notned the President that IL will be impossible to
carry 1t for the republican party II Cameron Is al
lowed to control the federal patronage. He says he
has no personal hostility to Cameron. but the senti-
ment OF the State is so much against him that II The
impression that he Is the organ OF the admnfstra-
tion Is allowed to prevail the State will go against
the administration. Covode, who now the chairman
OF the State Central Committee, will not accept the
nomination OF the republican party for Governor |
unless there is change the present tactics or the
administration. He does not propose to run and be
beaten.
Decentralization OF the Southern Republicans. |
The republican party in the Southern States seems |
to be gradually becoming demoralized. In Texas
the Senator's are making war upon Governor DAVIS.
In Arkansas Governor Clayton Is candidate for
Senator against Senator Mcdonald whose term ex-
pires the 4th OF March next In South Carolina
Governor Scott is arrayed against the entire Con-
gresslonal delegation from that State. In Louisiana
Governor Warmoth, 1t is said by some is preparing
to 60 over to the democrats, and lively fight in
progress between HIM and Lieutenant Governor
Dunn. There is little reliance, however. to
be placed IN this allegation against the Gov
ernor. 1t arises, probably, from his opposition
to some OF the appointments made by the
President in Louisiana. during his recent visit
here Governor Warmoth spoke in the most
cheerful manner not only Of the material prosperity
OF the State but Of the continued supremacy OF the
republican party. Still, looking at the Southern
section altogether, the general impression among
Southern politicians here IL that according to pre-
sent appearance majority or the Southern States
VIII 90 democratic the Presidential election.

The brothers OF General Walbrldge were also
IN the mournful throng with the immediate
family or the deceased. The casKet containing the
| remains had an outer casing OF rosewood, adorned
with wreaths and crosses OF choice flowers, and the
| face OF the deceased was exposed to view. On the
wall was full lekyth picture OF the General taken
In his earlier years. Rev. Dr. Buck, the Protes-
| tant Episcopal Church, read The funeral service
and was followed by Rev. DR.. Samson, OF the Bap.
tist denomination, in a brief address, in which he
spoke Of the great intellectual capacity OF the de-
i publc
enterprises, and OF his Christian faith the dying
| hour. The procession which a very long one
| moved to Glenwood Cemetery, where the body OF
| Mr.. Walbridge was inferred
It is understood that the deceased had endeavored
to bring about more friendly relationship than had
| for some time existed between President Grant and
| Horace Greeley. As an incident OF the funeral II
was noticed that after the services at the cemetery
| were concluded the President went over to where
| Greeley was standing and invited him to ride back
In his carriage with him. 1t was observed also that
| Senator Fenton, who had SO strongly opposed Mr..
Murphy's confirmation as Collector OF New York
| and Mr.. Murphy himself were among the pal-bear
| ers. The solemnlty OF the occasion suggested the
idea that perhaps certain reconciliatons may have
resulted from this meeting at the grave OF the de-
| parted General.

thai that paper is for sale. The ostensibe reason

to the Press. It is well known, however, that the
administration has not accorded the Chronicle the
! support which Colonel Forney expected, although
the relations between himself and the President are
OF the most cordial character 1t is understood that

| Immediately.
