London Stock Eschaaae.

New YORK, Sept. 21.-The London stock
exchange sent the following cable dispatch
this morning to a banking firm here: Please
forward to the authorities in Wall street
the following petition: "We, the under
signed, having the deepest sympathy with the
loss just sustained by the American people in
the death of President Garfield, and, desiring
to show special mark of respect, beg that
you, the committee of the London stock ex-
change, will see fit to close
the house for all business on
Saturday next, or any day you may think
fitting" This dispatch was signed by $50
prominent members of the London stock ex-
change.
The stock exchange on receipt of this cabled
the following to London:
ResoIred, That we appreciate the brotherly
sympathy thus extended by members of the
London stock exchange, and that in behalf of
the American people we gratefully acknowl-
edge the kindly sorrow thus manifested, and
recognize it as an expression which represents
the sentiments of the English people 10
America.
RESOLVED, That in it We recognize another
evidence that these two great nations, united
alike by kindred ancestry and by great COM
mercial interests, are year by year becoming
more firmly connected in friendship, which we
hope will not only forever remain unbroken,
but be strengthened through each succeeding
year.

Many others endeavored to persuade friends

pressions were quite general that it would

posed to view. 1t is understood that q

the body left Elberon. 1t is evident that the
embalming process has not been successful,
and it is evident that the casket will not be
opened after tomorrow, and possibly it will
be closed tonight.

and took carriages for their residences. The
military were dismissed. Lines were then
formed, and the immense crowd outside be-
gan pouring in at the east door. passing to

MOURNING EMBLEMS.
The external mourning emblems at the cap
itol are nearly complete, and although moi
very elaborate or of profuse design, are in
perfect taste. The black drapery contrasted
with the white marble of The edifice, forms
spirals of beauty rarely equalled. The rotunda
is heavily draped almost to the top, and the
gilt frames of the historical paintings are
closely covered with Grape. The entrance tc
the house of congress and house of represen
tatives are also tas'efuIly decorated with EN-
blems of mourning.

Ne,v York Chamber of Commerce.


NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-In response to call
for special meeting of the chamber of COM
merce to take action in regard to the death of
the president, the chamber was crowded to-
day by the most prominent members. In
opening the president made feeling allusion to
the loss the nation had sustained and expressed
the opinion that the history of the last three
months of the late President Garfield would
have a more powerful influence upon mans
kind than his administration of the govern
ment would have produced had he sur
vived the time for which he was
elected. Alluding to his successor, Gen. Ar
thur, he said he had only to use his ability
and experience with integrity of purpose to
secure the respect OF his countrymen. Reso
lutiOns were presented and adopted regretting
his death and eulogizing his memory The
resolutions continue
RcSOlUcd, That the manner of his death is
solemn warning to the American people and
makes it our duty to carefully consider the
causes which led to it.
Rcsolued, That it was natural result of
party rancor and of the demoralized influence
which the system of appointments to
the civil service has upon weak
this calamity may lead the people to remedy
| the evils which have long been apparent, but
never SO clearly as now.
Res0lued, That the assassination of the
president, taken in connection with events in
other countries, makes it necessary for all
civilized nations to provide for the extradition
| of murderers, whether the victim be ruler or
simple citizen of the state. Liberty has
| never been advanced by assassination
nor has it ever assisted good government or
public welfare. Let the assassin then be dealt
with everywhere as murderer abhorred by
all men.
Addresses In support of the resolutions
were made by Howard Pelton and J. 8. Stran-
ahan. Resolutions were also adopted ex-
pressive of confidence in President Arthur,
Faod rendering him the chambers sincere and
lied to appoint committee of thirteen to

THE SURGEONS JUSTIFIED.

THE SURGEONS JUSTIFIED.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 20.-The following
official bulletin was prepared at IL o'clock to-
night, by the surgeons who have been in at
tendance upon the late president:
LONG BRANCH, Sept. 2O.-By previous ar
rangement, post mortem of the body of
President Garfield was made this afternoon,
in the presence and with the assistance of
Drs. Hamilton, Agnew, Bliss, Barnes, Wood
ward, Reyburn and Andrew II. Smith, of El-
boron, and Acting Assistant Surgeon D. j.
Lamb, of the army medical museum, Wash
ington. The operation was performed by DR..
Lamb. 1t was found that the ball, after frac-
turing the right eleventh rib, has passed
through the spinal colum in front of the
spinal canal, fracturing the body of the first
lumbar vertebrae, driving number OF small
fragments of bone into adjacent parts, and
lodged just below the pancreas, about, two
inches and a half to the left of the
spine and beyond the peritoneum,
where it had become completely encysted. The
immediate cause of death was secondary hem
orrhage from one of the mesentric arteries
adjoining the track of the ball, the blood rup-
turing the peritonium and nearly a pint es-
Gaping in the abdominal cavity. This hem
Orrhage is believed to be the cause of the &C.
just before death. An abscess six inches by
four in dimensions was found in the vicinity
of the gall bladder, between the liver and the
transverse collar, which were strangely inter-
adherent. It did not involve the substance OF
the liver, and no communication was found
between it and the wound along the suppor-
ating channel between the loin muscles and
the right kidney, almost to the right groin.
The channel, now known to be due to the bur-
rowing of the pus from the wound was sup
posed during life to have been the track
of the ball. On examination of the
organs Of the chest, evidences of severe bron-
chitis were found on both sides, with bron-
cho-pneumonia of the lower portion of the
right lung. The lung was free from assesses,
nor were any found in any other organ except
the left kidney, which contained near its sur
face a small abscess about oue-third of an inch
in diameter. In reviewing the history of the
case in connection with the autopsy, it is
quite evident chat the different suppurating
surfaces and especially the fractured tissue OF
the vertebra furnish sufficient explanation of
the septic condition which existed.
