THE FUNERAL OF Elk GOVERNOR
JOHNSON.

The funeral of Ex-Governor J. Nicely
johnson, which took place Sunday
last, is given in the Salt Lake Journal
asfollows:
yesterday afternoon all that wa:
mortal of the late Governor j. Nicely
Johnson was laid away in the bosom
of mother earth, in the presence OF
large number of friends who had as
sembled to pay the last token of res
pect to his memory.
At one O'Clock the remains, enclosed
in a handsome silver mounted casket
which bore a silver plate upon the top
containing the name, age and date OF
death of the deceased, were placed in
one of the parlors Of the Salt Lake
House and exposed to view. Many
hundreds of ladies and gentlemen took
this occasion to gaze upon the familiar
features of the late Governor for the
last time. At little before two O'Clock
the Masons of the city united with Ar
genta Lodge No. 3. Theodore F. Tracy
Acting Master, and left the Lodge room
and crossed over to the Salt Lake
House and formed in an open double
line in the street. Captain Balls was
Marshal on the occasion. Soon the re
mains were brought down stairs by
the pail bearers. who We're Governor
Woods, Judges Hayden, McCurdy and
Morgan, Len Wines and Charles c.
Cunningham, and passing through the
line of Masons, were placed in the
hearse. The Masonic body then
marched to the head of the hearse and
the procession moved to the st. Marks
Church, when the beautiful funeral
service of the Episcopal Church was
read by Bishop Tuttie and Rev. Mr..
Kirby, the Rector. The church was
crowded by a large and respectable
audience. After the services the re-
mains were again placed in the hearse,
and the mourners, pail bearers, Ma
sons and the pnblic generally pro
ceeded in carriages to the U. 5. Gem
etry, at Camp Douglas, when the Rev.
Mr.. Kirby completed the services OF
the chuic@, and Mr.. Tracy read those
prescribed by the Masonic Ritual, in a
solemn and impressive manner, the
Masons giving the grand honors, and
placing in the grave the sprig of ever
green. The services were throughout
extremely impressive. The assem-
blage then returned tothe city, leaving
the dead with the dead.
1t a befitting that the remains of
a gentleman who has been so promi-
nent in the State. and had filled SO
many public stations, should be re-
ceived in the burial ground belonging
to the nation. May his ashes rest in
peace!n -s

A dispatch, dated Boston, Septem

A dispatch, dated Boston, Septem
Der 4, says:
sit was Summers intention to de-
liver a speech on the presidential qnes-
ton at Faneuil Hall last night, bnt, as
he informs F. w. Bird in a letter, his
health has become so impaired that
his physician forbids his speaking, and
~prescribes absolute rest. The speech
is therefore published. 1t is devoted
to an elaborate comparisons OF Grant
and Greeley. in which he repeats his
former charges against the President,
and lands the history and c~haIac.er)of
Greeley. He takes the ground that
the one term principle is the corner
stone Of the reformed civil service1 and
that reconciliation il the principal and
most important issue ever presented
to the American people. He regards
the support of the Cincinnati platform
and nominees by the Democrats as a
matter for the greatest rejoicing and a
hopeful sign, and says their votes will
be a new bond of peace, and a new as
surance for the great principles upon
which the Republic is founded.

1t now turns ont, after all that has
been said about Duncan and Pome
roy's Convention, at Louisville, that
out of the twenty-seven States said 10
have been represented, but about
twenty delegates were present in per-
son-the balance of the votes having
been forwarded by telegraph and
Grants mail bags. Think OF six votes
from Nevada. when it is we'll known
that no person left the State for that
purpose, and indeed it is a question in
our mind if there are six Democrats
in the State opposed to the election OF
Horace Greeley.

How is it, after being strengthened
by power during four years of peace
and prosperity, the Organization that
elected President Grant SO triumphant
IL is now compelled to put forth al
most s~uperhuman efforts to ave him
from defeat even in sterling Repnbli-
can States? One answer to this conun-
drum is, not Grant alone and his load
OF paid relatives, his selfish and cor
rupt measures, but the people are also
to rote for the continuance of the Con
g~ressiona. policy towards the Southern
SAFES, and for the Retention of the
present Presidential advisers.

The only railroad in Mexico is that
connecting the Capital with Vera Cruz.
The expenses last year of that part of
the road which is completed between
the City of Mexico and Pueblo, a dis
lance of ISL miles, were $352,650; the
receipts, S6S9, 235-leaving a balance of
S336,5S5. The expense of the II miles
between Vera Cruz and Forth were
1851 ola; the receipts. $500. S3O-leaving
q balance of S39,Sl5. The expenses
were very heavy, on account of the
number of troops employed to keep
tie road secure from gnerrillas and
bandits. The line is principally owned
by English capitalists. 1t will be com.

ZEE LOUISVILLE coKvEETI0N.

The Louisville Convention met on
the 81 instant, and a session of two
days has succeeded in demonstrating
the utter folly of the movement.
Charles O'Conor was nominated by
the Convention for the presidency,
but u?on being notified of the fact he
promptly declined the honor. Upon
the receipt of Mr.. O'Conor's telegram
cf declination, MI. Liddy, of New
York, insisted that the nominee ''must
run, anyhow Then a delegate
moved an adjournment sine die. This
motion the Chairman ingeniously
avoi led submitting to the Convention
by remarking, "If you do adjourn 1
won't vote for either candidate"
Neither horn of this dilemma was &C
ceptable to the straight outs" and
Grants own Soon the Chairman.
Judge James Lyon Of Virginia, was
Nominated by reclamation for Presi-
dent Of tie United States, but this
wouldn't do, and Blanton Duncan
moved that the Convention adjourn
ITO reflect upon the subject"
The Convention is now 'rehecting."
Should they do themselves and the
subject justice, and take due time for
reflection, this is the-Iast that we will
ever Lear of them. The accounts
show that Nevada cast six votes. We
should like to know who its delegates
IKE, and who sent them:

"Birds of a feather flock together"
At the Louisville Convention, mention
is made of the appearance Of George
Francis Train. 1t seems, however,
that George discovered himself al
unwelcome visitor, as lie had scarcely
time 10 open his mouth before loud
cries were heard to "Put him out,''
which was done in short order. The
show failed to give satisfaction to the
audience in attendance, but promised
a better effort tee following day.

hands quietly laid garlands by the casket
on whose pillow the imperiOuS face lay
upturned in its mute, unseeing helpless
ness. Business stopped and men stood
about silently Even those who did not
feel grief were stunned by the sudden
ness of the dispensatlon. They were
trying to get at the reasons, and finally
despairing of finding them, went anew
into eulogy. They eXerted themselves
to do honor to the man as one of their
own. Thus much is absolutely true. 1t
is not to be supposed that Fisk's enemies
would come to his funeral.
THE STATEMENT OF HIS EARLY FRIENDS.
Let us take the dead Col. Fisk, and
show how his mother town received
her fallen offspring. Three brawny
women, farmers wives, good and hearty,
drove up at a very early hour to the
door of the Revere House. One Of them
clutched a bystander: SIS jim Fisk up
there ?" she said. She had fastened rev.
erently to pay respects to the dead. She
stood for a few minutes by the coffin,
then bursting into a food Of tears, said
''Why, that's Jim's face, just as it was
when he was bOy--sO strong, so full
of health, and rushed away to hide her
grief.
