Charles r. Howard.
N. O. States, June lst.


The announcement of the death of
Mr.. Charles T. Howard, which occurred
Yesterday at Ingleside, on the Hudson,
caused quite shock to his many
friends and sensation throughout the
city last evening.
In feeble health. with foreboding
symptoms of rapid decline, from an
organic disease with which he has
struggled for some years past, strange
ly enough his death resulted from a Sc
we're injury received in q fall from a
horse which he was practising for the
use of his daughter. This injury re-
suited in peritonitis caused by concus-
sion of the bowels, which terminated in
his DEATH
The career of Mr.. Howard in this
State, in which he has resided during
his whole manhood, was a very re-
markable and eventful one. 1t was u
constant struggle and combat against
powerful opposition. These brought
forth many decided traits of charac
ter, and displayed qualities which drew
to him many friends and arrayed
against him many adversaries. His
HCLC GhOSC vi HEIut
liberality., beneicenes, a lavish char
ity, and large public spirit and enter
prise. In these and in many good
deeds he dispersed large share of his
accumulations. He possessed great
business and organizing talents, and by
his exactitude and fidelity to his obli-
cations, his large charities and support
of all meritorious public enterprises,
combined with his knowledge of men,
he made himself a political and social
power and accumulated large fortune.
No appeal for any meritorious charity
or for any enterprise of public utility or
was ever made to him in vain. To his
friends who stood by him i'll his per-
petual conflicts, he was boundless in
favors and kindness. His enemies had
good reason to learn and fear the rigor
of his resentments.
Mr.. Howard had reached his fifty
fourth year. He leaves a'widow, three
sons and daughter to inherit his large
fortune. He has lived in this city from
youth through his manhood, but was a
native, we believe, of Maryland.
In the civil war Mr.. Howard's sym
patbies and services were warmly en-
listed in behalf of the South, and he
served with credit aud efficiency i'll the
Army OF Tennessee AT the battle of
Shiloh he proved himself staunch sol
dier, aud subsequently, even when en-
feebled by sickness, rendered substan-
tial aid to the Confederates in their
desperate struggles. He was a mem-
Der of the Association of the Army of
Tennessee.
During his residence in this section
he resided partly in this city and at
Biloxi, in Mississippi, where lie main
tanned elegant establishments. Recent
ly he had purchased and donated to his
daughter beautiful and most elegant
" furnished villa on the Hudson river,
where he passed his last two or three
summers, aud where his death occur

General sherman TalIks.

New York, July 30.-The Tribune
this morning publishes an interview
with General Sherman, ia which no
saws:
"The parade will be the grandest
military spectacle this city has ever
seen. General Hancock is magniii-
Gently fitted to organize, and is hard at
work. He will leave nothing undone.
1t was good thing to do to place all
these things in his hands"
General Sherman gave this eXplana-
ton OF why he thought New York had
been giyon preference over Washing
ton as a place OF burial:
"The Grant family viii all continue
20 live in Now York. Tho BOYS can't
ro TO Washington TO, live. Whst Is
Jhsre TO be found there for them!
They don't expect, and can't expect to
be Congrossmen or Senators. They
could not accept clerkships. What
else is there in Washington? II Gem
eral Grants remains were buried there
they would seldom or never see nus
grave. The mother will remain with
the boys. She could not go to live in
" eshington alone. Buck Grant is tied

viii be honored as reasonable.
1t is said General Grant regarded
Washington as no fit place for young
men. He has often talked about IL.
My opinion is the same. Why, the
army officers, who haYe been stationed
in Washington so long, haye never I
amounted to anything. The men who
have come up high have mado their
mark on the frontier among the In
dams, or on tar of stations,
The Washington men become
distinguished as staff officers only,
Mcclellan is about the only
exception, and his case is so slight an
exception as to barely prove rule

Mt. MCaREGoR, July 3O.-Colonel
Fred Grant last night personally
CAV o the remains of his father into the
charge of U. S. Grant Post Grand
Army of the Republic. The sugges-
ton from New York that the remains
be borne down the Hudson from AL
bany, accompanied by a procession of
shipping, has reached the family OF
General G ant informally. They Will
make no request i'll tue matter, but
should General Hancock indicate o
preference for that the family would
not opnose it. The chief drawback to
Mayor Grace's suggestion is that sew
eral organizations, military and other
wise, which lave arranged to 70 TO
Albany, have carried forward their
plans TO include rail transportation to
New York from the capitol. 1t has
been suggested that the trains might
act "a an escort to the fleet and SO so
down the Hudson together to the l!ght
Of watchtires along the banks. The
new plan would make the procession
grander in every respect tnan could
possibly be made on the original plan.
