Major general William B. Franklin, at citi-

of the firing of guns at General Grants grave
on the day of the funeral be given by telegraph
to the country. and the simultaneous firing of
siXty-three shots take place all over the Union,
wherever the people hold memorial services.

convention, at Richmond, by a rising vote ex-
pressing sorrow at the death of General u. S.
Grant. and qualification at the thought that he
in trying hours bore himself toward the people of
the South with such magnanimity and good
faith as can never be forgotten, and rendering
sincere sympathy to his family.
