LIVERPOOL, June 4.-John Bright was
entertained this morning at q public break
fast by prominent members of the Liberal
party. Mr.. Bright made an eloquent
speech. After reviewing the policy Of va
rious Tory administrations on the Irish
Church question, he drew strong contrast
between the present Premier; and that of
Gladstone in dealing with that matter. He
advised the Liberals to put forth all their
strength in the next Parliamentary cleo
ton, and with great earnestness and
warmth of language exhorted the people Of
Great Britain to support the Liberal party,
declaring success Of its policy the only
means Of adjusting the dissensions Of Ire
land and perfecting her union with Eng
land. The speaker was frequently inter
rupted by applause, and was loudly cheered
at the conclusion Of his speech.

THE FLORIDA ADMISSIoN.-The New
York Tibu,.e's Washington correspondent
says:
There seems to be considerable opposi-
ton among Republicans to the admission
Of Florida for several reasons. In the new
constitution is q singular proposition, in
effect that every owner Of real estate in
the State is eligible to hold any office within
fine rift Of the State. The charge is made
that the Governor elect Harrison Reed) !,
originally from Wisconsin, was q special
agent of the Post-office Department, and as
signed to duty in Florida. He is an init
mate friend of Postmaster-General Ran
dali, and has been in close connection with
him since his arrival here. The Lieuten-
ant-Govcrnor "a Mr.. Clisson), also from
Wisconsin, is also one of RandalPs men,
and together with Reed, it is charged that
they have been connecting plan to elect
Mr.. Randall United States senator from
Florida. Reed has returned to Florida, 1t
is said, for the purpose of Immediately
calling together the State Legislature TO
elect Mr.. Randall.

FUNERAI, OF Ey-PREsIDENT BUChANAN.-
lancaster, Pa, June AIR. Buchanans

monies ever witnessed IN this country.
The procession extended all the way from
his home, at Wheatland, to the city OF Ian
caster-a distance of mile and nall.
Delegations from New York, Baltimore,
Harrisburg, Philadelphia, York, Reading,
Pottsville, and from the National Congress,

sion, numbering about three thousand per-

conveyed his Immediate mourners, IN
Gliding Mrs. johnson, formerly Harriet
Lane. The Rev. Edward Buchanan, brother
of the deceased, was present with his entire
family. The mansion of Wheatland was
thrown open to the public. The body
was placed in the hall, while the faml-
ly occupied the room in which Mr.
Buchanan died. The ex-President was
dressed in a satin shroud, white neck
tie and high collar, as in life. The face
looked very natural and expressive. Inc
coffin and hearse were of q solid, plain cha
racter, in accordance with the directions OF
Mr.. Buchanan himself. A band played
funeral march on the way to the grave. Inc
Masons assisted throughout the ceremony,
and their burial service accompanied the
RELIGIOUS rites. All denominations OF cler-
evnen assisted at the grave but the I'M
3Sediate services were read by the Rev. DR..
John A. Neyin. Wreaths OF laurei, IVY,
and immortelles were deposited upon the
coffin. The funeral was not merely poil-
teal ceremony. 1t was remarked that the
leading Republicans of the country aia
equal honor to the ex-President with ms
party associates. The bells OF all the
churches were tolled during the passage OF
the procession. Business was universally
suspended, and the people crowded the
streets through which the procession passed. :.
to woodward Hill Cemetery. The place OF
burial, which stands on the opposite side OF
the city from Wheatland, was crowded py
respectful assemblage of people long before
the procession arrived.
Mr.: Buchanan gave explicit directions IN
regard to his funeral to his executors on
the Saturday preceding his decease. he re-
ouested that there should be no snowy or
EXPENSIVE monument erected oyer his grave,
hut that there should be simple but sub.
stantial tombstone, the cap stone to be OF
the finest and most durable marble, on
which he directed should be cut, in Roman
letters, the following inscription, and no
thing more: H.

States, born in Franklin county, Pennsy i
yania, April 23, 1871. Died at MS resi-
dence, at Wheatland, Lancaster county,
Pennsylvania, p and adding the day o. my

WASHINGTON, June S, 1868.
CONFIRMATION OF Mr.. wORTHNGT0N AS

NOMINATIONS BIZ THE PRESIDENT.
The Senate, in executive session this at
ternoon, confirmed the nomination Of d. G.
Worthington, ESQ.,, to be Minister to the

nous.
The nominations for Minister to England
and Minister to Austria were not reached,

THE TAX BILL.
Whatever may be the fate in the House
of that part of the new tax bill, which
makes department of the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau, and gives to the commissioner
the power Of appointment of officers, 1t
is conceded that it will fail in the Senate,
and that even if the bill in this form should
pass, it could not receive in either House
two-thirds majority, SO as to secure its pas
sage over veto. The impression grows
stronger that the sum of all the labor
on the tax bill will resolve into the
reduction Of the tax on whiskey to
say fifty to seventy five cents per
gallon to some further regulation as
to stamps and to alterations of tax on to-
bacco. These, with few other features
unimportant, are believed to be the limits
of definite legislation on taxation at this
session.
THE SUSPENSION OF Mr.. JAMES NOT SUSTAIN

The Senate to-day refused to sanction

Quite harHh debate srose among ths
Republicans who had favored the clause re-
quiring majority Of the registered voters
to ratify constitution. ~ 81 81 y
Without action, the Senate, after an exc
cntive session, adjourned. $500 800
Dir. Wade appointed Messrs. Trunlbuli,
Drake, and Williams as committee of
conference on the Arkansas admission bill.
House.-After some unimpoItant bust
ness the tax bill was resumed. 50 !
Mr.. Wood moved to amend so as to pro-
hibit the Commissioner appointing revenue
officers in any district without consulting
its congressional representative. Rejected.
Mr.. Dawes opposed the bill as being very
injudlcious and very improper at this time.
Mr.. Butler said when he believed what
would benefit his party would not benefit
his country he would leave his party.
FCries from the Democrats, &C Don't come
on our side.nl +, E.
Butler opposed the bill, and denied the
right Of Congress to legislate any man In
as the head Of a department.
Mr.. Schenck said if Buffers views pre-
vailed the whole bill would be destroyed.
He opposed the continuation Of the system
Of allowing the President to make ell the
appointments.
Mr.. Peters wanted the section stricken
out. He believed the bill wrong in prin-
ciple, the best way to prevent fraud being
to reduce the whiskey tax.
Several members agreed that the passage
of the bill would legislate Commissioner
Rollins out Of office.
Finally the sixth section, comforting the
appointing power on the Commissioner, was
stricken out-64 to As.
Mr.. Logan argued against bonded ware
houses and favored tax of 20 to rs cents
collectable at the worm of the still.
Mr.. Covode said he had a telegram from
the collector of his district saying thai
there were 100000 gallons of spirits in
the bonded warehouses in his district or
which owners could not pay the tax, as
spirits were selling on the streets at sl.5C
per gallon.
After further discussion, indicating q
wide diversity of views regarding details,
but no opposition to reduction Of the whis-
key tax, the House took recess till
o'clock.
