Secretary John A, Rawlns died at
Washington at four o'clock and twelve
minutes on the afternoon ofthc 9Th Pres
idcnt Grant did not reach Washington
until nearly five p. IN. He was much af.
lccted while gazing upon the lilcess form
of his friend, and expressed deep regret
that owing to the non.deliyery of telc-
grams at Saratoga, he was prevented from
sooner starting for Washington. The final
interviews between Mr. RawlinS and
many of his friends were very affecting.
President Grant has appointed Gen.
Sherman to act as Secretary of War until
the vacant Secretaryship is filled. The
telegraph states that it is not the intention
of the President to make an appointment
as successor to the late Secretary Rawlins
for some time to come-probably not UNI
til the assembling Of Congress, and Gen.
Sherman proposes to act in that capacity,
and draw his salary as General, leaving
the salary Of Secretary of War to be APP
propriated by Congress to the widow of
The late Secretary.
The body of Secretary Rawins was ~
ing in state at the War Department on the
18th, National flags were displayed at half
mast over all the Departments and else
where throughout Washington. The in
termcnt was announced to take place on
the morning of the 9th GOV. Palmer, of
Illinois, telcgraphed to Washington propos-
