TALLY, that he would like to have General

The following was received to-day
Dies MONIES Qal, July 25th
Colonel Grant Governor Sherman, of this State
suggests that the Governors of all the States be
invited to attend the funeral of General Grant
No doubt all, of both North and South would
be glad to pay this tribute to the nations great
est hero. Please give this to the committee au-
thorized to extend the invitation, that imme-
date notice may be given. CYRUS Busting.
The suggestion OF Governor Sherman
will undoubtedly be referred to General
Hancock.
1t having been stated in some quarters
that the remains of General Grant would
lie in state here during the interval before
their removal, it is decided best that the
statement be contradicted. On the morn
ing of the removal, the public will be per-
mitted to view the remains, and not until
then. This afternoon a committee of cit
zens of Saratoga called on Colonel Grant
and requested that the remains be removed
to Saratoga to lie in state there in one OF
the spring parks. The request was denied
The family have accepted the invitation to
occupy the Executive Mansion at Albany
while the remains lie in state there In
New York they will be the guests of w. ].

IMPRESSIVE TRIBUTE BY JEWISH RABBI.
New YORK, July 25th.-Rabbi Browne,
as personal friend and admirer of General
Grant. this morning preached sermon
eulogistic of the deceased. The Rabbi said
wish TO say from this sacred spot, that the
Jews have lost a great friend in the death
of General Grant. | know a great deal OF
irritation was at one time caused by order
No II and in reference to that order | will
speak the whole truth. Last April, you
may remember, / wrote an article on the
|
President Grant in his cottage at Long
Branch, August :, 1888. General Grant
later read my communication to the press,
and said to Dr. Newman - ! consider il
now my duty to make known a secret that
have kept these twenty years and locate
the responsibility upon the proper parties
That order came to me from Washington
direct. protested against it, but had to
pron.ulgate it against my will. ! shall
make this statement in my book likewise.
DR.. Newman communicated that message
to me in the name of General Grant on
the following Monday in his own
house. Grant was 4 providential man,
and he was carried providentially around
the world so that all races and religions
should see the noblest American. Moses
liberated three millions of people, his own
brethren, from Egyptian bondage; Grant
liberated three millions of people a race
not his own, from American bondage over
the bodies of his own brethren breaking
the negroes chains. These three millions
of broken chains the angels of heaven
have been linking together, so that our
American Moses might climb on his self
made path to the realms Of bliss and shake
hands with his prototype our own Moses
of old The cay of Grants death comes
so near to the anniversary of the fall oil
| ~
ish calendar to be remembered by all Jews
At the conclusion Rabbi Browne prayed
for the departed soul of the General, the
whole congregation, by order of President
Frey, rising and reciting the kadish.
This is prayer" said Rabbi Browne,
never recited for a non-Jew before.
- We say it only for our dead parents" said
one of the officers, land no Rabbi ever
heretofore bestowed such an honor upon a
Gentle" Rabbi Browne and his congre-
CATION shed tears during the euIogy and
prayers.
\ NATIONAL MONUMENT.
Fremont co., July 25th.-At d special
meeting of Eugene Rawson Post, No. 30,
Grand Army of the Republic, last night,
eX-President Hayes made some remarks on
the death of General Grant, and suggested
the plan of erecting a monument to the
memory of the dead hero. To-day the fol
lowing note was addressed to General
Hayes by the Grand Army Of the Republic
members " We are instructed by Eugene
Rawson Post, Grand Army of the Rcpub-
lie to request a copy for publication of the
remarks made by you at a special meeting
last night, in which you suggested the
building of national monument to Gen
eral Grant in the city of New y ork, or at
the place of his burial, under the leader
snip OF tHe CFlNu Army OF Tie Republic.
The members of this post are unanimously
and warmly in favor of the proposition"
The following reply was returned
Comrades. ] am in receipt of your note of this
morning requesting copy ofthe remarks made
by me at n special meeting of Eugene Rawson
Post, Grand Army of the Republic, on the occa-
sion of the death of General Grant What was
said was not written, but the substance of the
suggestion made was that the Grand Army OF
the Republic, as the largest soldier organization
in the country, an organization to which all
who faithfully served in the Union forces are
eligible, should take the lead in building a ma
tional monument in honor of General Grant in
the city of New York, or at his place of burial
that the funds for the purpose should be raised
| by the cordial union in the work of all military
organizations that had their origin in the war,
aud that the co operation of all citizens should
| be sought There is every reason to believe
that in all parts of our country, in the South as
well as in the North, sentiment exists in rela-
{ ton to General Grant which at this time viii
find its best expression in national monument
in the city where he resided, and in the city
where it viii be seen by more citizens than at
any other point that could be chosen. The sub.
jeet was also presented to AIanvillc Moore Post
Grand Army of the Republic, and was there re-
ceived with the greatest favor. A committee
was appointed to present the proposition TO the
department meeting of the Grand Army for
the State of Ohio, ut Springfield, in August. II
the matter is pushed promptly by the Grand
Army of the Republic while the public mind is
intensely interested in all that concerns General
Grant, there is every reason for confidence that
! Il national monument can be built which will
be worthy of General Grant and of our country
