ARRIVAL OF T1IE FUNERAL 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.

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 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

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,

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 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.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24.
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;

cotton market. Futures continued to attract.much
attention, and business in this line is good. Spots
are a shade firmer to-day, and the persistent stub

raise their bids. At the close to-day the market was

THE COTTON MARKET.
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-
