AMERICANS IN PARIS.
The HerGId'S cable has the following
de ais OF the meeting Of Americans in
Paris: The American colony attended
almost en- mGSSe. There were also pres
ent many foreign celebrities, among
whom particularly noticed Pere Hya-
cinthe. The communion rails, the pull
pit, organ loft s1d the chairs set apart
for the committee vera drsped with
Grape. The stars and stripes dropped
sadly from the pulpit front and covered
the chairmsn's table. After the Lords
Prayer had been resd and Hsndel's
ANGELS Ever Bright and Fair" had been
sung by Miss Hall, the business of the
Day was introduced by few feeling re-
marks by Minister Morton.
Ex-Governor Hoffman spoke ss fol-
lows:
M. Ciatrm0n-The whole American
p.opls mourn the death of the President,
and the whole civilized world bows its
head in sympathy. To me, as citizen
Of the United States Of America, the
greet and may say only conseling fact
IN connection with the manner Of the
Presidents death is the fact that the as
sassin was not an instrument or repre-
sentative Of ambitious men seeking
power, or of an oppressed and discOn-
tented people seeking relief. The crime
was, therefore, without political signif-
canoe. 1t was, and l say it with deiiber-
alton, the act Of an individual insane
enough to commit the great offense with
out pIovocation and yet, so far as is now
known, sane enough to be held respon-
sible for it. Whether this last be so or
not will be determined not by arbitrary
power or q military tribunal, but in the
ordinary course of judicial proceedings,
where vengeance will have no place and
where the msjelty Of the law will be as
serted and the principles Of exact justice
vindicated.
Ex-Governor Hoffmsn then moved a
series OF six resolutions, giving eloquent
expression to the grief Of Americans now
in Paris, rendering most heartfelt con-
doleuce to President Garfeld's heroic
widow, thanking the great people of
France for the sympathy they had given
Americans on the present occasion, as
on the death Of Washington and OF Lin
coin, and proposing that bearing in
mind the grave responsibility Of Mr..
Arthur all parties should extend to him
a generous confidence"
Minister Morton then called on several
distinguished citizens of the United
States, TO address q meeting. The first to
respond was Ex-senator Csttell, who In
moving accents spoke OF the personal
nobility of General Garfield. He was
followed BY Mr.. Daniel Doughertv, who.
amid applause, said he trusted that 81
political strife and hatred might be buried
in General Gsrfeld's grave. Mr.. John
Jay reminded the meeting that within
twenty years two presidents hsd bean
added TO the list of murdered rulers. he
hoped that the successor OF President
Garfield would show the world by con-
tinuing the good work which his chief
had begun, that the whole policy Of the
nstion was not to be changed ey the act
Of an assassin. Rev. DR.. Tying, William
Allen Butler, General Meredith read,
and one or two other gentlemen having
paid tributes to the character of the
msrtyred president, the resolutions were
unanimously voted. The choir sang the
hymn "Sleep, thy last sleep" and at 6
o'clock the meeting broke up.
Washington, p. Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad officers te.egraphed to-day that
they will put rpecial train with a sleep
ing car attached, at the service ofne1s-
paper men going to Cleveland. and &c.
there one hour ahead Of the funessI
train, without charge. The floral orna-
ments sent to the Capitol are grandly
beautiful and appropriate. There is
scarcely anything in the face of the deed
President to recall that manly, kindly
ceuntenance which was so familiar Ia
people here. His long suffering reduced
him to mere skeleton, and his skin was
discolored and highly drawn. Many
who admired him in life regretted that
| they had looked at the corpse.
