A K1GHTV WARRIOR MIGHTILY KE LAY. Kevt York, Aug. a The City Hall gates were closed to people shortly after 1 o'clock this morning, and the remains of General Grant left alone with the guard. On his coffin rested a plain wreath of oak leaves formed in the Ehape of a letter "G." The leaves grew on the oaks in the foreet near Mount McGregor, and on the afternoon of Thursday, the day he died, little Julia, his granddaughter, and little Josie, It. Douglas' child, had gathered tho oak leaves in the mountain roads. Then, as the children prattled, they knit, with innocent fingers and loviog hearts, the wreath of oak leaves that to day is the only tribute that touches the general's casket. "When the littlo ones had their offering finished, they had taken it to CoL Grant, whose ejes filled when bis daughter asked: "Papa, Josie and I have made this for erandpa and please won't you give it to bun?" The colonel placed the oaken wreath on the casket and there it rested in Albany and still remains as the children's offering. MOURNFUL MUSIC. As i o'clock had passed the strains of dirge music crept on the morniDg air. At first dis tant, they drew nearer and nearer. Bed deep ened in the east; sunrise was near. Thestrainsof music, slow and sad, grew more distinct: then the bjue-ooated veterans of Meade post, Phila delphia, E00 strong, came tramping to the dirge inusio of trumpets. The veterans entered the plaza and marched past while muffled drums timed their footsteps. Heavy guns boomed out toward the sea, tho chimes of old Trinity pealed mournful tolls and the sound of muffled drums grow fainter and then died away. At 8 o'clock nature was putting forth signals of an intensely warm day. The crowds grew denser and denser around the plaza. The drums and trumpet corps marched in at one side and took positions at the east end. The players constituted the David's Island military band. GENERAL HANCOCK. At 830 General Hancock and staff tramped elowly into the plaza from Broadway and pres ented front to the City Hall, and then moved to the end of the plaza in Broadway, where they rested. At this time 100 members of the Lied erkanz society filed up to the steps of the City Hall, and, led by four instruments, sang with impressive effect the "Chorus of the Pilgrims," from Tannhauser. The honor guard of reg ulars filed into the open space at 0 o'clock. They were Company ATof the Fifth U. S. ar tillery, under CoL "W. B. Beck, and Company E, of the Twelfth U. S. Infantry, under Major Brown. The regulars took position beneath the trees opposite the City Hall and stood at rest. Then came the original guard of honor that was on duty at Mount McGregor, which alone should lift the remains to-day. Filing Into the corridors of the City Hall they took their places beside the remains, and there stood under the command of John "V. Johnson, senior vice commander of GrantPost, G. A. it, of Brooklyn. THE FUNERAL CAB. At 955 the imposing funeral car, drawn by twenty-four jet black horses in black trappings, halted on the plaza directly In front of the City Hall steps. Inside the corrider Commander Johnson was waiting. "Columns in position, right and left!" was his command. The guard of honor was erfct. "Lift tl remains!" was f tne command in clear but low tones, xne twelve men stooped to the silver rails with gloved hands. "Marchl" was the word, and the body moved out upon the portico, Com mander Johnson immediately at the head. Down the steps with moasured tread, across the open to the steps ol the car, were borne the re mains. Commander Johnson stepped aside, the silver mountings glistening as the burial case and its honored burden were carried up and placed upon the dais on the mounted catafal que. The veterans retired down the steps and the body was alone for all to view, but deeply guarded. Soon the honor guard next to the hearse on either side took the same relative po sition they bad maintained to the remains while being borne to the car. The steps were drawn away from the hearse, and Commander Johnson took his place in the center, immediately be hind the funeral car. At his left and Tight in eitber rear corner of the car were Comrades Doing and Armsbee, of Wheeler post, Saratoga, respectively next and directly be hind these were representatives of the Loyal Legion abreast, as follows: Gen. John A. Millkan, Gen. C A, Carlton, Paymaster George D. Barton, Lieut.-Col. Floyd Clarkson, Lieut. Col. A. M. Clark and CapL E; Blunt. THE MDOSTERS AND THE DOCTORS. The clergy and physicians had pail their re spects to the remains by alighting from their carriages and accompanying it from the steps to tho car. They entered carriages on either side of the plaza near Broadway as follows: Bev. Dr. Newman, Bishop Haines, Bishop Pot ter, Bev. Dr. Chambers, Bev. Dr. Ford, Rev. Dr. Bridgeman, Bev. Dr. "West, Bev. Father Deshon, Bev. Bobert Collyer, Rabbi Bronnean, aud Drs. Douglas, Shrady and Sands. Col. Beck, in chargo of the regulars, command ed his companies as indicated above to the following positions: Campany A on tho Tight, and Company E on the left of the hearse. Colored men were at the bridles of the twenty-four horses. Sixteen men of Meade post, of Philadelphia, of which Gen. Grant was a member, were almost directly in front of the team of black leaders. A signal was given and the line of coachM with the-clergymen moved off the plaza on to Broadway. A band stood waiting at the head of the funeral cortege. Colonel Beck advanced to the head of the lino of black horses beroro the coach. "Move onl" were his words of com mand with uplifted sword. The leaders stepped forward, led oy the colored men, and in an in stant the black line of horses had straightened their traces and the wheels beneath the remains were moving. The hour was 9:47. The band plajed a dirge The tramp of the logulars and honor guard beat upon the pavement Thousands beneath the trees and crowding the sides o the squaro looked filently upontha black funeral car rolling over the curb into Broadway. The "black corridors of ihe City Hall were silent. General Grant's last journey was begun. Cm DIGNITARIES. At 9:22 Mayor Grace, Commissioner Loewe and Aldermen Singer and Jaehne emerged from the citj building and entered the carriage that Lad drawn up in front Members, of the com mon council followed and entered the carriages, as did also tho police commissioners. They followed out of the plaza as fast as dis posed of in carriages, and when it was 10 o'clock the polica lines were withdrawn and the iieople streamed across the plaza with out hindrance. The last scene there, was ended. All night loDg carpenters with sawand hammer were busy in Broadway, and when this morn ing's eun climbed up out of the sea and shed Its brilliant light upon the parks, corners and alleys of the city, it revealed the presence of hundreds of hastily erected reu-w stands from which the great procession could be seen at prices ranging all the way from $1 to $10 a head. The decorators, too, had not been idle. Oa many houses were displayed emblems of inourn iug which were not there the night before. Be iewing stands were located in all sorts ol places, and nearly every empty stand alonsr tha locte had been gobbled up by speculators. Some of these wore rented outright, while others eon tained numbered seats to be had for $3 each. The epeeulatiag feex eren got hold of novrs bojs, several of whom stuck notices m their chairs to the effect that seats fnun whtoh to view the parade could there be procured. "When at length the hands of the great clock of Trinity approached the hour of i', Broadway presented au animated spectacle. As far as the eye could reach sidewalks were thronged with people. Every train and every steamer poured its load into the great artery of travel. Bronzed f aimers from the country, white faces from city counting rooms and offices, and dirty faces from the tenement districts were in the crowd. Rich and poor, rogues and rascals, dignitaries and nonentities jostled each other on tha side walks. Everybody seemed to be good uatored and took ihe jostling as a matter of course. Police tried to keep people off the streets, bui it was hard WQ.k. AT THE FIFTH AVENUE. Inside the Fifth Avenue hotel, the lobby and corridors were blocked by an increasing throng cf gold-laced and uniformed men. In the main hall. Gen. Sherman, tall and erect, was the cen ter of an admiring throng. He stood in a group cf naval officers chatting pleasantly with old friends. The party were all in full uniform and attracted universal attention that flagged only for a moment, when a file of attendants of the Japanese minister entered. The big marble bail was completely chocked with humanity lODg before 8 o'clock. In the big parlors up stairs all was stir and bustle, while thepresident and his cabinet ministers, who just had break fast in one end of the building, and the Grant family were quietly preparing for the pageant at the other end, committees, organizations and delegations were gathering and getting ready here and there, and everywhere badges, sashes and military orders found their way for mem bers of tho seemingly inextricable confusion of swarming humanity. In the quiet little parior a group of serious men, most of them gray-haired and old, bat nearly all erect and of vigorous physique, were pulling on broad Bilk sashes of white and black. They wero the pall bearers, and tney were a striking groupe. Gen. Sherman, sum moned up irom his friendly talk below, re sponded. Li the uniform of a United States general he stood in friendly conversation with a tall man In whose moustache and chin board and soldierly bearing one recognized at a glance the gallant confederate Gen. Buckner, from whom Grant wrested his first hard won laurels atFortDonelson. Gen. Buckner was in ordi nary black, citizen's dres3. A smallar man similarly attired at the other end of the room, whose gray hairs formed a striking contrast to the loonine meln and fierce moustache of Gen. Logan, with whom ha was talking, was the famous Gen. Joe Johnston. Hamilton Fish was not among the pall bearers. He was ill at and the president had appointed A. J. Drexel, of Philadelphia, in his stead. At the last mo ment it was said that Bear-Admiral "Worden had been appointed pali bearer in place of Yice Admiral Rowan. SUMMONED TO THE CARR1AGE3. At half-past 8 o'clock CoL Hodges summoned the pall bearers to their carriagas. The presi dent's carriage, drawn by six horses, was called up to the door next, but had fully an. hour to wait The president had signified his intention of riding with Secretary Bayard. He was at that time quietly conversing in his parlors on the third floor with ex-Governors Cornell and Robinson, who had called in anticipation of his coming out An enormous crowd, which the police found it difficult to manage, gathered opposite the hotel entrance in twenty-third street, and yells or "Here they come," went up eiery time a delegation came out The Grant family were ouietly gathored in then parlors overlooking the square, and strang ers were rigidly excluded from the hall leading to their rooms. Mrs. Grant had not arrived and it was announced that she would not at ' tend the funeral, but had concluded to stay at Mount McGregor. She was reported by Dr. Newman to be still weak and ill, though not confined to her bed. The party gathered at tho hotel Teady to take carriages for their position in the parade when the column should have ad vanced so far as to permit their carriages to fall in line from the hotel, were CoL and Mrs. Fred D.Grant, Mrs. Sartoris, Mr. and Mrs. U.S. 1 Grant jr., Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Grant, Mrs. Cra mer, Mrs. Dent, Miss Cramer, Gen. Croswell, 1 Mr. Stephen L. Morality, Senor Romero and .Mr. "W. J. Arkell, members of the party, who from time to time appeared at the windows. THE PRESIDENT AND GEN. HANCOCK. At 9:20 o'clock President Cleveland called his cabinet together and arrangements were made for the order in which they were to leave the hotel ta take thelr.places. The hands on tho 'CloCk'POlnted to wre minutce- fterlO vhen 'Gen. Hancock and Gen. Sbaler rode under its windows to the head of tho procession. The sun was reflected from the maze of glittering gold on the uniforms of their staff, as it trooped behind, followed by the regulars, who in passing reversed arms, while the bands played mourn ful dirges along the line of the avenue. "When tha troopB of the first division of the National Guards were drawn up guns were shouldered as the general Dassed. Tae regi ments of the first division stretched southward from near Twenty-eighth street in a continuous line on the east Bide of Filth avenue and inside .streets. The Second battery, Capt Earle, mounted, but without guns, were occupying !the extreme right on the west side of the av- ;enue. continuous lines or Grand Army vet erans extended down as far as the eye could reach. PROMINENT MEN. The congressional committees and other offi cials from Washington were distinguished by broad, white sashes. Speaker Carlisle and ex Speaker Bandall rode with Congressman Hlscock of New York and Beed of Maine. One carriage lield Congressman John D. Long of Massachu setts, Randolph Tucker of Virginia, Ben Butter worth of Ohio and Gen. King of Louisianna. The senatorial delegation paired off as follows, the senators riding in twos. Senators Morrill, of Vermont and CottrelL of Missouri, Sherman, of Ohio, and Ransom, of North Carolina, IngaUs, of Kansas, and Harris, of Tennessee, Palmer, of Michigan, and Miller, of New York, Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, and Manderson, of Nebraska, Eustls, of Xouisania, and Blair, of New Hampshire, Brown, of Georgia, and Ev arts, of New York. Congressmen Bliss, of Brooklyn, and Ward, of Chicago, rode together, and Gen. Bingham, of Pennsylvania, Wheeler, of Alabama, and. Lowroy, of Didiana, were in one coach. One of the carriages contained members of Gen. Grant's military staff, and carried Gen. Horace Porter, Buf us IngaUs, C. B. Comstock and William Henry Smith. In an other rode Gen. Porter, Grant's military secretary, during the war, who was present at the meeting between Grant and Lee, at Appom atox, and still has in his possession the original draft of the terms, of surrender, in Grant's hand writing. It was gi eu him as a keepsake by his chief. With Vice-President Hendricks rode his sec retary, Mr. East his friend, Mr. Depauw of In diana, and Senator Blair of New Hampshire. THE FAMILY. At 10:10 precisely the Grant family came out of the ladies' entrance to the Fifth Avenue hoteL and took their carriages. Col. Fred Grant and wile rode with Mrs. Sartoris, U. S. Grant, Jr., ana his wife and Senor Bomero occu pied the next carriage,Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Grant the thud, and the Cramer family the fourth car riage. As the carriages received their occu pants they rolled away toward the avenue, and remained there closely wedged in, and waiting for their turn in line. They had been waiting more than a quarter of an hour before Presi dent Cleveland came and took his seat in the carriage with Secretary Bayard, and the four horse carriage that followed received Vice-President Hendricks and his private secretary, Ahead of thein had gone a number of carriages, following the Grant family in the following order: Mrs. Bawlins Holman, daughter 01 Gen. Grant's friend and first secretary of war; tho general's old staff in four carriages; hLs ex-cabinet officers In four car riages: detachments from Wheeler and U. -. Grant posts G. A. R., in four carriages: Mrs. J. ' W. Drexel and members of the Aztec club; sur v ivors of the Mexican war. Next came the pres ident's carriage, the vice-nresident's and the cab net in five carriages; members of the su preme court; United States senators; house con gressional committee in a score of carriages; committee of tho state legislature hi thirty car riages: ex-president's Arthur and Haye3 and members of other cabinets. Then the foreign ministers and diplomatic and consular officers, under Gen. Grant's administration. These filled ten carriages. Then came the representatives of different departments of the national govern ment isex: came the governors 01 states, with their staffs, and thn the representatives of cities. THE CATAFALQUE. The catafalque passed Twenty-third street at 1 o'clock sharp. The hour of expectation that Lad preceded it was settled as it passed by, and all heads were uncovered. Many heads were bowed; an old negro woman, who somehow had been pushed forward to the curb and stood there wedged in, essayed vainly to kneel, with tears streaming down her wrinkled face. She was held fast by the crowd, and could not stir. On a single telegraph pole on the corner of Broadway and Twenty-third street were perched not less than twenty-eight spectajQrs, As soon as thAcatafalque- had passed, the car riagA containing CoL Fred Grant ana bis .wife and his sister, fell in, and the mourners' coaches fell quickly in line, without confusion. Both Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Hendricks hart tired of the long wait, and after sitting in their carriages, stared atnythe curious crowd, till half-past 11, retired to their roomsia the hoteL They observed the parade from their windows, and did not again come out till the catafalque had passed the hoteL Their carriages bad re mained at the door. Secretaries Endicott and Manning, whGse carriages followed 'Ihe vice president's, remained in their seat, and tho other cabinet ministers, who roda in pairs, did the same, THE VETERANS. Almost thelast carriage had wheeled into line at Twraty-ihinl street when there fellf u behind ono containing an officer, with a bjad gold band across his breast Two crutchei stood up in the carriage beside him and proclaimed his name, as tho gold scarf had announced his rank. He was Maj-Gen. Daniel Sickles. Following behind the crippled veteran's carriage there trod a seemingly end less army, with banners, without show of gold or glittor, but with armless sleeves, limping gait and scarred faces that stirred men's minds as they passed, with deep and sti.tncr pmnHon Tlipsn ror tha dfcad hern's comrades, who shared his dancer on fieId-of?.uJi, ?5 ! battle who now walked with him tas last resting place. They were old men, most of them, but they walked bravely antept up with tho youngest. All had their badges "eUed with crape and wore bows of crape on the left aim. Their battered banners were veiled In black, and many posts carried as distinctive badges sprigs of myrtle or evergreen on their breasts. The procession seemed unendiDg, stretching southward as far as the eye could reach. 'The streets all the way to the tomb wore packed with people, and as the right of the column ap proached the tomb dull reverberations of guns rom men of war could be heard, and the troops brpke column from the left, matching to the right on the east side of the road. Alter form ing in line, arms wero presented and the cata falque slowly passed. THE CROWD. The crowd on Fifth avenue remained on the sidewalks with remarkable persistency until the long parade had passed. There were a few cases of heat prostration In the ranks, but as far as known none were fatal. Beglmental ambu lances were called into requisition for slight cases, perhaps half a dozen times. At tho cor ner of Fifty-seventh street where the line turned to the west, the crowd swelled from the sides to the open way and blocked the thorough fare on occasions. There was some trouble when the catafalque reached lhat point Everybody was more inter ested in the approach of this than In ny other rart of the procsssion. It was watched for blocks away, its conspicuous night making it plainly visible as far as f ar aa about Fiftieth street As it neared the corner the crowd nat urally bulged into the highway and the officers bad to threaten with their clubs to make the spectators recede, and it was a 4ifficuU process. People were standing eight and tea feet deep, and some of those in front had raised their um brellas to keep off tho sun's rays. There were some women who stood with babes in arms, and fathers had hoisted their little ones to their shoulders. The ob structions were numerous, and those at the rear were becoming indignant, but as the catafalque came up the annoyance was forgotten and only respect was folt Tho leaders of horses were ordered to make a sweeping turn, and that was the only way In which the interested gathering could be driven back. Tho peoplo fall back from the horses as though a, spirit had ap peared and ordered then retreat With a spon tanety that told their reverence, every man raised his nat as tne nrst norse came abreast 01 him, and remained uncovered until the body passed. After the president, vice-presiJei 3- cabinet judges of the supreme courts, senators and members of ore bouse cf representath'js, gov ernors and their staffs, ex-presidents, foreign ministers, diplomatic officers and representa tives of tho army and navy had passed, the pro cession began to break up. Veteran and civic organizations left Fifth avenue by any of the streets between Fifty-third and Fifty-ninth streets, and gradually fell out of line. AT THE TOMB. Exercises Attending the Committal or the Badr to the Earth. New York, Aug. 8. From noonday on for hours Into the afternoon the vicinity of tha tomb and Biverside park was a scene of discom fort for the waiting thousands. Heat had fol lowed the cool of the morning, and tho suc ceeding hours added heat and hundreds and thousands of people. The latter suffered much in their cramped positions of waiting In the blazing sunshine. Ono o'clock came and went but the funeral car was yet a long way off, and moving very slowly. Beneath a fir tree at tho crown of the knoll rested a small charcoal fur nace, and near it tools and materials with which to seal the leaden lining of the cedar case, into which the casket and remains of Gen. Grant should bo placed. Down ihe slope, nearer the vault, was a portable furnace, such as is used by workmen in a forge, heating bolts. In a group near by were five men, mechanics, who should rivet fast the steel casket within which both the coffin and cedar box should finally be preserved. The steel case rested upon two marble blocks, two and one-half feet high, three feet wide and eighteen inches thick. Sim ilar marblo blocks had been Bunk In the floor, flush with the surface, and upon these the re mains of Mrs. Grant are expected to repose. Many persons were permitted to peer into the tomb, where the steel receptacle was waiting the body, then being borne up town. THE ADVANCE GUARD. Soon after 1 o'clock the beat of drums and blare of trumpets was heard from the lower end of the park, and a carriage came into view. In it was Gen, Hancock. Ho was the only oc cupant, and stood erect Trooping behind him, on horseback, were tho members of his staff. The general roda to a point near the tomb, where he alighted. He was jnet by Superin tendent Murray, Commissioner Cummins and others of the park board. Gen. Hancock's staff and aides swept past There were Among them were Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and Gen. Goroon, whom Gen. Sheridan once met so warmly in other times and under other circum stances. Upon n commanding slope, 100 yards north of Gen. Grant's tomb, the staff officers and aides drew rein, beneath a clump of spread ing trees. In the meantime helmets were glistening and plumes waving over tho slope to the southward, and the trappings upon many horses shone in the sunlight The cannon and timbers drawn by the horses that were ridden by artillerymen came over the brow of the southern slore, and orderlies galloped to and fro and sabres and accoutrements clattered and rattled. The regulars and marines, with light battery of the Fifth artillery, were coming down the drive. They marched out upon the slope where Hancock's staff was halted, and there the infantry and marines assumed posi tions of rest in the shade, and out upon this slope towards the Ciaremont hotel, which was covered with black drapery. A REMARKABLE PICTURE. The mounted men with plumed helmets, ma rines with the uniform of the tars, the United States marine corps, with bright uniforms, Bad died horses, with riders dismounted, but hold ing their bridle reins, cannon muzzles thrust from behind the lower bend of hillocks, pyra mids of stacked guns with glistening bayonets interlocked along the drive, solid walls of peo- Elo upon the curbing, and lines of uneasy and oblmg umbrellas, through the trees a vista in which the brown and rugged rocks of the Pal isades pierced the woods and jotted above the river all combined to form a scene to be re membered for life. The Twenty-second and Seventh regiments marched up from the east and down by the iomb, and were drawn up in a line on the brow of a bluff overlooking the rlter. The line reached beyond the Tiew from the tomb around the slope. Tha two regiments stacked arms and were at rest Near the edge of the bluff were the regiments drawn up, so that the hundreds of men in bright uniforms formed a line of silhouettes against thesheenof the broad river in which the afternoon sun was reflected. Suddenly a gun boomed out over the water and a cloud of blue and white smoke puffed over me stream, tne rownatan, lying down under the bluff, had fired tha first of a salute. The hills were calling back in echoes, and tha guns of the other war vessels in tha river anon shook the bluff and started the echoes flying in the woods on the Jersey hills. THE rROOESSION ASRIT S3. Three and four oY'oek passed, and tha tomb yet waited, but there came a bagle call from tho eastward at 4:20 o'clock. Then a strain from the trumpets, and sooa the sound of muffled drums. Carriages then came" Into view and rolled sjowly through the nark tq the tomb. Dr. Newman and Bishop Harris occupied tha first and then tho clergy and Drs. Douglas, Shrady and Sand3. The pall bearers came after these. G?n. Jce Johnston rode beside Gen. Sherman, and Buckner and Sheridan wero paired, while Gen. Logan and ex-Secretary Boutwell followed. The pall bearers and those invited alighted and took a place near the tomb. Tha Davis island band, placing Chopin's funeral march came Into view, while behind tha black plumes of tho funeral car could be seen. The car stopped abreast of the tomb, and the guard of honor ascended to bear down the cas ket CoL Beck formed his two companies Jof escort in a hollow square, between tha tomb and tho hearse. The family carriages had drawn near and, their occupants alizhted and took positions near tho loot of the steps of tha car. Thus they stood while the casket was being removed from tbe car, and when it was borne into the hollow equare toward the vault tho relatives fol lowed in this order: CoL Fred and wife.

Post Commander Alexander Reed: One by one as tho years roll on, we are called together to fulfill the last sad rites of respect to our com rades of war. With the present tho cares and pleasures of civil life fade away, and wa look back to the time when, shoulder to shoulder, on many battlefields or around the guns of our men-of-war, we fought for our dear old flag. We may indulge the hope that tho spirit with which on land and sea, hardship, privation and danger were encountered uy our dead heroes may never bo blotted out from history or memory of the generations to come. A spirit uncomplain ing and obedieni to tho behest of duty, vJftereby today our national honor is secure and our loved ones rest in peace under (protection of the dear old flag. May tha illus trious life of him whom we lay in the tomb to day prove a glorious incentive to youth, who in the ages to come may be called upon to uphold the destiny of our country. As tho years roll on we, too, shall have fought our battles through, and be laid at rest, our souls following the long column to the realms above, as grim death, hour by hour, shall mark its vic tims. Let us so live that when the time shall come those we leave behind may say above our graves: "Here lies the body of a true-hearted, brave and honest defender of the republic" Vice-Commander Louis W.Moore, (laying a wreath ol Evergreen upon the enffln) In De half of the post I give thi3 tribute, a symbol of undying love, for the comrades of war.

New York Sun: After all, the national demo cratic guillotine seems to work with a great deal of regmarity and efficiency. We may bo happy yet Minneapolis Tribune: We venture the pre diction that Chicago will have a magnificent monument to Gen. Grant before New York has settled upon a site for one. Boston Herald, (Mugwump): The substitu tion of democrats who will run the public offices for party advantage for republicans who have done the same thing, Is not reform. Djdianapolis Times: Gen. Grant's greatne33 was always in him, and if ha had died without becoming famous it would simply have been an other proof that "the world knows nothing of its greatest men." Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: Di Ohio tha question Is to be determined whether the senate is to be handed over to the democrats that they may have the law-making Dower and reorganize the supreme court for confederate purposes. Philadelphia Press: A democratic administra tion has managed to drive into bankruptcy the largestshipbuilderinthe United States and to turn over to foreign vessels every ocean mail carried under the United States flag. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: There are perEons still troubled because, as they put it, Gen. Grant's grave is not to ba in national solL 11 there Is any part of this country that is not na tional sou it should bo subjected to soma use or process to make it so. Boston Herald; As a military man in the presidency, Jackson was tha most successful in establishing himself as a power. Yet it is the opinion of at least half the nation to-day that Grant did really more patriotic services in subor dinating hi3 military traits than Jackson did in asserting them in his own character. Grant could conquer himself; Jackson never even thought of making the effort to do this. New York Times: There is little use in argu ing on economic ground with those who main tain that all indulgence in stimuLints, however mild and with whatever moderation, U inju rious, but if wa condemn the production and gala of anything because it is unnecessary or -might be dispensed with, wa are on the way to arguing out of existence the bulk of tha Indus tries and traffic by which men live, and show ing that the greater part of the money spent is wasted. Grant's Greatest TIctory. General Hovfard at Omaha. Djfirmities our heroic leader had, but ha knew them, he overcame them. I saw evidences of that victory often and am not mistaken. It would be utter folly for a young man to yield to drink and excuse himself by tha example of a great mam Ob, what a struggle, stronger than that with Lee, Johnston and Pemberton, yet thank God; ha conquered.

Henarial Services Eeli is aU tie Prisdpal Cities of tie Ualoa Federal aad Confederates March Side by Slda. Augusta, Ma, Aug. 8. Appropriate Grant memorial services wero held here to-day. At tha exercises held in tha Granito church this after-, noon tho following eulogy was delivered bye Hon. James G. Blaine; Public sensibility and personal sorrow over the death of Gen. Grant are not confined to one continent A profound admiration for his great qualities and still more profound gratitude for his great services have touched tho hearts of the people with true sympathy, increased even to tender emotions by tha agony ot his closing days and the undoubted heroism with which, ha morally conquered a last cruel fate. The world in Its hero worship is discriminating and practi cal if not, indeed, selfish. Eminent qualities and rare achievements do not always insure lasting fame. A brilliant orator enchains his hearers with inspired and inspiring gifts, but if his speech be not successfully used to soma popular recollection his only reward sui be la tha pltful applause of his forgotten audience. A victorious gen eral, in the war of mere ambition, receives tha cheers of the multitude and tha ceremonial honors of his government but if he brings no been to his country his fame will find no abid ing place in the centuries that follow. Tha hero for the ages is he who has been chief and foremost In contributing to the moral and ma terial progress, to the grandeur and glory of tha succeeding generation. Washington secured luo ireeoom 01 tne colonies, and founded a new nation; Lincoln was tho prophet who warned the people of the evils that were undermining our free government, and tho statesman who was called to the leadership in the workot their extirpation; Grant was a soldier who, by vic tory In the field, gave vitality and force to tha policies and philantropic measures which Lin coln defined in the cabinet for the regeneration and security of tbe republic HIS NAME SHALL ENDURE. As long as the American Union shall abide, with its blessings of law and liberty, Grant's name shall be remembered with honor; as long as the slavery ol human beings is ab horred and the freedom of men assured. Grant shall be recalled with gratitude; and in tha cycles of the future the story of Lincoln's life can never be told without associating Grant in tho enduring splendor of his own great name. Gen. Grant's military supremacy was honestly earned, without factious praise and without extraneous help. He had no Influence to earn his promotion, except such as was attracted by his own achievements. He iiad no potential friends, except those whom his victories won to Lis support He rose more rapidly than any military leader in history from the cimmand of a single regiment to the supremo direction of a million of men, divided into many great armies, and operating over an area as largo as the empires of Germany and Austria combined. Ha exhibited extraordinary qualities in tha field. Bravery among American offi cers is a rule which has happily had few exceptions; but as an eminent General said, Grant possessed a quality above bravery. He had Insensibility to danger, was apparently unconscious of fear, but besides that ho pos sessed evenness, of judgment to be depended upon in sunshine and storm. Napoleon said the rarest attribute among generals is 2 o'clock In the morning courage. "I mean," ha added, unprepared courage that which isnecessary oa unexpected occasions, and which, inspita of;the most unfoieseen events, leaves full freedom o judgment and promptness of decision." No better description could be given of tho type oX courage which distinguished Gen. Grant His constant readiness to fight was another quality which, according to the same great authority, established his right as commander. "Gen erals," said the exile at St Helena, "are rarely found eager to give battle. They choose their positions, consider their combinations and their indecision begins. Nothing," added this greatest warrior of modern times, "is so diffi cult as to decide." Gen. Grant in his services in the field never once exhibited indecision, and it was this quality that gave him his crowning characteristic as a military leader. He inspired his men with a sense of their invincibility, and they were thenceforward Invincible. AS PRESIDENT. Tho career of Gem Grant, when he passed from military to civil administration, is marked by bis strong qualities. His presidency of eight years is filled with events ot magnitude in which, it his judgment was sometimes ques tioned, his patriotism was always conceded. He entered upon his office, after tha angry dis turbances caused by the singular conduct ot Lincoln's successor, and quietly enforced a poncy wnicn had oeen for lour years a cause or embittered disputation. His election to the presidency proved, in one important aspect a landmark in the history of tha country. For nearly fifty years preceding that event there had been few presidential elections in which tho fata of tho Union had not In soma degree been agitated either by threats of political malcon tents or in the apprehensions of timid patriots. The Union was saved by tho victory of an army commanded by Gen. Grant No menace ot its destruction has ever been heard since Gen. Grant's victory. Before tho people death always holds a fla of truce over Its own. Under that flag friend and foe, sit peacefully together. Passions ara stilled, Lenevolence is restored, wrongs are re paired, justice is done. It Is impossible that a career so long, so prominent so positive as that of Gen. Grant should not have provoked strife- and en-. gendered enmity. For more than twenty years, from the death of Lincoln to tha close of his own life, Gen. Grant was tha most conspicuous man in America one to whom leaders looked for leadership, upon whom partisans, built their hopes of victory, to whom personal friends by T the tens of thousands offered then: devotions! It was according to human nature that counter movements should ensue; that Gen. Grant's primacy should be challenged; that his party should be resisted; that his devoted friends should be confronted by jealous men in hl3 own ranks, and by bitter enemies in the ranks ot hi3 opponents; but all these resentments are buried In the grave which to-day receives his remains. The contention respecting his rank as com mander ceases, and Unionists and Confederates alike testify to his powers in battle and his mag nanimity in peace. The controversy of his civil administration closes, as democrats and repub licans unite in pronouncing him to have been'in every act and every aspiration an American pa triot The other speakera were the Hon. J. W. Bradbury, Hon. J. Manchester Haynes and Gen. Luther Stephenson, Jr. The church was filled to overflowing. AE USPLEASAaT ISCIDE5T. Coroner O'Donnell Persists in Creating a Sceao la the Procession. San Francisco, Aug. 8. At 11 past 7 o'clock Ibis morning, corresponding to 27 minutes past 10, New York time, the bells of the fire depart ment began to ring and rang sixty-three times at intervals of one minute between each stroke. The great bell in the Davilion was also rung and some of the church bells also lolled. The first bell indicated the commencement of the funeral march from City Hall, New York, to Riverside park.

When the last division of the grand pro cession reached the Grand hotel Cor oner O'Donnell, who had watched the cavalcade from his carriage for over an hour, attempted to drive into line and take hi3 place at the head of a division. His attempt was greeted with a shout of approval from the Emallboys on the streets. The carriages at the head of the procession, however, refused to giva way. Marshal. Hatch observed tho disturbance, and rode up, ordering O'Donnell to 'get out o the way. The coroner refused, and loud words ensued. A great crowd began to gather, and. hoodlum, boy, with shqqt3,ot "Qet.in, doctQrl?' attempted to force, O'Donnell into line. Marshal
