II Mrs. Garfield is broken down ano
#fears are entertained that having
Abeen keyed to the highest pitch o.

HThe brave woman has had no rest OF

IAN aspen leaf.

d After the arrival of President Ar
Athur there was a Cabinet meeting
held at the Attorney Generals cot

accompany the remains to Washing

( all the members of the Cabinet will
for the present be retained.
4 The autopsy shows conclusively
What the ball was not where the sur
Ngeons said it was, and that what has
3been regarded and published day by
sday for weeks as the track of the
wound was something else. The
surgeons have been treating an open
sing into the body for the depth OF
twelve inches made by confined pus
sburrowing its way as the track of the
swound, when the latter went in an
sentirely different direction. The sur
3geons admit in the bulletin that an
5abscess six by four inches had formed
in the vicinity of the gall bladder,
between the liver and the transverse
colon. The bulletin says also that
! the ball had passed through and frac-
stured the spinal column, fact here
stofore strenuously denied by the
surgeons. The bulletin fails to &c
! VERY much into details, and after il
was read DR.. Bliss said that there
was small pus cavity on one of the
kidneys not mentioned in the bulIe-
tin. The surgeons say that the i'm
mediate cause of death was secondary
shemorrhage from one of the arteries
adjoining the track of the ball, the
blood infiaming the peritonium and
NEARLY pint escaping in the abdom-
4 final cavity.
PRESS COMMENTS.
The Philadelphia Times says: "It
lis not the time nor would it be fit
,ting here to attempt an analysis of
sthe career of the dead President.
Ills life-Work has yet to be summed
suD. His taking off will mark an
sepoch in the history of the republic.
3He was not cut down in the hot
breath of civil war. His life was not
passed in hostilities that breed inn
Splacable enemies, nor were his ways
sthose that uprear bloodthirsty foes.
3Cut off before his due time, in the
very bloom of manhood, he will be
ia pathetic reminder of the vanity of
thurman greatness so long as the cruel
sstory stands in the book oftime. The
snation has lost greater and more be-
Sloved sons, warriors and statesmen
sbut it is doubtful if, with the eXcep-
3tion of Lincoln, any figure passed
afrom our national life around whose
memory will cling more tender tradi-
stions of unmerited suffering and cruel
death"
The Philadelphia Press says: "The
Sgreat President falls, but the cause
aand the work go on. The people
asorrow, but they do not tremble.
aTheir grief is for the loss of one they
Flowed; their doubt touches the full
maintenance of his high standards,
zbut they have no fear for the security
land honor'of the country"
The Philadelphia Ledger says
LII is hard parting, bitter loss tc
athis nation-far deeper than grief fol-
&the official, for the chieftain.. 1t is a
Spersonal sorrow in every heart. Was
lit needed-this sacrifice-to point out
Kyet some present danger to the re-
4public? The providence of Almighty
Flaw are past searching out, but there
Nyet remains of the murdered Presi.
%dent his unfinished work, The ma.
dtion will demand that this is carried
.lout."
u The Baltimore SIN says: AL.
although his administration was in its
ainfancy, President Garfield had al.
aready won the confidence of the coun.
atry in the integrity of his purposes
#the moderation, soundness and con
aservatism of his policy. The Amer
Nican people have an instructive lik.

president Garfield not only possessed
