OUR HALF SHEET: It has been a custom in The Obser ver establishment for twelve years to give its employes the 4th of July, and we suspended Sunday morning with that intention, but in view of the in tense interest pervading all classes of our people in regard to the condition of the President,- we issue a half sheet this morning containing such informa tion as had come to hand up to 12 o'clock last night. THE PRESIDENT'S ASSASSINATION Speaking as a Southerner and in the name of Southern people, we deplore the assassination of President Garfield, and whether it is successful in taking his life or not, wemust hope that there is not, in all this broad South land, a single individual who is so lost to all sense of sympathy towards the Presi dent of this country as to rejoice over the attack upon his life. And yet-the attack has been made in broad, open daylight ; in the capital of the nation, and in the full blaze of the civilization of the XlXth century. A crazy lunatic sends a bullet, at least on the errand of murder, into the mortal frame of the one man who writes, his name as President of these United States, and the one life which stands between Arthur, Conkling and Grant a3 the rulers of this country, and a na tion weeps, not idle tears, but agoniz ing tears. Can we, will we believe that this is one of the accidents of life, or shall we believe that "There Is a divinity that shapes our ends, Bough hew them how we will," Or shall we go further and find if we can any pretext upon which to base a reasonable conclusion for so base an act of treachery, not to say of revolu tion. "They have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind," were not truer words in the days of Ilosea, than in the days of Garfield and Wash ington corruption. If we go back only a few short years we find Mr. Garfield, as one of the chosen, trusted leaders of his party in Congress, pouring out vituperation and maledictions, cause lessly and untruthfully, upon a large section of those who ought to have been his own people. And if we could forgive him for the DeGolyer fee, and the $329 transaction, his record in the Louisiana infamy is enough to damn the character of the vilest politician on this earth. And then with all this black record,his partisans smothered the voice of the nation by a system of bribery and corruption, known only to the disciples of his party, and shame lessly bought his way into the White House, while a nation stood aghast at the infamy thus crowned with seeming success. No one dreamed of the assassin's bullet, but the history of the world furnishes no instance where power has been peacefully enjoyed that has been thus secured, and Mr. Garfield's in cumbency of the highest office within the gift of the people could not furnish us with an exception to the rule. With in the four short months since his in auguration he ha3 seen his party rent in twain, and he himself lies to-day a monument to his own infamy. Thank God no Southern man has been impli eated in this deed for which the nation justly blushes, but thrice thankful are we that no Southern statesman's name is tarnished with any such record a3 emblazons the political escutcheon of James A. Garfield, tt id omne, in their mad thirst for power. These are harsh words to write of a dead or dying pres ident, but it is our duty to write the truth and: "No soul can soar too loftily whose aim Is God given Truth, and brother love of man." Living, the South expected nothing from James A. Garfield beyond a parti san administration of this great gov ernment, dead, it expects little more of his successor. We have felt the shaft, and drained to the dregs, the cup of partisanship, but the South, true to her manhood, will uphold the principles of the constitution, as interpreted by her statesmen, and write high up on the temple of liberty at wliich we worship, that the perpetuation of republican government on American soil, does not depend ou the life of any man. ro est mort; vice le roL The government lives. Partisanship will pass away. We will becogie united people, under the Providence of God, whether it be by furnishing a lunatic to assassinate partisan rulers or whether it be by teaching common justice to those who are called upon to administer our laws. Laws will be enacted which will be less sectional, and judicial officers will administer them under ihe broad -palladium of constitutional limitations, in the inter eats of justice and for the good of everv patriot North or South.

Of course hundreds are at hand to render all service for the patient, but if I can aid in even the most trivial way, command me I entreat you, and dear madam, believe me, Most respectfully, Clara Morris. Executive Mansion, July 4, 10 a. m. The feeling of suspense which pre vailed late last night among those at the Executive Mansion was relieved somewhat by the official bulletin is sued this morning. This was plainly observable in a more hopeful expres sion of their faces after reading the bulletin. Among others present when the bulletin came from the physicians were becretary vvindom. Postmaster James, Gen. McVeagh, Gen. Swain, Marshal Henry, and Col. Rockwell. Postmaster General James particularly seemed more hopeful and expressed himself much more hopefully than he did at a late hour last night. Secretary Windom says he never losthope.though his anxiety at midnight last night was intense, lie felt then that the case was extremely critical, but he has always believed that the President's courage, calmness Of mind and great vitality would carry him through safely. "If, he says, "The injuries are to prove fatal it seems to me that we should have had an increase of dangerous symptoms last night, instead of a slight improvement which we hnd this morn ing." Washington. July 4. Dr. liliss. one of the President's physicians, author izes the positive contradiction of a rumor in circulation to the effect that he has stated that President Garfield's case is practically hopeless, and that there is no use misleading people Executive mansion, 10:50 The physicians have succeeded in relieving the pain in the feet and legs of which the President this morning complained, and which was due to the injury of nerves leading to the lower extremities. The symptom was not regarded as a dangerous one, but the pain if allowed to continue might act unfavorably by causing restlessness. The President's condition in other respects has not changed since the date of the last offi cial bulletin. He is now resting quietly and his physicians continue to be cheerful and" hopeful. Secretary Lincoln is quoted by the morning papers as saying at 2 a. m. that "Hope was dead. He, however, denies having made any such remark, and says that while his anxiety at mid night last night was intense, and while he was alarmed at the unfavorable turn which the President's condition seemed to be taking, he at no time lost hope, and that this morning he does not see why the President's chances of recovery are not as good as at any timo sine he was shot. Mrs. Garfieli had a good night's rest last night, and is at her husband's bed side this morning, feeling refreshed and cheerful. Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C. 11:50 a. m. There is no material change in the President's condition. Dr. Agnew, an eminent surgeon of Philadelphia, who came here this morning to consult with the President's attending physicians, says that in his judgment there are some features of the President's case, which are ex tremely encouraging. Among these is the fact that the kidneys and intestines are entirely uninjured, and capable of performing their functions. The liver is lacerated to some extent and the large nerves leading from the spine to the lower extremities have been so in jured as to cause pain which the Presi dent refers to his reet. ne stomacn, however, retains nourishment and the patient is slowly gatnenng strength to meet secondary inflamation when it occurs. As yet there is little evidence of it. and nothing to indicate that it will be of extraordinary extent or severity. Dr. Agnew regards the President's condition with much hope fulness. Executive Mansion. 12:20 p. m. Attorney-General MacVeagh gives in the following words what he unaer stands to be the opinion of Dr. Agnew, with reeard to the President's condi tion: "The President's oondition I re card as extremely critical, but not without hope." Secretary Blaine has just sent the following telegram to the representa tivesof the United States in London and Paris: "An important consultation was held this morning, at which Dr. Agnew, or Philadelphia, and Dr. Hamilton, of New York, able and skillful surgeons were present. The result is not reas suring, though the conclusion was that recovery is possible. We do not give up hope, (bigned) blaine, Secretary." Executive Mansion, l2ftTnly 4. Dr. Bliss in conversation on toe Presi dent's condition at this hofar says that while the case is still critical, there is every reason for hope of his recovery? and considering the nature oi tne wounds the situation is favorable as it possibly could be. Regarding the crisis the doctor said: "If the President passes through to-day witbout losing strength it willDe exceedingly encouraging. The crisis, however, cannot be definitely fixed as there may be a change at any time." ; The doctor said that examina t.inns which have been made confirm the opinion that the xiajl is located in, ine neiguuumuuu fwo jiyti. ..

Of course we cannot venture an opinion, hence we aim to bulletin facts as they appear from time to time, for the purpose of permitting the pub lic to draw their own conclusions through the aid of the medical fraterni ty." 12.15 p. m. Dr. Pomerine an eminent surgeon of Ohio, whoserved-as-surgeon in Gen. Garfield's regiment during the war, saw the..

The last "official bulletin issued regarding thcfPresident's condi tion is considered by the medical pro fession to be quite eneourasrine and sig nificant of favorable results. The Presi dent has been kept very quiet during the day, not even his sons are admitted to his room. It is considered by many that the present is the most critical mo ment and every precaution is being ta ken to prevent noise or excitement of every character . in and about the Ex ecutive Mansion. -Dr, Bliss remarked o a cabinet onltietsfeortly after the one o'clock bulletiufiw&fr issued that there were less evidences: of peritonitis now than when the eight o'clock bulletin was written. 2 :25 p. m. The President awakened from sleep a few moments since and said to Dr. Bliss who stood by his bed side : "Doctor, I feel better than I have at any time since I was wounded." 2:4op m The attending physicians continue to express a hopeful opinion of the President's case. Peritonitis has not supervened as yet and there are no more indications of it than there were this morning. The condition of the President therefore althou eh critical, is no worse than was to be expected. Executive Mansion. The Secre tary of State has just sent the following dispatch : To Hon. Amos Townsend, Cleveland, O, ine I'resiuents condition has not materially changed since morning. At this hour half past two he is suffer ing less pain.

The Secretary of State has received from Count Lippi (Austrian Charge de Affairs) a telegraphic communication conveying an expression of sympathy of his government with toe .Fresiaent and people of the United States. Executive Mansion, 4.30 p. m. Dr. Woodward in conversation with Secre tary Hunt about fifteen minutes ago said there was no perceptible change in the President and that his symptoms were very favorable. Executive Mansion, 5.15 p. ro. The President partook of a quantity of chicken broth a short time ago and has retained it. He is resting about the samea3 when his condition was last reported. 6.20 p. m. mere is strong reeling outside of the White House that the President's condition is more critical at this time than it has yet been. This impression rests undoubtedly on re marks privately made by those who are conversant with the case and whose avenues of information are of the best possible character. No official bulletin will be probably issued at present and it is held the physicians in attendance are deferring a bulletin that a change for the better will occur shortly. The anxiety which has been very in tense all this evening has certainly deepened a great deal in the last hour, and in the city at least, gravest appre hensions are entertained of a fatal issue. Executive Mansion. 9 :20 The Pres ident's condition to-night is admitted by his attending physicians to be more unfavorabla than it has been during the day, but the change is not regarded as especially alarming, for the reason that the increased pulse and tempera ture which are its most marked tea tures were observed at about the same time Saturday afternoon and on last afternoon and last night. The day, too, has been extremely warm and close, and the President has been more or less restless from that cause, and the pain due to the laceration of the nerves leading to the feet. The attending physicians are very reluctant to ex press any positive opinion upon the facts stated in to-night s official bulle tin. but thev are hopeful that the tern perature will fall and the pulse grow less rapid during the night as was the case., last night, "and that the condition of the patient to-morrow mor ning will not be worse than it was this morning should these anticipations be realized. The attending physicians say they have very strong hopes of the President's final recovery. Since the date ef the last official bulletin (7:45) p. m.) his temperature apd pulse have slightly decreased, whichi? taken as an indication that the vieSTtbova expressed are not without foundation: At the present time all that can he p03 8tively said is that the .situation df the President is critical, but that there are indications of an abatement of unrav; nrable symptoms. Postmaster General James 'and Sec retary Hunt'express themselves as con-: fidently hopeful that the President's condition will improve "during- the night as it did last night, and that there will then be very strong reasons for expecting his final recovery. !

As the President, accompanied bv Secretary Blaine, was entering the de pot of the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad at Washington Saturday mor ning to take the train for Long Branch, 1 -1 A. A 1 - ue was auot iwice oy a man namea Charles Jules Guiteau, who had been lying in wait for him. This occurred at 9 :20 a.m. The first ball from the assassin's revolver struck the Presi dent near the left shoulder and passed out by the shoulder blade ; the second struck him in the back over the left kidney. The President turned at the first shot and fell forward on his knees at receiving the second bullet. Post master-General J ames and others of his party who had preceded him rush ed to his assistance. The assassin was instantly overpowered and arrested. The President was carried to a room on the floor above, medical aid was summoned and stimulants administer ed. The ereat. strons man thus baselv stricken down soon rallied from the shock and was borne in an ambulance to the White House, where efforts were made to ascertain the nature of the wounds. The gravest fears were en tertained. The patient remained con scious, conversed cheerfully and hope fully, but his pulse was high, he was suffering some pain and internal hem orrhage wa3 believed to be taking place. Morphine was hypodermically injected and he became easier. AT THE DEPOT. The first shot not being noticed by the President or his companion, the second and the fatal one found Mr. Blaine on the sill of the door, who in stantly called for help. It is believed that the second shot was intended for Secretary Blaine. Guiteau wanted to be consul at Paris. Last fall he bored Blaine with simple-minded letters pro posing to take the stump in Maine, and was not regarded as a useful man in the campaign. He has been stopping at the Riggs House, and has shown no peculiarities during hi3 stay to lead to the belief that he is of unsound mind. Secretary Blaine's private secretary says from what he knows of-the per sistent appeals of Guiteau that he must have intended to shoot Blaine. The second shot gave him a very-narrow escape. Col. Jameson, who was to have had charge of the President's party, was the first to communicate the sad news to the cabinet officers. From the scene to the rear of the train was a distance ftf perhaps 200 feet. As though drawn oy an mvisioie power tne presi dential party in a second was surging ioward the room where the prostrate lorm of the President lay. Five mem bers of the eabinet were then present, Messrs. Blaine, Windom, Lincoln, Hunt and J ames. in a tew minutes Attor ney-General MacVeagh, who was at his office when the deed was done, had ar rived. The President's son Harry, scarcely realizing what had happened, for but little blood ten trom the wounds, stood ready to fight or die in his father s defence. The scene beg gars description. A beautiful summer morn, warm and tranquil as the face of nature in early spring, encouraged the brightest tnougnta and nappiest feel ings in the hearts of the company that was to journey with the President. Now their countenances were black with sorrow. "President Garfield as sassinated," exclaimed Secretary Hunt. "Impossible." No, if a meteoric stone had singled him out as its victim it could not be more- improbable. Secre tary Lincoln realized in an instant his position. The son of an assassinated President and the Secretary of War of another victim by the assassin's hand, he quickly gave the order for the troops stationed at the arsenal to hold them selves for immediate orders. The same was done by the Secretary of the Navy, who directed that the marines should be held for similar orders. Meanwhile word was sent to Surgeon General Barnes, Drs. Norris, Lincoln and Woodward, requiring their imme diate presence at the depot. With the messengers trooping over the pave ments it was not long before every part of Washington was informed of what had happened,' and the fact be came generally known. - Then a crowd soon assembled, and in less than ten minutes Sixth street and B street were f acked with people, and the news of he horrible affair flew from mouth to mouth and spread over the city like wildfire. An attempt was made to rush into the building and cries were raised to lynch the assassin, but a strong force of policemen, summoned by telephone, iff0fc anfl Soft gtitrthxfl xnm oBtjft&vm job dxpabthknt Hu been thoroughly rappllad wtth efery mm ' ant, and with the latest strta of Type, and ererj mama of Job Printing ow now be done with neatneaa, dispatch and eheapntM.
