There was no music in the line, but the pro-
CessiOn, as it slowly moved down the avenue,
presented magnifcently imposing appearance.
All were attired in deep mourning, and the
members of the common council and other
bodies were mourning badges. The decorations
along the route were generally in good taste
9Th avenue was densely packed, and every StOop
and window had its occupants Many OF the
mourning decorations on 9Th avenue were par
tiCularly tasteful, and ELECTED much praise.
The decoration OF the Blossom club house was
very pretty. Along the entire line of Broadway,
flags waved at half mast. The photograph
establishments OF Brady, Frederick and Bogar-
dus, each displayed a picture of MIR. Greeley,
drapcd in black; the columns of the Aston
house were entwined with black and white
cloth; Nine. DentoreSTs establishment, Brokaw
Bros and the Pacific fire insurance company,
were decorated with badges of mourning, and
the designs were of a peculiarly appropr late
character; at the headquarters of the liberal
republican committee, beautiful design
was displayed, on which was inscribed,
ave mourn the loss of our leader"
a store near Bond street bore the motto, elab
orately festooned with Grape, ellis honesty and
charity still lives" a store near Blocker street
bore another motto reading, "ln memory of the
Just" A great number of other buildings were
decorated. From 4jth street and 9th avenue to
the Battery the throng was continuous. The
high steps leading up TO the various buildings
we're crowded, and looking down Broadway the
scene presented tue appearance oil a sea OF up
turned faces.
While the procession moved the various
church and fire bells were ;Olled. There was
little business transacted after one o'clock The
public schools were dismissed at II O'Clock, and
in fact the day was observed very generally
throughout the city.
The president and his party turned out of the
procession at Beaver street, passed rapidly up
New street, and entered Broadway opposite
Trinity church, on their way up town, at rs
P. NJ. The president was warmly received as he
passed.
The Union ferry company had six ferry boats
in readiness for the m0urncrS, and transported
the funeral cortege to Brooklyn free Of charge.
80 p. M.--The funeral procession has passed
through Broadway TO South Ferry, thence to
Brooklyn and Greenwood cemetery and an i'm
mcnse concOurse of people are quietly dispensing.
At Greenwood an enormous cOncOurSe had
gathered standing about the entrance gates
and lringiug the winding roads concentrating
about the open grave, so that the m0uTners,
when the cortege arrived had the greatest diff
Guilty in following the hearse. Here the last sad
rites were performed, and the remains OF the
great editor consigned to their final resting
place.
The president and vice president returned TO
Washington tonight.
Thurlow Weed was pail bearer at his own re-
quest. Dudley S. Grcgor, also a pail bearer
was the man who lent Greeley the $1,000 with
which he started the Tribune
Among the many significant emblems dis
played at MIR. Grceley's funeral was simple
wreath of ivy leaves with Violets intertwned,
sent by Mr.. Whitelaw Reid to the Misses Gree
ley, with bricls expressions of sympathy on the
accompanying card. The Misses Greeley with
their own hands bound the wreath about the
coffin of their father as from one who to the
last had his confdencGand love. Applications
for tickets of admission to Chapin's church
reached Is 900, and fifteen hundred were issued
in excess Of its capacity. Many thousands
visited the church after the ceremony to inspect
the decorations,
LETTER OF EULoGY FROM WHITTIER.
NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The Tribune publishes
the following letter:
ANEsBURY, SecOud, Twelfth month, 1872.
Mu Dear Friend h. II. Chaplin:
Were it in my power, | would be present at
the last services of love and respect for our dear
and mutual friend, Horace Greeley. My heart
is full of sadness. The events of thirty years
crowd upon me. All things wherein we have
acted together or differed as friends, we differ
without impeachment OF motive or decrease OF
respect.
All that time have known him as the edu
Gator of the people in liberty, temperance, in
tegrity, economy and industry, uniformly TAX
ing the side of the poor and enslayed or suffer-
ing of every color and nationality. When
heard of his death there was mingled with my
grief feeling OF gratitude that had been pre-
served from saying one word through partizan
zeal or difference Of opinion which could
add bitterness to his life; that had none OF the
late remorse over the dead for unkindness to the
| living, which is one of the saddest burdens OF
humanity. could not refrain from this hasty
expression OF my sympathy with one who,
| more perhaps than any other, has enjoyed tue
| love and confidence OF the great editor. No
| words of praise are needed; they would be lost
| in the general eulogy. With common consent
| he will take his place in the Valhalla of Ameri-
can WORTHLESS as one OF the greatest and best
l am truly thy friend,
JoHS q. WHITTIER.
