This ke the importers a from their business and sometimes resulted in serious loss to them. To remedy the evil Secretary Richardson has determined to assign several deputy collectors to the duty of administering oaths alone, and locate them in various parts of New York where they will be convenient to the importers, so that a merchant can go before a deputy neat his place of business, make his affidavit in a few minutes, and transact his business without auy delay APPOINTMENTS BY THE PRESIDENT.—The President made the following appointments this morning: Julien Neville, of Louisiana, receiver of public moneys at New Orleans, W.H.

The houses disposed of at the first sale have been nearly all taken down—a won- der in its way when one considers the ways of the man who has charge of the . exten- When I first came, here, eighteen years ago, the so-called “Capitol extension” was in full blast, and I presume it will be eighteen years more. The architect has the most wonder- iul power of making one improvement run through a century that ever was heard of. Let me give an illustration: Four or tive years ago, the workmen on the “extension” began Ww pave the bit of level ground directly west of the south wing of the Capitol—a tract, say 30 by 200 feet. The first year one- fourth of the space was paved, and then there was a stop—a solemn pause in the proceedings —tor not less than eighteen months. Again the energies of the architect were set at work and another fourth was paved, wheu a second and longer stop was made, so that the grass overgrew the improved space. Last No- vember, one blustering morning, | met the hon- orable speaker on the west steps of the south wing, and he stopped long enough to express his intense contempt of the man that had that bit of work in charge. ‘-Here 1s a fortnight’s job of paving,” said he, “and upon my word it as been in hand ever since I came to Con gress.” ‘Whether it was the indignation of Con gresemen or the natural force of the architect that again set this work in motion, I can- not say, but certain it is that in the early spring days my eyes were gladdened by the sight of & gang of pavers in front of the west wing, and course after course of sand- stone was laid. “This time,” said [, “we snail surely make an end of this business.” Five years fera fortnight’s job certainly wal answer, even for Washington, and the architect © the<capitel extension.” Will you believe me when I say that only half of the remaining space was paved, and then the gang withdrew? Such i the solemn fact; all there is left is @ bit of mixed grass ground—say 20 or 30 feet, which will not he paved until the year 1874, and perhaps not till 15. The plan, f presume, is to do half in 1874. and the remaining half in 15. When I state that the granite steps of the south wing have been take: and re-set theee times within half a dozen years, the seeret of this matter may be discovered. This whole “textension” busines= is profitable and pleas- ant to an army of superintendents, overseers, contractere and laborers; and it will last so long as there is a Congress to make appropriations. { do not write now im the interest of economy, for if Uncle Sam's agents won't look out for his purse I can’t help it, but the le who live in Vashington, and especially t! who are ad- jacent te the capitol park, are entitled to see the capitol completed, sometime or other.

Arrival of the Remains. THE BODY LYING IN STATE AT THE CAPITOL. Impressive Funeral Services Te-day. SERMON OF REV. DR. TIFFANY. The Cortege to Oak Hill Cemetery. The remains of Chief Justice Chase arrived in Washington from New York on the 6:30 o’clock train yesterday morning, accompanied by Senator and Mrs. Sprague, Mr. and Mrs. Hoyt, Seeretary and Mrs. Fish, Attorney Gen- eral Williams, Gen. Irwin McDowell, Gen. Garfield, Mr. Whitelaw Reid, Col. Donn Piatt, Mr. Hiram Barney, Mr. Lloyd, formerly private secretary to the Chief Justice; Mr.W.H.Reardon, deputy marshal of the Supreme Court; Col. R. €. Parsons, formerly marshal of the court; Mr. John W. Wallace, sq., reporter for the court; Mr. D. W. Middleton, elerk of the court, and Mr. Maunsel B. Fieid. Col. Parsons, Mr. Wal- lace, and Mr. Field, (formerly Assistant Secre- tary under Judge Cbase,) had immediate charge of the remains, On is THR ARRIVAL OF THE FUNERAL PARTY at the depot, the remains were at once conveyed to the Supreme Court room, in the Capitol, by way of the east bronze doors, which were draped in mourning, as described in Tae Star of Sat- urday. On their arrival there the casket, a magnificent rose case trimmed with solid and bearing on the massive plate the 0 S. P. CHASE, CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE UNITED STATES, Born January 13, 1808; died May 7, 1873. was pluced on the catafalque, which is the same as that used when President s.incoin’s remains were laid in state in the rotunda of the Capitol in April, 1865. The coffin was placed with the head towards the chair formerly occupied by the deceased, its foot towards the main entrance to the court-room. Soon after the arrival of the reraains the coffin was opened, when it was found chat decomposition had began, owing ta the imperfect manner in which the embalming rocess had been performed. It was, therefore, jeemed injudicious to expose the remains as had been intended, and the casket was again sealed. Seenes at the Capitol Yesterday. It wes originally designed to hold the funeral services in the Supreme Court-room, but after depositing the remains in the Capitol the re! tives and friends of the deceased coneladed that the room was too small and that it woald be advisable ty modify the programme so as to have the services take place in the Senate chamber at noon to-day.

THE FLORAL DECORATIONS were of the mest beautiful and elaborate char- acter. Resting on the head of the coffin was a large crown surmounted by a cross, both com- posed of rare white flowers. Tlus be: symbol was the contribution of Mra. ( Sprague, the eldest daughter of the deceased. Lying on the casket, below the crown was a massive cross of white flowers, the atfectionate oftering of Mrs. Nettie Hoyt, the youngest daughter of the Chief Justic esting on the ‘catafalque at the head of the coffin, was another beautiful crown on one side, and on the other a large broken column, all of white flowers, and between the two wasa large wreath, im the center ot which was suspended an auchor of flowers. The catafalque, at the foot of the column, was similarly decorated with crowns, wreaths, broken columns, anchors and other emblems. The large broken column at the head of the coffin was contributed by Mr. Pitt Cooke, a brother of Governor H. D. and Jay Cooke.’ Among the other floral con- tributors were Mrs. President Grant, who sent a wreath of white lilics and japonicas whi lorned the foot of the casket; Mr. Alex- ander T. Stewart, who contributed a large cross which rested on the foot of the catatal- que; White’aw Reid, a wreath, also placed at the toot of the casket; Philip Tillinghast, jr., a large white cross; Mr. H. C. Fahnestock, crown of flowers, which rested ina garland of evergreens on the catafalque at the head of the coffin; Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Clements, 37 west ‘2d street, New York, a large cross; Mr. Arthur Leary, cross, and Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Stougton a large cross fully three feet in height. Be- sides these there were crosses, wreaths, and a profusion of cut flowers, contributed by other friends and admirers of the deceased and by the different government gardens in Washingt On the center of the railing, immediately in front of the seats of the justices, a white cross was erected. It was over three feet high, and composed altogether of white flowers of tho rarest description. A beautiful vine clung around it. On either side of it were two smaller crosses, made of the same kinds of flowers. Be, tween the first and outer railings were placed nine immense white uss, paving in pots—one directly in front of each chair of the nine jas- tices, composing the full bench; and then at intervals all along the railing were hung wreaths of most beautiful workmanship. The lilies and the wreaths were frem Gen. Babcock. OVER SEVEN THOESAND PERSONS TO VIEW THE REMAI¥S. ‘The east and west central doors of the Capi- tol leading to the rotunda were opened at 10 o’clock, when @ throng of persone began pour- ing into the building and along the passages leading to the Supreme Court room. On enter- ing the room and taking a view of the casket and decorations, the crowd passed out on the left, through the private lobby of the judges, and thence out through the bronze doors ot the Senate wing. Up to 10 o'clock 1,500 people had visited the court room, and the St was growing larger every moment. At this hour, jowever, a heavy rain set in, and continued for anhour. When it had ceased the crowd again became y large, and from 10 o’clock a. m. m. 7,287 persons visited the Supreme . where the remains of tbe Chief Justice were lying. At 5.30 p, m. the building was closed, and a detail of Capitol lice was appointed to guard the remains during the might. esterday afternoon, about 5 o'clock, Mr. F.

At fifteen minutes to 12 o'clock the members of the Council and House of Delegates of the District of Columbia, together with other officers of the District government, entered in a body, and — seats in the southwest corner of the chamber.

They all wore black crape tashes, and as they entered the main aisle the audience rose, and Dr. Tiffany read from the funeral service the words ya et “Tam the resurrection and the life.” Following the officiating clergy, who proceeded to the clerk's desk, came the pall-bearers, consisting of Ad- miral Goldsboro gt, Gen.

As soon as the President and his cabinet were seated the Rev. Dr. Tiffany said that THE SOLEMN FUNERAL SERVICES ud be resumed, aud that in the absence of hop Ames, on account of illness, Rev. Dr. turcs. and a prayer would be offered up py the Rev. B. Peyton Brown. ‘The Rev. Horace A. Cleveland, pastor of the Foundry chureh, of this city, then read the first eighteen verses of Psalm 105, beginning, “Bless the Lord, © my sonl; and all’ that is within me, bless bis name. Bless tbe Lord, O my soul, and forget not his benefits; who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all th ases; who re- deemeth thy life from destruction; who crow eth thee with loving kindness and tender mei cles; who satinfieth thy mouth with good thing so that thy youth is renewed like the eagie’s. and ending, “To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments te do them.” ‘The Kev. B. Peyton Brown followed in an impressive prayer, in the course of which he the nation stricken with sorrow, and closed by beseeching consolation for the bereaved tamily of the Chief Justice. ‘The Rev. Dr. Tiffany then delivered the fol- lowing oration on the life and character of the deceased : Eulegy by Rev. 0. H. Fiffany, D. D. ‘The life of a great man is a great lesson; the death of a great man sad loss; the dying of a great man who worthily filled a high position, is a mysterious lesson of woe. ‘The sadness of all classes of men in our great nation, and the sympathy of other lands, is a demonstration of the tact ‘that there is a prince and great man fallen this day.” Our affectionate natures are Often saddened by our personal losses, and our hearts are wrung with griet by our bereavements. But some events affect not only families, but governments; not only sadden individual hearts, but open the fountains of feeling in a nation, and wed millions in the unity of woe. A great national sorrow developes the kinship of our humanity—so the death of the Chief Justice causes the sympathies and tears of all to flow in one swelling wave of kin- dred grief; and a common sorrow draws all souls together in the mystic aflinities of life, his ig not the hour in which to detail his his- téry or to analyze his character; that is work tor the patient labor of the biographer and the cautious study of the historian. But there were salient points of character and notable events in history that present themselves on mere inspection, and which may be mentioned, even at the hour of the passing away of so great aman, without prejudice to the more careful analysis and complete summary, which in time must follow. ‘To appreciate character there must be time for careful inquiry into the elements which compose it; these will include natural endow. ments, the means and methods of culture, and also the circumstances under which both the education and the practicad life are wrought out. Fulsome panegyric and labored adulation would be unseemly at the grave, and so truly great and indiscriminate p1 impertinent in presenting one who bore himself in every place so free from ostentation. The intellectual dowment of the late Chief Justice seems to hi been such as specially fitted him to handle with an unusual grasp complex and involved topics and so to master as to be able to interpret them to other2. Careful and prolonged cuiture gave him unusual facility in the simple state- ment of results, and he was remarkably tenacious of his conclusions, 3 are mest men who arrive at results by logical rather than by intuifive processes.

But influential as were these positions, and important as were trusts, there was yet a higher place to fill, a broader d ity to perform, and it was eminently fitting that one whose ad- yanced sentiment had helped to lead the nation to the it_ where this sentiment had resulte: in civil war, should give his aid in the practical solution of the difficulties thus occasioned. Re- elected to the United States Senate at the close of his second gubernatorial term, he was imme- — select by President Lincoln for a piece in his cabinet. He was thus called to be ie Sec! of the Treasury of the United States at a time when, though the nation seemed in danger of bankraptey, the most ex- traord nary demands must be made upon its resources. The inevitable contest was upon u-, and his own cherished ideas were to be defend: «i by arms, and he was summoned to supp y materials for defence, the sinews of war. An empty treasury meant no bounties, no pay, no pensions, consequently no soldiers, An empty treasury meant no supplies, no trans. portation, no efficiency, no success. And —_ the nation might have been as- su of non-interference from abroad, by rea- son of the offence to the sentiment of human justice in the corner stone of the confederacy, an empty treasury meant panic, lack of entha- siasm, discontent at home. Mr. Chase, who did not come to the post without special training or preparation, the result of his experience with mone! affairs in Ohio, called about him those with whose aid he filled the empty treasu- ry, furnished the means that fed, clothed, armed, paid, and transported our vast armics in all that protracted war. ‘The weaith of the le flowed at his word, and when they had given all, they bowed wil- lingly under the pressure of an enormous na- tional debt, but never failed in their response. The importance of his work cannot be over-e: timated. With his success the Secretary War could have all needed troops, the Sécre- tary of State no foreign intervention; but with- out success in the department of financs, ws gould havg had gnlv disaster and defeat.’ Hi Sympathy with 7m prompted all this, and his devotion caused him inthe emergency to press to an extreme limit the constitutional powers of a free government, but, when the crisis was and the peril was over, his sense of right and his respect for constitutional limitations was such that he satin judgment, and passed sonvence upon Rome of hisown con. spicuous without falter or hesita. tion. The duties of his cabinet position he discharged both fa.thfally and well, ad- ministering a trust of thousands of million The vilest never accused him of self-seeking, was a poorer man when he resigned his portfolio than when he accepted it. Soon after his resig- nation from the Cabinet the highest office in ge of the President became vacant by th> d€ath of a truly tps jurist (who for long years had worthily and well discharged the high tru: which itinvolved,) and it was fit and. proper that the Chief Justice should be tendered to Mr. Chase, who had both the culture to adorn and the record to justify the appointment. He accepted the position and honorably filled it at a time when the gravest questi ‘of national lity and constitutional law were brought be- fore it for adjudication, and he has fallen in unsullied robes. e Tntexible in his polities! a: well as his pe sonal integrity, he replied io + who ques- tioned him concerning a + ton for the Presidency, with an unreseryoi > siement of his life-long principles, and a clear definition of his present attitude towards existing parties, and closed with these words fend letter as I thought f heg you to believe ‘me i have answered aght to answer it. I r i say itin all cerity, that 1 do ire the office of Pre: dent, nor a nom! for it. Nor do I know that, with my views and convietions, | am a suitable candidate for any party.”” Yet the impression has generally prevailed that this was a cherished expectation, and that he was disappointed by its non-fulfillment. Whatever history may prove to be the truth in this regard, it is yet undeniable that no m: saw in his private or his public acts or conduct indications of the querulousness or the bitter ness that so prainee!f attest the fact of blighted hopes and unrealized longings; he was ever courteous and to all, a pure patriot, an upright Judge, # Clsictiau genicman. But when the bi graphershall have presented to the world in fitting terms his great enduw- ments and his consecrated gifts; when the his- torian shall have described ead ae in which he so conspicuously moved, and the events of which he himself was so large a part, it will be tound that bis blameless private life will be rendered only more conspicuous by the criti- cism attracted towards it by his eminent offi ial ition. The glory of many lives is tarnished by unworthy ambitions, unscrupulous selt- seeking or personal excesses, which cause tue pen of a narrator to pause, and the tongue of the eulogist to hesitate. ‘But his life needs neither reserve or concealment—his private virtues were without a blemish. The breath of scandal, which has charged corruption on so many public men, and with rash venom attacked, doubtless, many innoceut of blame, has not tarnished the mirror of his spotless reputation, and his name goes down to coming generations without a reproach. His virtues are a truthful lesson to all aspirants emulous of honorable manhood. The ure from the world of such a man isan incalculable loss to the nation—to humanity at large. Such lives have larger scope tor influence than those of, common men; from their elevation they ex- ercise the most potent influence on all the mul- tiform and complex movements of the world’s tremulous life. Civilization and morality are generated and swayed by their thoughts and plans. The influence of the late Chief Justice will be felt in healthful impulses wherever his name is known, for there was nothing meretri- cious in his habits of study or his methods of investigation; he was a genuine man, reaching his conclasions by legitimate methods, per- aes honestly and well whatever he unde took. He was blameless in all social relations, up- right and true in conduct, courteous in bear- ing, and he superadded to all other excellencies @ christian consecration. He was observedly a devout man, with earnest conviction to duty, and valliant confession of his faith. Asa woi shipper he was constant in his attendance, reverent in his attitude, unostentatious in his devotion. He li to exhortation or exposi- tion of God’s word with deferential respect. Courteous to the minister, h:mble before his God. Great among men he was as a child be- fore his Father in Heaven, and tired with life's toil, he went out suddenly into the intinite rest of God. His associates in the t crisis of our nation’s destiny have most of them preceded him. Lincoln, the martyrel President. was quickly followed by Stanton, the iron Secretary of War; and Seward, the poli.ed Secretary of State, tarried not long. An! now another has been added to the list of mari yrs—for the Chief dustice was hastened to the tomb by the pro- longed and uninterrupted jibors while Secre- tary of the Treasury. “Like clonds that cake the m »nta‘n summit, Or waves that own vo curb og hand, Bow fast has brother foll 4 brothe: From sunshine to the sunl- 3s land.” le had been warned by the frail tenure by which he held his life, and heeded well the warning.

From 11:30 o'clock until noon, the bells of the different churches were tolled, and during the service minute belis were tolled from the Metropolitan church. ‘The sidewalks along Pew nia avenne were lined with people, and all the departments of the government and the offices of the District government were closed, as were many places of business.

At this point a large crow: ited the arrival of the procession. The solemn tolling of the cemetery bell announced the approach of the latter. In the a. the Rev. B. Peyton Brown be- gan the services by reading from the burial ser- vice, the office commencing :—‘ Man that is porn of woman hath but a short time te live, and is fullof misery.” The ministers presont then repeated in unison:—*I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, from henceforth blessed are the dead who die in the Lord: Even so, saith the Spirit; for they rest rocession, (which at one hundred frow their labors.”” ¢ Kev. B. Peyton Brown then read the col- lec, beginning “0 merciful God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the resurrec’ and the life.” All the ministers then repeated in unison the Lord’s prayer, atter which th v. Dr. Tattany pronounced the benediction, which concluded the services. After the last sad rites in the chapel, the cas- ket was lowered into one of the temporary vaults beneath the floor, where it will remain until to-morrow. It will then be taken out, and, having in the meantime been enclosed in the case, will be interred in the lot of Governor Cook, in the the new part of the cemetery. The burial will be strictly private, in accordance with the request of the family, only the immedi- ate family being present. — THE FUNERAL OF OAKES Ames took place at North Easton, Mass, yesterday. those present were Vice President Wilso: Senator Boutwell, the Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts, the President of the Senate.and Speaker of the House of Representatives of that state; members of the Governor's council; Con- gressmen Gooch and Butler, and others.

Hayes says it looks as if Hall was killed by one of his men in a mutiny, for he has never known of any one dving in that region from lexy, and “Hall did not look like an apoplectic man.
