An extensive display of the military and

Aserroneous statements have been made
lin the papers, it is necessary to say, on the
authority oi the embAImersnd undertaken,
that no perceptible change has taken
place in the body of the late President
since it left Washington. The physicians
there removed a part Of the brain only for
the autopsy, but this was replaced, so that
no part of the body whatever is now de
lheIent
The remains were visited through the
day from. hslf-past 9 A. NJ. until 8 o'clock
this evening, by an immense number OF
citizens. The arrangements generally are
pronounced to be better than elsewhere on
the route. Great credit is therefore due to
the committee who perfected them Hos
pitallties were every where literally ex
tended both by the corporate authorizes
and citizens.
During the morning there was placed at
! the foot of the coffin an anchor Of white
eamelias, from the lsdiescof the U nitarisn
Church of Buffalo. An elegant cross OF
white flowers was also laid on the coffin.
At the request of Major General Dix and
other officers the st. Cecilia repeated the
dirge, which was sung with more SOLEMN
and touching effect than in the morning.
The procession with the remains left ST.
James Hall about quarter to 6 o'clocE, es
corted to the depot by the military, follow
ed by a large crowd. The depot was sur
rounded by a large crowd anxious to get q
llast look the coffin. Tho train left about
an o'cIock p. M for Cleveland.
