The Remains of 718 Confederate Soldiers Finally Interred, in RicuMmony, Va., June 20, 1972, This evening one of the most imposing, sad and solemn funeral processions ever witnessed passed through the streets of this city, bearing to their final resting place at Hollywood Cemetery all that remained of the hones and dust of 718 Confederate soldiers who fell at Gettysburg, to be laid at rest be- neath their native soil, Nearly a week ago the remains of the gallant dead were received here in a large namber of boxes direct from the fleld where they died fighting for the “lost cause.” A large majority of the dead belonged to Pickett’s division of Virginians, which made the disastrous and fatal charges on that bloody tleld, and their valor and heroism have since become matter of historic note. The entire day was spent in preparing for the grand funeral obsequies. THE DECORATIONS. The streets along the line of the route were beautifully draped ia the sad and sorrowful em- blems of mourning, crape and black serge, in long and graceful festoons, interspersed with appropri- ate mottoes, and occasionally a riddled battle flag, fringed with the embiematic black, hung from the houses and waved sadly in the dying breeze of a Southern summer evening. All the stores, banks, bublig buildings, telegraph offices and private dweilings were ciosed, and even the office of the State Journal, the republican paper here, and the Post OMice, paid their mournful tribute to the honored dead by closing thelr doors and hanging out the embiems of death. THE PROCESSION. At five o'clock the procession formed on Main | street, at Seventeenth, and marched up Main to Monroe Park, and thence out through Laurel strect to the cemetery. First in order came a large de- tachment of police, headed by the municipal au- thorities, wearing badges of mourning. Then came the band of the First Virginia regiment, play- “Dead March tn Saul,” that mournfal requiem of a soldier's burial. Following came the Colonel of the First regiment and stait officers, mounted, at the head of their command, which, with reversed arms, marched to the solemn music and kept step to the beat of muffled drums, The flags of the regiment were furled and draped, Another detachment of police, all COMRADES OF THE DEAD, and then came the most heart touching-spectacle— sixteen wagons, laden with the bones of the dead soldiers, who, years ago, marched cheerfully through the same streets ex voule to the battle field. The bones and dust ta boxes were covered with wreaths, | flowers and weeping willow, and as this portion of the procession met the gaze of the vast concourse of spectators there was scarcely an eye that was not dimmed by a tear, and from many of the full and copiously, Each wagon was accompanied by an escort of four soldiers, and next behind the men whom he led in the battle came, GENERAL GEORGE EB. PICKETT, commander of the diviston to which the dead be- Jonged. Following him were a long line of ex-Con- federate soldiers, the companions of the dead, and them came the Society of the Sonthern Gross Brotherhoot, wearing thelr badges. The rear of the procession was brought up by a long line of carriages, extending over a mile. Arriving at Hollywood, that city of the dead was thronged with | spectators, and, amid the most appropriate and im- | pressive ceremonies, the 718 were finally laid at Test.

WASHINGTON ——_—+__ Wasitnaron, June 20, 1872, A Pardoned Rebel’s C me The Quartermaster General transmitted to Comp: troller Brodhead for his decision a claim from a pardoned rebel for military supplies furnished in 1860, It was claimed by the applicant that by recent decisions of the Supreme Court a par- don or amnesty reinstates a rebel claimant in his right to recover for property forfeited to or confiscated by the United States government. That such an act of pardon is not merely prospect- ive, not only restoring & man personally to future credit, but returning to him or reimbursing him for goods, effects or credits heretofore forfeited or confiscated as the property of a public enemy. The Comptroller was of opinion that such was not a fair deduction from the decisions of the Supreme Court, and remarked that while deferring always tothe judgment of that great tribunal he thought there were two existing grounds on which claims of this character must at present be rejected by accounting. and disburs- ing officers, The first is the general prin- ciple that money or credits which have reverted to the United States Treasury by force of law, international, martial or statute, cannot be withdrawn except by the action of Congress mak- ing an applicable approprialion, This is a consti- tutional provision (article 9, section 6). The second ts found in the joint resolution of Con- gress of March 2, 1867 (14 Stat., 571), which has never been repealed or modified, A Costly Marshal. The reason for the suspension by tne President of Logan H. Roots, Marshal of the Western District of Arkansas, was, that during one year he expended nearly $240,000 for the expenses of the Court, or more than the expenses attending all the United States Courts in the State of New York. His last requisition was for $125,000. The Department of Justice ordered $25,000 to be sent to him, but after- wards withheld the amount. The President has appointed William A, Britton Marshal, in the place of Logan H. Roots, Paper for Printing, Numerous requests have been received at the Treasury Department for an opinion as to the con- struction of that section of the new Tariff act which provides for a revenue of twenty-five per cent ad valorem on all sized or gined paper suitable only for printing paper.

JUDGE MCUNN'S TRIAL, Tho Impeached Justice’s Case Bo- fore the Senate, Tue Argoments of Counsel and Chit-Chat to Gain Tima—The Charges Brought Against the Do- fendant—Tho Investigation to Proceed on Tuesday—The Angry Sona- tora Make a Call Upon the Comptroller, , AbBany, N, Y., June 99, 1872, The President of the Senate called that vody to order at ten A, M.,:twenty-four Senators respond- ing at roll call, There were but eight persons in the galleries of the Senate clamber, little or no in- terest being felt in the case by citizens generally, Senator Murphy, (com the Committee on Rules, re- ported it had been agreed to allow counsel for both sides twenty minutes each for discussion. ‘The re- Dort was agreed to, Senator Lewis desired to be excused from attend. ance at the sessions of the Senate. This was ob- jected to by the members, feeling that if the priv- lege was granted to one Senator many others Wwoull make similar requests, and the body thus be lett without a quorum, THR PRINTED RVIDENOR. Mr. John E, Parsons, in the absence of Mr. Van Cott, sentor counsel for the prosecution, resumed the argument of yesterday afternoon, claiming that the Senate should accept the evidence furnished by the Governor aa teatlmony competent for them to act upon, He claimed that the accused had only a right to be heard in his defence, and against such portions of the evidence furnished by the Governor as Judge McCunn demurred to, Mr. Parsons also argued against any delay in the case, All the discussion thus far was to the effect that the Senate was sitting as Court, but he could find no authority for such an assumption. He could find no authority giving the Senate the right to administer oaths to witnesses coming before them in such proceed- ings, ov to call witnesses before the bar. ‘the time for counsel—twenty minates—having expired, Mr. Parsons was called to order by the Chairman, Senator Woodin, but allowed to proceed again, on motion of Senator Murphy. Mr. Parsons then replied to the objections raised to the admission of the printed testi- mony, and asked what right the accused had to ask for another hearing, to bring the same witnesses upon the stand again, and hear the same evidence repeated, thus occasioning great and unnecessary delay? In con- aes IMs argument he quoted from the debates in the Constitutional Convention of 1846, and sec- ond Johnson, seventeen, Jackson's case, showing where witnesses having died thelr evidence was held good and admitted by a committee of the Assembly, THE SENATE CAN ADMINISTER OATHS, Mr, Moak, of counsel for defence, said the Senate had the inherent right to adminis oaths and re- ecive and determine upon ev: nee by the com- mon law, It had all the rights of the English House of Lords, unless restricted by the constitu- tion or Statute. There can he no doubt that when the constituton gives an officer whose reputation is at stake, and whose whole fu- ture may depend upon the result, a hearing, tt means simply a hearing upon the testimony. If this was not the meaning of the constitution a Gov- ernor and Senate in accord might at any time re- move any judge not in political sympathy with them, All the vacancy and thus disfranchise the constitu- ents of the oflicer so removed. At this point the Senate resolved itself, at twenty- five minutes past eleven o'clock, Into executive session for discussion. THE FIRST TESTIMONY REFUSED. After an hour and Ifspent in executive ses- sion the doors were reopened, when the clerk read the decision of the Senate, denying the motion of counsel for prosecution, thus refusing to accept the printed testimony as evidence, Colonel A. C. Davis said in behalf of his client, Judge MeCunn, that they were prepared to waive the right to demand a trial here, and were willing to abide the action of the Senate in any way it might determine, motion to proceed with the trial having been called for bythe Senate it was adopted unanimoualy, Mr. B. N: Harrison, of counsel for the Bar Assoct ation, opened the case for the people, saying they were not present as prosecuting attorneys, but at the request of the Senate, who had invited them to come here and present the case. He related the proceedings in New York and the report of the committee of the Assembly to that body. That committee had carefully investigated the charges and reported unanimously in favor of their accept- ance, He related the commencement of the pro- ceedings on request of the Bar Association of New York, and claimed that Judge MeCunn’s conduct was notoriously unjust, and had resulted in great injustice to the people not only of the city of New York, but the entire country. TNE CHARGES AGAINST M'CUNN, Counsel then related the first charge accompany- ing the Governor's Message, sent to the Senate May 4, giving the details of the celebrated case of Abraham B, Clarke vs. Abraham Bint: Y, and of the alleged connivance of Judge MeCunn with James F. Morgan, Daniel H, Hanrahan, and other ns unknown, in the fall and winter of 1869-70, by the firm and their creditors lost very heavily, both plaintiif and defendant being deprived of their property to an amount exceeding two hun- dred thousand dollars.
