Chester A. Arthur, vice-President, sue
.ceeds by virtue Of his Office rs President of
the United States. While They were full Of
intense suffering and heroic endurance, it is
well for the country the President survived
these weeks since he was shot. The nation
has Gained; the passions and prejudices of
the hour have subsidized in the presence of a
great calamity, and the manly bearing OF the
Vice President has drawn to him the good
will even of those who then doubted and
sdistrusted, while his friends have had their
confidence verified. IL Is useless TO close
our eyes to the fact that the succession in
volevs changes in the personnel of the Ad-
! ministraiion, and to some extent in Its pol
icy. The contest between the two wings Of
I the Republican party Is so recent that its de-
tails are familiar. The sympathies Of Mr..
Arthur were with the wing opposed to the
fpolicy of the Administration, and he stecd
: by his friends in their hour Of need. 1t is
simply political impossibility that import
ant changes shall not occur. Until the late
President has been laid to rest it is not prob
! able existing conditions will be disturbed.
Then, doubtless, as is customary, the men,
sbers Of the Cabinet will tender their .esig-
nations, and the tenor of these will to some
5extent direct events. There is prejudice,
founded OH historic experience, against Vice.
Presidents on whom falls the Chief Magis-
tracy. We predict now that President Ar
sthur will be an exception to the rule; that
his will be wise, successful and pure Ad-
|. ministration, deserving and commanding
approval. Further than this it is not occa-
ssion now to speak.

William.
New YORK, Sept. 15.-The HeraiPs St.
Petersburgh cablegram says AT the meet
ling of the Emperors, as soon as the imperial

each other, the Gar addressed to the En-

most exactly: 81 have come to tell you
|that have inherited all the sentiments
(which my father ever cherished toward you.
II will hold to them all my life. am happy,
most happy, to have an opportunity of say
ling this to your Majesty, to show that there
WAS no wish to make a mystery Of IT,. This
speech was repeated to Prince Bismarck.
Nothing was signed at the meeting of the
|Emperors, but, nevertheless, solemn engage
!ments have been contracted. The Gear has
promised that if ever Germany finds herself
dragged into war, Russia will maintain the
same attitude as she did in 1870.
After Emperor William had replied to his
Imperial visitors greeting, the conversation
was devoted 10 the Nihilists, Emperor
William advised his grand nephew to have
recourse to the same means of combating
sevil IS he himself had adopted since Mob
Eings attempt--that Is, war to the knife. "In
the year which followed the adoption of this
policy" said he, "the German law courts
passed sentence on 5000 Socialists; now,

the portrait of the venerable mother OF the

likenesses of his five children, making the
Immediate family group complete. The en-
craving is very poor, but it Is the best we can
obtain of those in whom there is now such
sad national interest. Among this group
the utmost love and affection has always pre-

POST MORTEM EXAMINATION.
Official Report Of the Physicians.

ELBERoN, Sept. 21.--The following official
bulletin was prepared at IL o'clock to-nighi
nv the surgeons who have been In attendance
upon the lale President:
By previous arrangement the post NOR
TEN examination Of the body Of the Presi-
dent was made this afternoon In the pres
,nce of and with the assistance Of Doctors
Hamilton, Agnew, Bliss, Barnes, Woodward,
Reyburn, Andrew Ill. Smith OF Elberon, and
Acting Assistant Surgeon ID. l.. Lamb, Of
the Army and Medical Museum at Washing
ton. The operation was performed by DIR.
Lamb. Ii was found the ball, after fracturng
the right eleventh rib, had passed through the
spinal column, In front Of the spinal cord,
.fiacturing the body of the first lumbar yer-
Itebre, driving a number of small fragments
of bone into the adjacent soft parts, and
lodging Just below the pancreas, about two
inches and a half TO the left of the spine and
behind the peritonaum, where II had be-
come completely encysted. The immediate
cause of death was secondary hemorrhage
from one Of the mesenteric arteries adJoin-
ing the track Of the ball, the blood ruptur-
! ing the peritoneum, and nearly a pint es-
scaping into the abdominal cavity. This
is believed TO have been the
cause of the severe pain In the lower part of
sthe chest, complained Of just before death.
i An abscess in the cavity, six inches by four
i'm dimensions, was found in the vicinity Of
1.-The gall bladder, between the liver and trans
verse colon, which was strongly inter adher-
ent. 1t did not Involve the substance OF the
liver, aud no Communication was found be-
tween 1t and the wound Along this as a
supprration channel, which extended from
the external wound between the loin mus
5cles and the right kidney, almost to the
right groin. This channel Is now known to
{ be due TO the burrowing of pus from the
wound, and was supposed during life to have
been In the track of the ball. On examination
of the organs of the chest evidences of Sc
we're bronchitis were found on both sides,
! With broncho-pneumonia of the lower portion
{ of the right lung, though Of much less ex-
tent. The left lung contained no assesses
and the heart no clots. The liver was en-
slarged and fatty, but free from any abscess !;
Enor were any found in other organs except
! the left kidney, which contained near its sur
! face small assesses about one-third Of ali
sincb In diameter. In reviewing the history
fof the case in connection with the autopsy ir
lis quite evident that the different suppurat-
ling surfaces, and especially the fractured
ssp0ngy tissue of the vertebrp, furnish sutfi-
scient explanation Of the septic condition
] (which existed.

Lincoln and Garfield, two out of twenty

nonsense about the best protection being

Republican form of government There
'are as many lunatics and fanatics and
Escoundrels in America as elsewhere, as the
Ifullness Of our asylums and prisons, and the
humber vet at large In Washington and
elsewhere, abundantly proves. But no

perils. There should be law making it
