VALLANDIGHAM, | Merald Special Report from Dayioa. Faneral of the Deceased Politician. AN IMMENSE ATTENDANCE. Imposing Procession from the House to the Cemeiery, SCENES AT THE GRAVE. Meeting and Action cf the Bar of Dayton. EULOGIES OF THE DEAD. Speeches by Messrs. Thurman, MeVook, Cox and Others. DAYTON, June 20, 1871. ‘The intense excitement which has prevaiied here, and, indeed, all over the State, since ihe announce- meat of the deatn of Clement Latrd Vallandigham culminated to-day when the tuneral took place, DAYTON CROWDED. Last night the late trains irom the east, the west, the north and the south came Into the city crowded. The hotels were jammed, and many of the visitors found quarters at private residences, ‘fhis morning there was a new influx. Delegations from Cincinnati, St. Louts, Chicago and the smaller cities of the West arrived upon every train. The rustics from the country surrounding Dayton came im great numbers, and by nine o'clock the wide streets were crowced with people, and with all conceivable shapes ani styles of vehicles. GENERAL SORROW. ‘There has been no such gathering here within the memory oO! the oldest inhabitant, Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the whole affair was the feeling of sorrow which seemed to pervade the vast concourse, A stranger would have supposed that Vallandigham had been the father of the mass of the population, not only of this State, but of the other States of the Union, It would be ab- surd tosuppose that they were all democrats, general feeilag of sorrow and regret extended to the republicans as well. In the death of the dis- tinguished partisan all political malice, past haireds and antmosities seemed to be bu- ried, Noting was remembered but his ster- Ing personal qualities and attainments of head and heart. Those who Knew oim most intl- mately, or with whom he was associated tn politl- cal and business relations, went about the streets and could talk of nothing but Vallandigham, his virtues, his charity, his ability ag a lawyer, his reck- Jess boldness a3 a politician, his indepeudeuce of character and his ‘ew departure” resolutions. If Birangers, trom the earnestness and eloquence of Vailandigham’'s iriends, fatied to be impressed with Bome faint idea of bis greatness, they could not but Perceive that m this community, at least, the leader of the whilom anti-war democracy was revered and beloved, Whatever faults he had seemed to Nave been forgotten or buried; only hus virtues were remembered. VIEWING THE REMAINS. At nine o'clock this morning the late residence of Valiandigham, on First street, the aristocratic street of me city, was thrown open to the public, and the rema.ns exposed to the view of the masses whom during his lite he had swayed and ted at his will. ‘The house is an unpretentious, square-buillt brick, of two and a half stories, painted lead color, with ; green blinds, and 1s surrounded by a small yard aud an abunilance of beautiful shrubbery. AN HONEST POLITICIAN. Mr. Valiandigham evidently did not make a for | tune out of poliucs. ils entire estate 1s not estt- mated at over $40,000, figure, and ail of it earned ta his profession as a lawyer. A REMINISCENCE. ‘The remains were piaced in the hall, which rans directly through the house, and the crowd passed from front door to the rear. At three o'clock on the morning of the 5th of May, 1863, this same house was surrounded by a company of United States troops, with orders to arrest Vallandigham at all hazards and convey him to Cinciunati. Vallandigham re- fused to surrender, whereupon the soldiers battered down the doors and forced an entrance. The doors | | he attained; still bear the marks of violence. The front one espe- clally 1s hacked and battered as if with an axe, During his life Vallandigham would not allow them to be repaired or replaced. these works as evidences of what he considered a herotc contest, It 13 stated that Mrs. Vallandigham secured one of the axes used by the soldiers, which ; Sue sill retains as a trophy of the struggle. MANY VISITORS From nine o'clock until nearly one the crowd pase- ed through the hall (where the remains lay) In one continous stream. It was a motley crowd, but there ‘was littie of that idle curiosity which usually marks such an occasion.

His ‘new departure’ movement had won for him new friends, while he retainea nearly all the old ones. THE COFFIN. The comin rested on a catafalque covered with lack velvet.

The cosey little parlors of Mr. Vallandigham’s late residence were crowded with @ sympatiizing group of friends, mostly ladies. The men stood around wher- ever they could find @ place. The interior of the House 13 as plain and unpretending as the exter or, No elaborate and costly works of art adorn the ‘parlor walls. ‘Chere was a portrait of Mr. Vallandig- Dan, evidenfiy painted in his younger days, and an \mperial pn otograph of him hung over the chimney pivee, in the front parlor, showing him as the world has seen him, Among the other pictures were well executed photographs of Robert EK.

The lot itself 18 covered with a gracefu: mound, from the borders of which the encircling ground slopes upward either way, to @ surrounding circle of similar mounds, each separated by a narrow valley. Around the newly- made grave, in anticipation of the immense attend. ance, protecting ropes had been stietched, within | which only the family and triends and those «irectiy interested in the burial service were to be admitted.

Meating of Memers ef the Bar in Dayton— Resolutions of Sympathy—Speeches by Men- ator Thurman, General McCook, Gougrcsxe man Cox and Others. Dayton, June 20, 1871. At ten o’clock the members of the bar of tals city heid a meeting at the Court ifouse for the purpose of hearing the report of the Comunttee on Resolu- Uons appointed yesterday, In addition to the members of the bar of the city there were pre- sent many distingmished gentlemen of the legal profession from other parts of the State and the country, Among them were Senator Thurman, ex- Senator George E. Pugh, 8 8. Cox, of New York, Lewis D. Campbell, General George W. Mevook and othera, State Senator Odien presided. The court room was densely packed, REMARKS OF SENATOR THURMAN, After the reading uf the resolutions, wnich were of the usual character of ail obituary resolutions, only a littie more prolix, Seuator Thurman arose and said: Mr. CHAIRMAS Ata bar meeting lke this, com. posed of geatleren of diverent political sentunents, embled to pay a tribute of respect to a deceased professional brother, avy remarks other than tose Toucuing M13 Drovess'oval character aad his ohnrace suppose that this consideration mast necessarily ailenuate whail have tosay, if, tadeed, brevity ere not greatly to be desired on this oc casion, OF professional character Valiandigham I I never saw tt @ case; him wake @ legal argument. I have, however, read some of his printed arguments, that were character ized by that jorce of mend, tnac felicity of e sion, that marked every production of his pei in the actual straygies of the bar [ never saw himin my infe, Ana yet | know he must have been a great lawyer by the reputation he attained in a city whose bar is seooud to none in the State, and where no ordinary man could attain the standard and I also. kuow it well, from my knowleage ot the man _ himsell, a knowledge extending through some thirty years of his ttie, LT know he nad that quickness of appre- hensiou, that grasp of mind, that steadiness of purpose, that eartuestness of will, that felicity of expression, that magnetic eloquence and that un- tirmg industry which could not faii to achieve success at the bar when coupled witn an integrity of character, both im his public and in ns private career, which no man ever called into question, I kuow, tnereiore, that ne must have been a great lawyer. I saw evidences of it in the sad circumstances that produced his death; for he had one reniarkabie tralt of character that, perhaps, brought him to his untimely end—in whatever cause he embarked—bde it political, be lt moral, be it protessional—he threw his whole soul into it. It seemed impossibie for it to be otherwise, Maay a time have met tum in political con- ventions and in social intercourse where po- or moral subjects became the topic of conversation. Many # me 1 have agreed with him, but not unfrequently have I aisagreed, aud vet 1 could not help oeing struck with the fact that however untenable any theory he advanced seemed 1o me, however much to my mind tt might seein un- true, he never failed to be thoroughly convinced of its truth himself, His mind was so constituted that his theories were trutlis themseives to him, however much to others they might seem unsound. And with that eagerness of mind, that ardor to which 1 have atinded, he prosecuted every cause which he espoused, aod [ caunot help thinking, after reading, with @ caretul and patnial interest, the circum his character. He had a theory of the defence ot bis cient, Whether right or notl know not. Ihave no opinion in regard to this matter, and if 1 had it would not be proper to express it here, Ihave no doubt it was truth Itself to him; [have no douvt it was as a revelation to him; I have no doubt he be- leved Init as much as he belleved in nis own exis! ence, and that ju his eagerness to impress that be- lef upon others he lost that prudeace which chai acterized the man. Mr. Chairman, many & lawyer has lost his health | and even his liie in pursnit of his profession, By an overworked brain, by sickness contracted ta the exposure that sometimes attends a professional career, by agitation of mtud, loss of happiness and sometimes loss of friendship, men have become weuried of life and sunk gradually into the grave but no man whom I ever Knew has lost his life in as dramatic and herot an exercise of profession, mm so thorough, so complete an absorption in his cause, as our lamented [riend. Most grateful to his friends is the fact Liat without regard to party, that | without regard fo political subjects, without rey to any sulyect Whatever, there 13 Row one unk voice of lainent, one wniversal expression of sorrow, throughout tb, Ath and preadih of the iand. GENERAL W'COOK'S BULOGY. General George W. McCook, demucratic candidate for Governor of Onto, sald 1 did not desire to utter a word upon this occasion Which bas brougit us togeter, 1 understood tt would not be expected from me, aud f would be st- lent vow If | had not been named by the gentleman upon my right, and but for the fact that my silence night subject me to imisconstructions, I have known Mr. Vailanligham jonger, perhaps, than an; person who has been of recent years connec! With him. £ commenced the study of Latin in a school taught by id while he himself Was a pupil, Our relations from that time on, through almost the cntire period of our lives, have been friendly, and for yeurs there was not a line of difterence between us, I have not known tim in nis professioual career of late years, for I was a young man when he leit he part of the State where I was born an in which I restded.

In the language of a quaint English author, he wieiled his rapier as i it were a Lissome lath.

Mr. Hili quietly remonstrated with him, when he drew off and struck hm (Hill) @ powerfal blow In the face. His striking wasa signal for all the “neelers” who nightly follow him to joa in the assault, and In less than a minute they had stripped off a large and valu- abe diamond pin from Hil’s shirt and gone through his pockets.

Genet was the favorite, selling tn the pouls for $100, Nonesuch 745, J. J, Bradley $39 and the others as a field briaging $11. The backers of the favorite in the first trot fell heavily | by an accident that befel Heatherbioom in. the sécond heat, She collided with Northern Chief and had one of ner sulkey | wheels taken off, while the sulkey of the stalilon | ‘Was upset and broken to pieces by the horse running away. Heatherbloom behaved quictly after the acci- dent and never attempted to run. In the second trot Gene: was a great favorite, and his backers lost heavily on him by nis unsteadiness. THS FIRST TROT.

Defeat of the Athletics, of Philadelph’ their Own Ground—Maguificent Game a Splendid Victory. If the Mutuals continue as they are doing at pre- sent they will almost succeed in emulating the feat of the Red Stocking nine of Cincinnati in 1539 —viz,, in going through an entire season without.losing a game, They cannot exactly accomplisn that extra- ordinary performance, however, as they have, un- fortunately, already lost one game; but, with that solitary exception, there appears to be no reason why they should not carry all before them now, They are batting better than they have done for some seasons, and thelr flelding is far im advance anything they have hitherto exhibitea. Having suceeedel = in defeating the Forest City nine, of Cleveland, on Monday, thelr engagements led them yesterday in the direction of the Quaker City, where the Ath- letics, Nusied with their victory over the Olympic od of | Club, of Washington, on Saturday, were prepared to give them a very warm reception, and send tuem back tothe Empire City sadder if uot wiser men. ‘kan proposes, but God disposes,” and the kindly intentions of the celebrated “growlers” were [rus- trated by the efforts of the Mutual nine themselves, who the Phitadeiphians found could give rather more than they were likely to get, The Mutuai nine, Wuder the fosterig provwction of the courceous Aleck Davidsoa, proceeded by we hail-past eight o'clock A.
