CONSIDERABLE ALARM has been aroused among the eastern advocates of Mr. Kerr for tue Speakership by the discovery of an old speech made in 1870, in which he committed himself pretty squarely to the ery of “more greenbacks,” Mr. Kerr has been urged at tho east entirely as @ hard-money man. His eastern support is likely to melt away ia a night, unless it can be shown that his views on the ida have undergone a radical change since this speech was delivered. ARMY ORDERS.—Major Uliver D.

Honors to the Memory of the Deceased Statesman. ———_e—___ This morning the body of Hon. Heury Wilson, late Vice President of the United States, lay on @ wooden frame in mourning, in the center of the chamber at the Capitol in which he breathed his last. The remains were clad in @ handsome black dress suit, patent leather pumps, white stockings, while shirt, standing collar, and black neckcloth. The hair was brushed back from the fore- head. The left hand laid across his breast, the right arm remained by his side. The mouth was slightly open, and there was a pinched expression about the lower portion of the face, and the eyes were sunken. With these exceptions the features looked very natural. Before the body was dressed it looked wonderfully life-like, and appeared as if the deceased was peacefully slumber- ing. At the head of the corpse was placed a beautiful wreath of white flowers, and at the feet a very handsome cross of flowers, the latter an offering of General and Mrs. E. Babcock, and the former, of General Maon. Numerous visitors called early this morning to view the remains, but macy were refusei admittance. Preparations were early being made to lay the body in state in the rotunda of the Ca} ‘tol, but nothing definite could be done the announcement of the decision of the committee, who were to meet at the State Department this morning. The body was embalmed by Messrs. Harvey & Co. Three members of the Capitol police foree, Bieu- tenant Gelatt, S. W. Baxter and J. H. Chap- man were detailed by Sergeant-at-Aras intr oat and kept watch over the body last night. THE HODY To LE LAID IN STATE IN THE Ro- TUNDA.

The catafaique is a national one, having been used at the obsequies of Presi- dent Lincoln, Chief Justice Chase, Mr. Sum- ner, Thaddeus Stevens and Congressman Hooper. The arrangements for the fanera! Will not be definitely settled until the arri- val of the delegation from Massachusetts, who are expected at4o'clock this afternoon. The east hall of the Senate wing of the capi- tol hes been dressed in mourniug. THE FOMERAL TO TAKE PLACE N&XT SATURDAY.

The arrangements thus far agree.| A are subject toany change which the assachusetts committee may suggest. THE DISTRICT MILITARY SERVICES. Col. Webster, adjutant general of the militia of the District, has recommended to the District Commissioners in case a singie organization is decided upon as a guard of honor or escort forthe remains of the Vice President that Captain McCaturaa’s com- pany (B, Ist regiment,) be given the prefer- ence. Col. W., on behalf of the District Com- missioners, has tendered as the escort the services of the District militia. Col. Robt. I. Fleming, commanding 1st regiment, D. C. militia, has tendered to the Secretary of War the companies under his (F’s) command as an eseort on the occasion of the funeral of the late Vice President. THE SUPREME COURT this morning was called to orderat the usual hour by Chief Justice Waite. Immediately after convening the Chief Justice announced that on account of the death of the Vice President, and the near ap roach of Thanks- giving day, that he would adjoura the court until Monday next. The court accordingly adjourned. ORDER OF THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY. At half-past two o'clock this afternoon the Secretary of the Navy issued an order for the paying of a tribute of respect to the memory of the Vice President. In detail it prescribes the firing of a salute at the va- rious navy yards, and the reading of the order upon every ys and at every naval station in the United States and on hoard of ships out cf the country. It also directs 6: Gers to wear the neal badgeg of mourning. ORDER BY THE SECRETARY OF WAR.

The national tlag will be displayed athalf staff. At dawn ofday thirteen guns will be fired; commencing at 12 o'clock m., Pippy minute guns will be fired, TENDER THEIK THE VICE PRESIDENTS CHANGE OF NAME A morning paper, after helpirg itselt lib- thority of the I of usetts known since be ‘cutored “pal ic life. TWO CENTS. deceased ‘treet, which was have received bim for the Thanksgiving holi- days, is now being for the reception ‘is body. His wite and family are buried at Natick, and Mr. Wilson will also be buried there. Nothing is yet determined as to the date of the funeral arrangements. Who Wenld be President? WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN, OR MAY BE. In connection with the quesiion now prom- nently raised by the death of the Vice Presi- dent as to who will succeed to the office va- cated thereby, there are many contingencies which might have arisen to perplex the American people, in deciding under the con- s'itutional provisions who would have been President in the event of certain exigencies. First, however, !t is proper to state that Mr. Ferry, of Michigan, succeeds to the vacant chair. But suppose that on the last day of the late special session of the United States Senate Vice President Wilson had returned to his duties and assimed the ehair. This act on his part would have vacated the ap- pointment of a pro tempore presiding officer, and Mr. Ferry's official relations with the Senate wouid have been only that of a mem- ber of the body. The adjournment of the Senate would have thus left it without a pro fempore officer. Thus by the death of Mr. Wilson there would have been no succession to the chair, until the Senate at its next meeting filled the vacancy. Had President Grant ‘died immediately following the death of the Vice President, who would have been eligible to the Presi- dency? The assumption that Mr. Ferry’s appointment had been vacated by the ap- pearance of the Vice President to adjourn the Senate, left that officer as entitled to the sucerssion out of the question. The next constitutional provision provides for tne succession to the Presidency of the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Just at this time, however, there is no House of Repreventatives, no’ Speaker, and, conse quently, noone in that direction eligible to the succession. The fact is that. had ‘h contingencies as are berein named ari: there would have been no one in the country entitled to the office of President under any coastituti provision. When Congress met the dilemma bave been overcome, and the suceession Would have devolved upon the selection of the presiding officer of either house. If the lower house had effected an organization and chosen a Speaker in advance of the selection of a President pro (empore of the Senate. the Speaker thus selected woult clearly have been, under all legal reqaire- ments, the President of the United States. Respect to the wemory of the Dead, Yesterday afternoon Prof. Widdows, ofthe Metropolitan M. E. church chimes, played a numberof dirges in respect to the memory of the illustrious deceased. IN THE COURTS. The death of the Vice President was an- nounced in the Criminal Court yesterday by District Attoruey Wells. Judge McArthur replied briefly, and stated that Mr. Wilson would share with Jobn Quiney Adams the honor of baving died in tue capitol of tne nation. Ip the Cireuit Court the Vice Presi- dent's death was aunounced by Mr. R. T. Merrick. THE MAS8ACHUSETTS REPURLICAN ASSo- CIATION beld a meeting at Clarke's Hall last even- ing. Mr. C. J. Herring in the chair, and Mr. S.E. Faunce, secretary, to express sorrow at the death of the Vice President. Messrs.

A LARGE NUMBER OF GLORED CITIZENS metat the Indepeadent M. EF. church, cor- ner of Mth street and North Carolina avenue northeast, to take action in regard to the death of the Vice President. Tne mesting commenced with devotional exercises, con- ducted by Rev. J. A. G Pi church. | Mr. Washington Johnson was elected chairman; Dr. R. A. Green vice chair- man, ard Prof. A. W. A. secretary.

But in the midst of her grief she is proud of his ure character and of his distinguished pub- ‘ic services.’” Hon. T. W. Ferry. president pro te.n. of the Senate, who will act as Vice President until the next presidential election, yesterday tel- egraphed the President as follows: “I re ceived with profound sorrow the information of the death of Vice President Wilson, and Seacase tinteeemenens ‘y, and mourn wi s.”” In Boston last evening the board of aider- Sp- ing. ints th: the news of the Vice President's death Was received with genuine sorrow, and flags ‘Were at once Yi priat adjourned pe of news of the 0 Vi residents death.» At _—- fags ‘masted, and in many in- stan councils adopted resolutions ex- ersive of sorrow.
