President Garfield's Brother

There was one plain and quiet
mourner in the company Of the nearest
and dearest at the great funeral in
Cleveland, whose deep sorrow must
have been strangely mingled with pride.
Thomas Garfield, the elder brother of
James, now a simple citizen Of Grand
Rapids, Mich, as he witnessed the
marvellous demonstrations OF respect and
affection for the late President, must
have recalled with satisfaction the days
of his boyhood, his early and long-con-
tinued struggles to support his mother
and younger brothers and sisters, and
particularly the not easy sacrifice of his
desire for education and advancement,
that his gifted brother might have the
opportunity which he, too, craved. The
first small wages which Thomas earned as
a boy Of 0 or a dozen years, it is related,
he carried home and threw in his moth
er's lap, saying, " Now James can have
a pair of Shoes" Truly the greatest he
rOisms of this life are oftentimes the
simplest. Untimely as the death of
his brother has been, Thomas Garfield
must feel that in the grand achieve
ment, the noble influence, and the
world wide appreciation of the life now
closed, he has lived to reap his abun-
dant reward for those early struggles

Poor Accom- moGations at Yorktown

YORKTOWN, Oct. 13.-Every incom-
ing steamboat is bringing crowds to the
Centennial. The national days are
from the 10Th to the Dist. 1t is esti-
mated that there will be 100000 people
outside of the camps. There are not
sleeping accommodations for more than
10000, and most Of these are cots,
crowded into barns, tents, etc. The
visitors that have arrived are greatly
disappointed. The most exorbitant
prices are charged for everything.
Rooms without board are to be $40 per
day. Twenty thousand military are ex-
pected. The most attractive feature
will be the French visitors. These will
be quartered at the Moore House. This
historical place was the scene of the
capitulation of Lord CORVALLIS. Wis
consin will have six companies of vol
unteers here. These will be quartered
on board steamer at the wharf, and
splendid arrangements have been made
for their accommodation. Virginia has
not appropriated a dollar toward the
success of the Centennial.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 13.-The an

vada Bank was called for yesterday,
but no quorum being present the meet

The Nevada Bank election was again
postponed to-day, and will probably be

No Nominations This Week

WASHINGTON. Oct. l3.-No Cabinet
nominations will be made this week.
Senators are anxious to adjourn by Sat
urday, but the President wants them to
stay until he returns from Yorktown,
so as to confirm some Cabinet nomina-
tions. In consequence of an earnest APP
peal, Postmaster General James is to
remain in the Cabinet until after the
Star route trials. It is not improbable
that Window may stay until December,
and also that when James goes Arthur
can succeed Window by a New Yorker.
Unless James goes now, the President
will feel obliged to choose WINDOWS
successor outside of New York.

The Brute.

WHEELING, w. Va, Oct. IA
very singular and daring robbery oc-
Cured yesterday morning. Mrs. Alex.
Otterson was awakened about 5 o'clock
by noise in her bedroom, and dis
covered a masked man in the act of
going through the bureau drawers. In
moving in the bed Mrs. Otterson at
tracted the attention of the robber, who
compelled her, at the muzzle of a pistol,
to rise, and, sitting her in chair, cut
off her hair, which was of an exceed
ingly luxurious growth. There was no
further molestation, and the robber de-
parted, making good his escape.

UNDER FIRE.

Probably no President of the United
States ever received as much cheap adj
vice in SO short time as Arthur has
since the Goth of last MONTH. His Cabi-
net has been selected for him, his
official duties, to the smallest details,
have been marked out for him, and
never was public man left SO little to do
for himself as Arthur has been left.
And then this advice has come from
men who do not want to see the Presi-
dent blunder, but who nevertheless
write and talk as though they were
afraid he wouldn't blunder. He may
have his weaknesses, may be of the
"machine" and all that, but there is
no gush about the man, and if the
never-tiring bores Of interv;ewers are
to be believed, no man, not even his
closest friend, has authority to state
what the new Presidents plans are.
Arthur is better listener than talker,
and this means much. Under the
heading of this article the Salt Lake
Tribune says:
If he never forgets that no one should
be rewarded solely because he is the
Presidents true friend land no one should
be prosecuted simply on the grounds
of personal enmity, he will succeed. He
should find plenty of comfort in reading
history. Grant was assailed with a
venom and mendacity never equaled
before, and yet when he left the chair
of the Chief Magistrate, one long ova-
ton followed him around the world.
The insolent gush of the present must
be harder to bear than the uncurbed
anger which will succeed the present
gush. His duties are all plain before
him. He has no entangling alliances;
the momentouS duties of his Office are
after all reduced to a few proportions.
They are all simple. He has but to do
his duty without fear or favor, and he
will succeed; but there will be such an
attempt to crush him as was never
made before by characterless and
press. We have faith that
he will triumph; but there will be
many time that he will think the
honors and emoluments of the Office are
a poor compensation for the wear and
tear Of the incumbent.

The Bulletin had railroad rumsr to
the effect that the South Pacific Coast
road-the narrow gauge between San
Francisco and Santa CruZ-had been
purchased by the Southern Pacific. 1t
now says that President Davis affirms
that the road has not been sold, and
that no proposition has been made to
sell it, no price has been named, and
no terms suggested. The company is
going right on with its business, does
not owe dollar, its traffic is increasing,
and owners will be well content with
moderate dividends on their invest
ment. President Davis ought to know
what is what, and his statement is ac-
cepted as setting at rest these rumors.

Baltimore sun.
According to az estimate made by
the indianapolis Sentinel the illness
and burial of the late President in
volved an expenditure Of about $347-
600. OF that sum $247, 900 was spent
at Cleveland and 100000 during the
patients struggle for life. Mr.. Gar
fields private secretary, Mr. Brown,
kept the run of things until the final
termination. He says that the doc
tors bills probably will prove to be
about $53, and that the average
daily expenses approximated $1,250.
The sick bel expenses, as Mr.. Brown
thinks, will be borne by Congress.
agd there seems to be settled con
clusion that the $247, 600 incurred at
Cleveland are to come out of the Ohio
State Treasury and the Cleveland
people. The decorations at Cleveland
cost 100000, the accommodations
100000, the arches $4,000, the cata-
falque $4,000, the music $4,000, and
so on. The transportation of the re
mains, from EIberon to Ohio was the
work of the Pennsylvania Company
which, it is understood. will make nc
charge, Accompanying the estimates
Of the sick bed and funeral expenses
is statement that Mrs. Garfield is
likely to receive a pension of at least
$4,000 year which will make heI
income about $4,000.

The Ousloox Of the Virginia
nraign.

The long and bitter campaign in
Virginia is nearing an end. A little
less than two weeks remain until the
election.
1t has been the most bitter cam
paign in the history Of the State. No
other has involved to a greater de-
gree the vital interests of the State.
The whole country has been looking
on with close attention, and it has
become, at least in its political aspects
largely a national issue.
One of the most conservative jour
nails of the State, the Dispatch, re-
views the situation from the present
standpoint as follows:
"Week by week, or day by day
rather, the prospects of the Demo
cratic candidates have grown bright
er. The people have been aroused
by the magnitude of the issues invol-
we'd in the pending campaign, and
have given such tokens of their zeal
and earnestness as that no man can
longer reasonably donbt that Daniel,
Barbour and Mckinney will be elected
triumphantly on the 9Th of next
month. 81
1t is a national contest in which
the Democrats of Virginia are now
engaged. The conduct of General
Malone in allying himself with the
Republican party, or rather we should
say in becoming Republican out
and out, has opened the eyes of the
men who followed him into the Read
juster party, and caused them to con
clude that it is time to retrace their
steps. With the aid of these repent
ent Mahonites, and Of the reserves
not brought into action either last
year or the year before, the real peo-
pie of Virginia will win next month
just such victory as they won in
1870.
The congressional districts are ex-
pected to go as follows:
In the first there will be majority
for the Democratic ticket
In the second the Readjusters will
offset the majority given in the first.
In the third the Democrats will get
majority.
The fourth will offset the third.
The fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and
ninth districts will all give Domo-
cratic majorities 1t is true the ninth
district is considered doubtful one
by some of our friends; but unless
our advices from it are totally unre-
liable it will vote for Davis.
Which one of the districts we have
claimed can the Coalitionists carry?
Look over the list and see for your
selves. Remember, too, that there
are ninety thousand voters in Vir-
ginia who did vote in 1859, and one
hundred and fifty thousand who did
not vote in 1879. These last are our
reserves. We called out sixty thou
sand of them last year and beat the
Readiusters more than three to one.
We shall call out hundred thousand
of them this year and bury the Read
justers once for all and have done
with them.

Interesting Cabinet Gossip.



President Arthur did not send in
the names of the members thus far
selected for the new Cabinet to-day,
and it is announced tonight he will
not until Monday. There will be but
two immediate changes-A successor
to Secretary Window and to Attor-
ney- General McVeigh. The Treas
ury was first offered to ex Senator
Conkling but he declined it. Then
the President sent for him, and labor
ed with him to accept, but he was per-
sistent in his refusal. He left here
quite unwell and is now down with
malaria. The President then tender
ed the Presidency to Ex-Governor
Morgan of New York, and up to the
time he left for Yorktown, the Presi-
dent believed he would accept. Upon
his return to-day, however, he found
a telegram from Governor Morgan, to
the effect that he had carefully consid-
cred the matter, and was constrained
to decline the Office. This for the
reason that he is now over seventy
years of age, and that in view of the
vast details Of the Treasury Depart
ment he did not feel like assuming
the responsibilities. His declination
he will not reconsider. One reason
more than any other which probably
constrained Morgan to decline the
Treasury is because it would neces-
state his giving up his commercial
bus1aess. He is now at the head of
the largest of any house in New York
in the sugar and coffee trade. OF
course, this disarranged the Presi-
dents plans, and it may even be later
than Monday before he win be ready.

The SURRENDER of CORVALLIS.

The hundredth anniversary of the
formal capitulation of CORVALLIS was
celebrated the 18th inst. at Yorktown
By the gathering Of thousands to hear
patriotic and congratulatory adj
dresses by Prest. Arthur and others
commemorating the event. The day
was fair, and the crisp October wealth
er impaired animation to both speak
ers and listeners, both of whom had
been sorely tried by the sweltering
heat of the preceding days. Presi-
dent Arthur spoke briefly and with
great good judgment, dignity and
taste, of the import OF the present
proceedings, disclaiming the idea that
they were tinged with any feeling OF
resentment to England, but were an
mated only by desire to contem-
plate upon the scene Of their triumph
the unfaltering patriotism, the sturdy
zeal and sublime faith Of our ances-
tors. "Liberty protected by law"
the President declared to be the her
itage won for us by their exertions.
Hearty acknowledgements Of our
weighty obligations to France were
made, and the ardent wish expressed
that the amicable relations with that
country, (which have outlasted the
mutations Of changeful century,"
may continue to subsist unchanged.
The Presidents speech was followed
by addresses by Secretary Blaine, Nj.
Outrey, the French minister, Mar
quis de Rocilambeau and Baron Won
Steuben who was succeeded in con-
clusion by Mr.. Robert Winthrop in a
formal Grafton. The prose concluded,
the ode of MIR. Paul Hayne was rem
dered, and the poem, Arms and the
man" by James Barron Hope of Vir-
ginia, was recited. The programme
of the day WAS concluded by recep-
tion held by the President st Latay-
cite Hail. M. Outrey, in his address
expressed with warmth Frances APP
probation Of "the manifestation of
public sympathy following the mi
tiative taken by the Congress Of the
United States" and said his country

national festival, mot only an act of
the highest courtesy, but especially

recalling her defeat to wound the
susceptibilities of England, now our

to the marvellous development of the

guests, and the people of America

The Great Lever.

An eastern exchange asks: Are
we coming to be governed by news
papers? Yes, and the sooner this
fact is recognized by aspirants for
office, and those selected to make and
execute our State and National laws
the better it will be for public inter
ests and the educational welfare of
the people. The days Of stump ora
tory, as Grosbeck, of Ohio, puts it,
are passing away. True oratory
reached it's full impressiveness and
efficiency in the days Of Patrick Hen
ry. The press has supplanted the
stump orator and almost the forum
The best pulpits of the land are fee
bic when unsupported and uninter
preted and unrecorded by the news
paper power And the statesmen
who ignore the knight of the quill
will be ignored in the push and in
telligence of the present day. Some
one has truly said
"Intelligent people have already
seen in the newspapers fuller and
more pointed discussions of all pub
lie questions than the peripatetic at
mosphere disturbers are likely to give
them. Life is too short and too bu-
sy to give up half day to hearing
"the other side" in politics abused,
ones own party gloritied, and a lot
of Joe Miller stories furnished up
for fresh campaign"
The citizen, as he takes up his Sat
urday evening paper in his own
home, can learn more of all that con-
Germs human welfare in an hour, than
of old he could gather by trampin9
over the country listening to stump
orators in a week. The orator gov
erned and influenced by impulse and
prejudice and pathos, as evanescent
as the mind. The press governs by
instructing, by arguments and facts,
and by suggestions, which remain
with and influence the reader long
after he has thrown the paper aside.

JONES AND RAW EGGs.-Jones is a
colored boy. Jones sells sandwiches,
coffee and boiled eggs to passengers
on the night train. Jones was wait
ing the other night, as usual, with
his lunch kit, at the depot, with eyes
too heavy for close picket duty, when
a wicked policeman slipped all his
boiled eggs from his kit and re-
placed them with raw eggs. The
train was on time. Jones, opening
his big eyes, was on time too, and
presently was doing lively and lu-
cratiye business in hard boiled eggs
among the hungry passengers.
But it didn't last. There was a
bear movement, and eggs came down.
"Here, you Niger" cried a custom
er, Of muscle and decision, "this
eggs raw"-and dash it went into
Jones face, giving it the look of a
demoralized hen s-nest. When Jones
got his eyes open the situation was
alarming. A little child here was
holding up its egg besmeared hands
and crying piteously, a lady there
was agonizing over her egg bespat-
tered silks, and the promiscuous
swearing that had just burst forth
like storm was enough to Brighten
all the army of Joneses that ever
mustered. Jones tried to put in a
defense--"Fo' de Lord, misses, dem
eggs was billed blessed hour" But
it was no use to argue against his
own eyes, that were full of raw
egg. Jones was forced to beat re-
treat under heavy fire. Jones now
confines his trade to sandwiches and
coffee. Jones has no confidence in
eggs, he hasn't. -Parkers6urg Free
