ton, from DIR. Brown Sequard, his ply
sician, relative to his treatment. The
chief justice has been for a long time
under the impression that his disease
was the result of fever and ague, con-
tracted several years ago in Michigan,
the peculiar feature of which was physi-
cal weakness and inability to labor con-
tinuOusly. For this reason he has for
sometime past refraiDed from attempt
/ ing any prOtracted mental labor.
There will be, il is thought by the Off
GERS of the cabinet now in Washington,
a meeting OF the cabinet Immediately
upon the return of the President to
| Washington, at which appropriate ac-
ton will be taken regarding the death
of the distinguished jurist and statesman.
AT NEW YORK.
NEw YORK, May S.-Numbers OF
friends Of Mr.. Chase called at the house
Of Mr.. Hoyt, his son-in-law, last night
and this morning, desiring to take last
look al the body and offer words of con-
dOlenCs to the mourners. Dispatches
were received to-day from General
Sherman, the secretary of navy, Gideon
Wells, and other prominent persons,
saying they will be present at the
/
pearance, and no token of acute suffer-
ing is perceptible. A smile still fingers
about his features as though he passed
away with pleasant thoughts and with
out pain. For weeks preceding his
death Chief Justice Chase had been
in the habit of constantly reading, or
having read to him, a work called
Worth OF the Soul, and .Other sermons.
Larr
far chosen to act as pail-bearers: John
J. Cisco, General Sherman, William NJ.
Evarts, Hamilton Fish, General Me-
Cn aries OCOnOr, William Cullen
Bryant and Caleb Cushing. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Chase was worth, at the
time of his death, from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred thousand dol
lars. In his will, made about two years
ago, he bequeathed a considerable sum
to the Dartmouth college and university
for cOlOred people, at WOrthingtOn,
Ohio. 1t is not known, however,
whether the terms OF this will have
been changed by later codicils.
Business at the courthouse to-day was !
generally suspended, owing to the ad- |
jOurnment Of nearly all branches Of the |
supreme court and court of common /
pleas, out of respect to the memory of
Chief Justice Chase. In the United /
States courts, remarks were made on l
the deceased jurist by District Attorney |
Bliss, William NJ. Evarts, Judge Wood /
ruff and others, and an adjournment |
taken. The court of general sessions
also adjourned.
The remains of Chief Justice Chase
will lie at st. Georges church, this city,
from eight in the morning to one O'Clock
IN the afternoon Saturday. This change
has been rendered necessary in cOnse-
Iuenee of family arrangements. At
.hree O'Clock the same afternoon funeral
services will take place as already an
bounced. The remains will reach
Sunday morning, and will
lie in state at the residence of Senator
Sprague during Sunday. On Monday
hey will lie at the METROPOLITAN
Methodist Episcopal church, where

IF viewing the remains. Services will
De held at this church on the same after
noon, after which interment will take
llace. During the day kilograms, ex-
1ressive of coincidence, were received
rom various prominent public men.
President Grant telegraphed regretting
lis inability to attend the funeral.
Governor L. f. NOyes, of Ohio, sent the
dispatch: "Ohio profoundly
nourns the death of Chief Justice
jhase. All hearts are filled with tender,
heartfelt sympathy for his bereaved
amily. A great man has fallen, and
lation is in sorrow.
