dence lias removed from this life the
honored Chief .Magistrate of the Re
public. While receiving the blow
with bowed heads and with humble

occasion. [Signed]

THE JOINT SESSION RE-CONVENEB.
The joint session ot the Genera! as
sembly re-conyened at 12 o’clock and
was called to order by President
Boynton. Immediately thereafter
the joint committee, headed by Gov.
Colquitt, entered the hall and were
assigned to the semicircle of seats
around the speaker’s stand. A deep
hush fell upon the great throng which
filled the galleries and the floor from
the foot of the dratied speaker’s stand
to the doors. Governor Coiquitt arose
t nd, alter brief and appropriate in
troductory remarks, read with deep
eeling the tallowing preamble and
resolutions :
Whereas, The protracted and pain
ful solicitude ot the people ot Geor
gia, felt universally and without ex
ception, lor t’.ie sutfer.ng and critical
condition ot onr late President, has,
at last, been ended by his death, the
representatives of that people deem it
meet aud proper that their horror
over this sad evept and their deep-
felt sympathy should have expression
through us, and in as solemn form as
the joiut action of this General As
sembly can make, we, therulorr,
for ourselves and iu behalf of the peo
ple of Georgia again express onr
honor and indignation at the awful
sin of the President’s assassination,
aud feel that while the memory of
this historic crime survives, the people
ol the United Stales will never .cease
to recall it with abhorrence. We feel
that no more appropriate time than
this will ever present itself to the
people ot this Union for self examina
tion—lor wise loiecast, and provident
safe-guards.
The peace and honor of this grent
government demaud that its best and
surest defenses should be touud in the
care mid guardianship of the people
lor whom it was created and for whom
it exists. We can but feel assured
that when it is assailed or even disre
garded by those whose inheritance it
is,whosc pride and glory it should be,
that its days are numbi red and ihai
those who .value peace and safely
more highly than forms of government
Will be ready to surrender the most
revered of our traditions rather than
the more vital aims and objects ol
human existence and society.
Over the open grave of our la
mented President—cut off by a
murderous hand in the prime of tile
and usefulness, we should not spare
a just and searching self examination
or the ofler of earnest heartfelt co-op-
etalion with all the good among our
fellow citizens in every quarter ufour
broad land in restoring our beloved
country to its past purity, dignity
and tranquility.
The General Assembly of Georgia
joining wilii the Executive and Judi
cial departments ol the State in pro-
toundest sorrow at liie decease of
James A. Garfield, lateoui President,
do resolve:
1st. That we deplore bis untimely
death as a national calamity, and feel
most profoundly tho disgrace which
his assassination fixes upon the- good
name of the people of these states who
should, to the last man have teit that
the President’s safety and life was a
sacred charge upon every citizen.
2d. That the people of Georgia
hereby extend to the bereaved house
hold—the heroic wife—the orphaned
children—the stricken mother ot our
late President, our deepest sympathy
and most earnest cocdolence.
3. That we request the Governor to
have the capitol draped iu mourning.
4. That we request His Excellency
to transmit the action of the Geneial
Assembly to the President of the
United States, to the members of the
Cabinet, to the Governors ot the sev
eral states ot the union, and to the
family of the late President.
Hon. II. D. D. Twiggs said : Mr.,
President, gentlemen of the assembly
and fellow-citizens : | rijwfbrthtf^niiaf
pose of seconding the resolutions upon
tho part ot the house, and move their
adoption.
Iu doing so, sir, I have no formal
speech lo make. I feel that upon an
occasion like this it were better to be
silent than to speak. It were idle to
attempt to formulate in adequate and
fitting language words ot sympathy or
ot condolence upon the occasion of a
great national bereavement like this.
A little over two .months ago this
entire country was inexpressibly shock
ed and stunned by the announcement
which flashed over the wires that in a
time of profound peace and quiet, and
without apparent cause tor it, the hon
ored Chief Magistrate ot this country
fell wounded and bleeding by the hand
of a bad, depraved and bold assassin.
That intelligence was received with
profound sorrow and inexpressible
indignation everywhere in this land,
and I am glad to say that in no part
of our common co entry was there a
more general expression ot the senti
ment than that which welled up from
the hearts of the people of the south:
It has long been apparent that the
end of the President was drawing
near; it was apparent yesterday morn
ing that the hour ot death was near at
hand, that the shadows of life’s light
were drawing gradually to a close.
The President is dead, and speak
ing for myself, and I know I am echo
ing the sentiments of this General As
sembly, I do not hesitate to sav that
his loss is both a private and public
calamity. He was both a good and
great man.
Again, Mr. President, I desire to
say that I do not wish lo prolong these
remarks, but merely to move the
adoption ot these resolutions.
Hoti. Joseph E. Brown, United
States Senator arose and said :
Mr. President: As the General
Assembly did Governor Colquitt,
Chief Justice Jackson and myself the
honor to appoint us members of the
committee to rejxirt resolutions on
this occasiou, it was considered by
the committee appropriate that eacji
of us should snbmit a few ’ remulpk
The occasion is indeed a sad > one.
The whole republic from the gulf to
the lakes, from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, is to-day dtaped in mourning.
A few months since the President ot
the United States was inaugurated and
entered upou the discharge of his du
ties under circumstances that prom
ised, us we trusted, much for the fu
ture. Ilia inaugural address was con
ciliatory, kind and just. All sections
of the union expected good results
from his administration ; that we Would
be enabled, under him, to see all sec
tional str>le reach an end and the
whole country again united. As has
been so well said by Judge Twiggs,
it was a time of profound peace. The
President was enthroned in the affec
tions of the great mass of the people,
he was engaged in his appropriate pur
suits, and when going on the streets
and entering a railroad depot, he was
assailed by an assassin, who came up
behind him and cruelly shot him down
Not only the people ol the United
States, but of the whole civilized
world, were shocked.
It was the more unfortunate for us
because ours is a government of law
arid freedom. In foreign governments
where monateny exists there may be
supposed to be conflicts between the
sovereign and the people. Here it is
not so. The people here govern, and
their chosen representative, the Presi
dent of the United States, is ouly se
lected to execute their will according
to law. How unfortunate, it is then,
that in this government of ours this
great crime against society should
have keen committed!
But, I will not dwell upon the hor
ror ol the crime. I prefer rather to
mingle with you a tear of grief over
this great miskrtune. His career has
culminated and culminated honorably
to himself.
Once iu the early period of life, a
poor boy, without fortune, without
friends, by a strong will, energy, fidel
ity, industry and perseverance, he
started out in file to be the architect
of his own fortune. Step by step he
climbed the ladder, round by round
he ascended until he reached the top
most round of earthly glory.
How evaueegeent are human affairs!
How bright the future seemed to him!
And yet how unfortunate the termi
nation. It reminds us that we should
never forget the Divine- admonition,
‘"Be ye also ready.’’
Judge Jackson also spoke ; but for
want of space, we are compelled to
omit his speech.
Choicn! to Death.
A little year old child of Mr. Sam
Hancock, living a few miles below
this city, died on Thursday evening
last, from having swallowed a part of
a chinquapin the day before. The
obstruction could not be removed,
and the poor little thing chooked to
death as stated. Mr and Mrs. Han
cock have the sympathy of all who
know them.—Gainesville Southern.
G kneral Lee once asked a.- con
federate soldier, who was eating
green persimmons if be did not know
they tv ere unfit for food. “I am not
eating them for food,” replied the
soldier, ’but to draw np my stomach
to fit my rations.”

The Judge Advocate General
Swaitn, who had been with Presi
dent Garfield continuously since he
was shot, and who was the only one
with the president wheu be com
menced sinking Monday night, made
the following statement to a reporter
ot the associated press Tuesday : ‘It
was my night to watch with the pres
ident. I had been with him a good
deal of tho time from 3 o’clock in the
evening. A lew minutes before ten
o’clock I left Col. Rockwell, with
whom I had been talking for some
minutes, iu the large hall and pro
ceeded up stairs to the president’s
room. On entering I found Mrs.
~ " sitting by his bedside. There
. tfoarperson in the room. I
said to herj oiovr’ ^-everything go
ing?’ She replied, ‘He is sleeping
nicely.’ I then said: ‘I tlilnk you
had better go to bed and rest ’ I
asked her what had been prescribed
tor him to take dqring the night.
Site replied she did not know; that
she had given him milk punch at 8
o’clock. I then said : ‘It yon will
wait a moment I will go into the
doctors’ room and see what is to be
given during the night.’ She then
said : ‘There is beef tea down stairs;
Daniel knows where to get it.’ I then
went into the doctors’ room. I found
Dr. Bliss there and asked him what
was lo be given during the night.
He answered : ‘I think I had better
fix up a list and will bring it into you
pretty soon.’ I then went back into
the surgeons’ room and had some
little conversation with Mrs. Garfield.
She felt of the president’s hand and
laid her hand ou his forehead and
said, ‘He seetns to be in good condi
tion,’ and passed out of the room. I
immediately felt his hands, feet and
knees. I thonght*that his knees seem
ed a little cooi and got a flannel cloth,
heated it at the fire and laid it over
his limbs. I also heated another
cloth aud laid it over his right hand
and then sat down in a chair beside
his bed. I was hardly seated when
Dr. Boynton came in and felt the
president’s pulse. I asked him how
it seemed to him. lie replied; ‘It is
not as strong as it was this afternoon,
but very good,’ I said. ‘Ho seems to
be doing well.’ ‘Yes,’ he answered,
aud passed out. He was not in the
room more than two minutes. Short
ly alter this the president awoke. As
he turned his head on awakening, I
arose and took hold of his hand. I
was on the left hand side of the bed
as he lay. I remarked: ‘You have
had a nice comfortable sleep.’ He
then said : ‘Oh, Swaim, this terrible
pain,’ placing his right Hand on his
breast just over the region of his
heart. I asked him. if I could do
anything for him. He said : ‘Some
water.’ I went to the other side of
the room and poured about an onuce
ana a half ot poland water into a
glass and gave it to him to drink.
He took the glass in his hand, I rais-
inglbis head as usual, and drank the
water naturally. I then handed the
glass to the tailored man, Daniel, who
came in during the time I-gesting the
water. Afterwards I took the napkin
and wiped his forehead, as he usually
perspired on waking. He then said:
‘Oh, Swaim, this terrible pain 1 press
your hand on it.’ I laid my hand on
his chest. He then threw both hands
up to the side and about on a line
with his head, and exclaimed : ‘Oil 1
Swaim, can’t you stop this ?’ and
again: ‘Oh 1 Swaim!’ I then saw
him looking at me with a staring ex
pression, I asked him if he was suf
fering much pain. Receiving no an
swer, 1 repeated the question with
a like result. I then concluded’ that
he was either dying or was having a
severe spasm, and called to Daniel,
who was at the door, to tell Dr. Bliss
and Mrs. Garfield to come in immedi
ately and glanced at the small “clock
hanging on the chandelier nearly over
the foot of his bed and saw that it
was 10 minutes past ten o’clock. Dr.
Bliss came in within two or three
minutes. I told Daniel lo bring the
light—a little candle which habitually
sat behind the.the scren near the| door.
When the light shone full in bis face
I saw he was dying. When Dr. Bliss
came in a moment alter I said : “Doc
tor have you any stimulants; he seems
to be dying.” He took hold of his
wrist as it feeling for his pulse and
said: “Yes, he is dying.” I then said
to Daniel. “Run and arouse the
house.” At that moment Col. Rock
well came in, when Dr. Bliss said:
“Let ns rub his limbs,’- wliieh we did.
In very few moments Mrs. Garfield
came in aud said: “What does this
mean ?” and a moment after exclaimed,
"Oh why am I made to sutler this
cruel wrong.” At 10:35 p in the sac
rifice was completed. He breathed
his last calmly and peacefully.
At the fiual moment the following
persons weie present: Mrs. Garfield
and Mollie, Drs. Bliss, Agnew anil
Boynton, Gen. Swaitn, Col. and Mrs.
Rockwell, J Stanley Brown, C. O.

THE LAST OF LIFE.
Elbeuon, September 21.—The dy
ing man said to Dr. Bliss: ‘Doctor, I
teel very comfortable, bnt I also feel
dreadfully weak. I wish you would
give me the hand-glass and let me
look at myself.’ General Swaim said :
‘Oh, no, don’t do that Mr. President.
See if you cannot get some more sleep.’
*1 want to see myself,* the president
replied.
Mrs. Garfield gave him the hand
glass. He had it in a position which
enabled him to see his face. Mrs.
Garfield, Dr. Bliss, Dr. Agnew, Gen
eral Swaim and Dr. Boynton stood
around the bed, saying not -a word,
but looking at the president. He
studied the reflection ot his own fea
tures at length. He wearily let the
glass fall upon tl>e counterpane, and
with a sigh said to Mrs. Garfield :
‘Crete, I don’t see how it is that a
man who looks as well as I do should
be so dreadfully weak.’
In a moment or two lie asked for
his daughter, Miss Mollie. They told
him that nlie would come to see him
later iu the day. He said, howe'.’er,
that he wanted to see her then.
Thereupon Rockwell went to the
beach, where Alisa Mollie was sitting
with Miss Rockwell, and told her that
her father wanted to see her.
When the child went into the room
she kissed her father, and tolil Him
that she was glad to see that he was
looking so much better. The presi
dent said : ‘You think I do look bet
ter, Mollie ?’ She said : ‘I do, papa.’
Then she took a chair and sat near
the toot of the bea.
Soon after Miss Mollie fainted and
struck her head against the bedpost.
She was carried out of the room and
soon restored though- her face bled
considerably. The cioseness ot the
room and her feeble condition caused
the faintingfit. The president noticed
it but when it was explained he re
lapsed into a stupor again.
bendinw over her .husband.
The Telegram extra says: “At
the president's beoside, holding his
poor emaciated hand in her own, and
watching him with anguish unuttera
ble the fast vanishing sands of life,
sat the faithtul, devoted wife, during
the closing hours of the president’s
career. Around him were other
weeping friends, and physicians la
menting their powerlessness in. the
presence of the dark angel of death.
“Toward the last the mind of the
sufferer wandered. He was once
more hack in Mentor amid those
scenes where the happiest hours of his
life were spent. He sat in the dear
old homestead again, with his loved
ones arnnnd him; his aged mother,
so proud of her big bov; hi:i laithful
wife, his beloved childreu. It was a
blisstul dream that robbed death of
its terrors and rendered the dying
man for the moment unconscious of
tiie cruel rending ot his once vigorous
frame that was canstantly going on.
‘The moan of the restless ocean
mingled witli the sobs of ltis loved
ones, as the lamp of life went out for
ever. Nearly every one aroimd the
president clung to hope to the last,
and refused to credit the approach of
death until the shadow deepened and
the destroyer’s presence could he no
longer unfelt.’
Mother Garfield is at Solon, Ohio,
with her daughter, Mrs. Larabee. She
been tilled with anxiety and huahard-
ly been able to sleep. She became
exhausted and slept well the night of
the President’s death,and did not wake
till 8 o’clock in the morning. The
news bad been received, but her
daughter waited till she had eaten
breakfast, amt when she was about to
read the telegram, her granddaughter
took it from her.
•Grandma,’ she said, ‘would you be
surprised to get bad news this morn
ing ?’
‘Why, I don’t know,’ said the old
lady.
‘Well, I shouldn’t,’ said Mrs. Lara-
bce ; ‘I have been fearing and expect
ing it all the morning.’
‘Grandma,’ said Miss Ellen, ‘there
is bad news.’
•Is he dead ?’ asked the old lady,
tremulously.
‘He is.’
The quick tears started in the sensi-
live eyes. There was no violent par
oxysm of griet.. No expression ot
frenzy told ol the anguish within.
‘Is it true ?’ she asked, with quiver
ing Ups. ‘Then the Lord help me, for
if he is dead what shall I do?’
She was rendered weak and a little
nervous by the announcement, and
was obliged, once or twice, to repair
to her room, where in solitude she
might begin to comprehend the awful
truth, but she was not c mtenied to
remain there, and soon returned to
the sitting room. About halt-past 9
o’clock, Mrs. Garfield was found
sitting-in a rocking chair, waiting for
the news. The morning paper she
read with eagerness.
“It cannot be that James is dead.’7
she mnrmured. “I cannot under
stand it. I have no lurther wish to
live it it is so.
Although-her general health is good

prophetic.
She is 80 years old and her daugh

There have been five deaths in the
family since last Novemlier.
the autopsy.
Dr. Bliss stated at a lute hour last
night that the autopsy had been very
tedious, and that the time occu
pied in searching for the ball alone
was nearly three- quarters ot an hour.
In replying to a question, the doctor
said that since the conclusion of the
autopsy Mrs. Garfield was feiling
much relieved, as it established the
fact that the patient’s death was inev
itable. Ho stated fuither that tho
point of the ball was somewhat blunt
or in a battered condition, caused l>y
the force with which it struck therib.
Iu other respects its original shape
was not altered.
After the body embalmed a
plaster cast of his head was taken. He
was laid out in the suit of clothen he
wore on inauguration day. His left,
hand is laid across his breast after the
manner he had in life. The body is
greatly sunken and artificial means
were used to make the clothes seem
to fit He lay in state at Elberon at
the cottage where he died and all
who desired were permitted to see
him, which privilege many availed
themselves of. Tho coffin was black,
with silver handles; black rods ran
alongside, and upon the top was a sil
ver plate, with the inscription :
JAMES ABRAM GARFIELD,
BORN NOVEMBER 19TII, 1831, DIED
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
SXPTMBKl 1»TII, 1881.
The coffin was lined with white
satin. Across the top and crossing
each other* were two long leaves of
palm. Only the face and shoulders
were visible, and one needed to know
that all that remained of James A.
Garfield lay there to recall features so
f amiliar during life. The face to those
who knew General Garfield only from
his portraits, could not have been rec
ognized—the cheeks were gone, the
brow had lost its massive appearance
which had characterized it in life. The
involuntary whispered remark of all as
they gazed upon the loved form with
a shudder, was: ‘I never should have
recognized him. How he must have
suffered.’ His shrunken earthly form
told how much. It was most marvel
ous to us he lived so iong.
THE FUNERAL SERVICES.
I>y request of Mrs. Garfield Rev.
Charles Z. Young, of Long Branch,
conducted tho services at Elberon.
Only the family, a few friends and
tiie officers ot the government, with
their families were present.
The minister read from tho script
ures appropriate passages relating to
death and tho resurrection, such ns are
round iu the burial service ot the
Episcopal church. He then offered
the following prayer :
‘Oh 1 Thou who. didst open the
grave of the brother in Bethany, who
hadsl compassion on the widow of
Nam as she bore her beloved dead,
who art the same yesterday, to-day
and forever, and in whom is no varia
bleness, nor shadow of turning, have
mercy upon us at this hour when onr
souls have no where else to fly but
to Thee. Thou knowest the sor
row that we bow under. Oh ! Thou
God of the widow help this stricken
heart before Thee. Help these chil
dren and those that are not here. Be
their father. Help her in tho distant
state who watched over him in child
hood. Help this nation that is to-day
bleeding and bowed in sorrow before
Thee. Oil! sanctity this heavy chas
tisement to its good. Help those asso
ciated with him in the government.
Oh 1 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 man. Wo lhank Thee
for the record of Ihe life that is closed
for its heroic devotion to principle.
We thank Thee, 011 1 Thou Lord, that
he preached Thee, Thy noble file and
example, and that we can say of him
now, ‘Bleased aie the dead who die
in the Lord, their works do follow
them.’ Now, Lord, go with this sor
rowing company in this last sad jour
ney. Bear them up and strengthen
them, O God, bring us all at last to
the morning that has no shadow, the
house that has uo tears, the land that
lias no death, for Christ’s sake. Amen.
THE FUNERAL TRAIN.
At 10 o’clock Wednesday morning
the train bearing the remains of the
president and those accompanying,
leit Long Branch. President Arthur
and Gen. Grant were on board. Along
the way and at every station the peo
ple were out by hundreds and thou
sands and stood with uncovered
heads, and in perfect silence as the
train went by. At some places flow
ers were strewn on the railroad track
the bells tolled and nearly all the
towns were draped in mourning-
The train reached Washington at
4:35 p. m. The departments were
all closed and will remain so till Sat
urday.
A vast throng had assembled about
the depot, every avenue and approach
being densely packed with quiet or
derly- citizens. The casket con
taining the remains of the president
was born on the shoulders of eight
soldiers and placed in the hearse,
which was draped in black of rich
and heavy material. Tho hearse was
drawn by six iron-gray horses, whose
tl appings were also draped in sombre
black. As the casket was borne to
the hearse the Marino baud played
“Nearer, My God, to Thee,” while
every head was bowed and many eyes
were dimmed with tears. Assoooas
the presidential parly had entered
their carriages, the military escort
formed iu a line and mournfully pro-*
needed on their way to the capitol.
A dense mass of people lined the side
walks all the way from the depot to
the capitol. As the procession moved
up the avenue scarcely a sound was
heard save from the feet ot tho mov
ing men. and horses, and heads . were
bowed as by a common .impulse of
deep aud unfeigned grief.
LYING IN STATE.
The president’s remains were placed
oq the catafalque in the; capital and
thousands passed by to view them
for the last time. President Arthur
and Secretary Blaine went through
together. The lunera! ceremonies at
Washington will take place to-day
and the remains will be carried to
Cleaveland Ohio
There seems to be a pretty genoj-
al belief in Georgia that every county
in the state is a sort of republic, entr
lied to a code of its own. That idea
has been largely acted on by the pres
ent legislature. An end ought to be
put to ibis folly by a constitutional pro
hibition ol local legislation—Sparta

KI\U COTTON’S REALM.
Honrv \V. Gnuty. in Harper's Muitaz ue for
October.
In the past ten years the soutli has
more than doubled' the amount of cot
ton manufactured within her borders.
In 1870 there were used 45.032,866
pounds of cotton ; in 1880 101,937-
256 pounds. In 1870 there were 11a
602 looms and 416,983 spindles run
ning ; in 1880,15,222 looms and 714-
078 spindles. This array of figures
hardly indicates (airly the progress
that the south will make in the next
10 years, tor the reason that factories
in which these spindles are turned
are experiments in most of the loealis
ties in which they are placed. It is
the invariable rule when a factory is
bnill in any city or country it is easier
to raise tho capital for a subsequent
enterprise than for the first one. At
Augusta, Ga., for instance, where the
manulaclure of cloth has been demon
strated a success, the progress is re
markable. In the past two years two
new mills, the Enterprise and Sibley
with 30,000 spindles each, have lieeu
established; aud a third, the King,
has been organized with a capital ot
31,000,000 and 30,000 spindles. The
capital for these mills was furnished
about one-fourth in Augusta and tho
balance in the north. With these
mills rtinning Augusta will have 170-
000 spindles, and will have added
about 70,000 spindles to the list census
returns. In South Carolina the same
rapid growth is resulting from the
establishment of one or two successtul
mills; and in Columbus, Ga., the in
fluence of one successful mill, the Ea
gle and Phoenix, has raised the local
consumption of cotton from 1,927
bales, in 1870, to 19,000 bales, in
1880. Indeed, an experience varied
and extended enough lo give it au
thority teaches that there is ahso’utely
no reason why tho South should not
profitably quadruple its capacity for
the manufacture of cotton every year
in the next five years, except the lack
of capital.
