Tlie terrlbfo tragedy which occurred in
the city of Washington nn tlic 3d of July
last , when the chief magistrate of the
nation became the object of an aisasi
' unprovoked and desperate assault has
finally culminated In n national disaster ,
too mournful in character to be announced
in the ordinary language of Borrow. Our' '
honored and beloved president , James A
Garfield , died at Lone Branch , N , J. , at' '
10:30 p. in. yesterday. After many weeks
o ! [ .intense Buffering , the strong , I brave !
heart in still , and the friend * of law ,
and order and peed govcrnmcn
throughout the woild ace bowed with ;
grief en these who feel the weight of a ]
personal bereavement. The na'iou's '
calamity brings Borrow to every bouse
] ield in Nebraska , and awakens the ten
< Iorcbt fee ings of sympathy for tlio af <
illcted companion and fatherless children ,
of the late president. The > o emotions of ]
Kilef and sympathy will find appropriate !
eipnmfous in cvety city , village and ]
rural home.
In haimony thorowlth it ii Mi pe tcl
that on the day set apart for ( no tin al
obscqiioi , all public offices and
other place ? of business be
close. ! It IR also recommended ,
that the pacplo assemble throughout !
the otato in their respective places of
worship and with appropriate religious
exercises participate iu the nation's mem
orial services on that occasion us a further
manifestation of the sorrow that ia tclt by
all , and as a mark of respect for the ex
alted character of our late chief inngis
trato. '
It is ordered that the national flag boB
displayed at half-mast nn the capltol
building at Lincoln , and that the several

ot mourning for the period of thirty days.
In witness whereof I have hereunto af

NO EXTRA SESSION , ,
Shall congress1 bo convened in extra
Jicssion ? This ia tlio first important
question whichPresidpnt Arthur willbcj
called upon to decide when ho assumes !
the active duties of the presidency. !
iBonalor ] Ingalls , of Kansas , is rej > ro-l
icntcd as Baying that nn extra ttcssion
ia absolutely necessary to prevent
inarchy and revolution in this coun
try in the event of the death of Prcsi
dent Arthur , before provision ia made
for the presidential succession by the
election of n president pro tern , of the
lUnitcd States senate.
If this ia the only reason that the
advocates of nn extra session can ad'
vance tn favor nuch an important stq
wo should doom it very imprudent forj
rrcsidont Arthur to call an extra
session ,
The assumption that only ono life
nlcrvonus between the preservation !
of the public peace and anarchy i :
utterly unfounded. This country linn
Iterally boon without a president since
the second day of July , when tlio late
President Garfield was disabled from
, ho active discharge of presidential
unctions. During this entire period
ho country has been aa pcacuablo nnd
ramniil as durinu nny.otlior period
iinco this republic was founded. In
i country where every citizen is a BOV
ircign , where the government ia con
luctod by the pcoplo for the people'
residents are merely public servants.
Micro is very little dimmer that n tern
iorary vacancy in the presidential
Hico will pro juco anarchy or rovolu
ion.
ion.It
It is very doubtful if any serious dis-j
urbanco of the wheels of government
ould have occurred at a moro crit-
: al period of our history , had An
row Johnson shared the fate of Abra
am Lincoln on the same day.
No intelligent man will assort that
resident Arthur will bo moro ex
posed to assassination during the
two months that prccodo tlio rcgula :
session of congress than ho will bo af
tcr the senate 1ms elected a president
pro torn ,
In fact the incentive to asstmina
iion would bo greater with a prospective
tivo democratic president pro torn
than there is now with the presidential
,
tial succession unprovided for. Undo
the constitution the emergency thatj
might arise in caao of the death ol
President Arthur , would bo readily
mot. The secretary of state or the rank
ing member of tlio cabinet would issue :
v proclamation calling for a special
election of president by the people ,
md the government at Washington
rvould inovo on until the people in
their sovereign capacity filled the va-
jancy.
Viewed from this common sense
itandpoint , the convening of congress
n extra session for the solo purpose
) f providing for an improbable con-
ingoncy , seems decidedly frivolous.
It seems to ua that the discretion-
iry power vested in the president to
sonvono congress in extraordinary
miorgoncics should not bo exorcised
rithout sufliciont cause. Quito apart
rom all these considerations , Pri _ .
lout Arthur could not convene con- |
ross in extra seasion without stu

THE AUTOPSY ON THE PRES
IDENT.
Tlio lonij illness of General Garfield
will bo handed down ns ono of the
most remarkable in the annals of
nodical history. For eighty-two days
the patient BufTererer sustained life ]
under circumstances which the post
norlom examination proved to bo un
paralcllod in surgical records. The
autopsy revealed n physical condition ,
is the result of the wound , whicli
nakcs the survival of the victim fo
uch n period almost n miraclo. It
tppcars that the bullet entered the
jack and , striking the eleventh rib ,
deflected to the backbone and
edged two inches to the loft of th
ipino , whore it had bccomo encysted ,
largo abscess was found nca !
ho gall bladder while the ]
liver and a portion of the in
testincs were strongly adherent.
Tlio long channel which has been s
carefully attended aa the track of the ]
ball waa discovered to bo duo to tin
burrowing of pua from the wound.
With mortal injuries that were under
Drdinary circumstances certain to
: auso. speedy death , the long ' and
licroic struggle of the president bo-
monies a matter of tlio greatest sur
prise. A magnificent , constitution to
ivhich excess was unknown , a will
which had never quailed before the ]
rreatcst obstacles , General Gartiold
vaa able to sustain vitality throuijlij
jlovon long wceks. _
Another thought which must havcj
icon uppermost in the mind of every
> no who has followed the president's
aso will bo intensified by tlio result
) f the autopsy. The physicians , nt-
ondant"nnd consulting , have
icon at sea from the vei
lutsct. Their conjectures as to the ]
ocation of the ball , the track of th
round and the extent of the injuries' '
iavo all been disproved. Fiona theL
nomont when the assassin's bullet
nflictod that fearful wound there has _
iot bcon an instant when the slight-
ist hope of recovery was warranted
ly the condition of the patient. Dr.
Jell's electric indicator was no less
inreliablo than the diagnosis of Or.
Jliss , which placed the location
f the bullet in the anterior
lortion of the abdomen when in fact
k lay in close proximity to the spinal
olunin , A channel of suppuration
ros treated by the surgeons as the
rack of the ball.
Of cqutso all medical science isP

A fooling prevails throughout the ]
country that the present management
of our railways is inimical to'tho best
interests of the poopjo. This fcolin ,
has begotten a dissatisfaction which ia |
constantly increasing in intensity , and :
may eventually provoke n , conflict which
will end disastrously in moro ) ways ]
than ono. The main charges against
the corporations are watered stocks ,
discrimination in tariff rates against
individuals and localities , nnd a dis
position to evade taxation. Thost
'and ' other matters of minor impor- |
tauco hnvo led to anti-railwny organ
izations in the cast and west , and
oven on the Pacific slope. These or
ganizations , under the name of antimonopoly -
monopoly leagues , farmers' ' alliances ,
etc. , have been formed with the
avowed purpose of fighting the railways - [
ways , mid the cry everywhere prevails
vails , "Down with monopolies. "
In the midst of the heated discus
sion going on it is pleasant to notice
that thcro is ono prominent railway
official who is able to suggest a plan ,
which , if put into operation , would
ul lay all controversy , and bring about
A bettor order of tilings. Among all
the railway magnates of the country ,
Hugh J. Jowett , president of the Eric
railway company , appears to stand
alone in the opinion that there should
bo a moro direct supervision of rail
way management by the represonta
lives of the people. In this mattei
Mr. Jowett seems to bo in harmony
with the more prominent of thos
who are demanding n reform in th
management of our railway system.
A few months ago he gave expression
to his views in a public letter , from
which wo reproduce the following ex
tract :
"My experience has led mo to th
conclusion that a great deal of th ,
apparent hostility on the part of th
people to the railways proceeds froni
a want of information with regard tolf ,
their management and their neccssi-Jc
ties , I hnvo , therefore , long thought
it advisable that in each state there
should bo cither n board of commissioners -
sionors , or seine state officer , whoscK ?
duty it should bo to act as the medi-F1
um of communication between the' '
people and their representatives and
the railways ; and that , if it was made '
the duty of some such officer , or
board of officers , to familiuri/.o themL
selves with the'necessitics of railwayKj. '
management , to listen to the com-KL
plaints of the people , to inqnireHg
whether or not such complaints wercjjh
well founded , and if well founded to
inquire wherein they could bo law
fully remedied , and to take such steps
is might by law bo authorized to rom- '
jdy them , the principal cause of fric-
lion now apparently existing would
jntircly pass away. " | bi
In this expression of opinion Mr.H
Jcwett has fairly hit the nail on thclpi
icad.An honest and competontH
xiard of railway commissioners injla
iach of the states would do moro toR10
: uro existing evils and promote har- [
nony between the corporations andj
ho people than nil else beside. Mas-
lachusotts has such a board , and weL
icard of no conflict in that stato. Ifjjte
ho plan works well there , why notjJT
ilsowhero ? But the real dillicultyw :
ics with the corporate managers. In |
tfow York , for instance , the com-jfiTi
nercial and producing communi jjj
ics have sought for years ti
iavo the railways put undo :
upcrviaion , as has been dpno witl
milking corporations and insuraiiceircli
Companies. But the wishes of thcHac
> coplo in this matter have invariably "
icon thwarted by the Now York Ceii'
ral and Hudson River Railroad Com-oiT
( any. The Vaiidorbilt organization , ! ,
nth its fifty millions of watered w ,
tuck and overgrown influence , lias hi ;
icon nblo to pxorciso n power over
Bgislation win ill has placed at dcfi-
nco any and all attempts nt railroad
eform. As.a result , the quostion.ofi
urbing the railroads will outer large-ifcu
y into the politics of the state thisF
nil , and bo hotly contested. Tlu'Bjbe
amo is true of Now Jersey mid othorpsoi
tutcs. I
It is time that something were done i
o Bottle the questions nt issue. The ]
ublio does not and will not regard

; systematic watering of th
iipital. It is shown that up to Sop IO1 !
amber of the current year § 071,000 , ' On
