But the boats were unskillfully hapdled

those of n more private character, who loved
him. and were none the less loved By him.
There were the lights if the pulpit and the
bar and mingled with them those who have
lent honor and dignity to the pursuits OF
commerce. There were bis associates IN the
duties. the labors, and the responsibilities OF
the journal which he founded There we're
graceful and cultured women to whom
he had stood in relation almost pa
ternal. whose talents he had recognized ana
helped to bring to the wider recognition oi
50 many others. There were those VINO know
him only by his teaching, and who wept for
him as for one who had brought to them the
love of a higher earthly aim, the strength
to attain it, while every heart grew saddcr
with tender sympathies at the presence OF the
Young and doubly orphaned daughters TO
whom so short period OF time had brought
such unusual sorrows.
WHY need we speak of the demonstrations
outsjde the walls of the church i-Of the
throngs of citizens who crowded to gaze upon
! the procession, with respectful dccorum
which has never been surpassed upon such an
occasion in this city7 If stranger knowing
/ nothing of the cause of all this great con-
course had seen the population o. the city
gathered closely together upon the pavements;
/ if he had marked the long procession vending
/ its slow way down our chief thoroughfare; il
J he had observed upon every side the tokens OIL
general grief; if he had noticed something
: like general suspension of business; and
! if he had then been told that all these were
funeral honors paid to one who had manly
been teacher and guide of the people, he
might well have imagined us to be not wholly
inscnsbe to the purest virtue and the trues'
beneyolence and he would not have been
wrong. Whatever may be our social faults
and foibles, whatever may be our inhdelity to
( the standard of public duty, our ideal OF that
h duty is still high one. The expression OF
L popular feeling which was yesterday to be
4 observed, proves that the heart of the Ameri-
L can people is in the right place, and that II
Il has nicer power of discriminating between
pretension and sincerity, between the true II
q character and the false, than might sometimes
\ in the vicissitudes of public affairs be supposed
And so the mOurnful pageant is over. Il
remains for us to thank once more all who
have so cheerfully united to pay their honor
i TO our departed friend and leader, and here
4 publicly to recognize all the kindness ant
\ assistance which have tempered this mean
choly occasion. 1t remains for us, ala5' Il

are touched with charity. They are swift to
offer reparation to the dead for injustice done
the living. And the day Is not far distant
when Horace Greeley's last uct, the candidacy
that resulted from his passionate desire to lift
up the beautiful and PROSTATE South, and to
see the Union reunited and resplendent, will
seem the whitest and bravest of a long lifc'S
brave deeds.
If we had u Westminster Abbey, our friend
would yesterday have been laid therein. And
yet he would not have desired that stately
isolation. For he believed that more and
more, as the years go on, the sentiment of re-
ligion would refuse TO be entombed in cathc-
drals and TO cOnseCrato here and there build
ing. To him all places were sacred wherein d
great humanity had followed after the High
est. And he would have chosen the equal sky
for his canopy and the generous earth for his
bed, because the same rest and shelter are free
to all the race We can afford to leave HIM
in his unmarked grave. Time and Deatn'
those kindly cOunselors, have undertaken his
vindication who in life would never stoop to
vindicate himself, and to them we may safely
trust his fame.

Four States which gave popular majorities
for the Liberal candidates for President and
Wee President have reported their electoral
vote. The result will scarcely furnish
any precedent, though it came from essen
tally republican proceedings. Georgia, for
instance, divided its eleven votes for Presi-
dent among three names, and its vote for
Vice President in like manner. Maryland and
Tennessee threw all their votes for the Hon.
Thomas A. Hendricks for President and the
Hon. b. Gratz Brown for Vice-Presi-
dent In Arkansas there is an un-
happy contest. The Governor declares at
late hour that the State has chosen
Grant electors, ana he issues his commissions
accordingly. But the Liberal electors claim an
& election by the people, and have met and cast
d their votes for B. Gratz Brown for President
and Gen. Banks for Vice-PresideDt. Probably
+ they intend TO make their appearance before
z the Joint Convention Of Congress which counts
the vote in February. There is no unity OF
design in the voting of the four States named
Z but if time for consultation could have been
4 gained, some uniformity Of action might have
y been possible.

There were thousands of personal friends of
MI Greeley who, after all the most faithful
eIertions of the church and other committees,
were unable, yesterday, to gain admission to

all. The tickets were simply exhausted before
a 1.-THE of those whose claims everybody
recognized could be reached; and among those
thus excluded there were necessarily many

Perhaps the Cherokee Indians have some
quaint idea of revenge in their proposition to
Danish all white men from their nation. 1t
would be strange, indeed if this should be a
civilized Indian tribes return for wrongs and
oppression done to them in their days of
wildness. But the measure is violent one
It does not seem to be demanded by the cir
cumstances; and the best thing that can hap
pen would be for the chief to veto it. Ban
ishment of any race or color is out Of fashion

mediate result of the dispute as to the

New-York tribune., 1872-12-05

The United States Senate, though IN theory
a conservative and digDifed body, has never
shown the generosity and frankness OF the
more untcmpered House. So we need not be
surprised that the Republican caucus has
essentially determined so to reorganize the
Standing Committees that Liberal Republicans
will be displaced by those who have more
orthodox record in the caucus rooms. The
whole proceeding and especially the manner
of it, will disappoint many who have expected
a broader view of the feld of legislative duty
and responsibility than the Senate has seen fit
to take. But those disappointed VIII be
found solely outside the Senate, not among
It's members.
New-York tribune., 1872-12-05

The House Of Representatives made, yester-
day, a good beginning with the alleged extrav-
agance of the District of Columbia gov
eminent. Mr.. Rooseyelts resolution of
inquiry is simply directed to the
point whether the Board of Works have
exceeded the powers granted them by the or
eanic act. The evasion that official reports
show the dolngs of the Board did not, fOrtu-
nately avail; none know better than the mem
bers that official reports are not always con-
elusive evidence.
