wisdom, integrity and thrift is on every
hand No foreign legislation has been
heard, and no adequate reason is apparent
for an unusual session of Congress. The
Constitution defines the functions and
powers of the executive as clearly as those
of either of the other departments of the
Government. and he must answer for a just
exercise of the discretion it permits,
and perform the duties it imposes. Sum-
lnoned to these high duties and response
bilities, and profoundly conscious of their
magnitude and gravity, I assume the trust
imposed by the constitution, relying for
aid on Divine guidance and the support
and intelligence of the American people,

under the lead of Rear Admiral Nicols.
The Marine Band played Nearer my God
to Thee, while every head bowed and
many eyes were dimmed. The sweetly
familiar strains, the silence and multitude,
and the sad surroundings formed picture
never to be forgotten. The carriages con
tanning the ladies did not accompany the
remains to the Capitol President Arthur's
carriage followed Immediately after the
hearse. In it were President Arthur,
Blaine, Waite and Window. The carriage
containing Mrs. Garfield and daughter was
driven down Pennsylvania Avenue to Four
and half street, thence to MacVeagh.s S
residence, where they remain. As soon as
the last of the party entered the carriages,
the bugle signal was given, the Military
formed IN line, and the possession moved
slowly up the avenue. The sidewalks were
filled from Sixth street TO the Capitol. The
crowd was as great as upon the Presidents
Inauguration.
ygNo sound was heard save the tramp of
men and horses. At the east front of the
capitol, the assemblage awaited the arrival
of the eortage. At the foot of the steps in
double file were the Senators and Repre-
seEtatives waiting to escort the remains
into the rotunda At $40 the head of the
procession, moving around the south side,
arrived at the east front. The arms OF the
military were reversed, the band playing a
dead march. The troops then carrying
their arms came to front face while
with muff1ed drums the hearse and car
riages drew slowly up. The coffin was
lifted from the hearse, and the army and
navy officers drew up on either side and
the band played again the dear old hymn,
as with solemn tread the remains of Pres
ident Garfield were borne into the rotunda
and placed on the catalogue.
| At 5:25 the coffin was opened and the
face of the late President exposed. Presi-
dent Arthur and Secretary Blaine approach
ed and gazed upon the face, then sadly
passed out of the hall The line was form
ed and one by one those present advanced
and gazed at the emaciated face.
! The public at large was then admitted.
The body viii be in state till Friday even
ing, At night the dim light from the dome,
| shining upon the rotunda and the cold still
| face, heightened the solemnity of the
| scene.
On leaving the Capitol, President Arthur
drove directly to the residence of Senator
Jones.
| Mrs Garfield to-day expressed sincere
desire not again to see the White House,
where she has passed so many days of sor
row and anxiety. She will not visit it while
| here.

The u. =. Attorney for Idaho.

New York, May 23d.-The Sun, in
an editorial says: One of the last
nominations sent in by Garfield and
confirmed by the Democratic Senate
was that Of Wallace r. White, Of
Maine, to he United States Attorney
for Idaho Territory. 1t is not likely
that the President knew much about
him, or that McVeagh had sanctioned
him, as a suitable person to be prose-
cutting officer for the Government.
This is an appointment for which
Blaine is PROFESSIONALLY and entirely
responsible, and under the circun-
stances it is about the most shame
lessly indecent appointment ever pro.
cured by any Cabinet officer.
This is the way Kansas paper
talks about the new prohibitory liquor
law which has gone into effect. ION
Saturday night the saloons Of Hays
ceased operations just as the clock
struck twelve, and liquor as bever-
age is one of our dead and gone is
sues. There was mild spree--no RI
otous outbreak, but powerful amount
of peaceful drinking. The number Of
jugs stored away was surprising, and,
singular to say, it was the supposed
non-drinking class that carried the
largest and most numerous species of
earthenware. 1t is all over. There
is a good deal Of Kicking" but it will

A Lompoc special to the Santa Bar
bara Press of May 22d, says: Last
night about IL o'clock the saloon OF
George Walker was literally blown
to pieces by the explosion OF oomo.
The sides Of the building were thrown
out and the second floor aud roof came
down with a crash. The bomb must
have been very large, as the houses IN
the vicinity were shaken and the earth
trembled violently. A Press reporter
visited the scene this morning and
found canned fruits, cigars, oranges,
nuts, and remnants of the saloon bus
mess scattered in all directions about
the premises. Two or three men usu-
ally slept in the kuilding, but happen
ed to be out of town last evening.
The house stood alone, so NJ damage
was done to other property. This was
the only saloon III the temperance COL
ony of Lompoc, and moral suasion has
been employed to the fullest extent to
induce its keeper to give up the liquor
business. The temperance colonists
declare that no liquor shall be sold in
Lompoc, and not long since four bomb
shells were thrown into the saloon of
George Butchart. and he was com
PEELED to quit business. Public SYM
pathy here is in full accord with the
act.

Governor Ovcrton, of the Chicka-
saw Nation, has gathered together an
army of 800 men, and has issued an
order that Texas cattle laisers, and
white men generally, must leave the
country before June 1st or force will
be used. A similar situation prevails
in the Choctaw Nation, where Gov
ernor G. Curtain has instructed the
Sheriffs to Immediately organize and
arm the militia companies to drive out
the whites. The trouble in the Chick
asaw Nation is said to grow out of
the refusal Of the Texans to pay more
Than twelve and half cents per head
for grazing cattle therein. Governor
Ovcrton demanded twenty-five cents
per head. In the Choctaw Nation
the trouble is chiefly in regard to the
law allowing white men to live in that
country; the Indians holding that near
~ all the white population are there
with ut proper authority.

The demand for laborers in all parts
OF the country continues undated.
Immigrants are snatched up eagerly
as soon as they arrive at Castle Gar
der, and carried off by employers in
need OF help. There is demand, es-
pecially, for farm hands and laborers
from the upper part of New York
State, Long Island, Connecticut, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania, where steady
employment is furnished. The Super
intendent of the Labor Bureau states
that for every good Farmland he is
able to furnish he has at least ten APP
plicatio's on file. Women are also in
demand as domestics.
