Bayard Interviewed.

The Morning News contains the fol
lowing:
Senator Bsyard was interviewed las
evening with regard to the politlca
situation resultant upon the sad dealt
of the President anu the elevation 0
General Arthur to the presidency. Tn
Senator said it was a time peculiarly
uniting for any comments upon thu
course that will be, in all probability
pursued by President Arthur. Aftel
giving expression to his grief,i he said
the country was going under an al.
ministration that it had in a great
measure prepared itself for. There
would be no crisis, nor any evil result
ing from it. Referring to the question
az to the immediate resignation Of the
Cabinet, he said, ofcourse, he took it for
granted that every member would at
once resign. Such a course would be
proper and according to custom. He
said the people were net in a mood to
take in good spirit any change in the
present work against Brady and the
Star Route thieves, and that Arthur
was a dexterous politica. manager. he
would of course, see this, and put off,
for the present at least, any changes in
the Cabinet. ''The Senate was Demo-
cratic, you know, when it adjourned, -
said the senator, "and it will be Demo-
cratic when it assemblies. -
He said the Democrats would support
(this significantly Arthurs admins
tration as thoroughly as they did that
of Hayes during his latter two years in
office. "Why was no president pro
tempore of the Senate chosen before
! the adjournment" was asked. After
hestaling, the senator said slowly; 81
have understood that Vice President
Arthur refused to vacate the chair be-
cause Of my name having bean nell
toned to him AS the man who would be
! chosen. AS to whether the Democrats
would, in case Blaine should resign,
confirm Conkling were he nominated
by Arthur, hs said he would rather not
answer that question. When pressed
he refused to say anything further. In
conclusion ne said be, and every Demo-
crat in the land, gave Arthur their best
wishes for his success, "and, said he,
sit is my policy above all things not to
embarass the new administration, and
| | will assist it in everything | believe
to be just and right " SIN addition
the Democrats will assist the admiuis
tration in all good Government. But
if he takes steps to create Cabinet Otfi-
GERS who will cease their prose cutions
of the Star Route thieves, then not only
the people, but the Democrats in Con-
gress will antagonize the administra-
ton. But this is not the proper time to
talk about these things. Some other
time will do far better. The future
looks bad enough, | mnst confess-but
good night; ! can say no more while the
shadow Of death is upon our land, and
before have recovered from my great
grief and sorrow at the result of the as
sassiu's work"

WHY THE PRESIDENT DIED.
An OmciaI Autopsy aud tho Natur>
..of tho wound fulIy Explained.

ELBERoS, Sept. D.-The following
official bulletin was prepared by the
surgeons who have been in attendanc .
upon the late President: BY rre ytoua
arrangement post mortem sxatLina-
tion of the body Of President Garfield
in the presence and with the assistance
OF Drs. Hamilton, Agnew, Bliss,
Barnes, Woodward, Reyburn, A. H..
Smith, Of Elberon and Acting Assist
ant Surgeon d. S. Lamb, of the Army
Medical Museum, Washington. The
operation was performed by Dr. Lamb.
1t was found that the bali after fractur-
ing the right eleventh rib passed
through the spinal column In trout of
the spinal canal, fracturing the body of
the first lumbar vertehra, driving a
number Of small fragments Of bone in
to the adjacent soft parts and lodg-
ing between the pancreas, about two
inches and q half to the left otthe spine
and behind the peritoneum, where it
had been completely encysted. The
immediate cause of death was second
AIRY hemorrhage from one Of the mes.
enteric arteries, adjoining the track of
the ball, the blood rupturing the peri
tonenm, and nearly pint escaping into
the abdominal cavity. The hemorr.
hage is believed to have been the cause
of the severe pain in the lower part OF
the chest, complained of JUS before his
death.
An abscess cavity, six inches by four
in dimensions, was found in the viciIi-
ty of the gall bladder, between the liver
and transverse colon, which wsye
strongly adherent. 1t did not invc We
the substance of the liver. and 10 COM
munication was found between it and
the wound. A long suppurating
channel extended from the external
wound, between the ltin muscles and
the right kidney, almost TO the right
groin. This channel, now known TO be
due to the burrowing Of pas from the
wound, was supposed, during life, to
have been the track of the ball. On an
examination of organs of chest evi.
deuces Of severe bronchitis were found
on both sides with broncho pneumonia
of lower portions Of right lung, and,
though to a much less extent, OF the
left, the lungs contained no assesses,
and the heart no clots, the liver was ell
largel and fatty, but free from any alb
scesses, nor were any found in any
other organ except the left kidney
which contained near its surface a
small abscess about third of an inch
in diameter. In reviewing the history
of the case in connection with the All
ltopsy, it is quite evident that the sup.
purating surfaces, and especially the
fractured spongy tissue of the vertebra.

THE vICE-PREsIDENr.

One thing has been made apparent to
every one who has had opportunity to
know, in regard to vice-President Ar
thur, and this is his profound grief and
his tender sympathy as manifested dur
ing the trying ordeal through which the
nation has passed. He has manifested
much emotion and his words to all have
been prudent and WISE Whatever may
be the result, he will have lifted himself
much in the esteem of his countrymen.
1t may be that he has been trained in a
bad political school and has made many
mistakes in his life, but it cannot be
said of him that he has an unkind heart,
or is disesteemed by those who know
him best. Had he kept out Of the
Conkling middle, he would have stood
higher in the appreciation of the people
but his conduct of late will rebound
much to his credit. He went to Wash
ington as soon as possible after hearing
of the sad event, and still remains there.

BREADTH OF THE SYMPATHY

When the bullet of the assassin had
laid William the Silent in his grave,
''amid the tears of a whole nation"
Motley says that "never was more ex-
tensive, unaffected and legitimate sorrow
felt at the death of any human being"
A similar sorrow, pervading all civilized
lands and peoples, has been created by
the cruel and dastardly attempt on the
life of President Garfield. 1t is not
confined to any party or sect or land. A
profound sorrow and indignation seems
to have taken possession of all hearts.
From distant lands and rulers come the
messages of sympathy kings and queens.
statesmen and scholars, priests and war
riors, all send words of sympathy and
hope. The attempt on the life of the
President, cowardly and deplorable act
that it is, has its bright side-if such a
terrible crime can have any bright side
in being that touch of nature which
"makes the whole world kim"
But it is in our own land and among
our own people that We find the most
touching and impressive evidence of the
breadth and depth of the public sorrow.
This IS seen in the tender messages that
| fy on the wires to the White House from
political opponents as we'll as from per-
sonal friends in all parts of the country
But more touching is it seen on every
street and in almost every household il
the land. Men and woman who have
never seen the President, but who only
know him as a great, honest, true man
the head of the nation. and the embodi
ment of all that is manly and grand il
human character, feel the assassin's blow
as sudden and crushing domestic attic
ton. In their deep sympathy and anx
iety, moved as never before, they seen
to forecast. as by intuition, an issue o
recovery. not one of death. Let US con
tinue fervently to hope and pray tina
such will be the issue.-1elegraDh.

THE ASSASSINATION OF
LINCOLN.

On Friday evening April IA, 1865,
John Wilkes Booth entered private
box at Ford's theatre, Washington,
where President Lincoln and wife and
a few personal friends sat witnessing
the play, and without a word. drew
pistol and shot the president through
the head, and then jumping down upon
the stage, stalked out of the building,
brandishing dagger in one hand and
shouting, ".Ssc semper tyrannss' thus
always with tyrants. The President
was removed to private house oppo-
site the theatre, where he lived uncon-
scious until the next morning at half
past seven, when he expired. At the
same hour of this assassination, Lewis
Payne pushed himself into Secretary
Stewards sick room, on pretense of
carrying message from his physician,
and stabbed this statesman five times
as he lay in his bed, and would un-
doubtedly have killed him but for the
heroic conduct of his nurse, Robinson.
Mr.. Seward, though dreadfully wound
ed. recovered.
After shooting the President, Booth
mounted feet horse which was in
waiting at the back door of the theatre,
and rode off into Maryland. He was
hunted down and finally found nearly
two weeks later, in barn in which he
had taken refuge. He had a rife with
him, and declared he would not be
taken alive. The barn was fired, but
Booth did not come forth. Finally one
of the soldiers named Boston Corbett
though he saw Booth about to fire on
his pursuers, when he shot him dead.
1t was soon discovered there was a
deep laid plot to assassinate not only
the President and Secretary Seward,
but also Vice-President johnson and
Gen. Grant. The conspirators were
found, and after trial by court-martial
of which Gen. Hancock was the head
David Harold. Lewis Payne, Geo. At
zerott and Mrs. Mary Surratt were
hung July Z; and DR.. Mudd, Samue
Arnold and Michael O'Laughlin wer,
sentenced to imprisonment for life
and Spangler, who held Booths horse
to six years.
This was the justice meted out t.
assassins by Andy Johnson and a court
martial.
