ELBknoN. Sept. Al.
The following ofneial bulletin was
prepared At IL o'clock last night by the
surgeons Who have been In attendance
on the late Presidents
By previous arrangements . post
norton examination Of the body Of
President Garfield WINS made this after
noon In the presence and with tho
assistance Of Drs. Hamilton, Agnew,

ington. The operation was performed
by DR.. Lamb. It was found that the
ball, after fracturing the right eleventh
rib. had passed through tho spinal col.
umn III front OF the spinal canal, frac-
turing the body of che first lumber yer.
zebra, driving a number Of small frag.
ments Of bone into the adjacent soft
parts and lodging just below the pam
creas, about two inches and one.haif to
tho left Of the spine aud behind the
peritoneum, where it had become com.
pletely encyst.d. The immediate u
OF death Was secondary hemorrsge from
one OF b mesentric arteries adjoining
the track Of the ball: the blood ruptur.
ing the peritoneum and nearly a pint
escaping into the abdominal cavity.
This bemorrtage is believed to have
been the cause Of the severe pain in
the lower part Of the chest complained
Of just before death. An abscess cavity,
six inches by four in Dimensions, was
found in the vicinity Of the gall blad.
der, between the liva and the transverse
colon, which wes strongly inter.
adherent. 1t did not involve the sub.
stance of the liver, and no communica.
ton was found between it and the
wound. Along the suppuration a chan
mel extended from tbs internal wound
between the loin muscles and the RICH,
Kidney. almost to the night groin. This
channel is now known to be due 10 the
~burrowing of pus from the wound, which
WINS supposed during life to be the track
OF the ball. On examination of the
organs Of the chest, evidences Of bron.
chitis were found. on both sides. with
bronchial pneumonia Of the lower por-
tons of the right lung. and though
much less extent Of the left. The
lungs contained no assesses and the
beart no clots. The liver was enlarged
and fatty, but free from Assesses, nor
were any found In any other organ er-
cept the left kidpey. which contained
near its surface a small abscess about
one.third Of an inch in diameter.
In reviewing the history Of the case
in connection with the autopsy, it IL
quite evident that different suppurating
surfaces. and especially the fractured
spongy tissue Of the vertabra, furnished
sufficient explanation Of the septic con.
dition which existed.

Tho Assassin Re.t, OuI.,Ix

The news Of the Presidents death
did not reach the Jail in which Guiteau
is confined until about midnight. Al
that hour everything was tranquil and
Guiteau was resting quietly in his cell,
aud there VAS no excitement in the
neighborhood Of the Jail, nor was any
trouble aPprebended by the officials.
General Sherman said in q conversation
last night that he did mo- expect any
attempt would BIO mnde TO mob Guiteau.
and expressed the hope that the good
sense Of the people OF the District
would prevail, and that they would
GLOW the law to take It's course.

The fair and respectful tone Of the
editorials received here SHOW that. while
President Arthur goes into once under

accord him . full amount Of respect.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 20.
Assistant Private Secretary Pruder
was arranging the Presidents papers at
the White House this morning. Score
tary Brown t~elegraphed that the party
would leave Long Branch for Washing

known whether the remains aro to be
brought 10 the White House or directly
10 the Capital. Cleaning was going on
at the White House. The streets were
densely packed all night by men.
women and children seeking news.
The newspaper stands are swept bare
of every word Of publication with the
single and Insignificant exception Of the
one Of which the forgery Of GarHeld's
handwriting appeared during the PreSi-
Dental campaign, great piles Of which
paper were left untouched.
Warden Croker visited Guitenu in
jail this morning. Guiteau quizzed him
concerning the Presidents condition.
expressing a fear that the President was
nearing the end. Croker then told
him that the President was dead. He
instantly sank down on his bed and
appeared much excited, He then arose,
paced the floor and appeared to be
praying. When told the particulars he
said he was glad his sufferings were
over and would not have committed the
deed had he known he was I o suffer 30.
Guiteau was less nervous aud alarmed
than the Warden anticipated. He has
had a deadly fear Of mobs. and urges
the United States to protect him.

WASHINGTON, Sent,

WARRINGTON. Sept. 10.
Naturally there are speculations as to
political effects and changes. especially
as to the Senate organization, among
Democrats. The belief prevails that
the Democrats will have a majority.
In the event Of the Presidents death,
they will first elect President pro tenn.
here and Immediately proceed to effect
the organizing of the Senate, before
admitting the two Senator'S elected from
New York. and a Senator. who will be
appointed, 10 succeed Gen. Burnside.
Should the Democrats take this course
they will be able to maintain the organ.
ization. provided Senator Davis. of ILL
nois, votes with them. Davis vote
would give the Democrats SO to 80 Re.
p%ublicans. including Senator Malone,
who will nc .oubt vote with the Repub-
licans. There is a rumor OF the Demo-
Gratis proposing to make Davis, of Hi.
nois, President Of the Senate, but can
DOT be traced to any authentic source.
One Democratic Senator who was in
Washington yesterday, said he WAS op.
posed to playing a grab.game to get the
Senate organization /; that he would
rather give it to tho Republicans than
take any undue advantage to get it.
He talked as though he will refuse to 60
into any movement for organizing the
Senate until all the Senators entitled to
seats be admitted.

SENATOR Fam gives no particulars in
regard to what is being done in the
Sierra Nevada. He says he is opening
up the ground as fast as possible, and
will have something more to say about
the new development in II short time.
He says what he is doing is satisfactory
to the directors. and therefore others
should be satisfied. About all that he
will now say is, all is going we'll. Good

THE CASE OF THE ORPHANS


question has been raised as to whether
the Legislature can make appropriations for
the support of the orphan asylums, under
the conditions of the Governors proclama-
ton. This is undoubtedly an important
question, and examination shows that it is
not an easy one. The Governors procla.
nation rectes as one Of the objects of the
extra session, To enact General Arpro-
"priation bill, which shall contain no
item or items of appropriation other than
"such as are required to pay the salaries
"of State officers, the expenses OF the
" Government and of the institutions IN
" der the exclusive control and manage
"ment OF the State, for the thirty-third
" and thirtY-fourth fiscal years" To I'M
derstand the meaning OF this fully it is
necessary to refer to the Constitution,
Article 4, Section %, where it is provided
that "No money shall be drawn from
" the treasury but in consequence of APP
preparations made by law, and upon
g warrants duly drawn thereon by the
" Controller and no money shall be
appropriated or drawn from the State
treasury for the use or benefit of any cor
operation, association, asylum. hospital.
cor any other institution not under the
Exclusive management aud control of the
