Observation Of Late Presidents Funeral
Services.

Our citizens are not unmindful of the duty
devolving upon them in this day of our uni
ve-sal grief Mayor Ladd promptly issued
call for citizens meeting to resolve upon
some appropriate means of observing the fun
eral services of our late President. Tues
day evening, the time the meeting was called,
found a goodly number of citizens collected
in the city government rooms. Mayor J. f.

Esq, secretary, and the followieg gentleman
as an executive committee: Hon. James

Wentworth, Col. j. T. Richards, j. X.

After mature deliberation, it was resolved
that on Monday, Sept. Goth, the day desig-
mated for the funeral services of our beloved
President Garfield, the Mayor should
business closed to have no session of the
public schools, and to have all the church
bells tolled. In addition to this, it was
deemed highly fitting to the occasion, that
at one O'Clock, p NJ, procession composed
of the city government, the various organiza-
tions of the city, and the citizens in general.
should be formed on Water street, near the
Evans Hotel. After short line of March,
the procession will halt on the Common,
where public addresses will be made by the
clergy of this city. To perfect the arrange
ments the meeting appointed the following

The Albany Journal which strongly OPP
posed the election of Mr.. Conkling to the
Senate has the following good words tor
President Arthur: During the weeks OF
suffering that preceded the Presidents
death Gen. Arthur has borne himself with
becoming dignity and delicacv. From first
to last he has shown himself the courteous
gentleman. the thoughtful official and the
sympathizing friend BY all that he has
said and done during these sad weeks. he
has made for himself warm place in the
public heart and prepared the people to
accept his accession with hopeful conf
dence that his administration will be wise
and patriotic.
We believe that this confidence is not
misplaced. No one appreciates the great
responsibilities SO suddenly imposed upon
him more fully than Gen. Arthur himself.
He is man of the most sensitive honor,
and as firm when occasion requires as he
is always courteous and gentle. Although
he may modestly doub, his fitness for the
high Office To which he has been called.
he will not seek to evade its responsible
ties nor be diverted by any influence from
whatever line of policy he may deem it
his duty to adopt"

Dover, Sept. %. The trial Of the Chad
bourns continued through the day, With
large audience in attendance. County Atty
Peaks conducted the examination of the
government witnesses. Marshal Reed of
Bangor. testified az TO the finding of pair
Of pants with spots of blood on them owned
by Wallace. Wallace told him that he did
not know where the blood could have got on
them.
Deputy Sheriff Otis Martin produced the
pare Of pants and drawers that he found At
Chadbourne's house, the morning Of the
murder. Respondent said that they belonged
70 the mute He identified the dirk knife
found in the house before being found Mrs.
Chadbourne told him that Wallace had traded
it off. There was gritty dust on the knife.
H. H. Warren testified that Wallace Chad
bourne wife became very excited when the
officers aided them to produce the knife
Other witnesses corroborated the testimony
a. to the finding Of the dirk and clothing,
and the appearance and statements OF the
Cbadbournes at the time.
Doctors Thompson and Buck described the
wounds on the body and their extent; there
being no less than eight that were fatal. There
were two classes Of wounds, showing what
instruments were used. The large dirk
would make wounds similar to those found in
the back The smaller knife would produce
such as were found on the other parts OF the
body.
Many other witnesses testified TO seeing
blood spatters on the ear Of Benjamin Chad
burn the morning after the tragedy. Tes-
timony was offered az to threats made by
Wallace against Watson in response to ques-
tons put by Attorney General Cleaves.
Prof. Carmichael of Bowdoin College, tes-
tilted that the blood is substance of such
peculiar properties, whether liquid or dry,
that it NAV be distinguished from any other
substance whatever. II is subject to
changes, which may render its recognition
difficult. The property of the blood and
the tests for blood with the microscope, spec
troscope and chemical reagents were de-
scribed, and blood capsules from the veins
of the witness were exhibited to the jury by
means Of powerful microscope. Testimony
was then given to the recognizing of the
blood stains or capsules on the various arti-
cles of clothing belonging to Chadbourne;
also as to the impressions of the hand grips,
bloody hands and cloihing, which impress
sions on were made during the murderous
assault on Watson.
County Attorney Peaks and Attorney Gen.
Cleaves have procured the attendance of
Prof. Williams, principal of the deaf and
dun asylum at Hartford, and this afternoon
he has gone to the place of the murder in
Parkman with the deaf mute, son of one
of the prisoners. The case will probably
occupy next week.

President Arthur.

The address Of President Arthur upon
taking the oath Of Office at Washington is
praseworthy production for the occa-
SION. 1t is appropriate to the circum-
stances under which il was delivered, is
evidently inspired by noble spirit and
directed by sound judgment. The trib-
ute paid to President Gariield's character
is just and forciblc. and the promise which
he makes to pursue the policy marked out
by the late President meets with general
approval.
A knowledge Of the history of previous
Vice Presidents who have succeeded to the
Presidency by the death of the President
will doubtless have a tendency to prevent
him from falling into the mistakes they
p made. Their course is warning to 9TH
ers not to follow in their footsteps. Their
ways were sad blunders, never we hope
to be repeated.
Fears have been expressed in some
init himself to be governed by the per
sonal influence of friends too much His
address does not indicate that 1t is broad
self reliant and strong in its tone, as
though the author fully realized that his
oath requires him to be President of all
the people, and not of a faction. and that
he purposes to be true to the position to
which he has been called. disregarding
the advice and wishes of friends and per-
sonal followers when they conflict with
the best interests of the country. The
President evidently understands that his
success or failure depends upon himself.
lie must take the responsibility for all his
measures and acts. He cannot shift that
upon any one else. II personal friends
could induce him to adopt course in
furious to the party that elected him or
the people ut large, the odium would rest
upon him; they would not endure it
though their counsel directly caused it.
We have confidence that President Arthur
will be guided by wisdom in the conduct
of his office. and that confidence has been
much strengthened by his admirable ad-
dress.
