At 5:54 tlie train drew out of the depot, and slowly crossed the bridge to Alleghany Pity, where the car con taining the Cleveland committee was attached to the train. Along the line of the railroad, where it passed through West park, the tracks were covered with plants, in full bloom, and beautiful nnd ex pensive floral tributes. Weli.svii.le, O, September 21???The congressional caught up here with the funeral train, which was ???delayed by request of Mrs. Garfield that the coach in which she was riding should be placed in rear of the train.

Cleveland, September 21.???The train arrived at 1:3H p.m. Arrangements had all been completed /or tlie reception of the remains at the depot for an hour before it arrived, uml the casket was imme diately placed in a large hearse, which was mas sively drains! with mourning. It was drawn by four jet black horses with broadcloth neck and body blankets trimmed with deep silver fringe. Each horse was led by a colored groom. The first to nlight from the funeral train were General Sherman and stair. They formed Along the platform between which tlie immediate members of tlie family of tlie late president walked two by two to the carriages in waiting for them. Mrs Garfield, her son Harry and daughter Moilie first entered tliu carriages. As Mrs Garfield (Hissed down tin- platfonn leaning on the arm of her son and arcom)>ain<?d by Secretary Itlaine, every ???eye was upon her. she was closely veiled, but her face could be easily seen. Ilcrexpression was some what careworn but firm, and she exhibited remark- Aide fortitude ns she passed through the throngs of people about lhe depot. As soon as the remains had been dcimsited in the hearse the church bells ???commenced tolling and continued until the pro cession readied tlie nublir square. The escort from the depot to the pavilion in the square ???consisted of tlie Oriental Knights Templar of Cleve land, the Holy flood Poninmndery of Cleveland .and Columbia Commander}* Knights Templar, of Washington. Tlie dead president was a iiienilier of the Inttcrcomuiandcry. Besides these orgnni/Atlons, there were the Cleveland City Troops nnd several ???others. Four hundred members of the state militia were in attendance in the neighborhood ???of tlie depot, acting principally as guards. The ???crowd was very large, and extended for twoor three blocks in either direction from the station. Perfect ???order prevailed, however, every one ap|>enriiig to realize the solemnity of the occasion. The imme- -dinte members of tlie family took the first carriages and were followed by mcmlicrs of the cabinet. Ex-President Hayes occupied a carriage with ???Secretary Windom, with whom he walked from the ears arm in arm. Colonels Rockwell and Swnim, ???old friends of tlie deceased president, and who were -constantly with him throughout his illness, also oc cupied one carriage. Hr A V Boynton, the family physician, accompanied some of the ladies. Mrs Gar field did not go to the square, but was driven at once ???to the residence of Mr Mason, whose guest she will ???be while in the city. Colonel A F Rockwell, Judge Advocate General .Swnim, C O Rockwell, Colonel ???Corbin, Private Secretary Brown and others occu pied a carriage immediately after the members of the cabinet. Dr Power, pastor of the Christian ???church of Washington, iiccom]Hiiiftd the remains, a* did tlie delegation from Ohio. The congressional train arrived about fifteen minutes after tlie funeral train, and the joint committees ???of both houses of congress were promptly furnished with carriages and driven witli tlie procession to the puldic square. Mrs Garfield bore the jour ney extremely well and still maintains the remark- Able fortitude which she lias exhibited since her husband was wounded. Miss Moilie and Master Harry also bear up under the sorrow ???extremely well. During the time tlie funeral -cortege was passing over the route from the depot to the catafalque, which is situated in the public -square, there was little or no confusion. While tlie broad streets were literally packed with human .beings, nil seemed to lie in hearty sympathy with the mourners. After the body has been placed in ???tlie public square the gates will be thrown open and thousands of persons are now waiting to view the ???casket and floral decorations which will be per- knitted to pass through. It lias been determined not to expose the laxly. After the remains of tlie late president arrived at Monumental park, it was decided not to throw the ???gates open to tlie public to-day, inasmuch as ar rangements were nyt completed. Tlie pavilion was .finished during the afternoon, however, and the gates will be opened to-morrow. The pavilion is probably the finest temjmmry structure of its kind ???ever erected. It was designed by Architects Coburn and Bsimuni, and a largo force have been at work on at day or night since Tuesday. It is located on the tlie center of the square at the intersection of Supe rior and Ontario streets, and is forty feet square at tlie base. Four fronts are spanned by arches 36 feet high uml 2t feet wide at the liase. The catafalque upon which the casket will rest is 5% feet high ???covered with black velvet and handsomely festooned. A long carpeted walk ascends to tlie floor from the cast and west /routs. The pavilon is seventy-five feet high to the npox of the roof. From the center of the roof rises a beautiful gilt sphere, supporting the figure ???of an angel twenty-four feet high. The columns At eaeli side of the arches are ornamented with .???shields of beautiful design, and exquisitely draped ???over these are suspended unfurled flags. The ecu ters of the arches boar similar shields. On the ???angles of the roof are groups of furled flags. Projecting from the angles of the base are elevated platforms, to be occupied by fully uniformed guards. Each platfonn will be provided with a suitable piece of field artillery The stntcture is appropriately decorated from base to dome with black and white crape. Flowers and .flags will be displayed in various portions of the pavilon. Tlie interior is beautified with rare plants and ???choice flowers and exquisite floral designs, two car Toads of which are from Cincinnati. It is a mag nificent piece of work both in design and execu tion. The east mid west entrances to Monumental -park are heavy gothic arches with drives and with heads reverently bowed. Slowly tlie procession took up its march down the avenue. As the column, headed by three platoons of police, started from the Euclid avenue station, the St. Paul church bell com menced tolling. Other churches along the line followed and added to the solemnity of the march. Cleveland, September 2t.???President Garfield???s mother arrived In this city yesterday, and is at the home of Governor Sheldon. The late president's sisters, Mrs I-arabec and Mrs Trowbridge and two little sons of tlie president, will also stop at Governor Sheldon's. talncd by medical men as to the propriety of the treatment iu certain respects. I can not believe that one intelligent surgeon will hereafter think that at any period in the progress of the case the ball or the fragments bone which it sent before it could have been speedy death. Viewing the case in the light our present knowledge, I am prepared to affirm that surgery has no resources by which the fatal result could have been averted. This was the sad consolation which 1 felt justified in giving to the grief-stricken wife and family, and which all my associates believe we can give to an afflicted people.??? The Preparations to Join In the Bar of N'attooal Ills Loss Home. THE CEMETERY WHERE GARFIELD IS TO LIE. Cleveland, September 24.???I-akeview cemetery, where President Garfield???s remains will be laid to rest embraces three hundred acres on the sooth side of Euclid avenue, just beyond the eastern limit of Cleveland, five miles from the business center of the city. On the other side of the avenue is Wade pork, and in close proximity the site where the new Western Heserve university buildings are being erected. Nature seems to have designed the spot for tlie purpose to which it has been devoted, and all whioh art and money could do to enhance iu natural beauties has been done. The grounds, wued by an incorporated association of Cleveland gentlemen of wealth and refinement,is incorporated under the law which requires all gains or profits from the sale of loLs or otherwise be appropriated to tlie ficrpctuiil adornment and repair of the ceme tery. Tlie land purchased ten years ago was laid off by n landscape designer and engineer selected for eminence in their professions. Wooded hills, grassy vales, secluded nooks, winding drives, sinuous alks, running brooks and quiet lakes are the con spicuous landmarks. The association adopted a plan different from any other cemetery, and i: is ex pressed tersely in the original prospectus in the fol lowing language: ???The feeling is growing in the public mind that burials should lie made where the quiet re|x>se of the dead may lie assured forever. The human heart clings to the g rave of its departed hopes, and seeks consolation in rearing monuments and em blems of beauty over the remains of its loved ones. This can lie fitly done, not in the tumultuous din of cities, but amid the green verdure, under the blessed and cheerful light of heaven, where the harmonious and ever changing face of nature re minds ns, by its resuscitating influence, that to die is to live again.??? With this sentiment prompting the plans, the cemetery lias become in beauty and tasteful adorn ment, the rival of the most celebrated cemetery of tlie world, and in ??ie air of retired and restful loveliness of an inexpressible nearness to nature and withdraws from the world not found elsewhere. The great object of the association was to provide a resting place for the departed, free from the gloom of the tomb, fc and from which should be banished everything suggestive of awful ness iu death. No fence, either iron ot wood, no coping or curbing of brick or stone, no hedge, wooden trellis, posLs and chains or anything to make an inclosure is permitted. Head and foot boards are prohibited, headstones are not allowed exceeding fourteen inches in height. Thus the cemetery rather resembles a vast well-kept park, with stately shafts and modest'or omnte vaults, in lieu of statuary and structures. President Garfield loved to stroll in this cemetery: it was his ideal of a flue earthly resting place. The Fatal Wound, ONE OF THE DOCTORS GOES INTO DETAIL OVER THE AUTOPSY. New York, September 24.???Dr Hamilton to-day in conversation, dictated the following: ???The ball entered tlie inter-vertebral space in the right side, between the last dorsal and the first lumbar verte bra, at a point very near the transverse and oblique processes: that is obliquely from behind. It passed a little downward and forward, penetrating the body of the first lumbar vertebra; escaped from the vertebra very near the middle in front, and was found a little to the left of the body of the vertebra, lying under thelower margin of the pancreas and nearer its posterior or dorsal aspect than interior, liehind the peritoneum, and therefore outside the cavity of the belly. The ball was en cysted, completely surrounded by a firm capsule, which invested it entirely and closely, the capsule containing nothing but the ball. Perhaps a grain or two of white tenneious substance attached to oiic (mint of Its inner surface which was not easily re moved by the edge of the knife, and which may be found under the miscroscope to consist of a drop of desslcated pus, or it may prove to be the leaden stain occasioned by the oxidation of the surface of the ball. It also contained a small fragment of black material, perhaps three-quarters of an inch in length and an eighth of an inch in breadth which under the microscope may prove to be a piece of cloth, but the exact character of which has not yet been determined. ???Perhaps distant one or two inches, and in this neighborhood there could be felt distinctly tinder the finger innumerable small substances, like grains of sand, of greater or less magnitude, which have not yet been submitted to microscopical exam ination, but which were supposed to be minute fragments of liono tom away from the broken ver tebra mid thus widely disseminated in the adjacent tissues. Tlie blood sue was behind the peritoneum but the untopsy revealed that it had rup tured into the cavity of the peritoneum, probably just beforcitne occurrence ot death, and at least a pint of bl<xxl coagulated was found in the peritonei cavity. The abscess spoken of in the official reyiort of the autopsy was not in this region precisely, but some what more to the right, between the liver and transverse colon. No connection wasjdiscovercd between this and the external wound made by the bullet, and there are no means of knowing whether it communicated with the original track at some earlier fioriod in the history of the case or not. It may have do: e so, and become subse quently closed, or it may have been the result of the extension of inflammation from the original track to the adjacent tissues. There was no lesion of the liver, recent or ancient, indicated in the autopsy. ???It is evident from this account that the pres ence of the ball in the situation in which it was found mils not the immediate cause of death, as it was completely encysted, and must have long since ceased to cause irritation. The small fragments of bone and the great lesioil of the lumbar veretbra are the pathological facts which alone could en danger the imtient???s life. This lesion of the verte bra the surgeons had no means of repairing, nor could it have been repaired save by the process of nature. The small fragments of bone, if they should prove to be such, widely disseminating in the adja cent tissues, certainly could not have been removed by any surgical operation. It was determined by the autopsy that the necessity did not exist for re moving the bail, or, in other words, that had there been no other lesion it might have been carried for many years without causing death or even incon venience. Still, it may be proper to inquire whether by a surgical operation the bullet could have been saiely removed. If it had been arrested by the spine, or even lodged in the -sub stance of the spinal column, possibly with a bold and very extensive dissection it might havt been safely reached and extracted. It is question able, however, whether the history of surgery fur nishes any example of success under the cireum- openings for foot passengers on each side. Thev I stances now supposed. But the fact is that the bullet Are situated a sufficient distance from the ! taYCIsed ,* h ?!S ln f e T d . , . . , , l tance removed from it. Passing miraculously oatalfalquc to appear of be a part of j through various vital structures which sur- it. The eastern one is covered with crape, with white I round th ???anterior and lateral walls of the And^lackltrimmingsrunninground the column ???{*??? ^?? f of thC its Spi rfd?? pairing And the top border with blue and white stars. Added toward the interior of the belly are literally covered to these are several golden shields. The western .???gateway of a similar construction, and seems fairly to close Superior street. On tlie extreme outside x-illsrs are the names of the states in black letters. "The north and south approaches are stately ???gateways, being bnit with bas-reliefs draped in white with one large central arch, and heavy posts on cither side. Surrounding all appear large golden eagles and other appropriate designs. The catafalque is the great temporary monument ???of at???mction. The car in??? which the casket was brought was filled with flowers, which almost hid the coffin from sight. The coffin was wrapped in a large flag and iu triple folds of fine crape. Upon it were a few white flowers and some large grten leaves. It was borne from the track by ten United States ar tillerymen who wore white helmets, who, with by important blood-vessels, arteries and veins, the most important nerves of the body, including the sympathetic or ganglionic system ot nerves, also the nerves of common sensation and motion, and by sympathv including the great thoracic duct through which nutrition from the elimeutary canal is con veyed to the heart. The injury of al most any one of the foregoing, excepting the nerves of common sensation and motion would inevitably destroy life, and in the mid: of this plexus of arteries, veins und 1 lymphatics the surgeon would have had to carry his knife in search of a ball, the situation of which has only been re vealed by the autopsy. There were no possible means of knowing the situation of the ball during life, as it gave no indications of its presence: nor aould it possibly have been reached and recognized by any form of surgical probe. That death would have been immediate, and the inevitable result of any such daring adventure is almost absolutely ??????ertatn. However much we. individually or col lectively, may have made ourselves liable to just criticism in the matter of diagnosis or prognosis, and whatever doubts may be enter- To-moirow will doubtless be observed in Atlanta no day has been observed for years. That the Garfield memorial exercises will he observed and participated iu by nearly every citizen in Atlanta there cannot be the slightest doubt in the minds of those who are acquainted with the work of the committee having the affair in charge. When the memorial was first contemplated by ecur de Leon commander}', it was intended that the KnightsTemplaraloue should participate iu the exercises, but the people of Atlanta could counte nance nothing so selfish, and immediately after it was announced the knights were readily induced to invite the public generally to participate with them in this, the lost honor to the man who lias the undivided love of the country. As soon as the knights ascertained that the citi zens of Athiuta desired to take part iu the memo rial, invitations were gladly extended by the com mandeer, which has been greatly pleased at the vast proportions their memorial has assumed. The committee of arrangements composed of Em Sir A G Howard. Chairman: Sir A "T Thompson, Em Sir C T Watson, K Em Sir W D Luckic, sir J W English. Sir M McBiruey, Rev Sir N Keff Smith and Mr E DeGive (ably represented by M J H Morgan), then went to work with a will to make a grand success of their memorial, and their success is unprecedented. The memorial met with the favor of the legisla ture, and in the state senate yesterday Senator S M Byrd, of the thirty-eighth district, introduced the following restitution which was adopted by both the senate and the house: Whereas, The president of the United States has, by proclamation, recommended the people of nil the states to observe Monday, the 26th day of Sep tember, 1881, us a day of humiliation and mounting in honor of the late president of the United States, ho is to be buried on that day: And, whereas, The governor of Georgia has, in accordance with the proclamation of the president, issued his proclamation recommending the people of Georgia to observe said day iu the manner afore said; Therefore, resolved by the senate and house of representatives, in general assembly met. That a committee of three mmi the senate and five from the house be appointed to make arrangements for religious exercises to be held in the hull of the house of representatives at 11 o???clock a m on that day, and that both houses meet in their respective halls at 10 o???clock a m on that day, and stand ad journed for the day in respect to the memory of the deceased president. In accordance with the resolution a joint com mittee composed of Senators S M H Byrd, chairman, J II Hicks, T J Smith, and Representatives L M Lniunr, chairman, J W Turner, W I.

Washington, September 22.???President Arthur has just taken the oath of office in the marble room the capitol, in the presence of the members of the cabinet, justices of the supreme court, und a few senators and members of the house of representa tives, all who could be notified this morning to be present. Also, General Sherman, General Grant, Rear Admiral Nichols, Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, General Beale, and a few others. Forty persons in all were present at the time the oath was taken. This step was taken after a conference held about an hour since between the president. Secretary Blaine, and the attorney general. Very few per sons knew the oath was to be administered until the ceremony was over. the OATlt ADMINLs*TERF.D. The president and members of the cabinet assem bled iu the marble room shortly before 12 o???clock. few minutes before 12. Chief Justice Waite, in his full robes of office, nccommnied by the associate justices, proceeded from thesupreme court room to the marble rooni.The doors were immediately closed, and without any formality President Arthur arose, aud stamlingupon one sine of the center table, and Chief Justice Waite on the other, took the oath of office. The president???s manner was calm and com- ; josed, nnd his response, ???so held me God,??? was in a inn tone, and without a tremor. The president then read from manuscript notes the following ad dress: The Inaugural Address. For the fourth time in the history of the republic, its chief magistrate has been removed by death. All hearts are filled with grief and horror at the hideous crime which has darkened our land, and the memory of the murdered president, his pro tracted sufferings, his unyielding fortitude, the ex ample and achievements of his life and the (nithos 'Of his death will forever illume the pages of our history. For the fourth time the officer elected by the people and ordaiued by the constitu tion to nil a vacancy so created is called on to assume the duties of the executive hair. The wisdom of our fathers in foreseeing even the most dire possibilities, made sure that the gov ernment should never be imperilled because of the KtirCertainty of human life. Men may die, but the fabric of our free institutions remains unshaken. No higher or more assuring proof could exist of the strci.gth and permanence of a popular government than the fact that though the chosen of the people be struck down, his constitutional successor is peacefully installed without shock or strain, except the sorrow which mourns the bereavement. All the noble aspirations of my lamented prede cessor which found expression in his life in the measures devised and suggested during his brief administration to correct the abuses und enforce economy, to advance prosperity nnd promote the general welfare, to ensure domestic security nnd maintain friendly and honorable relations with the nations of the earth, will be garnered in the hearts of the people, and it will be my earnest endeavor to profit, and to see that the nation shall profit, by his example and experience, and that prosperity blesses our country. Onr fiscal policy is fixed by law. It is well grounded and generally approved; threatening issue mars our foreign intercourse; and the wisdom, integrity nnd thrift of our people may lie trusted to continue undisturbed the ores- ent assured career of peace tranquillity aud welfare. The gloom nnd anxiety which have enshrouded tlie country must make repose especially welcome now. No demand for speedy legislation has been heard; o adequate occasion is apparent for unusnal session of congress. The con stitution defines the functions and lowers of the executive as clearly as those of either of he other two departments of the government nnd he must answer for the just exercise of the discre tion it permits and the performance of the duties it imposes. Summoned to the high duty and responsibility nnd irofoundly conscious of tlicir magnitude and gmv- ty, I assume the trust imposed by the constitution relying for aid on Divine guidance and the vir tue, patriotism and intelligence of the American people.

The opera house will be crowded to a greater ex tent than ever before, and only a limited number of ladies, and gentlemen accompanying ladies, will be admitted to the parquette and dress circle, until the organizations in the procession have been seat ed. The second gallery will be reserved for the color ed people, but will not be open until the arrival of the procession, when the colored military, and other organizations will be admitted first. Lieutenant-Colonel John Hamilton, of the United States army, aided by Lieutenant E R Hills and Captain J W Lauderdale, will have command of the line of match. This will be the biggest procession Atlanta has had in many days, and the solemn occasion renders it necessary that the citizens should extend every aid to the Knights Templar committee who have worked so zealously to make it a success. No section of the union has shown its love for its ruler to greater extent than the south, and it is to be hoped that all Atlanta will join in this the last tribute to the memory of the dead president. The following order emanating from the commit tee of arrangements is published by request: Atlanta, September 24.???Members of the general assembly, and officials of the state, and government departmens, are invited to participate in the parade and services. Organizations, desiring to participate, which have not received their invitations, will report to Colonel Hamilton, who will assign them positions. Clergy men and invited guests will be assigned seats on the stage. A G Howard, Chairman. A SECOND SWEARING SIMMONS??? LIVER REGULATOR.

New York???The cotton market was quiet to-day and no demonstrations of excitement were exhib ited. At the opening of business futures were steady and some higher, and during the morning developed a firm tone, without, however, affecting quotations much. In the afternoon the market re mained quiet nud moved under very moderate fluc tuations. At the close futures were a little below opening figures, but still a fraction ahead of the closing quotations of yesterday; tone barely steady. The spot market shows some improvement, and the advance during the day brought middling up to 1115-lfie Net receipts to-day 15.S7G bales, against 21,78S bales last year; exports 10,182bales; last year 4,334 bales; stock 317,416 bales; last year 261,518 bales.

CONSTITUTION OFFICE, Atlanta, September 24,1881 THE WEEK???S REVIEW???FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23. New York???The cotton market has displayed very little animation this week, and a quiet and steady tone has generally prevailed. The feeling during the early part of the week was somewhat depressed, and a downward tendency prevailed up to Tuesday??? close, After this the market reacted and the ad- va nee which followed continued iip to the close to day, though no material change in quotations has been established, the months being only a few points above the prices of a week ago. The death of the president cast a gloom over the whole coun try, and business was temporarily affected. But the cotton market has not suffered a relapse as many supposed; on the contrary, it seems to have steadily gained in strength and figures. This action of the market, however, may be attributed to othercauses, Wall street, it is repored, is growing uneasy in conse quence of the shortness of the crop, and is more in clined to ???reverse her judgment??? To say the least of it, the cotton market is yet unsettled, and ils fu ture is still in a veil of darkness. We are informed that fifty-seven members of the New York cotton exchange estimates the crop at 5,990,000 bales, the extremes being 5,250,000 and 6,500,000 bales. As the exchange is thoroughly posted in all the particulars relating to the condition of the crop, these figures may be regarded as about correct. Net receipts for the week ending to-day 109,939 bales, against 91,-596 bales last week and against 136,188bales for the corresponding week last year, hence we see that, while considerably ahead of last week, receipls are rapidly decreasing as compared with last year, and in a short time will fail greatly behind; exports for the week 42,758 bales; same time last year51,112bales; stock 312,297 bales; same time last year 255,583 bales. The local cotton market during the past week was void of any manifestations of excitement. The ex change, however, was well attended, and specula tors were, liberal in their deals. The spot market has been usually quiet and steady. The inquiry has been good, but holders were extravagant in their demands, and hence sales weresomewhatcurtailed. The tone of the market Is a shade firmer, and should New York advance further better prices will be ob- 11,968 Total 5,268 Stock on hand 6,700 The following is our comparative statement: Receipts to-day. 720 Same day lust year 1,116 Showing a decrease of. 396 Receipts since September 1 10,859 Same time last year 13,906 Showing a decrease of. 3,047 By Telegraph.
