Sketch of the Life of the Deceas ed President. Vioe President Arthur takes the Oath of Offioe as President. After weeks of the most agonizing suffering, borue with sublime heroism and fortitude, during which earnest hope for his recovery and dread fear of a fatal end alternately predominat ed in the thoughts of a sympathizing people, the "inevitable hour" that sooner or later dooms all maukind came to Prcsideut Garfield on Monday night. His death occurred at 10:35 in the evening and was announced by telegraph to the country at twenty minutes later than that hour. In this way the bullet of a miserable and atrocious miscreant at last accom plished its deadly purpose, and to-day a great burden of sorrow and grief rests upon the nation for the fall of its chosen head. For a number of days before the fatal hour arrived almost every word that reached the public from Elbcrou was gloomy and discouraging. Even the most sanguine were at last with extreme reluctance forced to yield their hopes and anticipations before the obvious and inexorable fact that in the President's case nature could no longer assert her powers of recuper ation ; that all the resources of medi cal science and skill had been ex hausted, and that it was not possible for this wasted aud blood-poisoned body to hold life for many hours longer. Thus the end came, not unexpected ly, it is true, and yet the calamity is none the less grievous and mournful. We can recall but few incidents in the public life of President Garfield that could inspire any reasonable man with a lasting personal dislike to him ; certainly there never was anything to provoke the cruel and bloody deed which brought to a close his honorable and exalted career. The blow may therefore be said to affect every American citizen interested iu the welfare of our institutions and the perpetuity of our government. It seems like a personal bereavement to every one; it touches every heart and carries sorrow and mourning into every household in the land. In the presence of this dire affliction it becomes the people to bow iu sub* missive humility to the will of the Great Master who rules the Universe, and who does all things well; relying in full faith upon His wisdom and mercy to lead us safely through all tronbles and difficulties that may come upon us as a nation. The following are the dispatches which tell the sad story of the President's death: THK NEWB. Ki.si box, N. J., September 19.—The President died at 10:35 r. v. From what can be ascertained his death was from sheer exhaustion. Mr. Warren Young, assistant to Private Secretary Brown, brought the news from the cot tage at 10: 50 o'clock. The first indica tion that anything serious had occurred was the appearance of a messenger at the Ell on Hotel, who obtained a carriage and drove rapidly off. It is supposed he had gone to sulntnon the members of the Cabinet, whfi left here about 9: 30 to-night. A Attorney Oeneral MacVe\eh has notified Vice President Arthur of the President's demise. Particulars will be obtainable presently. \ Elbcbok, N. J., September 19.-11 :55 r. n.—The members of the Cabinet bare just arrived and gone in a body to the Francklyn cottage. All are here except Blaine and Lincoln. Attorney Oeneral MaeVeagb baa telegraphed the latter two, who are en route to Long Branch, of tha President's death. Great excite ment prevails here and particulars cannot be obtained. Tbe guard around tha oottaga baa been doubled and no on# is allowed to approach it. Tbe gorernment baa taken possession of tbe only telegraph wire which la connected at Elberon. It will be almost iapoesi bla to get further details to night, as we are shut off from all communication with the cottage and its inmates, Kuiaaox, September 19—II :30 r. m. A torney Oeneral MacVeagh came first te'ha Elberon Hotel from Francklyn Lotage and made the following state wet*! "I sent my dispatch to Minister Jfl at 10 r. *. Shortly before that Vr. Kiss had seoo tha President and found il* puis* at 106 beats, and all the conditions were then promising for a quiet night. The doctor nuked the President if he was foeling uncomforta ble in any way, and the President an swered, 'Not at all,' and shortly after fell nsleep. I>r. Bliss then returned to his room, across the hall from that oocupied by tho President, and Colonels Swaiui and Bockwell remained with the President. About fifteen minutes alter 10 the President awakene'i and re marked to Colonel Swuitn that he was suffering great pain, and placed his hand over his heart. Dr. Blisa was summoned, and when he entered the room found the President substantially without pulse and that the action of the President's heart was utmost indiatin fuishahle. He said at once that the 'resident was dying ami directed that Mrs. Garfield he called and also the doctors. The President remained in a dying condition until 10:35 when he was pronounced dead. He died of some trouble of the heart, supposed to he neuralgia, but that of course, is uncer tain. 1 notified General Arthur and sent a dispatch to Blaine and Lincoln who are en route from Boston to New York. The Cabinet, now at 11: 30 r. a., is in consultation." LONU BRANCH, N. J. September 20— 1:25 A. M. —Attorney General MscVeagb has just sent the following to Vice President Arthur : It becomes our pain ful duty to inform you of the death of President Garfield ami to advise you to take the oath of office as President of the United States without delay. If it concurs with your judgment we will he very glad if you will come here on the earliest train in the morning. Wll.Ll.tN W INDOM, Secretary of the Treasury. W. H. HUNT, Secretary of the Nary.

After the bulletin win issved at 5: 30 this evening the Presi dent continued in much the name condition as during the afternoon, the pulse varying from 102 to 106, with rather increased force and volume. After taking some nourishment he fell into a quiet sleep. About thirty five minutes before his death and whde asleep hi* pulse rose to 120 and was somewhat more feeble. At ten minutes after 10 o'clock he awoke complaining of a severe pain over the region of the heart, and almost immediately became unconscious and ceased to breathe at 10:35." [Signed.] D. W. BLISS, I. H. A..SEW, F. 11. HAMILTON. KLBERON, N. J., Septeml>er 20. —The Cabinet t this hour. 1 A. 8.. IS still in j session at the Frsnrklyn Cottage. LONG BRANCH, N. J., September 20. J Previous to hi" denth the only words *|>oken by the President were that he had a severe pain in his heart. It is *up|osed by the surgeon* that death , was occasioned by a riot of blood form ing on the heart. I'r. Bliss was the first one notified of the President's expres- j sion of pain and ujmn entering the j room be at once saw that the end was near, and the member* of the family were immediately summoned to the bedside. All arrived and perfect quiet i prevailed. Mr*. (i at try ing great bihited unprecedented | gave way to no and after death became be quietly j withdrew to Iter own room. There she sat, a heart-broken widow, full of grief, but with too much Christian courage to exhibit it to those around her. She of ' course was laboring under a terrible strain and despite her efforts tear* flow ed from her eyes and her lip* became drawn by her noble attempt to bear the burden with which she had been afflict ed. Mis* Mollie was naturally atfeoted and burst* of tears flowed from the child's eyes, notwithstanding her noble efforts to follow the example of her mother. The death seem* one never to be forgotten. Perfect quiet prevailed and there wa* not a murmur heard while the President was sinking. After death had been pronounced the Iwidy wa* properly arrayed by I>r. S. V. Boyn ton. Telegram* were immediately sent to the President's mother, in Ohio, and to the sons. Ilarrv and .fames, who are now at Williams College, as also to Vice President Arthur and many prominent public men. SKETCH OF HIS LIFE. James A. Oarfield, son of Iliram and Eliza Oarfield, was born in Orange, Cuy ahoga county, Ohio, November 19. I*3l. Hi* parent* were |>oor and his father died while the subject of this sketch wa* very young. Thrown upon his own resources while a mere child he soon developed those traits of character which made him a leader among his fellows and pointed him out at last as eminently qualified for the high office to which the suffrages of his country men called bim. His early years were spent on the farm and on the canal, and much of hia education was self ob tained. By teaching he acquired suf ficient money to pay hi* college expen ses, graduating at Williams College, Mass., in 1856. He was a minister of the Christian church and President of Hiram College for several years. He read law and practiced with auceesa. Entering political life he was a member of theOhioHenate in 1859 and 1860. He entered the Union army in 1861 as Col onel of the Forty-second Ohio Volun teers ; was promoted to the rank of Brigadier Oeneral. January 10, 1862 j *ras appointed Chief of Staff" of the Army of the Cumberland. From the day of bis appointment he became the intimate associate and confidential ad viser of hia ohief, and bore a prominent part \in all the campaigns in Middla Tennessee in the spring and aummer of 1863. \ Hia laat conspicuous military serried was at the battle of Chickatnau- Sa, September 19 and 20, 1863, and for is bravery and generalship in that en gagement be was promoted to the rank of mqjor general. At this point the military career of Oeneral Oarfield practically came to an ond. Ia 1861, while absent from the -Ha- 'i -• * army, and without aolicitation on hia part, ho had boon elected to Congresa from the old Gidding* diatriot (the Nineteenth), in which he resided, be lieving that hi* path of usefulness lay in the direction to which hia constitu ents pointed, he resigned hi* commis sion December 5, 1863, and entered up on the duties of a statesman's life. In Congress he ut once took a high rank, and from hia admission to the House of Representatives to his elevation to the Presidency, he was an active, energetic bard worker. He that served on the committee on military affairs, where, by his activity, industry and furniliarity with the wants of the army, he did as signal service as he could have done in the field. He soon became known as a powerful speaker, remarkably ready, and always effective in debate, while in the committees he proved himself an invaluable worker. Hia party renomi-. nated him by acclamation on the expi ration of hia term, and on his return to the House he was given a leading place on its leading committee on ways and means. Here he soon rose to great in fluence. He studied the whole range of financial question* with the assiduity of his college days, r . that he was look ed upon as one of the ablest of our na tional financiers. He stood by his party and hi* party stood by him. re-electing him successively to the Thirty-ninth, Fortieth, Forty first. Forty-second, For ty-third, Forty-fourth, Forty-fifth and Forty sixth Congresses. During these several terms he served as chairman of tho committee on military affdirs, of the committee on hanking und curren cy and of the appropriations commit tee. This last chairmanship ho held until 187 when tho Democrat* came into power. Two years later, when -lames G. Blaine went to the Senate, General Garfield became, by common consent, the Republican leader in the House. In .lanuary, 18*0, he was elect od to the Senate to fill the seat of Allen (. Thurman, who retired on the fourth of March, lie received the unanimous vote of the Republican caucus for this position, an honor never conferred be lore on any man by any party in the State of Ohio.
