We are surprised te see some Repub lican newspapers which have by their or dinary conduct wen a reputation for geed sense, indulge in the hue and cry against the suspected purpose of the Democratic party te organize the Senate and elect members of that party te the presidency and office of secretary. It is no fault of the Democracy that they have a majority in that body, nor any work of theirs that the selection for the chair will new be next in succession te the presidency. But while the Republican factions are taking each ether savagely by the threat ever their dead president's coffin, wlule their newspapers are calling upon the peepe te remember that "there are still two parties in this country, that they will always divide en certain ques tions," some of the rather soft-headed brethren are calling upon the Democrat ic senators te forego their rights and du ties and elect Republican officers of the Democratic Senate, or first swear i the three incoming Republican senators after Bumside's successor shall have been elected and .then let them organize the .Senate; although theycannel be sworn in until an organization is effected, as even Ulcrk Burch is dead and no succes sor chosen. This demand is absurd ; but scarcely less se than the appeal te the Democratic majority te elect u Republi can organization. Why should they ? and when did the opposition de such a thing ? Seme of the organs seel; te lelieve this absurd position into which they put their party by arguing that the. Republicans carried the country and are entitled te every chance at its control. It maybe fitly suggested that Arthur was net elected president ; he did net carry the country for that office and could net have carried it. His faction was beaten at Chicago and would have been beaten at the polls. Logically it is he who ought te retire. The Democrats de net ask it. But they propose te stand by their guns, their rights and their duty te the coun try. Mere than this the Democracy de net seek, lass they will net take. Tm: people of Lancaster arc glad te day te welcome at the gates of our cily a famous battery of the regular army from Ft. Hamilton en route for York Yerk town, by the way ever which Gen. Wash ington once passed through our county and city. Capl. Sinclair's command is en its journey te participate in the cen tennial celebration of that glorieusfevciit which marked the close of the Revolu tionary struggle and the triumph of the American arms. As Washington tar ried m this city .se this battery will make it the place of its Sunday rest and camp. It is a happy coincidence that Lancas ter's gallant and lamented soldier, Gen. Jehn F. Reynolds, who sleeps in our cemetery, was once the commander of this battery. 1 ts piesence among us re calls net only Revolutionary memories and the heroes of the late struggle for our national existence, but the glories of Chcrubusce where the Ringgold artillery new Rattery V se nobly redeemed itself from the disaster of Pale Alte. It was a doleful precession that wound its way last night through thevalleys, by the rivers and ever the mountains of our great state, traversing its entire length. The passage of the draped train, with its precious burden of thff sorrowing living and its melancholy freight of the lament ed dead, was net se picturesque as the mourning bands which are sometimes seen by tourists winding through the mountain passes te or from the mon asteries of the old world. But at the bier en which he has been borne from the East, where he was called te his high trust, te the West, where he was born and lived and .which he loved, the whole nation, and all nations are sin cere and sorrowing mourners, and the country has little heart for ether things while that mortal dust is being laid te its rest, MINOR TOPICS. Rev. Chisistmax, of the Reformed church, Miuersvillc, Schuylkill county, has resigned because his congregation per sisted in publicly soliciting votes through the town te make rcenev at their church fair. THE OBSEQUIES. FUNERAL SERVICES AT THE CAPITOL. Havixi; published a statement of the alleged reasons why the beard of trustees of Millersville normal school resolved te exclude some of its alumni - from the grounds and buildings of their alma mater, one of the excluded promptly and in a very temperate spirit gives a bread denial te the truth of the allegations made se far as they refer te him. His denial puts " our reliable informant "' te his proofs and the beard en the defen sive. Their general statement is net enough, since the accused were given no opportunity te knew the charge, te hear the evidence or deny the accusations upon which the radical action of the beard was taken. The trustees cannot but see that their action can Ikj viewed in only one way by the public, and that the popular judgment en the silliness as well as the.injustice of their action can not be reversed without a rehearing et a case which they have net tried with even the fairness of lynch law or Patter son ian justice.

As they are the kind of men that the Examiner likes te sec rewarded, by an administra tion of 'Stalwart of Stalwarts," coming into power by the virtue of another Stalwart's bullet, the Examiner's de fense of Arthur is as characteristic as 1WVUHU3IUU1 liiu XATJSLLIOEXCKIi IS painless te these against whom it is directed.

Large and UiRtinKulslied Company Present Impressive SerrlrCn and Touching Tributes te the Memery or tlie Illustrious llead. The funeral services of the late President Garfield took place in the rotunda of the capitol at Washington yesterday afternoon. During the progress of the ceremonies the appearance of the rotunda was solemn and impressive. The chairs, of which thcie were 1300 in the hall, were completely filled, by distinguished personages, while many persons remained standing in the aisles. The glitter of the uniforms of the army and navy, aud the court uniforms of the representatives of the diplomatic corps served te brighten, te a certain de de grce, the solemnityef the scene. When President Arthur entered, the vast assemblage rese as of one accord te honor the new president, and when they had regainedethcir scats the ceremonies were opened with the hymn, "Asleep in Jesus," beautifully rendered by the vol unteer choir. Passages by Dr. Itankin. Rev.Dr.Rankin then ascended the raised platform at the head of the catafalque, ana reaa in a clear, distinct veice a num ber of scriptural selections, as fellows : " The Lord reigneth. The floods have lifted up their voice. The Lord ou high is mightier than the veice of many waters. Clouds and darkness are around about Him. Righteousness and judgment are the habitation of His throne. By Him kings reign and princes decree justice. He changcth time and the seasons. He remevcth kings aud sctteth up kings. Fer there is no power but. of Ged. . The powers that be are ordained of ' Ged ; whosoever, therefore, rcsisteth the power resistcth the ordinance of Ged, and they that resist shall rcceive te themselves damnation. Cease ye from man whesu breath is in his nostrils, for wherein is he te be accounted of? Fer, beheld, the Lord of Hosts doth take away from Jerusalem Judah the mighty man ; the man of war, the honorable mau and the counseller aud the eloquent orator. There is no man that hath power ever thn spirit te retain the spirit. Neither hath he power in the day of death. And there is no discharge in that war. Then shall he be at rest with kings and counsellers or the earth which built desolate places for them selves. The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him and every man shall draw after him as there are innumerable before him. There the wicked coase from troub ling and there the weary be at rest. Then answered Jesus unto them : Verily, veiily jl say unto you. no tUat licareth -My wei d and believeth iu Him tliat sent Ma hath everlasting life and shall net come into condemnation, but hath passed from death. Unto him that ovcrcemcth will I grant te sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcome and sit down with My father in His throne. Blessed are they that de His commandments ; that they have right te the tree of life aud may enter in through the gates into the city, and they shall sec His face and His name shall be in their foreheads. And he went a little further and fell en his face and proved saying, 4Oh, My father, if it be possible let Ibis cup pass from Me, nevertheless no, as I will but as Theu wilt.' It became Him for noble and Christian spirit which she had exhibited in the hour of sorrow and trib ulation, and exhorting her te leek te Ged in the days of her affliction. He invoked the Divine blessing en the fatherless chil dren that the sons should, under the ben ediction of Ged, grew up te a noble man hood, and that the bereaved daughter rise into a true and glorious womanhood, and live te be the comfort of her widowed mother. He appealed te Ged te have pity en the dear old mother ever the mountains waiting for the dead body of her darling son, new that she was old and gray haired. Address or Rev. If. D. Power. As the closing words of the prayer died away, Rev. F. D. Power, of the Vermont avenue Christian church, of which Presi dent Garfield was a member, delivered a feeling address. He spoke iu a clear veice and was distinctly heard in every portion of the hall. He said : The cloud se long pending ever the nation has at last burst upon our heads, and we sit half crushed amid the ruin it has wrought. A million prayers and hopes and tears as far as human wisdom sees were vain. Our loved ene has passed from us. But there is relief. We leek away fiem the body. We forego ler a time the things that are seen. We remem ber with joy his faith in Ged's Sen, whose gospel he sometimes helped te preach.and which he alwavs trulv loved, and we see light and blue sky through the cloud stiucture and beauty instead of ruin; hon hen hon er,imraortality,spiritual and eternal life iu the place of decay and death. The chief glory of this man, as we think of him new, was his discinlcshin te the school of Christ. His attainments as a scholar and a states man will be the theme of our orators and historians, and they must be worthy men te speak his praise worthily. But it is as a Christian that we love te think of him new. It was this which made his life te man an invaluable been, his death te us an unspeakable less, his eternity te him self au inhoritance incorruptible and unde iilcd and that fadetti net away. He was no sectarian ; his religion was as bread as the religion of Christ. He was a simple Chris tian, bound by no sectarian tics, and wholly iu fellowship with all pure spirits. He was a christolegist rather than a theolo theelo theole gist. He had the great reverence of the lamily and relations. His example as son, husband and father is a glory te this nation. His power ever the human heart was deeit and strong. He wen men te him. Ha had no enemies. The hand that struck him was net the hand of his enemy, but the enemy of the position, the enemy of the country, the enemy of Ged. He sought te de right manward and God Ged ward, lie was a grander man than we knew. He wrought even in his pain a bet ter work for his nation than we can new estimate. He fell at the height of his achievements, net from any fault of bis, but we may iu some sense reverently apply te him the words spoken of his dear Lord ;" He was wound ed for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastise ment of our peace wa3 put upon Him." As the nations remember the Mace donian as Alexander the Great, aud the Grecian as Aristides the Just, may net the son of America bn known as Garfield the Geed ? t)ur president rests ; he had joy in the glory of work, and he. loved te talk of the leisure that did net come te him. New it is his ; this day is precious, because $30,000 and $50,000. A cotton dealer named J. S. Atkinson lest $2,500. The robbers are said te be mere boys, and it is believed that they will shortly be captured.

Seme Republican senators are of the opinion that the newly elected senators cannot be sworn in until a president pre tempore shall have been elected, and it is certain that all the Democrats of the Sen ate held te that view. It is semewhat doubtful, notwithstanding the assertions that have been made te the contrary, that there will be any filibustering by the Re publicans against the regular organization of the Sonate by the actual majority. This will make a. Democrat president pre tern. of the Senate and he will remain in office even after the swearing in of the new sena tors, because of the tie that will then exist between the two parties. Of course, it is understood that the president pre tern, has a vote just as ether senators. The choice of the Democrats for this office will prob ably be if r.
