PRESIDENT LINCOLN's REMAINS.
Their Arrival at Chicags-Address Of Hon.

CHICAGO, May /, noon.--The funeral cortege
mas arrived bere. All along the road from
tons. Speaker Colfax, Senator Trumbull,
Judge Davis, and a committee OF q hundred
rom Chicago, joined the party at Michigan
a: Michigan City, thousand had assembled
The remains passed under the most gorgeous
arches we have seen. On the journey the
houses bear the usual badges OF mourning
The procession OF military and civilians was
very large The entire population was in the
streets, with thousands from other localities.
CHICAGO. May The remains of President
Lincoln arrived here at moon.
Hon. Schuyler Colfax delivered an address
TO an immense audience, as an appropriate
preliminary to the solemn funeral services
to-day.
in the course OF his eloquent address he said
that I'VE might search history, ancient or mo-
dPrn, and when the task was ended, all won Id
coincide in the popular judgment that Abra.
ham Lincoln was the most merciful ruler who
ever put down powerful rebellion. He so
held thee hearts Of the people, and was so en-
twined with their regard and affections, that he
was the only man living who could have stood
in the breach between the leaders of this in.
auity and the wrath Of the country they had
plunged into bloody war.
Feeling, as SO Rany did, that his kindly
heart almost forgot justice in its throb for
mercy, yet knowing, as they did, his uufalter-
ing devotion to his country, his inflexible ad.
herence to principle, his unyielding determin.
alton for the restoration of our national unity,
there was a trust in him almost flial, i'm the
confidence that whatever he might finally re.
solve on would prove in the end 10 be for the
best.
OF the many thousands Of persons whom he
had met in public or private lite, MIR, Colfax
said he could not call to mind single one who
exceeded him in calmness Of temper, in kind
ness of disposition, and in overfiowing gene
rosity of impulse. He seemed wholly free from
nl.will or injustice. Attacked ever SO sharply,
he never answered railing by railing; criticised
ever SO unjustly, he would reply with no word
plainingly strive to prove wat be had said !,

THE NATIONAL WEALTH.

1t is estimated that eight millions OF coal
fields surround Pittsburg, Penn, averag.
ing depth of eight feet, and estimated to
contain 53,5l6, 100000 tons of coal, which,
at the averge price per ton at that place,
say 50 90, would be worth $l07, ,032 $780,
900, OF more than thirty times the amount
of The national debt. This only comprises
that section which is already developed,
while there are more than double the num-
Der of acres yet undeveloped. The gold
and silver product Of the Pacific States can
not fall short Of 100000 1000 per annum,
with millions of acres undeveloped. The
oil wells of Pennsylvania will yield, ac-
cording 10 the last estimate, $50, ,00C
the past year. The product of iron, lead
and copper, is counted by billions. These
are some Of the resources, but still the mar
resources Of the nation are undeveloped
The iron mines of Missouri, alone, wher
properly developed, are capable of supply
ing the world, and our only need is sufi
cient labor to develop the grand wealth o
the country.

1t will be seen by this comparison that
many articles are one hundred per cent,
but most of them from two 10 three hundred,
higher than they were five years ago. Yet
some of the farmers and others who now
receive these fabulous prices for the pro-
ducts of their labor, complain at high prices,
If the comparison were extended further
Into the cost of clothing, dry goods and
articles indispensable 10 the household we
should find an equal or larger advance.

SUICIDE OF Ex-SEEAToR KING,-Our
dispatches this morning convey intelligence
that Hon. Preston King, of New York,
who had for some time previously been
suffering from mental depression, commit
ted suicide Monday morning, by jumping
overheard from the Hoboken ferry. Mr..
King. who has enjoyed no little prominence
in party politics, was born in or near Og-
densburg, St. Lawrence county, New York.
He graduated at Union College, and adopted
the profession Of Law, which he practiced
with considerable success until within n
few years past, when he retired altogether
from the bar. He was a member Dem.
ocralic) of the New York State Assembly
from 1885 to 1888. From 1843 TO I847
he was member of the lower house Of
Congress, and also from lS49 to 1853. He
was the Republican candidate for Secretary
OF State of New York in 1865, when tie
party first assumed a distinct organization
In that State. In 1857 he was elected 10
the United States Senate TO succeed Hen-
ilton Fish, which Office he held to ex-
pira'iOn of his term, March 4th, 1863.
Since Mr.. JohnsOn's accession 10 to the
Presidency he was appointed Collector of
the port of New York, rice Simeon Dra-

Columbia is 10 the black as four to one,
but the statistics of the War Department
show that two black soldiers were raised

blacks $500, and nearly all by volunteer
ing; yet during the war it was impossible

Nor FoRTHcoMING.-Weu understand that
bors Of the Cahoka Oil Company have
suspended for the present, as the in
dications of the presence Of oil do not seem
to increase as the boring progresses. The
gas which first attracted the company to
that locality, still continues TO blow off, and
some of them, who pretend TO know, think
that oil will yet be found in connection with
the source from which it is derived. The
company have expended about five thousand
doIl0rs in the attempt, and do not feel like
doing more under the circumstances. We
learn that very favorable offers have been
made to citizens residing near the locality
of the well to induce them to continue the
efforts, which if successful would be Of
much advantage TO the neighborhood. Per-
haps in going few hundred feet further,
oil in paying quantities may be reached. So
may it be!-Alton Democrat.
