street. and thence to the residence
of MacVeagh, whose guests they
will be during the stay. As
soon as the last of the Pres
idental party had entered the car
riages, the signal was given by
bugle, and the military escort
formed in line, and the head of the
procession started on its way to the
Capitol in the following order: Plat
tOOn of mounted police, General
Ayers and mounted staff, Washing
ton Light Infantry and band, Union
Veteran corps, National Rifles,
Washington Light Guards, Capital
City Guards, United States Marine
band, Second United States Artil-
lery band, four companies of heavy
artillery and one Light Battery,
Washington and Columbia Com
mands of the Knights Templars.
Then followed the hearse, flanked
on the either side by a single
line of army and navy Off
GERS. After the hearse came
the carriage of President Ar
thur, with mounted policemen on
either side, and following it half
dozen other carriages with members
Of the cabinet and others who had
accompanied the remains from Ell
boron. A platoon of mounted police
brought up the rear. With multi ed
drums and solemn funeral dirge the
funeral procession moved slowly up
the avenue. Along this portion of
the route the crowd was APP
parently as great as upon the oc-
caSion of, the Presidents inaugural
procession. AS the procession moved
up the avenue scarcely a sound was
heard, save that from the feet of the
moving men and horses. Hats were
removed and heads bowed as by a
common impulse of deep and I'M
feigned grief.
AT THE CAPITOL.
At the east front a vast as
semblage congregated to view the
funeral cortege. At the foot of the
steps was double file Of senators and
representative headed by their res
pective officers, waiting in respect
full silence to escort the remains
into the Rotun2a. The head
of the procession moving around
the south side arrived at the east
front of the Capitol, the arms
Of military being reversed and the
bands playing the Dead March. The
order was then given to carry arms
and the troops came to front
face while to the music of
the drums the hearse and
its attendant train Iof carriages
drew slowly in front of the escort.
A hush came over the multitude and
heads were reYerently uncovered as
the coffin was carefully lifted from
the hearse. The officers Of the army
and navy drew up in parallel lines
on either side of the hearse, and the
marine band played again, with
much sentiment, Nearer, My God,
to Thee" as with solemn tread the
remains of President Garfield were
borne into the rotunda and placed
upon the catafalQue. The senators
and representatives proceeded in.
and ranging themselves on each side
Of the daiz, close behind the coffin,
were walked passed by President
Arthur and Secretary Blaine, who
we're followed by Chief Justice
Waite and Secretary Window.
THE FACE EXPOSED TO VIEW.

AT WASHINGTON.

Al W ASI1lNtT 1ONs
Washington, 21.-The train bear
ing the remains of the late President
Garfield arrived here at AL. A vast
throng Of people assembled at the
depot to do honor to the illuStriouS
dead, every avenue and approach
being deDSely packed with citizens.
a large force Of police was on duty.
The Immediate approaches to the
depot were rOped in and closed
against all save those participating
in the ceremonies or who held special
cards of admission to the depot.
Military We're drawn up against the
east side CT Sixth street, with the
right resting On Pennsylvania
avenue. Upon the opposite side OF
the street nearest the depot was
long line Of carriages, preceded by
hearSe, which was drawn up directly
at the main gate on the Sixth street
side. The hearSe used was furnished
by Undertaken Speare, OF Cnis city,
and is known as the "Centennidl
Hearse," it having been awarded tie
prize at the Centennial Exhibition.
1t was draped in black, OF rich and
heavy material, wholly unrelieved
by any other color, and was drawn
by six irOn-grey horses, whose trap
pings were also draped in sombre
black. Just before the train en-
tered the depot, the platform was
cleared by the police and the officers
of the army and navy, to the num-
Der of $50, formed in a single r;lnA
upon the left, facing the train. ~
the train slowly rolled into the
depot every head upon the platform
was uncovered, and a stiffness, us of
the grave, perYaded the vast thrOng
which for more than an hour had
been patiently waiting by the road
side. Soon Mrs. Garfield, assisted
by Secretary Blaine, descended from
the car, and taking his arm upon her
right and that of her son Harry
upon the left, walked directly to the
carriage in waiting. Her face was
completely concealed by a heavy
black veil, which hung nearly to the
ground, and whatever emotions she
may have experienced were sacred
from the sight Of those who gazed
upon her. She entered the state
carriage and was followed by her
daughter. Mollie Garfield, her son
Harry, Mrs. Rockwell and Miss
Rockwell. Arthur leaned upon the
arm of Senator Jones. Grant was
present. After they had moved on
a short distance from the entrance,
the coffin appeared, borne upon the
shoulders of soldiers of the
Second ARTILLERY, detailed from
the arsenal barracks. On the
right, in single file, and headed
by Adiutant General Drum, were
the officers Of the navy under the
lead Of Rear Admiral Nichols. AS
the coffin was BONE to the hearSe,
the marine band stationed across
the street played, Nearer My God
to Thee" while every head was how'd
and many eyes were dimmed by the
strains of the sWeetly familiar
hymn. The hush that had fallen
upon the scene and the grief marked
on a thousand faces, marked a pic
ture with standings that years cannot
effacQ. After the coffin had been
placed in the hearSe, the remainder
of the party entered their carriages
and took places in procession.

with Grape. Tie catafalque is in
the centre Of the TOtunda, which, al
though simple and plain, by wish of
the family, is very handsome. The
base is 13x615 feet, and S inches
high, covered with heavy black
cloth. On this is the upper
portion. S feet long by 215
wide at top, and feet high
1t increases gradually in size to the
base. This portion is covered with
black cloth, in vertical folds, with
large silk bows at the corners and
heavy silk -fringed edges. The silver
mOuldings at top complete the cata-
falque. The entrances TO the halls
Of the Senate and House have also
been tastefully draped in mourning.

DECORATTON NOTES.

No more shall the war cry sever
Nor the winding river run red

When they laurel the graves Of our dead
Under the sod and the dew
Waiting the Judgment day
Love and tears for the blue,
Tears and love for the gray.

THE Washington correspondent Of
the New York Times unearths al
interesting piece of history in con
nection with the Conkling-Platt re-
signations. He says that on the day
following that on which the Presi-
dent sent Mr.. Robertson's name tc
tue Senate, it was known that Mr.
Conkling and the other representa-
tivss of New York were dissatisfied
On that day two members of the
Cabinet called upon the President
and suggested that a conference
should be held between the Presi-
dent on the one hand, and the Vice.
President and the two New York
Senators on the other. The Presi.
dent accepted the suggestion, and
set apart that evening for the inter
view. The two members of the Cab
met made arrangements with the
Vice President and the two Senators
for the conference: and it was under
stood that it should take place at
1870 at the White House. After.
ward Mr.. Conkling demurred, and
refused to go, although his compan-
lens were willing to attend. Haze
this conference taken place, it is be.
lieved the whole matter would have
been adjusted.

IT looks very much rs if Ex-Sena-
tor Conkling was doomed to defeat
in his efforts for reelection. The
small show of strength on the ballots
taken, clearly indicate his weakness.
On the first ballot he had 35 votes,
and on the second "a The loss of a
vote in such a contest is almost if
not quite fatal to success. If he
succeeds, it must be by some means
not now apparent to outsiders. 1t
looks as if he had fallen in the last
ditch.

THE Baltimore Gazette believes
that "apart from treaty obligations,
literal adherence TO the Monroe doc
trine in all its fullness might involve
an impractical and Quixotic policy,
foreign to the spirit of the age and
country, any declaration that is
adopted on the subject is likely to be
tempered by considerations of this
character"

EX-SENATOR CoNKLING is cred
tied with saying at Albany on Tues:
day night that sit was not fight for
the offices, but was an attempt on
the part Of his enemies to prevent his
getting control Of the delegation to
the national convention in 1884. "
The New York San remarks that
''if this is correct, then the reasons
for Mr.. Conkling's defeat are of the
very first Importance. In no other
way could he state the care So strong
ly against himself" In other words,
it means "third term" which should
never be heard of more.
Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1881-06-04

THE New York Times says more
sudden and ruinous collapse of a
power apparently so great as was
that Of Mr.. Conkling even a month
ago, has never been seen in our pc
litical history, and that the collapse
is obviously the work of public
opinion.

THE CITY AND IT'S FINANCES.

We have carefully reviewed the
several reports laid before the Coun-
Gil at its last regular meeting in
May, and which are printed in an
other column, and find that they
cover all the items for the conduct
OF the city government, and are clear
and specific in all their details. Az
ter reading these reports, we think
every fair minded citizen must con-
cede that in the line of duty, in the
interest of economy, in general in
telligence and efficiency, the Coun-
Gil and officers Of the Corporation
have not been deficient, and have
been faithful in their work.
The reports show that the city has
been able to pay its current expenses
as they fell due, and during the past
three years have, in addition, paid
off over $4,000 OF the $2l 1858 SO
floating debt. In order to do this,
they have been compelled to exer-
else the greatest economy, ann many
citizens were disposed to complain
because they have been deprived of
the luxury of lighted streets and 9TH
er conveniences. But we think even
those will now concede the wisdom
Of the Council in determining to first
pay off pressing obligations, build up
the city's credit, and defer lighting
the streets, &C., until they were in a
condition to pay for it. We do not
err in stating that there is not a
member of the Council OR an officer
Of the Corporation who is not as de-
sirous OF seeing the streets lighted as
any other citizen, but bsing in a po-
sition to better know the financial
abilities Of the Corporation, they
wisely concluded that could not
safely be done until the finances
were gotten in better shape to admit
the expenditure. The reports show
that they are in fair way to reach
that point before great while, and
if little patience is exercised on the
part Of those who have been disposed
to blame the Council for not doing
what it was really impossible for
them to do under the circumstances.
they will find it will come out all
right in the end.
Taken as whole, it must be con-
coded by all, that the administration
of the affairs of the city during the
past three years has been excellent.
Efficiency and good management is
shown in every department. We
invite special attention to the Treas
urer's report.
