For till JOUKNAI.. ;iiri(i:iu I'nlriof ism. i;y tub i:kv. hkanklin riEiici:. Ah Amcricaus we hnve never learned to distinguish country, from government. A government of the people, by the people, and for the people, is home and native land to us, and to subserve it we deem the highest style of patriotism. It is of thi6 Bort of patriotism that we shall speak. AVe cannot think of a Democracy as n collective whole, but, as a col lection of parts. The character of the parts.will determine the charac ter of the whole, just as the grains, of which a piece of metal is com posed, will indicate whether the lump is gold or iron. The moral citizen makes the moral govern ment; the Christian determines the government as Christian ; the citi zen who rules his 6pirit, is a law unto himself, has the strength of self-control, insures the stability and perpetuity of republican institu tions. Fundamental, then, to self government, is the sell-governing citizen. A free government com posed of libertines and lawbreakers, of rogues and rioters, is an impossi bility. Even a majority of that clans would induce anarchy : Hence, the true aim of the patriot is (o produce the self-governing citizen. But how shall he accomplish this? What docs experience teach? Edu cation and philosophy, deism and athelnm, Judaism and heathenism have all failed to tit a people to govern itself. The Hebrew com monwealth, entering upon its career under the fair auspices of liberty, and the best code of laws ever framed, gravitated steadily toward despotism. The Roman Republic, boasting her strength, vaunting her freedom, flaunting her learniug, cul ture, and eloquence, had but a fitful existence, and was at last quenched iu tho Empire. Frauco, wavering between an atheism, on the one hand, which sought freedom iu the widest, wildest license, tho total ab sence of restraint, and a radicalism, on the other, which, exalting reason above Revelation, the human above Divine, would make man subject to a fraction of himself, has already crouched beneath the iron tyranny of three Bonapartcs, and the end is not yet. Each of these experiments was characterized by a common error. Thoy confounded the individual with tho muss, treated the nation as a unit, inptead of an assemblage of units, and, working from without inward, endeavored to affect men through man. Christianity, alone, reversing the order, has first entered and regenerated tho heart, recon structed the individual, taught him to respect his own rightR, the rights oT others, and tho law of right, dis ciplined him in subjection to con science and to Goil, sent him forth a self-poised, self-mastering power, a radiating center of influence. It is of citizens such as this that Republics are made. Christianity alone can furnish them. Therefore, the true patriot must be a Christian patriot, and, his work is to so bring Christianity into tho lines of the people, as to develop the self-governing principle in the individual. Through the person, wc give shape and form to the assemblage. If Christianity is the lever, the indi vidual is the fulcrum by which the masses are to be elevated. To take men ono by one, as Jcsub Christ did at Jacob's well, or at Bethany, or in tho midnight converse with Xicode inus, this is the ideal method for the Christian patriot. "What would you say of tho sculptor who should d ump a whole carload of marble blocks iuto a hopper, shake them about until tho corners were knocked off, and call that sculpture? No; the true artist will single out his block, bring his clear conception, vigorous thought, living soul to bear upon it, till tho dead marble glows with in fused life. So the patriot artist will bring his own pure ideals, glowing enthusiasm, burniug love to bear, even a9 Elisha stretched himself upon tho Sliutuynite's dead son, uu til ho has fashioned the object of his solicitude to his conception, and made him in turn a moldcrof others. This is the high calling of the Chris tian patriot; not to shoot at long range through the newspaper press, move the cumbrous machinery of government to promote imaginary reforms, nor do surface work in the stable of politics ;but,to come augean close down in warm,loving, patient, potent contact with living men, in spiring nobler thoughts, infusing fresh hope, lifting up holier patterns of truth and courage, animating the whole personal with renewed vigor, oven as the freshening spring time revivifies the frost smitteu landscape. This is employment fit for those royal one whofind their meat and drink in intrepid deeds of heroism and self-sacrifice. "What soul so dead that it is not thrilled with unwonted enthusiasm for coun try, hope for liberty, assurance for humanity, when contemplating the silent army of bloodless heroes, scattered like leven in every part of our land, who find, in unselfish la bora for the good of men, their pastime, and their reward I Do any say that this is an ideal painting? that I havo described an unpractical and impracticable life? a goal impossible of attainment? It is because their hearts are ice, and not fire; they have not yet learned of the humble toiler of Judea, who came from heaven to do this very work, while on earth sounded every lowest depth of human degradation, bound himself to hum-inityby chains of steel which eternity shall not cor rode, and left behind, as a living bequest to the uge?, the sweet suvor of the grandest example, of tho most sublime form of Christian Patriotism. An Official Account. The following is the statement of United States District Attorney Corkhill, of Washington, who says the following is a just and accurate statement of the points referred to : "The assassin, Charles .T. Guiteau, came to Washington Sunday even ing, March G, 1S81, and stopped at the Ebbit house, remaining only one day. He then secured a room in another part of the city and has boarded and roomed at various places, full details of which I have. Wednesday, May IS, I8S1, the assas sin determined to murder the presi dent. He had neither money nor a pistol at that time. About the last of May he went to O'Meara's store and examined some pistols, asking for the largest calibre. He was shown two similar in calibre and only differeut iu price. Wednesday, June 8, he purchased the pistol which he used, for which he paid $10, he having iu the meaulime bor rowed .$15 of a gentleman iu this city on the plea thai he wanted to pay his board bill. On the same cveuiug, about 7 o'clock, ho took the pistol and went to the foot of 17th street and practiced by firing at a board, firing ten shots. He returned to his boarding house and wiped the pistol and wrapped it in his coat and waited his opportunity. Sun day morning, June 12th, he was sitting in Lafayette park and saw the president leave for the Christian church, on Vermont avenue, aud he at once returned to his room, ob tained his pistol, put it in bi3 hip pocket, and followed the president to church. He entered the church, but found he could not kill him there without danger of killing some one else. He noticed tho president got near a window. After church ho made an examination of the window and found that he could reach it without any trouble and that from this point he could shoot the presi dent through the head without kill ing anyone else. The following Wednesday he went to church, learned the location and window, and became satisfied that he could accomplish his purpose, and deter mined to make tho attempt the fol lowing Sunday. He learned from the papers that the president would leave the city Saturday, the ISth of June, with Mrs. Garfield for Long Branch. He therefore determined to meet him at the depot. He left his boarding house about 5 a. m. Saturday, Juno 18th, and went down to the river at the foot of Seven teenth street and fired five shots to practico his aim and be certain hiB pistol was in good order. He then went to the depot and was in tho ladies' waiting room of the dopot with his pistol ready when the pres ident and party entered. Ho saw Mrs. Garfield looked so weak and frail that he had not tho heart to vlinol the president in her presence, aud as ho know he would have an other chance he left the depot. lie had previously engaged a carriage to tako him to jail. Wednesday evening the president and his son, aud I think United States Marshal Henry, went out for a ride. The assassin took his pistol and followed them and watched them for some time in the hopes that the carriage would stop, but no opportunity was given. On Friday evening, July 1st, he was sitting on a seat in the park opposite the white house.when he saw tho president come out alone. He followed him down the avenue to Fifteenth street,and then kept on the opposite side of the street, up Fifteenth, until the president enter ed the residence of Secretary Blaine. He awaited at the corner of Mor ton's late residence, corner Fifteenth and IT, for somo time, and then, as he was afraid he would attract at tention, he went into the alley in the rear of Morton's house, examined his pistol and waited. The presi dent and Secretary Blaine came out together and he followed them, but could get no opportunity to use his weapon. On the morning of Satur day, July 2, he breakfasted at tho Riggs about S. He then walked up to the park and sat there for an hour. He then took a ono -horse avenue car and rode to Sixth, got- out and went into tho depot aud loitered arouud there. He had his shoes blacked, engaged a hackman for two dollars to take him to jail, went into the water closet, took hiB pistol out of his pocket and un wrapped the paper from around it which he had put there for the pur pose of preventing perspiration from the body dampening the pow der. He examined his pistol, tried the trigger, and then returned and took a seat iu the ladies waiting room, and as soon as the president entered advanced behind him and fired two shots. These facts, I think, can be relied upon as accurate, and I give them to the public to contra dict certain false rumors in connec tion with this most atrocious of atrocious crimes." A machine that will "add up a column of figures a foot long in six seconds," is advertised by a shrewd rascal, ne sends a piece of chalk with directions to use it on a bam door or auy other surface big enough to hold figures a foot long. lSrntlirr Gardner's I.lmo-Killii There was crape on the bear trap as the janitor opened the doors to admit the crowd. No one could say who was missing aud every eye was turned upon the President as he arose and said. 'Two nights ago at midnight I saw Brudder Kyan Jones take leave of airth to cross de dark ribber. De ole man had bin ailin' fur weeks ;an' he was ready to go. When his eyes looked under de dark cloud of death an' cotched sight of de angels of Heaven the gathered his friends about him an' we sot beside him when his life wont out. If dar am a man iu dis hall who believes wid Bob Ingersoll he should havo bin dar when do soul of dat poo' ole black mau began slipping away from its home of clay. What brought de smile of joy to de ole man's face? What put de look of blessed satis fackshun in his eye? Why did ho welcome de comin' of dat sleep which knows no wakin' till de blast of de trumpet turns airth into Par adise?' 'Way down in de rich fields of Louisiana lies de body of his ole wife. Dat smile of joy was bo'u at do thought of raeetin' her at de gate of Heaven. In a green lane iu Geor gia lies de dust of his first bo'u chile. Dat look cum to his eyes when he realized dat befo' in his arms. In de y'ars of tho long ago doy took his darter away an' he has never heard from her since. When he thought of de blessed family reunion up dar' behind tho gates of gold his face wore sich a look dat we could al most' h'ar do music of de harps. Tell me of some unbeliever who haB died that away 1 Tell me of a scoffer who has let go of life wid a smile ou his face I All de words of all do in fidels on airth could'nt havo snaked de faith of dat poo' ole man. He could not read but he could pray. He could not write but he could hope. Jist befo' de bells struck midnight we saw his smilo brighten an' he pintcd wid his finger iuto distance. Shall I tell you what the old man saw. Ho saw beyond do curtain which hangs between life an' eternity. He saw legions upon le gions an' hosts upon hosts marchin' down to de dark ribber. He saw beyond dat. He saw de sunlight on do odder sho.' Heard music. He saw de wife au' chill'en of odder days an' when day held outdoir arm to him he whispered to us : 'Dey is callin' 'dey is calling' an' ho sunk away widout even a sigh. A Farmer irlio Kollctl lilw Hoy. Last spring a farmer found in his flock a lamb which the mother would not own. He gave it to his boii, a boy fifteen years old, who saved it and raised it. The boy called it hie all summer, and the family called it 1ub, and it was his. But in tho fall, wheu his father sold tho other lambs, ho let this ono go with them, and taking tho pay for it, he tucked it into hiB big wallet and carried it off to pay taxes, or put in tho bank. Now this farmer did not intend to do anything wrong. Least of all did he intend to wrong his hoy. Probably he did not give the matter much thought anyway; and if he did he considered the boy's owner ship of the lamb a sort of a pleasant fiction, or reasoned that the boy having all his needs supplied out of the family purse, did not need the pay for the lamb, aud it was bettor to put it into the common fund. But for all that, taking tho lamb and selling it in that way, and pocketing the proceeds, was stealing. No, it was robbery ; and as between this boy and his father, one of tho mean est robberies that could perpetrated. Not only this, but by robbing tho boy of that two dollars the farmer did more to make the boy discon tented, and drivo him from home, than he can undo with ten times that amount. A boy is a little man, aud if he has got any of the gather and grip to him when he grows up, ho begins at an early ago to feel that desire to own something, and to add to the property subject to his owner ship, which is at once the incentive to effect work, and the motive which reconciles men to their condition. No matter how well the boy's wants are provided for from a fund which is common to the whole fam ily, he takes no particular interest in adding to that fund, because he does not feel that it is his, aud he tires of labor and thought, the pro ceeds of which ho must share with several others ; but give him a piece of property of his own, to manage as he pleases, to keep, or sell, or ex change, aud let him feel that his ownership is secure, and that his loss or gain depends upon his own endeavors, and he will work cheer fully and contentedly. Our mother tongue: A French gentleman who supposed he had mastered the English language was sadly puzzled one day when a friend looked at him and said : "How do yon do?" "Do vat?" "I mean how do you find yourself?" "Sair I nev er loses myself." "But how do you feel ?" "Smooth ; you just feel me." A family matter: An Austin, TexaB, boy came home from school very much excited and told his fath er that he believed all human beings were descended from apes, which made the old man so mad that he replied angrily: "That may be the case with you, but it ain't with me; I can tell you that, now." It is one of the pleasant fictions of our form ol government that the burdens thereof arc equally distrib uted. Tho division of privileges is generally acquiesced iu as being reasonably fair. Tho clamorers for female suffrage are an exceptiou to the rule, but that does not bear upon the matter of burdens. The chief weight of popular governmeut is upon the pocket-book of the body politic. Such active personal duties as are imposed upon individuals are generally so plastered with salaries and perquisites that the opportunity to discharge them is sought after rather than avoided, and hence the money-purse must be regarded alone as the mainstay of the country. Henco, as the general purse is com posed of a multitude of individual purses, aud tho support of the gov ernmeut is taken from each separ ately, it is highly essential that the system employed should bo even aud regular, bearing upon all alike. As at present organized, each county is an independent nationality as far as raising revenue is concerned. That this method has its drawbacks is universally acknowledged, and no system that does not compel the ussossinent of property for state pur poses throughout the state by the samo rulo can bo absolutely fair and equitable. As, for instance, land in Douglas county is assessed at $13.G8 ; iu the adjoining county of Washing ton at $1.63 iu other words, an acre of land in Douglas bears more than eight times as much of the general burden as an acre iu Washington. And again : In York county the average valuatiou of horses is $46.41 ; in the neighboring county of Hall, $8.95! Will any man claim that is equitable? York county mules are worth in the eyo of the assessor $65.30 each, while tho animal pecu liar to Sa'liuc is valued at $27.S9, and the noble creature degenerates, to $15 in Dawson. Tho wool bearing merino is worth in Pawnee $2 03, while he gambols about in Nemaha with a burden of 70 cents on his back, and in Dawson he couldn't be swapped for a square meal, being 011I3' worth 45 cents. In Lincoln county the hog, tho farmer's silent partner, is estimated at $4, while in Boono ho is just the equivalent of a gallon of sorghum molasses, to-wit: 50 cents.. York county considers the average value of cattle to be $14 97, while the fatlings of Cuming are probably worthless except for their hide.", as they are knocked off at a lump rate of $5.66. These glaring irregularitieB need no comment, and, without further debate, call for a new deal in the manner of assessments. It is not a question of whether ono is loo high, or tho other too low. Uniformity is demanded. Each county should bo as nearly the same as circumstances will allow, there being liberal allow ance made especially in the matter of lands for location, market facil ities and cost of transportation. Lincoln Journal. A HrolIier'H Knoirletlgrc. John Wilson Guiteau gives a short family history in tho Boston Her ald. He denies that there has been insanity iu cither the father or moth er's family, except a single case of his father's brother, who died in an asylum from remorse at having kill ed a rival in a duel. He has but little personal knowledge of his brother's life. He thinks he was to a certain extent insane. Whether insaue to the extent of not knowing the moral character and effect of his own act or of losiug the power to restrain Iub criminal intentions, if he had any desire to do so, will un doubtedly bo properly investigated in the light of all the facts by the proper tribunals. Ho stamps the deed as a most atrocious, foul and bloody murder and a crime against tho nation aud the progress of chris tian civilization throughout the world. Ho concludes as follows: "I respectfully and in deep humilia tion and sorrow request tho prayers of all who know God in spirit and in truth that the Father may cause my brother's darkened understand ing to be opened ; that the evil spirit which now possesses him may be cast out, and that he may in true penitence and sorrow turu, while he yet has life, to the God of his father and mother,and whom his ancestors for so many generations lived and worshipped." Nebraska railroad managers never tire in extending accommodation to people along their respectivo lines. This is shown in numerous instan ces during tho deep snows of the past winter, when strenuous efforts were put forth to get coal and other supplies to those who had been tem porarily isolated by the blockade. It has been shown in efforts made to provide pettlers with seed, and the liberal terms extended for those who choose to take advantage to their timely offers. Their generosity has now been exhibited again in the reduced rates to all who wished to travel over their lines from the 2nd to the 5th of July, enabling people to spend tho "patriotic day" wher ever they might choose, without great expense. It would be well, perhaps, for people who cry out so lustily about tho "soulless corpora tions" to occasionally recall to mind these favors, and see wherein rail road managers are not the "grinding monopolists" that aome pusillani mous journalists have painted.
