and private realdences are draped in. mourn- Ing. All these but faintly represent Chi- cago’a gtief at the whole Natton’s loas, ‘Tir Southern journats are unanimous in‘ thelr expressions of profound sorrow at the death of Progident Garfletd. Thoy look on’ his untimely demise not in the light of s loss to thoir section so much.as in the light of a National calamity. Present Ganrinip's mother was sleep ing yesterday morning at 6 o'clock at the house of her daughter, Mrs. Larrabee, when apriyate telegram announaing the death of her son arrived, She did not awake until 8 o'clock, and the news was not broken to her until she had partaken of breakfast. When informed of hig death she burst Into tears, No Inngunge can describe the devoted inothor’s anguish, Gex, Artur arrived at Long Branch at five minutes past 1o'clock yesterday after noun, He was metat the station by Scere tarles Windom, Hunt, and Kirkwood, Post- ninster-General James, and Attorney-Gen- eral MnacVengh, Secretaries Blaine and Lincoln accompanied him from New York, President Arthur looked quite sad and care- worn, Ills face was pale. Ifo was driven to Attorney-Gieneral MacVeagh’s cottage, and was soon Joined by the Cabinet officers. Ges, GARFIERD was always of opinion that he would dic on tha 10th of Septeniber, the anniversary of the battle of Chickamnau- ga, for galiant conduct in which he was made Major-General, He frequently sald so to his friend, Gen, R. D, Mussey, a well- known Washington Inwyer. When Gen, Mussey was told, on the 27th of August, that the physicians told Mrs. Garfield and the Cabinet officers that the President could not tive, he sald promptly that the President would not die until the 19th of September, Distnict-ATronneY ConkiiLn sald to n Tuinune correspondent yesterday that there was absolutely no foundation for the state- ment that it would bo necessary to take Guitcdu to New Jersey to attend the Cor oner’s jury in the enso of President Garfleld. Tle sald that Guiteau would be tried in Wash- ington when the time arrived. Mr. Corkhlil stated also that there was no truth in tho ru- mors that the jatl was about to be attacked that Guitean might be taken therefrom and lynched. The law will probably be allowed to take its course In Gulteau’s case, Iivan Hastinas, of tho New York Com- mercial, an intimate friond of President Arthur, and whosupported Conkling through tho entire contest at Albany, said yesterday that he would advise Gen. Arthur to retain President Garficld’s Cabinet. It is sinted that the new President told the Cabinet officers at Attorney-General MacVeagl’s house yesterday that for the present at least ho wished them to retain thelr positions. There isa very general and o very strong feellng among President Arthur's friends that he should begin where President Garfield left off, and that it would be wiso, and at the same time in accordance with the popular desire, to retain tha present Cablnot ofiicers in their respective positions, GEN. SrenMan has issued an orderf!o3 tho military commands in the fleld, at each military station, and at tho Multary Acnd- emy at West Point, that at 10 in the forenoon after the receipt of the order the troops and cadets be paraded, after which all labor for the day will cease, At dawn thirteen guns will be fired at each military post, and after- wards at intervals of thirty minutes between. the rising and setting of tha sun. .The Na- tional flag will be displayed’ at half-sunast nt the headquarters of the severnt mill- tary divistons and departments and at all the military stations until the remains of President Garfield are ‘con- sicned to their last resting- place, The officers of the army will wenr a badge of mourning on the left arm anton theirswords, and the colors of the regiments will be put in mourning for ‘six months. Gen. Sherman, Gen. Uancock, Quartermaster-General Meigs, Adjutant-Genoral Drum, and In- spector-General D, 8. Sackett will, with n ko nuniber of officers of the navy, compose a guard of honor to accompany the remains of Presidont Garfield from Washington to Cleveland. —— ‘Tue arrangements for the dend President's funeral are almost complote. At 10 0’clock this morning hls remains will be placed In the second car of a train of four cars resting on the recently-constructed track in front of the Francklyn Cottage, The first car will bo an ordinary baggage-car, Mrs, Garfleld and her family and such friends as sho may Juvite will occupy the third car, and tho fourth car will be occupied by tho Cabinet oflicers and the physicians. ‘Tho train will start for Washington soon after 10 o'clock, and no othor train will bo allowed to run immediately before or behind ft. The funeral-train will arrive at Washington at 4 o'clock this after- noon, The body will remain In state In the rotunda of the Capitol until Friday at 4 o'clock, when ft will be pinced on board n special Pennsylvanian Railroad train and taken to Cleveland, vla Pittapurg, ‘The ro- ming will Ho in state nt Cleveland from the thue of arrlyal Saturday night untll Monday, when they will bo interred In tho Lake View Cemetery, It was the desire of President Garitotd that his funeral should be as unos- tentatious as_ possible, and Mrs, Garfield de- sires her husband’s wishes carried out ag nearly as may be. The public cannot but Bppreclate and respect the wishes of Mrs, Garfleld and the honored dead, Sorrow at the death of Gon, Garfield is not confined to this country, In England, Genuany, France, and throughout the civil. zed world It Is deep, profound, Intense, Queon Victoria cables from Balmoral to Mra, Garfield; “Words cannot express the deep syiwpathy L feel with you, May God support and comfort. you, a8 He alone can.” ‘The English journals of every’ shade of opinion have only words of the warmest sympathy for the American Nation, and of feeling eulogy for the Nation's dead Chivf, ‘The Palt Matt Gazette, which more than any other English Journal, perhaps, represents Engilsh feeling, says: There will boscarce- ly one Engilshman in o thousand who willnotread of President Gardeld's death with regret as real and usdeop as if he had been a rulerof our own land, A communion of sorrows unites the occan-suudered mum- bers of ta English raco today more closely fran it has ever been united since 1770," The Gazette cannot. but admire the Amer- lean people In that thera hus been a subsl- dence of party recrim{nation sluce the hour when the President was shot, and thinks that the incident will contribute to the stability and unity of the Republic, Jt concludes by gaying that “another strong human Snterest has linked the States ta tho political centre of the Union; another hallowed momory has been added to the histurleal inheritance of the Republic. ‘The Ideal of American citizenship will be purified and clovated by the thought of his shuplicity, devotion, and patriotism.
