rier says that in the history Of the United
States President Garfield will be remembered
as he whose nomination by the National Re-
publican Convention, strargled Imperialism in
its cradle, and as he whose assassinatio was
swiftly followed by an on tburst of sorrow and
sympathy, which manifested to the North the
true nature of the South and did more than
arguments, prayers and common intercourse
of these five years to bring together people
whom war had made separate. BY the she'd
ding of blood the North and Sontb were sun
dered, and through the shedding of blood they
are united.

where.
CLEVELAND, Sept. 19.-The Leader says:
IL is hard for us, who have known James A.

The DEAD PRESIDENTS MOTHER.
How She Received the News of Her
Sons Death

CLEVELAND. Sept. 20.-The Heralds special
from Scion says the news was broken to Mrs.
Garfield about o'clock this morning. At
first she was very much shocked but soon came
to and talked calmly She said, st was prob
ably all for the best if the people were ready
receive it, She then said, "It Is not possible
that my son James is dead. do not wish to
live any longer. / will soon be with him.
Until three days ago full particulars of the
situation were telegraphed with the greatest
regularity to friends at Scion. Since that date
only meagre dispatches have been sent, and
the suspense Of the household can only be i'm
agined. During the last week or two the gem
eral health OF the Presidents norher has been
remarkably good. Monday evening the only
dispatch received reached the Scion Office at
$50 and was Immediately delivered. During
all these days of suspense since July I'd the
mother of the President remained hopeful.
Mrs. Larabee, his sister, on the contrary has
had feelings of disbursement and fear from
the first. Even on the day he left Mentor she
says her mind was filled with vague forebod-
ings which she could not drive away. The eff
feet OF this telegram was reassuring however,
and Mrs. Garfield retired with feelings of quiet
cheerfulness. During the day she had been
constantly bnsyins herself about the house,
saying: IF am ctive l stall be able 10 sleep

Expressions of Representative South ern
Journals.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, Sept. 20 The Courier
journal says:
The President is dead, and all the nations,
responding to that touch of sympathy which
makes the whole world kin, stand uncovered
in the presence of a Calamity, for tragedies are
ever calamities and are doably so when they
spring from murder AMI attach themselves to
the head of the State, the sYtnbol of its power,
the representative of the people aud the law.
If ever mortal stood in these relations to his
country and his time this man did so.
CHATTANOOGA. Tenn, Sept. 2O.-Tne Times
says:
If Mr.. Arthur is at all wise, if he is as wise
as bis enemies think him 10 be, he will take
up the thread of the executive business where
the -palsied hand has dropped il, and carry for
ward the affairs of the high Office to which
beinous crime has elevated him, without a jar
the present successful policy.
ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 20.-The Daily Consti-
tuition says:
The death of James A. Garfield is two
fold calamity. The country loses the services
of President possessing rarest qualifications
for the performance of all the duties that lay
before him, and the South loses a friend capa
BILE of thoroughly sympathzng with the diff
fculties of the grave problems which are the
legacies of the war.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 20.-The Times
says:
Throughout our whole land parties stand dis
armed. and citizens bitterly deplore the death
of James A. Garfield Henceforth he lives ia
memory; and though he was permitted to ac-
complish but little during his Presidential ser
vices, by his death he has given to his country
men deeper scrutiny into themselves, most
precious service.

LONG BRANCH, Sept. 20-112O P. M-The
following official bulletin WAS prepared at IL
O'Clock tonight by the surgeons who have
been in attendance upon the President:
BY previous arrangement post mortem ex-
animation OF the body of President Garfield
was made this afternoon in the presence aud
with the assistance of Doctors Hamilton, Ag-
new, Bliss, Barnes, Woodward. Reg burn, An-
drew Ill. Smith OF Elberon, and Acting Assist
ant Surgeon d. S. Lamb of the Army Medical
Museum, Washington. The operation was
performed by DR.. Lamb. 1t was found that
the ball, after fracturing the right eleventh
rib, had passed through the spinal column in
front of the spinal canal, fracturing the body
OF the first lumbar veTtebrae, driving num-
Der of small fragments of bone iuto adjacent
soft parts,and lodging just below the pancreas,
about two inches and half to the left of the
spine, and behind the peritoneum. where it
had become completely encysted. The imme
diate cause of death was secondary hemorrhaee
from one of the mesenteric arteries adjoining
the back OF the ball. The blood rupturing the
peritoneum and nearly a. pint escaping
into the abdominal cavity This hemorrhage
is believed to have been the cause of the severe
pain in the lower part of the chest, complained
OF just before DEATH An abscess cavity six
inches by four in dimensions was found in the
vicinity of the gal bladder between the liver
and the transverse colon, which were strongly
interadherent. 1t did not involve the SUBJ
stance of the liver, and no communication was
found between 1t and the wound. although
the suppurating channel extended from the ex-
ternal wound between the loin muscles and
the right kidney almost to the right groin.
This channel now known to be due to the bur-
rowing of pus from the wound was supposed
during life to have been the track of the ball.
On an examination of the organs of the
chest evidences of severe bronchitis were
found on both sides with broncho-pneumonia
OF the lower portion of the right lung and,
though TO a much less extent, of the left. Tue
lungs contained no assesses and the heart no
cots. The liver was enlarged and fatty, but
free from assesses nor were any found in any
other organ except the left kidney which con-
tanned near its surface a small abscess, about
of an inch in diameter.
In reviewing the history of the case In con-
nection with the autopsy it is quite evident
that the different suppurating sutaces and es-
peciaily the fractured spongy tissue of the YER
tebrae furnish sufficient explanation of the
septic condition which existed
