THERE was scarcely anything left to be
said when Senator SKcK had explained
the situation in the Senate in the follow
ing terse summary:
"Mr. Beck said the Republicans had
refused to so into executive session; had
refused to pay respect to their President,
for what? In order to get the vote OF
Mr.. Malone; in order that all the prece.
dents should be oyerthrown, and in or.
der that the commonwealth OF Virginia
should be turned over to Riddleberyer.
And we: he continued, are called reyo.
lutionists because We say you shall not
DO that thing, and We tell you now YOU
shall not do 1t, whether you have made
a bargain OF not. You may call us rev.
olutionists, but you shall not overthrow
all the traditions OF the country. You
shall not carry out any such arrange
ment as that, whether made honestly or
dishonesty. You may DO so in the
next session, but We will in every parlia.
mentary way prevent the country from
having such legislation imposed upon
Virginia, and such colleague to Ma
hone sent to this Senate as YOU desire
should be brought here" slluding 10

the funeral line on Euclid avenue was util-
lied. Stands were erected in all the vacant
lots and were let out at high prices. Private
lawns were occupied by raised platforms, and
the roof of every portico had as many chairs
as could be crowded upon it.
At3.3OP. NJ, the procession entered the
cemetery gateway, which was arched over
with black, with appropriate inscriptions.
On the keystone were the words "Come to
Rest !" On one side were the words: "Lay
him to rest whom we have learned 10 love, -
on the other, LAY him 10 rest whom we have
learned to trust"
The mourners' carriages and those contain
ing the guard of honor comprised all of the
procession that entered the grounds. The
cavalry halted at the vault and drew up in
line facing it with sabres presented. The Car
drew up with the mourners' carriage and
those of the Cabinet behind. The military
escort lifted the coffin from the car and car.
red it into the vault, the local committee Of
reception, Secretary Blaine, Marshal Henry
and one or two personal friends standing on

dents family, except two of the boys, left the
carriages during the exercises, which occupied
less than half an hour.

A MEMORIAL NUMBER.

If this issue Of the ENQUIRER appears to
be memorial number, on account of the
space devoted to the death of the President,
we may say that all other matters are absorbed
by this event. There is really no other news.
AS is remarked by New York daily, refer
ring to this fact, all the interests of the coun-
try, and even the crimes and accidents which
every day used to bring in excess, seem to
have been given pause by the death OF the
President. The floods of exchanges which
pour into the newspaper offices, have little
else in them than descriptions of the peoples
sorrow and sense of loss, and all other things
seem to be overwhelmed i'll the shadow of deep
ahiction. Nothing like this deep popular
grief has ever been seen in this country, and
probably not Oh the globe.

ARTIIUR's NEW YORK ORGAN.
LAY GOuLD's VIEWS.

Arthur's organ, the New York Commercial
advertiser, has this significant paragraph ::
"The Federal officers, from the collector Of
the port down to the night watchman, may
rest their souls in peace. There will be no
removals for political reasons, and no Hayes
civil service humbugging policy will be car
ried on in the custom house. Men who are
capable. honest and efficient officers will not
be disturbed in their places, even if they

will be more sweeping than those which fol-
lowed Garfield's induction into office They
will not be sudden, but they will be certain.
The Cabinet is to be entirely remodeled. Sec
retary of War Lincoln will, it is believed, re-
main, but the rest will voluntarily resign or be
kicked out. There are certain indications
which show that the extraordinary session OF
the Senate is probably not called for the pur-
pose of organization, but for the contingency
of important nominations, including new
Cabinet The material of which this Cabinet
is to be composed is the subject of speculation.
1t is as yet undecided by Arthur himself: 1t
is believed that the treasury will 60 to New
York man and the reasons given are the best.
II is the most important to New York COM
mercial interests and to New York politics.
1t is the ground on which the StalWartS split
away from Garfield. These three reasons
should be enough to settle that question. The
interior is likely to 60 to a Western man OF
Mr.. Arthur's political feeling. The navy de-
partment, to carry out the idea OF the late
President, will 60 to the South and the port
folio of State to New England. While the
supposed intention of the President with re-
gard to the selection of fresh advisers at the
very beginning of his term is the subject OF
some unfavorable criticism, it is well enough
to observe that this criticism comes from the
friends of the late Administration who would
probably animadvert upon it with even more
bitterness three months from now.
There is another important question, and
one which antedates the formation of Cabi-
net, and this is the election of Il president pro-
tempOre in the Senate. With the history OF
the long and disgracefnl wrangle of last win
ter fresh in the public mind it is natural to
suppose that this will not be accomplished
,vithnut ~ ctrurrlp THE Democrats will have
a bare majority, and the Presidential line of
succession will fall upon Democrat. 1t is
not believed, however, that the Republicans
will give up without fight Then Arthur, us
President, will know how it is himself. The
Democratic candidate will probably be Sena-
tor Bayard. The Republicans will probably
nominate Mr.. Anthony. If the Republicans
adopt the tactics which characterized the strng-
gle of last winter, the session of the Senate

The Methodist Social Union


Mr.. EDIToR,-The Methodist churches and
societies in Portland and vicinity, some two
years since organized what is known as the
Methodist Social Union, which meets once a
month with the several churches belonging to
the same, during the winter season, for social
intercourse and literary entertainment. This
Union embraces some ten or dozen churches
The meetings have generally been largely at
tended and have been very pleasant occasions
They heve been celebrated for two things, to
wit: First, their bountiful, magnificent sup
pers, furnished by the ladies' and second, by
their Door literary entertainments. This fact
has led some outsiders wickedy to remark,
that Portland Methodists have mere stomachs
than brains" But let me assure our friends
that although there may have been some occa
sion for such criticisms, they do injustice to
tIis branch of the great Christian church.
The churches represented by this Union,
both in clergy and laity, contain ample intel
lectual ability to make its literary department
a grand success. The fault has been with
those who have been entrusted with its man
agement. Instead of short, spicy we'll pre-
pared essays and spirited discussions, the
"Unons," with a few exceptions, have been
treated to inefficient, prosy, and ill-prepared
suited to the nursery or Sabbath school drama
than the hearty stomachs of grown up men
and women.
Let the committee who have in charge the
literary department of the Union take a "new
departure" get out of the old ruts, bring to
their aid the best talent of the Union, and l
venture the prediction that all concerned will
be astonished at the increased interest and new
life and vigor it will infuse into this excellent
Christian association. CHESTNUT STREET.
