General Meade

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. n.-Business is
almost entirely suspended, and the city
has a holiday appearance. Flags are ev-
erywhere draped in mourning, and even
buildings, out of respect to the memory of
General Meade. The route over which the
funeral cortege is moving is filled with
people. Early this morning the body of
the deceased was removed from the house
to st. Marks Church, where it was placed
in front of the altar, guarded by a detail
selected by General Mcdowell. Long be-
fore half-past 10, the time fixed for the
services, the church was packed. The
officiating clergymen were Rev. Mr., Hotf-
man, rector; Bishop Odenheimer, and
Bishop Whittle. The first named Bishop
read the prayers, and the latter made an
address eulogistic of the deceased.
The funeral procession commenced NOV
ing about halt-past IL o'clock, and took
nearly one hour to pass given point.
The national, State and city officials We'd
with private citizens to do honor to the
dead
The coffin was carried on gun carriage,
drawn by six horses, followed by "a led
horse, with saddle and vacant ooots re-
versed. The coffin was covered with the
American colors, with a sword and wreath
on top.
Gen. Grant, in citizens dress, rode in an
| open carriage, accompanied by Mr. George
| II. Stuart and other gentlemen. Generals
| Sherman, Sheridan, and other army ofli-
| GERS appeared in full uniform. The pro-
cession was very imposing.

the North Carolina roads would amount
to 100000 annually. In conclusion he
repeated his challenge to his critics, TO
show that he had ieopardized anybody's
interests by his administration, or had
failed to faithfully protect the interests of
his stockholders.
Mr.. Ingersoll then asked by what au-
thorty the North Carolina Road had been
aided by the payment of the 100000 in
question ? Mr.. Wilson replied that If In
gersoll and others would divest themselves
of the character of Mahone's attorneys and
come to him as stockholders he would inn
part any information cheerfully, but he
would not expose the business of the road
to insidious attacks from Malone or his
agents, and in defence of his administra-
ton showed the advance in value of stock
on this road, while on the other hand Gen.
NJ IS line had deprecated.
After some sparring between the rival
counsel-in which Col. Thornburgh offered
5000 shares for sale at par which was de-
clined unless the amount was increased to
10000 shares-the vote on the reception of
the Presidents report was ordered to be
taken by stock as the first business of the
afternoon session.
The meeting then adjourned until half
past one o'clock.

The Knoxville Press and Herald says
che must have been a very hopeful Demo-
crat who expected it the party tosurvive
as an organization either the defeat or the
election of Horace Greeley" This, com
ing from the Press and Herald, whose edi-
tor drafted the resolutions adopted by the
Tennessee Democratic State Convention,
which was the first TO declare for Greeley
and Brown, tells us that he indicated Il
policy for the Democracy of Tennessee,
which he knew would be the death of the
party. The Democracy can better succeed
without those advisers who would compass
its death.

Hon. Horace MAYNARD.

Hon. Horace Maynard, of Tennessee,
arrived in this city yesterday morning, d.
rect from Knoxville, Tennessee. Mr..
Maynard has good reason to he proud ofthe
grand victory he achieved in the recent
canvass in Tennessee. Nominated by the
Republicans as their candidate at large for
Congress, he had for his opponents eX-
President Andrew Johnson, Independent
candidate, and the Confederate Major
General Cheatham, the regular nominee
of the Democratic party. Together they
stumped the State from one end to the 9TH
er, addressing the largest audiences ever
assembled in that State to hear political
discussions. Mr.. Maynard came Off tri-
umphant.
We congratulate the people of Tennes-
see for having chosen so able and honest a
statesman as Horace Maynard for their
representative in Congress.
Tennessee will be represented in the next
Congress by seven or eight Republicans
and two or three Democrats Washington

Pretty Good.

About the commencement of the late UNI
pleasantness, Judge Sam. Rice made a
speech in North Alabama, in which he
said the Southern soldiers can whip the
Yankees with pop-guns."
After the war, when things wore diff
ferent aspect, he CHANGED tomake another,
but a very dfferentsort ofspeech in the same
place, when an indignant voter who had
heard and remembered theformer bOastful
harangue rolled up his sleeves and ap-
preached the Judge as follows
"Sam Rice, didn't you make speech
here i'm 1861 ?n
II did," said Sam.
"And didn't you say that we could whip
the Yankees with pop-guns"
Certainly / did but the id rascals
wouldn't consent 10 fight us that way ?"

tlemen were elected:

Majority,
SECOND DAY.


The Stockholders of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia Railroad met yes
terday morning at 10 O'Clock, Jos, r. An
derson, Esq, in the chair.
Col. Baxter moved that the report of the
President be taken from the table.
Judge Barton moved that the stock hold
ers proceed to the election of Directors.
Mr.. Ingersoll hoped that the report
would be discussed before going into the
election, or at least that some questions be
answered.
Col. Baxter stated that under the pro-
visions of the charter the election must
take place before o'clock.
Judge Barton suggested the eXpediency
of opening the polls at once, which would
allow the discussion to proceed, and IL any
gentleman desired to change his vote he
would be permitted to do so.
Judge Barton renewed the motion to
| take the report of the President from the
| table and Col. Baxter moved its adoption.
adding that the present board invited full
discussion rs to the report and he hoped
! the gentlemen would talk freely.
AIr. Ingersoll said that there was a dis
crepancy between the views of the Direc-
tors counsel and the report of the Presi'
dent, extracts from which he read, and
asked what the report did mean if it was
not TO he literally construed?

STEWARDS MARBLE BUILDING on Fifth
avenue, which he has erected for home,
Is approaching completion. Ii is nearly
furnished. and will be ready for occu-
pancy early in the spring. 1t is, with
out question, the most superb private
residence in the country. 1t has cost
threo millions without the furniture.
The most celebrated artists have been
over three wears in frescoing the cell
ings. The frcscoes are unequaled, cx-
cept by those in the Prince Albert Ball
Room at Buckingham Palace The
style of the building has been adapted,
because it is reported, Stewart intends
TO donate it to the city for gallery when
he gets through with it. 1t is sepul-
chral place, with its stone floors and
stone stairs, nav, requiring a fire sum
mer and winter TO keep it habitable.
Mrs. Stewards room is an exception.
The wood work on her suite alone cost
$4,000 Every room has a carpet i'm
ported and made to fit it. and the color
OF each is different. The doors are solid
rose wood with silver trimmings, and
it cost 5000 to hang each door in the
parlor. The picture gallery is complete
Several Of the pictures have cpst over

and ingenious contrivance. After the
parlors, the two most celebrated rooms
in the house are Gen. Graut's room"
which is fitted up in great elegance,
for Mr.. Stewart and the President are
great friends; then comes the servants
parlor.' This is fitted up more gorgeous
" than mos parlors in the city. Cur
tains, mirrors. imported carpets, ele-
giant chairs covered with red leather,
and pictures adorn the room. Huge
ranges, and every conceivable moderu
