The Tribune publishes an interview with
Zen sherman, in which he says:
Inc parade viii be the grandest military
spectacle this city has ever seen. Gen. Han
cock is magnificently fitted to organize it
and he is hard at work. He will leavenoth-
ing undone. 1t was a good thing to do to
place all these things in his hands. 1t Is GER
tain that Gen. Grant regarded Washington
as no hit place for young men. He has
often talked about IT, My opinion is the
same. Why the army officers who have
been stationed in Washington long, have
never amounted to anything. Themen who
a v come up high have made their mark
an the frontier among the Indians on thefar
on stations. the Washington men become
distinguished as staff officers only. McClel-
Ian is about the only exception and his
case IS SO slight an exception as to barely
prove the rule. Taylor and jackson and
those men came to the top from Indian and
border fighting.
The president, who, at the request OF
Mrs. Grant has selected pail bearers for
Gen, Grants funeral, recently tele-
graphed her to know il she had any
preferences or suggestions to make in the
matter. tie received a reply from her by
telegraph, saying that it was her wish that
he should name the pail bearers, and that
the only suggestion she would make was
that in case any prominent Union officer
like Gen. Sherman or Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan
be selected, a heading Confederate officer like
Gen. Johnson or Gen. Buckner be also in
cluded in the list. Mrs. Grants wishes in
this regard were respected. The list of pail
bearers was announced as follows:
Gen. William Il. Sherman. US. A.; Lieut..
Gen. Philip III. Sheridan, U. s. A.: Admiral
David d. Porter, T.. s. N; Vice Admiral
Stephen G. Rowan, u. s. N; Gen. Joseph
K. tombstone OF Virginia, Gen. Swain b.
Buckner OF Kentucky, Hamilton Fish OF
New York, George s.. Boutwell, OF Massa-
chusctts, George w. Childs OF Pennsylvania,
John A. Logan OF Illinois, George Jones OF
New York and Oliver Hoyt ofNew York.
At the cabinet meeting references was made
to the Grant obsequies, and it was decided
that the president and all the members OF
his cabinet would attend the funeral cere-
monies in New York city. The party will
