SCHUYLER COLFAX, ke, bey &ee ‘Cuicaco, May 1, 1865, The remains wore placed qn the train at midnight of the 30th, and we resumed our journey to Chicago. AT LAPAYRTTR, the houses on each side of the rallroad track were ‘lummnated, and badges of mourning and draped flags ‘were prominent, Bonfires blazed, the bells tolled, and ‘the funeral strains of music were heard. AT MIOHIGAN CITY, ‘the train stopped under a beautiful temporary struc- ‘ture, twelve fect wide and the main columns fourteen feet high. From these sprung a succession of arches, in *the Gothic style, thirty-five feet from the base to the fummit. From the crowning central point was a staff with a draped national flag at half-mast. The arches were trimmed with white and black and ornamented ‘with evergreens and choice fowers. Numerous minia- ture flags fringed the curved edges, and portraits of the lamented dead were encircled with crape. At the abut- ments and at the ends of the main arch wore the mot- ‘toes :— THE PURPOSES OF THE AIMIGHTY ARE PER- i FEOT, AND MUST PREVAIL.

Schuyler Colfax last night delivered an address in Bryan Hall to an immense audience, It was appro- priate as preliminary to the solemn funeral services of to-day. In the course of his eloquent address he eaid:— ‘We might search hisi ancient or modern, and when {he task was ond al woul colucige deat Abra, bam Lincoln was the most merciful ruler who ever put down a powerful rebellion. Now he so held the hearts of the , and was so entwined with their regards and affections that he was the only man living whocould have stood in the breach between the leaders of this iniquity and the wrath of the country they had plun; Into bloody war, Fooling asso many did, that his kindly eart almost forgot justice in its throb for mercy; yet owing as they did his unfaltering devotion to his fountry, his inflexible adherence to principle, his un- mes determination for the restoration of our na- ional unity, there was a trust in him almost Miial in its lence, that whatever he might finally resolve on would prove in the end to be for tho best. Of the many thousands of raons whom he had met in public or private tte, Mr. Colfax said, he ld not call to mind a single one who’ ex- iepeaition and. fm overfiowing’ generosity of impulse jow'! o ul fe seemed free from it walt and Tryuatice At- lasked evar te sharply, he never ai railing by falling. Crit ever go , he would reply wit! word of uncomplain- that he stood reproof, but strive v lmtery as the agos roll by r % he stepped te the sky.”” Thousands thousands of people cot in See set crowded the windows, steps and doorways, and watched @ith intense interest the Minute guns and telling and chiming belle anounced the arrival of the President’s remains. The great mul- tude stood im profound silence, and reverently up- covered their heads ag the coffin was slowly borne tothe jasteful funeral car between the open ranks of general officers and the civil escort from Washington. It was carried under the grand arch which extends across Park place. This arch is of triple Gothic form, fifty-one feet in span, sixteen feet deep, and ¢ighteen foct from the ground to the centre of the main arch, which is thirty feet in span and twenty-four fect wide. The ride arches are eight feet wide and twenty feet high. Over the centre of each of the arches, on both fronts, are large and tmposing American shields, from which hang draped Gational flags, in graceful festoons. From these flags mourning drapery entwines about the different portions of the arches up to the pinnacle inthe centre. The lower portion of the arches is also heavily draped in black and white, beautifully arranged. Fifty flags in all form the drapery and surround the arches. On each pediment of the central arch is placed a bust of the lamented dead, and upon each main front, resting upon the pinnacies above the festoons, is seen a magnificent eagle. The residents along Michigan avenue displayed the most impressive insignia of grief upon the fronts of their respective dwellings, with the following among other mottoes :— OCC eONELEIOEE ROLE LELE TE bE ne TF.

The Future Home of Mrs. Lincoln. the Chicago Tribune, April 28.] ‘We learn from Washington that it is the purpose of ‘Mre. Lincoln to make this city her ‘future home. More than a year ago the deceased President declared to some of his intimate personal friends here that after he had laid aside the cares of his great office and retired to pri- vate life, it was his intention to spend the remainder of his days in Chicago, He had commissioned one of our citizens to look about the city, and before the close of his present term of office, to secure the refusal of of acom- fortable residence on some pleasant and suitable street.

Before Judges Ingraham, Clerke and Barnard, Mar 1.—The American Guano Company vs. the United States Guano Company.—Thia was a motion to dissolve an injunction obtained by the plaintiffs against the de- fendante, restraining them from taking any guano from | Howland Island, and from interfering with the plaintiffs’ | title to the property. The plaintits claim their title to the island by virtue of an act of Congress which gives such islands to the first discoverer, The defendants hold that according to the act of Congress in question it is necessary for the discoverer to Continue in actual Possession and occupation of the lund so discovered, and that the fact that the plaintiffe were not in possession of the island when the d ‘lanis came along and occupied it rendered the plaintiffs’ title to the estate null and void, The case for the plaintiff was argued by ex-J Whiting, who laid great stroes on this act of C %, and maintained that hie clients’ title to the land wad clear and hardly worthy of dispute. Ex-Judgo Einott replied on the partof the de ints, and held, first, thut the plaintiff™’ authority to take possession of the island was not derived from Congress, but simply from the Secretary of State, and that if {twas derived from the act of CC a, the fact that they vacated the island for free to the next comer. time left the Property The Court reserved its lecisiong A Weatern Divorce Case.

This, perhaps, is the the whole difficulty. © In April, 11 I the honor to express to the citizeus of New York, at the Acedemy of Mueic, the opinion that the le of the rebellious States were in the legal relation to the government of alien enemies; this proposition has been si! irmed by the repeated solemn Gecisions of the Bupreme Court. By what pro- then, are these public onemtos of the United States, living under political organizations or State governments hostile to the Union, their forces just now shattered and broken by our victories, to be brought into political rela- tions with ue, and become endowed as well with the pri- vilege of legiglating for themselves as a part of the go ernment, as also to make laws for us, who have just subdued’ the rebellion by the sword? It is ,quite clear that until some means! are devised to cnable the Southern people to govern themselves in the Union, disorder must be repressed, peace preserved, crimeé punished and tho industrious and well doing pro- tected by the military powers of the United States. BAST POLICY OF THR PROVLE THEMSELVES, It would acem to bo the part of wisdom to ascertain first whether any of the inbabitants of these States, and how many, are really desirous of coming back and be- fiemesae be pce SR, naa ; hi ant in! epee ould it not be well ben, < ag parts of the 0 that military sree. for each State, it should be selected as auch their ‘arm, w rete tal thy "St thal num! of ae kee loyal and de- their into the should call yy ‘the loyal citizens of the United States who had nevet held office during the iB, to vote upon the whether the red to renee oale with tlie United States as a loyal State, and fog that end would pfovide and declare in thelt State constitution :— First—That forever there should be neither slavery or ini lary wervitude except for crime Ja- diclally declared.

Ifthe people of the State should, by a good de- gree of unanimity, vote to call a convention to make these or like propositions part of their constitu. tional law, then ‘a meeting for the election of delogates to @ constitutional convention could be called, « constitution framed and submitted to the people for ratification, Such @ vote upon such propositions would be conclusive evidence 0 the people of such State were truly loyal, and in accordance with those ideas which control the loyal tind of the other States, and by which the future of the conntry is 10 be governed. HOW TO TREAT A REFRACTORY STATE. If no considerable number voted upon these questions, or they failed to command the assent of a large ion of the peopl, this would also seem to be conclugive evi- dence that within that military district either the spirit of the rebellion had not been subdued, although its physical force might be broken, or that the community was notin condition to resume ite ‘ relations’’ as a state of the Union, and I would hold it under military rule as belligerents until the influx of Northern enterprise, Zapigland sentiment brought in by our brave soldiers coming theys to settle, and by our school teachers edit- cating the Goloréd itizens of the United States thereif dwelling, had so far ¢! the Footings of a tiny of the people of such State that it was in Mt condition to become a ate of this Union, whetherthe time needed for this purpose Was ono yeat or a century. ANOTHMR ViEW, If, however, a constitution should be adopted contain. ing the provistons above suggested, then the State being organized, all military rule should ‘be withdrawn as soon as the State government should show it waa able to pre- serve the peace and protect all’ citizens of the Tmited States in its borders, in life, liberty and nit of happiness, The State could then elect ite bers to either house of Congress, to be admitted or ther in its wisdom inight determine. But on of members of oa rosé ought to take place until ail military rule had beer withdrawn, be- cause there can be no greater wrong to the fundamental principles of our grovernment than the election of mem- bers of either house of Congress under the overshadow. ing power of the President, especially when exerted in the military form. Such elections abolish all distine- tions between and independence of the legislative and rcutive departments of the government, and tend toa on of power—quite as much to be guarded secunsion. Lam one of those old-fashioned de- mocrats who do not believe that the Executive has any part or lot in the fraternal relations of the several States to each other and to the Union other than that whieh the President exercises as a part of the lawmaking power. . if PH ie ‘many millions of State debt, all in m country and in sub- duing the rebellion, ‘The Southern States, when they return to thoir practical relations with the government, will come back wholly free from this class of debt with which New York is burthened. Their debt, if any, will have been contracted in fighting against the Union and mot in restoring it, and of course will bo at frst re- pudiated. But in time, when, as is just, New York and the other States call upon the general government, is debt, contracted in its own defence, such demaad will be opposed by the Southern States which have no auch debt or will be encumbered by the propo- sition to assume for the South some part of the Con. fedorate debt; and such will be the power of the pressure upon rw eo of the immense amount of the con- solidated debt, unjust and iniquitous as it would bo for the nation to assume it, I should fear for the result. ‘Therefore I would have it as @ part of the fundumental Jaw of each State that no part of such debt should ever be assumed or paid by the State, or any portion thereof. ‘The aasumption of such debt by the general government 18 a subject so fraught with danger, so aided by the intiu- of money, that I would employ every’means to keep it from the national councils. ‘THE BCATUS OF REBEL The necessity of the fourth proposed amendment of the constitution of tho several States, that no rebel officers should vote or hold office, is obvious from their constitu- tions. This rebellion was basely set on foot because politi- EP acer Sa eekts Sor the South and travelling ward. To regain power which their enterprise, wealth and consequent increase of population brought to the North, the leaders at the South plunged the nation into this horrid war. Shall we not, , teach com- ing generations by living examples that political power is not gained, but trrotrievably lost, by rebelling against the United states? Besides, the common mind at the South has been heretofore eo much controlled by the leading ‘men that such deprivation of palitical power is absolutely necessary to d the beading class there of that infu- ence over the mm thought which has heretofore deen, and will hercafter be, exerted againat the Union. LARDHOLDING AKD BLAVRHOLDING ARISTOCRACY. Being a democrat, I would break down the landhold- ing Iai of the South, which has slaveho! it so much of ‘evil upon us, Is not the deprivation of iticat ri the and mildest form of ut of treason? Is this not a necessary measure Of precaution futuge‘evils? For these reasons, against therefore, which I have scarcely more than hinted at, f insist, apy measures should be taken to bring back a revolted State, that the inhabitants in their primary and fundamental law, as a of the frame of ernment ald solemnly provide that there should Qeineither ery nor secession in their State, and that rebel debts and rebel notes should be alike repudiated. Thanking you for the patience with which you have listened to me, I shall be more than ropaid if by these remarks I have brought before your minds for considera- tion any of the momentous questions involved in the re- construction of the rebel States.

I opened the door of my stateroom, and in an instant real- ized the horror of the fact that the boiler had exploded, Killing and scalding many; that the pilot house and at Jeast one-third of the cabin roof had fallen in; that the boiler deck and bout were on fire, with a fresh breeze carrying the flaines with lightning-like rapidity through the ‘balance of the cabin, towards the ladies’ saloon.
