sired 1t, to ignore Gsneral Garfield's high
and admirable qualities are lost to his coun-
Try, and the United States, it may be, will not
soon be gratiied by the sight of typical
American at the White house. His short ad-
mlnlstration, however, will not be barren of
important political consequence if it has put
an end to the invasion of executive power by
tne senate, and If 1t should lead, as seems
proDaDie, TO serious reconsideration of the
existing constitutional system, so far as the
relations of the vice presidency to the presi-
dency are concerned.

yesterday at ElberOn

New YORK, Sept. 2O.-The Euemimg POSTS
Long Branch special:-The flag on the cottage
where the Presidents body lies is tied up with
Grape and large portraits of the President in
Elberon are wreathed with black. The flag over
the military camp back of here waves gloom
lily at half mast. The night passed slowly.
The guards moved about the cottage
and within the president lay on the bed where
he has suffered so bravely and died at last.
Warren Young and Stanley Brown watched
over it through the night Mrs. Garfield
went to her room in an adjoining cottage, but
paced the floor for hours together. DR.. Bliss
appeared early this morning quiet broken
down in appearance. He had not undressed
at all. "He was the greatest man as pa
tient," he said, ''whom l have
ever seen. Never murmur from
him, certainly, if it is necessary, was his
invariable answer, when asked to endure
any unpleasant or painful treatment. All, but
he is changed now in appearance. He is so
ways fine one, is gone out. His face has
lost it's natural expression. He has thin
and cadaverous look that is so painful.
BEARING UP BRAvELY.
Attorney General MacVeagh thinks the body
will be taken directly to Washington by spec
ial train tomorrow morning. He says Mrs.
Garfield is bearing up bravely, and doing well.
Private Secretary Brown watched with the
body. He says Mrs. Garfield exhibited great
calmness and fortitude.
PRESIDENT ARTHUR TO THE CABINET.
Attorney General MacVeagh has just read
this reply to dispatch sent by the cabinet to
Gen. ArtAAr last evening. 1t is addressed to
all the members of the cabinet and says: have
your message announcing the death of
President Garfield. Permit me to renew
through you, the expressions of sorrow and
sympathy which have already telegraphed
to Attorney General MacVeagh. In accord
ance with your suggestion I have taken the
oath Of Office as president of the United
states, before the Honorable John r. Brady,
justice of the supreme court of the state of
New York. 1 will advise you further in re-
gard to the other suggestions in your tele-
gram.
(Signed) G. A. ARTHUR.
The other suggestions referred to was that
President Arthur come to Long Branch this
morning.

The Death Bed.

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The Times Long
Branch special says: The following persons
were present when the president breathed his
last: Drs. Bliss and Agnew, Mrs. Garfield
and her daughter Mollie, Col. Rockwell, o. C.
Rockwell, Gen. Swain, DR.. Boynton, Private
Secretary c. Stanley Brown, Mrs. and Miss
Rockwell, Executive Secretary Warren Young,
II. L. Atchison, Jno. Kicker, 8. Lancaster
and Daniel Spriggs, attendants, the last named
colored. Mrs, Garfield sat in chair shaking
convulsively, and with tears pouring down
her cheeks, and uttering no sound. After a
while she arose and taking hold of he dead
husbands arm smooehed it up and down.
Poor little Moliie threw herself upon her
fathers shoulder, on the other side of the bed,
and sobbed as if her heart would break. Ev-
erybody else was weeping slightly. At mid
night Mrs. Garfield was asked if she would
like to have anything done, and whether she
deslrad to have the body taken to Washington.
She replied that she could not decide until she
became more composed. Attorney General
MacVeagh was the first member of the cabinet
to get the news. He ran bare-headed through
the darkness across the lawn from his cottage
to Francklyn cottage, followed by his wife.
The first dispatch of sympathy received came
from Gen. Arthur.

row. That is the result OF their cenferen ce.
Mrs. Garfield at first wanted to go direct to
Mentor but has.been.convinced that it is due to
the nation that he should be taken to the cap
itol. The cabinet members here cannot speak
of the death without the greatest emotion.
sPAsM OF THE HEART.
DR.. Agnew says that prior to the autopsy he
speaks with reservation as to the immediate
cause of death, but in his opinion it is due to
spasm of the heart induced by blood clot.
Daily globe. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1878-1884, 1881-09-21

to-day an unwonted stiffness prevails in the
city, and grief that cannot find expression
in words seems pictured upon every face. All
public buildings along the entire length of
the avenue are draped in black, and thousands
of stores, offices and private dwellings
throughout the city and Georgetown are be-
ing similarly arrayed. All the departments
are closed and public offices arc decorated.
Upon reaching the treasury department this
morning, Judge French, who is acting as Sec
retary of the treasury in the absence of Secre-
tary Window, issued the following order:
It is ordered, as a mark of reepect to the
memory of President Garfield, that the treas
ury department be closed during the day.
NO WILL.
1t is stated that President Garfield left no
will, and that during his sickness he said he
did not wish to make one; that he was willing
to trust to the courts of the country to make
an equitable division of his property among
the members of his family. The value of his
property is about $25, 900, including his house
in this city, which is mortgaged.
