was not, indeed, the equal of these men in
personal greatness, and Yet, in some respects,
his life was nobler than theirs They We're
the representatives of absolute power, which
imposed their rule upon a long-sutferinr
but rebellouS people; lie was chosen by the
conSenting voice of Trecnlen to he their
Chief Ruler, and his life was interviewer
with the highest aspirations of happy,
united and prosperous people. For this
reason there is sincere sorrow in city, town
and hamlet through out this broad land to-
day. We mourn the Nations loss and each
citizen feels personal regret. This is the
cheering characteristic of the hour.
We have all read the accounts of that
solemn funeral procession which a few days
since began its sad journey from Capitol
Hill to Cleveland. 1t must have been a
scene not soon to be forgotten. The glitter
! ing arms and banners Respondent in the
sunshine, the official dignitaries, the long
array of civic and military orders, the sor-
rowing woman and her children, the air
reSounding with the thunders of artillery,
and anon, swelling to the sound of the wall
ing clarion and mutfiei drum, the awful
hush of the listening thousands, Sail must
have combined to make scene Of regal
Splendor far surprising the Field of the
Cloth of Gold, and all the knightly pageants
of the days Of chivairy romance. Yet
grand and appropriate as it was, that was
/ not the noble>t tribute to his memory. Bet
ter far that, in the homes and by the hearth
stones of fifty millions of freemen, there
are patriotic hearts heavy with sorrow for
the Nations loss: that all good citizens,
without respect to sect or party, when they
recall his manly fortitude under the suffer
inss of his last hours, think of the brave
man and those who We're dear to him. in
kindness and in love.
The tragedy of July end was Il disgrace
and blot upon our free institutions. Yet,
may we not see in the universal sorrow the
touchstone of real nationality? May not
/ our God, who sitteth in the Heavens and
| Shapeth the deStinies of Nations, teach us
by this humiliation that we are after all OF
one blood and one nation Shall we not
from hencetorth at least strive to he one
people in the spirit of our Constitution
which knows no North, no South, no East,
no West, but embraces them all in the com
! prehcnsive and generous scope OF a genuine
nationality. This is the thought which
should be uppermost in our minds to-day.
Again. this thought. Garfield is dead
but the Republic still lives. No one man,
however exalted his position, is necessary
to the existence Of this Nation. Within an

TO the chair.
On taking the chair Mr. Bayard said:
Senator'S fully appreciate the honor put
upon me by this expression of your conf
dence, and in assuming the duties of Presi-
dent pro TEN. of the Senate in obedience to
the law and in accordance with the rules OF
this body and the vote of the majority, |

shall continue to exercise its duties shall re-
ceive YOUR cooperation and friendly aid, which
/ now earnestly and confidently invoke at your
hands. We are all painfully mindful of the
unusual circumstances under which we meet
and of the national bereavement which has
caused this special session of the Senate.
May it not be hoped that, touched by q sense
of common sorrow and chastened by grief
that penetrates every household in one great
family of States, our proceedings may be
marked bv a spirit of concession and harmony
and generous consideration for mutual differ
ences of opinion. the softening of partisan as.
perities and a high intent to perform our du-
ties in a manner responsive to the demands
of the occasion and the best interests OF our
common country. With such hopes and in
such spirit | now assume, and shall endeav-
vor to perform, the duties of the high position
to which your favor has assigned me.

one which may soon come under discussion.
Whatever may be the views or crotchets OF
hair-splitting constitutional lawyers upon the
point, one thing is certain, that the people OF
the United States desire certainty and stablll-
ty in the matter. and will be slow to tolerate
the idea of the constitutional successor to the
presidency being the occasional or accidental
and shifting choice of the Senate, as Senator
Edmunds seems inclined to argue is thecase.
The Philadelphia Ledger, Grant paper,
on Tuesday last, spoke editcrialy as follows
upon the right of the Democrats to elect
President pro TEN. and of their choice for
presiding officer:
There was claim and counter claim during
the day, parliamentary tacticts and strategy,
insistance on one side and complaint on the
other, but q result was arrived at without
rupture or disorder 1t was an unequal con-
test, as the Democrats had the advantage of
both temporary majority and of express
law. There was ingenious argument thatthe
law was not intended to apply to conditions
such as those in which the Senate found IT
self; but, plausible as it was, the law as it
stood had to rule the case. There were three
newly chosen Senators to be sworn in, and as
10 them the law read THE oath of office
shall be administered by the President Of the
Senate to each Senator who shall hereafter be
elected before he shall take his seat. There
was but one way to enforce this law, and that
was for the duly qualified Senators TO choose
a President pro tenn, who ceuldthen proceed
to qualify the new Senators. So far, the
Democratic Senators having law on their side
as well Is Inc weight of numbers, no one can
reasonably complain of them for adhering to
the advantage OF their position. And espe-
cialIy is there but little reason to complain,
seeing that their choice for presiding officer
is Sena.ar Bayard-a fair and able mana
Senator that no brother Senator fears will be
otherwise than Impartial President pro
tenn. who is equal in all respects to the capa-
BILE and faithful discharge of the duties Of the
high Office of President of the United States
if unhappily another fatality, such as the ma
ton has experienced, should devolve the du-
ties on him.

Baltimore's first annual October eelebra-
ton is over, and the holiday aspect of her
streets has disappeared. To the immense
throng present Western Maryland contributed
a vast proportion. Eleven hundred and thir-
tv-one tickets we're sold at the depot in this
city, and for several days Westminster looked
almost depopulated. The Taylor Manutae-
turing Company's works were closed on Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday, the Western
Maryland College allowed the students hoil-
day on Tuesday, and many dwellings were
closed, entire families being of to the Oriole.
The Western Maryland Railroad was taxed 70
its utmost capacity, and all trains we're out of
time from Saturday evening until Thursday.
The road carried more passengers to Baitl-
more than any other, except the Baltimore
Ohio. On Tuesday, alone, it transported g.
226 persons to the 0riole. 1t carried over
