the board, it seems, has not yet detsrmin-

Messrs. Searle, Young and Clayton
were elected an executive committee for

And now, that the board is thoroughly

Secretary Stanton's Dying Opinion o
Grant.
rcorre,pondence of the New York World.l
WASHINGTON, October 4.


A distinguished Louisanian was in
Boston recently, and had an interview
with Senator Sumner, at his room at the
Coolidge House. During lengthy con,
versation with him, Mr.. Sumner related
an interview, the last he ever had with
Edwin NJ. Stanton, the late secretary OF
war. 1t took place shortly prior to Mr.
Stanton's death Mr.. Sumner had made
one Of his customary calls Mr. stanton
requested Mr.. Sumner to come near his
bedside The dying man placed his hand
in that Of Mr.. Sumner, and smd:
"Sumner, / am going over the rives
I shall never recover. | wish to say one
word to you before die"
Sumner-I hope that you are not dy
ing, Mr. Stanton, but go on.
Stanton, (enphatically Gen Grant
cannot administer this government. lie
is not equal to the duties.
Sumner-Mr Stanton, your statement
is broadg
Stanton-I mean it as broadly as |
state it.
Sumncr-Why did you not mention
this before the nomination?
Stanton-I was busy in my office, and
was not consulted by the politicians who
made the nomination. They did not take
me into their councils.
Sumner-But, Mr. Stanton, you made
speeches during the campaign; Why did
you not state this important fact then
Stanton-You examine my speeches,
and you will not find one word in favor
Of Gen. Grant for president spoke for
the republican party only
Sumner-But you say Grant cannot ad-
minister the government. He succeeded
well in the army, and the people gave
credit for our success.
Stanton stretching forth his right
hand d)-Ssnator Sumner, this hand sup
piled him with men and money unlimited
| gave him the direction of affairs. | am
dying, Mr. Sumner, and state this to
you Use it whenever the interest Of the
country demand it.
At the time Mr.. Sumner made this
statement about his farewell interview
with Mr.. Stanton, he did not agree with
the gentlemen from Louisiana as to the
merits of Gen. Grant, and made this plain
to the group Of gentlemen who were lis
tencrS to the senator.

I. o. o. r.

According to previous notice the Lodge Of
Odd-Fellcws. At this place, aided by many
brethren from the Lodge at Fort Smith, on
Friday last. paid last and fitting tribute to
the memory Of those brethren who died dur
Ing the war, and who were not buried by
their lodges. The procession, accompanied
BY our cornet band, marched from the Lodge
room up Main street to the City Cemetery.
They there formed around the grave Of each
brother succsssiyely and a short eulogium
was pronounced by Mr.. ORRIcK. The cere-
mony is something new to US, but We must
say it struck us as highly appropriate, and de-
monstrates the truth of the professions Of
Odd-fellowship. None can fail to see the
beauty of their tenets in these ceremonies.
They fill us with respect for an order that
thus exists in the pure atmosphere ofFriend-
ship, Love and Truth, even amid the hustle,
str tfv --,,,, esvrvr,ug -~--Arld- s-----
We see this band OF brothers laying aside all
the causes Of contention, striving together to
keep the fire perpetually burning on the al
tar Of Friendship. Their gentle and healing
influence is felt by the bereavcd heart, and
their Love is not chilled by the cold touch OF
Death. Each one is ever watchful of the
character and welfare of his brethren, and
falsehood Is never permitted to dim the bright
ness OF Truth. Such ceremonies as we wit
messed Of FrdaA are calculated to bring us
all closer together and make us feel more
like brethren indeed. Every thing was done
with dignity and in order. Returning to the
Lodge, the brethren dispersed. and late in the
afternoon the Fort Smith brethren left for
home, feeling conscious of having well per-
formed sacred duty to the memory of the
departed.
