President Arthur has called the Senate to meet in extra ober 10th. hossion OctSenator Bruce and family are the guests of Dr. J. T. Wilsou and wife, of Cleveland, the parents of Mrs. Bruce. Guiteau's trial will occur at an early date. There is no doubt that the scoundrel will be disposed of with neatness and dispatch. A colored man in -North Carolina, who was a slave previous to the war, is now the owner cf a 1,200 acre plantation, and has over twenty tenants. Never in the history of the world has there been such unusual sorrow for the death of one man as that manifested for the death of President Garfield. The Topeka Tribune has corners, politically speaking, shed its Bepublicanism, and changed It has is now the onran of the National Greenback party. It will issue a daily edition, and promises to be red hot. Success to you, Brother White; may you get more greenbacks. There was much bitter complaint among the colored people of Cleve land at the failure of Mayor Ilerrick to appoint colored men on any of the reception committees, or to assi them any place in the funeral process ion. ine lUavor claims that it was purely an oversight on his part. Hon. speech Frederick Douirlass, in his at the Gai field memorial meeting 'ton, said that President Garfield stated to him that he intended to take no step backward but forward in the appointment of I coiorea men to omce. it was his in 1 1 k T . tention to send colored men abroad as representatives to white as well as Negro Governments. He offered Mr. Douglass a foreign mission, but it was declined. There is no boubt that President Arthur will follow the same policy of giving the Negro ele ment in the party a more extensive recognition than it has heretofore had. Th Laut Rites. Amid the sorrowing tears of not only a breaved family and Nation, but of the whole civilized world, the mortal remains of our second mar tyred President were laid at restMonday, in Cleveland. The day was ob served throughout the country as a holiday, and the whole nation put on the babiliments of mourning and 801TOW. In many foreign countries, especially England and Canada, the day was very generally observed with marked respect to the memory of our dead President. There was a vast concourse of people in Cleveland to witness the sad ceremonies, and many of the larger cities had fuiieral processions of their own. Such universa! sorrow was never paid to the memory of any distinguished dead as has been given to President Garfield, This shows the deep hold ho had upon the affections of his people. His memory will be revered and honored to tho end of time. It may be fitly said of him that: "Hit life wai gentle; and the elements So mixed in hitn that Nature might stand np And say to all the world, "This ws a man.' " ihk kw president. By one of tho saddest occurrences in the history of the Republic, the responsibilities of tho Chief Executive of the Nation .have devolved upon General Chester A. Arthur, of New York, and the land contains to day no sadder heart than his who, in consequence of these unhappy circumstances, has become President of the United States. The country may well feel thankful that tbo mantle of tho Executive has fallen upon the shoulders of one who possesses such eminent qualities of head and heart.

J President Lincoln, and so .now,

thanks to the patriotism of the people and the genius of our institutions, we can reiterate the pregnaut sentence. In the midst of the gloom that clouds every brow and the sorrow that saddens ever heart, we have no inclination to speculate n w as to the policy which President Arthur will pursue. The record of his life is an ample guarantee that neither the Government nor the principles of the grand old party which he helped to found, and which he has ever defended, will be permitted to suiTer detriment That the colored people have in General Arthur a devoted friend, no one who knows him and the life he has lived will for a moment doubt. In darker days when it required great sacrifices and the highest sort of courage to befriend the colored people, Chester A. Arthur publicly espoused the cause of the oppressed, and rendered services which will never be forgotten. The following, which wo clip from the Cincinnati Commercial, shows that General Ar thur has not onlv been a life-Ionr friend of the Negro, but that his services are deserving of lasting gratitude: "M r.Arthur,as ajawyer, struck success in the start." Almost his first important lawsuit won him national fame. It was the now celebrated Lemmon Fugitive Slave case. In 1852, when Ir. Arthur was only twentytwo years old, Jonathan and Juliet Lemmon, Virginia slave holders, attempted to pass through New York City with eight slaves, on their way to Texas. They were obliged 1) wait the sailing of a ship, and thus remained in New York several days. While they waited their slaves were discovered and set free, being in a free State. Judge Fainc decided that under the Fugitive Slave Law, the Lcmmons could not hold their human chattels in New York. The case was appealed, the Virginia Le "lslflt II ! n lit hnn vi rwe t lw. A 1 . uenerui oi mat, maie 10 assist me owners. Wm. 31. Kvarts and Chester A. Arthur were associated as counsel for the blacks, and the State of New York. Charles O'Conner, the famous 1 fili . 'A . I . . . . criminal lawyer, was attorney for the Slave-owners. Arthur aud Jivarts won the case triumphantly, and as has been said, "a long step was taken toward the emancipation of the black race." Four years afterward Mr. Arthur had the honor again to become the champion of the rights of the Negro. It can scarcely be comprehended in our time that so lato as 185G Negroes were not allowed to ride in street cars with white people. Such, however, was the fact. In 18."G a respectable colored woman, Lizzie Jennings, was roughly pushed off a Fourth avenue car in New York. She had paid her fare, and had sat quietly, conducting herself in a ladylike manner. But she was iruiltyof having a black skiu. That could not be tolerated, and she- was thrust out of the public conveyance by violence. 3h .arumr urougni sun airainsi mo company for her and got ."00 damages. The day following the verdict, the company issued an order that colored t A l 1 t .1 . ' . . I people should bo allowed to ride in all their cars. The other car companies speedily issued like orders, and thus another question as to the civil rights of tho Ne-ro was settled. Mr. Arthur, in his legal capacity, has always been the trienuof the colored people. WASHINGTON LKTtKIC. An Interview With Senator Mahone-Tlie ftearijusters Will Win In Virginia Fu nereal Obsequies and Memorial Meetings at the Capitol In company with the Hon. J. M. Langston, Minister to Ilayti, and Hon. J. Ambler Smith, cx-Corgress-man from the Petersburg, Va., District, I had the pleasure of calling on General Mahone at tho Arlington the other day. We were very cordially received by the great Beadjuster and his friend, General J. I). Brady, Chairman of the Reatljuster State Central Committee. General Mahone is a typical South ern gentleman of the old school, in appearance. Any one who has lived or traveled in the South would .it once recognize him as a Southerner. His spare form and long beard and style of dress give him the appear ance of being taller than he really is. He wore a long black "Jim Slin"er coat ot elegant material An absent vest displayed a beautiful shirtbosom faultlessly done up, encircled by a heavy gold chain attached to an elegant gold watch, in the watch fob Of his tight-legged .breeches, which wrinkled a little about the ankle. being too small to extend over the handsome shoes which adorned a ratner pretty loot. When he talks tne General often puts his bands in his Dockets, which, wi us pockets, which, with coat unbut toned and vest absent, gives him I - - the appearance of the proverbial Southerner. The General is very af fable and an easy and agreeable conversationalist, and at once make his visitors at home. After intro ductory preliminaries the eon vfrsAtion became general, the Nation's great sorrow engrossing most of it. General Mahone felt deeply the great bereavement and came to Washing ton for the purpose of beim? present at the obseouies. W hen General Brady attempted to give General Mahone a little sketch of Mr. Langston, the General interrupted him and said he knew Mr. Langston's history well, and desired him as a Virginian to come to his old home and talk to the people regard-

ing the present campaign. Mr. Langston heartily endorsed the Readjuster movement, and readily acceded to General Mahone's request to take part in the campaign. Arrangements were accordingly made for him to speak at Bichmond to-night (Wednenday), and Portsmouth on Thursday. "You are a favorite with our people, Mr. Langston," sAid General Brady, "and we will give you monster meetings." Our interview with GeneralMahone was very "agreeable indeed, and much was said that would be of interest had I time to give it in detail. Of this be assured, we left the Arlington most zealous admirers of the distinguished Virginian, and moro devoted adherents of his cause. I remarked to General Mahone on leaving that I was down in the vicinity of Petersburg on the 30th of July, 18C4. (It will be remembered that General Mahone commanded the rebel troops on that fatal day ) Ho looked up at me in surprise, and said: "Well, sir, I am surprised to see you here; it is a miracle that either of us is here. Oh, that was a fearful day. Or that blcody field the men of your race displayed a coolness and a bravery which won the admiration of myself and the brave men of the Confederate array who grappled with you in leadly conflict. We fought you desperately," he continued; "we had to do it We shot at every man we saw with a gun in his hand,l)ut never did I fire or permit any one under me to fire on an unarmed foe Wc are fighting on the same side now," he laughingly said, "and I am' heartily glad of it. I am firing on those pigbeaded Bourbons now, and I shall continue the fire as long as I see one with a gun in his hand." In response to an inquiry General Mahone said; "We shall carry the State by an overwhelming majority. Ninety-nine percent, of the colored peoplo are with us, and the entire right-minded liberal element among

the whites, we intend that every man regardless of race, color or Nationality shall have an equal chance in the race of life in Virginia A free election, a fair count and an honest fulfillment of al pledges constitute the trinity of our political faith. There can be no doubt that Genera Mahone is terribly in earnest and con fidcutof victory, and my brief inter view only strengthened my convic tion that the cordial support the reader has given this movement from the beginning, is in the right line, aud tor the best interests not only of tho colored people of Vir ginia but of the entire South. I shall attempt no account of the sad events oi last week in Washing i rni j-i i ion. xne aauy papers nave given you all with tho utmost particularity. It nas been my sad fortune to see the Capital of the Nation twice draped ? i 1 r in mourning ior assassinated irresi dents. Soon after President Lincoln was assassinated I came to XT ton from the front with some rebel ; ? . i . . it prisoners in enarge, ana l cau never forget tho feeling of sadness that fil'cd my heart when I first beheld the draped columns and walls of the Capitol and other public build ings oi vasnington. iou can im agine how vividly these feelings were recalled as I stood in the great rotunda under the dome of the Cap uoi anu looi'eu upon tne sad, worn ard wasted face of General Gartietd. Could the beastly assassin have looked upon that poor face, it must have been of itself a terrible punisl 1 ment. Let us hope that ths Nation may never again be subjected to such a terrible calamity. vppropnaie memorial services were held Mondav in all the churches. The exercises at the First Coiiirrera- .... no uonai Church at z p. m., were rery interesting. Among the distinguished officials and others who addressed the meeting, was the Hon. J. M. Lang ston. Minister to Hayti, who spoke eloquently ot General Garfield s life and. services. In tho evening the colored people held a memorial meeting at the 15th street Presbyterian Church, Ecv. vrrimK pastor. The Uhurcü was densely packed, every inch of standing room being monopolized and numbers being unable to gain ad mission. The meeting was called to order by Wm. E. Matthews, Esq., who in a short but very appropriate address stated the real object of tho meeting. After paying a glowing tribute to General Garfield ho called Frederick Douglass to., the chair. A long list4ot Vice Presidents and Secretaries was then announced, among whom were many distin guished persons. Eloquent addresses were delivered by Hon. Frederick Doujrlass. Hon. J. M. Langston. Prof H. T. G reener and Dr. Hicks. The Even ing Star thus closes an account of the meeting: "Mr, Jiouglass opened with a brief and eloquent eulogy of the late President. Prof. B. T. Greener offered a series of resolutions expressing the sentiment of the colored people of the District, respecting the death of the President, and their deep sympathy for the afllicted family. Prof. Greener, in presenting the reresolutions, spoke at some length. Ho was followed by Hon. John M. Langston, who gave many interesting personal reminiscences of General Garfield, illustrating his integrity and his devotion to the cause of freedom. The last speaker was Ilev. Dr. Hicks, of the South Washington tabernacle, who prophecied a continuance ot dark deeds until the country should b.-u o an executive who dared assert the national supremacy in every tart ot the land. All ol tho speakers expressed confidenco in President Arthur. Mr. Langston spoke especially of his services- to tho colored people, as a lawyer, in New York, in anti-war times. The resolutions having been adopted, tho meeting was dismissed with benediction by Dr. Bankin. Bert.

AT REST.

Forgetful of His Illustrious Name, He Sleeps Well. The Late Chieftain Laid at Rest iu the City of the Dead, While Three Hundred Millions of People Mourn Beside His Silent Bier. The last sad rites were paid on Monday to the remains of our deceased President at Cleveland. From the description gathered from our dispatcnes, we suppose that the grandest funeral pageant that the Continent ever witnessed accompanied the dead President to his final resting place. All w as admirably arranged, and the cold body of James A. Garfield was consigned to the tomb amid the fears and sorrowings oi hundreds of thousands of thos who loved and admired htm. Ashes to ashes and dust to dust; his soul with its Maker, his life and career with posterity. An unborn historian will assign him his tru ? position in American annals. This generation is unfitted for the task. FOK Tllti LAST TIMK. The Remains) of the Late President Removed From the Capitol flie Services aud Floral Tributes. JEv YORK, Sept. 23. The Post's Washington special says: "The arrangements for the depart ure of the funeral train are completed. The mili tary and civic demonstration will be Imposing The ceremonies are to begin precisely at 8 o'clock, and the funeral train will leave the Baltimore and Potomac depot at 5. Special arrangements have been made so that Mrs. Garfield can attend the ceremonies with as much privacy as possible. She will enter the rotunda from the home eud through a door, which has been set apart for her, and Immediately after the services the will leave the Capitol in the same way, and will be driven to the depot In advance of the funeral procession. The family of the President will probably be represen ted in the profession by Ilarry GarMeld. General Swaim and Colonel liock well. The train will go in three sections. The first will be the funeral car proper and the cars, containing Mrs. Garfield, the relatives and the Cabinet. The second will contain the Senators, and the third the Representatives. Ample preparations will be made to inform the public of the progress of the train. The representatives of the Associated Press will be permitted to accompany a section of the funeral train occupied by the Representatives. No other representatives of the press will accompany the train, but the Balti more and Ohio Railroad has tendered the press a special train, which will leave Washington at S o'clock this evening and arrive in Cleveland two or three hours in advance of the funeral." The Lant Look. At twenty minutes past 11 o'clock two closed carnages drove up to the east corner entrance of the Senate wing, and the occupants alighted and passed up the private stairway to the Vice Presi aeni s room, ah corridors ana passage ways upon the main lloor of the Senate wing were quickly barred to all comers, and instructions were given by Sergeant-at-arms Bright, of the Senate, to employes and the Capitol police on duty, to keep themselves completely hidden In the recedes of the doors and windows while Mrs. Garfield passed through to the rotunda. The rotunda itself wan entirely cleared, the guard of honor retiring from view for the time being. In a few minutes the little procession emereed from the Vice President's room and passing around the corridor proceeded through the silent and deserted main passage way of the building, Sergeant-at Arms Bright leading. Then followed Mrs. Garfield leaning upon the arm of General Swaim ; Ilarry Garfield, Mollie Garfield and Miss Rockwell, Colonel and Mrs. Fockwell and Attorney General 3iac eagn ana a. rs. bwaim. isot a souua was heard, save the foot-steps urxm the marble floors. as the little company, robed in sombre garments ot deepest mourning, passed solemnly and silentlv on to mingle their tears and pay the last earthly trioute over tne casitet wnicn sealed irom view the form and features Of the dearly loved husband, father and friend. After remaining about twenty minutes in the rotunda they returned quietly, and with the same privacy that marked their entrance, and passing through to the Senate wing entered the carriages and returned to the residence of the Attorney General. The Mourning Family At 2:55 President Arthur, leaning upon the arm ot Secretary Blaine, entered the rotunda from the Senate side of the Capitol. Immediately after followed ex-rTesidents Grant ana Hayes, secretary and Mrs. Windom, Secretary and Mrs. Lincoin, secretary and Mrs. Hunt, Attorney General ana 3irs. .Maoe&gn, secretary Kirkwood and Postmaste rGeneral James. Mrs. Garfieid and the immediate family were not present at the cere monies, home little confusion in seating the diplomatic corps, the representatives of the Army and Navy and Senators ana members of the House of Representatives was occasioned by an oversight on the part of some one in charge of the arrangements in not reserving a sufficient number of seats for tfcem. Many persons eluded ine doorkeepers and gained admission to the ro tunda while many who held tickets were unable to find seats. At 3 o'clock every seat was filled and au available standing room occupied. The Services. The services were opened by Rev. Dr. Power promptly at 3 p.m. He ascended the dais and briefly announced the opening hymn ''Asleep Ir Jesus. Blessed Sleep," which was rendered by chorns of fifty voices. REV. F. D. POWER, of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church. which President Garfield was a member, delivered a ieeung aaaress. lie sooke in a clear voice, and was distinctly heard in every portion of the hal). He said: "The cloud so long pending over the Nation has at last burst upon our heads. We sit half-crushed amid the ruin it has wrought. A million million prayers and hopes and tears, as far aa human wisdom sees, were vain. Our loved one has passed from us, but there is relief. We look away from the body, we forego for a time the things that are seen. We remember with joy his faith in the Son of God, Whose Gospel he sometimes himself preached, and which he always truly loved, and we see a light and blue sky through the cloud structure, and beauty Instead of ruin. Glory, honor, immortality, spiritual and eternal life in place of decay and death. The chief glory of this man. as we think of him now. was his disci nipship in the school of Christ. Ills attainments as a scholar and statesman will be the the theme of our orators and historians, and thev must be worthy men to speak his praise worthilv. but it is as Christians that we love to think of him now. 1 1 was this which made his life to man an in vain. able boon, his death to us an unspeakable loss, his eteraity to himself an inheritance Incorruptible undefiled and that fadeth not away. He was no sectarian. His religion was as broad as the religion of Christ. He was a simple Christian. bound by no sectarian ties, and whoilv In fellow. shin with all pure spirits. He was a Christologist rather than a theologist. He had great reverence ior taruuy ana reiauous, and his example as a son, husband and father, is a glorv to this Nation, lie had a most kindly nature. Ills power over human nearts was deep and strong. He won men to him; ne had no enemies. The hand that struck him was not the hand -of his enemy, but the band of the enemy of the position, the enemy of the country, the enemy of tod. He sought to do right, manward and Godward. He was a erander man than we knew. He wrought even in his pain a better work for the Nation than we can now estimate. He fell at the height of his achievements, not from any lault of his, but we may in some sense reverently apply to him words spoken of his dear Lord: "He was wounded for our transgressions: he was braised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon." As the Nations remember the Macedonian ; as Alexander the Great and the Grecians, as Aristides the Just, may not this son of America be known as "Garfield the Good?" Our President rests. He had joy in the glory of work, as he loved to talk of the leisure that did not come to him. Now he has it. This is the clay Srecious because of the service it rendered. He i freed: the spirit is absent from the body; he is present with the Lord on highest, whence came his help. He finds repose. What rest has been his for these four day? The brve spirit, which cried in its body "I am tired." U where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest. The patient soul, which groaned under the burden of suffering llesh, "Oh, this pain," is now in a world without pain. Spring comes; flowers bloom; buds put forth; birds sing; autumn ro!ls 'round; the birds have long since hushed their voices; flowers faded ana fallen forest foliage assumed a sickly hue, and so earthly things pass .way and what. Is true remains with God. The

pageant moves; splendor of arms and banners glitter in the sunlight; music of instruments and of oratory swells upon the air; cheers and praises of men resound, but spring and summer pass by and autumn sees a Nation of sad eyes and heavy hearts, and what is true remains of God. The eternal God is our refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms." The prayer of Rev. Mr. Butler brought the ceremonies to a close, and the vast assemblage, with bowed heads and reverent mien, rose and remained standing as the coffin containing the re mains of President Garfield was slowly borne from the building in which he had gained so many laurels and triumphs. The coffin was followed by President Arthur leaning on the ana of Secretary Blaine, and by members of the Cabinet and the other distinguished persons, and in a quarter of an hour the rotunda was nearly deserted. During the progress of the ceremonies the appearance of the rotunda was solemn and impressive. The chairs, ol which there were 1,300 in the hall, were all occupied, while many persons remained standing In the aisles. The glitter of the uniforim of the Army and Navy and Court uniforms of representatives of diplomatic corps served but to mike even more impressive the solemnity of the scene. The Russian minister was unable to atteud on account of illness. He was represented by the Secretary of the Russian legation. The Army was represented by Generals Sherman, Hancock, and Sheridan and l'2-i officers; the Navy by Rear Admiral E. 8. Nichols and fifty officers, and the marine corps by Colonel C. G. McCauley and sixty officers. Immediately after the close of the services the floral decorations were all removed, Mrs. Garfield having requested that they le sent to her home at Mentor. except the beautiful wreath, the gift of Queen Victoria, which had been placed upon the head of the coffin when the lid was closed, and which remained there when the lid of the collin was borne to the hearse, and will be upon it uu'il the remains are buritd. This touching tribute of Queen Victoria greatly moved Mrs. Garfield The coffin was borne to the hoarse, which was in waiting at the foot of the main steps and the east front, and was raised to its place by the six pall bearers selected by Mrs. Garfield from members of the Christian Church; while this was being done tne immense multitude, which filled the entire space in front of the Capitol and overllowed into the adjacent streets, reverently uncovered their heads and preserved unbroken quiet. The officiating clergymen followed Immediately the coffin. The array and navy officers, composing the body-guard, riled out the eat door and took their places about the hearse, thearmyupon the right and the navy upon the left. A single gun was fired from Haunäwan's battery, The Process iou. The .Second Artillery Band played the funeral march and the procession moved in the following order around the south front of the Capitol to the avenue: Two battalions of the District of Columbia Militia. Ten Com Dailies. Two Companies United States Marines. Four Companies United States Second Artillery, light Battery. . Company A United States Artillery. Grand Army of the Republic, Roscoe Conkling Club. Boys in Blue. Columbia, Washtngtou and De Molay Commanderies, Kuights Templar, of this city, in full regalia. Beausant Commandery, Knights Templar, Baltimore. Then came the hearse drawn by six iron grey horses, each led by a colored groom. Following the hearse, about 100 carriages, occupied by officers of the Executive Mansion and their wives, relatives of the late President. ex-Presidents Grant and Haves, President Arthur and Secretary Blaine, other Cabinet Ministers and their wives, Diplomatic Corps, Chief Justice Waite ana Associate Justices Harlan, Matthews and Miller, Senators. Memters of the House, Governors of the Seat es and Territories and Commissioner of the District of Columbia, Judges of the Court of Claims, judiciary of the District of Columbia and Judges of United States Courts, Assistant Secretaries of State, Treasury and Interior Deputiets Assistant Postmaster General, Solicitor General and Assistant Attorney Gcueral. As the procession moved minute guns were fired from the military posts and forts surrounding the city, and Church bells tol ed. At least 40,000 people were gathered about the Capitol to witness the start of the procession, while along the line of march to Sixth street the crowd was even greater than on the 4th of March. Everywhere it was most orderly and quiet, and as the hearse containing the remains moved along the avenue, from the very door of the Capitol to the entrance of the depot all heads were uncovered. On reachiug the depot the military were drawn up In line upon the opposite side of the street facing the Sixth street entrance. Theremains were borne from the heane upon the shoulders of six soldiers of the Second Artillery and placed in the funeral car. Tea officers from the Army and Navy, selected as the guard of honor, stood with uncovered heaas as the remains were taken from the hearse, and then escorted them to the car. The diplomatic corpse and others who were not going upon either of ine trains did not alight from their carriages. President Arthur entered the depot with Secretary Blaine. and after a few minutes entered the Secretary's carriage, and with ex-President Grant, was driven up to his temporary home, at the residence of Senator Jones, of Nevada. To avoid the crowd about the depot, Mrs. Garfield was taken to the corner of Main avenue and Sixth street and the engine and two cars, including the one intended for her use, were run down the track and she was taken on board without attracting any attention.

Along: the Route. Washington, Sept 23. The funeral train left Washington at 5:15 p.m.: passed Benning's at 5:35. Wilson's at 5:4 , and Seabrook at 5:4. The train entered the Union Depot at Baltimore at 6:34, where the engine was changed, and at 6:44 the journey was resumed.

TBE CEREMONIES. A Half Million of People Pay Their Last Respects to the Dead President The Ser vices at the Pavilion and the March to the Cemetery. Cleveland, Sept. 26. Promptly at 10:30 o'clock the ceremonies at the pavilion began. The im mediate members of the family and near rela tives and friends took seats about the casket, and at each corner was stationed a member of the Cleveland Greys, each of whom stood like a statue during the entire programme. The Com' mittees and others about the pavilion were al most cloaked in crape, their drapings being ven lieavy. Dr. J. P. Robinson, President of the cere monies, announced that the exercises would be opened by the singing by the Cleveland Vocal So eiety of the funeral hymn, by Beethoven, where upon the hymn was sung as follows: "Thou art gone to the grave, but we will not de plore thee. Though sorrow and sadness encompass the tomb; The Savior nath passed thro' its portals before thee, And the lamp of His love is thy guide thro' the gloom" Rishop Redell. The following Scriptures were then read by Right Rev. Bishop Bedell, of the Episcopal Dio cese of Ohio: "Man that is born ot woman is of few days and full of trouble. "He coraeth lorth like a flower aud is cut down. "He fleeth also as a shadow ana continueth not. "Lord, Thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. "Before the mountains were brought forth, or even Thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting. Thou art God. Thou turnest man to destruction and Fay, Return ye children of men. "For a thousand years in Thy sight are but as yesterday, when it has passed, and as a watch in the night. "But now is Christ risen from thj dead and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death by man came also the, resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order; Christ the first fruits: afterward they that are Christ's at the coming. Then cometh the end. "When he shall have delivered up the Kingdom to God, even the father; Who shall put down all rule, and all authority and power. For he must reign till he hath put all enemies under his feet, the last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. But some man will say, How are the dead raised up. and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened ex cept it die, and that which thou sowest thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain. It may chance of wheat or of some other grain, but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased Him, and to every seed his own body. mere are also celestial bodies, and bodies ter restrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. "Here is one glory of the sun. and another glorv of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star dUiereth from another star in

glory. So also Is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption ; it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it Is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual lody ; and as we have borne tne image ol the earthly, we shall also bear the image of the Heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that the flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of good, neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold I show yon, the Master. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be charged in a moment in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump, for the trump shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorrupitil-le, and we shall be changed, for this corruptible must put on incorrupti m, and this mortal must put on immortality, so when this corruptible shall putonincorrupti ii and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the same that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory. "O, death, where Is thy sting? O, grive, where is thy victory ? The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." "I heard a voice from Heaven saying unto me: Write, blessed are the dead which d'ie in the Iord from thenceforth. Even so saith the Spirit, that they must rest from their labors."

AT THE CEMETERY. The Arrival of the Cortege at the Cemetery The Services and Final Disposition of the Dead Chief. Cleveland, Sept. 2J. The State militia were stationed at the entrance of the cemetery, and ou either side of the driveways leading to the vault where, at Mrs. Gaifield'S request, it was decided to place the remains. The steps to tte vault were carpeud with flowers, and on either side of the eutrance were an author of tube roses and a cross of white smilax, and evergreen were bestowed above. A heavy black cam py was Btretched over the stairs from, which the exercises were to be conducted. At 3:30 o'clock the prcx-esslon entered the gateway, which was arched over with black, with appropriate inscriptions. In the keystone were the words: "Come to Rest." On one side were the words: "Lay him to rest, whom we have learned to love." On the other. "Lay him to rest, whom we have learned to trust." A massive cross of evergreens hui-g from the center of the arch. The United States Marine Band, continuirg the sweet, mournful strains it had kept up during the entire march, entered first, then the Forest City Troop of Cleveland, whici was the escort of the President to his inauguration. Behind it came the funeral car with its escort of twelve Ui.ited states artillerymen followed by a battalion of Knights Templar and the Cleveland Greys The mourner's carriages and those containing the guara of honor comprised all of the procession that entered the grounds. The cavalry haltet at the vault and drew up in line facing wi'h sabe-s presented. The car drew up in front with the mourners carriages and those of the Cabinet behind.- The band played "Nearer, my God, to Thte." as the military escort lifted the coflin from the car and carried it into the vault, the local Committee of Reception Secretary Blaine, Marshall Henny and one or two personal friends standing ut cither side of the entrance. None of iTesident's family, except two of the boys, left the carriages during the exercises, which occupied less than half an hour. Dr. J. P. Robinson, as President of the Day, opened the exercises by introducing Rev. J. H. Jones, Chaplain of the Forty second Regiment, O. V.l., which General Garfield commanded, as follows: "Kev. J. H.Jones, the Chaplain of the Forty-second Regiment, who went out with General Garfield, will offer some remarks." Mr. Jones said: "Our illustrious friend has completed his journey's end. A journey that we must all soon make, and that iu that near future. Yet, when I see the grand surroundings of this occasion, I am led to inquire was this man the son of the Emperor? of the King thai wore a crown? For in the history of this great country, there has been nothing like this seen by the people and perhaps no other country. Yet. I thought perhaps, sneaking after the manner of men, that he was a prince and this was ottered in a manner after royalty. He was not. my friends. It is not an offering of a king it is not as we are taught, an offering to earthly kings and emperors, though he was a prince and a freeman, the great commander of the United States. Only a few miles from where we stand, less than fifty years ago, he was born in the primeval forests of this State and in this country, and all he asks of yon now is a peaceful grave in the bosom of the land that gave him birth. I can not speak to you of his wonderful life and his work. Time forbids and history will take care of ' that, and your children's children wili read of this emotion when we have passed awav from this earth. And let me say, when I wks permitted with these honorable me i to go to Pitb-burg as a Committee to receive his mortal remains, I saw from that city to Lleve.and hundieds and thousands of people, and many of them s in tears. This reflection came to me that there was ad arthof the lands, the soil for 500 miles was moistened with tears. As we passed from the city of Washir.gtou to Cleveland, I asked myself the meaning of all this; for I saw the working men come out of the rolling mills. with dust and smoke all over their faces, their heads uncovered, with tears rolling down their brawny - 1 11-1. l 1 -1. i , . . , . .... . . . cueeiks. i un oaiea nreain l asKea, nat is the meaning oi an mis? Because it casts down a working man. lie was a working man himself, for he has been a worker from his birth almost. lie has iought his way through life at every step and the working man he took by the hand, and there were sympathy and brotherhood between them. I saw in small cottages as ;well as the splenuid mansions, draping on the shut ters, and it may have been the onlj veil which the poor woman lud. and. with tears In her eves. she saw us pass. 1 asked, Why, what Interest has mis poor woman in this man? She had read that he was born in a cabin, . and that when he got old enough to 'work in the beech woods, he helped to support his widowea motner. inen l saw tne processions aDd tne cauers pour out me local profession and civic societies and military, all concentrated here, and he has touched them all in his passage thus far through life, and you feel that he is a brother He is therefore a brother to von in all these regards, but when a man dies his work usually follows him. When we sent General Garfield to the Capital at Washington he weighed 210 pounds. He had a soul that loved his race, a splendid intellect, that almost bent the largest form to bear it. You bring him back to us a handful ol some eighty pounds, mortal of bones, in that casket. Now, I ask, why is this? I do not stop to talk about the man that did the deed. " engeance is mine. saith the Almighty God. I will repay him." He sees tne vision of a scanold before him probably. ana tne eternal aisgrace oi tne muraerer ana as sassin, and he is going down to the judgment of goo ana me irowns oi me world, out where Is James A. Garfield, that we sent to you seven months ago? Many of you were there at the time of his inauguration, and wit nessed the grandest pageant that ever passed in front of the Capitol, and the grandest that was ever had in this Nation was nad on that occasion. and now comes this unwelcome, yet splendid exmomon mat win ne reaa oi ail over the world with regret, for Secretary Blaine, in a busines like manner to-day, made out that there were at least 300,000,000 people of the world mourn Ing the death of President Garfield and ofTerins sympathy Where is he? Here is all that is left of him, the grand, the bright ana brilliant man. Now that soul that loved, that mind that thought, that has impressed itself upon the world, must come back, for if thoughts believe that precious tnougnt cease to be dead In reason he speaks, in example he lives. His thoughts and mighty deeds still flourish. In the structure we shall get him back, fellow-citizens. "In conversation with one of the nearett and dearest to him she said when she thought of his relations as a husband and as a son. and states man, having reached the highest pinnacle to which maa can be elevated by the free suffrage of over 50.000.000 teopie, mere was no promo tion left for her beloved, but for GoJ to call him higher. He has received that promotion. He believed in the immortality not only of the soul but of the body, and that the grave will give up the dead. He must live, anu, my mends, that was tne nope that sus talned him. It was with him in the War. and the enemy never saw his back. They never looked upon nis back, lie was lortunate in that, in everv contest he was on the victorious side but the grandest fight he ever made was the last eighty days of his existence. Fought not because he himself personally expected to live, but the doctors told him to hope. lie loved his wife and children and be hojed. "I am not alraid to ate, diu l win try," said he. "to live," and then he was not conquered eveu, except by simple exhaus tion, it seems to me tnat no good man by the name of Abraham cau be the President of the United States, andean be long out of Abraham's bosom, for both of them have been called. and early, too, to the paradise of God, and his spirit looks down upon us to-dav. and he is in the society of Washington and Lin coln and the immortal Losts of patriots that stood for their country. Let me say in conclusion. mere was a man in an ancient Biblic history that killed more in his aeath thau he did in his life, and I believe that to be true with James Abram Gartield. I doubt whether there is a page that equals this in sympathy and in love. not only In this country but all over the world. Have you ever lead anything like this? You brethren hereof the Sou it. I greet you to-day; and you brethren of the North, East and West, come let us lay all our bitternesses upon the coffin of the dead man. I-et mm carry them witn him to the grave in silence till the angels disturb the slumbers cf the dead. Iet us love each other more, our country better. May God bless you and the dear family, aud as they constitute a great family on earth. I hope they will constitute a great family in the King dom, and where I hope to meet you all in the end. Amen." The Latin ode from Horace was then sung bv the United Gennau Ringing Society. Mr. Robbon then announced the late ITesi dent's favorite hymu. "Ho, reapers of life's harvest," which the German vocal societies of Cleveland saug with marked effect. The Exerclaes Closed. The exercises closed with the benediction by President Hinsdale of Hiram College, who was intrtMluced by Dr. Kobison as follows: Friends aud lellow-cituens from the heart broken friend of the deceased, I tender you these thanks. Mr. Hinsdale, will you dismiss them? Mr. Hinsdale said: "Oh. God! the sad experi

ence of this day teaches us the truth of wht Thou has told us in Thy word. The grave U the last of this world and the end of life earth to earth, dust to dust and ashes to ashes. But we love the doctrine of the immertality of the soul and In the power of the endless life: therefore, oh, God. our Father, we look to Thee now for Thy greatest blessing. We pray that the fellowship, and the salvation of the Ixrd Jesus Christ, our Saviour, and the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, the comforter, may be with all who have ten in to-day's great assembly. Amen." The Return. Re-entering their carriages, the mourners drove hurriedly back to the city to avoid another shower, which was threatening. The military and Masonic escort left the cemetery in the same order in which they entered it, and kept in line until the catafalque was reached, where they were dismissed. General smith, the Ad j a tan t General of the State, will furnish a guard as long as the body remains in the vault. The sexton thinks it will be but a few davs until the final interment takes Place. Mrs. Garfield, while at the cemetery yesterday afternoon, said she did not think there was sufficient time to prepare the grave for Interment, and the casket was, therefore, placed in a vault. At the cemetery, at 6 o'clock this morning, there were 5,ouo people in the grounds. At 10 o'clock ihe Fourteenth Ohio National Guard, 500 in number, arrived and cleared the grounds of all strangers, aud no on was allowed to enter until the funeral party arrived. In the Vault. At the vault there were D Company ol the Fourteenth Ohio N. G., cutting cedars, and a number of ladies engaged in trimming the dais and draping the vault with deep black crape. The dais used to lay the coffin on in the vault is covered with velvet, trimmed with black broadcloth and deep black fringe. At the head ot the vault. in the background, right over the head of the coffin hangs a large floral wreath sent by the ladies of Dubuque. Ia.. to Mrs. Garfield. The pathway from the carriage way, where the cortege stopped, into the vault, was covered with ceader laid down and neatly sewed together. On top of this was scat tered white flowers, immortelles, tuberoses etc Right in front of the gate at the entrance to the vault was spread large pieces of carpet, covered with tuberoses and other white flowers. This is covered over with a canopy of deep black broadcloth. Just outside the vault at the gate there was a cross of elegant white flowers placed, with the motto: "Dead but not forgotten." It was from the Bolivian delegation. Viewing; the Deserted Bier. After the procession had departed toward the cemetery this afternoon an order was riven the guards to admit all who desired into the pavilion. A line was promptly formed, similar to the endless one of Sunday, and thousands passed through the building, casting a lingering glance at the deserted bier. The scene was one of the most impressive of the entire day, and demonstrated to a great degree the universal feeling of love and sympathy for the eminent departed. Despite the rainfall which occurred between 3 and 4 o'clock, the people filed in unprotected. Not less than 30,000 souls paid this unusual tribute to the memory of the dead President Ex-Secretary Evarts was among the distinguished guests at the catafalque, accompanying ex-lTcsidcut and Mrs. Hayes. The Final Interment. ('I.EVKLAKII, Sept. 26. At Mrs. Garfield's suggestion the casket containing the late President will be enclosed in an iron cage: then a cement wall will 1e built arounl this of sufficient strength to resist all attempts to remove the body, and of dimensions enough to form the foundation for the proposed monument. The Mayor of the city has detailed a police force, to oe on duty continually until the final interment An Enormous Crowd. It is estimated that 250.000 were on the street to-day, and that from 100,000 to 150,000 of these were strengers. Some of the adjacent towns were almost depopulated.

Mr. Joseph Nimmo, Chief of Bureau of Statistics, furnishes the following figures in regard to the exports of breadstuff's for August, and other dates named: Articles. Quantity. Value.

We give the difference in values, as follows: Exports for August, 1880 f 31.734,860 Exports for August, 1881 25,547,521 Falling off..... 6.187,339 Exports for July and August. 10 f 62.961.537 Exports for July and August, 1881 45,584,228 Falling off f 17.377.309 Exports for 8 months ended Aug., '80..4185 321.222 Exports for 8 months ended Aug., '81.. 157,563,200 Falling ofT. 27,756.022 The conclusion is that the European demand for American breadstuff is not as active as it was last year, and with the sharp advance in prices it is safe to look for a still further decline in the demand. An old farmer recently observed that ''lence-board advertisements are well enough as landscape adornments, but if you are desirous of purchasing an article it is easier and more convenient to look through the columns of a newspaper to see who has it for sale than it is to 'hook up' a team and drive around the country reading fences." Sensible farmer, he was. Connersville Ex aminer. Railroad Time-Table. Oa and after Saaday, Jmly 17, 1881. Cleveland, Colombo., Clmcln-aatl and inaianaiioiia. (BEE LINE.) Depart!
