oI1R DEAD PRESIDENT.

AS briefly related in the last number
CT the CHIEF the soul of James A. Garfield,
the Nations beloved Chief Magistrate,
passed away frsm earth Monday night,
the 10Th inst, at Long Branch, New Jer-
sew. The immediate cause of death was
secondary henorrhage from one OF the
mesenteric arteries which gave tho sui
ferer acute pain. His last words were
addressed to Gen. Swain. Laying his
hand OH his heart, the dying President
exclaimed, "Swaim, have terrible
pain here. Can't you relieve me 7" The
paroxysm soon passed and the last mo-
ments of the noble martyr were calm,
painless and peaceful. He became IN
conscious Just after speaking to Gen.
Swain, and died in sweet oblivlousness
Of the sad scene at Ills bedside, where
stood wife, daughter and bosom friends a
sorrow stricken group, contemplating III
bitter grief tho sad event that has sorely
wrung the hearts Of millions Of people.
An autopsy was performed Tuesday
the official certificate Of which states that
| /" the ball, after fracturing the right elev-
cnth rib, had passed through the spinal
| column, in front Of the spinal canal, trac-
| turing the body of the first lumbar YER
tcbrn, driving number of small trag-
| meuts of bone into adjacent soft parts
and lodging below tie p:sncreas about
two and one half inches to the left OF the
spine and behind the pcritoneum, where
| it had become completely cncysted." The
liver was not directly injured by the
/ wound and contained no assesses, the
only organ so affected being the LETT kid
new. Evidences Of severe bronchitis were
apparent III the throat and lungs. The
general opinion Of medical men seems &c
be that death was inevitable, and that II
was only tho skillful nursing the Presi
dent received that kept him alive Sc
long.
The emacated form Of the illustrion:
deceased was enclosed III a handsome
casket and removed to tho rotunda Of The
Capitol at Washington, where it has bec'
viewed BY nearly $4,000 people. To-da,
tho cherished remains will be taken tt

III compliance with the request OF
Hon. J. Z. Henderson, chief of the agri-
cultural department Of the approaching

Esq., Commissioner of Agricnltne for

Gus products of Louisiana to be shown

The gentlemen of the committee an
nounce that they will take pleasure in

The Measures Necessary to Insure Low
Water Navigation.
EDITOR CuIEF:
knowing the excessive h;r,lships that
planters on the Lafourche undergo in
shipping their crops Of sugar and molas-
srs on account Of the want Of water in
the bayou, it occurred to me to address
you upon the subject and ask you to lend
your aid in urging the Importance OF
having something done toward !mprov-
ing the navigation Of said stream during
low water. There are at least two modes
which suggest themselves. One is to
lock the bayou and the other is to have
the bayou drcdgel. Either can be done
and one or the other has become an act
ual necessity, for no ole will question
the fact that each successive year wit
| ncsscs the bayon bottom with an addi
tional deposit and an additional NUM-
hey Of send bars; and as tho task o
making the bayou navigable during low
water has to be accomplished some time
Or other, why should not the government
90 right at it, and let this generation
reap the benefit.
