THE PRESIDENT’S JOURNEY. HISDEPARTUREFROMTHECITY DISPATCHES FROM THE TRAIN. THE PATIENT DOING WELL. HE TO ENOY ‘THE CHANGE. ARRIVAL AT PHILADELPHIA. —— ss ALL GOING WELL SO FAR. The President was removed from the city this morning. All night long the work of prepara- tion went on in the White House. The doctors spokenot much of the President’s condition, but of the President’s removal. Most of the baggage from the White House was at the depot and in the car by eleven o'clock last night, but until one o’cloek this morning there were trips to the train, with this or that thing that had been forgotten, or was not ready when the bulk of the baggage went down. The principal points under discussion by the doctors and nurses, were as to the exact method of the re- moval. These discussions resulted in a slight change from the plan of yesterday. The bed upon which the President has lain was not taken into the ex- Press wagon, as was the intention. At half past five o'clock the actual removal commenced. The President was removed from his bed and Placed upon a stretcher, which had been prepared during the night. The doctors and nurses took the stretcher up and carried it feet foremost down the stairs. It was taken down the pnvate stairway, which is to the right of the building as you enter. A brief stop was made inside the glass doors which shut oft the lower corridor of the house from the public vestibule. There the President was transferred toa bed which had been specially prepared for- him. Along the sides of this bed had been run an outer framework of white pine. From the framework there branched out three handles on either side, braced with iron band- ages. Upon it wasa hair mattress, with sheet, blanket and pillow. The head of the mattress was elevated about ten degrees more than was afforded by the pillow. The President was changed from the stretcher to this bed in a few minutes. The blanket and sheet were placed over him. Then was commenced THE PROGRESS TO THE EXPRESS WAGON. The same people who had brought the Presi- dent down stairs on the stretcher took hold of the bed. They were General Swaim, Colonel Rockwell, Colonel Corbin, Dr. Boynton, Dr. Bliss, Dr. Reyburn, and Mr. 0. E. Rockwell. When the President was out of the door and being moved toward the wagon some of those who had hold of the stretcher were relieved by Sergeant Dinsmore and Dubois, Atchison, Louis and Smith, of the White House. The express wagon, which had been in waiting for some hours, had been backed close up to the eastern end of the porch. A movable plat- form of boards nalled together was ex- tended from the porch to the tailboard of the wagon. Inside the wagon was a set of double bed springs. Lying thereupon and covering the springs wasa section of plank- ing made for the purpose. The bed was taken in almost on a level. and rested upon the plank- ing. There were cleats in the planking to pre- vent a shifting of the bed. although such a thing could not have occurred, so gently but firmly was the bed managed by those ON THE WAGON. Dr. Boynton sat at the head of the bed, on the right side. Next him in the wagon was Gen. Swaim, and at the foot of the bed on the same side was Mr. 0. E. Rockwell. On the left side of the wagon was Col-Rockwell, Dr. Bliss and Dr. Reyburn, in the order named, from the head of the wagon.

DERBY HATS, in Black, Brown and Pearl, SILK and CASSIMERE DRESS HATS. Mr. Warren s. Young, of the White House executive force, stooa at the foot of the bed. Dan Spriggins, one of the Presi- dent’s body servants, was also there. All hay- ing been comfortably arranged the horses, which were to haul the wagon to the depot, were put to the pole. They had been standing by in Letts harness for two hours. The small congregation of carriages, which, since half- past four, had been knotted around the White House portico, began to break. THE PASSAGE TO THE DEPOT. First there went a carriage containing Drs. Agnew, Barnes and Woodward. Next came a carriage with Mrs. Edson, Miss Mollie Garfield and Miss Rockwell. Mr. Brown in his buggy followed. These left by the front gate and drove at good speed to the train. Mrs. Garfield and Mrs. Rockwell left about the same time, but by the back way. Then came the starting of the wagon containing the President. Dinsmore was on the box with the driver. A slight word to the two horses and they pulled over the sand which had been laid on the six feet of concrete between the porch of the White House andthe roadway. the wagon moved away the President waved his left hand to those on the porch, and commenced his jour- ney to Long Branch. THE PRESIDENT’S APPEARANCE BETTER THAN EXPECTED. His head was elevated considerably, and the bed being pretty high up a good view of him was to be had. He lay on his back squarely. A sheet and blanket covered his body up~to the arms. Around the head was a bandage of white, saturated with water, to keep his temples cool. The morning, even at that early hour, was very warm. His face was pale, but did not look ax wan or wasted as it was thought by many it would look. There was surprise on the part of those who had not seen him since he was shot to note how much better he looked than they thought possible. His face, by no means, bore out the reports that he was attenuated even unto a living skeleton. It was noticeable where the whiskers had been cut off on the right side in dealing with that troublesome gland. The President looked one hundred per cent better than any one who had formed an opinion as to his appearance could have ex- OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE GATES. from 17th street down. Sergeant Perry had = stopped all vehicles from com- ing upon the street below 17th street. Now in a rapid walk, now in a dog trot, the sturdy bays drew the wagon down the avenue. Police- men stationed at every corner of int streets kept all people off the carriage way, but allowed them on the sidewalk. The early crowd which was at the White House gate when the President passed through, followed at a short distance or kept apace with the wagon. The crowd was com| mostly of half-grown boys, bootblacks and colored people, with now and then a young woman. There was no cran- ing of necks to see the patient. He was so earried that all could look upon him by simply turning their heads in hisdirection. “He looks much better than we expected,” was the general comment. He did not look any worse to Tue Star reporter thanhe did when being taken into the house from the depot on the day Guiteau shot him. THE PRESIDENT'S INTEREST IN THD SCENES ABOUT HIM. The President laid on his back. He turned his head now and then and took a view of the Avenue as he went down and of the people walking beside him. There appeared to be a relieved expression on his face, asif he was glad to get away. The horses went on steadily, keeping to the south side of the Avenue. There were heads in the windows as the wagon passed on. The crowd just below the Treasury began to grow larger. Laborers on their way to the day’s toil joined in the following. The small boy began to congregate in numbers. There was not much of incident on the passage to the depot. The driver went over the soft sawdust that had been laid upon the crossings of inter- secting street railroad tracks. The steady Jolt of the wagon, the springy motion of the Presi- dent and the fan of Col. Rockwell, con- stantly agitated, were all that there was about the conveyance. At llth street the crowd became larger still. It poured up from below the Avenue. But there was no noise. At ‘7th street there was a noiseless rush of men and boys from the market-house. There was where the crowd gathered the quickest. The 7th street car track was passed over sawdust and the wagon went on. One had to walk fast to keep up with the. lengthy stride of the horses. Past 7th street there were further accessions to the crowd. About five hundred people were as close to the car as they could get. AT THE TRAIN. Drs. Barnes and Agnew wereinthe President's car, and had everything perfected for his recep- tion. Mrs. Garfield, Miss Mollie, Mrs. Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, and Mrs. Garfield’s two servants, Mary and Lizzie, were already in the car. Mrs. Edson stood on the platform in black, waiting tor the President. Mrs. Rockwell's handsome gray hair and Mrs. Garfield's pale face were close together. The wagon was backed carefully up to the car. The ride from the White House had occupied about eight minutes. It was accomplished without any trouble or any annoyance to the patient. There was no incon- yenience either from the wagon or in handling the President. Col. Benedict, of Adams’ Express | company, had charge of the matter ot transpor- tation throngh the city. Sergeant Guy walked at the horses’ heads trom the White House to the depot. NOCTURNAL SCENES ABOUT THE DEPOT. During yesterday afternoon and evening there were many visitors at the depot to see the cars of which the train was made up, and a favored few were admitted to the presidential car. Out- side the depot the crowds lingered far into the night. The report gained currency that, not- withstanding the railroad people who were ordered to the train had gone off with the in- tention of sleeping until 5 o'clock, the Presi- dent and party would leave between 12 and 1. ee the crowd hung around till after mid- might. FINISHING THE TRACK. Afterthe street cars stopped running about two o'clock, the workmen commenced to lay the piece of track necessary to connect the new temporary track on 6th street, with the main track. Then those about the vicinity of the de- pot were certain that as soon as it was com- pleted the President would be brought down, and the train would start. Very soon there were over two hundred people gathered about the work. About the same time the workmencommenced to lengthen the track from the north end, and it was carried toward the northeast corner of 6th and the avenue, within 25 feet of the curb. This work was completed shortly before 5 o'clock. The total length of the extra track is 985 feet. During the evening the questions of the time for the train to leave and the details as to the orders of the running of thetrain, &c., were dis- cussed. Of course there were inquiries as to how an outsider could get on the train and how news could be received therefrom. When some of the railroad employés showed little cards, on which was written ‘Admit —— to the Presi- dential Train. T. ,” it was remarked that the rules were of on pattern. PRECAUTIONS AGAINST ACCIDENT. The orders were such as to insure safety, and even had there been a break in the telegraph wires the train Would have left with a thorough understanding among those in charge of other trains so that absolute safety was assured. Capt. Matt Server during the evening supplied the train with chicken (broiled or toasted), tender loin steaks, baked ham, lamb chops, beef tongue, sardines, French peas, melons, potatoes, toma- toes, eggs, appolinaris water, champagne, claret, whisky, lemons, &c. fi PREPARATIONS THIS MORNING. Between 4 and 5 o’clock the railroad men commenced to arrive,and one of them remarked that Just ashe was awakened at his hotel he was in the midst of a dream that he had safely landed the President at Long Branch. Soon Mr. J. K. Sharpe, in charge of the B. & P. in- terests here, and the other officials were busily engaged about the depot and the-yard. NIGHT WORK ON THE AVENUE. At five o’clock men were laying the sawdust, above referred to, over the street railroad tracks at 14th and 9th and 7th streets. They, how- ever, took time to discuss a fine set out in Capt. Server's restaurant. It was a novel sight to see the men with numerous lanterns at work on the avenue, and still more so to see a train of cars across the avenue. AS THE HOUR OF SIX APPROACHED numbers of persons gathered about the depot, but were kept back to the pavement by ropes stretched along the curb by the police, 140 officers having been stationed about the depot and along the avenue. There were perhaps 600 to 800 persons about the corner of 6th street and the Avenue. Lieut. Weaver, with 12 regulars from the arsenal, reported to assist in movil the President. The crowd became somewhat impatient as there was no appearance of the Presidential party, but at 5:55 o’clock Surgeon General Barnes and Drs. Agnew and Woodward prrived, and attention was then turned to the ‘upper end of the Avenue. ARRIVAL OF THE PRESIDENTIAL PARTY AT THE DEPOT. Ina short time the carriage containing Mrs. Garfield, Miss Mollie Garfield, Mra. Edson and Mrs. Rockwell arrived, followed by the two servants, Lizzie Cutter and D. Spraggs, and they were shown seats in President Roberts’ car. At twelve minutes past sfx o'clock the wagon the President arrived, Col. Rockwell, yburn, Gen. 658, known as an Anthracite C. engine, P-E.R. standard, od with a, , Gwinnell, firemen. Jolini Ungianb, engineer, and S. A. Reynolds fireman, running as local to Bay View.

Those who went with the President were the following: Dr. Agnew, Dr. Bliss, Dr. Boynton, Dr. Reyburn, Dr. Barnes, Dr. Woodward, Mrs. Garfield, Miss Molle Garfield, Mrs. Rockwell, Miss Rockwell, Col. Corbin, Gen. Swaim, Col. Rockwell, Mr. Brown, Mrs. Edson, Mrs. Gar- field’s servants, Lizzie and Mary. THE POLICE ARRANGEMENTS. Major Brock had out one hundred and forty policemen on duty, and divided them in squads on the whole line between 17th and 6th streets, and the best of order was preserved throughout the entire line of the route taken by the Presi- dent. The lieutenants of the various precincts were summoned to police headquarters last night when the arrangements were completed for this morning. THE PRESIDENT'S CONDITION LAST NIGHT. Beyond the recurrence of the nightly fever and restlessness, the President passed a comfortable night last night. He again talked about his re- moval, but was soon quieted by the statement that he would be taken away this morning with- out fail. After 11 o'clock it can be said that he slept well. There was no morevomiting. There was nothing of a disturbing character about his case. At midnight he was pronounced to be in better shape than for a week past. The night was oppressively warm, and the cooling opera- tion was kept moving until the early hours ofthe morning. In making preparations for his jour- ney no morphine or any narcotic was adminis- tered. He was given nutriment early this morn- ing. It was of the liquid form. The President went away in what Dr. Reyburn said to THE Srar reporter at the depot was “an encouraging condition.” LAST NIGHT'S BULLETIN. EXECUTIVE Mansion, Sept. 5, 6:30 p.m.—No material change has taken place in the condition of the President since morning. The parotid abseess continues to improve, and the wound remains about the same. The pulse is some- what less frequent than at noon. At present it is 108, temperature 99.8, respiration 18. Should no untoward symptoms’ prevent, it is hoped to move the President to Long Branch to-morrow. SECRETARY BLAINE’S DISPATCH LAST NIGHT to Minister Lowell was as follows: “This has been the hottest day of the season, and the heat has told upon the President. His pulse and temperature have been higher than for several days past. In other respects there has been no special change either favorable or adverse. It is expected that he will be removed to Long Branch to-morrow. It is hoped that the sea air will strengthen him. The President Better at Bowie. A dispatch from Bowie at 7 o'clock states that there was then a decided change for the better in the President’s condition, the pulse having fallen 12 beats since leaving the White House, and the appearance of the patient was cheerful, 87 Miles Out—The Patient Doing Splendidly. A second dispatch, from St. Agnes, (37 miles from Washington,) says: “The President is doing splendid.

The following dispatch was thrown off: ‘The Presi- it is so far doing so well that the surgeons would like to increase the speed where it can be safely and comfortably done.” SCENES IN BALTIMORE. Batrwors, Sept..6.—Engine No. 5, in charge of Train Master Bell and Assistant Road Fore- man Wallis, running as a pilot engine ahead of train bearing the President, passed through Union depot at 7:48. At the depot perfect quiet prevailed, the building and tracks in the vicinity having been cleared of all engines and cars. Passing trains had been held back and the tunnel, from one end to the other, was entirely clear and free from smoke. The train bearing the President passed at a slow rate of speed on the track outside the depot, making no stop. Few persons were about. Superintendent Wilkins received the dis- patches thrown from the train and handed them to the representatives of the press, and kindly gave them the use of the railroad wires to for- ward their messages into the city offices. BULLETIN FROM SECRETARY BROWN. BaLtrwore, Sept. 6.—The President has stood the fatigues of travel up to this hour with re- markable fortitude. His pulse is even less fre- quent than it was before leaving Washington. It is now 106. The arrangements are so com- plete in every detail that. the inconvenience to the President is reduced almost to a minimum. The bed upon which he is now lying is so care- fully adjusted that the yibration is hardly no- ticeable. The train ran from Washington to Baltimore at an average rate of speed, causing Jess annoyance than if it was reduced one-half. At 7 o’clock the Presiderit took three ounces of beef tea with relish. J. 8. Brown. DISPATCHES THROWN OFF THE TRAIN. BatTimore, Sept. 6.—The President’s train Perryman’s, 26 miles east of Baltimore, at 8:29.

Ex-Representative Wiltshire, who for four Arkansas, isin the city. As to when the Vice President should act in case of the President's inability, the judge said te a Star reporter: “It seems to me that there can be but little difficulty in determining that question should the emergency arise. The duties of the Vice President are defined by the constitution. The most important of which. and I apprehend the most delicate, would be that of exercising the powers and performing the duties of President in case of the inability of President Garfield to exercise and perform the same. His duty, how- ever, to do so would be none the less when the emergency arises. When that exists is one of great importance and delicate to de- which the President might fall or misfortunes happen him that would render the condition of the Vice President exceedingly embarrassing, such asthe President becoming paralyzed unable to speak or to express himself in writing, or in case of ey, or permanent insanity. In the one case he would be physically, and inthe other case mentally unable to express or declare anything. These conditions of the President, fortunately for both the President and the coun- try, do not exist; therefore, we have only to deal with the question pending. _I think there can be no doubt that if President Garfield, in his pres- ent condition, as it is given to the country bythe eminent physicians attending him, should, in a letteraddressed to Vice President Arthur, declare that there were important powers and duties to be exercised and performed at the present time by the President of the United States, and that he, from the causes well known to exist, was practice steamer Mayflower and ordered to set- | physically unable, for the time being, to perform tle accounts, then wait orders; Assistant Paymas- ter Thomus T.

Reports from these indicate that troops were worsted. Reinforcements are now en route from Thomas. Precautions made to defend agency in case of attack. Leave to-morrow for Washington, via Thomas. Garprner, Inspector. a The Yorktown Centennial, THE TROOPS THAT WILL PARTICIPATE. Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, accompanied by Col- Wertenbaker, of the 3d Virginia state militia: and several members of Gen. Lee’s staff, visited this city last Saturday to confer in regard to the appearance of the Ist_brigade, Virginia militia, at Yorktown. Gen. Lee expects to have be- tween 2,000 and 3,000 troops on the field, and has made arrangements by which the majority of them will establish company messes on the und, as is usual with troops in the field. ‘en. Lee reports that arrangements are being made for a grand parade and review of the Vir- ginia troops, en route to Yorktown, at Rich- mond on Monday, the 17th of October, in which the 13th New York, 1st Connecticut and other visiting organizations will participate. REGULAR TROOPS COMING. It is understood that the War department has authorized Gen. Hancock to send a force of reg- ular troops to participate in the celebration at Yorktown, of not less than 1,000 enlisted men. It is not expected that the government will make an imposing demonstration of regular troops, but that it will have a sufficient repre- sentation of the reguiar establishment as a nucleus to co-operate with the state military organizations.

Seigel, of Richmond, who has charge of the chorus of 300 voices at the cere- monies of the laying of the corner stone, has reported an elaborate and interesting program, which includes the ‘Star Spangled Banner,” “The Marseillaise,” “Hail Cotumbia,” “The Centennial Hymn,” with words by Charles Poindexter, mu- sic by J. E. Schmolzer, and the ‘Centennial Ode,” words by Paul H. Hayne, music by Prof. Mosenthal, of Philadelphia. THE DELAWARE REGIMENT. The adjutant general of Delaware re} morning that the Diamond State will rts this repre- sented at Yorktown by a regiment of six com- | | ne of militia, accompanied by a fall brass ind, the whole comprising a force of 400 men, which will escort the governor and staffand state | the same, it would become the duty of Vice Pres- ident Arthur to at once enter upon the perform- ance of the same. The fifth paragraph of the first section of article second of the Constitu- tion provides that ‘In case of the removal of the President from office, or of his death, resignation or inability to discharge the powers and duties of said office the same shall devolve on the Vice President.’ From the doubts expressed on this subject it seems to be a question whether it was the office of President that devolved on the Vice President in the present case or only the duties of that office. Hitherto the powers and duties of the office of President has not devolved on the Vice President except. in cases of the death of the President. Vacancies in that office have not so far been occasioned -by either removal or resignation. This is the firat instance in the history of the government when there has been aphysical inability of the President ‘to dis- the powers and duties’ of that office, and it would seem to be the most reasonable conclu- the paragraph of the constitution referred to, that should President Garfield determine, and 80 declare to Vice President Arthur, that there were important powers and duties to be exer- cised and performed at the present time, and | same, that the exercise of such powers and the performance of such duties would immedi- ately devolve on Vice President Arthur, and not the office of President. The Vice President would not be permitted to exercise a discretion as to whether he would or would not discharge that duty, because It is im- posed upon him by the constitution. discharge of this constitutional duty, he would do so as Vice President only. Any other con- clusion would render nugatory the words ‘or inability to discharge the powers and duties of said office,’ contained in the paragraph of the constitution referred to.” Slar.—* Judge, it is thought by some that in the absence of any provision being made by Congress, there is no means of determining the inability of the President to perform the powers and duties ofphis office.” Judge W.—* tn the present case that is a mis- take. Ifthe President is inthe enjoyment of his mental faculties, as we are given to under- stand he is, there perhaps couid be no better authority of determining that question than himself; and that question determined, the duty of the Vice President is plain.” Star.—* But suppose the President was men- tally incapacitated to determine that question; who else could do so? Could the Cabinet or other public officer?” Judge W.—“1 think not. It would bea dangerous doctrine to maintain that any person or body of persons, not specially authorized by Congress, should be allowed to do so. In my humble opinion the Cabinet, nor any member thereof, nor the Vice President himself, has any more authority to determine that question than the humblest citizen in the land. In the event of such a misfortune, as indicated by your inguiry, the country would be left in the same condition it would be if both President Garfield and Vice President Arthur were now dead. Congress doubtless possesses the power to provide, by ap- propriate legislation, to meet sych an_emer- gency, under the provisions of paragraph eigh- teen, of article one, of the constitution; which authorizes that body to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution all powers vested by the constitution, in the government, ‘or in any department or officer thereof,’ but Congress has not as yet performed the very important duty of exercising that power.” Star.—“Cannot the President call to his assistance the Vice President and authorize him to act in his name?” Judge W.—Not at all, the powers and duties of the President are vested in him by the con- stitution, and he cannot delegate them to any one. He must either exercise them himeelf, or they must be performed by the person designated by the constitution. which in the present case would be the Vice President.” ©& an Aaroit Robbery.
