The National bereavement caused by the death
OF General U. S. Grant has suitably called forth a
universal expression of sorrow throughout the
civilized world l am aware that the heart of the
people of this State is in full sympathy with the
general expression of encomium which has been so
richly bestowed on his exalted character-meas-
ured on the battle field for this Union, in its Ma
tlonal executive departments and finally exempli-
ned in that last great trial for life IN which he dis
played glorious spectacle of divine self sacrifice
and composure, the fruit of a God-like manhood.
In consideration of the death Of so illustrious
patrlot ana statesman, do recommend that our
pubic buildings Of our State until the day of the
funeral and that there be general suspension of
pubic and private business during the hours Of
the funeral services of our honored president

DeLesseps's isthmus canal enterprise is in
bad way if the dispatches are to be be-

1t is going to be exceedingly difficult, most
likely impossible, to raise more funds.
