By eleven o'clock the crowd began to thin off, an4 by midnight quiet reigned in the Capitel. PREPARATIONS FOR THE FUNERAL were commenced at an early hour this morn- ing and by seven o'clock the crowd began to assemble. The visitors upon enterieg the Ro- tunda, passed around the coffin tohave a Inst look at the iddustrious dead. A sentinel being stationed at each corner of the Catatfaque to direct persons prevent a crowd from as- sembling about the coffin. Hon. Geo. T. Brown, Sergeant-at-Arms of the Senate, who had = of the funeral atrangements and General James A. Ekin, who conducted the SrTangements en the part of the family of the Geceased and Gen.

APPEARANCE OF THE BODY. * The features of the deceased had changed considerably since yesterday. The eyes and temples Were very much sunken, and the tace ‘was of an almost saffron bue, and dotted with purple blotchee. The lips, eyelids and temple: were turning quite dark, while on each side ot the neck were evidences of a change of the same nature. ‘The coffin was of rosewood. covered with black cloth, with heavy silver handles, the hinges of each of which were beautiful repre- sentations of an ‘ican 5] On the lid of the coffin was @ massive silver plate, bear- img the following inscription :—“ Thaddeus Stevens. Born April ive. Died August lich, 1868, @t midnight.” The coffin and cata- falque were covered with immortelles, the odor of which was perceptible all over the rotunda.

This may not be the proper occasion, and 1 am not the qual- ified person to pronounce a fittwg eulogy upon this great statesman. Bat it is most fitting for me to say, our hearts are smitten with grief; a great sorrow has fallen apon the land; the na- tion mourns; the country has lost @ ‘vigilant guardian; right, a staunch defender; the poor, @ faithful friend; liberty, a brave champion; and the highest councils of the nation, an ac- knowledged, ) amd masterful leader. A nation’s mighty heart throbs agamst the capitol, and beats through you. We all feel that a mighty intellect bas passed from among us; but nappily for the country an¢ for mankind, ‘not until {thas accomplisned to some extent, the ited mission, for which it had been sent upon the earth; not until it had reached its full maturity and power; not until ithad shed a bright and fant lustre over oar national renown, and bad bequeathed the rich treasures of ite thought and experience, for the guidance of the present, and the instruction of succeed- ing generations.

The crowming excellenc= of his public life, however. was unselfishness a disintere ted desire to promote, and indefati- gable labor to secure the welfare of all—the high and the low. the rich and the poor. Has Any spot been left upon his character as a legis- lator? Great intellectual powers and great acts often excite our admiration and command respect, but when the light goes out darkness gathers around the fallen and there is much we would like to forget. But is it so in the case of this illustrious statesman?

The infe of this man is proof that success in public service, is not incon- sistent with strict utegrity, and that advance. ment does not always wait on dissimalation and corruption. We are often told ae waeaing moral and religious principle, is incompatible ‘ul and eminent public career; but such an assertior isa libel on the venerat: fathers of the Republic, @ libel on the honored living and illustrious dead, a libel against a great and Christian nation, and against God bimeelf, who has deciared that godliness is profitable tor the life that now is. ‘What great simplicity of manner, in this age of — byw = Coy luxary, distinguis| our friend. He rose from ol scurity among the hillsot the Green Mountain State. He was indebted to no factitious aids or accidental circumstances of birth, er fortune, or family patronage. He owed nothing to the partiality of friends or the issue of campaigns, but rose to influence and station and honor, by his own superior intellectual powers and in- tegrity and industry. And yet, not like some others raised from obscurity to greatness, did be become vain and proud; but amid all his honors, to the last, did be maintain a rigid de- votion to American simplicity and unosteata- fuon, His presence in the balls of legislation lwas always felt. He was a Nestor among his ‘official peers. Few men’s opinions were sougat with more reapect er received with more rey- erence than his. He never resorted to the tricks ot mere oratory to carry his point, but he never tatled in strong logic, erm parny Secevar- and intense reason, to satisfy bis ‘sof the istice of his convictions, or the wisdom of his jprinciples. Speech in him rather served to jsustain than command the judgment. He had \ ther avenues te the great throbbing heart of ‘ue people than those of mere and persuasion! He silenced adw (tained friends by more effective, though it may be less brilliant appeals. Firmness of purpose, fullness of experience and knowledge, integrity of principle, constancy to duty, purity of char- lacter, serenity of Goa, - v ioe ‘flinching courage, i y and hones dabor, were chiefly the weal by which be ‘won ‘his conquests and struck his blows.

The latter preferred that Mr. Cook should go. but if the Board in- sisted he would try to serve them. Mr. Arrison moved that the President, Mr. Fowler, be adaed to the committer, which’ was agreed to.
