THE OBSEQUIES. 
Wednesday, the4ill, was ft bright and beauti¬ 
ful day in New York, and the whole population 
of the city, as well as Brooklyn and the neigh¬ 
boring cities, prepared to attend the funeral. 
Business was nearly suspended, and at u» early 
hour the people crowded the line of the proces¬ 
sion. No such sorrow and popular emotion lias 
been seen since the funeral of President Lin¬ 
coln. The line of march, from Forty-fifth St. 
to Greenwood, u distance of some six miles, was 
densely packed with spectators, who could only 
be estimated by hundreds of thousands. The 
whole of the way was lined with police, 230 be¬ 
ing at the church, and the same number at the 
Battery, to keep the streets clear. 
AT THE CHURCH. 
The funeral ceremonies were held at Hr. 
Chapin’s eburoh, corner of Forty-filth street 
and Fifth avenue. The house holds but 1,300 
people, and so great was the desire to be pres¬ 
ent, only intimate friends, relatives, employees 
of the Tribune, Invited guests, and representa¬ 
tives of societies could bo admitted. 1 icaets 
were Issued for these. 
THE IlKQORATIONS. 
The church was heavily draped in black, ln- 
stdeand out, and was profusely filled with bow¬ 
ers, sent by societies, friends, the city, and vari- 
uus organisations. Clmppaqua sent a shield in 
flowers, the Common Council of the city sent in 
the city arms in flowers, the ladies of Gio church 
erected a boftUtlful arch of flowers over the 
pulpit, the Mayor, the various clubs, and many 
personal friends, sent rare and remarkable de¬ 
signs in flowers, until the altar of the church 
and Mr. Sinclair’s house were filled with them.

into the church on the shoulders ot six men.

cluding Chlot-Justice Chase, Hon. " ni. M.

Redeemer Llvelh." Mr. Beecher and Dr. Chapin 
made eloquent addresses. 
the procession. 
The cortege started from the church at 1.15 
p M., and was two hours and a hulF reaching 
the Battery. A lineof 123carriages, two abreast, 
followed the hearse. The carriage of the Presi¬ 
dent was surrounded by fifty policemen, as 
a guard of honor. A large number of police¬ 
men, firemen, and citizens on foot headed the 
procession. There was no music, no banners, 
and no military, the great procession moved in 
sllenoe through the heart of the great cities. 
The bells of Trinity and St. Paul’s tolled as the 
carriages passed. 
the vault. 
Even to the door of the Greeley vault on Lo¬ 
cust Hill, In Greenwood, a dense mass of peo¬ 
ple surged. It was dark when the grave was 
reached. After a short prayer the body was 
placed by the side of the remains of Mrs. Gree¬ 
ley and Ills three children. The two surviving 
daughters placed wreaths upon the coffin, and 
the last rites were ended. 
THROUGH THF, COUNTRY. 
All over the United Elates tho day was ob¬ 
served with tho tolling of bells, the displaying 
of memorials, tho holding of meetings, the sus¬ 
pension ol‘ business, and the passing of resolu¬ 
tions. The Senate of New York, tho Legisla¬ 
ture of Massachusetts, Congress, and the Elec¬ 
toral College, passed resolutions of sympathy 
and respect. Thus was laid to rest America’s 
great commoner. 
CURRENT TOPICS. 
Carl Schurz and the Administration. 
The Administration Senators being-a inajor- 
ity have decided In caucus to vacate all places 
held by Liberal Republicans on Senate Com¬ 
mit tecs and appoint Republicans In their places 
—thus classing Liberal Republicans and Demo¬ 
crats together. They give by courtesy and 
custom a minority representation on all com¬ 
mittees to tbo opposition. Thuelrom tho Sen¬ 
ate Committee on Foreign Relations, Senator 
Soliurz Is removed, leaving as the Democratic 
representative, Senator Casseriey. Senator 
Cosserley has, however, withdrawn and the 
Democrats have named Senator Bohurz. This 
guntlemuu has written a letter to the Chairman 
of t he Democratic caucus tendering him tills 
place a letter in which he declares he is still a 
Republican, devoted to the principles enuncia¬ 
ted in tho Cine!nunti platform and adds, most, 
sensibly: “ For Urn realization of principles 
laid down, and the mcusitresof policy advocated 
in that platform, I shall faithfully work, with¬ 
out permitting iuyaolf to be diverted by other 
considerations. If the Administration does 
anything to promote tiio&e ends, I shall then 
support it. in whatever the Administration 
m.iy do in tho Opposite direction, i shall earn¬ 
estly oppose it. 1 shall, therefore, not make 
opposition to tho Administration under any 
and all circumstances, noraupport it under any 
and all circumstance*, but in such support, as 
well as such opposition, be governed by my 
sense of duty, without considering myself 
bound by party interests.’’ 
London In Darkness. 
A struck: le is iu progress between tho 6tokers 
in the London gas-works and their employers, 
which has resulted in a st rike of the former and 
the consequent submerging of portions of 
London in darkness. The latest news Is that 
the places of mauy of the striking men have 
been filled by the companies and London is again 
lighted. But pcaoois not assured. Tho temi>cr 
of English strikers lsbeUgerent and aggressive, 
generally ; and tho men who have consented to 
fill the places of the Insubordinate may find 
their respective positions too perilous to retain. 
Of the merits of this controveray we are not 
informed sufficiently to judgo; but we depre¬ 
cate all such manifestations, because they are 
generally injurious to both parties Involved, 
and are always a sourceof discomfort, if not of 
apprehension to the public. 
Trouble In Louisiana. 
Ax this writing it looks as if the unscrupu¬ 
lous ami desperato politicians of Louisiana 
(including, of course, that species of animal 
known as “carpet baggers”) were likely to 
cause bloodshed there in furtherance of their 
ambitious and venal purposes. The trouble i- ; 
between the federal office-holders and the State 
officers—each seeking to obtuiu and retain con¬ 
trol of tho State Government and secure the 
United States’Sonatorsbip to its partisans. The 
United States Court has decided against Gov. 
Warmoth and in favor of Senator Kellogg and 
purty. United States’ marshals with troops 
have takon possession of the eapitol, and are 
going to enforce t he decree of the Court. Mean¬ 
time, the excitement is intense, and bloodshed 
is apprehended. 
The Arizona Diamond Fields 
Have provod a first-class swindle, and some 
men are well plucked who thought they had 
their “ eye tooth cut.” The first gems displayed 
as having been gathered in the diamond fields 
were bought in Europe. On these the parties 
purchasing them realized $50,000, with which 
they bought more gems in Europe and salted 
the ground, to which they took Cook, the agent 
of tho company formed to investigate tho mat¬ 
ter, and pioked them up for him. Ou the 
strength of this picking up of strewed diamonds 
tho stock of the company was sold to the 
amount of *320,000. The Santon ruby, repre¬ 
sented as worth *350,1)00, proves, on examina¬ 
tion, to bo a sort garnet worth about $1U0. And 
so officers are looking after the swindlers 1 
Homes for Disabled Soldiers. 
There are 4,000 disabled soldiers in the four 
national homes for such at Dayton, O., Augus¬ 
ta, Me., Milwaukee, Wis., and Hampton, Va. 
At the home in Dayton there are 1,700. For 
these soldiers at these homes are provided good 
clothing, food, shelter, chapels, schools, libra¬ 
ries, reading-rooms, amusement balls, and 
workshops in which the men are educated to 
go out and earn their own living as teachers, 
book-keepers, telegraph operators, mechanics, 
etc. They are also paid for any useful work 
they may do while in the asylum.

SEMI-BUSINESS PARAGRAPHS, 
A lllg Victory for the Nef Wilson I'nder- 
Feed Slaving Machine.—It will delight nil tbo 
many friends of the Wilson Sewing Machine 
to know that in the stubborn contest for superi¬ 
ority in samples of work at I ho great Northern 
Ohio Fair, their favorite has carried off the two 
great premiums, the medal for best six speci¬ 
mens machine work, aud the diploma for heat 
specimen braiding. As the great competition 
was in these two classes, it will be seen that the 
Wilson's victory is complete. We knew ibis 
would be so. It could not bo otherwise. There 
is no talking down tho fact that tho Wilson is 
tho best family sewing machine now manufac¬ 
tured, the one capable of doing the best, work 
on any kind of goods and under all circum¬ 
stances. This award of the highest premium to 
the work of the Wilson Shuttle Sewing Machine, 
should and will silence the talk of that large 
class of sewing machine men who have made 
this machine the object of their special enmity, 
simply because it is a moderate price machine 
and undersells their expensive one. Go and see 
the first premium Cards on those beautiful sam¬ 
ples of work, and remember that you can buy 
this premium sewing machine for fifty dollars.
