In relation to deep water at Galveston the New'
York correspondent of The News states that ggc<i
authorities in that city are of the opinion that if
deep water is attainable here, Galveston, in ail-
probability, will become the terminus of both
Southern Pacific and Missouri-Pacific Railroads.
This is the Huntington and Gould systems. If-
there is no mistake about this matter, it is very Im-
portant intelligence. W7hat means, if any, hUre
been taken to ascertain the feasibility of obtaining
deep water at Galveston is not stated iu the die-
patch, but it is indicated that such is codt«mplate<jf
if not already undertaken. In this Connection Sen-
ator Maxey—himself an engineer of ability—gives
it as his opinion that the plans adopted by Colonel
Mansfield will prove in the end successful in ob-
taining deep water, and regajriK that outcome as a
simple matter of time. The futwe of Galveston at
last centers arouad the deep-water problem.

LITTLE HOCK.
A. TERRIBLE JLItKAXSAS VENDETTA*
The Prince of Wales is making an effort to re-
store Colonel Valentine Baker to good society in
England. He has already been readmitted to the
clubs, and it is not doubted that the prince will
eventually accomplish his desire.
Mr. West, who is to succeed Sir Edward Thorn-
ton as British Minigter to the United States, is at
present holding the same position at the court of
Madrid. He is fifty-four years of age, a bachelor,
of fine presence, and fond of society and good liv-
ing.
President Garfield is reported to have said, one
dajr last week, to the Attorney General and the
Postmaster General, in reference to the Star Route
investigations, " You must not only probe the ulcer,
you must cut it out." There seems to be no doubt
that these instructions will be carried out.
There are 2122 national banks in the country.
Fifty-four liave been organized during the year
ending June 30, with a capital of $6,409,100. Nine-
teen during the same period went into voluntary
liquidation by vote of the shareholders, and none
failed. So says the latest official report on the
subject.
There is a settled feeling in this part of the
hemisphere that, considering the inordinate
amount of blowing and fussing that has been made
over the Cornell orew and their part in the Henley
regatta, they have done about as poorly in every
respect as a crew well could to yet maintain them-
selves and the name of oarsmen.
The National Eepublican continues to fire hot
shot at the " slanderers " of Brady and Dorsey. It
says no investigation is going on, but " a brace of
detectives and a Tombs lawyer are tryiDg to fish
up something to sustain wholesale slanders set on
foot by blackmailers. That is all. Of course per-
jury can be bought as easily as its suborners can be
hired."
The attempted assassination of the President has
had no visible effect upon the New York Legisla-
ture. The vote yesterday showed no symptoms of
a finality. The hue and cry against the stal-
warts under the implied accusations of their being
particeps criminis in the shot at the Nation's liber-
ties, will doubtless intensify the feeling, widen the
breach, and prolong the dead-lock.
When Conkiing was informed of the shooting
of President Garfield, and in the same breath was
asked to express aji opinion upon it, he answered:
The news lias found me so unprepared and over-
whelmed with personal cares that it almost
stunned me. May God grant that it may not prove
true. It is the most tertiblf incident in our his-
tory since the death of Lincoln. If it is true, then
may heaven help our country.

Price McGrath, the veteran turfman of Lexing-
ton, Kentucky, died at Long Branch yesterday.
For years he has stood among the foremost horse-
men of the country, and wherever known has been
esteemed for his genial nature, big heart and open
handed hospitality. 44 The Lord of McGrathiaua,"
as the popular old bachelor's friends have named
him, will be sorely misled.
Information from New York from a reliable
source states that the only successful plan for
placing city of Galveston bonds on the market is to
intrust them in the hands of reliable fiscal agents
who understand negotiations of this character.
Simply advertising by the city, or a visit of alder-
men to New York, can accomplish no possible
good. A jaunt during the summer season may be
a pleasant enough affair to the aldermanic consti-
tution, but as a financial venture to the city it
would prove a dead failure.
Mr. Garfield seems not to have been very hostile
to Mr. Arthur after all, and he seems also to have
entertained a premonition of a catastrophe. One
Mr. Simon Stevens, said to be a relative of Tliad
deus Stevens, is reported as saying, since the Preai
dent was hurt:
It was only two weeks ago when I heard in Gar-
field's presenca discussed the contingency of
Arthur becoming President. Garfield exhibited
some disposition to have General Arthur consulted
about certain of the appointments, saying, "in a
contingency he will be my successor and it is to the
interests of .my friends to have him well treated,
because he may have the executive power over
them one day."
Kalloch, tlit* demagogue who has been an in
cubits upon San Francisco for years past, has
promised his congregation that he will not be a
candidate for Mayor agaiu. This does not mean,
however, that he is going to turn his back on poli
tics, tor the statement is now made that he yields
the municipal struggle on the promise of the
gubernatorial nomination one year hence. About
the best thing to do with Kalloch is to completely
squeioh him. He is a discordant note in the politi
cal song, and the quicker he is got rid of the
better it Jwill be for the domestic peace of Pacific
coast parties.
Tee chemical constitution of bodies at the re
motest distances of the stellar universe are now
accurately revealed by the photograph, the spec
troscope and spactro-photography. It is stated
that the comet photographs of Prof. Henry Draper
have proved fairly successful, two very excellent
negatives having bsen obtained of our present vis
itor. The center is sharply defined in these nega-
tives, indicating that it is a solid body, surrounded
by a coma o? carbon vapor in a blazing condition.
Whether the vapor is pure carbon or some com
pound is a question that it will not be easy to de-
cide, as the spectrum of carbon is not well settled.

A. Riot Threatened.
Jacksonville. Fla., July 5.—A seriotis disturb
ance occurred yesterday at Fernandina consequent
on the arreat of a negro, who. while resisting, was
shot an d fatally, though not mortally, wounded.
The town was full of colored excursionists, and at
one time a serious riot was feared. Governor
Bloxham was at once notified and the militia or-
dered out ud quiet restored.
Ex-Governor Bullock, ot Georgia, when it was
thought the President would surely die from his
wound, s-aid: "Arthur's administration will agree-
ably surprise the people. He is not as bad as he is
painted." It is repeated that the country has no
evidence that Arthur is a bad man, except the tes
timony of Mr. Hayes and John Sherman, and they
only alleged that he had used the collectorship of
the port of New York for political purposes. The
difficulty was he did not use it in their favor. The
truth is he is almost as good as the average Repub
lica'.i. and his gratitude to Conkiing shows a better
trait than thousands of accidental great men
possess.
The following bit of " secret history " appears
in the Atlanta Constitution's accouut of the assas
si nation:
Mr. Bayard, as the senior Senator, had the right
to tlie presidency pro tem., if he wished to insist
upon it. Mr. Bayard is kuown to be a very poor
presiding officer, while Mr. Harris, of Tennessee,
is a very fine one. The Democrats, in caucus,
therefore suggested Mr. Harris as the proper man
for the place, believing that Mr. Bayard would
withdraw his claims. He insisted, however, that
he had "the riant, and would stand by it. The
Democrats, disliking to vote him out by force, and
yet umvil!lng to give up so fine a presiding officer
as Mr. Harris for so poor a one as Mr. Bayard,
kept postponing the election frcm day to day un-
til the Senate adjourned. Mr. Artnur was very
bitterly hostile to Mr. Bayard, and did all he could
to hinder and postpone fcu election.

boardReconsidered their action heretofore taken in

ISpecial Telegram to The News.]
Little Rock, Ark., July 5.—The details of the
assassination of Marshal W. D. Patton and Deputy
Sheriff John Mount, at Fayetteville, Ark., on the
night of July 3, were received to-day, and discloses
the course of a vendetta organization at the close
of the war, and conducted from that time to this
with a remoi seless cruelty almost beyond parallel
A number of families were implicated, nearly all
of whom are respectable people, havlag
drawn into the trouble by the force of
cumatances or the desire- for self-preserva-
on. The feud reached its crowniug point
one year ago. At that time John Reed
was living on White River, two or three miles
from Fayetteville. He was known far and wide as
desperado; He had served in tbe army, aud
after the war kept those living in the neighborhood
of bis home in terror through various species of
his ruffianism. He was accustomed to ride into
Fayetteville with a party of congenial spirits
at his heels and virtually take possession
of the town. The little villages
ot" Alma and Van Buren were
also subjected to similar visitation, and m both
places he had serious shooting affrays with various
parties, narrowly escaping with his life. He nad
repaatedly declared that no man could take him.
One evening iu May, 1880, when on a shooting oar-
nival at F&j eutviUt, he w«» arrested by defcaty-
sheriffs Jackson and Sorrel and carried to jail, as
be refused to give bail. While in tbe outer room
of the prison he became desperate and began
lighting like a madman. He seized a bottle
and threw it at Jai.er Moore, knocking him down
aad wounding him seriously. In tho melee, the
lamps were overturned and extinguished, and in
the darkuess several snots were fired. When the
ligh's were again produced, Reed was found lying
dead on the floor. He had been shot through the
heart by some of the officers. The feud was car-
ried on by George Iteed, a brother of John, and al-
most equally as notorious. He swore to avenge
his brother's death. He formed one plot
after another, for this purpose, but none
of them were successful. On the
evening of June 6, 1881, be was in Fayetteville, and
pot into an altercation with City Marshal W. S.
Patton, who undertook to arrest him. Reed at-
mpted to draw a pistol, when Patton shot him.
He tumbled from h - hoi se, dying in about aa hour.
This tragedy sh< ok the county like an earth-
quake. Pation was qu.jt uied and a verdict of
justifiable homicide returned, but the excitement
steadily increased and to-day is at
lever heat. .James Reed, a brother of
Georgo and John, took up the quarrel
al ter the curtain had dropped on the second act,
after a scene of blood. Reed's friends also made
threats to the effect lhat his death should be
avenged, that the blood of a dead man's soul should
be augmented with the blood of the slayer. Since
hen Patton has lived in continual terror of assas-
sination. and has taken every precaution to
guard against such a doom, but fate was
against him. On Saturday nigbr, at
10 o'clock while standing on the square at Fayette-
ville, convei-sing with Deputy Sheriff John Mount,
parties lurking in the shadows of adjacent build-
ings, poured a murderous flre upon them, and both
fell on the ground in the agonies of death. Patton
was shot three times and Mouqt twice. Both died
a most instantly. The assassins fled, escaping in
tlie semi-darkness, while citizens, aroused by the
di-charge of the firearms, flocked to the scene
o£ the double murder trom all parts of the town.
The excitement which now prevails is repre-
sented as being intense. Tbe vendetta has now
reached a point where the law must seize and
crush it. It is understood that arrests are to be
made by the wholesale. All, or nearly all, of the
adherents of the Reeds living on White river
will be apprehended. Fears are expressed
that when the parties are lodged m
jail, they will be taken out and lynched by the in-
furiated populace. It seems clear that the end js
ot yet,'and tliat more blood will be shed before
the vendetta is stamped out. This afternoon Gov-
ernor Churchill issued a proclamation offering a
eward of £500 each for tbe apprehension of the
assassius of Marshal Patton and Deputy Sheriff
Mount.

The following is the official bulletin just completed:
*:S0 a. m.—The President has passed a comfortable
night and his condition this morning is decidedly
siore favorable. There has been uo vomiting since
last evening at 8 a'clock, and he has beeu able to
retain the liquid nourishment administered. There
is less tympanites and oo abdominal tenderness
except in the wounded region. Pulse, 114; tem-
penature, 100-5, and respiration 24.

Executive Mansion, S):30 a. m.—The attendant
doctors announce that should the President's con-
dition continue as it Is at present, no farther bulle-
tins will be issued until the 1 p. m. official bulletin.
Recovery Likely.
Executivx Mansion, 10:40 a. m.—The anticipa-
tions of the President's attending physicians, last
night, with regard to the probably transient char-
acter of the unfavorable symptoms which then
manifested themselves, have bees fully justi-
fied by the result. Colonel Rockwell, who
spent a large part of the night in the
President's room, says that the latter slept
more quietly and tranquilly than at any time since
he was wounded. He took nourishment In the
shape of chicken broth, milk and lime-water and
beet tea repeatedly, and retained it. His restless-
ness abated, the nervous contraction of his fingers
ceased, and he slept quietly for as much as an
hour and a half at a time. The improvement
shown by this morning's official bulletin is s'.ill
maintained, and the physicians regard the case
with feeilngs of encouragement. The hours from
6 to 9 p. m. seem for the patient to be the most un-
favorable part of the day, and it is possible that
there may be a reaction again to-night, as there was
last night, but if so it is believed that it will be
transient, since the symptoms this morning indi-
cated a decided change for the better.
Executive Mansion, July 5.—The following dis-
>atch has been sent by the surgeons in charge to •
)rs. Agnew and Hamilton, the two consulting
physicians:
fixEctrriVE Mansion, July 5, 9:30 a. m.—After you
left the urgent symptoms continued. There was
much restlessness, a constant slight vomiting, and
by 8 o'clock p. m the President's condition seemed
even more serious than when you saw him. Since
tbeu the symptoms have gradually become more
favorable. There has been no vomiting or rejurgi-
tation of fluid from the stomach. Since 8 p. m.
last evening the President has slept a good deal
during the night, and this morning expresses
himself as comparatively comfortable. The
s in the lower extremities have
entirely disappeared, leaving behind, however,
much muscular soreness anu tenderness to the
touch. There is less tympanites and no abdominal
tenderness whatever, except in the hepolitic region.
Since 8 p. m. he has taken an ounce and a half of
chicken-broth every two hours aad has retained
it all. The wound was acraln dressed autisept-
icallv this morning. Altogether but oue-balf a
grain ef morphia has beeu administered hypoder
mically during the past twenty-four hours, and it
has been found quite sufficient. His pulse, how-
ever, still keeps up. At 8.30 a. m. it.was 114, tem
lerature 100, respiration 24. Seventy-two hours
lave now elapsed since the wound was received. We
can not but feel eucouraged this morning, although,
of course, we do not overlook any of the perils
that still beset the path towards recovery. The
course of treatment agreed upon will lie steadily
pursued. D. W. Buss,
J. K. Barnes,
J. J. Woodwarti,

Executive Mansion, July 5, 11:50 a. m.—The
President's symptoms oontinue to the favorable.
All reports to the contrary are unfounded.
Unofficial Bulletin.
Executive Mansion, July 5, 1:40 p. m. — The
President's symptoms are as favorable as at the
date of the last official bulletin. He had just had
_ natural and perfectly normal movement of the
bowels, which was not accompanied by any un-
favorable indications. He has taken no anodjvues
since ten last night, and his condition is regarded
by the attending physicians as very encouraging.
Afternoon Bulletin.
Exbcutive Mansion, July 5, 3.55 p. m.—The con
dition of the President has not materially changed
since the date of the last bulletin. His physicians
continue to regard his symptoms as very favorable.
He has suffers to some extent yesterday and to-

with feelings of gratification that we are firm in
the belief that the secured rights of the people un-
der our Constitution can not be seriously affected by
the blow aimed by the murderer's hand at the in-
dividual who occupies the foremost position in the
Government of the nations of the earth. None the
less, however, is the feeling with which we are op-
pressed at having forced on us the knowledge
that such crime as we are now considering
is possible even by accident in free Amer.ca, and
none the less are the feelings of indignation and
horror in our hearts, which in vain we seek for
words to express. None the less are our hearts
filled with sympathy with the President, stricken
down in his strength and vigorous manhood, and
for his sorrowing family, weeping around the bed-
side over which now hovers the Angel of Death.
While we know the utter inadeauacy of language
to express that which we feel "at this time, we
would fail in doing: justice to our feelings if we
omitted to make this minute; therefore.
Resolved, that we regard with the utmost detest
ation. condemnation and horror the wicked and
awful attempt just made to take ths life of James
A. Garfield, President of tlie United States of
America.
That we join our prayers with all civilized nations
that he may be restored to health and prosperity,
long to live, and that we extend to him and his
distressed wife and afflicted family the earnest as-
surances of our heartfelt sympathy with him and
them in this hour of their great sorrow and suffer-
