the bier is the stairway leading to the upper
floors Of the City Hall. This has been
completely covered with black drapery. AT

CONTRADICTORY VIEWS or DE. NEwMAN's
EULoGY OF GRANT.
! PHILADELPHIA, August 5th.-Our princi-
pal journals appear to be full of bottled
wrath against DR.. Newman. The Times
! breaks out as follows This preposterous
| person stopped over on Mt. McGregor yes
| teTday for the space of an hour and a quar-
! ter. His speech, as furnished in advance
TO the newspapers. makes seven columns of
unmitigated rubbish" The Press saws

as toit> nature have been universal, and
we are bound to say well-iounded. Inspiie

relief, but positive satisfaction
THE GRANT MONUMENT.
PHILADELPHIA, August 5th-Th LeEGcr
learns that some of the New York Monu-
ment Committee, raising funds for the
| Grant mOnum mt, are discouraged ut the
movement in the various cities throughout
the Union TO obtain subscriptions for the
movement in their respective localities.
Instead of sending money they apprehend
the result will be the multiplication of the
cheap monument passion. while the monu-
ment intended to cover the remains Of the
great captain will be DELAYED for want of
funds that are thus being diverted The
Grant statue fund for this city is making
rapid progress.
