TIE CABINET AND DIPLOMATIC CORPS.
After the members of the cabinet for the
first time in any of our public demonstra-
tions we're placed the diplomatic corps in
single line of carriages. Some surprise
has been manifested at this part of the
programme, SIS hitherto it has been custo-
mary upon social occasions, for Ex-Presi-
dents and the Judges of the Supreme Court
and other leading officers of the govern
ment to precede the foreign ministers, but
the place assigned TO them to-day is &C
corded invariably abroad on all great state
occasions to the representatives of foreign
governments, immed diately after the mon
arch and before the officers of his own gov
ernment.
THE JUDGES OF THE SUPREME COURT
and Senators and Members of Congress
were In carriages four abreast, and we're
followed by an Immense miscellaneous
procession Of military and civic associs-
tions of Washington, Georgetown, alex
sndris, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
X, and delegations from almost every
To- the Union, led by the delegation

PLACING THE BODY IN THE CAPITOL
The troops presenting arms, the banda
playing q requiem, the sssemblsge stand
ing uncovered and the artillery laundering
sclemnly, the cofiE was carefully removed
from the funeral car, carried into the rC-
tunda by q detal from the Presidents
body guard, and placed upon the csta-
ia que. Preceding the little procession
came Msior French, whose officers stood
in line, with heads barred. Then followed
The pail bearers, who parted on either side /
If the catafalque. The coffin cssae next,

The Rev. DR.. Gurley, began to recite the

WITHIN THE CAPITOL.
Msiol French, Commissioner of Public |
Buildings, had entrusted his son, Mr.. Ben
smin French, and Mr.. Kirby, with the |
erection of cstsfalque and the arrange

md the statues were completely drsped,
except the statue Of Washington, which

marble floor stood the cstsfalque, covered
with black. It was about nine feet long
.hree feet high and four feet broad The

A PRAYER

THE CLOSING sEvIcEs.
AS the prayer closed President johnson |
ntered the rotunda, attended by several I
senators. Lieutenant General Grant, who |
lad hitherto stood modestly but consPicu-
'usly among the pail bearers, next to Cen /
raj Hslleck, now fell back out of sigAS- |
Jsptsin Robert Lincoln and the family rels k
tives appeared moro prominently. Then
be Presidents body guard and the cavalry
scert fled in and formed in double column
o the west of the cstafalqae. There was
10 delay in DIR. Gurley's remarks, and the
hufiing of fest as the distinguished per-
ons outside tried to steal in before the con-
lusion of the ceremonies wss the only in-
eruption. The prayer followed close
Ipon the burial service, and the benedic-
ion as closely followed the prayer. Car
isges drove up as quickly as possible,

General Grant and Vice Admiral Fsrragut
