"The procession started from the State House on
yesterday, at IL O'Clock The military escort was
| composed of the Washington Battalion, whose ap-
pearance and attendance reflected the highest credit
upon the motives and character Of this military
citation Of our fellow-ctzens. The body was carried
from the State House to the hearse BY the members
of the Senate. 10 this last act of remembrance we
found touching incident commemorative of the af
lection which the living bore to the distinguished dead
for It is the first instance of funeral taking place
from the State House. In the procession we found
both Houses of the Legislature the Governor of the
State, the Judges of the Supreme Courts the leading
members OF the bar, and large assemblage of the
oldest and most respected of fellow-citizens.-
The funeral service was performed by the Rev d.
Wheaton, of the Episcopal Church. The deceased
was Inferred in the Protestant Cemetery.
The Republican of the oath ulimo, has the
following just remarks, which, springing as they
do from the pen of one Of his fellow townsmen,
are more to be valued than any words of ours
at this distance from the scene of action.
Mr.. Waggaman has been resident of this State
Tor the last thirty-hve years he has filed various
public stations such District Judge Secretary of
State, member Of the House Of Representatives and
OF the State Senate. BY vote, at a time of high
party excitement he sent to the u s. Senate -
In all these honorable and conspicuous situations he
answered public expectation and satisfied his con-
stituens. AT the time Of his death he was State Sc
nator from the parish of jefferson. Mr. Waggaman
during the career which he has passed through in
this State, has conciliated the esteem, respect and
confidence OF all classes Of our population. warm
friend, intelligent citizen possessed of manners
popularity and influence of an extended nature and
which was only exercised for the advantage of his
adopted State MIR. Wsggaman was native ef
Maryland, and is connexlon of the President of the
United States. His closing hours were marked by
that resignation and character becoming lust man
The private difficulties which embarrassed his last
days were closed by reconciliation which we trust
gave calm and quietude 10 his dying moments He
has gone from us in the midst Of health intelligence
and strength. The voice which was heard but YES
terday in the chamber of our Senate, is bushed in
the silence of the grave. His friends and they NAV
be called legion, will never forget his good qualities
his errors, land who is free from imperfectionD will
be forgiven by bis great Creator We pen this tri.
butte to the departed, not attempt TO speak his
praise, but tc give vent in part TO the feelings of graft
tude and affection which are due to him who is no
longer among the living"
They who know Judge Waggaman out of
his State, and while Senator in the u. s. Sc
nate, will bear testimony to the truth of the
above remarks. In the U. s. Senate, his career
was honorable TO his State and credit to him
SELF As public man, his integrity stood on
the lofliest pinnacle, and his z,al in the dis
charge of his duties never sbated In all Thing,
he was
