CONSOLIDATION OF THE DEMO
CRAT AND HOME.
The announcement in the Charlotte
Democrat of yesterday of the consoli
dation of that paper and the Southern
Home, and the retirement of Mr. W. J.
Yates from the editorial profession,
excited considerable surprise, al
though rumors to the effect of a con
solidation had been rife for some time.
Mr, Yates is one of the oldest, most re
liable and most successful editors in
the State. The Charlotte Democrat,
under his management for nearly
thirty years has taken hold of the con
fidence of the people to an almost un
precedented extent. Conscientiousness
has been its distinguishing feature and
Mr. Yates' claim to that virtue in his
valedictory is founded in obvious jus
tice.
After the next issue of the Democrat
Mr. J. P. Strong of the Home takes
charge of the consolidated papers, to be
called the Charlotte Home and Demo
crat. Mr. Strong is a practical printer
of long experience in the newspaper
business and his management of the
Home since his purchase of it a year
ago is a guarantee of his editorial
ability. The Observer 'wishes the
new paper all the success which the
prestige of its components promises it.

A SUGGESTION ON THE FREIGHT
QUESTION.
The State commissioners of the West
ern North Carolina road will meet in
this city at an early day to investigate
the question of freight discrimination
as charged against the Bichmond &
Danville Bailroad company. We re
spectfully suggest to the merchants of
this city who complain at the freight
rates, that they appoint a committee of
competent men to secure information
on that subject and co-operate with the
commissioners when they meet. In
this way it can be ascertained whether
the discriminations, complained of do
actually exist, and to what extent, and
the complaint will be put in such a tan
gible form as to give it some signifi
cance. This will be better and more
like business than assembling in meet
ings and passing useless resolutions.
To such action as we suggest The Ob
sebyer will,lenjl willing aid and all
the power it may have to see redressed
any grievance that may exist. What it
urges is that this question, be .met in
a iair, square, business-nxe way.

Mr. Best's friends say that he has de
posited 0250,000,00, to re-imburse the
Bichmond & Danville syndicate for
money expended in building the Wes
tern North Carolina Bailroad, and it is
also said that there are $85, 000,00, on
deposit for the security of the money to
be paid for the lease of the Atlantic &
North Carolina Bailroad. Now what
guarantee has anybody got that the
Best Boston syndicate would build the
North Carolina Midland, from Golds
boro to Salisbury ? Mr. Best "sold us
out once for $750, 000,00, worth of stock
in the Western North Carolina Bail
road. Mightn't he sell us out again if
he got a good chance? . .
Again, if the Bichmond & Danville
syndicate were'ousted from the Wes
tern North Carolina Bailroad, and the
Best-Boston syndicate were to be in
stalled, what guarantee has been or will
be given that they will complete the
work, which the Commissioners now
say is being prosecuted " with diligence
and energy"? .

Washington, Sept 22. President
Arthur has just taken the oath of office
in the marble room of the capitol in the
presence of members or the cabinet,
Justices of the Supreme Court, a few
Senators and members of the House of
Bepresentatives, and all others who
could be notified this morning to be
S resent; also, Gen. Sherman, Gen.
rant Rear Admiral Nichols, Hon.
Hannibal Hamlin, Gen. Beale and a
few others. Forty people in all were
present as the oath was tafcen. This
step was taken after a conference was
held about an hour since between the
President, Secretary Blaine and the
Attorney-General very few persons
knew the oath was to be administered
until the ceremony was over. The
President and members of the cabinet
assembled in the marble room shortly
before 12 o'clock. A few minutes be
fore 12 Chief Justice Waite in his full
robes of office, accompanied by the As
sociate Justices, proceeded from the
Supreme Court room to the marble
room. The doors were immediately
closed, and without any formality
President Arthur arose, and, standing
upon one side of the centre table, Chief
Justice Waite on the other, took the
oath of office. The President's manner
was cairn ana composed, ana nis re
sponse, "So help me God," was in a
firm tone and without tremor.
, The President then read from manu
script notes the following address:
For the fourth time in the history of
the republic, its chief magistrate has
been removed by death. All hearts are
filled with grief and horror at the hide
ous crime which has darkened our land,
and the memory of the murdered Pres
ident his protracted sufferings, his un
yielding fortitude, the example and
achievements of his life, and the pa-
mm 11 m 111 J
tnos ox nis aeatn, win iorever illumine
the pages of our history. For the
fourth time, the officer elected by the
people and ordained by the constitu
tion to fill a vacancy so created, is call
ed to assume the executive chair. The
wisdom of our forefathers foreseeing
even the most dire possibilities, made
sure that the government should never
be imperilled Decause of the uncertain
ty of human life. Men may die, but
the fabric of our free institutions re
mains unshaken. No higher or more
assuring proof could exist of ; the
Strength and permanence of popular
government than the fact that though
the - ciiosen oi tne people do strucK
down his constitutional successor is
peacefully installed without shock or
strain, except the sorrow which mourns
the bereavement All the noble aspi
rations ot ;myl lamented j predecessor,
vphich foundiearpression tn his life ; the
measures devised and suggested during
his brief administration u to ".correct
abuses and oaroree economy ; toad
' vance prosperity and 1 prdmute the gen
eral welfare; to ensnredomesti secur
itv and maintain friendly and honora
ble relations with tho 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
mav
ed tne present ass urea career oi peace,
tranquility and welfare. The gloom
and anxiety which have enshrouded
the country,, must make repose es
pecially: welcome now.. No demand for
speedy legislation has been heard; no
adequate occasion is apparent for an
unusual session of Concrress. The con
stitution defines, the functions and
powers, of the executive as , clearly as
those of either of he other two de
partments of the government and he
must answer for the. just exercise of
the discretion it permits, and the per
formance ot the duties it implies. Sum
moned to these high duties and respon
sibilities, and profoundly conscious of
their magnitude and gravity, I assume
the trust imposed by the constitution,
relying for aid on divine guidance'and
the virtue, patriotism and intelligence
of the American people.
After the reading of the address by
the President Secretary Blaine stepped
forward and grasped the President's
hand, and after him the other members
of the cabinet and others present
shook hands with the President
Ex-President Hayes arrived at the
capitol soon after the ceremony of
taking the oath was concluded, and in
company with General Grant shortly
afterwards left the capitol.
President Arthur issues Proclama
tion, s
Washington, -Sept 22. A meeting
of the cabinet was held immediately
after the ceremony of administering
the oath was concluded and the follow
ing proclamation was prepared and
signed by President Arthur:
A PROCLAMATION BY THE PRESIDENT
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
Whereas, in His inscrutible wisdom
it has pleased God to remove from us
the illustrious head of the nation, Jas.
A. Garfield, late President of the United
States; and
Whereas, it is fitting that the deep
grief which fills all hearts should mani
fest itself with one accord toward the
throne of Infinite Grace, and that we
should bow before the Almighty and
seek from Him that consolation in our
affliction and that sanctification of our
loss which He is able and willing to
vouchsafe.
Now, therefore, in obedience to a sa
cred duty and in accordance with the
desire ot the people, I, Chester A. Ar
thur, President of the United States of
America, do hereby appoint Monday
next the 26th day of September, on
which day the remains of our honored
and beloved dead will be consigned to
their last resting place on earth, to be
observed throughout the United States
as a day of humiliation and mourning,
and I earnestly recommend all the peo
ple to assemble on that day in their re
spective places of Divine Worship,
there to render alike their tribute of
sorrowful submission to the will of Al
mighty God and of reverence and love
for the memory and character of our
late Chief Magistrate.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed. Done
l.s.1 at the City of Washington, the
22ddayof September, intfreyearof
our Lord, 1881, and of the Indepen

of the White
Lying In tne Coffin Bow He Looked
After Death -
The Ne w Tork Evening Post's special
says the President is laid out in a suit
of clothes which he wore on inaugura
tion day. His left hand is laid across
his breast, after a manner he had in
life. The body is so greatly shrunken
that artificial means had to be resorted
to to giye the clothes the appearance of
fitting. In addition to the natural
shrinking of the body, the operation
connected with the autopsy has left it in
an even more emaciated state. A plas
ter cast was taken of his face Tuesday,
as well as of his right hand. The effect
of the oil used upon the face prior to
taking the cast disfigured his features
somewhat and slightly altered the col
or of his face so that the appearance is
verv much less natural even than' if
was just after death. .. The President
had a massive head, and the cheek
bones show very prominently. His
cheeks are fallen in and his beard has
been arranged about the parotid gland
so as to conceal that terrible scar, and
such arrangements have been made
about the pillow as to still, further
conceal the swelling which helped to
sap away his life. The undertaker
says that in his opinion it will not be
safe to expose the body after it leaves
Elberon. The effects of the fluids used
in embalming are such as to have al
ready hardened the features. The cof
fin was black with silver handles,
Black rods ran along the sides and up
on the top was a silver plate with the
inscription, "James Abram Garfield,
Born November 19th, 1831, Died presi
dent of the United States September
19th, 1881." The cofan was lined with
white satin, and across the top and
orossing each other were two long
leaves of palm. Only the face and
shoulders were visible, and one needed
to know that all that remaimed of
James A. Garfield lay there was to re
call features so familiar during life.
By those who knew Gen. Garfield only
from his portrait the face could not
have been recognized. The cheeks were
gone ; the brow had lost the massave
appearance which had characterized it
in life, and the involuntary whispered
remark of all as they gazed upon the
loved form with a shudder was, I nev
er should have recognized him ; how he
must hare suffered." It was most mar
velous that he lived so long.

as the probable mistress of the White
House under the new administration,
is the wife of John E. McElroy, of Al

She is a lady of winning presence and
is noted both for her culture and for
her social charms. Mrs. McElroy is
not at all fond of display, preferring
rather her own fireside and immediate
circle. Of late she has been calling
often at New York to look after the

Mrs. McElroy has two children a boy
