THE REMEDY.

Mr., Blaine said he was not prophet nor son Of
one, but II this was done he ventured to predict
that that long deferred and much desired event,
the revival Of American steam marine would
soon arrive. He would have the country do one
thing more, 10 which England had pointed the
way for ua. We have nine navy yards and are
without navy. live would put the expense Of
those navy yards into the building up OF great
private Rhip yards, this would form subsidy
enough and aid enough, II the Senator Becky
liked that word better. It would give help
enough from the savings in the construction Of
navy vessels to float this whole grand scheme for
q revival Of American navigation. The election
had shown that the public opinion Of this country
was in favor Of keeping up American against for.

THAT NOBLE WOMAN.
The Religious Services at Elber0n.
New York Sun.

New York Sun.
Mrs. Garfield on the evening be-
fore had broken in upon the calcula-
tons of the Cabinet members with a
request that religious service ought
to be held in the cottage. She said
she knew there would not be much
time for service Of this character,
but she thought there ought to be
as much service as there was time
for. Attorney General MacVeagh
looked about him to find a minister.
John Sloane, the carpet merchant OF
New York, owns cottage nei ghbor-
ing to the MacVeagh Cottage on the
north. He is the same gentleman
who conducted the levee in honor
of President Garfield when the latter
visited Elberon in the early part of
the summer. Mr.. Sloane and his
family attend the First Reformed
Church in Long Branch village,
and at his suggestion an invitation
was extended to it's pastor, the Rev.
Charles J. Young, to offcate.
Accordingly that gentleman, accom-
panied by Mrs. Young, was present
in the cottage at $50 o'clock, the
hour set for the services. But it
was nearly a quarter of 10 o'clock
before the doors were shut to ex-
clude the many who arrived at Ell
boron too late to see the President S
body. Chairs had already been
placed in rows on a peculiar broad
landing at the east side of room in
which the coffin rested. This room
| was on the west side of the house,
-Four steps lead up to the landing.
From it broad fright of stairs On
one side ascends to the next story,
but if person passes to the rear OF
the landing and separates a pair Of
heavy curtains he finds himself in

Upon this broad landing, which
is, in fact, but a rear ex
tension of the floor of the
dining room. Mrs. Garfield, Miss
Mollie Garfield, and her brother
Harry, sat in the front row of chairs
Behind them sat several of the
Cabinet members and their wives
Others of the Cabinet members stood
during the service.
When all was in readiness, Colonel
| Rockwell said to the minister:
"Mr. Young, you have just about
four or five minutes
Mr.. Young bowed in acquiescence
and at the same time he took out his
watch, which he continued to hold
in his hand as he stepped up to the
head of the coffin. just as he was
going to begin, Mrs. Garfield leaned

before His face! Fellow~citizensl

before His face! Fellow~citizens!
God reigns, and the Government at
Washington stilllives!' tits the voice
of Garfield. And as the death-bells
are tolling and flags fly at half-mast,
and as the nation is shrouded in
mourning, we take courage at these
grand words. If the nation is un-
der Gods peculiar care, as we belive
it is, He may take from us our great
est statesmen, but the government
will still live.
lmbued with these feelings, this
should be a memorable Sabbath in
our country's history. We can
worship with a devoutness and an
earnestness never, perhaps, felt be-
fore. growing out of this fresh ex.
emplifcation of human frailty in the
hour of trial and affection. We
can return thanks for Garfeld's ex-
ample, aud for that ealmness and
confidence which, under the blessings
of God, characterize our people at
time when nothing else could save
us. We are not depending upon the
exercise of power by the govern
meht. Armed men are not necessa-
ry to keep the peace and preserve
order. But tranquility comes from
the sober common sense and patriot
ism of the people. Surely these are
things for which We should be dee
voutly thankful.
And in our devotions let us
not forget the dear sorrowing
ones whose lives are made so dark
by this sad bereavement. His dea,
devoted wife, his heart broken old
mother and his fatherless children
The hearts and the purses of the be-
nevolenthave been opened and every
thing that man can do will bedone fol
them. But this alone cannot con
sole them. Only the Higher Power
can give them relief. Let them be
remembered in the devotions o.
Christian people, and let this be 6
day never to be forgotten on account
of the communion between strick
en- people and merciful God. il.

MRS. GARFIELps RESIGNATION.
A Short Visit to the White House
Carrying Out Her Husbands Wish
es-A Curious Compact to
Re Kent.
By Telegraph to the N. Y. Tribune.

By Telegraph to the N. Y. Tribune.
WASHINGTON, September 22-Mar
shall Henry, speaking of the i'm
preston he felt after looking upon
the face of his dead friend, said:
cit tells the story of terrible suffer-
Observation-Disclosures all. The
Marshal was at the White House to-.
day when Mrs. Garfield called to
superintend the packing of her hus-
bands personal effects. She. knew
where everything was placed, and
gave directions to the servants about
the proper disposition of each ar
ticle. She wanted also to visit once
more the room in which the late
President suffered so long, and she
stood for several moments viewing
the scene that recalled SO much Of
anguish and sorrow.
| Meeting Marshal Henry in the
library, she grasped his hand, and as
the tears filled her eyes, she said in
a voice choking with emotion: at
had to come"
For only short time did she Civ e
way to her feelings, and she recover
ed her self-possession and talked
about the arrangements for the fun
eral services tomorrow. -
Besides Mr.. Power, the pastor OF
the church where the President at
tended in Vermont ave-, she EXPRESS
ed desire to have the venerable
Isaac Errett, Editor of the Christian
Standard, to assist in the services.
For Mr.. Errett, she said, her hus~
band always expressed great reyer-
ence, and had looked up to him as
one from whom he derived much in
SEPARATION to advance in life. They
had known each other many years.
When the President began his career
as school-teacher, Mr.. Errett was
one of the leaders in the Disci>
Piles denomination.
After Mrs. Garfield had attended
to the last duties in connection with
the preparations for leaving Wash
ington, she returned with Mrs.
Rockwell and her son Harry to the
residence of Attorney General Mac
Veagh. Mrs. Reed, a relative OF
Mrs. Garfield, called at the White
House during the latter's visit.
There was peculiar reason for in
viting the Rev Isaac Errett, of Gin
cinnati, to come to Washington and
assist in conducting the religious
services tomorrow over the remains
of the nations dead. During the
war, OF at some time i'm
mediately preceding, curious
compact was made between four
gentlemen General Garfield, DR..
Errett, the Rev Harrison Jones, of
Cleveland, the chaplain Of General
Garfeld's regiment, and DR.. J. p.
Robinson. By it's terms, when any
one Of the four died the survivors
were to attend the funeral and take
some public part in the ceremonies.
General Garfield is the first to pass
away. Dr.. Power, who, by request
of Mrs. Garfield, is to conduct the
services here, hearing of the compact
/ telegraphed all invitation to Dr.
Errett to come to Washington and
take part; and yesterday Mrs. Gar
field sent the following dispatch to
DR.. Robson at Cleveland:
In fulflment of the old promise
please have Dr. Errett, Chaplain
Jones and yourself meet me al

SABBATH REFLECTIONS.

The first heavy shock felt at the
announcement of President Gar
fields death has passed away, but
the sadness and grief over his de-
parture is as great as when the in
telligence was first received. Many
persons thought, after witnessing
his long, brave and hopeless strug
gle with death, that they had become
reconciled to the inevitable. But
the newspapers, which sge crowded
with the details of his death, and the
grief of his family and the world,
are eagerly read, and millions of eyes
are moistened as they hear of the
touching incidents Of these sad days
Profoundly impressed with the
g eat solemnty of the occasion, the
people will attend their accustomed
places of worship to-day with feels
ings they never experienced before.
For weeks past they have been ear
nestly praying that the Great Father
above, might permit this bitter cup
to pass from their lips. Never be-
fore perhaps have they prayed in
such terrible earnest. A great bur
den of woe rested upon their hearts
and dark cloud of grief shut out
every ray of light. Feeling their
utter helplessness, they have tried to
cast their burdens upon Him, Who
alone could give relief
But it is all over. The brave and
patient sufferer has passed beyond
human aid and beyond the line where
human sympathy can avail him any
thing. But we love to linger around
the border land with him. 1t is one
of the times alluded to SO eloquently
by the now dead President, on the
occasion of the death of the martyr
Lincoln, when he said: "There are
times in the history of men and OF ma
. tons, when they stand so near the
vail that separates mortals
and immortals, time from
eternity, and men from thei,
God, that they almost hear the beat
ing and feel the pulsation of the in
finite" That is true and this il
prominently one of the tunes. We
no longer read tie bulletins from
the sick room and scan them ovel
and over again for something upon
which to hang hope, when there is
absolutely nothing and the grin
King Of Terrors mocks in our faces
but by faith we can look to the Other
shore, aud there see the idol of ou1
hearts freed from pain, freed from
sorrow, freed from care, freed from
danger. There he has nothing tc
fear from the assassins bullet and
the malice bred of envy and jealousy
never comes.
But while we think of this and are
glad, sadness overwhelms us when we
reflect what the country has lost IL
his death, and with tears we bewai
the cruel fate which deprives us o.
one so great, so wise and SO good
When grief at our loss and the coun
try's loss almost overcomes us, we
hear a voice as if from the spirit
land, waited back to us by the ange
of hope, saying: Justice and judge
ment are the establishment of His
throne! Mercy and truth shall &C

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

One of the duties of the Tennes-
see Legislature at the extra session
to be called next winter, will be the
apportionment of the State into sen
atorial and representative districts.
With our population as shown by
the last census, and under the State
constitution, the number of senator's
may be increased from Is to 33,
making s additional. senators, and
the representatives from Is, as at
present, to SO. The number of voters
in the State, according to the census
just taken, is 344,741, and this is the
basis upon which the apportionment
is made. Under this, there would
be one senator to every l0, 449 voters
and one representative to each 1882
voters. No one county in East Ten
nessee will be entitled to elect a
senator, Knox being the nearest, and
lacking about 1000 voters. Knox
and Anderson, or Knox and Union,
will lack a few of the necessary
number, but Knox and one of these
counties will probably compose the
district, or perhaps Knox and Loudon,
Shelby county lacks about 100
of the number required for two Sen
ators and Davidson has only about
5000 more than is required for one.
Maury is the only other county in
the State that will elect a separate
Senator.
In the House of Representatives,
Knox will have two Representatives
and joint Representative with one
of the adjoining counties. Shelby
will have 5, Davidson 4, and Maury,
Fayette, Gibson, Giles, Montgomery,
Madison, Rutherford, Wilson and
Hamilton will have two each. Blount,
Bradley, Crockett, Dekalb, Dyer
Franklin, Hardeman, Hardin
Hawkins, Haywood, Henderson
Henry, Jefferson, Lauderdale
Lincoln, McMinn, McNairy, Mar
shall, Obion, Roane, Robertson, Sc
vier, Smith, Sullivan, Sumner, Tip.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR will not occupy
the White House as a residence,
His intimate friend, Senator Jones,
of Nevada, was asked about this and
replied:
sHe will certainly not do so at
present" "He will stop at my house
as long as he likes. It is probable,
however, that he will go to some one
of the private hotels, using the Elk
ecutive Mansion simply as an office.
For my part, | am opposed to the
occupancy by the President of the
White House untilit is rendered hab-
liable. At present it is not so. It
should be repaired and remodelled,
and Congress should be given a
broad hint, by the refusal of the
President to live in the White House,
that it is not fit place of residence.

mittee which has in charge the SUBJ
iect of the improvement of the riv-
or front, and I think something can
be done about it this winter"
