their friends. This afternoon the Pres.

Mollie, and, permission being granted,
Miss Mollie was prepared for the inter.
view by being cautioned not to say any
Thing that would excite her father.
When Mollie entered the sick chamber
from which she has been excluded for
some time, she quickly approached the
bedside, and leaning over kissed the
President. "Well Mollie," said the

and left the room. 1t was intended
that Harry Garfield should also visit
his father, but as the President was
somewhat affected by the visit of the
other two children, Itarry's proposed

HAPPILY rEEMATI RE AT LAST.
The decentralization of yesterday
morning WAS so great that at some Of
the Executive Departments orders were
given to purchase the required quaEti-
ties of black cambric and the materials
necessary to drapc the public buildings
in mourning, Immediately on the an
nouncement of the Presidents deatl,
which was expected 10 take place to-
day. The afternoon and evening trains
Of yesterday, and the morning trains of
to-day, brought large number of jour
nalists from the Leading cities. These
gentlemen came on especially to write
up the events after death, and to accom-
pany the remains to their final resting.

these drawings have already been en-

slant the intelligence reached the pub
fishers that the President had ceased to
breathe. The prospects at the White
House as viewed by many are perhaps
best illustrated by the fact that most Of
the journalists who came on especially

GUARDING THE ASSASSIN.
If there are any persons foolish
enough to believe that they can capture

ments have been made by the author-
ties to defeat all attempts of this kind,
DO matter what may be the numerical
strength Of those who may engage in
them. The defence OF the Jail where
Guiteau is confined has been assigned
to the military, and a sufficient force
is now here TO defeat any unlawful
Two companies of United
States troops are stationed at the jail,
one of which is inside, while the other
is performing duty Oh the outside, with !
pickets thrown out some distance from

be number of persons. All the ap- |
proaches to the all are under the strict |

have been armed with siXteen-shoot ng
rifles. The garrison of Washington vas
further strengthened to-day by the lrri-

Jail would result in certain di ,.ster to
