After tho closing of tho dopartments and places of buainoss this morning, there were crowds of pooplo upon tho streets, moving from ptaco to place, and tho utmost good order prevailed everywhere. But carly in tho afternoon moat of those who were on the nvenues and at proin- Inont polnta of tho city retired to thetr homes, and from that timoon there was almost Sabbath- Uke stillness. From time to timo extra editions of the loca! papers wero {a- sucd, but thoy contaiued very little dofinit information from Long Brauch concerning tho arrangements to be made for the funcral of tho Into President, aud there was ‘moro or losa speeutntion concerning what would be dofinitly sotticd upon, ALD DAY LONG at the White Houso preparations were being mado for the recoption of Gen. Gurileld’s fum!- ly, and tho East Stoom was also put in order, In caso it should be decided to bring on tho re- innlus to the Executive diansiou. As to whother thia would be done no one at tho White Houso had any information. Tnoy had been Informed, howevor, by Private-Secretury Brown, that Mra. Garflold and her childron would probably arrive at tho White Houge somo time tomorrow. Some of tho Executive clerks were engoged during part of tho day !n arranging Gon.

From early morning tilt Jute at night hundreds of mea wore cngngod in draping tho Whito Houso, tho various department buildings, and tho Cupltol, and all along tho structs and uvounes tho busi- ness houses wore put in mourning.

Little wna sald regarding the future. None but kind words wore spoken of Gen. Arthur. There was apparontly a full reallzution of tho delicato and necossarliy ombarrassing situation in which ho hag beon placed on every band. One could hear high commendation of the eminent pro- prioty which he bas obsorved, and of bis manly and dignified course since his predecessor was shot down by tho asdasin, During tho duy thera wore VARIOUS IDLE Nusons Inrogard to proposed attacks on tho jail in which Guiteau fa couflnod. No good foundation for such rumors could be ascortained, excepting the probability that thoro aro hero, as in other citles and communities, mon who buve for some timo been declaring tholr determination to lend a hand in the lynching of Guitenu In tho ovent of tho President's death. ‘There wore re- ports from Baltimore, Philadephia, and other cities that men bad started for Washington with the intention of alding in any nasuult which may be niado on tho jail, but, so far os can bo ascertained, TUF POLICE AUTIONITIES hero give nocredonco tothosy rumors.
