasury Department were organizedupon ideas of political and financial reformevery man in the land would become amillionaire, aud we would all enjoy a Utopiandecree of prosperity and happiness never be-

fore dreamed of or enjoyed by any people onearth. Colonel King' speech was devotedalmost entirely to a narrative of what hehad heard at different points in regard toballot-bo-x stuffing and other violations ofthe election laws, and claimed that if he waaelected such fraudulent practices upon therights of the colored citizens would cease. Itwaa the most solid Democratic audiencethe Colonel bad yet encountered, and thepresent action of his most tellingpoint failed to arouse the enthusiasmof the assembly. Even his favorite anecdoteof the man who stole the bull and who waatried by a jury of whom eleven had helpedto eat the beef, the narration of which here-

tofore, told in bis inimitable way, Jias al-

ways created shouts of laughter, fell like alimp rag and elicited scarcely a smile fromhis attentive auditors.

GENERAL LOWRY WAS INTRODUCED

by Colonel A. Y. Hooper, in a brief speech,in which he handsomely eulogized Iowry,whom he said would make the best GovernorMississippi ever had. General Lowry com-

menced by saying that when iu another partof the State, new came flashing " over thewires of the violent death of a distinguishedcitizen of Okolona. Hi heart was tilledwith sadness, for with him, whom they allmourned, he had followed the banner ofthe Confederacy through fonr years of warwherein he had learned to love and admirethe man whose death, by the handof an assassin, waa deplored notonly here in Okolona, but by the peopleall over the broad extent of Mississippiwho never had a braver defender or a moreupright, patriotic citizen than Okolona'schivalrous soldier-statesma- General Wil-

liam T.Tucker. The subject of internalimprovement and other questions of vitalimportance to the development and advance-ment of the State were next eloquently dis-cussed, and when they had been forcibly pre-sented and the policy of hi administrationoutlined and pledged to the carrying of themout, he turned hi attention to Colonel King,and the Republican and Greenback partiesthat nominated King, and for the next hour hedirected such a terrific fire into the enemy'scamp that the little squad who were presentcapitulated unconditionally, and, with theexception of General Gritfin, who still holdsthe Greenback fort in this county, but whichis garrisoned only by himself, they willhereafter march under the banner of De-

mocracy.COLONEL KINO'S REJOINDER

was, as usual, able and ingenious, but theaudience, though attentive and decorous,was unsympathetic and solidly opposed tohim, and he therefore spoke at a disadvan-tage.

The Grand Jury now in session at thisplace have just indicted for murder the col-ored bov, Houston Parish, accused of tbe as- -

sassination of General Tucker. The evidence against him is purely circumstantial, but such is Ihe bitterness againsthim where Tucker was so highly esteemedthat the probabilities are that he will neverbe arraigned before a court. e visited him

THE OTHER HALF

"I understand, Mr. Conners," said the re-

porter, "that you held half of ticket No. 43,713, which drew the capital prize in theLouisiana Lottery.
