,.a A NEGRo's GRAVE.

~ Tie managers OF Mount MOriah Cemetery
have published statement explaining and
defending tueir course in the Jones burial
affair. They say that it is untrue that the
management is rcponsible for the pain in
fieted upon the family of Jones. Although
he disl on Friday the request fer a grave
did not come till Saturday evening after the
Superintendent had left, and a refusal was
sent around as carly Oh Monday morning as
possible. After the burial Of colored
wom:n in the cemetery in April last, a
number of lot holders called upon the
management and protested against such
action. After this the officers were instruct
ed to refuse all such persons burial. The
managers dcprccate the blame that has
been cast upon him in this matter, AMI
say that their rules % are Identical
with those of nearly ali schools, Masonic
institutions, cemeteries, (including Wood
land, Laurel Hill, Odd Fellows and others)
in the city. If colored people are allowed
to bury their dead in Mount Nloriah, whites
will cease to do so, to the great injury both
Of managers and lot-holdors, They also
deny that Mr.. Cornell has controlling
power in the management of the Gene
terry. ..-. .aU.

THE UNION LEAGUE sQUABBLE.
On Friday evening special meeting of
the Union League, called in pursuance:.of a
petition of a large number of members was
held at their Club House, on Broad street,
for the purpose Of confirming or rejec' ing
the action of the committee of sixty-two,
requesting Messrs. Bingham, Lane, Wettcn
and Martin to withdraw from the local Re-
publican ticket. The Club House was
packed lcng before the hour for holding the
meeting and even after 1t was called to order
the noise was so great as to render hearing
the proceedings almost an impossibili:y
Hon. John P. verrce, the President called
the meeting to order, and Col. Mcclure,
who was present in full force, offered a
resolution, the effect Of which was that the
committee be susta ned.
While McClurc's resolution was listened
to with marked respect, it was asserted,
nevertheless, that his impudence and elo-
aucnce were beyond comparison.
The resolution was not sustained, it is
needless to say, and the balloting was or
dcred to proceed instantly.
Amid considerable uproar and stamping
of feet, tie ballot!ng was proceeded with,
and at late hour, showed majority Of
500 in favor of supporting the committees
report. That this support Of the "sixty-
two," will be tie upshot of the whole mat
ter, there can be no doubt. o..
