broke bright on the mountain and tb,
morning passed without an event unit
10 o'clock, when the train arrived on III,
summit. Col. Fred Grant was one OF tn,
passengers upon it. He proceeded Al
once and alone, upon his arrival, to the
cottage, his brother jesse having re.
manned behind. The colonel immediately
repaired to his mothers apartments.
where the family gathered to hear the
result OF his trip to, and conference in
New York He detailed his movements
and explained that there seemed to be
reasons for the choice of a burial spot in
some other place than Central park. Riv-
erside park had at the time of Gen
Grants death been suggested as the spot
for lnterrment, and it had seemed best to
the colonel, after seeing and hearing all.
TO change the place Of the sepulchre to
Riverside park. The matter having thus
been presented to the family, a conclusion
was reached in accordance with the Col.
Grant suggestion aud he at once die
tatel the following dispatches:
MT. McGREGoR, July 2s.-W A.
Grace, Ne1o York-Mother takes Riv-
erside as the temporary tomb.
Mr.. McGREooR, July 2s.-T5 Gen.
r. ~ McF aeoly, Washington.-Mother
to-day accepted Riverside park. She
wishes me to thank you for the tender of
the Soldiers Home. +. D.. GRANT.
Upon the same train that brought Col.
Grant up the mountain came the company
OF regular troops that have been expected
since yesterday morning. They brought
their tents and all camp announcements
with them. There were thirty-eight men
in all.
1t Is learned this morning that 600 or
700 troops will be or have been ordered to
Saratoga to meet the remains of Gen.
Grant on their arrival there from the
mountain on Tuesday next 1t was the
original intention of Gen. Hancock to
have sent these men to the mountain. but
when he learned of the limited facilities
for moving troors on ,ha - -
changed his purpose and will send them
as stated to Saratoga to receive the re-
mains there and to do duty during the
transfer. 1t is not unlikely that the 9TH
regiment of New York will be chosen
and detailed to do this duty. Instead of
ordering a battery ,f a%r,;IIer,, 70 ,ha
