Unseemly Decorations.

NEW YORK, Sept. ,2s.-The profuss mourn
ing decorations Of the city have been mainly
decorous; but when folds Of black and white
are seductively twisted among goods in the
show windows, and dolls and toys on sale
are dressed in habitaments Of woe, and bot
ties of the barkeepers are in a like manner
rugged up, and even joints Of the butchers
stalls, the bounds of, good taste are over.
Looped from a rope across Hamilton street,
near the Cstharine crossing, hangs an effigy
that has caused throngs to gather within the
reach Of 1t since yesterday evening. On the
breast is a placard with the insc ription,
"Guiteau; the verdict tho people expect
The efigy Of Guiteau, which was hanged in
Washington street, Brooklyn, Tuesday, was
cut down by the police yesterday and taken
to the station.

Democratic Organization Of Senate

WASHINGTON, Sept. Ex-senator Hayard
his morning said lie had yet to hear Of at
Senator Of either party who expected the Sem
ate to organize except with the election of a
Democratic presiding officer. Previous to
the admission of the new Senators the Clerk
would also be necessarily elected to COM
plete the organization and for making the
record. Tie other officers who are Lot nee
essary to proper organization for business
would not be elected subsequently to the all
mission OF the new Senators. Any changes
in committees would have to be made when
the Senate is full, as the Democrats would be
exactly equal in numbers to the Republicans.
He thought they would demand and receive
without resistance equal representation upon
all committees. OF course, this meant the
organization of them ; but it would be done
by agreement and without excitement. He
thought those who looked for an exciting ses-
sion Of The Senate would be disappointed. 1t
would probably be the quietest in j story.
The session heed not take more than a week.

Swearing in Arthur.

NEW YORK, September 2'.-An extract

out of court and deferred until Judge Dona-
hoes arrival At a little after 2 o'clock wit

lor. It is a large room, the carpet is soft and
deep, and Of a dark tint, and heavy curtains
to match the icarpet hang from the French

special order has been received from the Ma

nd usefulness, OH the eve of his departure
from the Capitol in search of much needed
rest from the tolls and cares of office, our
Chief Magistrate, the President aud COM
mander in Chief, James A. Garfield, after
succumbed to the dread summons and yield
ed up his life at Elberon, upon the eve of the
10Th inst. The nation mourns his loss. His
funeral services will take place at
Cleveland, Ohio, on the twenty-sixth inst.
1t is emlnently fit and proper that special
honor should be paid to the memory of the
late President on that day, and the Depart
ment therefore directs that at all naval sta
lions anu on board all vessels in commission
the flags shall be at half mast from sunrise
to sunset, and a gun fired every half hour
during that period. . The period of MOURN
ing by half masted colors will cease at sun-
set. On foreign stations this order will be
carried out Oh the day after its receipt. The
Navy Yards will be closed and all work sus-
pended during the day. Officers of the Navy
and Marine Corps will, a, a further mark of
respect, wear Grape on the left ann and
sword knots for six months from the TWEEN
