In th'a attitude he lashed him until be was cut and bruised so frightfully that he faint ed and soon died. Ono physician says Mathews was subject to heart disease and diad from it. The general belief, however, is that he was beaten to death, and this has worked up an intense feel ing against the leese system.

L1KEVIEW CENBTEBT. The Dead President's ft eating Place. Cleveland, O., September 20.— Lakeview Cemetery, where Presi dent Garfield's remains will be laid to rest, embraces 300 acres on tbe Soutli side of Euclid avenue, just be yond the Eastern limit of Cleveland, five miles from tbe business center of tbe city. On the other side of the avenue is Wade Park, and in close proximity the side where tbe new Western Reserve University bedd ings are being erected. Nature seems to have designated this spot for the purpose to which it has been devoted, and all that art aud money could do to enhance the uatnral beauties has been done. The grounds are owned by an incorporated asso ciation of Cleveland—gentlemen of of wealth aud refinement.' The association was incorporated under the law which required all gains or profits trom the sale of lots or otherwise to be appropriated to tbe perpetual adornment and repair of the cemetery. “The feeling is growing in the public mind that burials should be made where tbe qniet repose of the dead may be assured forever. The human heart clings to the grave ot its departed hopes and seeks conso lation in rearing monnmeuts and emblems of beauty over tbe remains of its departed ones. This can be fitly done, notin the lumnltuousdin of cities, but amid the quiet vendore under the broad cheerful light of heaven, where the harmonious and ever minds euce that to die is to live^gain.’ With this sentiment prompting the plans, tbe cemetery has become in beauty and tasteful adornment a revival of the most celebrated ceme teries ol the world, and has an air of retired and restful loveliness, of an inexpressible nearness to nature and withdraii fron. the world not fomd elsewhere. The great oblect of the association was to provide a resting place for the departed, free from the gloom of the tomb, and from which should be banished everything suggestive of awfulness in death. So fence, either iron or wood. No coping or curbing of brick or stone, no hedge, wooden trellis, posts and chain or anything to make an iuclocare is permitted.

Lewis III lluwlen Jtt the qtamh-Pran Henceiilre. IVimivut.ix, September 21 —A duel iM-lween District Aiiurney Lewis and (.'apia n I'eytou Wise, of Virginia, was fought four miles from Warreulon, Va., at 4 o’clock this afternoon. Colonel Campbell was Lewis' sec ond, and General Payne, of Watren tou, was Wise's second. Wise and Lewis bare beeu dodging the police and the civil authorities for two day*, trying to meet each other tc tight, it was knowu in Richmond that a challange had passed, and tbe authorities ot that city telegraphed all over the State directing the ar rest of the belligerents. The parties fought with duelling pistols, ten paces apart. At the word of command Lewis fired at Wise, but shot too low and missed him. Wise raised his pistol after I-ewis had shot aud fired iu tbe air. Lewis’ second cautioned him tu shoot low, aud he fired too low, the ball strikine tbe grouud near Wise’s fee'. When the shots bad been ex changed, and Wise fired in the air, the seconds interfered, and lie af fair was adjusted upon terms ar ranged bv tne seconds and friends. Wise is a splendid shot with the pistol, and could, it is said, have sily killed Lewis, bnt since accept ing, it seems, his mind has under, went a change, and he did not want to kill his antagonist. Wise was at Warrenton waiting foi Lewis aud his second, who were too meet him there, but Lewis came hv the way of Washington yesterdav,. and, to avoid arrest, took a train in a differ ent direction from Warrcuton. He had to ridcacroas the country ten or fifteen miles aud that made him half an hour late. The explanation of Peyton Wise’a conduct in firing iu the air is given as follows: When he read the re port of L L Lewis’ speech, in which ihe latter said that it George Wise had chaigcd ex-Senator Lewis, who is United States Marshal, with misconduct in office, he (George 1). Wise was a fool and a coward, Pey ton Wise immediately denounced Lewis, and this provoked a chat- iengo. That when George D. Wise who was in Southwestern Virginia, he ird of the affair he hastened to reach his brother and to assure him that he had nob said anything against Marshal Lewis’ character, as lie had a high regard for his integ. rity. That in viow of this statement, Peyton Wisesaw he had been hasty. But he had gone too far to with draw, so he determined to meet Lewis, receive his shot and to fire his own pistol in the air, and let ex planations be mttdc after the ex change of shots. This course he adopted, Ex-Congressman John Ambler Smith, who is a son-in-law or ex- Scnator Lewis, says that this morn lug George Wise seul Thomas Jes sup Miller, a lawyer or this city to him to inquire where L. L. Lewis was; that he (Smith) returned a re ply that be didn’t know, as be had nothing to do with the affair. Smith -ays Millet; came to him a second time on the same mission, and then admitted that he represented George Wise. Smith states be sent back word to Wise that if he had come to Washington to fight Lewis he was not in the city, bnt that he (Smith) wss willing to represent Lewis, and, it Wise wanted to fight he conld communicate with him; that he (Smith) would assume th(vresponsi bility for what Lewis had sai t against George Wise, and the latter could get satisfaction from him at any time. George Wise seems to have come down to prevent a fight, and it is estimated that now that his brother's difficulty is over he miy hold Smith to account. There are qnitea number of the Lewis family aud|several of the Wise boys. Each family will stand together, and now that bad blood has been stirred np it may not end here, so it ia said. A friend of George Wise’s says that he will not fight a duel if he can help it, as he is a member of the next Congreas. These Wise boys •re nephews of tbe late Henry Wise, whose soas are prominent Readjustee. Peyton Wise and Lewis parted friends, and unless other members of the families em broil them again, will probably re- main so> The duel fonght near Warrenton to-day grew out of an alleged at tack of George Wise upon ex-Sena tor and United States Marshal Lewis, charging him with using bis office to oppress the people of Vir- ginia. Lewis’brother, who isUnited States District Attorney of Virgin ia, said In a speech at Petersburg the other night, that if George Wise made tbe alleged attack he was a fool and a coward. Peyton Wise, George’s brother, in tbe;absence of George, took np the matter and de nounced District Attorney Lewis as a “coward, liar and fool,” whereup on the latter challenged him and they met to-day. _ changing face of nature re- Is us by its resuscitating influ- vaulu in lien of statuary and struc tures.

Editor yew* and Advertiser: I eee in your paper of a recent date, another communication from Worth, over the signature of G., filled up en tirely with acurrilloua and sarcastic slang, aimed at me. 1 hope yon will enforce the rule iu regard to such com munications. I am well satisfied, be sides 1 hare it from tolerable good au thority, that this great, learned, insig nificant St. Arlight was the manufhe- turer of G’s. communication, and that if 1 reply he intended to open fire on me, and set me square up. 1 hope I have doue that myaelf, and if my de- pai tuner was atone on him, I would feel that it was of littla consequence. I therefore paas all his communication, eonsalrriiig it beneath my notice, ex cept that be request* me set the matter square before the tax-payers of the OJtuity, concerning tlie acts of the BoarJ. It therefore devolves upon me f* necessity of •loing so, and I request that you allow we space iu your col- i.mns for the publication of tbe same, promising you to keep inside the rule. Tv the good citizens of Worth G. makes the first charge ou the Board that they made an average of fifteen pupils in tbe public schools, and that it was contrary to law or the intention of the law, I called G’s attention to sections u here he could find the law concerning that part of his charge which roads thus: ■•Section 29. Be it further enacted. That whenever ou account of sparse- uess of population it ia impracticable for keeping up the primary schools for three months of the year, said Boards shall have the power to provide for schools to continue for two mouths on ly, and said schools shall be so located as to be convenient to the majority of the children for whose benefit they are established, and shall not contain less than fllteeu pupils.’’ This is tbe law, and this is the lowest average that the law gives that we have been furnished with. The Board, for the benefit of those localities reduc ed the average to ten pupils, five below that of the law, to have a school iu all sections of the county, and if there is not one the Board is not to blame. Xow, good citizens, please give his first charge and the law ruling thz ease your honest judgment, and make up your verdict accordingly. Now for the baianoe of his charge. Hs says the Board nukes and uses unjust discrimi nations be ween sparsely settled sec tions snd tlie more favored ones. Well, I still say that it is untrue; we don’t practice any such theory, and we treat all alike that complies with the law, and he can’t show to tbe contrary. He then sums up that there is wrong iu the Board, because lie and Mr. Ber- rian Hobby did not get some of the school funds. Now, Tf lie and Mr. Hobby will show where they are Inw- fully entitled to any they certainly shall have it. He states that each of them had a little school in their neigh borhood and that they got none of the fundi. Well, now, let iu see if they bad a public school; we can only pay the money to public school teachers. Did yon make a contract with the Board, and did your school have the re quired fifteen pupils to set down with an average of ten pupils through the school? If so, you would have been entitled to pay according to your grade, bnt, for my life, X can’t tee where yon or Mr. Hobby wonid be entitled to any of the school lundi on the grounds of your being tax-payers. The Board has to be governed by the law and by the instructions from the State School Commimtoneia, and not by tbe whims of G. or any other per son. Then he desires to know ir we can’t be troubled with a school for them when they don’t comply with tbe law in contracting with the Board, why not pay them a pro rata of the school fund? I have to answer him. It la not in oar power to do it under the law. I referred him to the law in that ease, -still, he cries out some wrong in the Board, he has still got none of the ftinds. Good citizens, I will give you the law in tbe case:. Section 1. Be it enacted by the Gen eral Assembly of the State of Georgia, That so much of the General School Law of the State approved August 23d, 1872, as required by the County School Commissioner, to make an apportion merit of tbe School fund of the county, both that which jnay be raised by .gen eral taxation upon the property ot the county on the basis of tbe number of children of the school-age in tbe gener al sab. districts, and report the same to the County Board, and ‘to disburse said funds in accordance with said ap- irtiocunent, be, and tbe same ia here- j repealed.’*’ Sec. 2. “Be it farther enacted, That all laws and parts of laws in conflict with this act, be and tbe same are Approved February rr was entitled to any fund, except when he was a public .school to seller, awl had a public school, but now I will answer your question by asking yon another; Why did the Board fail to get any of it? Answer mine, and- Jt will answer yours, probably. Now, Mr. G., I will give yon and the rood citizens of oar county, as near as I cau. the financial condition of the public schools in Worth when I became a member of the Board, hat now took oat, I am go ing it on my egotism, but yon force me to it. 1 cannot tpeak ot tbe acta ot tbe Board and leave myaelf out, but wUl state facts as near as I can, and give youVa reference the pahife school teachers, and to our Commissioners, where you can see our actings from the Tstart. Hie whole matter was bankrupted and the teacher* nlling their claims at a discount) from seven ty-five to eighty-five cents on tbe dol lar, and no fund* in tbe concern to pay with. We went to work end .cat the Commissioners’ salary down from abont $800 to $100. “G," this was my move, and we commenced paying teachers salary. This was my move sgain, but I.don’t claim to be the Board, as you have said, as presiding officer I was not entitled to a vote. The Board adopted them both, aod we then decided to not involve on the Commission the task to visit the schools and we have endeavored to use the strictest economy we practically could and we have had schools in every sec tion of the country where they complied with the law, and have paid oar teach ers for about three yen one handled cents on the dollar, and “G,” you would now place us before the Grand Jury for Inefficiency, incapacity, gen eral neglect or malfeasance. Our act ings have been before the Grand Jury several times, and they have never seen the great wrong that you declare exists in tbe Board. Well, “G,” I have laid the matter be fore tlie tax payers of this county, and want them to scrutinize the whole matter and give in their honest verdict as the action of the Board under the law, and I- am now done with the scribbling; yon can go on aa tongas you choose to do so. “Starlight*’ will write for you till dooms day, if you want him to, but my hnmbie Judgment is, we had better give way for more valuable matter and better talent.

Arthur sgain took the oath of office. Ho canvass could have ever been made to portray the expression of the face of John Sher man when he advanced to shake the hand of the man who a few short months ago was »he victim of his petty spite, and whonotr the whirl- gig of time has made his superior in power. In extending his right hand he was unassured it would not be repelled; that tbe chief magis trate of a mighty nation would not then and there retnrn hate for hate, scorn for scorn. No more could his jealousy his disappointments, his painful reflections be depicted than could a dying groan.

C., ) Sept 24th, 1881.( All that remained of James A Oarfleld was, on yesterday, moved forever from the Capitol W the Uni ted States. The city has not yet re covered from the shock that nouLced bis death, and will long wear the black emblems with which public and private bnildlnga are hung. But, “with mirth in fnneral and dirge in marriage,” politicians are already turning their attention to tho future, and endeavoring to anticipate its surprises. The new Administration, the Cabinet, official changes that will be felt throughout the country; policies that will affect parties and swell history are known by all to be possible, and believed by some to be probable, under the Administration of President Arthur. There are rumors that the present Cabinet will be continued, and that the President will not depart from the policy of his predecessor. Bot no fact is better known than that events shape administrations quite as much as adminstratlons shape events. The President’s brief inaugural address is thought by many to be astutely non-commital. It may be asked, what were “the measures devised and suggested by my predecessor during bis brief Administration, to correct abases aud enforce econo my,” etc., etc., to which President Arthur refers when he says that it shall be his “earnest endeavor to profit by them and to see that the nation shall profit by them.” Presi dent Garfield had outlined no policy, except in the language of his letters of acceptance and his inaugural ad dress, both of which were remark able for nothing above the common platitudes and never binding gener alities of party platforms. His brief Administration was taken up in fighting a faction in bis own party, and listening directly, or through his Cabinet, to a horde of ofilco seekers, many of them os despicable) as Guiteau. President Garfield wee too old a politician and statesman, if yon like, to outline a policy or bind himself by unequivocal words to a rigid programme. Tbe times are not ripe for inch Presidents and such policies. Let us not be too im patient for the millenium. Tbero are eigne which indicate the policy of the new President more definitely than any words be has yet spoken. General Grant and Senator Jones, twin umbrae ot Conkling, are continually at Uie elbow of President Arthnr. He is the guest of Senator Jones, in the house rented by the latter of Gener al Ben But’er, snd will remain there for some weeks. Senator Conkling is believed by many to ho in the city. At the honse of Jones he esn have access to the Presidential ear without the accompaniment of a swarm of reporters, as would he case at the White House. Tbe pqb- lie heart is at present in the grave of Garfield, and, as Mr. Conkling well knows, too tore to endure any ostentation of influence by him. With tense of propriety be remains in tho background, but he is the Mephisto that controls, and none doubt that he. will appear in the fifth act C. A. S.

The officer kindly told her wbat his mission was, that her broth er was in the city, aud that she mutt go home with him. She did not want to go at first, but finally burst out crying and said she would go. She is a young girl, about sixteen yesra old, good-looking and very in telligent. In reply to a question from the officer as to what made her seek such a life, the said she ran away from home with a young man who had promised to marry he?. They came to St. Joseph, where she expected the ceremony to bo per- formed. Before her dream of hap- pine's was consummated, however, the faithless lover had overcome her scruples and then cruolly shoved her into the street.
