MIR. Greeley's Funernl--Impressiye Cereu,o.
hies-Distinguished Persons Present.
New YORK, December, 4.-As early
as D O'Clock crowds flocked to the church
OF the Divine Paternity, but only those
that had tickets succeeded in getting
in. BY l o'clock the galleries which
had been reserved for the ladies were
crowded. About IL o'clock President
Grant entered, followed by Senator Will
son. Minister Washburne, and Secretary of
War Belknap, all of whom were seated on
the right of the pulpit. There was also
present Senators Schurz, Trumbull and
Vice-President Colfax. Promptly ct IL
O'Clock the funeral procession started from
Mr.. snclair's house, on Forty-ffth street.
Many affecting scenes took place there
during the morning. Mr.. Greeley's
daughters were inconsolable in their grief.
The corpse was borne by ten men next
came the clergy, mourners, and then the
TRIBUNE Association |; next TO them the
Herald Club, followed in succession by the
military, and the civil officers of the United
States located in this and the adjoining
cities; officers of the State of New York
and of other States now in the city; the
Mayor and members ofthe Common Coun-
ell; Mayors and members of the Common
Councils of Brooklyn, Jersey CITY, Long
Island City, Newark, Elizabeth, represent
tatives from Philadelphia, Baltimore and
other cities; then came the Judges from oil
the courts, and a line Of citizens of i'm.
mense length.
At l1:20 A. M. the procession entered
the church. The solemnity of the scene
was OF the most impressive character; the
stiffness was such that it seemed that the
vast audience scarcely breathed.
Among those present in the church were
Postmaster General Cresswell, General
Dix, Governor Morgan, General Sheridan.
Governor Randolph, Of New Jersey, and q
committee of twenty from the Union League
club.
The Rev. DR.. Chaplin opened the funeral
services by reading a selection from the
Scriptures, many of the illusions being De-
culiarly appropriate to the character Of the
deceased. Miss Clara Louisa Kellogg then
sang in most touching manner, II Know
that my Redeemer Liveth." After which
the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher delivered
the funeral Grafton. Both he and Rev. DIR.
Chaplin spoke eloquently and in feeling
terms Of the deceased. The services
closed a quarter past one o'clock, but the
procession did not move from the church
until nearly two o'clock. At the latter
hour the earthly remains of Mr.. Greeley
were borne away and conveyed to Green.
wood Cemetery.

HOW TO GO WEST.

This is an enquiry which every one
should have trUhfuly answered before
he starts on his journey, and a little
care taken in examination of Routes
will in many cases save much trouble,
time and money.
The &C. b. e. @. RR.," running from
Chicago, Though Galosburg to Bur
lington, and the 81. b. & w. Route"
running from indianapolis, through
Bloomington to Burlington, have
achieved a splendid reputation in the
last two years as the leading Passen-
ger Routes to the West. AT Burling-
ton they connect with the b. & NJ. II.
II. and form the great Burlington
Route, which runs direct through
Southern Iowa to Nebraska and Kan
sas, with close connections to Califor-
MIA and the Territories; and passen-
gers starting from Tionesta, on their
way westward, cannot do better than
to take the Burlington Route.
This Line has published pamphlet
called Chow to go West" which con-
tains much valuable information n

THAT ROOSTER.

We are are credibly informed that
the Democrat procured a rooster with
which to decorate its columns over the
Democratic victory in North Carolina.
1t wasn't used. The Democratic vic
tory in North Carolina didn't happen
to be Democratic victory hence the
neglect, on the part of the Democrat
to decorate its columns with the afore-
said rooster. Such disappointments
are keen, and when feller pays out
his money for a rooster, he likes to
have occasion to use him. This was
not live rooster, and cannot be cook
ed and gobbled; but was made of type
metal, and hence is a dead weight on
the hands of its proprietor. We
wouldn't advise the Democrat to throw
away the bird, but save it; perhaps
jerks township will go Democratic
this fall, and then can that bird ap-
pear, flap his wings, crow, and again
be consigned to its coffin.
The Democracy all over the coun-
try are considering themselves perfect
ly safe to carry the whole Democratic
vote for Greeley, and about one-third
to one-half of the Republican vote be-
lies. BY looking about little, and
enquiring some, anybody who is curious
to know chow the. old thing works,
can be speedily convinced that the
aforesaid Democracy are slightly mis-
taken in their calculations. The fol
lowing is from a correspondent of the
Pittsburgh Commercial, who lives Al
Catfish, Clarion County:
AS the Post has agreed to furnisl
the names Of five Republicans who
will vote for Greeley, for every one
Democrat that will not, we will in
form you that we can furnish the names
of over thirty Democrats in this 10
cality, within a radius of one and {
half miles, who declare positively they
will not vote for Horace Greeley, anC
a great many of whom will give thei
votes to Grant. If you want list o
them drop us line and we will fur
nish them. Yours truly,
S. A. BUsHMAN.

THE MEsSAGE.-We print the mes
sage of the President this morning as
it was transmitted to us by the Asso.
ciateo Press. Doubtless there are nm
important errors in the report furn sh.
ed by telegraph, and in our efforts to
make sense OF some paragraphs which
the telegraph operators badly confus
ed, we do not claim success. But
we have the substance of the message,
if not the actual text and know what
the President means, especially about
the vigorous execution of the enforce
ment acts.
The above extract, Tor comment) we
copy from the n. o. Republican of the
3rd inst. Most of our readers viii
have read the Message, or had the OPP
portunity of so doing, and the various
comments, before the Gozette is laid
before them.
Rapides gazette. (Alexandria, La.) 1869-187?, 1872-12-14


OUR BEST PROTECTION.-lt is edi.
tying to be told that the President has
determined to do something for the
South. aud that our misf0rtunes will
be bridged over just 40 soOD as this
beneficent action is consummated. Will
any sensible man say to MS cOnfiden-
TALLY or otherwise what he expects
when The President has actedi What
can any one man do for the South !
Stop and think, reader, and sum up
the powers and capacities Of the Pres
ident, and then ask Yourself how he is
to benefit The South. We have all
the law we want, and more than does
us good. We can go where we please,
work for whoever pays us, say what
we please, and do all that the citizen
of the North can do. How is General
Grant to enlarge our blessings, then
When the South learns how to rely
upon herself, she will do better than
she does now in waiting for help from
strangers. Oar salvation is in 0ur own
hands and not in that OF the President,
and we should thank heaven that it Is
so. for otherwise some outsider might
ruin us before we could protest.
