ERIE, PA, May 2.-Whilst acknowlsdg.
ing with profound humiliation the absence
Of q proper demonstration ofrespect on the
part Of this City, to greet tbs remains Of
President Lincoln on their arrival on last
Friday morning, justice to our citizens
who have ever delighted to honor the To-
mented patriot whilst living, and who are
second to none in heartfelt devotion to the
of the illastrious dead, requires
publicity Of the fact that in the midst Of
for the mournful occasion,
they were informed by Superintendee Of
the Cleveland e. Erie Railroad that the To-
neral cortege had made special request that
no public demonstration be made at this
place, in order that the committee might
have rest and repose. A compliance with
his SreQuest is therefore the true cause Of
he apparent national discredit attributed
% this city. F. ]. FARRAR, Mayor.
