A DENUNCIATION OF HENDRICKS.
What is Said of Him by the Organ of the
Administration.

Washington Special.
The Washington Post thus punches Mr. Hen
bricks for his supposed participation in the
Aquilla Jones assault on the civil service law:
''It is further stated that Mr.. Jones has con-
suited with and been advised by Vice president
Hendricks in every step, and there is an intma-
tion that the denouement to which the affair is
now drifting is precisely the consummation
sought by MIR. Hendricks-precisely the one he
has prepared himself TO meet. In this dispatch
is distinctly alleged what the Post some days ago
suggested, to-wit: that Mr.. Hendricks is bitterly
opposed to the cfvilService policy of the admin
stration, and is eager for an opportunity to
place himself at the head of revolt against it,
There is much more of the same sort, but we
have already given the salient points, which are:
'First-That an investigation into the perform
ances of Mr.. Aquilla Jones has been ordered,
and
''Secondiy-That Mr.. jones' with the Vice
president behind him. is counting the issue thus
raised.
"There is nothing else important to the coun-
try involved in the affair. If 1t he true that Mr..
Hendricks has really contrived this issue for the
purpose Of securing a popular verdict as between
himself and Mr.. Cleveland, apropos of the civil
service reform question, so much the worse for
Mr.. Hendricks If it be true that Senator Voor-
hees has hastened to Indianapolis for the pur-
pose of advocating the cause of JONES' and if
this implies an announcement that he is in the
Jones Hendricks boat, much the worse for
Senator oorheeS. These are not thrilling Ques-
tions, because the country will not divide to any
great extent upon the civil-service policy as de-
fined and practced by the administration, and
Messrs. Hendricks, Voorhees, and Jones will, in
antagonizing that policy simply extinguish
themselves.
"The real question is whether Mr. Jones has
violated the civll-servce rules If he has
Messrs. Hendricks and Voorhees, cannot protect
him or extenuate his ofense and public senti-
ment will condemn him. If he has not, but has
acted outside the civilservice law in bestowing
the unclassifed places upon good and competent
Democrats, he has done exactly what he
ought to have done, and he may be sure of the
sympathy and encouragement of the party. That
the law should be upheld, and that all infringe.
ments upon its plain provisions should be pun
ished are propositions which require no eabor-
alton, but that this is a Democratic government,
and that the one hundred thousand places not
contemplated in the law should be filled by
Democrats, is quite as obvious and imperative
postulate."

The Transfer of the Body.

New York Tribune
In regard to the transfer of the body from Mt.
McGregor to New York, General Hancock said:
| shall leave New York on the night of Aug
by the West Shore road and go direct to Mt.
McGregor. Probably General Sherman will 60
with me- On arrival at Mt. McGregor
General Sherman will call on the family before
do So His call will be unofficial 1 shall 60
officially as the director of the funeral and my
call will be an affair of ceremony. On Aug.
the body will lie in state in the Capitol at Albany.
If Mt McGregor were as near to Saratoga as
had at first supposed, it would be possible for
large portion of the troops which now guard the
body to accompany it to New York as an escort.
But | find that the cottage where the
General died is about thirteen miles from
Saratoga, and that the only connection
is by a narrow gauge railroad. Under these
circumstances it will be impossible for a large
escort to follow the body. The escort will be
limited to sixty regular troops at the most to-
gether with some Grand Army organizations.
No longer stop will be made at Saratoga than is
necessary to transfer the coffin to the train
for Albany. The ceremony at Albany will con-
sist in the carrying of the body to the Capitol,
where it will lie day. While the body is at
Albany Governor Hill will have control of all
arrangements and upon him devolves all re-
sponsiblity. l shall, however be there, but for
the time / shall be represented by Adjutant-
general Farusworth.
'On Aug. the funeral train will start for New
York. The train will be a long one, but will
make no stop between Albany and this city. If
the Governor joins the procession a car will be
appropriated to him and his staff There will be
another car for the body, another for the family,
another for the military escort, another for my
self and my staff, car for the clergymen and
pail bearers and for the press.
Accredited representatives of all respect

car, but it will be quite impossible for
any other outsiders to find places Oh the train

by large military escort, which will consist of
few federal troops, few representatives from
the Navy, and the First division Of the National
Guard of the State of New York. under General
Shaler. The body will lie III state in the City
Hall until Aug. 8, at about noon. Then the
grand ceremony of the funeral will begin The
exact details OF the procession have not vet been
definitely determined. We are receiving contin-
ual applications for places in the line, and the
work Of Strengthening out all this confusion is
necessarily slow. In the procession, after the

ask for chocolate now. The Americans do not
understand how to make it, and as it is the

WASHINGTON, July 30-A member of the New

President will return to Washington Immediate
ly after the funeral of General Grant, as it is his
purpose to take few weeks of rest and recrea-
