Committee from the Brown County
Bar Association received the body,
which being placed in the hearse and es.
corted by the committee, was taken TO the
Howe residence on Main street. at 1880

beginning OF the funeral exercises,
the church was packed to the doors, while
several hundred persons, unable 10 gain

conclusion OF the service.
The floral tributes were profuse and
magnificent. the principle pieces being

at about q o'clock with the chant "Abide

Rev. L. J.White,the pastor Of the church,
offered brief prayer, which was followed
by the colo, "Neaier My God 10 Thee by
Mrs. L. D. Newhall, sung to the air OF

senatora' Wives and Daughters Alleged
10 be the Real LobbyIsts

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The influence
Of army and navy officers upon the Senate
Of the United States has become in this
city proverbial. Such social considerations
affecting the wives and daughters Of sena.
tors is the real power behind the throne,
and the actual strength which these forces
can exert in shaping legislation is shameful
in the extreme. It overthrows just lineal
promotion, and elevates hippant whipper-
snappers over the heads Of tried and quail.
ited officers. 1t prevents the confirmation
OF the most unassailable nomination and
eompels Senators Of unimpeachable
integrity to stand up and help
lessly utter ISLANDERS against charac-
tiers OF tried and true men. It laughs
hostile legislation in scorn, and sitting in
the galleries snaps its fingers at the mea-
sures passed by the House, vowiDg airily
to SIX that" in the Senate, and it generally
does. It Is recognized fact that no
changes in the army or navy, however in
significant, originating in the House, have
ever gone through the Senate, II 1t received
the disapprobation OF the officers OF either
branch Of the service. The disgraceiul
domination Of the armed lobby appears to
have been recognized to some extent, as on
the 26th Of February, Senator Logan offered
a resolution, which was adopted, directing
the Secretaries OF the Navy and
War 10 furnish the Senate with
a list OF the officers Of the army
and navy now on duty in Washington and
abe work upon which they are engaged.
The replies were sent to the Senate and the
House, and the list was printed. Thearmy
officers detained here are few in number
compared with those from the navy, and
all OF them are engaged In active opera.
tions, which gives them less time to loaf
around the Senate and raise the devil.
The city, however, swarms with navy Off
GERS with little or nothing to do, and their
influence Is stronger than that OF the army
detail. As soon as the list returned by the
Secretary OF the Navy reached the Senate 1t
was sent 10 the Committee on Naval Affairs,
and Of course never again saw the light Of
day. "Active influences" conspired to
prevent its getting into print, and the pub.
lie will never actually know who the Off.
GERS located here are. Suffice it to say, an
curly cleaning out is hoped for by all
friends Of good legislation, and with the
departure Of this epaulettocracy will pass
away one OF the most scandalous institu-
tions that adheres to Congress or disgraces
modern legislation. There are eighty.two
army officers located here on special duty,
some OF whom have been detailed here
fully seventeen years, or ever since the
war

PARIS, March 29.-The heavy increase
in the duties on freights on imported
pictures in America, affected by the new
tariff, raised quite storm OF Indignation
here, and it is to be feared that it will ai-:
feet very injuriously the interests Of our,
American artists, either studying or prac.
tlcing in the European capitals. 1t could
not occur more inopportunely, as far as
those residing here are concerned, for they
have just sent in their pictures for the,
salon, and have reason TO apprehend that
the jury, which Is now independent OF
Government influences, may be induced to
retaliate, and reject extensively, II not al
together, the American pictures.
In fact, so strong is the feeling aroused
by this impolitic and unacconntable meas
ure, which amounts to almost total prohi-
bition against the importation OF foreign
pictures into the United States, that at the
meetingof the leading French artists, held d
the ,other day, to decide on what steps
should be taken to mark their sense OF the
the general feeling OF those
preset was in favor OF strong iretaliatory
measures. On the suggestion OF NJ, Bou-
guereau, it was agreed to suspend action
until it should be seen what the American
artists residing in France, and who were
about to hold meeting on the subject,
would do.
The day be'ore Yesterday the American
artists assembled in force at the club rooms
in Rue Pigalle, and adopted se.ies Of
strong resolutions protesting against the i'm
crease Of duties on the imported foreign
pictures, but more particularly on those OF
France, as a most impolitic and ungrate-s
ful measure; impolitic as arresting the de-
velopment OF art in America by the pro-
hibition OF the introduction OF foreign
pictures, aud ungrateful, seeing the heavy
which American art students
were under, both to the French Govern.
ment and TO French artists, who generally
threw open TO them gratuitously ythe public
schools and exhibitions, and to whose
iberality they were, in short, indebted for
their art education.
It was resolved that a petition, based on 4
these facts, and demanding the repeal Of
his obnoxious clause, should be presented
10 Congress, and committee, composed
Of Messrs. Heaiy, Brigham, Sargent,
Knight, Stewart, Pearce and Dellanbaugh,
was named to prepareit.

employ OF the Philadelphia, Newtown &
New York Railroad, had disappeared and

ATTORNEY GENERAL BREwsrER.
His Reply TO Charges made against the
Conduct or HIS Office.

New YoRK, March 29.-1n conversation
with Tribune reporter Mr.. Brewster al.
luded to the repeated charges made in GER
tain newspapers OF his having expended
large and unnecessary sums Of money in
the employment of special counsel for the
Department Of Justice. In answer to in
quiries on the subject he said:- IA repre-
sentative Of one Of the papers, which Is
chiefly responsible for this systematic
lying about my department, was elected
from my Office for good reasons, and that is
the way he has his revenge. l do not care
anything about 1t, as such things always
cure themselves; but as you ask me for
the facts in regard to the matter. lam will
ing to state them. Take the Star Route
cases, for instance. The counsel employed
are necessary to conduct the case Of the
Government. / did not employ them,
however, or fix their compensation. That
was done before ! came into Office.
Then l am criticised for the payment Of
$4,000 each to Mr.. Porter and Mr..
Davidge in the Guiteau case. The Presl-
dent fixed the compensation Of those gen.
tlemen, and they were employed before l
came into office. As to the employment Of
Congressman Richard Crowley, that was
done by Mr.. Townsend, the United States
District Attorney Of the Northern District
ofNew York. cannot, personally, know
the needs OF the District Attorneys. l have
to rely on their representations and judg-
ment in such matters. The employment
OF special counsel in the various districts
is not an unusual thing. 1t has been espe.
cially necessary in the prosecution OF frau.
duent election cases in the South, where
the sentiment Of the community, SO far as
the whites are concerned, has been arrayed
against the Government.
II have been attacked for employing |
Mr. Wise in case in Virginia. It was
done at the recommendation OF the District
Judge, the United States District Attorney
and Senator Malone. Mr.. Wise had pre-
sious knowledge OF the case, and Of course
his services are valuable, though / have
limited the expense to a comparatively
small amount. In fact, whatever has been
,aid against me in regard to these matters
has been prompted by malice, and there
IS no just foundation for any such charges"
