SrEINGFIEZLp, May 1.—Abont noon the re- mains of Presiltent Lincoln were brought from the State-house and placed in the hearse. The tuneral procession was under Major General Hooker, marshal-in-chief, and Brigadier Gen- erals Cook and Oakes. The military and firemen appeared finely. The guard of honor was the same as during the entire route. & The proceseion consisting of the governors ofseven States, members of Congress, Siate and municipal authorities, Slee Cne from adjoining States, Free Masons, Odd Fellows, and citizens, rope aay colored procession, arrived at Oak Ridge Cemetery at 1 o’clock, on the leftof the yaultin which the remains of the President and son were deposited immedi- ately on their arrival. There was a platform on which singers and an instrumental band were engaged in singing and playing appropriate music. On the right was the speakers’ stand. The vaultis at the foot of,a Knoll in a beautifal part of the ground which contains forest trees and all other varie- ties. It has a Doric gable, resting on pilasters; the main wall being rustic. The vault ts fif- teen feet high, and about the same in width, with semicircular wings projecting from its hillsides. The material is limestone, procured at Jollet, Illinois. Directly inside the ponderous doors is an iron grating. The intertor walls are covered with black velvet, detted with evergreens, In the centre there is a foundation of brick capped with a marble slab; on which the coffin rests. Inthe front ofthe vault are trimmed evergreens. The dead march in Sanl was sung, accompanied by the band, as the remains were deposited. Thousands of persons had assembled atthe cemetery before the arrival of the procession. The scene was one ofintense solemnity. The religious exercises were com- menced by singing a dirge, then followed the reading of appropriate portions ef Scripture and a prayer. Aftera hymna by the choir, Rey. Mr. Hab- bard read the last inaugural of President Ltn- com. Next adirge was sung by the choir, when Bishop Simpson delivered the funeral address, which was in the highest degree solemn and patriotic; portions were applauded. Then followed anether dirge and snother hymn, when the benediction was pronounced by Rev. Dr. Gurley. The procession then re- formed and retarned. Our mournfol duty of escorting the mortal remains of Abraham Lincoln hither is per- formed. We have seen them deposited in the tomb. Bereaved friende, with saddeued and grief-stricken hearts have taken their adieu ana turned their faces homeward, ever to remern- ber the affecting and impressive scene they have witnessed. The injunction so often repeated on the way, «Bear him gently to his rest,” has been obeyed, and “the great heart of the nation tkrobs heavily at the portals of the temb.” FROM MEMPHIS.

The Association for the Relief of Destitute Colored Women and Chiidren met in the Al- dermen’s Room Wednesday night. ‘The Asso- ciation is made up largely ef ladies, many of them young and pretty, and so it was a pleas- ant sight to see them there occupying the pieces of the venerable and majestic grey- eards of the Board of Aldermen. Charley Utermehie’s seat was occupied by a smart little widow, almost as good & tactician in debate as Charley himeelf. A stout, handsome lady of sixty revelled in the ample proportions of Col. Pepper’s chair. Decidedly the prettiest young lady Associationist in the room shed 2 halo about Noyes’ desk. Parson Channing gave an added air of sanctimony to Tom Lloyd’s place. A lady in spectacles, thin in figure and sedate of aspect, sat primly in the centre of Dick Mergan’s chair. McUathran’s seat was lost to view in flowing cripoline, s0 was Canfleld’s, so was Gulick’s. Judge Day held sway in Turton’s chair. Demonstrative Mrs. Swiss- helm tried in succession the chairs of Rapley, Plant, Barr, and Lewis, disapproved of them all, and sought a position on an outside settee, where she sat erect and vigilant, emerging at short intervals to do battle over the bar rall- ings in bebalf of destitute C. W. and C.,— victims of mush &nd molasses diet and badly regulated bowels. Dr. Breed and various other prominent Re- levers ot Destitute C. W. and C., occupied po- sitions outside or inside the bar. The history of the association’s intestine dif- ficulties—of the charges against the late man- agement and against Miss Mann, the teacher, of illetreatment of the inmates of the Home—of the warfare between Miss Mann and various matrons of the institution, and the’ crim- ination and recrimination between the ad- herente of the two sides are pretty well known to the public. To those not familiar with the controversy, it may be prone, tosay that the charges were originally made and vigorously pushed by Mrs. Swisshelm and others, and that the cause ot Miss Mann was advocated by Rey. Dr. Channing and others, The meeting on Wednesday night was an adjourned one, Mr. A. M. Gangewer presiding and Miss Eliza Heacock acting as secretary, (Capt. Grelish, the secretary, declining to serve.) The object of the meeting was to hear fuller reports as to the condition of the “Home” than were mads at the last meeting, and also the report of the comunittee to examine the last annual report, whichit was claimed ‘was one-sided. Atter some preliminary business, Mrs. Cran- dell presented the partial report of the com- mittee to examine the financial condition of the association. Mr. Kelsey, of the same committee, said that the report was correct as far as itrelated to Mrs. Crandell’saccounts. The committee were appointed to. examine the accounts from the commencement of the association, and had de- voted several hours to that duty, finding sey- eral descrepancies up to the 9thof January, but not concluding the examination they asked further time. 2 Dr. Channing stated that in his opinion the committee was not quite fairly made up, and he proposed that the name of Mr. Geo. E. Ba- ker be added to the committee. Mr. R. W. Leighton objected to the accept- ance of the report of the committee. The gen- tleman (Mr. Kelsey) had said the committee had discovered disrre) cies, and he thought the remark wasout of place—no insinuations should be thrown out until they were ready to preve that such was the fact. Mrs. Crandell’s name, at her own request, was stricken from the committee, and Mr. Ba- ker was substituted. The amended repert ot the Board of Man- rs was presented. which shows, in ad- Sfion to the facts in the previous report, that resent matron, Mrs. Nichols, (who was drat matron at the Home,) entered on her i February, and a former Home ‘was appointed ee. of the ie ine duties on the Ist beneficiary. of the H ant in the nursery. The: for January were fs 24s N°. 3,799. hig condition. Since the tith of January five old women and sixteen children have been ad- mitted. The report closes by referring to the troubles in the association, saying that nothing but evil can come of these dissensions, and ex- pressing the hope that the quarrel will cease, And thatro allusion will be made to it here- afer. Mrs. Swisshelm objected to the reception of the report-—the latter part had nothing todo With the tepert proper, She supposed that she was alluded to as the party responsible tor yoaking the troubles. She had felt it her duty to make the charges, and she proceeded to re- iterate these charges as to cruel treatment of the inmates of tne Home by Miss Mann, and dren who died at the ‘way, No prayer or re- said that of the 33 chi Home during Miss M.” ligious service was said over their remains. Dr. Channing.—That is a mistake. Mrs. Swisshelm said that she had under- stood that if her friends would agree to drop the controversy, that the other side would, bat the compact had not been kept. Her efforts in behalf ot the Home had been persistently bafiied the representations of the other side, and if she wrote a letter of appeal she was met by the reply, ‘Oh, you have abused Miss Mann; you will get nothing from this quarter.” The in- vestigation must now go on; they could not emother it. She or some one else had done good, for the bad treatment, &c., at the Home ‘was stopped. Capt. Grelish moved that the latter portion of the report be stricken ont and it be adopted; if it was not intended to reflect on Mrs. Swiss- helm it looked yery much like it. Mr. Leighton did not see that any allnsion ‘was made to Anyone person. As for the inves- tigation, it would not result in any bene‘t to either party, and as a member of the association he was willing to sacrifice his rights in order to effect a compromise and an abandonment of all charges. He was willing to yield his point in regard to the circulation of the annual report. re. Swisshelm._We made a compact of that kind betore, and you broke it; we can’t trust you now. After some further discussion the report was adopted. Dr. Bliss thought that it would be proper that, as there was a difference of epinion on the correctness of the last annual report, that a supplemeptal report might be satisfactory, and in order thatsuch a report might be made, he suggested that three of the old board of mana- gers and three of the new board be appointed for the purpose. Mrs. Swisshelm suggested that it would be better to hear the report of the committee ap- pointed at the last meeting first. Mr. F. J. Jones, from the committee referred to, reported that the committee to whom was referred the report presented by Rufus Leigh- ton, as the second annual report, should not be published because of discrepancies in its financial statements; because of further infor- mation being desired in regard to the state- ment in that report that $1,500 had been placed in the hands of Miss Mann “for disposal as she may see fit,” no portion of which has been Placed in the treasury of the association, and as the Boston Commonwealth says that money, probab the money has been Miss Mann “for educat: generally for the use of the Home, Miss Maxn receiving it as an agentof the corporation. The life membership portion of the report reqaired attention. The committee also notice that the balance reported in the first annual report was $1,606 06 and on page 16in the same rerOrt it is stated that there was collected in Boston $1,206 for building a school room, &c, 4nd in @ note it is stated that $900 is paid oa it, and the balance Will be accounted for -N the next annual re- ort. The balance, however, is not accounted for in the second report or elsewhere. The comrnaittee state that they are informed at a fair held ip Boston money was collected for the associacion, but they have no informa- tion as to waat has become of the money. The report staces that there was no serious case of sickness at the some” when there were 13 serious cases when the present managem: tookcharge One matter was entirely over: looked, the mysterious disappearance of three children. Mr.G. E Baker said .aere was nothing in the report of the committee to show that the annual reportshould not be published. Mr. Day stated that in the last annual report reference was made to $1,500 collected in Bos- ton, and he was told Jast winter that the school house had been shipped from Boston by the very gentleman who made the report. What has become of that school honse! Where is this amount, and was it not placed in the hands of Miss Mann, that she might rule the associa- tion? He asked if it was fit and proper to de- vote three-fourths of a page of the report to the laudation of a single individual whose school was pronounced a model—in his opin- ion it was a model of cruelty. The rations in ine jeu) ang een ety) were better than the everlasting mush and molass: i i cncen ae been ted. ee $ igtton ssid, in relation to the sc! - house, that it had arrived here, but was ‘atthe disposal of Miss Mann, and had not been put up. Mrs. Swisshelm.— Louder”! Capt. Grelish asked if the school house was for educational purposes; was it for the chil- dren of the Home or Miss Mann? Mr. Baker moved to lay the report of the cormmittee on the table, which was saconded by Dr. Channing, and voted down. The.report of the committee was adopted. Mr. Gangewer presented the report ef the committee of investigation on the charges made “against Miss Mann, the teacher of the school, as follows: In pursuance of 4 resolution adopted at the annual meeting held at Oity Hall, on 10th ot Jan , 1865, “to investigate the charges, written and verbal, that may be made at its first session against the teacher, Miss Mann, and the management of the Home,” the follow- ing persons were appointed said committee, viz: Messrs. A. M. Gangewer, D. R. Goodloe, Dr. W.H. Channing, D. M. Kelsey, and Dr. Daniel Breed. At a meeting of the committee held at the house of Br. Breed, January 18th, after organ- izing, by appointing A. M. Gangewer, chair- man, and Dr. Breed, secretary, notice was given of the readiness of the committee to hear any charees that might be presented, Albert S. Browne, Esq., appeared as counsel for Miss Mann, and stated that any person making charges or giving testimony would be held to astrict accountability under the law. Mrs. Swisshelm protested against any threats being made to deter witnesses from testifying. She then presented the following: ««Charges against the. late management and Teacher of the Home for Indigent Colored Women and Children, situated on George- town Heights. « First, and finalfy, the report of the Secre- tary and Treasurer of the Institution, pre- sented and adopted at the annual meeting, is false in so many particulars as to be unworthy of credence and unfit toappear before the pub- lic as anything but an official report.” More specific charges haying been called for, she cuarged: That the property of the Home had been perverted to improper use ; that delicacies had been used by Miss Mann while the children suffered; that eld women had been excluded who had a right to be ad- mitted and remain; that the discipline had been cruel; that Miss Mann’s conduet towards the children was ppaamonee and violent; that oy children suffered from hunger; that the chil- dren were neglected until they ‘were eaten with vermin, and that one child was punished so as to hasten its death. Several subsequent meetings were held BY the committee, viz: on the 20th, 23d and 251 f January, and Mrs. Holt, former matron; sare, Howells, ‘Aunt Becky, Mrs. Oarr, former teacher; Mr Niemann, Mrs. Coleman, Rev.

The examination usually extended late into the night, and each witness was allowed to tell all he or she Knew respecting matters at ination. By re- .

A letter trom Miss Mann was read, in Which she stated that by advice of ber counsel sho declined to appear furth mittee so long as Mr. sey shall be a mem- ber of it, believing that be had prejudgea the ease and was prejadiced against her. The committee took a recees to consult ine formally on the pro| tion of the chairman. Mrs. Swishelm refused to withdraw ber charges, as that would be admitting them to be untrue. She was, however, willing fo drop the matterif others wished to. She would at first have been glad to go into court, instead of before the committee, where she could compel the attendance of witnesses. Dr. Breed cordially seconded the motion of the chairman to turn eur attention to the fa- ture, and thought weshouldaccept Mrs Swiss- helm’s offer to let the controversy drop. As Miss Mann was no longer teacher at the Home and had declined to appear before the committee, on motion of Mr. Goodloe, it was resolved that the committee adjourn gine dic The committee thereupon separated, she report stated in conclusion. Mrs. Swisshelm stated that it was a mistake that she proposed to withdraw or drop the charges. She had consented to do 80. Capt. Grelish said he understood that some testimony had been taken before the committe by Mr_ Leighton which could not be found. Mr. Leighton replied that he took some short- hand notes at the request of Dr. Breed, the sec- retary to the committee, but the committee ceasing the investigation, he supposed they would not be required, and had not written them out, and that in moving they had been. jest or misiaid. Mr. Kelsey said as in the report he was Ramed as the person on the committee who was objected to by Miss Mann as being prejudiced in the case, some explanation was necessary. As a correspondent of one of the papers in the Northwest, ne had referred to the charges, Dat. in his communication he did not give an opin- jon, but & succinct account of what was al- ready known to thepublic—that Mrs. Coleman had made charges against Miss Mann; that they had been referred to a commitree, and @ majority reported that the charges were sus- tained, and requested the teacher to resign; that the minority reported that the charges were not sustained, and recommended that both teacher and matron be requested to resign; that the managers took No Action on the report. He had done this because it was his duty; the truth should be told, especially when such outrages as these were perpetrated. The man- ner in which the charges and the report of the committee had been treated by the manage. ment was an outrage upon the association snd the generous public At the annual meeting in January charges similar to those made by Mrs. Coleman were preferred against tno teacher, and it was his fortune or misfortune to be placed upon the committee. After several meetings it was alleged that Mr. Kelsey was biased. He believed that they made the fact of his being on the committee a pretext for the discontinuance of the investiga~ tion. He protested against this attempt tomaxe bim bear the sins of the teacher into the wil- derness. He would not thus be bluffed off, bat the world should know the true state of the case; he would proclaim it from the housetops. While it was said that he was biased, a yery reyerend gentleman on the committee had ex- preesed his opiion in public, going farther than he, by soying that the chi ‘were per- fectly incredible. That gentleman had aiso said on several occasions that he believed the prosecution had conspired together to traduce the cbaracter of the teacher. He (the speaker) ‘was very willing to decline to serve longer on the committee, but suggested that the reverend. Bees should tender his resignation also. e had never been nor was notan enemy to the “Home.” He had been a friend to the ea- terprise since the “Home” was suggested to him with others by Mrs. Senator Pomeroy, who although now dead, lived to see the institation established. He had visited the “Heme” when Mies Mann was there, and at first he was de- cidedly in her favor, but he was obliged to succumb to the truth. He regretted that the short-hand writer had destroyed his notes of the evidence before the committee, but he was Rot the only man who had took notes. Hedia not wish to protest against the reception of the report; but he had hoped that the evidence as qaras sesen oe einen it, and as the evi- ce not re ie proposed to notes taken by him at the time, 5 goles Mrs. Coleman thought it strange that Mr. Keleey should need to make this explanation, when it was recollected how the committee ware appointed; two os each side supposed to ve Ox, an opinion, and one to be disinterested. Why should he sake a disclaimer when it was known that Dr. Chan ning and Mr. Goodelow were favorable to the other side— Mr. Channing styling the presenta — tion of eharges as a plot. Mr. sey did not ap much. rs. Coleman referred to the first investiga. tion, When the minority report was that the charges preferred by her were not sustained. In. justice to herself she would state that she had fifteen witnesses summoned, of whom five only were examined, Mr. Baker saying that he ‘Was fully satisfied. The proof was such that it would have hung @ man if the penalty had been such. Her principal reason for the sap- pression of the annual report was that she did not think it right, after a person had teen con- victed, to give her such a good character—the laudation should be kept back. Dr. Channing said that he had been spoken of in remarks made in a way to demand some explanation. He had §not prejudged the case, but ha. simply said, while waiting for proot, that the accusations were incredible. He had designed to be entirely impartial on the com- mittee, but would cheerfully accede to the re- quest of Mr. Kelsey for him to withdraw from it. In regard to the closing words of the report just read, he would say that he had agreed to drop the thing for reasons which he proceeded to state, but to his mind it was clear that atthe time the investigation had just begun and only ene side had been heard. He wished here to record his deliberate opinion that not one of the charges against Miss Mann had been suse tained. On the contrary, he believed the greate est injustice had been do:.ein singing out one person to bear the faults and: misfortunes of the Institution. The matrons and committee Were all in some degree implicated in the fault. He wished here to close the matter forever, so far as he was concerned. He disclaimed any disposition to impede the work of the present management, but had felt it his duty as aman and & christian to give moral support to one whom he had learned to respect more than ever, and to see that she was not crushed. In his opinion, had the admirable matron, who now Officiates at the Home, had charge through- out, these difficulties would never have hap- pened. He believed the Association would now prosper, and wished it God speed. Mr. Kelsey proposed to read the evidence taken by himself in thé committee. Mr Leighton esked if it was right to read the evidence when there was no evidence of- fered on the other side. Dr. Breed moved to lay the whole subject on the table—let all pass. Mrs. Swissheilm stated that Brown saida he ‘would hold her to responsibility, and she was ‘willing to go into court in relation to the mat- ter. Mr. Kelsey was about to read his notes of the evidence as a portion of his remarks, when ep Bliss raised the point that he was not In order. A Voice.—« File it !” The Chair decided that Mr. Kelsey was not im order. 4 ‘The report submitted by Mr. Gangewer was adopted. ‘Mr. Kelsey.—Mr. Chairman, I claim the privilege of making a minority report. Dr. Bliss.—Let it be in writing. Mr. Kelsey —1 will, sir; and he proceeded to read—‘+A minority of your committee beg leave to offer the following evidence as their report:”” He then proceeded to read at some length the notes of evidence taken by him in committee. Capt. Grelish moved the adoption of the mi- nority report, . RAS ee moved to lay the whole subjecton table. Mr. Day believed as alawyer—he Deving, Bt- tended the meetings of the committee as 5 Swisshelm’s counsel—that the charges were sustained. The proof was overwhelming.
