PRESS DISPATCHES.
The Death of General Grant.

Mt. McGREGoR, n. y, July 24.-The one
condition imposed BY Gen. Grant before he
died, upon those who should decide the
place of his burial, is the cause of delay in
fixing the spot for his interment. Mayor
Grace's chief clerk, Mr.. Turner, is here, and
has been in consultation with Col. Fred.
Grant He has formally and in person, for
Mayor Grace, urged the acceptance OF
burial SPOT in any one of the parks in New
York city. There is strong feeling in the
family of Gen Grant that the New York
proposition is one that would have gratifed
the General, but the condition that Mrs,
Grant should be buried beside the General
is ono that the Mayors representative is not
authorized to accede to, and telegraphic
communication is now going on between
here and New York on that point.
later dispatch says: There is now lit.
Ito doubt that Gen. Grants remains will be
buried in Central Park, New York city. All
that remains is the assent of the authorities
of that city to the dead Generals own con-
dition, which was, that Mrs. Grant should
rest beside him at the last

In his absence, however, and pretty soon
after he left the hotel, Miss Nally met with
another lover to whom she told her matri

The proposition was acceeded to. Mr..
Goodman fastened to Amherst ahead of his
rival, procured the necessary license and
returned to Lynchburg. The services of
minister were secured and the parties were
pronounced man and wife. They at once
got into buggy and drove off; and an hour
or so afterwards when Mr.. Adams returned
to claim his bride, the courteous clerk at the
Lynch House politely referred him to an in.

There seems TO be u settled con vction
that John Wise can be beaten by any good
candidate and with reasonable party energy
Every body wants Mr.. Barbour to remain

some still urge that he be nominated for
Governor.

Gained down, and leaves no very bad blood,
Int the faction that ditlai get the post Office
