The EXPENDITURES INCURRED IN
THE PRESIDENTS ILLNESS AND BURIAL.
According to an estimate made by the
Indianapolis ''Sentinel' the illness and
burial of the late President involved an
expenditure of about $347 900. OF that
sum $247 600 were spent at Cleveland and
800. 900 during the patients struggle for
life. Mr.. Gartield's private secretary, Mr..
Brown, kept the run Of things until the
fatal termination. He says that the doc
tors bills probably prove to be $4,000, and
that the average daily expenses approx
mated 81 $50. The sick bed expenses, as
Mr.. Brown thinks, will be borne by Con-
gress, and there seems to be a settled con-
clusion that the $247 1000 incurred at Cleve-
land are to come out of the State treasu-
ry and the Cleveland people. The decora-
tons in Cleveland cost 100000, the ac-
Communications $100O00 the arches $4,000,
the catafalque $4,000, the music $1,000,
and so on. The transportation of the re-
mains from Elberon to Ohio was the work
Of the Pennsylvania Company, which, it
is understood, will make no charge. Ac-
companying the estimate of the sick bed
and funeral expenses is a statement that
Mrs. Garfield is likely to receive pension
of at least So 900 year, which will make
her income about $15 ,000.

ANOTHER PROPHECY FOR NOVEMBER.
The New York "Sun'' of Monday. con-
tains another prophecy for November, as
follows:
"After years of patient study and ardu-
GUS toll. think I have succeeded in COM
piling a SET of rules by which can accu-
rately forecast the weather for practical
ly unlimited time. This is the result OF
nY observations for the month Of Novem-
Der: From the 1st to the 4th there will be
steady fall in temperature, followed by
light rains and occasional hail. On the
10th we shall be visited by severe rain
storm, which will prove savior for the
drought-stricken country. On the 10Th
we may look for an extremely cold wave
from the northwest, followed by much at
mospheric disturbance. The Oath will be
marked by terrific storm, followed by
occasional rains and sultry weather TO the
end of the month. Taken as a whole, it
will be month of many extraordinary
atmospheric phenomena, which will put
such guessers as Vennor and Devoe to their
mettle. The eastern coast will he the CEN
tire Of some terrific storms, dangerous
floods being quite prevalent. In contrast
to this, the weather in the Central and
Southwestern States and Territories Will
be comparatively pleasant.

husband, Capt. John FL. Woodward's life policy, No
g., Psi for IS, 900, issued April 10Th, 1877.
My husband gave his age as AZ, when he should
have given it 43; still the company settled by de-
Quoting the difference between 40 and 43 years
BY the terms of your company under the "Maine
non-forfe iture law after he had paid three full
years; his policy kept in force three gears and
fifty one days longer. He ceased to pay after April
20th $780, and died the 2lst day of August, 1851
there being two full annual payments behind, when
by the terms of all other companies, under like cir
cumstances, his policy would have been forfeited
and should not .have received anything-yet, by
your contract the whole amount has been paid less
the sum of two premiums which should have been
paid with interest.
Amount paid after deducting for discrepancy Of
age, and the back premiums being 81 .446,34.

The Republican Press on the Situation.

The Virginia "Post" whose editor is a
colored Republican, says:
We agree with the Richmond ''Debt
Payer the leading Republican journal OF
the South, in saying that if the rank and
file of our party were Uhate instead of co.,
ored, a Republican, North would not ad-
wise that the party should disband its Or
ganizaticn and accept the leadership of
Mister Malone. The powers that are
backing Mister Malone will sooner or la
ter find out that all Negroes are not fools, )
or barren of the honor of Virginia.
The best way for negroes to show that
they are fit to vote and govern themselves,
is to reject the yoke of William Malone.
The 'Debt-Payer, the organ of the true
Republican party who has no axe to grind,
put it thus:
"We cannot, for the life of us, admire
the Readjuster party of Virginia. 1t has,
from it's very inception, been an evil-mlnd-
ed party, callous to humanity. and dead to
shame. By the great law of affinity. 1t
has rallied around it all that is avaricious,
INSCRIPTIONS and venal in the body polit-
! ic. With it's bad guide it has warped the
consciences of its followers, poisoned the
sweet springs of human charity, prostitu-
! ted the press, and has made OF free speech
and action mockery and reproach.-
| None know these facts better than the
leaders of this unholy Readjuster party,
who, Notwithstanding, with shameless
audacity shout for a free ballot and a
fair COUNT We cannot remain silent in
| the presence of this transparent falsehOod;
and, until they cease to deceive, we Shall
continue to make reply and warn the I'M
wary"
And again. 1.-The credit and honor of
Virginia must be sustained" Many OF
| the leading Republicans have come out
boldly, and to the rank and file we would
now appeal. Possessing the power as you
do, by little exertion, 1t Is your duty to
see that the Republican doctrine OF gov
ernmental obligation and credit does not
suffer. Commence at once. Let every
honest Republican consider it his duty to
| make at least one convert, or rather, re-
| claim one who has wandered from the true
| faith. Il
The Philadelphia sTimes'' says:
"Mahone has succeeded in securing the
removal of Union soldier from the posi-
ton of Postmaster at Lynchburg. and the
appointment of Malone Democrat. This
is one of the things which seem to make II
impossible for tile Republican party to be
solid for Malone"
The VALLEY Virginian" says:
''Major Daniel has written card in re-
ference to the Wilson confession, in which
he very properly assumes that there il
not an honest man in Virginia who does
not know that l am incapable of any I'm
plicatlon in instigating the production Of
private correspondence 1t was hardly
necessary for him to have made state
ment in connection with the matter, fol
political friends and foes believe him to bt
gentleman in the true sense of the term.

The newly elected Senator from RhOd,

The newly elected Senator from Rhode
Island. Nelson W. Aldrich, is stated, on
the authority of the New York Tribune, -
to have entered the city of Providence in
the same modest manner that the illustri-
Gus Wilmington entered London-on foot
and with his clothes slung over his back.
Beng a bright, active youth, he soon pro-
cured employment in wholesale grocery
house. But with genius superior to his
station. he rose in life, till he is now the
head of one of the largest firms in the State
and holds the high positson Of United
States Senator. Mr.. Aldrich is not quite
forty years old. He is married, and has
four children.
1t is stated that the grading of the Rich
mond and Allegheny Road will be COM
pleted to Point Pleasant, Oh the Ohio riv-
or, by the LIST of January next. The COM
pany has already contracted for the bridge
over the river at that point. The Central
Ohio will then be extended from Toledo
to meet the Richmond and Allegheny at
Point Pleasant, only sixty miles of road
being required to make the connection.
