one worthy OF the occasion, and hitting to
pay the last honors to the dead President.
Euclid avenue, one of the finest thorough
fares in the world, was draped from end to
end with badges Of sorrow. The process
sion was a monster one, and everything
moved like clockwork. 1t is estimated
whom from 100, 900 to $50, 900 were stran-
gers. Some Of the adjacent towns were
deserted. At Mrs Garfield's suggestion
the casket containing the late President
has been inclosed in an iron cage, and a
cement wall will be built around this OF
sufficient strength to resist any attempt to
remove the body, and large enough to form
the foundation for q monument.
The Mayor of this city has detailed a
police force to be on duty until the final
interment.
NEW York, Sept. 27.-Dispatches show
that business throughout the country was
wholly suspended yesterday. Every city,
town or village testified to the universal
sorrow by funeral professions, firing OF
cannon, tolling Of bells, etc. In the larger
cities the demonstrations were in many
cases on d grand scale. In all the churches
Of whatever denomination the dead Presi-
dent was remembered in a sermon and
prayer. In England much regard was
paid to the day, as was also the case,
though in a less degree, in France, Germany
and other European countries.
Democrats to Organize the Senate.
New YORK, Sept. pa Worlds Wash
ington special says: 1t has been learned
at the Capital that Chief Clerk Shaber will
be the proper person to call the Senate to

him to try for the Secretaryship, but he
has declined. Bayard will doubtless be
chosen President pro TEN. of the Senate il
he will accept. The officers elected will
probably remain in Office through the
Forty-seventh Congress. All the Demo-
cratic Senators have been specially sum-
moned to the special session. 1t appears
to be conceded here that the Democrats
will exercise their power to organize the
Senate, including the Secretary, and that
no attempt will be made by the Republic
cans seriously to dispute it, because it will
avoid an occasion Of any dispute in regard
to the Republican nominations for Secre-
tary and Sergeant-at-Arms, Gorham and
Riddelberger, who, it is said, could not re-
ceive the full Republican vote in any event.
There is a very prevalent rumor that Cor
ham is to be appointed Public Printer in
place of Defrees.
Gnfteeu GIoats Over His Success.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Guiteau boasts
that he will have eminent counsel in his
usual big talk, but he can only think OF
his brother-in-law Scoville, Of Chicago,
who may aid him. 1t will be difficult for
a Court to find counsel who would defend
him or utter a word that would tend to
save his neck. Guiteau still believes that
if he could escape mob violence and get a
fair trial he would be acquitted. He is
sure the American people will now trans
fer their sympathies from that lump OF
clay-Garield-to himself. He expresses
no remorse, but gloafs over his success,
though he is in a constant state of fear
since Garfield died, and If hears any un-
usual noise or steps Of more than one per-
son approaching his cell, he endeavors to
hide under his bed. He is q pusillanimous
coward. He says he cannot be tried for
murder, because no malice could be shown;
that Garield's death was a political neces-
sity.
when the Postmaster.GeneraI's
Term VIII Expire.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 27.-The Republican
editorially points out that article 2 Of Sec
sion 1888 Of the revised statutes provides
that the Postmaster General shall hold his
office only for the term Of the President by
whom he is appointed, and for thirty days
thereafter, unless sooner removed. The
Republican holds that if Mr.. James is to
be continued in the Cabinet he must be ap-
pointed on the 10Th. Only the Star Route
ter -General James term Of Office expires on
the 10th Of next month. The best legal
minds say his term will not expire until a |
month after the 4th of March, 1885, and it |
is not generally believed that James will |
retire before the Star Route prosecutions |
end, nor that Arthur would be willing that |
he should.
Wanted the Star Route Cases
Pushed.
New YoRK, Sept. GA Suns Washing
special says About two weeks before
Garfield was shot he told the Postmaster
and Attorney Generals that he wanted the
Route cases pushed to prosecution at
the earliest possible moment. 1t is now |
understood that President Arthur proposes
to follow his predecessor in this respect.
1t is his purpose to have these investiga-
conducted without delay, and the
prosecution begun as soon as the prepara-
ton of the case will allow.
