The remains OF Gen. John G. Breckinrid ge
were removed yesterday from the vault where
they were placed at the time of his funeral,
and buried in lot which his family have
purchased since his death, in the Lexington
Cemetery. The removal was made in the
presence of his family and few friends only,
and was SO quitely done that but few persons
were aware of what was taking place until
ahe change had been made.
the lot purchased for this purpose is one OF
The most desirable in our beautiful cemetery,
being the one which Robt Wickliffe early Sc
lected, but afterwards decided to the Orphan
Asylum of this city. In this connection it
may be we'll to say that the statement which
has been going the rounds of the press. that
Gen. Breckenridge had expressed the desire to
be buried at Frankfort, is untrue. No such
expression OF feeling was ever made, nor has
1t been the intention of his family to place
him any where but where he now rests.
Peace to the ashes of the great, the brave, the
pure statesman.
Only once before in the history of the coun-
Try was there no living ex-President. That
was in 1899, when Washington died. No one
who had held the Presidential Office died from
lS49 to 1862, and five living ex.Presidents-
Van Buren,, Tyler, Fillmore, Pierce, and
Buchanan-might have graced the inaugural
OF Abraham Lincoln. This was the greatest
number of ex- Presidents living at any time
The proposition has been often preached in
abe newspapers to make ex-Presidents ex-
ofiicio members of the Senate in order that
the national councils might have the benefit
of their experience in public affairs; and the
history of the nation shows that the number
of these gentlemen surviving at any one time
Gan never be so great as to give them undue
influence EXCHANGE
