Important Intelligence from All Parts, From Washington, ON the 25th memorial serviees in honor of the dead President were held in, almost every city, town and village in the land, and a great number of sermons were preached on his life,. public services and death. In Paris and London similar memorial honors were paid to the deceased, and in the former city Pere IHyacinthe celebrated a special service which Mr. Morton, the United States Minister; attended. In St. Paul’s Cathedral in London the majority of the congregation, which was unprecedentedly large, appeared dressed in deep mourning. Whenthe * Dead March in Saul” was played the whole congregation, numbering many thousands, rose and remained standing amidst profound gilence, all showing grief and many weeping. Canon Stubbs preached, and specially referred to the eruel manner of President Garfield’s death. Ie extolled hislife and virtues, ‘ond expressed sympathy for the sorrowing American Nation. A Masonic memorial service was held in the City of Mexico, and a Union Protestant service in which all missionaries joined. i - SEVERFE criticisms-having been made on the surgeons’ reéport of the autopsy on the late President, Dr. 'Woodward stated on the 24th that those present at the autopsy would make a joint statement at the proper time, but they could not stop individunally to chase down lies in circulation. He said the dissection was performed by Prgessor Lamb, a physician = entirely unconnected ‘with the case previously, and a gentleman of the highest professional and personal icharaeter, and particularly distinguished 'as a demonstrator of anatomy. A published -Istatement declaring that the ball was acciidentally found in a basin. among . the \bowels bad been credited in part to |General Swaim. He desired it to be known ‘that he bad mno hand in it, and .Lad no criticisms to make upon -the case or upon the surgeons. Dr. Lamb said the ‘bulletin report of the autopsy issued by the isurgeons was correct and true; that nothing was concealed or held back; alsp, that ‘the wound was necessarily fatal. Dr. Bliss 'said the results of the late autppsy were .correctly given; that there was no attempt ‘to conceal anything, and- that the wound was necessarily fatgl. . Dr. Reyburn refused to discuss so false a statement as that which made the discovery of the ball a matter of accident. .

ACCORDING to a telegram of the 24th Senator Frye, of Maine, had stated that the Republicans of the Senate would make no fight against the Democrats electing a presiding officer. As he putsit: ‘¢ We have had enough of dead-locks.” Senator Bayard would be elected President pro tem., if the Republicans made no filibustering opposion. G

GENERAL ARTHUR on the 224 again took the dath as President of the United States, 'in the presence of m”embérs ‘of the Cabinet, the United States Supreme Court, those of ‘the Senators and members of Congress who were in Washingten, the General of the Army and others. -The oath was adminis|tered by Chiet-Justice Waite. After taking the oath the President read from manuseript lnot_es the following « 5 g

. INAUGURAL ADDRESS: = i . For the fourth timein the history of the Rergublic its Chiet Magistrate has been removed by death. All hearts ave filled with griet and Jhorror at the hideous crimie which has darkiened our land, and the memory of th: murdered President, his protracted sufferings, his unyielding fortitude, the example and | ;achievements of his life, and the pathos of his | .geath, will forever illume the pages of our his- | {tory. .- ] | " Forthe fourth time the ofticer elected by the f)eople, and ordained by the Constitution to fill the vacanoy so created, 18 called to assume the Executive chair.” The wisdom of our fathers, foreseeing even the most dire Jpossibilities, made sure that the Government should never be imperiled because of thé uncertainty ot human life. Men may die, butthe fabric of our free institutions remain unshaken. No higher or more assuring proof couid exist of the strength and permanency -of the popular Government than the fact that, ‘ though the chosen of the people be struck | down, his Constitutional successor is peacefu - ly installed without shock or strain except the SOrrow which mourns the bereavement. All the noble aspirations of my lamented predecessor, which found expression in hislite; the measures devised and suggested during his brief administration to correct abuses and enforce gconomy; to advance the prosperity and promote the general welfare; to insure domestic security, and maintain friendly and honorable relations with the nations of the «earth, will be garnered in the hearts of the Jpeople, and it will be my earnest endeavor to ;{yroﬂr, and to see that the Natiou shall profit, ‘by his example and experience. Prosperity blesses our-country ; our fiscal policy, as fixed by law, is well grounded and generally approved. No threatening issue mars our foreign intereourse, and the wisdomy integrity and thrift of our people may be trusted to continue undisturbed the present assured career of peace, fraternity’ and welfare. The gloom and anxiety which have enshroudedthe country must makerepose especially welcome !no’w. No demand ftor speedy legislation has been heard; no adejuate occasion is apparent for an unusual session of Congress. The Constitution defines the functions and powers of the Executive as clearly as those of| either of ithe other departments of the Government, jand he must answer for the just exercise of ithe ‘discretio‘n,ity permits, and the pertormance jof the duties it imposes, Summoned to these ‘high duties and responsibilities, and profoundily conscious of thfir magnitude and gravity, I assumnie the trusg m‘Bosed by the Constitution, relying for aid oy Divine guidance and wirtue, patriotism -and intelligence of t American people. = { ' ACCORDING to a Washington dispatch of the 22d the members of the Cabinet had been requested by President Arthur to retain their respéctive positions.

At the cemetery other religious exercises were held, terminating with the interment at about three p. m. From first to last nothing occurred to mar the solemn and impressive grandeur of the last honors paid to the dead hero. Over a quarter of a million of people participated in the ceremonies. 2

THE DEAD PRESIDENT,

The Rellgious Services at Elberon Over the Remains of the Late President Garfield-The Removal to Washing= . ton Accomplished in Silent Sorrow— Evidences of the Deepest Grief Eve erywhere DManifested Alongz ‘the Route—Lying in State. LoxNGg BRANCH, September 21,

The appearance of the late President is so changed that persons familiar with his natural countenance would scarccly recognize him. The body is so greatly shrunken that artificial means had to be resorted to to give the clothes an appearance of fitting. Inaddition to the natural shrinking from his illness, the operation eonnected with the autopsy has left the body in an even more emaciated state.

The casket is described as being very unpretentious, being covered with black cloth, and, with the exception of silver mountings, perfectly plain. The only decoration was a large V-shaped sago palm, which extended from the foot of the casket upwards. The casket bore the following inseription,drafted by Attorney-General MacVeagh:

JAMES ABRAHAM GARFIELD, Born Nov. 19, 1831, : Died President of the United States, Septem- . ber 19, 1881. ot : RELIGIOUS SERVICES. :

"At half-past nine o’clock Chief-Justice Waite, Secretary and Mrs. Blaine, Secretary and Mrs. Windom, Secretary and Mrs. Hunt, Postmaster-General and Mrs. James, and Secretaries Lincoln and Kirkwood, and Attorney-General MacVeagh arrived at the Francklyn " cottage, and the doors ‘were closed ‘to visitors. Religious services were conducted by Rev. Charles J. Young, of Long Branch, at the request of Mrs. Garfield. There were present, besides the family and their attendants, members of the Cabinet, their wives, and a few personal friends, numbering in all not more than fifty. When the moment for the services was announced the windows and doors were closed, and the most solemn silence prevailed.

‘¢ The Scripture-reads,’’ said the pastor, ¢¢ Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest fron¥ their labors, and their works do follow them.”” ‘“We know,” said the pastor, ¢+ that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved we have a building of God—a house not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens. Therefore, we are also confident of knowing that whilst we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord. We are confident, I say, and willing, rather, to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. For me. to live is Christ, and to die is gain, I am in a strait betwixt the two, having a desire to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better. There the wicked cease from troubling, and there the weary are at rest; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow mnor crying; neither shall there be any more pain; and there shall be no night there, and they need no candle, neither the light of the sun, for God giveth them light, and they shall reign forever and ever. Behold I show you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we: shall all be changed in a moment,, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump. For this cor-. ruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; the strength of sin is the law; but thanks be to God who giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Let us pray. ; THE PRAYER. 0, Thou, who walked through the grave of Bethany—that open grave of the brother in Bethany! O, Thou, who kadst compassion on the widow of Nain ~shs bore her beloved dead! O, Thou, who art the same yesterday, to-day, and forever; in whom is no variableness nor shadow of turning! have mercy upon us in this hour, when our souls have nowhere else to fly. But we fly to Thee. Thou knowest the:se sorrows that we bow under. O, Thou God of the widow, help the stricken heart before Thee. Help these children, and those that are not here. Be their Father. Help her in the distant State who watched over him in childhood. Heip this Nation that is to-day bleeding and bowed in sorrow before Thee. Oh, sanctify this heavy chastisement to itg good. Help those assoc¢iated with him in the Government. O Lord, grant from the darkness of this night of sorrow there may . arise a better day for the glory of God and the: good of men. We thank Thee for therecordof lifc that is closed; for its heroic devotion to principle. We thank Thee, O Lord, that he was Thy serv-: ant; that he preached Thee by a noble life and example, and that we .can say of him now: *Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord; their works do follow them.’” ‘Now, Lord, go with this sorrowing compauny in this last sad journey. Bear them'up and strengthen themO God, bring us all at last to the morning that bas no shadows; the house that has no tears; the land that has no death; for Christ’s sake. Amen.” :

THE JOURNEY TO WASHINGTON. ; WASHINGTON, September 21, The following incidents of the journey of the Presidential train from Elberon to ‘Washington were obtained from one who accompanied the party. The station at Elberon was draped in mourning, heavy festoons of black cambric being hung from windows, doors and cornices. The buildings at all of the stations of the Jersey Central Road from EKlberon to Philadelphia were also in mourning. Xverywhere along the line were touching manifestations of popular grief. The flags in the grounds of the rich were at half-mast, and were intertwined with mourning emblems. The houses of the poor showed, from doors and windows, the depth of the National grief. At one little hut by the roadside love was present if money was wanting, and some articles of dark wearing apparel were arranged in the form of mourning draperies. The crowd was kept from pressing too closely about Elberon Station by a cordon of soldiérs, but at the stations which followed the train passed between fields of people densely packed on bothsides of the track. All stood with uncovered heads, in reverence for the dead. All looked with eager curiosity for the living President. 'Ocean Grove, some five miles' from Elberon, was the first station. It is a place noted as a summer resort of the religious. A vast number of people—many thousands—had gathered there, and stood uncovered reverently while the funeral train went past at high speed. -All through Jersey the farmers were assembled at the crossings, as they ‘had been two weeks before, to witness the same Presidential train, which then bore the living, but which to-day carried back the living and the dead Presidents. Every switchtender had placed some mourning token about his house. The workmen in the

cities that were passed suspended their labor as the train wéntby. = 7 T

The most touching incident of the day occurred at Trenton, near which is Princeton College. The students had telegraphed early in the morning to Secretary Blsine a request that the train might go slowly through Trenton, as they wished to tender some flowers. Thelr request was heeded. As the cortege approached Trenton. the train slowed down, and it was soon seen that the students; ranged on either side, had strewn the track with flowers. The speed, too, had been so slackened that a larze baskét of choicest flowers were received by some one in the bagaage car. They were intended for' Mrs. Garfield. '

At Freehold ali the bells in town were ‘toiled, all business suspended, and all the stores closed during the passage of the train. Nearly evéry building in the town itself was draped in mourning. The first stop wus made at Bristol for water. Nearly opposite the window “at ‘which Mrs Garfield sat was a lorg row of tenement houses of very moderate character. Almost the entire front of the building was hid by black draperies. The oécupants stood in front and by the doorways, gazing intently, sadly, the women tearfully, .as the train halted. They were looking upon the remains of one who bhad risen to a higher rank than that of K ings. They caughta glimpse at the window of a woman and a‘widow who had been brought from theloftiest heights of human ambition to the profoundest depths of humun sorrow. ; ‘As the train neared the larger cities, the crowds increased. At Germantown the approaches to the station were densely packed. ‘West Philadelphia was reached at 12:44, on a run of ninety-four miles in 152 minutes. But two weeks ago, when the dying President was taken to Long Branch, the same distance was traversed in 137 minutes. :The crowd there was immense. At Chester there are large. ship-yards. The mechanics were massed about the track, and the train passed between them in the most absolute silence. At Washington the sireets were black with people, work was suspended, and thousands of laborers stood uncovered in silent sorrow. ; . AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. .After reaching Washington the procession was formed at the depot and started down Pennsylvania. avenue toward the Capitol. The wide avenue was cleared. Not a vehicle was in sight between Sixth street and the foot of Capitol Hill. The sidewalks were packed ten deep with people. It was almost impossible -to pass.. Every window of every building on the route was filled with lookers-on. The only color to be seen was somber black. It floated from every shop and dwelling window. Twelve mounted policemen led the way, and several mounted officers of the army and navy followed. A bangl playing a dirge came next, After thern came the Washington Light Infantry, their flag tied with crape, and arms reversed, a corps of muffled drums,. a company of United States troops and another band, the National Rifles of Washington, and another company of troops. A squad of colored infantry belonging to the- District followed, and the celébrated Marine Band occupied the next place in the procession. The marine corps stationed at the Navy Yard was next, and. was followed by five companies of soldiers stationed at the Arsenal. The Knights Templar orgzanization of the city, of which order the dead ®President was a member, was next inline. Closely following them came the hearse. Tt was,{ drawn; by six iron-gray horses, elegantly caparisoned. Hats were lifted on every | side as the hearse passed. Men and women were crying and children regarded the sceno with unususl solemnity.

Behind the hearse came the guard of honor, ‘With General Sherman and Admiral Nichols at its head. A few carriages fdllowed, one ‘containing President Arthur, ChiefJustice Waite, Secretary Blaine and Secre~ tary Windom. A ‘ © The members of the Cabinet 'and a number of the personal friends and relatives 6! General Garfield followed in other carriages. Mrs. Garfield and the members of the family were driven from the depot by a circuitous route to the residence of AttorneyGeneral MacVeagh, on Rhode Island avenue. The curtains of the carriage were drawn, and the heart<broken widow could not be seen by the crowds. Following the .carriages containing the President and members of the Cabinet were three squads of light artillery, and a troop of mounted policemen brought up the rear, As the hearse was drawn up to the east entrance to the rotunda, mufiied drums were beaten all along the line, and the bands began to play dirges and solemn tunes. : ' IN STATR. - After arriving at the Capitol the casket containing tge remains of the dead President was placed upon the catafalque in the rotunda of*the building. A Guard of Honor of the Association of the Army of the Cumberland, numbering forty men, then toolk charge of the remains, and the public were admitted to pass by from the east side to the west, and look upon the face of the deceased. & : g .

' —The increase of students at the Prussian universities during the. past year has been larger in the theological faculty than in any other. = While the philosophical and juristic faculties have only increased the number of their students six per cent. and the medical faculty sixteen per cent., the evangelical theological faculty has increased during the same interval no less than twenty-one per = cent. For several years the universities in Prussia have found it impossible to meet the demand for parochial clergy on account of the unwillingness of tie academical youth to study theology. It is evident that there has been a very noticeable reaction in this respect. - - o

The Seryices at the National Capital, S . WASHINGTON, September £3. - The funeral services of President Garfield Were brief and impressive. The ceaseless tread of those who came to pay their last respects to the dead, which began immediately upon the arrival of the remains from Elberon, did ‘not end until this morning at eleven o’clock, when the rotundawas closegy to allow. the President’s old comrades in | arms to prepare for the solemnities. Yet that was not the only purpose. - Soon after these massive bronze doors. closed several carriages were quietly driven to the Capitol,and those who observed them mnoticed the carriage of the President, in which were seated persons in deep mourning.

The ceremonies were opened with the hymn “Asleep in Jesus,’’ beautifully ren= dered by a volunteer ¢hoir. - Rev. .D. Ran--kin then ascended the: platform at the head of the catafalque and read, in a clear, distinct voice; several passages of Scripture, Rev. Dr. Isaac Errett then offered a prayer full of deep feelingz and fervid eloquence, in which he alluded tothe noble and Christian spirit exhibited by Mrs. Garfield in the hour of sorrow and tribulation: He invoked the Divine blessing on the fatherless chil-, dren, that the sons should, under the benediction of God, grow up to noble manhood, and that the bereaved daughter might rise into true, glorious womanhood, and . live to be a comfort to her widowed mother. He appealed to God to have pity on 'the dear old mother, over the mountaing, waiting for the dead body of her darling son. *-~ - |

Rev. F. Ds Powers, of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church, of which President ‘Garfield was a mé'mber,dgli_vered a feeling address, in which he said: i :

“The cloud.so long pending overthe Nation has at last burst upon our heads. We sit-half crushed amid the ruin: it has wrought. A million prayerd, and hopes, and tears, as far as human reason sces; 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 somtimes himself preached, and ‘which he always: truly loved. And we see a light and blue sky through the cloud; struct--ure 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 discipleship in the school ‘of Christ. Hid attainments 28 a scholar and astatesman will be the theme of ourorators and historians, and they he the most ‘worthy anen! to'speak praiseworthily. But it is as a-Christian that we love to think 6f him now. It wasthis which made ‘his life to man an invaluable boon, his death to us-an unspcakable loss, hig eternity to him§¢lf” an inheritance incorruptible, undetiled. and that fadeth not away. ‘He was no sectarian. - His religion was as broad -as the. religion _of Christ. ,He was a simple _Christian, b‘%d by no sectarian ties, and wholly in fell®®¥ship with all pure spirits. He was a - Christologist rather than a theologist. He had great reverence for family and relations. -His example as a son, husband and father is a glory to. his Nation. : Hé had a most kindly nature. His power over human hearts was deep and strong. He won men to -him. He had no enemies. Thé hand thatstruck him was not:-the hand -‘'of his enemy, but the enemy of the people, the ‘enémy. of the country, the enemy of God. He sought to do right, manward and Godward. He was 8 grander 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 achicvements, not from -any fault of his. But ' we may in some Sense reverantly apply to him the words spoken -Of 'his ‘dear Lord: ‘He was wounded for: our transgression, he: was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon him." As the nations remeémber the Macedonian as _Alexander the Great, and the Grecian as Arfs‘tides 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, and he loved to talk of the leisure that did not come to him. Now he hagit. This is theclay. precious because of the gervice it rendered. He is free. ' The spirit, absent from the body is present with the Lord. On the héights whence came kis help he finds repose. What rest hag been his for these four days! ‘ Brave spirit, which cried in its body: ‘L am tirved |’ He is where the wicked cease from:troubling and the weary are at rest. The patient soul; which groaned under-the burden of suffering flesh: ‘O this pain!” i 3 now in a worldwithout: pain.. ‘Sprivg comes, ~the flowers bloom;, the buds put forth, the birds sing. Autumn rolls round, -the ‘birds have long since ‘hushed Iheir voices, the flowers faded and fallen® away,. the. forest foliage assumes’a sickly hue. €0 earthly things pass away, and what is true remains with God. The pageant moves. Fhe spleador of arms and banners glitter in.the sunlight, Thé music of instruments and oratory ‘swells upon the-air. The- - and praises of men resound. Butspring and summer pass by, and autumn ‘sees.a Nation of sad eyes and heavy hearts, and what is true remains of &od.- ‘The eternal God is our refuge, and uuderneath are the everlasting arms.”’ - S ¢ Ay

At the conclusion of Dr. Powers’ address, _Rev. J. G: Butler offered g prayer, in which, after invoking the Divine blessing upon the bereaved family, hethanked God *“for the institutions of freedom#ind religion—the rich heritaga of migléﬁt,h_ers-‘—‘whipﬁ suryive the death of rulers and of the peaple. diake us “worthy of Thee. q(ilv;emt;heamﬂisz}pm ‘and courage necded to proteet and perpetuate, thus making us more Id, moxe & pattern -among the' Netians, Kndaw withwisdom “and grace Thy servatit wpon whiom ;the _ great responsibilities of adniinistration have so suddenly come. - Bles§ his Cabinet, coming from their anxious and I6ving ministries of sorrow in the ehamber of suffering -and death.
