to be heard expressed by all classes, in conver,
sation on the streets, on railroad trains, and at
places of public resort, is that the death OF

in the west end of the city are displayed at
half mast

graph announces: The news of the death OF
the president was received here with a univer-

number of public and private buildings and on
the shipping.

1T Ought to Shame Them,
New York World.1

New York World
Minnesota bondholders will find in our
dispatches from St. Paul another proof
of our position that Republicans are
marching on to repudiation by the way
of Richmond, and under the lead of Ma
hone and the sscomm:ttee of safety
called the cabinet; for the Minnesota su-
preme court ON Saturday last issued a
writ of prohibition against further pro-
ceedings on the part of the tribunal au-
thorlzed by the last legislature to adjust
it's defaulted bonds. We said at the time
of the passage of that enabling act that
it was temporary expedient to lull dem
oeratic protest against the shameless re-
pudiation by rich. State of obligations
declared to be not only honorable but
valid by three legal tribunals. The su-
preme court determines that the act is
unconstitutional because any project to
pay the bonds must be submitted to a
popular vote. But this submission was
made once before and defeated by about
the average Republican majority which
rules the state. All honest men will
hope that a singing defeat of the Repub-
lican alliance in Virginia with repudia-
tion may tend to shame the Minnesota
Republicans next year into assisting Min
nesota Democrats to wipe out the stain of
reputation from their State.

address by Judge Nelson.

The United States circuit court opened al
10 O'Clock yesterday morning, pursuant to
adjournment. The jurymen were in their
places ready to proceed with the Harwood
case, but there was an absence of the usual
hustle and excitement preceding the opening
of court. A few interested lawyers conversed
| in low tones and the room was pervaded by
an air of usual solemnity.
Judge Nelson took his seat at 10 o'clock and
at once addressed the members of the bar and
jury as follows:
ga great calamity has befallen this govern
| ment by the death of its chief magistrate.
Amid times of prosperity-at the outset of a
| career promising much good to the country
| when the eloquent words of his inaugural
scarcely had died upon the ear. Gen. Garfield
| was stricken by the bullet of an assassin. His
strong and vigorous constitution was sapped
and mined, and he expired last evening, sur
/ rounded by devoted family and friends. The
| work of the assassinls complete. The people
| mourn his death, though not unexpected. 1t
! is proper that we give expression of our sOr-
rev at this sad bereavement l leave it with
you, gentlemen, to suggest the method.'
After the court had concluded, Hon. John
NJ. Gilman arose, and after alluding to the ma
tional calamity in appropriate terms, he moved
that the court adjourn until this morning.
Inc mOtlOn was accepCcu unanimously, WHeIe-
upon the clerk was directed to engross the
order, and the court adjourned until IL O'Clock
this morning,
THE CITY AUTHORITIES.
Mayor Rice was at his office early yesterday
morning and conferred with several officials
as to the propriety of draping the city hall
and taking such other action OF public char
acter as was deemed proper. 1t was decided
to drape the outside of the building and the
offices therein with appropriate emblems OF
mourning, and also the several fire engine
| houses. In addition to this proclamation
was issued causing the city hall bell to be
tolled from l2 o'clock up to O'Clock and in
viting the clergy of the churches to join in
the latter tribute.

worst fears have been confirmed and James A.
Garfield, president of the United States, is
dead by the hand of the most disreputable
of scoundrels whom it would be stretch OF
charity to call mad man. This
greet and good president, this
fond husband, this loving father,
this noble gentleman has been slain. Strange
that the bullets of brave foemen should have
in fair fight spared him for such fate.
Sad indeed is it that such glorious being, SO
useful, SO powerful, so manly, SO excellent
should become the victim of SO vile q
reptile. We bow to the dispensations
of God and question them not. To him
we leave the viAdications and ends of
justice. The heart of the South bleeds for
the stricken mother and children of the
president. Upon his dead body we lay i'm.
mortelles-a wreath of trust, sorrow and
regret. Innocent of the murder OF Lincoln
the South suffered long years OF
agony and persecution for anothers
crime. Innocent of the assassination of Gar.
| field, the South, fearless of the future and
forgetful of the past, stands tearfully beside
the relics of the president and prays that the
| storm lashed spirit shall have the rest of the
righteous, and sanctuary in that haven
| where, lulled to slumber, grief forgets to
mourn

Back to the Beginning.
rNL T - DII:

The responsibility of the State of Min
nesota for certain railroad bonds issued
many years ago has been a subject of act
i've dispute in that State. The interest
on the bonds has not been paid, and the
State authorities have refused to recog-
nize the debt involved; but the clamor of
the bondholders and the pressure of pub
lie opinion outside the State became so
great that the legislature last winter en-
acted law providing for a special tribu-
nal to determine whether the bonds
should be paid or not But when this
special trio-nal was organized and ready
too proceed to business, the supreme
court of the State was applied to for a
writ of injunction against its action-and
we now learn that the writ has been
granted. The court decides that
the act of last winter au-
thorizing the special tribunal
is unconstitutional and void, because 1t
delegates legislative powers to the body;
and that the constitutional amendment
adopted several years ago, requiring every
law for the payment of bonds already
issued to be submitted to the people, is
void also, because it impairs the obliga-
ton of contracts. The whole question is
thus put back where 1t was at the begin
ming, the decision of the court being,
virtually, that the legislature has no au-
thority to do anything in the matter but
make provision for payment of the bonds.
They were issued more than twenty one
years ago, and, with the unpaid interest
on them, make a debt Of over $1,000, 900.

Alderman Cornish arose and said: As we

CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 19.-News of Presi-
dent Garfield's death was received at 1870 to-
night. Though not unexpected it spread like
wild fire, and caused profound sensation OF
sorrow in this, his native county. His
loss is universally regarded almost
focked to the newspaper and telegraph offices
to learn particulars and manifestations of
grief were pronounced, many weeping as
though they had lost their brother. The
bells tolled as if spontaneously. Dispatches
from all parts of northern Ohio state church
and fire bells aro tolling and
great excitement prevails every
where the deepest sympathy is expressed
for the stricken mother and family. The trus-
tees of Lake View cemetery, the beautiful city
of the dead just outside the limits of Cleve-
land, overlooking Lake Erie, have authorized
their president, Hon. Jas. Wade, to telegraph
the widow offering her any lot in the ceme-
tn the final resting place of the presidents re-
mains. In the same cemetery reposc the
bodies of the presidents Uncle Thomas,
killed by train fortnight before the assas
sination, and a cousin who died few years
ago. A meeting of prominent citizens was
held late tonight at the mayors office to take
draped in the deepest mourning. Bells will
be tolled all night, and tomorrow guns
will be fired from daylight until sunset.
COLUMBUS, O., Sept 19.-News of the

the sad news to the city.
LOUISVILLE, Sept. 19.-The anxiety of the
people has been intense all day. The bulletin
boards have been surrounded by quiet but
excited crowd. The long struggle
for life has excited deeper
feeling than did the first announcement OF the
attack on the president. The news of the af-
ternoon made the people believe that he might
linger for few days at least, and there were
few on the street when the news of his death
reached here at midnight. Bells were tolled
and the people knew that the end had come.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The city was deeply
stirred by news of the death of the president.
The sad intelligence was quickly conveyed
from the telegraph offices to the tower of st.
Paul church, where men had been on duty for
some weeks. The bell was at once tolled
and the sound was taken up by other churches
under the direction of Trinity, and in short
time all awake were made aware OF the
calamity that had befallen the nation. The
telegraph bears from all sections of the coun-
try tributes to the worth of the dead presi-
dent. The tolling of the bells, north, south,
east and west, gave the people the news OF the
Death, and meetings have been called in many
places, that proper expression may be made
to the all prevailing sorrow.

complete it, can scarcely be profitable.
In accepting nomina1ly more important

God in his infinite goodness requires it, and
this morning, from the depths OF our grief
stricken hearts, all Americans can and will

bound together in one common sorrow. We
