THE DEAD PRESIDENT.
 Washington Buried i'm GrIeE-The News Given to Gufteau-NO Emotion Ex- hfbited by the Assassin.
 | WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-Morning broke over this quiet afflicted city and found evil throughout it's length and breadth and ex- pressions in various ways by festoons and columns of crape and flags at ha1f-mast. The business houses are all closed and an anx- | ious reverent quiet conversation is to be heard on every hand. The display of mourn | ing has scarcely ever been equaled here, and the taste and skill with which it Aas ar- ranged is unexceptionally effective. One de- monstration of an incendiary character was | presented about o'clock this morning by l drunken street peddler and sword swallower l who delivered vigorous appeal to large au- l diences to follow him to the jail and lynch the assassin. The man proposed to arm any number of men who would accompany him and hinted darkly at vulnerable points of the iall. He was arrested and locked up. An unlucky individual narrowly escaped the fury of the crowd at about 10 o'clock this morning, which was excited by the fippant remark he had made upon the absorbing topic. All the the theaters have closed for the week on account of the death. A swift, quiet and immediate tribute of respect to the dead chieftain is this beautiful evidence of the nobility and common sense respect so particularly American It is understood fact that no theater in America will be open until after the funeral of the Presi- dent. All the government departments are closed to-day. This was decided upon at consultation to-day of the assistant secre- taries of departments and the heads of bureaus. It will be determined tomorrow whether the departments will remain closed longer than one day. Secretary Windom telegraphs that he will return tomorrow. To-day such correspondence was sent out from the departments was written on mourn ing paper. This will be used for six months. When President Lincoln was assassinated the mourning clothes during the subsequent six months. It is very probable that this GUS tom will be observed on the present occa- sion. The Executive Mansion seems to at tract more attention to day than at any time since the removal of the President. A large throng of people float about the lawn and the gates are surrounded by curious persons. fire engine was engaged during the fore noon for washing the front and sides of the mansion The flags are at half mast and the mansion is heavily draped in the habiliments of woe Sergeant Dinsmore and the late Presidents nurse Steward Crump expressed themselves thunderstruck when the news received. It came to them almost on the heels of very hopeful telegram from Dr. Boynton.
 The news of the Presidents death was re- ported to Guiteau this morning He had an intimation of the fatal termination of his work by hearing the bells tolling last night. hl1fv nf den Crocker approached his cell. Guiteau came to the door and exclaimed. General what news from the President ?" q hesita- ted to answer" said Crocker, 'sbut he re- newed his request, saying, ''You have some news General, am sure of it. What is ?' Unable to retain myself further. said, Well, the President is dead he died last night. Guiteau received the news calmly. His only remark was: ''Poor fellowi am glad he is out of his misery" He then went to the back part of his cell. There is a crowd about the jail, but it is not demonstra the jail are apparent. Those sitting and standing on the hill around the prison appear as mere curiosity seekers.
 Everywhere the city is draped in cambric weeds of woe and all flags have been at half mast. Where bulletins have been dis played pictures of the late President now ap- pear framed in the deepest black. Though
 
 been no disorderlv demonstration, and, as far as can be learned up to late hour, no effort at mobbing the jail where Guiteau is confined. The jail has been surrounded all day more or less by multitude of anxious idlers, but no mention of any disorderly pro- ceedlngs was made. The general feeling prevalent is that of the deepest sorrow, and instead of violence the people seem to have lost all revengeful feelings towards Guiteau now that their beloved President is dead.
 PREPARATIONS AT THE WHITE HOUSE.
 At the White House it was busy day. As sistant Private Secretary Pruden and his clerks arrived there early this morning and awited the news from Long Branch. A te1e- gram received from Private Secretary Brown shortly after 10 o'clock, gave notice that the Presidents remains, escorted by his family, the Cabinet and others would arrive to-mor- row. Immediately steps were taken to re- ceive them. All the rooms formerly stripped of their furniture were put in order again, the carpets were laid and by tomorrow morn ing the mansion will be in thorough order. Before noon the mourning drapery within and without was in position. In the clerks office much work was performed also. Official letters closing up the affairs of the late Pres Ldent were written upon paper edged in black. The documents, books and papers belonging to the dead chief were collected together and packed for shipment to Ohio. All the per sonal effects of the family were packed also. Mrs. Garfield and family will occupy their old apartments until after the funeral his arrival here tomorrow, but he will move into the White House next week. It is expected that the military honors to be paid to the dead President will be quite imposing. The officers of the army and naxy all of the United States troops now in the District and the local militia are under orders to meet the remains tomorrow to act escort to the White House. An order was issued from the War department tonight di- recting every post, station, fort and arsenal throughout the country to hold appropriate ceremonies in memory of the late President that the flags be kept at half f-mast, that thir- teen guns be fired at dawn of each day for thirty days, and afterwards at intervals of thirty minutes between the rising and setting of the sun 8 single gun be fired. At the close of the day 8 national salute of thirty eight guns will be fired.

There will be an equal number of officers fromst navy.
 AN EXTRA GUARD AT THE JAIL.
 The guard at the jail has been increased Considerable anxiety was expressed here over rumors with reference to a car load of roughs from New York, Trenton, N. J., Phil adelphia and other points who were coming here to lynch Guiteau. These rumors were circulated all day, and as a result the depots were surrounded by crowds of people and special details of police. The only party of roughs who came here with incendiary pur poses was the party from Baltimore who came here last evening under the command of man named J. Logan They are still here.
