AS regards the political results
likely to follow upon the death of
President Garfield, the APPEAL says:
There seems to be a very general
concurrence in the belief that Pres
ident Arthur will continue in the
line marked out by Garfield, and
that there will not be any change.
The New York Times and Tribune
both assume this--the latter stating
with seeming positiveness that Gen.
Arthur will be restrained by obli-
cations which public opinion will
not allow him, if he desired it, to
ignore"

follows:
"When a vacancy shall occur in

make an order in writing, directed
to the commissioners of election,
commanding an election to be held
on a day to be named in such order,
to fill such vacancy; and they shall
give at least ten days notice of such
election, as directed by the last
section, (155) and shall give a GER
tiicate OF election to the person
elected, and shall return to the
secretary of state, a copy for hold
ing the election, certified by the
clerk of the board of supervisors,
and the person elected shall be
commissioned by the governor"

such deputy may continue to dis.

faithful performance of the duties

The autopsy upon the body Of
President Garfield shows the ball
to have lodged in the immediate
vicinity Of the heart. And it Is
stated on authority that the devel-
opments of the autopsy prove that
death was inevitable, and that the
Presidents life was only sustained
by the most excellent nourishing
and constant care.

DEATH OF JAMES A. GARFIELD.

DEATH OF JAMES A. GARFIELD.
The President, after heroic strug-
gle for life, since he was stricken
down by the bullet of the assassin.
on the End Of July, breathed his last
at 1875 on Monday night. He is
dead. A representative American
citizen, respected and honored at
home and abroad, has fallen, and
the nation mourns..
We are informed that shortly be-
fore 10, p. M, "Dr. Bliss had seen
the President and found his pulse
at lO6 beats per minute, and all
conditions were then promising for
a quiet night. The doctor asked
the President if he was feeling un-
comfortable in any way. The Pres
ldent answered mot at all" ana
shortly afterward fell asleep, and
Dr. Bliss returned to his room across
the hall from tina; occupied by the
President. Colonies Swain and
Rockwell remained with the presi-
dent. About fifteen minutes after
ten the president awakened and
remarked TO Col. Swain that he
was suffering great pain, and plac-
ed his hand over his heart. DR..
Bliss was summoned, and when he
entered the room he found the
president substantially without
pulse, and the action of his heart
was almost indistinguishable. He
sad at once that the president was
dying, and directed Mrs. Garfield
to be called; also the doctors. The
president remained in a dying con-
dition until 1885, when he was pro.
npunced dead.

scenes where the happiest hours
of his life were spent. He sat in
the dear old homestead, with the
loved ones around him, his aged
mother so proud of her big boy, a
faithful wife and beloved children.
1t was a blissful dream that robbed
death OF its terrors and rendered a
dying man for a moment uncon-
scious of the cruel rending Of his
once vigorous frame that was con-
stantly going on. The moan ofthe
restless ocean mingled with the
sobs OF the loved ones as the lamp
of life flickered and went out
forever.

Hudson correspondent represents me rs say

committee an unfortunate one, and though
they brought in a verdict Of acquittal, an
agreement. was signed by five out of seven
recommending suspension until Conference
and would have been made public in q day
or two, &c. The following In brief were my
statements The trial was thorough, and

charge of seduction and adultery, and while
majority thought it better for Mr.. Atwater
to suspend work until the annual Conference,
