 MT. McGREGoR, August 2.-General Han cock will arrive here at Il 40 a. m. to-mor- row. Mrs. Grant has considerably recov- cred her composure and normal condition and will doubtless accompany the family and funeral train on Tuesday. Rumors of the decomposition of the body are quieted by the assurances of Dr. Douglass that there are no reasons for uneasiness. The preser- vation of the body beyond the time of the final obsequies is assured. Ex-Secretary Gorham called at the Grant cottage tonight. In accordance with the desires of Colonel Grant the body of General Grant will lie in state at this place from 12 to o'clock to- morrow. Vast crowds are expected from Saratoga.
 Hundreds of visitors came up on the lit tie mountain railroad to-day. The sense of the nearness of the closing scene seemed to rest on all alike. This afternoon Mrs. Grant asked that Dr. Newman be sent for to come to the cottage. When he came Mrs. Grant reminded the pastor that her dead was to be hers only 8 little while longer and asked him to be with the fam fly while he was yet their own. Thus it was that about o'clock Mrs. Grant and her daughter and. sons were in the room with the dead, Dr. Newman and wife came as well and lastly timidly entered little Julia, the generals granddaughter and the child of Colonel Grant. The family surrounded the catafalque beneath which was the calm, peaceful face of the general. Mrs. Grant from 8 table brought her dead husband's s Bible. which she opened and passed to Mrs. Newman, who handed it to Dr. Newman. The latter found the book was opened at the eleventh chapter of Job. The chapter was read and then the clergyman re-read with tender emphasis the sixteenth and nineteenth verses. There was slight pause and then Dr. Newman bowed for prayer and each one present knelt down. After an hours quiet conversation, dwelling principally upon the generals last sickness, the little group arose and the last Sabbath service of the family with their dead was at an end.
 Informal visits of condolence paid the Grant family to-day by ex-Postmaster Gene ral Crosswen and wife and ex-Assistant Sec CTS have been busily engaged with the body during the entire evening. They will use coloring substances if necessary in order to have the face present good appearance. Dr. Douglass says the countenance looks better than ever. He believes the glass lid causes the dark reflection on the features He states that the embalming could not have been inn proved.
 SARATOGA, August 2-Forty men from the Fourth artillery from Fort Warren un- der the command of Captain Story arrived on Boston train at GAO tonight and put up at the Citizens corps armory. They make camp tomorrow near Mt. McGregor depot and will fire minute guns when the funeral train arrives on Tuesday. Members of Congress Who Will Att
 tend.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 2.-General Clark, clerk of the House of Representatives, to- day received dispatch from General Han cock asking that he be notified what mem bers of Congress other than those of the congressional committee already designated desire to attend the funeral of General Grant. General Clark desires that members wishing to attend will communicate with him at once so that he may give General Hancock the desired information.
 The Wish of the Grand Army.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 2.-It is understood that at the instance of the Grand Army of the Republic men resolution will be intro duced in Congress next winter declaring it to be the wish of the nation that the remains of General Grant be placed in the custody of the nation and be deposited here at the na- tional capital in order that national monu- ment to his memory may be erected. The Capital to-day says General Logan will be asked to introduce this resolution in the Senate and adds: "The movers in the matter have a bill which will follow the passage of the resolution proposing the extension of the main building of the Capitol toward the east and they propose to have tomb placed in it Invalides. Another idea is for a grand tional valhalla to be placed opposite the proposed national library to the east of the Capitol. It is certain that the idea of bring ing Grants remains to Washington is firmly fixed and will not be allowed to quietly die out"
