Sherman JustIfies Riverside.

New YORK, July %. - General
Sherman, who is here to attend the
funeral, to-day gave the explana-
ton of why he thought New York
had been given preference over
Washington as a place of Burial.
THE Grant family will all contin-
ue to live in New York. The boys
can't go to Washington to live.
What is there to be found there for
them? They don't expect and can't
expect to be congressman or sena-
tors. They couldn't accept clerk
ships. What else is there in Wash
ington? If Grants remains were
buried there they would seldom. or
hever see his grave. The mother
will remain with the bows. She
could not go to Washington to live
alone. Buck Grant is tied down on
his farm in New Jersey, at Norris
town. Jesse and Fred are to stay
in New York. They want their faith
er's torlb here. / think that is the
feeling of the family, and that, when
the country comes to know of it, the
selection will be honored as reason
able.

New YORK, Aug. General
Hancock's senior aide says it is i'm
possible as yet to guess at the length
of the Grant funeral column. 1t has
been arranged to have the funeral
car drawn by twenty-four black
horses. Each horse viii bear long
black net reaching nearly to the
ground. Work is well advanced on
the temporary tomb now building
in Riverside Park. 1t viii be COM
pleted by Wednesday morning. At
Mt. McGregor arrangements have
been completed for the private fun
eral service on Tuesday. The dis
course will be delivered by Rev. ].
p. Newman. Bishop Harris, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, of
New York, will also be present.

IT has been decided by the family
of General Grant that Riverside
Park, New York, shall be the place
of his burial.
The spot selected is on an elevated
point in the Park, which is in the
Northern part of the city, on the
banks of the Hudson river, and is
about ten miles from the city Hall.
Saturday next August Sth = has
been fixed for the funeral. The re-
mains will be brought from Mount
McGregor to Albany on August 3rd
and will lie in state in the capitol
one day; on the 9TH they will be
taken 10 city Hall, New York, where
they viii again liein state until noon
of Saturday when the funeral will
take place. General Hancock has
charge Of all the arrangements, and
it is expected that the funeral cor
tege will be the largest and most
ever seen in this country.

In the light Of present events, the
object of the last Legislature in re-
fusing to pass the anti-discrimina-
ton bill becomes very apparent. As
early as January last negotiations
were pending for the purchase of the
South Penn and Beech Creek roads
by the Pennsylvania railroad, and
of course, in anticipation of having
a monopoly of the carrying trade Of
the State, that monster corporation
did not want any restrictions placed
upon IFS present or prospective
freight charges. The question rap
idly looming up for solution is
whether the Pennsylvania railroad
or the people shall control the legis-
lation of the State.

A Famous Portrait or Grant.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-Forty men,
bers of the Calumet club of this city
have subscribed $500 each for the
purchase of the painting of General
Grant by LeClere. 1t mas been in
the possession of the Calumet club
since it was executed, and viii re-
main In Chicago. New York par
ties recently offered $4,000 for the
painting. and the club had about
decided to accept the offer. 1t is q
full length portrait of General Grant,
and the General has said Of it that
it is the only Likeness of himself
which he considered good. 1t was
completed three years ago, shortly
before the death Of the artist.

The South Pennsylvania railroad
has become a mere shuttle-cock in
the hands of the stock jobbers, and
everything given to the publ, re-
garding it is intended to effect the
price of the stock of the various rail-
roads in any way concerned In the
huge deal now being negotiated be-
tween Vanderbilt and the officers OF
the Pennsylvania railroad. Wander
bilt has betrayed the interest OF the
parties concerned with him in the
construction of the South Pennsyi-
vania, by selling out the road to
purchaser whose deliberate inten-
ton is to ruin their investment by
declining to finish il, and apparent
ly the only thing left for them to do,
is to save a total loss Of their invest
ment's by making the best terms
they can with the purchaser. This
condition OF affairs has caused per-
plexity and doubt along the entire
line of the road, and most OF the
contractors are relaxing their ener-
gies and reducing their forces, not
knowing what day may bring
forth. 1t the deal is consummated,
IT will doubtless become the subject
by all investigators of the principal
law officer of the State, and null
titude of suits by the owners of
real estate, from whom deeds for the
right of way have been attained in
consideration of the road being built,
will follow. But for all these wrongs.
and the prospective litigation the
stock jobbing railroad magnates
care but little so only their pockets
are filled, and the much feared COM
petition from a new road is headed
of.

IT is said that more applications
have been made to General Hancock
by military and civic bodies, for
places in the funeral cortege of Gen
eral Grant, than can be placed in

has therefore been made that only a
limited number from each be pres

An attempt is now being made TO
impose on the public, in advance OF
the genuine wors, a book purport-
ing TO be General Grants memoirs.
Such uncomfortable depravity is al
most past belief: The book which
the General wrote while struggling
with the pangs of his dire and fatal
disease was almost the only thing
of value he was able to leave bis
wife, and the profits from its sale
will be the principal source Of sup
port for her declining years. The
attempt to rob her of this is mon
strous, and every person contemplate
ing a purchase of General Grants
memoirs should be on their guard
against the spurious work which
will doubtless be offered for sale
throughout the country.
