THE CONGRESSIONAL CEMETERY.
A Burial Place that Has No Connection wit
Congress, Yet Full Of congressman.

Congress, Yet Full Of Congressman.
Letter in New York Herald.
One of the largest cemeteries in this District is
known as the Congressional Cemetery. The
strange part of it is that it has connection
with Congress-. and has not had since 1864, when
Lemuel l. Bowden. senator from Virginia was
buried there. This cemetery was established in
1907 Major general Uriah Tracy, of Connect
cut, being the FIRST to be inferred there. The
cemetery was originally ten acres in extent. but
since then ground has been added from time to
time until it now includes thirty acres The
original idea was to erect cenotaphs-empty
tombs-in honor of deceased Congressman who
had been buried elsewhere But 1.-The
American Westminster Abbey as il
was called for years, was forgotten
during the war and no appropriations made
to keep it up. From 1907 until about 1850 the
appropriation bills regularly contained appro-
priations to bniid freestone cenotaphs at the
Congressional Cemetery" They cost about $3.50
each. There are now in the cemetery over two
hundred of them. one for each senator or repre-
sentative who died during the interval Under
some Of them, however, repose the remains of
those they are intended to be memorial Of
George Clinton. of New York, who was Vice
president of the United States from 1905 to 1872
buried there. So was Thomas Gary. who
also filed the Office of Vice president. They were
both buried there at their own request Tobias
Lear, the friend and private secretary of George
Washington, was buried there. as was also Gen.
Jacob Brown, who was commandment chief of
the army and died in 1923, and William Writ, of
Virginia. who was Encouragement of the
United States from 1917 TO 1920 All the promi-
nent Indians who died in this city for over a half
century have been buried there. General Raw
Inns, who was Grants first Secretary of War,
was buried there. The last cenotaph for New
York representative was that of Silas NJ Bur
roughs, who died in 1860 He was member of
the Thirty fifth and Thirty sixth Congresses
Some Of these cenotaphs are already going to
pieces in consequence of being con.
structed of poor quality of sandstone. One
of the grave-diggers, speaking the subject.
said 10 your correspondents: 1.-The great major
ity of these stones will last for many many years
yet but about fifty of them will waste away err
tirely inside of the next ten years. They were
mostly erected by contract, and, AS the contract
ors were not watched, they made them of inn
perfect and often of con iemned stone that
could not be used for building purposes Now
and then some of the descendants of some Of
these Congressman come here TO these
stones. and they say they will have them
placed with better stone, but that Is the last
we hear of it, The stone in memory of John
Quincy Adams over there is as good as it was
the day il came here. just because some OF the
friends of Dir. Adams were particular in seeing
that it was cut out of good stone
