Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1877-11-10

Brother, to thy grave we come
TO lay thee IN thy quiet home;
Hearts with silent grief opprest,
Bear thee to thy home of rest.
Voices from the signing breeze,
From the woods and leafy trees
And the fading Autumn leaf,
VIII remind us of our grief.
Though in the Grand Lodge above,
We remember thee in love,
Yet our Lodge has lost thee here
'Tis for this we shed the tear.
In the earth we lay thee low,
Yet upon thy grave shall grow
EvergreenS, like these we bring,
As our last, sad Offering.

grave, which is on Chapel kill, over
shadowed by stately oaks and beau
tiful magnolias. There hundreds
had gathered, and among them the
teachers and pupils of the State Fe-
male College. Soon the procession
reached the burial spot, and the cof-
lin, being taken from the hearse,
was rested above the grave. On one
end of the coffin was silver plate,
engraved with the following words
IN. B. Forrest, died October 20.
1877, aged 81 years. On the other
lid was a silver plate with this in-
scriptiOn "Chickasaw lodge, No. 8,
l. 0. O. F.; by card December q,
1847. Gayoso encampment, No. 3,
April 4, 1853" The middle plate
bore the simple inscription: ReQ.si-
escGt i1l Pace. The silver ornamen-
tations were emblematic of the In
Order of Odd Fellows.
When the coffin was placed above
the grave preparatory to the burial
in accordance with the
rights of the order, the crowd pressed
closer in order to get view of the
dead soldiers face. Among the
number were large number of col |
Ored people and several convicts,
who were most deeply affected. The |
latter were heard to express their
love for General Forrest, and to
speak of his humane treatment.
They were also heard to say that
hey feared they could not get an
)ther so kind and good as he had
Deen. At the appointed time the
Odd Fellows formed a circle, and
Zach member of the order threw a
piece of evergreen in the grave. The
of the order then sung the
funeral ode:

she resolved that II she didn't say

a thrsRic Vacancy.
New Orleans picayune.

New Orleans picayune)
The chronic vacancy in the Fed
eral Senate occasioned by the per-
sistent neglect of the claims and
rights Of Louisiana, is promised
only a remote relief. 1t is said
that nature abhors a vacuum, and
political vacancy is of that ma
ture; but the Republican being an
unnatural party, does not share
the antipathy. II does not object
to vacancy in any place which it
cannot fill itself, except in its own
pockets, to the repletion Of which
unfathomed reccptacles the whole
country is earnestly invited to con-
tribute.
The Louisiana vacancies would
no doubt have long ago been filed
by very good Republicans and
very bad men, but for one or two
considerations involving ulterior
and unpleasant consequences. 1t
devolves upon the Republican seD-
ators to do the heavy department
business for the party of great
mora, ideas and immoral practices
and TN act Of such Ruthless violence
would have been party crime toe
evident Sor expediency. Such des.
perato defiance of law and public
sentiment are reserved for despc,
rate situations; as when, for III

TUTTLE BURIED.

The body of Calvin Tuntle, who jumped
off Market street into the Christiana, and
was drowned, was buried yesterday after>
noon in Riverview Cemetery. He was to be
buried in Potter's Field, but few friends
kindly raised a sufficient sum to givs him
decent burial.
The coroner telegraphed to his sister, wi o
resides at Newton Ceutre, Mass, and also
TO his uncle in Boston, as to what they
should do with the body, They are both
in destitute circumstances, and therefore
unable to bear any expense. The uncle in
Boston said Mr.. Tuttle had another uncle in
Massachusetts,, who owned marble pit, and
had considerable means, but he don't state
where he lived. The body had already be@
gan to decompose, and so much swollen as
to almost prevent recognition. '

TAXES FOR. 1877.

The City Taxes for 1877 are now being
paid at the Tax Collectors Office, next door
to the Treasurer's in 9th street, between
Market and King. The first taxes for this
year were paid the I'd of July. On taxes
paid this month, per cent. is deducted. On
taxes paid in August, there is no deduction,
but the full amount is demanded. Taxes
not paid until after August, have, 5 per
cent. added. So those that pay this month
will save 10 per cent. over what they would
have to pay, If not settled until September
or October.
