Ex-President Pierce's Funeral.

the late Franklin Pierce left here to-day to attend
his funeral.
Wilson and Non-Proscription.
When Senator Wilson was here few days ago, he
manifested spirit OF cancellation towards the South
which his political opponents scarcely expected of
him, and expressed himself as utterly opposed to
the policy Of prescription which the administration
had Inaugurated in Texas and Mississippi. His argu-
ment was that because man was for Dent in Mis-
sissipp or for Hamilton IN Texas, he was not neces-
sarly an opponent of either the Republican party or
the administration of President Grant. He was,
therefore, opposed to wholesale removals of all Dent
and Hamilton men from Office in their respective
States, but advocated such course as would heal
all differences and unite the opposing elements of
the party. The result of his conference with the
President was that the wholesale slaughter OF office
holders, IN Texas especially, which had just been
commenced, was temporarily suspended.
General Butler ...
has been here since Senator Wilson left and he
takes another view Of the matter and goes In strong
for prescription. He urges renewal OF the official
slaughter there, and his advice will probably be
taken. Butler does not think Wilson would be in
favor OF appointing men to office in New Hampshire.
In Mourning.
Forney's Chronicle is in mourning for Pierce.
