PARTICULARS OF THE DEATH OF
PRESIDENT GARFIELD.
from the TameS.)
SEPTEMBER 20.

~.
The Presidents death was comparative
ly sudden. Shortly before 10 O'clock last
night DIR. Bliss saw the President, and
found his pulse l06, with all the conditions
indicating a quiet night. DR.. Bliss asked
the President whether he felt uncomforta.
BILE in any way, and the President answer
ed g Not at ALL" soon afterwards falling
asleep. DR.. Bliss left the chamber, leaving
General Swain and Colonel Rockwell with
the President. The Acknowledgement then
sent the usual evening telegram to Minis
ter Lowell.
At 1915 the President awoke, and said
there was a terrible pain about his heart
placing his hand there. DR.. Bliss was
summoned, and when he reached the bed
side he found the President unconscious
and almost without pulse the action of
the heart was indistinguishable. DR.. Bliss
said he was dying, and sent for Mrs. Gar
field and the other surgeons. The Presi-
dent remained thus till 1875, when he
was pronounced dead. The only remarks
he made were those referring to the pain
in his heart addressed to General Swain.
The immediate cause of death is supposed
to be a clot of blood in the heart.

i. Prospects continued good, but we
are sorry to learn that Yellow Fever
has followed the troops into the
county, and two Of the medical
officers are among the victims. 1t was
intended to distribute the men in
detachments in various parts OF the
island.
From TRINIDAD the news is better.
The Chronicle of The 1st inst. says
there had been no case Of epidemic

ANTIGUA.

The General Legislative Council of the
Leeward Islands was opened By Sir John
Glover in Antigua OF the 3rd inst. The
principal portion Of his address reads as
follows -
Mr.. President and Honorable Gentleman
of the General Legislative Council.
In assembling you for the first lime
since my assumption of the Government
OF the Leeward Islands, to deliberate OH
matters that require your attention, | have
necessarily very little to present for your
consideration, owing to my residence in the
Colony having been for so short a period,
together with circumstances beyond my
control, which have prevented me from
visiting more than two of the Presidenc es
of the Confederation, and becoming per
sonally acquainted with the people, their
wants and desires-I must therefore defer
to an early date in the ensuing year the
introduction of such measures as may be

riyate life as he has recently an
ounced it to be his intention"
1--WE are not of those that would
rejoice at any sudden change of this
kind. Although Sir Henry Irving
was popular as Colonial Secretary
when here, it would by no means
follow that he would be popular as
a Governor. If past experience has
anything to do with the future, the
chances are that he would not be so
popular as Sir Anthony Musgrave is
at present, besides a change in the
Governorship OF Jamaica during its
present transitory position is not TO
be desired"
Sir Anthony Musgrave is Il re-
markable man and if he is any lcdy'S
enemy, he is his own. No man ever
came to this island who was so well
received, and no mar in the position
OF Il Governor ever found a people
more ready 70 helphim and work with
him than he did when he first landed
here. His department ard his Ian
guaee have been unhappy, but IT is
just possible that he may have been
misunderstood, and although bent on
doing his best for the real and perma-
nent interest of this islandh he gave way
to temper, and being possessed Of a
,,wILL"(which is certainly better than
SIR Henry BarkIy with no wW OF his
ovn, a mere "Wpafher Cock") he
was obstinate, and beng fond of
power, he used it hastily. Calmer
reflection however when passion
gives way to reason, reveals that
with all this jamaica has made pro
gress ecen IN the tempest and we can
not help observing that although we
have very seriously differed with Sir
Anthony, although we have felt il orr
duty to protest, perhaps, rs Don jann
puts it, "too mach,"ye we have don" 1t
faithfully and honestly throughout,
as we always hope t" do when we
have Il conscientious conviction that
we are in the Right: aud now i'll the
words Of Hamlet we say OF him.
He was a man, take him for ali in all,
We Shall not look upon his ike again"
The News Letter goes on to men
ton numerous improvements worked
out by Sir Anthony, including the local
telegraph, increase of steam commu-
nication, penny savings banks, and
an agricultural loan association.

ministration of the Government of these
Islands on a more thoroughly Federal
basis than that at present existing, and
which, while giving effect to the present
desires of the People, may, | trust, realiZe
the hope of increased prosperity and con-
tentmene of which Confederation at its III
PRODUCTION gave promise"
The Ne,c Era is greatly pleased with
this address, as we'll as with the Governors
action generally, and sees in Sir John
a popular ruler. The editor Says "Here
until recently a family party was in power.
But now the peoples party is in power"
From the Observer we take the following
judicious remarks on the same subject,
The Address of His Excellency the
Governor to the General Legislature,
which will be found in another column,
is necessarily brief, owing, as his Excellen.
cy explains, to his short residence in the
Colony, and to his consequent imperfect
knowledge of public affairs. From his
Excellency'S utteranceS on the present
occasion, however, ir is evidently his
desire to govern the colony on a popular
basis, which we may take broadly to mean
that he will refrain from Introducing any
constitutional or other innovations repug-
nan to the wishes of the people. His
ENcclleney is credited with much energy
OF character, and it may be relied upon
that he is sincerely DESTROYS of promoting
the prosperity of the communities over
whom he has been appointed to rule.
Time, however, only can determine to
What extent he will prove successful, and
we can only devOutly hope that he will be
endowed with wisdom from on high to use
such powers as are conided to him with
moderation and true Judgment. The
advent of every new ruler is apt to inspire
e~xtravaGant hopes among the unthinking
portion of the community, and his Excel
lency would probably smile if he knew
the many real or supposed reforms which
popular admiration expects he will imne.
diately execute. People forget that the
Governor Of the Colony is a constitutional
ruler, working with a constitutional AS
sembly, and that these two bodies, the
Executive and the Legislative, together,
will have always calmly to consider how
far ends can be accomplished by means,
and to what extent projects even desirable
in themselves can be executed with the
resources Of the colony. With regard to
this Presidency it has been the good
fortune of Sir John Glover to commence
his reign with a more Furnishing condition
OF the public finances than has been the
lot Of any former Governor for many past
years and the prospects OF the country,
agricultural and commercial, for the COM
ing year, have seldom been better. But
even before the Governor arrived there
were measures of acknowledged public
utility put by the late government in
targible shape before the public, the Civ

President Gartleld,s Inauguration.

A presidential inaugural address is re-
garded as a comprehensive development OF
the plan on which the government will be
administered, so far as certain governmental
principles or lines Of conduct have crystal
lied and become the fixed policy of party
It is sort Of prologue and deals more in
general hints than in detailed elaboration
of the incidents of the drama which IL fore
shadows. Judged by the prologue, and
keeping the record of twenty years Of pub
lie life within the purview Of that address,
we are assured that President Garfield in
vites the fifty millions of his fellow-citizens
to neither farce nor an inexplicable dumb
show" A play replete with patriotic pur-
pose, drama which shall unfold and cour-
ageously advance the high destines OF the
great republic on an elevated plane OF ma
tional existence, is the scheme OF admins
ton which the inaugural sketches in clear,
bold, striking outlines. Three notable points
are sharply drawn,-the full and equal en-
oyment of the suffrage in the south the
inception and practical application of sys-
TEN of universal education which shall d.
vest the suffrage of the " danger that turks
and hides in the sources and fountains Of
power in every state !" and the making of a
truce with time in the work of reconciling
the sections lately at war by means of which
results sure to be accomplished fifty years
hence shall be anticipated and utilized now
in the interest Of national amity and mate
rial progress. If it shall appear during the
unfolding events of the next four years that
any substantial progress has been made
toward the publication of the suffrage, its
elevation through the education Of the ignor-
ant and debased, and the establishment Of
fraternal relations and civil liberty in every
corner of this nation, President Garfield,
the chief actor by instinct and ability as
well as by official position in a consumma-
ton SO devoutly wished for, will be called be-
fore the footlights of united nation in
1884 by an imperious encore to carry on and
complete his great work.

Mrs. HAYEs.-The prime minister of Mr..
Hayes administration was nominated and
confirmed long before presidential RESPONSE
bilities haunted his dreams, and the unwrit-
ten law of the land has confirmed to her
higher prerogatiyes than the recorded law
has ever extended to cabinet minister.
She has exercised a mastery over the heads
and hearts of people that the strongest stat
utory provisions have never conferred upon
presidents or lower officials. No mistress of
the White House has ever welded so magical
an influence, and no one has ever used it TO
such high and noble ends and with such UNI
rivaled grace and sweetness. At her last
reception, on Saturday, she shook hands
with over five thousand people, and on
Monday thousands more crowded TO see this
woman who has so strongly endeared herself
TO the whole country. On Wednesday she
escaped to Mount Vernon to gain little
needed rest. So determined have been the
people to see and speak with this gracious
lady that squad OF officials have been com
PEELED to guard the doors to her reception
rooms, and when she made her final adieus
at the White House there was many tear
shed as the good-byes were spoken. More
than the Empress Josephine at the court Of
Napoleon has been this uncrowned sovereign
Of republican America. Regard for hel
knows no limitation OF section or politics
but all are loyal, chiyalrous Ohioans in thei
regard for this peerless Buckeye dame.

Veto OF the Funding Bill.

President Hayes signalzed the close Of
his administration by an act Of characters
tic good sense and resolution. He promptly
vetoed the refunding bill on the Sd instant.
He has been true to the last moment TO that
sound financial policy which is the glory Of
his administration. Having encouraged
and assisted the country out Of its CONNER
cial depression and suffering, in which 1t lay
at the commencement of his presidency,
and stood like rock between our industries
and laundering and nimical congress, he
had no notion at the last moment to allow a
measure to become law which would undo
all the work Of four years. Likening small
things to great, the passage of this act was
to the finances and industries of the nation
like the passage Of an act repeating the con-
stitutional amendments which secured the
results of the late war. The president based
his veto upon objections to the fifth section,
which relates to the national banking sys-
TEN, and which is not an essential part of
a refunding measure. He makes the strong
point that under this section no additional
banks will be organized, except possibly in
few cities or localities where the prevailing
rates of interest in ordinary business are
extremely low" Limiting the banks, after
July |, to the purchase of three per cent bonds
when there are one thousand millions Of
other United States bonds bearing higher
rate of interest, and, therefore, better Sc
curity for the bill holder, is radical change
in the banking law. The national banking
system, if continued at all, would be mo-
nopoly in the hands of those already en-
gagged in it. The act jeopardizes the whole
banking system by taking from it that fea-
ture that makes 1t system free upon the
same terms to all who engage in it. Re-
garding this section as a step in the direc-
ton of the destruction of the banking sys-
tenn, the merits of which the president eulo-
gizes, believing it will bring disaster to the
business Of the country by causing the re-
firing of bank circulation and as wholly
unnecessary to a refunding measure, the
president withheld his refusal, and the coun-
try resumed the even tenor of its prosperous
way with benedictions on the splendid
spinal column of President Hayes.

ANEcDorE OF SENATOR CARPESrER.-Twenty.
Ave years ago or thereabouts, Mr.. Carpenter was
living at Beloit, Wisconsin, and boarded with E
G. Strong, ESD, who formerly kept a hotel in
Montpelier. A son OF Mr. Strong, now the Rev
Dr. Strong OF Mortified, Minnesota, tells the
writer Of this paragraph the following story Car
penters eyes were poor, and young Strong wa,
frequently invited TO join him for a ride for pleas
ure or on professional duty, to drive and care
for the team, Carpenters sight being too poor t
do it himself. Dr. Strong says that while engaged
in these rides, Mr.. Carpenter was almost con
tinually employed in reciting poetry, law prin
ciples and maxims that he did this with the sam,
nonchdlence as il he were alone; in fact, h,
seemed utterly oblivious Of the fact that any ont
was with him. Now when SO much is being sale
about the dead senator. and of his remarkable
memory and brilliant attachments, 1t occurs to u,
that this little story is OF interest, as showing
what were the habits OF the man, and how his
mind came to be 50 well stored with so much OF
that which was valuable, and served him no doubt
on hundreds Of occasions in the forum, on the
stump and at the bar.
