TIE LYING IN STATE.

The conventional term which describes the
ceremony of yesterday at the City Han Is
singularly inappropriate for an occasion sucn
as that. For there were none OF the stately
paraphcrnalia of mourning about Horace Gree
ley,s remains when his cOuntrymen, TO the
number of forty thousand, came to take their
last look on the familiar and long loved face
He Law in his coffin, guarded only by few
friends. and there were few decorations, ex-
cept the loads of flowers placed at his hcad
and feet by tender hands. 1t was in keeping
with the republican simplicity of his life that
no needless parade should be permitted about
his bier. and no official mOurners should disturb
the real sorrow of his friends.
How many his friends were, and who they
were, may be seen from the descriptions
which we publish this morning of the extra
ordinary scene. A whole city mourns for him.
The poor shed tears over him; the widow
masses before his corpse with breaking heart
and streaming eyes the labOring man stops
work that he may pay last tribute Of respect
to him who, as one OF that class eAcialiheu
Yesterday in the crowd, spent forty years IN
working hard for the benefit of workers. A
more spontaneous manifestation of universal
sorrow has not been seen by this generation'
II is the highest eulogy of his virtues, it is the
sweetest consolation to his friends, that all
Glasses crowd with so much sympathy about
his grave. In the presence OF such demon
STATIONS the ordinary pOmp OF simulated woe
would be a shock to every ones senslDlltles'

to be adopted, not only for this reason but
for others more important.
During the late campaign we have seen the
nayy-yards crammed with men, only to be dis
charged en- masse as soon as the election was
over. And this is the chief reason why labor
at navy-yards is so VIGOROUSLY lnencieh'.
Good workmen cannot bo had on such terms
They will not prostitute themselves to such
purposes. Such n course of treatment proves
to be a very effective agent for turning good
workmen into bad. We are certain that tue
vessels wanted can be cheaper and better con-
structed by private capitalists than under the
irresponsible and demoralizing system pursued
at the navy-yards. The ayowed oDJectS AoI
which tho new ships are asked being specu
and special police duty, let them be Duilt Oh

practice our constructors and wOrkmen IN the

VAR STEAMERS And NAVAL SERTICE
RFEORH


The Secretary of the Navy has recommended,
and bill was yesterday introduced in the
House of Representatives to make, an appro-
priation for the immediate construction Of
several new war steamers. Before Congress
enters upon an undertaking which is to absorb
probably from ten to twenty millions of pub
lie money, we hope they Will insist upon know
ing Just what is wanted, what it is wanted
for, whether it can be procured, and what 1t
viii cost. These circumstances, since the ap-
plication of steam as a motive power to men
Of-War, have not been sufficiently attended to
by our authorities. If we are to believe Mr..
Scofeld the Chairman of the Navy Com
mittee of the House Of Representatives, out
which compose our Navy, it is
impossible to keep 40 vessels in condition for
service in our various squadrons If this is
so, what testimony it affords to the incompe-
tency of those. who have had charge of the Navy
in the past Again, the Secretary of the Navy
asks for small cruisers, adapted for econOm-
&" cal and efficient distribution among our
" small peace forcep Mr.. Scofeld's bill pro-
vides for ten vessels, carrying ten guns Of
large caliber. Now we need not say that a
vessel, able to carry ten of our modern guns
of large caliber, is not small cruiser nor
can such vessel be built and fitted out for
100000, the amount which by Mr.. Scofeld's
bill is to be appropriated for the purpose.
1t is said that an important element in the
proposed new vessels is to be speed. If so
let the Secretary Of the Navy satisfy Congress
that it is in his power to obtain it. The
attempts of men in power at Washington to
provide their ships with suitable steam engines
have, as a rule, been signal failures. Some
vessels, we believe, have had TO be provided
with as many as three different engines before
they could be made to go and keep going.
One engine and then another has been taken
out and sold for old iron. Many of
our new war steamers are worthless SOLELY
because their engines are good for,nothing.
Immense sums have been wasted in experi-
menting with steam machinery, and we are
not aware that even now our naval construct
ors can form any close estimate of the speed
of a vessel until her machinery has been act
ually tested. This is not so in the merchant
service. If a steamship company orders YES
sci capable of making a certain number of
knots per hour, they get what they want or
don't pay. The United States can do the
same by having ships and machinery con-
structod at private yards, and this course ought

Merrimon, telegraphed to q friend in wash
ington that we" meaning himself and friends
had defeated the Democratic Legislature
"by eIecting Merrimon,' and had brought
over valuable and controlling element III
the State to the Administration. We are
glad that the defeated Senator takes so cheer
full view of the situation; but how the Leg
islature has been defeated by the candidate
elected by decisive majority OF that
body is not made clear. Never mind (;
what we want to see is the election OF an
honest man and the defeat of any and all
who make politics a mere trade. This has
been done; and, though the ill-feellng whicn
was at first engendered by the rival claims OF
ex-Gov. Vance and Mr.. Merrimon threatened
to destroy the chances of both, the event
proves that these acerbities are softened, and
that North Carolina must be included with
the States which profit by the new era oil
good feeling. 1t is an added cause for grall-
fication that the result rewards the man whom
we thought fairly elected to the Governorship
with the higher honors of the Senate.

Mr.. GREELEY AS Il NAN OF LETTERS.
1t is not strange that in making up an esti-
mate of Mr.. Greeley's character, men should
speak of him chiefly as a journalist, poll
tician, and statesman; for his life was
mainly passed in practical pursuits, and was
full of the comparatively coarse controversies
of party. There was a side of his nature and
peculiarity of his culture which were nat
urally not so open to the public eye, and only
the few knew how strong was his love Of the
best books, and how delicate, and even fas-
tidious, were his literary tastes. American
literature, when he was a young man, was
just beginning to have q somewhat distinct
character, and to exhibit something of original
vigor. We have before us file of The New-
Yorker, which was started in 1894. 1t was, we
need hardly say, miscellany of original and
selected prose and verse and we must admit
that what strikes us most fOrcibly upon in
specting volume of this journal is the ex-
quiste purity of taste which presided over
its columns, and which is not often
found in any young man, whatever may have
been his opportunities. The original verse. for
instance, a good deal of which was written by
Mr.. Greeley himself, may not be of high and
important order, but it always exhibits GER
tain degree of elegance and finish and careful
study of the poetical models then most in
vogue. Mr.. Greeley's verse shows what the
world hardly gave him credit for possessing,
though his friends knew VOL enough it was
his--a tender sensibility, if We may use that
word so often misused deep and unaffected
love of the beautiful, and an abiding reverence
for the most excellent Of our human affections.
Like many other men who find the business of
actual life too engrossing to permit con-
tinuance OF their young love of the ideal, Mr..
Greeley may have for the most part ceased 10
write but he never ceased to be a reader of
poetry. In this his taste was almost infallible.
While actually engaged IN the management of
a newspaper every day he was imporiuned
by Iietcr-mongers to give publicity 10 their
and the public knows how i'll
New-York tribune., 1872-12-04

The obsequios of Mr.. Greeley, which may be
said to have commenced upon the morning
when his death was announced, and to
have continued yesterday, when thousands took
their last look at his familiar features, will
this day be concluded with such Observances
rs are dictated by piety, affection and respect.
An announcement of the arrangements which
have been made for the occasion will be
found in the proper column. The ashes OF
the father and the husband will be placed
by the side of his children whose death
almost broke his heart, and of the be-
loved and cherished mother of those children
who so lately went before. This will con-
clude the immediate honOrs which will be paid
to the memory Of this great and good man.
The greater and more enduring honor will be
that which posterity will yield to one whose
charity was limited by no considerations of
creed or of caste; whose patriotism proved
itself superior to local passions, and unin-
fiuenced by considerations of latitude; whose
best political wisdom was manly recognition
of the beauty of brOtherly love, and of the
excellence of forgiving spirit.
Other columns detail the arrangements made
by our municipal authorities for the sad cere-
monies. Public officials, corporate bodies, clubs,
and other organizations, are to report at the
City Hall at a. M, or, for places in the pro-
cessiOn, to the Superintendent of Police. The
remains will be taken to the Church by only the
Family and Friends, Pail Bearers, THE TRIBUNE
employees, and newspaper Editors and organi-
zations. There is no admission to the Church
without tickets; and it is q source of keen
disappointment to the Committees that they
are unable to supply one in score Of the
applicants. But what building could hold Mr..
Greeley's mourning friends2

NATIONAL HONOR 10 THE DEAD.

Senators, yesterday, desired to propose reso-
lnfions in honor of Nh. Greeley's memory.
They stated their desire. and it was well
known that distinguished members OF the
body wished to make brief addresses. Sena-
tor Cameron thereupon moved an adjourn
ment of the Senate, Immediately upon its as
sembling, without even waiting for the read
ing of the journal. The contemplated action
was, therefore, neither taken nor proposed
Our dispatches indicate what Senator Sumner,
Senator Fenton, and others desired to say.
The action taken by the popular branch OF
the National Legislature respecting the death
Of Mr.. Greeley, to which we briefly alluded
Yesterday. is perhaps the highest honor ever
paid to the memory of a private citizen. 1t
was not the fortune of Mr.. Greeley to hold at
any time any Office under the General Gov
ernment, with q single brief exception. But
living, he was recognized as a power in the
State, and so will every man be who is TRUE
to the simple obligations of citizenship, and
who discharges them with cOnsummate ability
and singe-hearted patriotism. Now that Mr..
Greeley is gone, Representatives as well as their
constituencies begin to understand and frankly
TO admit that an honest, independent, aud ac-
complshed Journalist, being one who helps
to make and unmake public men, is just as
important a member of the body polite as if
he were intrusted with the enactment or with
the execution of the laws
1t would seem from the tone of the House
of Representatives in this and In some other
matters that we are Indeed, so far as the
people are concerned, approaching an era OF
good feeling Perhaps the death of the leader
of the Liberal party, if it was fated shortly to
occur could not have come at moro OppOr-
tune moment. 1t succeeds the animosities and
recriminatOns Of the canvass, to remind us
that we are brethren in our mortality and
that there can be no political honor so costly
and desirable as that which men, sooner or
later, spontaneously pay to him who works
well for worthy ends, and who, while little
Careless of the appreciation Of his fellow-citi-
zens, esteems the appreciation of his conscience
as of more value than the mightiest Of
maj0rities.
We are content with the action of the i'm
mediate representatives of the people, 1t
crowns with q certain historic dignity the
record of great and good life. 1t will do
much to remind the most private citizen of
the Importance of his position, and the re-
spectability of his public functions, just as
the career of Mr.. Greeley proves that political
success, as it is usually estimated, is not the
only condition of great and enduring fame.

END OF THE NORTH CAROLINA STRUGGLE

END of THE NORTH CAROLINA STRUGgLE.
Mr.. Augustus s. MerrimOn, late Liberal can
ddate for Governor, was yesterday elected
United States Senator from North Carolina,
for the term of six years, beginning March 4,
1873. This result is unexpected, as he had pre-
yiously been withdrawn by his friends, and
the Liberal vote was purposely scattered among
numerous candidates. The bailoting begun on
the 26th November, and gave ex-Gov. Vance
70 votes; Senator John Pool, 70; A. s. Merri-
mon, 49, These figures have not been materially
changed from day to day until Monday, when
Merrimon and Vance were withdrawn and
Pool received 80 votes, and the rest-107-were
scattered. In the ballot which resulted in
MerrimOn's election there were 1877 votes, of
which the successful candidate had 81 and
Pool had So and there are two votes missing. 1t
is evident that Merrimon combined the whole
Conservative and Liberal strength of tho Leg
islature, and took enough from Pool to make
his election sure.
Mr.. Merrimon, We believe, was honestly
chosen Governor of North Carolina last Spring.
He is now as honestly elected Senator from
North Carolina about this there can be no
dispute. His election will harmonic many
contending elements in North Carolina politics.
he is of democratic antecedents, butt was
supported for Governor by Democrats
and Liberal Republicans; party lines were
further disregarded in his election yes
terday, as the figures show. His
success withdraws from the Senate Mr.. John
Pool, whose partisan and somewhat narrow
views of public affairs have untitled him for
usefulness in the Senate or his own State
