of our fathers, bless this nation and all ma
lions; bless us and all men together, and
when VIC come to Thee, open Thou for us the
portals of eternity, and crown our souls with
a pure, a blessed and glorious Immortality,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour.
Amen.
The benediction was then pronounced by
DIR. Sunderland, and Mr.. Carpenter, as pre-
siding officer, said:
Now the Senate of the United States in
trust the remains of Charles Sumner to its
Sergeant-at-Arms and the committees APP
pointed to convey them to his home, there
to commit them, earth to earth, ashes to
ashes, dust to dust, in the soil of the Com
monwealth of Massachusetts. Peace to his
ashes.
REMOVAL OF THE REMAINS TO THE DEPOT.
The coffin was then closed, and the flow
ers having been replaced, it was removed
from the Chamber, followed by the COM
mittee appointed by the Senate and House
TO accompany the remains to Boston, viz:
Senators Anthony, Schurz, Sargent,
Orlesby, Stockton and McCreery; and
REPRESENTATIVES IIurlbut of Illinois, Hale of
Maine, Foster of Ohio, Rainey of South
Carolina, Clayton of California, Scudder of
New York, Randall of Pennsylvania, Beck
of Kentucky, and Hancock of Pennsylvania.
Every one remained standing as the coffin
was removed from the Chamber. The men,
bcrs of the House of Representatives, SUI
preme Court, President and Cabinet, and
other invited guests then successfully re-
fired in the order named, as their exit was
called for by the President pro tempore. The
Senate was then called to order. The Sem
ate then. on motion of Mr.. buckingham, at
LILO O'Clock, adjourned till Tuesday next.
As soon as the Senate adjourned a rush
was made by a large number OF women and
some men to the vacant scat of Senator
Sumner, to gain possession of the flowers
which had been placed upon his desk, and
similar attempts were made to carry OIL part
of the floral decorations that had been re-
moved from the catalogue and coffin. The
crowd managed to obtain possession of a
good MANY of the flowers before the officers
Of the Senate could interfere. The coffin
having been carried out TO the entrance of
the senate wing of the Capitol, was deposit
ed in a llearse drawn by four white horses,
and attended by mounted policemen was
followed to the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad depot 10y procession Of the mem
bcrs of the Civil Rights League, a colered
organization of this city, numbering about
100 colOred men headed by Frcd'k Douglass
and eX-Iieut. Gov. Pinchback of Louisiana.
Next to this organization followed carriages
in charge of Sergeant-at-Arm French, con-
tanning the Committees OF the Senate and

10Th instant on account of my comments on
wILBERFoRcE UNIVERSITY

NihbbhrOIfCE UNIVERSITY
My reply TO "Radical" was sufficient fer
anybody except the eminent African Metho-
dist ID. d., who says he 'carcs nothing about
the facts Depugh essayed to bring to the
light" Of course he don't; nobody expects
him to; but do; and as it is a habit with
me not to "cast pearls before swinc," can
have no discussion with him.
To Miss leila II. Ball would say, am
sorry she so completely misapprehends my
position or opinion on the matter. The
latter was based upon what 1 received as
facts. If they were untrue l would gladly
make retraction and publish the names Of
the several parties from whom it was OBJ
tanned. No one thought or believed but that
there were pure, honest, earnest, young
ladies' ut Wilberforcc. L am of the black
race, Miss Ball, but do not think it my duty
to cover up and hide its faults. Let them
be exposed and corrected. If it be fashiona-
bic to do wrong, to act with improperly, TO
behave indiscreetly, as l learn through you,
don't do it. If "othcr colleges had rebel
lions," somebody published the fact, and
''other colleges had to correct the faults
which led to them. Somebody, or something
was to blame for it. Let WilbcrfOrce find
The cause and eradicate it. 1t won't avail
anything to get angry because it's found out.
The truth is, our whole race is too sensitive
about everything in newspaper, and too
ready to become virtuously indignant at the
mention therein of ourselves, or things in
which we are interested, unless accompanied
With fusomc flattery. DEPUGH.

he offered to take up his notes with unpai,
stock, and boosted that he was going Il
break the only organ of his race in tho Dis
trict, because the officers of the Company
refused to accede to his proposition, and he
couldn't run the paper in his individual in
terest, which was the real cause of his with.
drawal from the editorial staff.
THOMAS S. BosToN, of the Frcedman's
Bank OF Washington, d. G., is another stock
holder in the New NATIONAL ERA AND
CITIZEN COMPANY, who subscribed for four
shares of stock, paid s25 cash, and gave notes
for three, six, and twelve months, for sl75
he, also, refuses to pay, on any ground that
Charles N. Thomas chooses to manufacture
for him. We think him anything else than
lit person to be i'm the Frecdman's Bank,
Tor, when man gives his note in good faith,
and acknowledges the same to be his before
justice of the peace, and still refuses to pay
without any good legal reason, he should
vacate his position for some one else who
will set better example.
GEORGE ID. JOHNSON, book-keeper in the
Freedman's Bank, also holding stock in the
New NATIONAL ERA AND CITIZEN Com
pANY, has refused to pay his note, simply
because Cook and others have refused to pay.
George has been somewhat successful in
business for the past two years, and is about
to enter into the real estate business with
John II. Cook and James Il. Wormlcy, ir.
George will come out "a sadtler and wiser
man."
VIM. +. AUGUSTA, another employG of
the Frccdman's Bank, and stakeholder in the
NEW NATIONAL ERA AND CITIZEN COM
PANY, refuses to pay his notes. Augusta
simply took stock because he saw the rest of
the honorable (?) parties of the Bank flour
ishing their trumpets high with promises,
which they never intended to fulfill never
theless, he says it was taken. and his notes
given in good faith; still the cause is so dear
for which he took stock, he must follow suit
and refuse to pay.
JOHN II. BUTLER, formerly of Baltimore,
likewise all employee of the Bank, and stock
holder in the New NATIONAL ERA AND
CITIZEN COMPANY, prefers TO not pay his
notes, and, Greener like, runs away pending
q suit for the same. The above-named par
ties are backed by the officers of the Freed
mans Bank against the Douglass Brothers,
and the New NATIONAL ERA the only
organ Of their race at the Capital.
This Bank was Greeley concern during
the Presidential campaign, and it has never
gotten over the reference to the same in the
New NATIONAL ERA. That there Is a
deep-laid plan 10 break up the Douglass
brothers i'll their publishing a journal here
in Washington in the interest of their race,
there is scarcely room for a doubt. How
we'll these malicious parties will succeed re-
mains to be seen. We understand the object
of the secret meetings which have been held
for the past six months, and in future, intend
to handle these parties without gloves.

CHAs. n. THOMAS is young lawyer on
the bubble order, who pays more attention
to his personal appearance than anything
else; he is reN known by all who have
had the fortune (:) of doing business with
him. He was so eager to get something for
nothing, that he disposed of his four shares
of stock in the New NATIONAL ERA AND
CITIZEN COMPANY, valued at $50 each, for
SIS, inside of three days after the forma-
ton of the Company, to friend of his, and
boosted about his sharpness in so doing :;
after which he used his legal ability co to
break up the Company which he had helped
to originate. The above shows what this
honorable (?) gentleman's ideas were about
the Company from the start.
JOHN II. Cook is another young lawyer,
more fortunate, however, than Thomas, as
far as means are concerned, having passed
come out qualified to fill George Stickncy's
place as Actuary of the Freedman's Bank,
which he is so cunningly working to secure.
Cook is stakeholder in the New NATIONAL
ERA AND CITIZEN COMPANY he has worked
faithfully to either rule the Company or de-
stroy it. In this he has been as successful
as he was while Trustee of the County
Schools Of Washington, d. G. He was au-
thorized to select site for the erection
Of a new school-house in the District by
the Board of Trustees of County Schools,
and to do SO at the lowest rates possible.
d. NJ. Kelsey, of the Treasury Department,
happened to own couple of lots near How
ard University for which he asked Cook a
certain sum of money. Cook, seeing a chance
to make little money, sends one Charles
N. Thomas, young lawyer, ever ready for
job, to offer Kelsey one hundred dollars
less in cash than asked. Kelsey ac-
copied. Cook brought into the Board a
report stating that the lots could not be pur-
chased for less than Kelsey's first demand.
The Board accepted, and Cook and Thomas
divide 500 between them. This being
Thomas first job since being admitted to the
bar, he boosted of it everywhere he happened
to find willing listeners of his success. O..
S. b. Wall, then candidate for delegate
from the Second District, heard of this little
job of Cooks, who was opposing him, and
declared his intention ofexposing him. Cook,
hearing of this, hastened to Thomas and gave
back the $50 retained as his share, though
the Board and taxpayers lost just the same.
Captain Wall, however, never forgave Cook,
and had him re moved from the Board as one
unfit for that res ponsible position.
RICHARD T. GREENER owns four shares OF
stock in the NEW NATIONAL ERA AND CITI-
ZEN COMPANY, upon which he has paid $50
in cash and given his notes for the balance,
which is SITS. Although the author Of
"Young men to the 'front.'" and DESTROYS Of
the success of the cause which he holds SC
dear, he refuses to pay his notes, and ran
out of town to prevent suit for the same

THE term of John A. Logan, as United
States Senator from Illinois, does not expire
until 1877, but. already a lively convass is in
progress for the place. Governor Beyeridge
has entered the field against Logan, who, of
course. desires to be his own successor.
Minister Washburne is also said to be en-
tered for the race, and altogether the politics
of Illinois for the next three years, are likely
to be somewhat animated,

On our trip to Sumner last week, we

tied at the close OF the Revolutionary war,
by Elder Nathaniel Chase who had served
three years from the town Of Bucklown,
rs the plantation WAS then called, and
settled on the fine upland farm which is
still owned and occupied bya descendant.

Brothers, SO extensively engaged in the
nursery business, one at Geneva and the
other at Rochester, ale made up of the
the grandsons OF Elder Nathaniel Chase.
The late occupant OF the Chase homestead

since that time the place has bscn neg lect

the youngest sons has determined to
remain at home with his o2ceIlcn, mother,
and bring back tho farm to its former

which have been kept in The family for
nearly century, pass into the hands of

not to be the fate Of the Chase home
