DEAD
The suiferings of President Garfield End In Death--Ths Last Moments ofa Great KIan--vics President Arthur
 Takes the oath s.f
Omce.

The struggle Is over and death Is the victor. For eighty days the President battled nobly to survive the effects of the assassns bullet but has at last succumed Neither the prayers of the nation nor the skill of his faithful attendants were of avail To the last day he was cheerful and confident At his bedside holding his poor emaciated hand in her own and watching with anguish unutterable the fast vanishing sands of life, sat the faithful, devoted wife during the closing hours of the Presidents career Around
 him were other weeping friends and physicians, lamenting their powerlessness in the presence of , the dark angel of death. Toward the last the mind of the sufferer wandered. He was once
 more back in Mentor, amid those scenes where
 the happiest hours of his life were spent. He sat in the dear old homstead again with loved ones around him. His aged mother so proud of her big boy; the faithful wife md beloved children, It was bissfil dream that robbed death Of it's terrors and rendered the dying man for mo ment unconscious of the cruel rending of his once vigorous frame that was constantly going on. | The moan of the restless ocean mingled with the
 sobs of the loved ones as the lamp of life hckered and went out forever Nearly every one around
 the President cluug to hope to the last and re- fused to credit the approach of death until the
 shadow deepened and the destroyer's presence | could be no longer unfelt.

The Autopsy.

ELBERoN, N. J., Sept 2O.-The following official bulletin was prepared at eleven tonight by the surgeons who have been in attendance upon the late President:
 By previous arrangement the post-mortem ex- animation of the body of President Garfield was made this afternoon in the presence and with the assistance of Drs Hamilton, Agnew, Bliss Barnes, Woodward, Reyburn, Andrew H Smith of Fiber on and Acting Asst. Surgeon D S. Lamb of the Army Medical Museum at Washington. The operation was performed by Dr. Lamb. It was found that the ball, after ifacturing the right eleventh rib, had passed through the spinal col umn in front ot the spinal canal, fraeturing the body of the first lumbar vertebra, driving small fragments of bones into adjacent soft parts and lodging just below the pancreas about two inches and half to the left of the spine and behind the peritoneum, where it had become completely encysted The immediate cause of death was secondary hemorrhage from one of the mesenteric arteries adjoining the track of the ball, the blood rupturing the peritoneum and nearly pint es- caping into the abdominal cavity. This hemor- rhage is believed to have been the cause Of severe pain in the lower part of the chest complained of just before death. An abscess cavity six inches by four in dimensions found in the vicinity of the gall bladder, between the liver and trans verse colon which were strongly interadherent. It did not involve the substance of the liver, and no communication was found between it and the wound. A long suppurating channel extended from the external wound between the loin mus cles and the right kidney almost to the right of the groin. Tn channel now known tc be due to the burrowing of pus from the wound was sup posed during life to have been the track of the ball On examination of the organs of the chest evidences of severe bronchitis were found on both sides with broncho pneumonia Of the lower DOT tions of the right lung They contained no ab- scess and the heart no clots The liver was en- larged and fatty, but free from abscesses nor were any found in one other organ except the left kidney which contained near It's surface a small abscess about one-third of an inch in diam eter.
 In reviewing the history of the case in connec ton with the autopsy it is quite evident tha different suppurating surfaces and especially the fractured spongy tissue of the vertebre, furnish sufficient explanation of the septic condition which existed.

THE insurance companies in which Gen. Gar fields life was insured have already paid to Mrs. Garfield 235 900.
 AT another time he was checking from an ac- emulation of phlegm and insisted that some one had him by the throat; nor would he be satisfied until Crump had beaten off the assaant.
 Mas. GARFIELD, with her daughter Mollie and son Harry visited the White House to arrange for theremoval ofher personal effects. She exhibited signs Of deep emotion upon entering the familiar rooms, and her eyes were suifused with tears, which she made brave efforts to restrain
 BESIDES teegrams sent through Lowell to the European legations, Secretary Blaine has com munieated the official announcement of the death of President Garfield and the accession of President Arthur to the United States legations in China, Japan, Mexico and in all the South Amer can states accessible by telegraph.
 IT isstated 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 S25,000 including his house in this city, which Is mortgaged
 IT IS improbable that the President did not real lze the extreme danger of hIs situation. It will be reeollected that 1t was announced that the President had signed his name one day simply to test his nerves. IL was before he wrote the letter 10 his mother. The signature was said to have been good but the fact was concealed that the sick man wrote something else, and that some thing of very significant character. He took the pad from the doctor and. thinking awhile, wrote tnese Worus. SrdHgntdtUS pro repttohcu tStrangled for the repubhc)
 ITwill be recollected that it was denied that the President had any delusions, but MT. Crump who was his faithful attendant tells different story. He says that the mental wanderings of the Presi- dent were confined to the moments just after waking from sleep He said the illusions came on at all times. As an illustration of this he said that one day after the President had lain silent a long time he said "Crump, what are those men doing there?' There are no men here, Mir. Presi dent" responded Crump. Certainly there are" insisted the President, "and you must tell them Crump, thatI cannot see them to-day. Tell them to go away" Mir. Crump could not convince him that he was laboring under delusion, and there fore he rose and said, "Gentlemen, the President cannot see you today; you must go away now ' The President thanked them and then aiixiously ary intruders.

 IN STATE.
 WASHINGTON. Sept 22. The scene at the capita to-day and tonight has been impressive alInos beyond parallel in the annals of the city Throughout last night thousands of persons passed through the rotunda to view the remains Of tnt dead president Even from midnight till morn ing there was scarcely a moment when some ons was not passing by the bier. About six o'clock 8 steady stream of people began, and from thai time onward throughout the day and evening there hasn't been an instant of interruption. Il may seem incredible, but 1t is entirely probable that befween six o'clock this morning and mid night at least 10000 persons have passed through the rotuuda During three hours this afternoon 2 count was made and there was an average of l1 persons per minute in the procession entering the rotunda Thousands of people came from Baiti more to-day and from all parts of Maryland anc Virginia.
 The ventilation of the rotunda has not been at tended to and towards evening the air become tn roughly vitiated, several persons fainted dur ing the evening. and five of the members of tn. army ot the Cumberland on guard became III anc were obi red to go home. At o'clock this even ing the id of the casket was closed and furthe view of tne body was denied to the public. Thi was m ,de necessary by ihe rapid progress of dis eoloraiion of the forehead and face. Dr. Boyntof was delegated by Mrs. Garfield to reque>t th closing of the easket as she was 10th to have th people left with so painful an impression Of th' | face they had loved and honored. Two Irains will take the funeral cortaRe L l Clev and The first wll carry the corpse, thu family of the deceased the cabinet and thei l fam lies and escort committees and pal bearers | Another train win follow this carrying mem bers and officers of congress, ex-Presidell Gran and Hayes, ex-speaker Banks and ex-cabinet min | isters.

The Press,

Ia France says the widow may be sure her name will be inscribed in history beside her hus- bands
 THE Nd iOadl Zeitlfng says: "The whole civilized world had hoped most sincerely for the recovery of President Garfield. An innocent victim has been claimed by the Moloch of corruption; may t warn the American people of the necessity of moral regeneration"
 THE North Ge1mdR Gazette says: "A sinister pail hangs over the heads of the states President Garfield has been the victim of dark powers which desire the maintenance of rotton state of affairs. Germany, remembering when Emperor William was similarly stricken, can with fuller heart offer sincere sympathy to friendly transat- lantic people in their hour of trial"
 THE S. Jdmes Gazette this evening says if Cult eaus abject terror leaves him conscious enough even he may feel remorse. The same journal after sympathetic reference to the simple, pa tent courage with which the President faced death, says: The most obvious lesson suggested by President Garfelds death is the proprety of amending the contribution so as 10 provide for new election when the President dies during his term of office. The tragic circumstances of his death may have the effect to bring over Gen. Ar thur 10 the views of his predecessor but if he had died in more commonplace way, Gen. Arthur would have been able to carry out policy to which President Garfield was deliberately op- posed.
 TIE London Tines says the death of President Garfield Is regarded hardly less thana national calamity. In all ranks from the qeeen to the peasant there Is the most heartfelt sympathy for the hereaved widow and injured nation. The career of President Garfield is of the kind which appeals to the best feelings and most cherished traditions Of our people. His early poverty, his maR ful independence, his hard-won attainments his integrity Of character, had all caused his career to be watched as that Of man of exeep- tonal powers and brilliant promise, and he was regarded as standing out very distinctly from among the majority of politicians Even among Russian Nihilsts Guiteaus crime will excite nothing but loathing and execration.

 The good housewife, when she is giving her house it's spring renovating, should bear in mind that the dear inmates of her house are more precious than many houses and that their systems need cleansing by purifying the blood, regulating the stomach and bowels to prevent and cure the diseases arising from spring malaria and miasma and she must know that there is nothing that will do it so perfectly and surely as Hop Bitters, the purest and best of medi- cines.-C0ncord N 1T, Patriot.

Important Considerations.

Let no Democrat cut his ticket See to
it that your candidates for Sheriff, Com
missioner, Legislature, Treasurer and Sur
veyor poll every Democratic vote. Be
careful to vote for no Republican for
House Of Delegates. Remember the neat
Legislature will be called upon to rear
range the Congressional districts of our
State, and should the Republicans be in
control in that body, by gerrymandering
they might deprive US Of several Demo
cratic members of the national House of
Representatives. A State Treasurer is
also to be elected by the same Legislature,
who will be member of the Board Of
Public Works, and who will do much TO-
ward shaping the policy of our State, and
il Is all important that he should be chosen
from the Democratic party. There is too
much at stake for any Democrat to vote
for Republican on the grounds of per
soual friendship, for although it be BY yoor
vote that he is elected he will part COM
pany with you as soon as he is chosen; and
after rejoicing over your discontinue and
defeat he viii proceed to do your party all
the harm in his power. No Democrat
should feel himself called upon to confer
a personal favor tlat viii be certain to
rebound to his own injury, and if you
have faith IN the principles of your party
you will not vote for man who IS pledged
10 antagonize those principles under any
and all circumstances. Do not permit
personal disappointment 70 induce you 70
cut your ticket. Stand by the party aud
the party win stand by you. Put forth
your best efforts for the success Of its
nominees, and your service viii be ae-
knowlcdged and in due time rewarded.
There is nc surer way to achieve success
than to deserve it.

The SeatiRcl Is just now very loud 10
ealling for Investigations, and We would
suggest to that journal that an inves,iga-
ton under President Hayes Civil Service
Order No. ! - which has never been re-
voked, might disclose that some Federal
O6cials Of this esun,y are liable to reno
val for its violation. The investigation
might prove that Federal Official pre-
pared and carried to the last Republican
convention a set Of resolutions which we're
passed. It might also prove that Fed
eral Official, since that order was passed,
has acted as Treasurer to a Republican
organization, in violation of such order.

This has been done, and the result Is a
saving of nearly Three THOUSAND Dollars
IN the expenses Of that institution in one
year, and if the same management is con 7
tinued other benefits win accrue to the

this and reduced the county debt nearly
