only one Of its members ever com

shortly amer death by the same en-
balmers who did that mournial duty
for President Lincoln. Immediate,
ly amer this was done the remains
were taken 10 the room in the War
Department occupied by General
Sherman, MS the Office OF the Gene

erecting a oataiaeo. The latter con-

coffin rests on q feet in length and
2 feet in breadth. This Is covered
with black cloth, draped neatly with
Grape and bombaxine. Here the
corpse was deposited, and large
numbers OF people passed through
tho room TO gazo upon the face of
the dead man. The funeral takes
place tomorrow. Tho Departments
are closed until after the obscquies
are over, and the banks and other
places of private business will also
suspend operations until tho fune-
raj is over. Many hundreds of per.
sons from other cities will partici-
pate in the last exercises in honor
OF the only statesman and purc

Tho Lot Of the administration is
gone, called away by God himself.
and if Grant appoints in his stead
either of tho most prominent can
didatos for the place, woman mur-
dcrcr Holt, or moustache Logan, il
will be proof positive that the AL
has fore-doomed this admin
istration to at least political damna-
tion rs speedily and overwhelming
as he did the cities of the Dead Sea.
The personal damnation OF the Rad
ical leaders has already been dcfin-
itively settled by the Fiend, and the
LORD having given them up long
ago, takes no interest in their future
welfare. The only regret l have in
the matter is that the Devil is so
tardy in claiming his own.
Another Radical "dodge" to put
moro money into the pockets of
members Of Congress and |
SPECTATORS is on the "carpet." The
National Republican of this morn

private character between members
of Congress and parties connected
with the revenue service here, plain
ly indicates a determination on the
part of the former to increase the
whskcy tax. They say that the
present successful administration of
the Revenue Bureau will warrant
such q movement, and argue that n
successful collection of an increased |
tax will warrant decrease of the
income tax OF somc other burden
some impost" 1 predicted this pro-
posed increase of the whiskey tax
in my letters six weeks ago, and
said it was the result of grand |
scheme on tho part of the large
distillers. They proposed |
to buy up members of Congress
enough to carry through such bill.
They propose by this means to
break up the smaller distilleries,
md having accomplished that enjoy
q monopoly of the business. Of
course they intend to evade the pay
ment of the increased duty. AS to
the Radical party's relieving the
country of any burden, that is so
an idea that it don't
admit of moments thought.
