WEEKLY GAZETTE. County Official Paper. SATURDAY...OCTOBER 1, 1881 A NATION IN MOURNING. THE FUNERAL OF PRESIDENT GARFIELD. The Observance of the Sad Day in Anaheim — An Eloquent Eulogy — Resolutions of Respect — The Day Elsewhere. Had a stranger, with no knowledge of the stirring and melancholy events which for months have occupied the minds and thoughts of the people of nearly the whole civilized world, been placed upon the streets of Anaheim on Monday morning, he would at once have seen from the all-pervading quietness, the complete cessation of all business, the trappings of woe which draped every door and window, that the people mourned the death of no common man, but of one who, by his rank, or ability, or humanity, had endeared himself to rich and poor, gentle and simple. He would have known, from his surroundings, that the mourning was sincere, that the sorrow was the genuine expression of a people fully aware that Death had robbed them of one who, had he been spared, would have done much for the good of his fellow-man. Many members of the various secret orders represented here went to Los Angeles to take part in the impressive ceremonies which took place in that city. There was, therefore, no public demonstration, unless the services in the churches can be called so. These services were peculiarly impressive. At 11 o'clock in the morning—the hour corresponding to that fixed upon for the interment at Cleveland, Ohio—the Presbyterian church was filled with people. The-pulpit and other prominent objects in the church bore mourning drapery, and wreaths of evergreens and Marechal Neil roses were placed with great taste. On the wall, back of the pulpit, was of God and of their country. Place against the prayers of these people the daily supplications of the thousands and thousands of earnest, sincere Christians, asking that God in his mercy would spare our President, and having faith in His power to do so, if it pleased Him. The question arises: Did God listen to the prayers of those who asked for Garfield's death? Is there anybody—be he a believer in the efficacy of prayer or not—who will say that God listens to prayers offered up with malice, or that such supplications are acceptable to him? It is probable that to-day, continued the speaker, there is a greater number of people gathered together to mourn the fallen chief and make humble acknowledgment of the power and wisdom of God, than was ever gathered together for any purpose in any period of the history of this Republic. This shows that we are a Christian people; that the great mass of our citizens do indeed believe in God. It is time that we acknowledged God as the ruler of the Nation. "Cast into hell are all the nations that forget God," says the Bible, and as we look over the history of nations we see the evidence of the truth of the prophecy. Whenever a nation has forgotten God, thrown Him aside, disobeyed His injunctions, then came tribulation and disaster. The pages of history teem with instances of the kind. But, in the words of our Governor, "A true Republic, with the blessing of God, can never die." At the conclusion of Mr. Robertson's address, Rev. Mr. Emery delivered a short and eloquent eulogy on the dead President, and the following hymn was sung: It is the Lord—enthroned in light, Whose claims are all divine, Who has an undisputed right To govern me and mine. It is the Lord—who gives me all— My wealth, my friends, my ease; And of his bounties may recall Whatever part he please. It is the Lord—my covenant God, Thrice blessed be his name; Whose gracious promise, sealed with blood, Must ever be the same. Can I, with hopes so firmly built, Be sullen or repine? No! gracious God, take what thou wilt, To thee I all resign. Rev. Mr. Staehli pronounced the benediction, and the audience dispersed. represented here went to Los Angeles to take part in the impressive ceremonies which took place in that city. There was, therefore, no public demonstration, unless the services in the churches can be called so. These services were peculiarly impressive. At 11 o'clock in the morning—the hour corresponding to that fixed upon for the interment at Cleveland, Ohio—the Presbyterian church was filled with people. The-pulpit and other prominent objects in the church bore mourning drapery, and wreaths of evergreens and Marechal Neil roses were placed with great taste. On the wall, back of the pulpit, was the floral letter "G" surmounted by the stars and stripes, draped. On the platform with Rev. Mr. Robertson, pastor of the church, were Revs. J. A. Emery, R. Staehle and W. Schuldt. It had been announced that the two latter named gentlemen would conduct services in German, but this idea was abandoned owing to the lateness of the hour at which the regular services were concluded. The services began with the singing of the following hymn: Come, Holy Spirit! 'calm my mind, And fit me to approach my God; Remove each vain, each worldly thought, And lead me to thy blest abode. Host thou imparted to my soul A living spark of holy fire! Oh! kindle now the sacred flame; Make me to burn with pure desire. A brighter faith and hope impart, And let me now my Saviour see; Oh! soothe and cheer my burdened heart, And bid my spirit rest in thee. After an appropriate invocation by the pastor, Mr. Emery read from the 60th Psalm: O God thou hast cast us off, thou hast scattered us, thou hast been displeased; O turn thyself to us again. Thou hast made the earth to tremble; thou hast broken it; heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. Thou hast shewed thy people hard things; thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because of the truth. That thy beloved may be delivered; save with thy right hand, and hear me. Give us help from trouble, for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies. The congregation then united in singing the following: Why, O God! thy people spurn? Why permit thy wrath to burn! God of mercy! turn once more, All our broken hearts restore. Thou hast made our land to quake, Heal the sorrows thou dost make; Bitter is the cup we drink, Suffer not our souls to sink. Be thy banner now unfurled, Show thy truth to all the world; Save us, Lord, we cry to thee, Lift thine arm—thy chosen free. Give us now relief from pain. Human aid is all in vain: We, through God, shall yet prevail, He will help, when foes assail. Further selections from Scripture were read and then the following hymn was sung: See gracious God, before thy throne, Thy mourning people bend! Tis on thy sovereign grace alone, Our humble hopes depend. Alarming judgments from thy hand, Thy dreadful power display; Yet mercy spares this guilty land, And yet we live to pray. Who has an undisputed right To govern me and mine. It is the Lord who gives me all— My wealth, my friends, my ease; And of his boundies may recall Whatever part he please. It is the Lord—my covenant God, Thrice blessed be his name; Whose gracious promise, sealed with blood, Must ever be the same. Can I, with hopes so firmly built, Be sullen or repine? No! gracious God, take what thou wilt. To thee I all resign. Rev. Mr. Staehli pronounced the benediction, and the audience dispersed. At the Episcopal Church The beautiful interior of St. Michael's church was most elaborately draped with mourning cloth and a profusion of beautiful roses and evergreens. A large and attentive audience was present, and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon the services began. The impressive burial service of the church was read by the pastor, Rev. J. A. Emery, and in addition the following special prayer which Bishop Kip required should be read in all the churches of his diocese: Almighty God, Who hast told us that Thou dost not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men, look down in mercy upon us now prostrate ourselves before Thee. In Thy wise providence Thou hast seen fit to bring distress upon our land and visit us with sorrow. And now, as a united people, we come before Thee to acknowledge Thy hand; and confessing our sins, to entreat Thy forgiveness. May we learn the lesson of the instability of all earthly things and our entire dependence upon Thee. May the precepts of Thy Gospel rule in our councils and mark us as a Christian Nation. Look upon those who are to govern this people. May they have wisdom to fit them for their high responsibilities. Direct and prosper all their consultations to the advancement of Thy glory, the good of Thy church, the safety, honor and welfare of Thy people, that all things may be so ordered and settled by their endeavors upon the best and surest foundations, that peace and happiness, truth and justice, religion and piety may be established among us for all generations. And oh, Thou Who hast proclaimed Thyself the God of the fatherless and the widow, look, we beseech Thee, upon the sorrow of the family which Thou hast bereaved of its head. Remember them, O Lord, in mercy; sanctify to them this fearful blow; endue their souls with patience under this severe affliction and resignation to Thy blessed will; comfort them with a sense of Thy goodness; lift up the light of Thy countenance upon them; and give them peace. All of which we ask in the name and through the merits of Thy Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen. Mr. Emery then delivered a sermon, which so warmly has it been commended, we publish entire. We think our readers will agree with us in pronouncing it the most eloquent eulogy of the dead President which has yet been published. MR. EMERY'S ADDRESS. ISAIAH XXII, 5.—For it is a day of trouble, and of treading by the Lord God of Hosts in the valley of vision. It is a day of trouble, and of treading Mr. Robertson delivered an appropriate address, which being given extemporaneously, we can only give a brief outline of his remarks. He began his discourse by alluding to the proclamation of the Governor setting apart the day as a day of prayer and mourning, and said that it was fit that the injunction of the Governor be obeyed and that the people should assemble together and humble themselves before God in this time of affliction, and ask Him to spare us from further calamities. Think for a moment what an unparalleled thing has happened. Our President, stricken suddenly down by the hand of an assassin while the people were just beginning to rejoice at having at the helm of government a man who would guide us in the paths of honor, peace and prosperity. If there is one ray of light in the cloud, it was that the murder was the individual act of Guiteau, that there was no conspiracy—that, in fact, he stood alone in the conception and commission of his atrocious crime. In speaking of the prayers which had been offered for the recovery of the President, Mr. Robertson said that it was a fact not generally known that there was a certain class of people in the United States who were to-day rejoicing over Garfield’s death, and who, while he was yet alive, daily offered up prayers in their churches that he would not recover. The speaker asserted as a fact that the Mormons had done this—their provocation being that the President had, in his inaugural address, condemned their polygamous creed, and they feared that he would find means to compel them to discard their offensive practices and conform to the laws Mr. Emery then delivered a sermon, which, so warmly has it been commended, we publish entire. We think our readers will agree with us in pronouncing it the most eloquent eulogy of the dead President which has yet been published. MR. EMERY’S ADDRESS. ISAIAH XXII, 5.—For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord God of Hosts in the valley of vision. It is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity by the Lord God of Hosts in the valley of visions; for in that valley have we, as a nation, been walking these many years, trusting in our wealth, our boundless resources, our manifest destiny, and forgetting that the Lord, He is God. The late civil war settled once and forever the question whether the Union was a Confederacy of States, or a Nation; it settled once and forever the question of slavery which had been so long a threatening, disturbing element in our national politics. On these two questions two sections of the country had long been divided. All other resources having failed, the appeal was carried to the God of battles; and it was then that the world gained a truer insight into our national character. We had been stigmatized a nation of traders who cared for nothing but gain; but the world looked on in wonder as for more than four years the North and the South poured forth their richest treasures as water, offered up the noblest of their sons, and the accumulated wealth of years, for a principle. Out of that fiery struggle and from that crucial test, we should have issued purified. After such a contest, where the grim reaper, Death, had entered so many households, where so many thousands had offered their lives for the cause, how potent were the reasons that should have led us as a Nation to turn unto the Lord. But in place thereof we turned into the valley of visions, and for years have wandered from the narrow path of virtue, honesty and godliness in which Nations as well as individuals should walk. Many causes led to this. There were nearly a million men in the two armies who, for more than four years, had lived the stirring life of the camp and battlefield, and had become These were great tasks of thus studied work been before the days of the Nazi era who, at a time when were covering had been in high from stain, had charge by his party strife was gotten that he man, and had no stricken an unfit been held as one in the House or political economy recognized lead until the State euteen years after him in the high when at Chicago after a long and James A.

There was no new war in which they could engage; they were restless, eager for change, ready to undertake anything that promised excitement. The vast expenditures of the Government during the long struggle had habituated men to the expenditures of large sums. The great accumulations of wealth in the hands of private individuals during that period had led to an extravagance of living hitherto unknown in the history of the Republic, and to speculations on a gigantic scale—and speculation furnished the excitement so many craved. There have been few great wars that have not been attended with great corruptions; this was not an exception, and at its close public and private morals seemed alike tainted. The increase in the percentage of divorces since 1860 is appalling; the increase of crimes is alarming. The standard of morality was lowered in business circles, in private circles, in politics. Theermine itself was smirched, and justice for a time seemed blinded. Men in public offices, or in positions of trust, appropriated funds with hardly an effort to conceal their acts; certain Judges on the bench were said to belong to this or that corporation; human life was held in low estimation, and the plea of emotional insanity was repeatedly and successfully employed to shield the man-slayer. Positions of highest honor and trust in the gift of the people were held as exceptional opportunities for gaining wealth. The actions of the Erie and Tweed rings, of Black Friday, of the Credit Mobilier, of the Belknap scandal and the post-traderships, are chapters of that period which no true American can recall without a blush. The panic of '72-3 served as a temporary check. With the hard times, economy was practiced from necessity both in public and private affairs. Men took time to think. Earnest efforts were made to reform existing evils, and gradually the Nation awoke to a partial consciousness of how great those evils were. Thoughtful men saw dangers ahead as threatening to our national honor and safety as those that had been so recently passed, and the voices of many were raised to point these out. But the rush of returning prosperity drowned for a time these warnings, and we still walked in the yellow fields. To-day fifty millions of people, regardless of politics, are bowled in grief, and the nations of the world stand by in silence offering their hearty sympathy to a sister nation in affliction. Thus have they stood for the long weeks that the fierce fight between life and death was going on, while other subjects have lost their wonted interest in the one absorbing anxiety for the latest news of the wounded chief. President Garfield was a man of the people, and many of those who had long wished for one to be at the head of public affairs who was strong enough and able enough to effect the reforms most urgently needed, felt that he was especially fitted for the high position to which he had been chosen. We had begun to realize how necessary reform was, how great our dangers; but we looked to a human leader to extricate us from them, and felt that we had him in our chief magistrate. As a scholar he had few equals in the National Assembly, of which for nearly twenty years he had been a member. As a reader he was as omniverous as Macauley, and he possessed an almost equally retentive memory. His range of information was extensive, and his grasp of all the great questions of the day was statesmaulike and profound. His experience had been varied. His early life was one of poverty and hardships, of real struggle to win an education. In this he was eminently successful, graduating with honor at Williams College. Soon after he was elected President of the Western Reserve Institute, and continued at its head until the war broke out, though in 1859 he was elected to the Senate of Ohio, and was thus compelled to divide his time and labors. His army life was brief, but highly creditable—he won his rank as Major-General of volunteers, it was not obtained through political influence. His public life embraced the period of some of the most important events of our history. He was elected Representative from the Nineteenth District in 1863, and was repeatedly returned from that district during the turbulent term of Johnson's administration—the stormy days of reconstruction, and when the questions of resumption-of specie payments and the financial honor of the country were the vital ones of the day. His congressional career was marked by steady progress from the first healing influence and soften the shock. dreaded the future, we doubted the power of God to preserve the nation, we manded that this precious life be spared. God in reply has shown us, that the fate our country hangs upon no one man's hand no matter how that man be loved and borne, or how precious his life may be. For weeks we have had set before us daily example of manly endurance, of heroic fortitude, of christian patience and resignation. and I may add of womanly devotion to tenderness. We have seen one who in prime of life, when he had but just attained the highest eminence in the gift of country, who was conscious of his own powers, and had an honorable ambition: use those powers for his country's best glove—lie quiet, bearing pain without a murmur surrendering himself into His Maker's hand content to live or die, as seemed good to God. We have seen a wife, herself harmed from an almost fatal illness, getting self, and showing to the world qualities of a devoted wife, of a self-trained and loving woman, such as has been seldom seen. The veil of privacy has been lifted from that family in these days; sorrow, and few men or women in this land but have had higher, nobler, thoughts their minds as they have gazed on their picture of a christian home. We have stood afar off and watched with tender solicitude, and our hearts have been wrinkled with agony, as we have seen him we love and who but a few days since was the fate of manly health and vigor, emerge from one crisis after another, always weaker than alas always with some new complication; render recovery less probable, but also patient and always brave. We have waived and prayed, until it seemed cruel to pay for longer life that entailed so much suffering; until while almost despairing for his future, and dreading the evil that his deform might bring, old words well nigh forgot were brought to mind,and a still,small vew seemed to say: "Hast thou not known," thou not heard that the everlasting God Lord,the Creator of the earth fainteth neither is weary. Even the youths saint faint and be weary,and the young men saint utterly fall. But they that wait upon Lord shall renew their strength; they saint mount up with wings as eagles; they saint run and not be weary; they shall wail and not faint."

Men took time to think. Earnest efforts were made to reform existing evils, and gradually the Nation awoke to a partial consciousness of how great those evils were. Thoughtful men saw dangers ahead as threaten-ing to our national honor and safety as those that had been so recently passed, and the voices of many were raised to point these out. But the rush of returning prosperity drowned for a time those warnings, and we still walked on in the valley of visions. Wealth was pouring into the country from every side, and our resources seemed boundless. The crops of every kind were enormous, the balance of trade largely in our favor, the debt rapidly diminishing, the population increasing at an unprecedented rate—we were boastful of our prosperity and of our strength. Once again those who had seen the dangers that threatened spoke out, and refused to be silent. They called the mighty power of the press to their aid, and gradually men were led to consider these dangers. The religious press pointed out the increase of crime and the descent of the standard of morality since the days when we as a Nation were known as a God-fearing people—and this when infidelity in every form is preached, religion openly scoffed at, and the Sabbath fearlessly desecrated. The secular press dwelt upon the growing powers and boundless ambition of the great corporations and the hold they had secured upon public legislation. It assailed the evils of that custom which both parties practice, of dividing the spoils among the victors. It called attention to the condition of our national politics, in which what are called machine politicians have complete control. They pointed out the intimate relations existing between some of the members of our National Assembly and the heads of the corporations who were chiefly interested in national legislation. They called upon their readers to consider whether the fathers of our country had forght to free the people from one despotism merely that they might pass under another; if the halls of Congress had been intended as the place whither men should go to secure wealth; whether it was right that positions of trust and honor should be given as rewards for political services; whether the powers granted to the chief executive should be annuled and vested in the Senators of the several States. These were some of the questions asked, and these some of the subjects presented for the consideration of the American people; and as they recognized their importance, they began to study anxiously the past record of the prominent men of their parties to see where among them might one be found to whom could be entrusted the great task of reform. Among the names thus studied was that of one who had long been before the public; who, in the darkest days of the Nation, had been true as steel; who, at a time when shame and ignominy he won his rank as Major-General of volunteers, it was not obtained through political influence. His public life embraced the period of some of the most important events of our history. He was elected Representative from the Nineteenth District in 1863, and was repeatedly returned from that district during the turbulent term of Johnson's administration—the stormy days of re-construction, and when the questions of resumption of specie payments and the financial honor of the country were the vital ones of the day. His congressional career was marked by steady progress from the foot of the ladder to the top. For full seventeen years he was exposed to the full glare of "that fierce light which beats about a throne." Review those seventeen years, and think how few there are in Congress who have stood that test; but he passed through unscathed—a Bayard, without fear and without reproach, loved by his colleagues, honored and respected by his opponents. I will not dwell longer on his public career; all the particulars have been given by abler pens than mine and scattered broadcast over the land. I would dwell briefly upon his private life, which was one to win admiration from all. As a son, a husband and a father, he was all that a great man should be, and what, be it sorrowfully said, so few great men are. There were no private vices to be hushed up and condoned on the plea that he was a great man and that great men must be allowed their hours of relaxation, but he lived a simple, honest, healthy home life, and thank God, he lived the consistent life of a thoroughly sincere Christian. He was a man who in all things sought to please God; who put every question to the test of, "Is it right?" who looked to his Maker for guidance, and did not look in vain. But we, as a Nation, looked to him—still we walked in the valley of visions, and rejoiced as we noted the promise of the opening of his administration. However warmly men might espouse the two sides, few denied that in the contest with the late Senator from New York the President was battling for his rights. There was something in his position to win admiration from friend and foe. His course might be disastrous to himself, might possibly entail defeat to his party; but he believed he was right, and no arguments from politicians could make him swerve; he had taken his stand, and threw the whole question back to the American people to decide whether he was right or wrong. So, too, in the question of the Star Route frauds. Its investigation must involve prominent members of his own party, might furnish political capital to their opponents in the next campaign; but he had been elected President of the United States, not of the Republican party only, and when nominated for that position he had said: "If elected, it will be my purpose to enforce strict obedience to the laws and Constitution, and to promote as best I may the interest and honor of the whole country, relying for support upon the wisdom of Con- he wily won his rank as Major-General of volunteers, it was not obtained through political influence.

and as they recognized their importance, they began to study anxiously the past record of the prominent men of their parties to see where among them might one be found to whom could be entrusted the great task of reform. Among the names thus studied was that of one who had long been before the public; who, in the darkest days of the Nation, had been true as steel; who, at a time when shame and ignominy were covering many a name that till then had been in high public estimation and free from stain, had been cleared from an unjust charge by his political opponents; who, when party strife was running high, had never forgotten that he was a Christian and a gentleman, and had never stooped to slander, or stricken an unfair blow; who, for years had been held as one of the highest authorities in the House on all questions of finance and political economy—had been for years the recognized leader of his party in that House, until the State which he had served for seventeen years as a representative returned him in the higher position of Senator. And when at Chicago the Republican Convention, after a long and stormy session, nominated James A. Garfield as their candidate for the Presidency—nominated him at a time when, far from seeking the office, he was using his best efforts to secure the nomination of another—the vast majority of his party received him as their standard bearer with unqualified approval, while his political opponents acknowledged that a stronger name could not have been put at the head of the ticket. The struggle was long and exciting; but of him and of his gallant opponent it may be said that neither spoke or wrote a word of which either need afterwards feel ashamed. When on the 3d of March Mr. Garheld arrived in Washington, among the first to greet him was his late rival; and when the following day he took the oath of office, the best man of both parties felt that the Nation had not only a President of whom great things might be expected, but one who would be President of the whole people, and of whom all the people might be proud. To-day the Nation is in mourning for him. to the American people to decide whether he was right or wrong. So, too, in the question of the Star Route frauds. Its investigation must involve prominent members of his own party, might furnish political capital to their opponents in the next campaign; but he had been elected President of the United States, not of the Republican party only, and when nominated for that position he had said: "If elected, it will be my purpose to enforce strict obedience to the laws and Constitution, and to promote as best I may the interest and honor of the whole country, relying for support upon the wisdom of Congress, the intelligence and patriotism of the people and the favor of God." So relying, he went on until the one question having been settled, the other being in course of settlement, he was about to seek rest and change, and the Nation, drawing a breath of relief, was congratulating itself that one was at the helm who was every inch a man, and that in him safety was to be found. Then the blow fell, and the bullet of the assassin brought him to the ground. To our mind it was wholly unexplainable, why a Divine Providence should have permitted such an attempt upon such a man. With us there was thought of but one prayer to be offered, when we heard this news—this was the man who could save our country, and heaven must be stormed with prayer that his life be saved. Probably never before have so many prayers been offered, such united and continued petitions sent up to the throne of grace, for any one individual, as for President Garfield, that his life might be spared. Have those petitions been in vain? I think not. From the beginning many competent judges have declared that from a scientific point of view there was no hope of his recovery, have said that but few men could have borne the shock as many days as he did weeks. Suppose that he had died then! Died, when the blood of the nation was at fever heat; died, when the deepest passions of mens' hearts were deepest stirred; what might not have been the consequences? Thousands prayed for his recovery who seldom, if ever, prayed before, but "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith the Lord," and He, Who for a wise purpose suffered this blow to fall upon us has also granted time to exercise its very hour is being carried to his last rest place, while fifty millions of people move for him as for a near and dear relative. It is proper that we, as representatives of people of Anaheim, should take official enunciation of the dire calamity under which Nation is afflicted, and make public acknowledgment of the grief felt by our constituents at the death of one whom they esteem a patriot, a statesman, a noble, generous honest man—a man who as a common borer, a student, a teacher, a soldier, a Cressman and a President tried to do duty to God and man, unswervingly conscientiously. To his stricken family we send the sympathy of the people of Anaheim. They sorrow for the noble woman whose tireless waiting upon her wounded husband made her revered of millions; they feel row for the aged mother whose boy was ruthlessly stricken down in the prime of usefulness; they feel sorrow for the child who thus early in life are deprived of a guild who would have led them to a high plan usefulness and honor. Signed, B. DREYFUS, D. E. MILES, F. A. KORK, D. W. C. COWAN, D. W. FISH. Attest: RICHARD MELROSE, Town Clerk. The A. O. U. W. At a meeting of Anaheim Lodge No. A. O. U. W., the following resolutions were adopted: Whereas, The death of our beloved President, James A. Garfield, is a bereavement which seems to call for some formal expression of sorrow from the members of Lodge; therefore be it Resolved, That the manly character of late President, his Christian life, his marital career, his devotion as a son, husband and father, his fortitude under excruciating suffering, are traits which marked him one of Nature's noblemen, and which endured him to the whole American people—No South, East and West. Resolved, That we hereby express sympathy with his stricken family, and commend them to the care of Him Who al- We have seen one who in the time when he had but just attained the eminence in the gift of his who was conscious of his own had an honorable ambition to powers for his country's best good bearing pain without a murmur, giving himself into His Maker's hands, live or die, as seemed good to his have seen a wife, herself hardly from an almost fatal illness, for and showing to the world the a devoted wife, of a self conloving woman, such as has been The veil of privacy has been that family in these days of few men or women in this land and higher, nobler, thoughts enands as they have gazed on this a christian home. We have off and watched with tenderest and our hearts have been wrung as we have seen him we loved, at a few days since was the preply health and vigor, emerge from after another, always weaker and with some new complication to every less probable, but always always brave. We have watched, until it seemed cruel to pray ife that entailed so much sufferwhile almost despairing for the dreading the evil that his death old words well night forgotten, not to mind, and a still, small voice way: "Hast thou not known, hast hard that the everlasting God, the creator of the earth fainteth not nearly. Even the youths shall be weary, and the young men shall But they that wait upon the renew their strength; they shall with wings as eagles; they shall be weary, and they shall walk it." And we have felt that to the fit could be found only in that the wicked cease from troubling can offer them consolation and a hope of reunion with their loved one. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions, under seal of the Lodge, be sent to Secretary Blaine, with a request that he transmit them to Mrs. Garfield; that a copy be furnished to the Anaheim Gazette for publication, and that they be spread upon the minutes. AT LOS ANGELES. The ceremonies at Los Angeles were very impressive, and were participated in by thousands of mourners from city and county. We are told by some of our townspeople who were present that the arrangements were admirable and were carried out without jar. During the ceremonies the business houses were all closed. The funeral oration was delivered by A. Brunson Esq. and was a fine effort. We make the following extracts: Lincoln and Garfield have clasped hands anew within the pearly gates of the City of God. The men are dead, but their names stand out on history's bright page, each worthy of imitation, worthy of emulation and worthy of the genius of the nation which recognized and vitalized their greatness. Of their slayers little should be said. A blot on humanity, a stain upon manhood, a mental monstrosity, a moral abortion, one has already passed to his judgment; while the other still lives, forsaken of God and despised of man, waiting until the majesty of the law shall be vindicated by his ignoble death, when he, too, will join his companion in infamy. And a thousand years hence, when they both are damned, they will sit like ghosts upon the wailing shore, and read their accursed lives by the red light of hell. Not only the killing, but any attempt upon the life of the President should, by act of Congress, be declared to be treason and made punishable by death. A body guard should be provided for our President by day and a sufficient patrol should be furnished by night to insure his personal safety. True, this might not at all times be acceptable to the man who, during all his former life, had been accustomed to the unrestrained freedom of American citizenship, but the importance of the office and of the officer to A. Garfield occupied a prominent position, with the flag for a background. To-day the crowd of people who have come to attend the church services and take part in the demonstration this afternoon, was so great that progress through the town proper was nearly impossible. The orator's stand was elaborately festooned and draped. The tribute by Dr. Stratton of the University was very fine, as indeed were all the literary exercises. The pathos and tandemess of the exercises was re-echoed in the hearts of the people and all joined in this touching token of respect and sorrow. THE INTERIOR TOWNS. The day was observed, in some form or another, by every town, village and hamlet in the State, from San Diego to Siskiyou. And it must be noted as something remarkable that not an unseemly demonstration has been reported from any point. It was different when Lincoln was murdered. Then, the country was distracted; father was arrayed against son, brother against brother. There are people in Los Angeles county to-day who sincerely mourn the death of President Garfield, but who, when Lincoln fell, either rejoiced openly or were secretly gratified. But the old harsh feelings have been smoothed over by Time's soothing touch, and every good citizen of the Republic bears a share of the common grief. AT SAN FRANCISCO. Fifteen thousand people marched in procession at San Francisco. Every place of business was closed, and the city wore a deserted look except along the line of march. A peculiar feature of the pageant was the solemn silence that prevailed along the line of march, broken only by the funeral strains of the bands, the firing of minute guns and the tolling of bells. The weather was all that could be desired, and throughout the day nothing unseemly occurred to mar the solemnity of the occasion. The funeral oration was delivered by Geo. H. Knight. AT CLEVELAND. Until it seemed cruel to pray faith that entailed so much sufferwhile almost despairing for the reading the evil that his death old words well nigh forgotten, but to mind, and a still, small voice day: "Hast thou not known, hast hard that the everlasting God, the creator of the earth fainteth not necessary. Even the youths shall be weary, and the young men shall But they that wait upon the renew their strength; they shall with wings as eagles; they shall be weary, and they shall walk "It. And we have felt that to the that could be found only in that the wicked cease from troubling are at rest. As day by day of death darkened that chamarts have grown softer and softer, presence, after such an example, not indulge in passion. And so passed till God saw the time had He called His servant home; and as when we were able, as a NaThy will be done." Be done O God, for thou doest well. We join to-day in sharing sorrow, we offer our tribute of to the family so bereaved. We bared heads and reverent mien body of our hero chief is borne to place, and "we bless God's for the good example of this His who has departed this life in His carr, but let not this be all. Let that good example and this can be not lost to the nation, but turn aside from the valley of which it has walked so long, that self resolutely to the task which taken of purifying the land tions and abuses; that it seek as the things that are right, not are expedient; that it turns its the things of this world where it rested, and anchors it securely done upon the Lord God. Who alone is able to save. TOWN TRUSTEES. Meets met in special session on and appointed Messrs. Miles, Fish a committee to prepare suitable concerning the death of the Prescommittee after a time reported address, which was adopted, spread upon the minutes and in the GAZETTE. It was also ora copy be sent to Secretary and painful struggle for life, exhibited a fortitude and resignished marked him as a true hero, our ident, James A. Garfield, yielded to Him Who gave it, and at this being carried to his last resting fifty millions of people mourn for a near and dear relative. It at we, as representatives of the naheim, should take official cogne dire calamity under which the dicted, and make public acknowlledge of one whom they esteemed statesman, a noble, generous and A man who as a common ladent, a teacher, a soldier, a Condid a President tried to do his and man unwaveringly and Not only the killing, but any attempt upon the life of the President should, by act of Congress, be declared to be treason and made punishable by death. A body guard should be provided for our President by day and a sufficient patrol should be furnished by night to insure his personal safety. True, this might not at all times be acceptable to the man who, during all his former life, had been accustomed to the unrestrained freedom of American citizenship, but the importance of the office and of the officer to the nation demands many sacrifices from the man, and why not this among the number? The President should be relieved from the onerous and disagreeable duty of making the great majority of appointments which he is now compelled to make, and this duty should be devolved upon his Cabinet, subject only to his approval, before being transmitted to the Senate, or upon some Board or Commission created for that especial purpose, but with a like reserved power of approval. Applications in person for official appointments should be prohibited, and personal recommendations on behalf of lunatics, dishonest or incompetent men should be made a misdemeanor and punishable as such. Written references should be required of each applicant for office, and these should be placed in the hands of this Board or Commission, in order that they might investigate the character and standing of him who would accept employment of the Government, and the hungry vultures who now sit and sun themselves around the Presidential mansion should be kept at bay by muskets in the hands of trustworthy soldiers. More extended provisions for the Presidential succession should immediately be made, so that the inducements or temptations to the following up of one assassination by another for political or other purposes, would be rendered too remote to be made practicable or available. The frequency of Presidential vacancies makes the selection of the first successor a matter of much more importance than has hitherto been thought to attach to it. The Vice President, the President pro tem of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, should each be selected with a view to his fitness and qualification for the first executive office in the nation, for while life remains uncertain, the contingency may arise when either of those officers may be required to perform the duties appertaining to the office of Chief Magistrate. Politicians should learn that making war upon an Administration is too often either directly or indirectly the sowing of seed from which the nation will, sooner or later, reap bitter fruit; and that by the sober judgment of an offended people they will be held responsible for all the results naturally and logically traceable to their wanton and too often selfish crusade against an Administration holding different views and pursuing a different policy from their own. At CLEVELAND. The funeral procession at Cleveland, Ohio, where the remains of the President was interred, was grand beyond description. Over 250,000 people were on the streets. From the great Public Square., in the central part of the city, to the cemetery—a distance of six miles—there was one continuous wall of people on either side. The vast crowd of people was orderly in the extreme, and the procession, ceremonies and interment were consummated without special incident. The fact that the German Government failed to send a message of sympathy to the authorities at Washington, or to Mrs. Garfield, when all other Governments in the European Continent had forwarded such tokens, aroused the indignation of German residents of San Francisco, and on Sunday night, at eight o'clock, they sent a dispatch, of which the following is a copy: To the Chancellor of the Empire, Berlin: All Governments, with the exception of Germany, sent words of sympathy to Mrs. Garfield and the Government of the United States. Such a message should be sent before the interment. THE GERMANS OF SAN FRANCISCO. The most disreputable dives in the city of San Francisco displayed mourning emblems and closed their doors on the receipt of the intelligence of the President's death, but the gentlemen and gamblers who managed the State Fair would make no change in the programme, and the races and faro games continued uninterrupted during the week. A New York paper, describing the incidents of the day on which occurred the President's death, says: "One of the most touching incidents of the sick-room to-day is the fact that once to-day, when the President was awakening from a semi-sleep, he murmured,' The people, the people—my trust."

EDITOR GAZETTE.—The sad news of the death of President Garfield reached this city just before the meeting of the Common Council closed. The Mayor caused the notice to be sent around the city, and about half past eleven the fire bells began to toll; for half an hour pealing forth a solemn dirge. Before night of the succeeding day San Jose was decorated throughout the business center with the symbols of mourning. To-day the city presents an almost unbroken succession of funeral draperies, from the simple knot of black and white upon the humblest cottage, to the most elaborate devices upon mansion or public building. Large portraits of the deceased President, framed in crape and heavy wreaths of immortelles, are displayed in nearly every window. The flags, surmounted by mourning pennents or tied with crape, hang at half mast, not only the American flag, but that of every other nation whose citizens have clinched the heart with this, their adopted country. At the Normal School an admirable though short eulogistic address was given, at request of the faculty, by Prof. Moore after an appropriate hymn by the school. The chandelier, opposite the front entrance, in the large hall was heavily draped with crape; then surmounting the stars and stripes, also festooned with crape, was an arch in white and black with the inscription, "A nation bends in tears." Filling the space between flag and floor was a most beautiful and elaborate device of white flowers and green leaves, while a crape-decorated portrait of James WASHINGTON, September 22.—Queen Victoria has had a magnificent floral tribute placed at the head of the President's bier. It is inscribed, "Queen Victoria to the memory of the late President Garfield, as an expression of her sorrow and sympathy with Mrs. Garfield and the American nation." WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.—It is reported that a plot to assassinate the President has put the police on the qui vive, although the general impression is that there is more imagination than reality in the story. To-night four officers were on duty in the vicinity of Jones's mansion, and visitors were closely scrutinized. The President's household are disposed to ridicule the report. Mr. Reed, the Private Secretary of the President, requests the press to deny the reports that the President has suffered from malaria. His health is good and he has suffered from nothing but fatigue and anxiety during the summer. He will not occupy the White House until December, at the earliest, much preferring Capitol Hill in such weather as that now prevailing. CHICAGO, Sept. 28.—It is reported from various sources that President Arthur is shot. LATER.—There is nothing definite about Arthur, but it is believed there is no truth in the report. However, there is considerable excitement at the news centres, and it is stated that a Cincinnati paper issued an extra on the strength of the report. The rumor is denied by the Washington agent of the Associated Press. WASHINGTON, September 26th.—District Attorney Corkhill this morning called on Guiteau in jail, and officially notified him that the Grand Jury will take up the case against him next Monday, the first day of its re-assembling. Corkhill informed Guiteau so that he may procure counsel and prepare for his defense. Guiteau merely said that he was ready, and would secure counsel. The Grand Jury will promptly indict him and he will be arraigned for trial. The fund to be placed in trust for the wife and family of the late President Garfield, now amounts to $321,000.
