WAsHINGToN, July, ga meeting of cit
liens was held last night to protest against
the proposed burial of General Grant at
Riverside Park. Among those present
were ex-Congressman Desendorf of Vir-
ginia, who presided, General Whitaker,
Hon. A. M. Clapp and DR.. Bliss. A Com
nittee on Resolutions, consisting of A. M.
Olapp, R. G.. Bell, DR.. Pursell, Fl. J..
NOLAN and A. B. Cunningham. was ap-
pointed. The committee presented q long
preamble and resolutions, which were unan-
imously aadopted. protesting against the
interment of General Grant in Central or
Riverside Park, New.York, on the grounds
that the selection Of a place of amusement
and recreation for this purpose will violate
the eternal fitness Of things, and such in
terment will localize his ashes to a single
State and city, instead of entombing them
at the National Capital, the Mecca of the
American people; that his ashes should
sleep ON soil over which the United
States have exclusive Jurisdiction and con-

his memory by Congress will be greatly
embarrassed if not defeated by the inter-
ment in a locally-owned ground. Resolu-
tons also were adopted that while it is not
surprising that the great commercial city
of New York should covet the remains Of
General Grant as an additional adornment
to its plessure-seeking resorts, where lux
ury, poverty and vice make constant dis
plays, and has secured this advantage by
precipitated action, it is q matter of deep
modification to the more elevated and
patriotic sentiment of the nation that this
important question should have been
determined without q wider or more
deliberate consultation than sentiment.
They, therefore, earnestly appeal to those
whom the determination of this important
question is imposed to consider whatever
action may be taken in this behalf,
and they suggest hat the Soldiers Home,
in this District, as the most fitting place
for the tomb. General Beale, General j.
A. Creswell and General Burdette were ap-
pointed a committee to go to Mt. McGregor
and present the resolutions to the family
of General Grant. The meeting then
adjourned. II is not yet known whether
any of the gentlemen appointed members
of the committee will serve.
Sensible View ms to Grants Burial.
PHILADELPHIA, July 29.-When George
W. Childs was asked this morning what
he thought of the suggestion that he and
General Beale should 60 to Mt. McGregor
and urge the family of General Grant to
reconsider their decision to bury General
Grant at Riverside Park, he said: "The
family are thoroughly familiar with the
arguments that have been brought to bear
against the selection of Riverside Park
They have concluded to accept the place
rendered, and 10 attempt will be made to
induce q change of the mind Of the family.
They have received numerous letters from
Army and Navy officers and others, urging
Washington as the proper place, but River
side Park has been selected and there is
matter to discuss with the family, and /
think nothing more should be said on the
subject"
