Dramatic spectacle.

CLEVELAND, September 24.-Thc canopy
in the centre Of the Public Square, under
which rests the Presidents body, presents
a curious spectacle tonight, and although
the public are not allowed to approach
nearer than hundred yards to the catafal.
que, the lines being carefully guarded by
soldiers, 1t is surrounded with spectators.
The Decoration Committee are still at
work on It, and an electric light from the
dome OF the canopy, and from several
corners, casts a weird light upon the entire
scene, the high gilt pillars and the gilded
emblems shine forth like gold, while the
drapings Of Grape give the scene strange
ly somber appearance. Underneath Off.
GERS in brilliant uniform, Sir Knights with
their white plnmes and regalia, the flashing
ot swords and the cleaning OF bayonets,
gives the scene the air OF spectacular
drama rather than Of house Of mourning,

President Arthur's most intimate fyiends
the prevailing opinion is that there will bo
a general change in the Cabinet portfolias
within sixty days. None Of tho present
members appear to be Slated for M
ArthuFs Cabinet except Secretary Lincoln,
and he, it is said, will only remain in the
event Of General Grant not accepting the
War Office, which, It Is intilnated, viii be
rendered him, For the Treasury, Il &
stated that Ex-Governor Edwin D, Morgan,
Of New York, has been decided upon. Nj,
Morgan is regarded as the political prcgenis
tor Of the President, for the reason thai,
when Governor Of New York, he appointed
Mfr. Arthur upon his staff and gave him his
flrst start in public life. Tho closest
intimacy has existed between them ever
since, Mr.. Morgan, however, although,
still vigorous and well preserved, has
passed his seventeen year and may, there
fore, hesitate to re-enter public life, eyento
accept position so Congenial to his tastes
as that ol Secretary Of the Treasury. MI.
Blaine will, 1t Is believed, retire, and Il Il
thought that If he wishes It he can succeed
Mr.. Lowell as Minister to England, X
Mr.. Morgan goes into the Treasury, Mr.
James will go out Of the Post Office, AZ
both are from New York, and II Il moi
likely that more than one will be selected
from the same State. Mr. Hunt and MI.
MacVeagh will probably 60 out, Noother
names, except those Of x.Goyernor Nor
gan and General Grant, have been mem
toned In connection with the new Cahi-
net, but II is said the President is giving
the subject serious consideration, and thit
he will surround himself with the strong
est men he can secure.
President Arthur has decided not to oc-
Cupy the Executive Mansion for several
months, In the meantime he will continue
to reside at the house OF Senator Jones,0l
Nevada, on Capitol Hill, which has been
plnoed ut his disposal by Mr.. Jones, whose
family will not return to the Capital until
January. 1t is one OF the most elegant and
C0mmodious private mansions In the city.
The Presidents official business will proba-
bly, be transacted at the State Department
until the public part OF the White House
has been subjected to the repairs and alter
ati0ns contemplated before Gen. Gar
fields assassination. The new Executiyes
plans in this respect, however, will be bet
ter known next week. Mr.. j. Stanley
Brown, the highly esteemed and popular
private secretary to the late President was
to-day requested to remain At his post, but
It Is not likely that he will, nor does he
himself expect to officiate permanentlyin
his present position. Mr.. james q. Reed.
Of New York, who was Gen. Arthuf's seo-
retQry during the last campaign, and also
while he was Yice.President, will Doubt
less be appointed Mr.. Browns successor.
Mr., Brown will probably be rendered some
desirable office In one Of the Executive
Departments.

sr. I.oup, September 24.-At Hardlng's

John Holmes, aged fourteen, and Dlckey

coal. The boy went upon what Is called

his little body was burned almost to crisp,
but her own clothing caught fire and she
was frightiully burned.
Her cries brought the miners 10 her as

son Harry, Miss Mollie, Mrs and Mis-

saw all the members OF the family. Her
son Harry, Miss Mollie, Mrs, and Miss
Rockwell are all there.
The family having thus passed away from
the depot, the marines stepped from the
car and the casket was placed on their
manly shoulders and carried to the hearse
attended by the guard OF honor and the
local committee and other occupants OF the
train, The hearse was Of white wood, with
heavy plate glass, the sides trimmed in the
deepest mourning. The horses, four in
number, were JET black, with coverings OF
Grape, trimmed with silver; a cOlored man, in
black livery, stood ut the head OF each,

State officials, members OF the United

lowed in carriages in GOuble line The
sound Otmutiled drums, the tread OF many
feet, the long line OF uncovered heads, the
emblems OF mourning, all went to make
upa picture impressive in the extreme.
There were many fearful eyes in that line
OF spectators, and all faces were sad-sad-
der than those we saw ut ElberOn or at
Washington. Each person seemed to have
lost friend, for all had seen and many
known the man the Nation mourned.
The COrtGge moved slowly down the av-
snue to Erie street and thence TO Superior.
Here the City buildings were passed aud
the Public Square was reached. The sol
diers drew up in double line and presented
their guns and the Sir knights their
swords while the hearse passed through.
At the foot OF the incline leading up to the

body was borne to its resting place in the

That wa the true and the only reason.
Matthews, Sherman, Foster, Garfield
and others who we're parties to this bar
gain ard who were to profit by its consul
nation, cared nothing for the "rightful,
ness" of Packard's title. They would
have sacr feed hundreds Of Packards to
reach the goal of their ambition, wnere
honors, Office and rich rewards were
waiting to welcome the triumphant con-
spirators.
Hayes came in, according to the condi.
tions of the bon and one OF bis hret
acts was to constitute commission WIN

New Orleans, but in any event TO wipe
out Packard as Governor and to oycr~
throw Republican Legislature: They
did the business as directed by Mr., Ev
arts and as ioreshadowed by Mr.. Mat
| theWe.
John M. Harlan was made a Justice OF
the Supreme Court for his share 10 that
foul transaction. And now, when Hayes
is returning to obscurity, he proposes in
the last days of his Executive authority,
to pay off his obligation to Stanely Matth'
eWs by making him also Justice OF the
Supreme Court. Will the Senate permit

Postofice Appropriation hill with the
Senate amendments was referred to the
Committee on Appropriations, and then
the House went into Committee Of the
Whole (Mr. Carlisle in the chair on the
River and Harbor bill.
Mr. King offered an amendment pro-
yiding that the work Of removing snags
shall be prosecuted during the low water
season between July and December Ist.
The proposition, which was objected to
by Mr., Updegraff of Iowa, on the ground
that on the Arkansas river at least, snag
boats could only get up during high
water. The amendment was adopted.
Mr.. Robinson offered an amendment
providing that no portion Of the money
appropriated for the Mississ ppi river

WHY DID HE NOT DO HIS DUTY
THEM


THEM
Mr., Conkling is evidently preparing
to give Mr.. Hayes, as he retires from
the White House, which he should never
have entered, hard, parting kick. The
vlndictive Senator proposes to expose
the hollowness, the hypocrisy, Of all Mr.,
Hayes's pretensions to the character of
a civil service reformer.
This exposure may not be without an
element of usefulness. But, compara-
lively speaking--contrastingi it with what
it once lay in Mr.. Conkling's power to
dot seems very small matter,
Mr.. Conkling may somewhat increase
the feeling of disapproval and Of disre-
spect which will accompany Mr.. Hayes
as he takes his departure from the EX,
ecutiYe Mansion for his quiet home in
Ohio. But four years ago Mr.. Conkling,
by the simple performance Of his duty,
could have shut the door Of the Execu-
tive Mansion in the face Of the false pre-
tender he now so heartily despises. All
that Mr.. Conkling would have been re-
quired to do then to accomplish this
great result was to consider his country
before his party.
In this supreme obligation the proud
and ambitious Senator from New York
failed-signally and utterly failed.
So we have had Mr.. Hayes for four
years in the White House, to go out
