Paragraph 102 of the “Revised Regulations of the Revenue Marine Service’ is amended by substituting three years for two years as the usual term of service of an officer upon a station. Allot- ments of pay for the support of the family or other relatives of officers of the revenue service may be authorized on their applicetion therefor, in the aiscretion of the department for @ sum not to ex- ceed in any case two-thirds of the monthly pay of the officers desiring it, and for such time only as he may be stationed apart irom them on public duty. Sending money or extending valuable javors to officers of the revenue marine service by ship chandlers or other persons connected with the service as contractors is prohibited, and onicers are forbidden to borrow money or receive favors from such contractors; and the depart- ment will consider ae iniraction of this rule by the latter named as suMcient cause for refusing to enter into centract with them thereafter. Retired Naval Officers Relieved from Duty. In accordance with a late law of Congress for- bidding that any retired officer of the navy be assigned to active duty, except in time ot war, the last retired officer has been relieved, and there is not one now on active duty, Under a decision of the Second Comptroller, rendered a few weeks ago, to the effect that certain retired oficers on duty at the time af the passage o! the law might continue to act until the law went into effect, some few were retained, but the last one on that list— Naval Constructor John Lenthal—was yesterday relieved, Mr. Lenthal has been on duty under Admiral Porter, aiding him in the construction of @ torpedo boat at New York. No one will be or- dered to duty in his place, as the boat referred to is nearly completed, and will probably be launched in the course of two months. Her engines are ready to be put in and plans are all perfected. There will be no necessity tor detailing another constructor in his place. Personal, Chauncey H. Snow, formerly owner of the National Intelligencer, was married to-day to Miss Nannie L. Stake. The ceremony took place in Trinity church, Georgetown, Rev. Father Stone- street officiating, and was witnessed by the élite of society in the district. Commander E. P.

The work of the five Inspectors of Indian agen- cies began to-day. Their labor will bring the Indian Bureau into direct relation with the agencies, and as no post will be visited twice in succession by the same inspector, it is expected a better under- standing will be had between the offictals, and greater efficiency attained in spreading the peace policy. New Post Routes. ; Over two thousand new post routes went into operation to-day. In the New England States— Main was increased 202; New Hampshire, 86; Ver- mont, 110; Massachusetts, 71; Rhode Island, 17, and Connecticut, 56, In the State of New York 468 new routes were opened.

The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has received the official report of the special Commission sent out to negotiate with the Sioux for the removal of their agencies, &c. Mr. Brunot, the Chairman, writes:—“The statement ‘hat the Sioux went from the Red Cloud Agency to attack Baker is denied by Dr. Daniells, the agent, who asserts that they could not have done so without his coming to the knowledge of such an occurrence either besore or after the event, Mr. Brunot thinks that Genera! Sheridan must have been misinformed, and says “that there should have been among the 15,000 Indians surrounding the agency some unruly spirits is no evidence of hostility on the part of the Sioux nation.” He closes by saying “that the Sioux in this vicinity are not hostile, but are firmiy determined upon peace, there can, in view of the facts which presented themselves to the Commis- sion from all sources, be found no reason to doubt.” ‘The law abolishing the franking privilege having gone into effect to-day the several Departments have detailed men especially to attach stamps to oficial documents, all of which have previously to be weighed, the balances for these purposes being supplied to all the bureaus and divisions. Five clerks ate now required to aM™x stamps to the dead letter mail each day, one clerk formerly having been suflicient for the franking.

Funeral of the President’s Father at Covington, Ky. Tribute to the Memory of the Deceased by Rev. Mr. Chadwick. CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 1, 1873, Strangers in Cincinnati to-day would have been strack witt'a short and quiet procession moving up Vine stree® hill, from the suspension bridge, in all about thirty carriages. The hearse was a very long and large one,.a8 if made to enclose a great mould of man, and go it aid, Itenclosed a splen- did Scotch:American; 2 man with all the virtues and frugalities of bis race, He had lived and died in the same _ qalet condition, frugal, turifty and village-like in all respects, al. though tne father of a man whose power is that of kings. After his corpse, and like him in some re_ spect, with a sad, suffering sort of face, the Presi- dent of the United States rode silently, thinking, perhaps, of this good old man’s charity and of the years he had to watt to see his son realize the ex- pectations due tohis iron frame and military edu- cation. While the funeral was intended to be A QUIET AFFAIR and while the procession was not led by the bray. ing oj trumpets or the tramp of men in uniform, it constituted, nevertheless, the affair of the day in this city and vicinity. The only man who had lived to see his son President of the United States had died in the midst of the very fulness of that son’s prosperity, in his second term as Chief Magistrate of the nation. The deceased, in his old age, had for years occupied a position of prominency in the eyes of the people, through his continuous intimacy with the President he fad begat and through his connection with many af- fairs of public interest. So it happened that over in Covington, Cincinnati’s most populous suburb, there were large crowds around the unpretentious. lead colored two story brick, well-known as THE GRANT MANSION. No. 520 Greenup street. Around and in the fine Union Methodist Episcopal church, southwest cor- ner of Fifth and Greenup streets, there were also thousands of persons of both sexes congregated. When your reporter called at the Grauf residence, at one P. M., there were crowds already gathered around under the fine old white maples that line the square on both sides. Within were gath- ered scores of immediate relatives and friends, in- cluding those absorbed in the deep grief that this taking off had occasioned. There were a dozen or more from Clermont county. Those admitted to the house passed around the casket in the parlor and then left for the church. The casket stood midway of the two small pariors. It was of the kind kaown as the Oriental, having a full length French plate giass, lid of silver, edged with eight silver bar handles, and an oval name ANE APRO READE LE NOLE NE DEDEDE. plate, inseribed, JESSE R. GRANT. 7 Born January 23, 1794, Died June 29, 1873. PORPRORC LEAL LEDOLE DERE LEDEDIDE DEDEDE DEDELODEDE HE DEDOD The lining was of white satin, tastefully fes- tooned with silk loops and tassels. A large cros¢ of evergreens and tuberoses, and a large basket of flowers for the head, constituted tke floral decorations. The face, seen through the glass, had AN APPEARANCE OF CALM REPOSE and of rejuvenation, owing to the absence of the glasses with ‘which it was always accompanied tn life, There were the heavy overhanging eyebrows, the large, prominent nose, the stern mouth and the tufted chin, all as in life, and looking really as if merely silent in peaceful sleep. It was two o'clock and ten minutes when the crowded audience in the church turned their heads at the slowly swelling notes of the organ as the short procession from the house entered the north aisle, headed by the ministers and bearing the cofln. ‘Jesus said, ‘I am the resurrection and the life,’’? solemnly quoted the pastor as they en- tered. After the ministers came President Grant, with bowed head, his mother on his arm, and after him Orville Grant and Mrs. Cramer, a sister. The other relatives followed in close order. Six cler- gymen participated in the exercises, all being of the Methodist Episcopal Church. There were Rev. George T. Savago, Dr. Hatfeld, N. W. Darlington, J.N. Worrell, Dr. Collins and J. 3, Chadwick, who preached the sermon, MR. CHADWICK’S SERMON ‘was delivered in a gentle, assuaging voice, and the latter part of it will be historic. ‘Many of the facts in the life of Mr. Jesse R, Grant have already been spread before the eyes of the public through the daily press. It will not be considered inap- propriate, however, for me at this time to speak briefy of the history of one who for the past eighteen years has gone in and out before the peo- ple of this community. Mr. Grant was born in Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania; died at his home in this city at the advanced age of seventy-nine years. For the last fifty-two years he has been blessed with the com- panionship, watched over with the tenderness, en- couraged under disappointments and cheered in sorrow by the Christian counsel of a true and faithful wife, now his widow. ‘Their married life commenced in Clermont county, Ohio, Since then their home has been respect- ively at Point Pleasant, Georgetown, and Bethel, Ohio; Galena, [l., aud Covington, Ky. Four of the six children have been spared to them, and three of this number are present at this service to-day One has been honored by his countrymen for the second time in being ELECTED TO THE HIGHEST AND MOST RESPONSIBLE OFFICE in the gift of the American people. From his youth Mr, Jesse R. Grant was used to toil. He had an honorable calling, and by faithfulness to his bust- ness, by carefuiness, industry and economy, accu- mulated @ good share of earthly substance. The promptness with which ne met his obligations has been instanced since his death in the articles published in our daily papers. During his life he has shared largely in the expertence of men who have suffered from financial losses and betrayed confidence, He was a man of strong pur- pose and resolute will, These qualities undoubt- edly urged him forward in many of the projects of his life, when without them he would have failed. He had & generous side to his nature. The poor bave been befriended by him, and he has shown himself ready on many occasions to help those who were in trouble. That he sometimes made mistakes, and that he had his faults none will deny. But at the grave we should call to mind haman ex- cellencies and forever bury homan faili- nz. In garly lif he united and has Snow rameneey retained his relationship with the Methodist Episcopel Church, His widow and daughters are worthy members of tue same church. During nis sickness it hag been our privilege to converse . with Mr, Grant and direct him to Jesus Christ, the fav.lor of men. At his bedside, in company with the am "bers of his family, we have, on different occantoms, Joined in prayer to God for saving Grace and .Divine strength. Other Christian friends have ax30 felt a tender solicitude for his spiritual welfare. Hts death was not whoily anexpected. He never fully recovered from the effect of the parafstic. stroke ‘with which he was suddenly stricken down in December, 1871. This Dot only shattered hig plysieal Crame but somo- what his mental faculties, During his last sick- ness he’ seemed at times to suffer intense pain, He did not think that he would reco ver, and his family and others remarked’ the same. The closing years of bis life have been EVENTPOL YRARS in the histery of this‘nation,. That he shoula".have had unusual’ interest in passing events doesnot seem strange’ to those who read history to-d¥y- Under the Administration of President Johnsom Mr. Grant reeeived and held to: the time of his death the appointment of Postmaster in this city. But death respects neither-persous por the places thoy occupy. He" smites in every.station and call- ing of life. Princes aud peasants are alike his subjects. In the quiet of his home, with his wife ana danghter and a few triends at tis bedside, on Sunday evening last, just as the sum of day was hiding his face behing.the western hills, Mr. Jesse R. Grant departed "this earthly life.” THR SERVICES AT THR CHURCH oecupied just an hour. Then the congregatiomall filed around the coffin and: took their last look at the well known face. Thetr attention was equally attached to the living—to the face of the President, who sat immediately in front of the casket, with downcast eyes, close by his mother and sister. The casket was then transferred to the hearse,.the mourners and friends to the carriages, and the mareh to Spring Grove Cemetery, north of Cincinnati was commenced. As the pro cession passed through Covington, across the grana suspension bridge over the Ohio River and through miles of streets, of Cincinnati, there were crowds everywhere to note it. Of course the President's face was looked for keenly by all. But few caught a glimpse of it. The body was interred in section 29 of Spring Grove Cemetery, than which there is no finer in the country. Quite a throng of people had driven in ahead of the procession and were already congregated around the new grave in respectfulsilence. When the hearse reached the spot, on the square urn surmounting the obelisk of white marble were the inscriptions, ‘Jesse R. Grant, R. Clara Grant, Born, December 11, 1828, Died March 6, 1865," and “Samuel Simpson Grant, Born Septemner 23, 1825, died September 13, 1861.” The following were THE PALLBEARERS who bore the remains to the grave:—J. D. Hearn, Harvey Myers, H. K. Lindsay, J. S. Nixon, James Shinkle, all of Covington; J. P. Tweed, of Cincin- nati, and General Kautz and Surgeon Swift, of Newport Barracks. President Grant walked to the grave at the head of the procession with his sister, Mrs. Cramer, leaning on his arm. The lady sobbed bitterly all the time while the service at the grave was being said by Rev. Mr. Chadwick and Rev. Mr. Worrall, and finally as the casket went in the grave she exclaimed, as she leaned forward to take a last look at it— “Father, dear father, farewell!’ The widow re- mained in her carriage and the President stood in silence, withobt any betrayal of the emotion that he must have experienced at that sad moment. The President, I hear, is determined to find out the reason why he did not promptly receive the despatches about his father’s condition that were jorwarded him. It appears that he received three of them together, Had he received them promptly he could have reached the bedside of his iather in time to see him die, The time for his return East has not yet been fixed.
