Humors to the effect that the Presi dent's mental faculties are seriously impaired have been circulated for sev eral days, but no difmite word haa been let fall until to-day from those who have the case directly in charge. When the first suggestions were let fall by the press and a controversy was begun as to the succession of Vice-President Arthur, they 'were a little premature. The cabinet have unquestionably ex perienced uneasiness and doubt as to this ; peculiar complication. The doc tors settled the matter temporarily by inducing the President to write his name and the date, of which fact a great parade was made. Shortly after ward the President was encouraged to write a letter to Ms mother at Mentor. It is said that these incidents were of" fered to snow the country that the President's mind was not only unim paired, but that he perfectly understood everything that was going on and was equal to any emergency that might arise in which his signature as Presi dent of the United States might be re quired. To more fully illustrate this he signed an extradition paper by which a noted forger was to be brought from Canada and placed within the ju- fintcost Bargains in store for those who will risdiction of the United States. This was the last official act of Mr. Garfield. The fact that he was able to execute public documents was cited, and has oinu hnan insfanPB OA f.nTiflri.li Vft Ml at I NAlflrto !

It was admitted that.no matter what physical misfortune overtook the Pres ident, bo long aa his mind was unim paired so long as he could Use a pen intelligently, and even so long as he could give directions for the conduct of public business in case of any emer gency, there was no need of an acting President in his stead and the disabili ty contemplated by the constitution could not reasonably be said to exist Noth withstanding evidences of Pres ident Garfield's continued ability to dis charge such functions pertaining to his omce xjie discussion uaa giuwu m im pit tance until it has divivded the attention of the cabinet with the critical condition of the President. To-day it is definitely ascertained that the President is helpless, both mentally and physically. He is unable to grasp what is going on around him. His mma is wandering and he is only occasionally in ' the en joyment of lucid intervals. He is una ble to put his hand to a pen. Hisnerei are all gone. He could not sign a call for a session of Congress. He could not sign a legal document that would stand in any court of justice when it should be contested. This admission of his physicians is said here to be a compe tent certificate that the disability con templated by the constitution now ex ists the same as if the President were nTnnnnnfiftd insane. An eminent law yer, whose personal sympathies can t be said to be with either faction of the Republican party, said to your corres pondent to-day that under recent de vftinTfmftnts there was no question but what it was the right and duty of Mr. Arthur to take upon himself the func tions of the executive omce unui me President was declared by his physi cians capable of performing the same forhimselfc - .- WITHOUT A PRESIDENT.

The plainest nty-of ithe cabinet as 1 awvpra and Dublic officers is to recog nize existing facts and . invite Mr. Ar thur to come to the national capital and confer with them, it is not enougn, says this eminent legal authority, that an emergency wnicn requires mo per sonal attention and official action,of the President may not at this moment exist. It may exist before midnight or to-morrow noon or next week. The constitution is plain and admits of no dodging or escape. It does not contain any proviso that some public business of an urgent nature must first exist before the Vice-President is called in, but it is instantaneous in operation as soon as the presidential disability is known to exist. I will say in addition I think the suggestion thrown out in your dispatches some time ago when the President was being paraded as yet able to sign his name and comprehend beyond question what ' was going on that a call for the assembling of Con gress should be signed in provision for the emergency, which would now ap pear to exist, was a very wise one. There may be no danger, but the coun try is not justified in voluntarily as suming any risk. President or no President, the country would feel easier with its elected representatives in legal session." Here is a practical view of the situation.

While at Santa Cruz last week we had the pleasure of seeing Miss Alice Boston the champion lady swimmer; in her exploits over the waves. Last Wednesday was her 18th birthday. She was raised in Santa Cruz ; goes into the surf summer and winter. She is small in height and weight, being light built, and has every appearance of a young school girl, not representing the mas culine strength of some girls. She wears a bathing suit of light material, worn loosely around her body. She plays with the breakers like a sea euH: On her last birthday she swam a mile into the bav with Mr. Joe Enright and returned ; not fatigued in the least, while her partner became much wear ied and caused her much alarm. This was considered quite a feat for so young a girl. Yesterday it was announced that she was to take a much longer swim and go alone. It drew many anxious eyes to the beach, who - bad heard but not seen. She was late entering the water, and the visitors became anxious. At a few minutes past 'U o'clock she came out and darted ttiroueh the breakers like a fish. After playing for a few minutes near the shore she was seen to move forth into the . sea. Many were the glasses that went to anxious eyes to watch her movements. oon nothing but a black speck could be seen,- A vessel lay upon the waters a mile and a half from the shore,, an4 she seemed heading in that direction. Women be came nervous. for she might cramp and go down. No one expected tier to, co out as -far as the vessel ana return, But ere long the little black spot came up to the side of that vesseL She swan out around it and then .started for shore. When she had. reaehed about one-third of the way in, a seal was seen immediately in her path. The catch ers became anxious lest it should frighten her and cause her to drown. But no; she moved on ; near it and n fiver seemed to care. It was getting late, but no one would leave the beach until they saw her safely landed. She finished the three miles, darted a time or two through the breakers and trotted off. to the dressing room as though she had, been out but a few minutes.
