We condense, from the Tribune, an &C.
count of what transpired in Chicago on
Tuesday the 4th:
Yesterday saw deepened the impression
produced upon the community by the death
of Senator Douglas. Emblems OF mourn
ing were multiplied in all parts of the city,
and many of the more prominent public
buildings were deliberately draped, and dec
grated with the funeral badges of wreaths,
festoons, rosettes, in black and white
fabrics. In many places, busts, portraits,
and statuettes of the deceased Senator were
exposed, shrouded in the symbols of woe.
Never was a manifestation of this class
made more general in great city. Flags
foated in every direction the eye could
turn, at half mast, many of them heavily
bordered with black. Many of the citizens
wore small rosettes of black and white, 9TH

Senator, common in the late campaign, but

ribbon. The very vehicles of the city, the
street cars, omnibuses, drays and express
wagons bore their prominent share in this
impromptu and general funeral pageant.

thousands of citizens of all classes were
gathered along the streets intervening and

remains from the former to the latter place.

Priestly, ESQ.,, Assistant Marshal.
Upon arriving at Bryan Hall the remains
were placed upon the pedestal, and was
mounted by the Chicago Light Guard.
The appearance of the hall did great
credit to the committee. The principal
feature was the erection of a large canopy
heavily draped with black, relieved with a
gilt border and surmnnntad ON the centre
