was an immense crowd, many of whom could
not get into the church and were forced to leave

After the sermon Mr.. Davis was invited to the
pulpit and, bent with age, and supported to the
stand, he made few appropriate remarks,
closing as follows: MAY He who rules in
heaven. bless, individually and collectively,
this whole community, and may His benediotion
rest on this house forever. More than this it
would be improper for me to say" Mr. Davis

A Cabinet Officers Tribute to Arthur.

Interview with Ex-A ttorney-genera Brewster.
My relations with him personally and as 3
member of his Cabinet were one unbroken cur
rent of personal affection and confidence. His
mind was very prompt in all public affairs and
very resolute upon principles of general public
policy, but where his act would prejudice per-
sons or hurtfully affect individuals, such was the
benevolence and gentleness of his nature he
would hesitate and act with reluctance, but when
he did act he acted firmly always. His general
fitness for the place was wonderful He had
every attribute that would wish to see
in chief executive. He never talked party poll
tics and always stood by what was right and
practically proper. He visionary. He
understood the world and men thoroughly, but
he was full of generosity and forbearance. He
hadn't a mean, unmanly element in his charac-
ter. He was heroic. but not ostentatious. He
was heroic and simple. He had large ex-
perience in public affairs aud he had various
reading in every direction, and what he read he
remembered with elegant taste and great &C.
curacy.
He would have liked to have been the nom
inee of his party. | have never heard him say

who were close to him. that he was touched by
the neglect to nominate him. II he had been
nominated he would have been elected, and
would have died as President. was present
when the news of the nomination
nounced He received it with great placidlty
1t didn't disturb or ruf1e his tranquility
or composure of manner or utterance.
He was quietly sad, not SO much
at the time, but soon after. We all felt it for
his sake, for we all honored and loved him. We
were all friends and felt for each other in any
thing that crossed US during our union as Cabin
ct officers, but we all felt more for him than we
did for anything else. Most of US were looking
forward to this end of the presidential term as
time when we could find relief and rest from
very oppressive and exactine duties I know
that Mr.. Frelinghuysen sighed for his home, but
he above all others, if one could be above an
other in this, was hurt at the slight put upon

OF blood for blood, and life for lifel

Who shall the threatened strife compose,
And blend the Shamrock with the Rosey
Or turn TO swords and bugle-callSS

We crown the bride with orange flowers.
Where dear friends meet bright garlands

When Pleasure pours her rosy wine;
At genial feasts their mission tells,
And brighter still In marriage-bclls;
And through the world so widely spread
They deck the living and the dead
They need no culture, aid or care
These gems OF earth grow everywhere!
Where the proud victor's laurels hide
Their shining leayes at Riyersidel
And at the HERMITAGE which tells

Is doubtless the readiest and probably
most equitable plan, by remitting its
delinquent balances and refunding the
payments that have been made, the
District of Columbia will be entitled to
refund of S40, 1873. The account
against Virginia shows an apportion-
ment in that State Of S1a0,O71 and an
mcollectcd balance of S213, sol. Mary.
lands share in the levy was $iJ6,s23,
which was paid in full.
Charges are standing against the
people of Alabama and their property
for $500, ,s2l; Georgia still owes on this
extraordinary levy $5l2,950; Missis-
sippi 1888, ,342; Tennessee, S2Sl, ,775;
Texas, S225,09S. The Northern States
generally paid up in full. Colorado be-
ing an exception, not paying anything.
Dakota and Utah are in the same cate
CORY. California, with an apportion-
ment Of S254, 1888, is short s6,597.
The States which were in arms
against the Government at the time the
tax was laid, are naturally behind,
though several of them through vol
untary payments or compulsory colcc-
tions, were enabled to score substantial
credits. Arkansas out of levy Of over
S961 900, turned in S1Si, 900; Tennes-
see, aut of $669, 900, returned $685., 900.
Even South Carolina was squeezed to
her full amount Of s363, $40. Kentucky
shows clear balance sheet. Louisi-
ana only owes $117371 out Of 1885,
$50.
Should Congress decide that this tax,
amounting to about 500, 100000 in the
aggregate must be paid up in full, the
people of all the States against which
balances appear will, of course, be
liable, and the delinquencies are col
lectable through the machinery of the
Federal tay-gatherer.
To nearly all the States in arrears,
however, such proceeding would
prove serious hardship. The States
from which the smallest portion Of this
tax was derived were the greatest suf-
ferers by the war. We can see no rea
son for enforcing collections tha
would simply add to their burdens ant
retard their prosperity. Under the cir
Cumstances it would be such trespas'
npon the limits of sound public policy
as would net no compensating bencfi
TO the Government.
1t is now proposed in the House that
so much Of the tax as is delinquent be
remitted and somuch as was paid re
funded; in other words that the pay
,nents made on the levy be considered
M in the nature OF voluntary contribu
tions to the Government in It's time o
need and returned to the contributors
now that the emergency is over and th'
Union permanently restored. Thi
will end an old controversy abou
claims and set-offs and end it will
