Thomas A. Hendricks. Vice-President

faithful illustration OF the truth Of the

M Hendricks was best loved where he
was hest known. Crowned with almost
every civilhonor which grateful people

did indeed, offer shining mark. When

the Brotherhood of mankind and
showed that one touch of nature made

aud certainly no one who witnessed
them could ever forget them. But the
feature that struck me as the one most
significant, most impressive, was the
fact that among those who bore

we're confederate soldiers, who a few
brief years ago we're his mortal enemies.
Here to-day, while honoring ourselves

sHERMAN's TRIBUTE.
NJ. Sherman bore testimony to the
marked ability with which Hendricks

Mr.. Egart's expressed pleasure at the
act that he had been asked to part;ci-
atein the expression of the feelings of
he Senate on this occasion. 1t hap
7ned thathe had a very good acquain-
Ance with Mr.. Hendricks, dating from
NEARLY period in his public career. In
'le courts of the impe tchment trial
OF President Johnson, Mr.. Evsrts had
"a opportunity TO observe the candor,
courage and constitutional value of Mr..
hendricks opinion. AS to Mr.. Hend-
