TUB VOICE OF IiAITIENTATlON.
There comes to, us from the whole:
country but' one sentiment, bat one:
opinion, but one prayer. Everybody
deplores the great calamity and crime
ana every ooay prays ior tne saieiy
and restoration of the President. iLyen
iSob lngersolJ, the blatant infidel,
stood appalled in view of the great
horror and the . impending ruin, and
said from his heart "GOD save the
country P1 j ";
We are profoundly thankful that
no Southerner has been implicated or
can be implicated in the crime. Gui
teau proclaims himself "a Stalwart of
the Stalwarts." lie is a Republican
of the Grant-Conkling wing. The
impudent scoundrel, after he thought
he had killed the President, said
"Arthur is now President." Arthur.
1 i - ,., -1
like Guiteau, is a Stalwart of the
Stalwarts and belongs to the Grant-
Conkling wing.
If thej President recovers, as the
whole country most anxiously desires
and every religious heart prays for,
what sort of. ounishment is to be
meted to the. attempted murderer,
supposing him not to be clearly in
sane? " -'
THB PRESIDENT'S CONDITION.
Our telegraphic dispatches bring
the exceedingly gratifying intelli
gence that the condition of the Pres
ident is improved greatly. On Sun
day night his case was very critical
and the gravest fears were felt as to
the result. On Tuesday night, thanks
to a merciful j Providence, his condi-
good reason for anticipating his re-
overy. Blest with a fine constitu-
ion that has never ; been abused he
las probably escaped death and will
be spared to his family and the coun-
ry. Every man with proper feelings
h-with half a heart will rejoice in the
prospect. The universal expressions
f sympathy and apprehension are
oush to tolich the hardest heart.
e have no donbt that if President
arfield is raised up from the peril
ous bed upon which he has lain since
aturday , morning last be will be a
viry different man in many respects.
r man could approach the very
border line of life and then come
babk to htalth amid the gratulations
anp thanksgivings of fifty-two mil-
lioia of people, of all races and all
sections and all parties, without be
ing deeply touched. It is enough to
make a patriot of any. man, and
ought to be enough to so chasten
ana discipline as to cause the whole
current of a
man's
life to change.
Wl
look for better things for a
purfer and wiser . and broader admin-
istrittion of the scovernment.
A BOUT, A BATTLE.
(Jen. Longstreet has been inter
viewed on the subject of Mr. Davis's
woijk. He is mild and , respectful in
what he says, j His account of what
occirred really at the first battle of
Mafassas is in harmony with what
we pave heard and : read.; His
sior! differs" from the ex-President's
and' is more in accordance, with known
facts. Ha contradictB Gen Jo John-
stol as toT5ne important point. Ge
tionpsion says mere was no order to
pursue. But Genl Longstreet says
thai he reoeived orders to advance
and that he crossed Bull Run arid
moved toward Centreville, and was
about to i open fire, J when he was
ordered to fall back again. He thonght
thejorder to fall back must be a mis-
!? ikepu ma pusiLiou until tno
order was repeated. 4 All was coi
tusion in both armies. He says, the
Cofederate leaders did not know how:

come so soon after defeat, and: the
latter did not realize the strength
y ;"'g"i nave put . iortn, or the
success they had obtained in the after

Logstreet is clearly of the Opinion
thai Beauregard was whipped; in the
af trrioon arid says that Beauregard

cover his retreat: But the arrival of
JoD8t.b?,a force's changed the defeat

would have been disastrouVo oar
arms and I McDowel ( j wilb his hand -
cuff g, would-have entered Richmond
Geo. Beauregard, with a small, and
not well .disciplined force, was ood-
tending; against three times its nam-
bers, and was. furthermore taken at
a great disadvantage by the admira
ble tactics of :the Federal comman
der, who crossed higher op than was
expected, thus disarranging the : plan
of battle of the Confederate General.
TISSUE BALLOTS.., ' f
We have given hoattentiorTto" Vhe
off, repeated, charge in some of, the
Horthem Republican papers that
there were tissue 'ballots cast in : the
1 ate election in South Carolina for ia
member of f Congress in the Charles-
I ton District: The News and Courier
denies the charge most emphatically.
i it says there ; were no tissue ballots
and no intimidation was used,and that
the statements that such' ballots were
printed ia its office are unfounded It
says the. "Democratic tickets ' were
printed on what is technically known
as .'French . folio paper, which" has
been used for the regular Democratic
ballots .' in z several "ucoessTve tate
elections. ' These facts can be estab
lished in any way that, is .required.."
The Boston Journal a Republican
paper always , swift to misrepresent
and abuse the Sooth, is most active
in j repeating these charges. f The
News and Courier very properly re
minds it of the real condition of afr
fairs in its own State,
case as follows:
it puts the
"There are frauds at elections in Massa
chusetts, however, and the Journal will find
in its own State and city ample room for
missionary work. Let put its own house
ia oraer. At tne- state election in Massa
chusetts when B. F. Butler was a candidate
there was such proscriptipn' of : voters and
such intimidation, by Kepttbricans, as have
never been equalled in the South. It is
true that the victims in Massachusetts Were
white men, but we submit that the white
citizens of the 'Baytate'Jiave some right
to protection, even 11 tne Journal cannot
work itself .up ; to ihe pitch of having for
them the jealous regard that it has for the
rights and privileges of the negroes. : -
The Augusta Factory, for such is
its name although there are others in
that Georgia town, has ' made.- its
annual report, : and it is another
confirmation of all the! Stab hasdaid
about the peculiar adaptibilitv of the

encouragement to others,and we hope
that there will , be fpand: enterprise'
and activity enough in North Caro
lina to erect, just such
mills and on a
scale - equally large.
The Augusta
Factory is Owned by a company and
is jmanaged by a man of brains and
experience. The report is full, mi
nute, embracing every particular. A
quarterly dividend of 2 per cent was
declared. ; The gross earnings were
$138,442.00. ' The President of the

There were 175 pupils--60 boarders

should schools look to North Carolina
for patronage and go abroad to. have

bring out the strength of will' f and

ing earthly can withstand them. The
attempt of au assassin to over throw
the will of the people or, to paralyze
the operations of Government or to
affect seriously the prosperity, glory
and happiness of the country is as
iqtile 1 as the' effort of the fly on the
huge wheel is to stop its revolutions.;
In Bpite of all NibilistB the world'

1 But why should any dream that the
life, of the Government i' in an-u-
Bense locked up or involved in - the
life, of any one individual, however
illustrious or- exalted he may" be?
None but madmen "could hope to
gain anything by destroying . an!
agent of the people. .The recent at-i
Jtempt toi Itake the. fife of. President
Garfield will serve to" strengthen our
Government abroad, as it has tended
certainly to' unite, and solidify it at
home. .When the Chief Magistrate
was shot dowor the. mighty heart of
the people gave a tremendous throb
if sympathy; and horror. J Party
lines were as nothing ; sectional lines
were . forgotten ; from North to
South, from the Pacific to the At
lantic, the great people rose up in
.anguish, and - one grand, united,
spontaneous outburst of sympathy,
admiration and fear went up as from
one voice and from one heart.
; Shall this lesson be lost ? Shall
the North oontinue to doubt and

and defamation continne to be the
staple of Northern Stalwart papers
and Us ! correspondents ? : Shall the
President himself j when restored

loicings and shootings of . a whole
people, fail to gather from all this
higher purposes and inspiration? We
hope not. Shall the lesson, be lost
upon him. We wilt not believe it ?

to eat. He called this afternoon for beef
steak, but upon beiog told it va9 not
thought prudent at present to allow hi m to
eat such hearty food, he grumbled a little,
but consented to compromise upon an egg
and say no more about it. JThe egg was
given him. He wished" also" to lcnunr this
afternoon whether he could not be permit

generally a disposition i to - ulk, which his

Washington, July 3. There is
still considerable' doubt as to Gui
teau a insanity. w Circumatances: Ide-
yeloped by the examination of hi
t . Wowon. ox 4ni8
papers showtbat ifhe is,. there is
metriod. in his madness. . The impres
sion that he was but a tool in the
bands of others still prevails to a
great extent..., The fact that all the
letters in his package would tend to
show that the writer, was . insane
causes the 'suspicion that they were
pat up for that purpose. - He told
the hackman that he .wanted him to
drive' to Congressional Cemetery
When; he got in', and it is thought by
some that he had an Idea of escaping1
by taking the railroad at one of the
stations beyond; the city limits, or. if
luu.uiUHeiy presseato, save his neck

after alibis experience in the line of
insanity and some say that that is
his specialty as a lawyer), he cannot
yet see the first indication of insani
ty in this case. All the facts point
to a deliberately, framed plan of asi
sassination, accompanied by the pre-l
paration of means to escape and simu
lftted defence! based upon pretended
insanity.
, ; Guiteau still, maintains the same
exterior as of yesterday, and actsaa
he did then. j. The American corres
pondent had a talk this morning
with an officer of the Secret Service
who spent some time with him W:
night. In the opinion of this officer
Guiteau is a crazy political fanatic'
and nothing more, and he (the offi
ce1") scouts the idea that there was a
plot, or that the man who did the
shooting had confederates. ' Guiteau
says to-day, as he did yesterday, that
he had, no grudge against the Presi
dent, but that the latter had not done
what was right, and for the good of
the country he was forced to "rAl.iro1
him these being his exact words.: j
