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 protracted sufferings, his unyielding fortitude, his example and his achievements, his life and the pathos of his death will forever illumine the pages of our history. For the fourth time the officer elected by the people and ordained by the Constitution to fill the vacancy so created is called to assume the Executive Chair. The wisdom of our fathers, foreseeing even the most dire possibilities, made sure that the Government should never be imperiled because of the uncertainty of human life. Men may die, but the fabrics of our free institutions remain unbroken. No higher nor more assuring proof could exist of the strength and permanency of popular government than the fact that, though the one 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 predecessor which found expression in his life, and the measures devised and suggested during his brief administration to correct abuses and enforce economy, to advance prosperity and to promote the general welfare, to insure domestic security, and to maintain the friendly and honorable relations with the nations of the earth, will be garnered in the hearts of the people; and it ARRIVED ON THURSDAY. AND IS Now Ready for Inspection. As our purchases will hereafter be exclusively for cash, we can only sell exclusively for cash, and the result will be that our patrons will receive bargains such as they never dreamed of before. It is common for advertisers to make such claims as this, without the slightest intention of fulfilling them, but we pledge ourselves to carry out to the letter everything that we promise. All Persons having accounts with us will please settle them forthwith. GOODMAN & RIMPAU, Center Street, - - ANAHEIM. Hippolyte Cahen, Selling Out. Notice. As I anticipate making some changes in my business, I will from this day sell all my stock of Drygoods at Cost. Being satisfied that the credit business is detrimental both to the merchant and consumer, I have positively resolved to stop it after the 1st day of September, 1881, and confine myself to a strictly cash basis. For this purpose I will sell goods at the lowest market rates possible, for Cash or Produce, and feel assured that it will be for the benefit of all parties. Thanking my customers for their liberal patronage in the past, I would respectfully solicit a continuance of the same in the future. All the noble aspirations of my lamented predecessor which found expression in his life, and the measures devised and suggested during his brief administration to correct abuses and enforce economy, to advance prosperity and to promote the general welfare, to insure domestic security, and to maintain the 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 his experience. Prosperity blesses our country. Our fiscal policy, as fixed by law, is well grounded and generally approved. No threatening issue mars our foreign intercourse, and the wisdom, integrity and thrift of our people may be trusted to continue undisturbed the present assured career of peace, tranquility and welfare. The gloom and anxiety which have surrounded the country must make repose especially welcome now. No demand for speedy legislation has been heard. No adequate occasion is apparent for an unusual session of Congress. The Constitution defines the powers and functions of the Executive as clearly as those of either of the other Departments of the Government, and he must answer for the just exercise of the discretion which it permits. Summoned to those high duties and responsibilities, and profoundly conscious of their magnitude and gravity, I assume the trust imposed by the Constitution, relying for aid on Divine guidance and on the virtue and intelligence of the American people. The Cabinet Resigns. CHICAGO, September 22d. — The Cabinet to-day, through Secretary Blaine, tendered their resignations to President Arthur, at the Cabinet meeting at the Capitol, after the President was sworn in. The act was accompanied by expressions of the warmest sentiments of personal regard, and the President was informed that the members of the Cabinet desired only to relieve him of all embarrassment, without regard to past political events. The President, without formality, said that he did not desire to accept the tendered resignations, and would esteem it a personal favor if they would continue in the discharge of their duties. The condition of the public business and the sensitivity of public men, in view of the recent great National bereavement, warranted him in asking this indulgence at their hands. Secretary Blaine answered the President that he could depend upon them to use their best efforts to tranquilize the country and aid him in the performance of his duties in the present trying hour. It is understood, however, that the resignations have not been formally declined or accepted, but the Cabi- As I participate making some changes in my business, I will from this day sell all my stock of Drygoods at Cost.

The amount of money which the Peruvian Government has received from the sale of guano is estimated at twenty-four hundred millions of dollars. All it has to show for this large sum are four or five railroads which have cost one hundred and fifty million lions. On the night the contract for the Oroya Railroad was signed Meiggs, the contractor, is said to have presented the will of the President of the republic with a hand some bouquet, concealed in which were bills to the amount of five hundred thousand dollars. A new lighthouse, in which the electric light is to be used, has lately been completed at Marseilles. The cost of the light seven times less than the coat of that which it will replace. The new lighthouse will be one of the finest on the French coasts. The light, which will be equal to 3,500 gas jets will be visible at a distance of twenty miles. GAZETTE. 1, 1881.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 23d.—The following has just been received from the Department of State, issued by order of the President of the United States of America: WHEREAS, Objects of interest to the United States require that the Senate should be convened at an early day, to act upon such communication as may be made to it on the part of the Executive, now, therefore, I, Chester A. Arthur, President of the United States, have considered it to be my duty to issue this proclamation, declaring that an extraordinary occasion requires that the Senate of the United States should convene for the transaction of business, at the Capital city, Washington, on Monday, the 10th day of October, at noon on that day. All who shall at that time be entitled to act as members of that body are required to take notice. Given under my hand and seal, etc. CHESTER A. ARTHUR, President. JAMES G. BLAINE, Secretary of State. Lieut. D. A. Lyle has eaten grasshoppers out West, and he lately read a paper before a Springfield science association praising them as food. Although they naturally have a disagreeable smell, he says that when cooked they become pleasant to both smell and taste, no disguise being required. They can be eaten after boiling two hours, with pepper and salt, and thus prepared are not easily distinguished from beef broth. Fried in their own oil they have a nutty flavor. One drawback to their use as food is the bones in the small locusts, though in the larger ones these can be easily removed. The first rain of the season fell on Wednesday night, and was followed by frequent showers yesterday. The Signal Service reported the fall to be twenty-five-hundredths of an inch for the twenty-four hours ending at 8 p.m. The storm was quite general, extending to the southern and middle tier counties, sections that are frequently neglected when moisture is dealt out. Rain in September is not unusual in California, although weather sharps who neglect to refresh their memories by a glance at a rainfall table are apt to assert that such is the case. Carefully kept records show that since 1849 there have been at least twenty Septembers marked by rainfall. It is not an absolute sign that showers in September will be followed by a moist winter. The September of 1876 had a total precipitation of 0.26, and yet the season was one of the dryest in the history of the State. In 1850 there was a fall of thirty-three-hundredths of an inch in September, and the total fall of the season was only 7.40 inches. There is some encouragement in the fact that the seasons of 1851, 1865 and 1878, all of them favorable to the agricultural interests, were preceded by good rains in September.—S. F. Chronicle, Sept. 23. The United States Consul at Maracaibo, Venezuela, writes that owing to locusta and drought the Goazira Indians are driven to desperation by hunger, and the Government has sent troops to protect the frontier settlements.

One drawback to their use as food is the bones in the small locusts, though in the larger ones these can be easily removed. Some residents of St. Louis have tried a dinner of these skilfully prepared, and liked it very well, and after becoming accustomed to the flavor they are considered a desirable addition to the bill of fare by some. These locusts feed on vegetable matter, and so may properly be classed as clean food. St. Louis, September 24.—At the Haddings coal mine, near West Belleville, Ill., yesterday afternoon, Maggie, the adopted daughter of John Holmes, 14 years of age, and Dickey Holmes his son, age 5 years, went about gathering coal. The boy went upon what is known as the slack pile, which is generally in a state of smoldering fire. He had reached about the middle of the heap when the smoldering mass caved in, enveloping the boy in its fiery embrace. Maggie, his sister, jumped in after the boy with a view to save him. She got him out, but not before his little body was burned almost to a crisp. But her own clothing caught fire, and she was frightfully burned. Her cries brought the miners to her assistance. The boy died last night, and it is believed the girl cannot live. CAMP THOMAS, Sept. 25th.—Reports from General Carr were received late last night from the Sanchez village at Cibicu. He says that he arrived there at 2 o'clock, and found the graves of those killed in the fight violated and the bodies horribly mutilated. The bodies were reburied and volleys fired over the graves by the command. A large amount of corn, melons and pumpkins were found at the Indian village, which were used by the troops. No hostiles were found except three old squaws who had been left behind. Companies G. Tupper, C. Craig, Sixth Cavalry, and Gatewood's scouts, have been sent to scout around the country about the mouth of Cibicu and Carriza creeks. McLellan's command found a strong fortification near White Mountain creek, which the hostiles had abandoned. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26th.—The opinion in the case of the People vs. Parks et al., better known as the "Slickens" case, was filed by the Supreme Court at a late hour this afternoon. The case was appealed from the Superior Court of Sacramento county, and involved the constitutionality of the act of the Legislature entitled "An act to province." April 23rd, 1880. The United States Consul at Maracaibo, Venezuela, writes that owing to locusts and drought the Goazira Indians are driven to desperation by hunger, and the Government has sent troops to protect the frontier settlements. Mothers come to the settlements with offers of their children for sale, saying, "We are dying of hunger." The Government is attempting relief, having decreed additional taxes and prohibited the exportation of all articles of food. In places the ground is covered with a thick layer of dead locusts. The people of Maracaibo are offering rewards for dead insects, and 8,000 pounds have been collected in one day. The drought has been so severe that the grass and crops are dried up. Cattle are dying and the rivers are without water. In Maracaibo, where they depend entirely upon rain for drinking water, great distress has been caused, the poorer classes being compelled to drink semi-saline water. The San Francisco Call of the 22d instant had the following item: Marks Mendelson commenced suit in the Superior Court yesterday against the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, to recover $10,000, alleged to have resulted from a violation of a passenger contract. Plaintiff alleges that he purchased a ticket entitling him to ride over defendants' road from this city to Anaheim. That when about thirty miles outside of Oakland he was wantonly and maliciously assaulted, beaten and insulted by defendants' agents and ejected from their cars. Plaintiff alleges that he is a merchant engaged in business at San Juan Capistrano, Los Angeles county, and that by reason of his detention he could not carry out certain business arrangements made, and thereby suffered special damages, in addition to grievous mental and bodily suffering, resulting from his public ejection from the cars of defendants. A Mr. Wright, who recently came to San Diego, now residing on Eleventh street, was shot late Thursday evening by his son, a young man about twenty years of age. It appears that the wounded man went home in a state of intoxication and threatened his wife and son with violence. A collision afterwards ensued between the father and son, when the latter fired a Smith & Wesson pistol, of 32 calibre, twice at his father, one of the balls taking effect in the right side, passing through the liver and wounding the right kidney. The wound is a very serious one and will probably prove fatal. Mr. Wm. Wright, brother of the wounded man, who lives in the next house, was at once summoned by his sister-in-law, and he went immediately to the scene of the trouble, where he found father and son in a struggle on a bed, the former being uppermost. After separating them, the father exclaimed of money which the Peruvian was received from the sale of rented at twenty-four hundred dollars. All it has to show for are four or five railroads, but one hundred and fifty mile night the contract for the first was signed Meiggs, the con- to have presented the wife of the republic with a hand-concealed in which were bills of five hundred thousand dollars. house, in which the electric house, has lately been completed. The cost of the light is less than the cost of that which the new lighthouse will be built on the French coasts. The will be equal to 2,500 gas jets, at a distance of twenty-seven mouth of Cibicu and Carriza creeks. McLellan's command found a strong fortification near White Mountain creek, which the hostiles had abandoned. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26th.—The opinion in the case of the People vs. Parks et al., better known as the "Slickens" case, was filed by the Supreme Court at a late hour this afternoon. The case was appealed from the Superior Court of Sacramento county, and involved the constitutionality of the act of the Legislature entitled "An act to promote drainage," passed April 23d, 1880, which is declared to be unconstitutional because it contravenes Section 24 of Article IV., of the Constitution, requiring that every act shall embrace but one subject, which shall be expressed in its title. The judgment of the Court below is therefore reversed. ELMIRA (N. Y.). September 25.—About 4:30 this afternoon there was a slight earthquake, and a hurricane followed. In the two minutes it lasted it unroofed the Rathbun House, carried the roof of the palace car shops several hundred feet over and beyond the freight buildings, lifted a man out of his buggy, blew holes in brick walls, snapped close to the ground large trees and toppled over the spires of churches. A delightful rainfall which succeeded damaged still further the unroofed and windowless houses. The presence of the phylloxera elsewhere has promoted the trade in Majorcan wine this year. The wine itself is of remarkable purity, and totally tree from all alcoholic additions and mixtures. It is of clear sherry or Marsala color, though not so strong as the wine sold under that name in the British market. It is considered to attain maturity in six years, and until it has reached that age it is not allowed to leave the cellar for public consumption. Like all other Majorcan wines, it is remarkable cheap, although the amount produced is necessarily limited. Siegismond Rabat, better known as Professor La Bat, committed suicide in San Diego by shooting himself. Vast and destructive grasshopper swarms have been ravaging parts of Turkey and of the Russian Caucasus. In the latter region 100,000 roulles were appropriated for distribution in the shape of rewards for the destruction of the larvae. In the region about Smyrna the entire population had to turn out for the destruction of the pests. In the district about Angora all shops were closed by proclamation of the Governor for three days, and the population was set to work in the fields. Besides this, prayers were offered in all the mosques, and every inhabitant was required to turn in to the Government a certain quantity of the larvae, to be burned in pits dug for the purpose. These grasshoppers, or locusts, are said to come from Persia. Texarkana lies partly within Arkansas and partly within Texas, with a broad street marking the boundary. It has two Mayors, and the State laws governing on one side have no binding force on the other. Arkansas made a severe enactment against the free sale of firearms, whereupon the hardware merchants moved their stores to the other side of the street, thus going into Texas, where the sale of revolvers, like their use, is free. The Arkansas Mayor issued a proclamation against the sale of liquor on Sunday, greatly to the advantage of the saloon men in Texas, until the vendors on the other side moved over and regained their customers. The Earl of Airhu, of Scotland, a member of the House of Lords, died suddenly of a congestive chill on Sunday night at Windsor Hotel, Denver City, Colorado.
