Bergen, Police Com- missioner, in Third avenue, near Tbivty-sixth street, Gowanvs, over the remains of the deceased, The many noble qualties of head and heart which the late Com- mngsioner Borgen possessed to such a high degree, won for him a host of friends in every walk of life, as was evinced in the numerous attendance of prominent citi- zens who were gathered at his residence yesterday to testify their respect and affection towards his memory asa man and a cincere friend. Long before the bour appointed for the commenee- ment of the gervices the numerous relatives of the de- ceased and others began to arrive by every passing car and reveral private carriages, who were attired in the habiliments of mourning, and whose sorrowful coun- tepances gave rise to @ mourntul train of thought, which a glance at the interior of the apartment in which lay the remains of their relative or fond friend, ‘was not calculated to dispel. in the front parlor, in the centre of the room, and directly opposite the door leading to the hallway, rested tho coflin, which was of Fosewood, oval top, end silver mounted. On the burial casket rested a rich and elegant wreath of rare flowers, whose fragrance filled the room, whiletheir bright, spring-like bloom bore etrange contrast to the emaciated features of the dead) Few of all who gazed ‘upon the attenuated and pain-worn features of Mr. Bergen, a3 he lay enelrined im his coffin could fail to note the great change which tong suf- fering from disease bad wrought upon the outlines of a face whose remarkably iresh and rosy tints but a f¢ months since were the very impersonation of ruday beaith and geniality of tomperament, Yet such was the case, and those who knew bim in life and health scarcely recognized the features of the living in the clayey, un- earthly ‘Mmteilectuality portrayed in the {face of the dead.

Kev. Dr. J. H. Manning, pastor of the South Reformed Dutch church, opened the services, and, after the usual forms bad been gone through with, made a few remarks, The reverend ceutleman said that he bad come to that house wiih asad heart, and bad not the request been made by their friend, who now lies quiet in death, that he suouid join with lis pastor im these solemn duties, be should much uave preferred to take his weat anon; the sorrowing people present asa mouruer, Savy and pleasing Lad been the associations of the past; many hours had he spént with the friend now departod; and be could say in this hour that he nover koew # man from whom he was enabled to receive so much instruction as from their brother who was now cold im death Pleasing, indeed, had their association been for (ue past thirteen #.

Grant and tho Peliticiane—A Show ef Haude— General Grant and the Ohie Demecratic Politicinns. 4 {From the Cioveland (Ohio) Leader—radical—July 16.) The great organ and thunderer of the party in ‘State has said with much truth and excellent emphasis ‘that General Grant “has not oniv no sympathy with their (the democratic) nominations, but he is one of its bitterest and most deadiy opponents.’ True enough, Mr, 1 Any soldier who bas fought throughout faithful to his coumtry’s flag, is necessarily, and as it were ex io, a foe to the democratic party, For that party to st apes General Grant, or anv other true Union man, is for it to stultify itself 09 its war record, to swailow ail iis vile abuse of Union eoldiors, and to grievously insult its Southern wing. The Enquirer further proceeds to say that if the radicals want to nominate General Grant they are wel- come. “Of all men in their ranks,” this con- fident journal, ‘the would be the easiest beaten,” If ths indeed, true, the republican party may write itwelf down as sure of victory. If General Grant be the least easily elected, with what everwhelming unanimity will any other man be chosen! The Enquirer further ssys:—‘‘We hope, by all means, that passing over the civilians in their ranks, who have given thom victory by their ability, audacity and couraze, they will ‘trot out’ General Grant for the Presidential race, The result will be another Genoral Scott 1352 affair—an utter route to all concerved. The nomination would fall upon the country flat and dead from the start. It would awaken no feeling sopeeximatiog to enthusiasm, and those who made it would soon be sick and disgusted with it.” Growing violent iv its denunciations, the En. qiirer attacks Grant on account of his present ralary aud title, calls bima ‘military d ’* and reminds “ye fierce democracie” that ‘General Grant 18 the . gal champion of unbridled aud arbitrary despotic power.

Grant, which are necessarily frequent, indicate that Stanton aud him- self aro in bappy accord, and are oporating together. The letters of General Grant are of marked ability. They show a decided improvement in depth and clearness thought and graphic power of expression on political subjects over the earlier letters and orders of the General, For instance, there bas hardly been a clearer exposiiion of the purpose, intent and necessities of the Miltary Reconstruction sct than 3 conta’ ped in General Grant's brief endorsement on the back ot General Pope's Jevter relative to the threatened removal by Pope of Governor Jenkins, of Georgia.
