Those specially invited to attend the iuneral are the President and the members of the Cabinet, Justices of the United States Supreme Court, the Diplo- matic corps, Genera! of the Army and Admiral of the Navy. The invitations to the two lass named include invitations to army and navy officers and officers of the Marine Corps respectively, who will occupy seats in the semi-circle in front of the presiding Officer's desk. The invitations are in printed Jorm, on mourping paper, enciosed in mourning envelopes, With the exception of the diplomatic and other galleries which are always reserved, the galleries of the Senate will be open to the public. The ser- vices, which will consist of brief prayers and read- fogs from the Scripture’, will be conducted by | Rev. Byron Sunderland, Chaplain of the Senate, and Rev. J.G. Butler, Chaplain of the House of | Representatives. By special request of the inti- mate personal friends of the deceased no remarks ‘will be made on the occasion. The Senate and House committees will then ac- company the remains (when these services are | ever) to the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad de- ‘pet, and proceed ‘at once by special train to New | York, arriving there probably belore midnight, and will leave New York for Boston by the regular express train, at ten o’clock on Satur. day morning. The city authorities of Philadelphia ave tendered the use of Independence. Hall ‘where the remains might lie in state while in tran- sit; and those of New York have placed their services at the command of the Committee on Obsequies, together with any escort which would be acceptable; but the committee have decided nos to vary the above arrangement, as they nad telegraphed to Boston, and arrangements | have begn made there in expectation of the ar- rival of the remains at six P.M. on Saturday; when the State authorities of Massachusetts will Dave charge of the subsequent ceremonies, It ia supposed that the remains will be taken to the Massachusetts State House and le in state there until the last funeral rites, on Mon- day, shall have been performed. Mr. Sum- ners remains will in all probability be finally deposited at Mount Auburn, where his mother and the other members of his family are buried. The colored people of the Dis- trict have met in their several meeting places to- night with a view of showing their respect to the memory of the aead Senator. Senator Carpenter this aiternoon went into the Supreme Court room and moved that the Court adjourn over to-morrow to attend the funeral ob- Bequies of Senator Sumner and the Court at once granted the motion, The burial case for Senator Samner’s remains arrived from Philadelphia to-night, and they were placed in it. A large number of persons, princi- pally colored, called at the house throughout the day and evening in expectation of seeing the body; but the arrangement is not to expose it for that purpose until laid in scate in the rotunda of the Capitol to-morrow, UNITED STATES SENATE, Wasuinaron, March 12, 1874, The galleries of the Senate Chamber were crowded this morning before the hour of meeting. The chair of the late Senator Sumner was draped in mourning, and a large and beautilal bouquet of calla lilies, japonicas, hyacinths, violets and white tea rose buds was placed on his desk. The Chaplain, in nis opening prayer, said :— © Lord, our God, onr Father in heaven, we all do fade @s a leat before Thee. One generation cometn and er goeth, and so Thou stundest this day to plead y people. Two honored heals lie low, and the sigiing of sister cities responding in their griet is heard inal the land. ‘The graye must receive its own. We Dow in silence and submissio: Christ is our only shicid. MRE. ANTHONY'S FORMAL ANNOUNCEMENT. Mr. Anthony, of Rhode Island, arose and said :— Mr. PRESIDENT—In the absence of the Senator to pin this saddest duty appertains, and who is etained irom the Senate by illness (the Senator from Massachusetts), have been requested to make to you the jormal announcement of an event ‘which my heart refuses to accept, and which my lips hesitate to declare.

WASHINGTON, March 12, 1874, The only allusion to Senator Sumner’s death in the chaplain’s opening prayer was an expression of thanks for the trae and courageous men ever Taised upto defend that which is just and rfgnt, and of @ hope that the dispensation over which the nation mourned to-day might be sanctified. After the reading of the journal no business was entered upon, and no motion of any kind was made; but the members sat injtheir seats, waiting, amid a murmur of conversation, for the expectea message trom the Senate announcing its action On the death of the Massachusetts Senator. MR. HOAR'S ADDRESS, ‘At thirty-five minutes past twelve the message was reccived from the Senate, and thereupon Mr. £.

SORROW IN MASSACHUSETTS. e | Boston, March 13, 1874, The death of Senator Sumner bas created an intense feeling of sorrow in Boston, and the mani- | festations of mourning, State, civic and in private circles, are of @ very general nature. At the opening of the Legislatare this afternoon a com- munication was received from Governor Wash- burn announcing the death of the distinguished Senator. GOVERNOR WASHBURN’S MESSAGE. Of him, as much as of any man ot his time, it may be said that he lived not for himseli or his kindred. A spe- cial representative of this State, his Commonwealth was the whole country, For years one ot the most proml- nent and influential citizens of the United States, he was recognized by the civilized world as one of the foremost advocates of strugyling humanity. Thus acknowledged at home and abroad, his déath will be deeply and sincerely mourned, not alone by his State and this nation, but by every'peopie, and country reaching out fora higher and freer lite. Twenty-three years ago this spring he was elected to the United States Senate, and at the time of his death he was the senior Member of that body in length of consecutive service. worthy of general commendation, He rarely allowed personal considerations of any kind to interfere with his ube obligations. Had he not been blessed with an ron constitution he must long ago have succumbed to the weight of hislabors. Devoted to many phases of one ing himself with great energy and power into whatever he undertook, it was given hiin to see a noble triumph of that for which he aspired and wrought. Thousands the ways of life easier and brighter because of him, and in almst ¢ there will be praise: honor to his name. Daring his jong period of service some mistakes he doubtless made, for despite his great learning and intellectual grasp'he somewhat lacked the every-day wisdom trequ wiven to those much his interiors. But this was in no sense to his discredit as aman. His aims were high; Purposes were pure. His voice was that of an honest man ; his endeavorg were ‘hove of an upright statesmen. | His moral integrity stands outa sublime figure in these later years. While the atmosphere around him was foul with corruption no stain of suspicion ever tell upon nim. However other public servants pi their positions for selfish ends we all telt sure that Charles Sumner would not ve smirched by an, losures or investigations. This single fact alone is enough to crown him with glory. Concluding with a reference to the recent repeal of the resolution of censure, it reads GentLeMen-You must have unspeakable satisfaction at this hour, in your recent action on the matter relative to 3 the aruy' register and national battle flags. It was ¢om- municated to Mr, Sumner while he was in full possession Of all his tacuities, and we may well bolleve that he re- Jolced in this vindication by the constituents whom he had ‘80 long and so faithfully served. J thank you for giving me the pleasure of transmitting to him, by the hands ot one whom he honored, & representative ‘of those tor whom he had so herolcally struggled, this treah token of the regard in which he was held by the people of thix Com- monwealth. It was hisdesire, often expressed, that he might fall, when fall he must, at the post of duty. His Wishes in’ this respect were g The day before his death he was at the Senate Chamber attending to official business as our agent and servant, and one ot his last utterances while in the arms of death was » request to an intimate friend. to take care of the Civil Rights bill, the passage ot which he had much at heart Thus he went out irom among us, with his last Moments of consciousness, still pleading, as he had so oite so eloquently pleaded through inany years of Yigorous manhood for the down-trodden and oppressed. ‘he great Senator has fallen, and we shall see him no more on earth, dead he yet speaketh by the hopes he inspired, the work he accomplished and the recol- lection of bis virtues, In a tew Gays his mortal remains Will be laid away in the grave, Be it ours to guard most tenderly the memory he hath ‘lett to us, and prove our- #e.ves the ft constituents of Charles Sumner. ‘The Legislature, at the conclusion of the reading, appointed suitable committees upon resolutions and to make arrangements jor the obsequies, and then adjourned, SADNESS AND REGRET IN BOSTON. The city Fao at @ special meeting to- day, passed a series 01 eulogistic resolutions, and decided to hold a public meeting at Faneuil Hall on Saturday to enable the public to take proper | action with regard to the event, The Massachusetts Historical Soctety was ad- dressed upon the subject by the Hon. Charles Francis Adams, Judge Clifford, Judge Thomas, Rev. Mr. Waterston and Mr, Edmund Quincy. Mr, Adams offered an appropriate resolution, expres- sive of the high esteem in which Mr. Sumner was held by his fellow members Of this society, The Board ot Trade has voted that its room be draped in mourning for thirty days, and will be represented at the juneral.

In the Assembly at'Albany yesterday Mr. Beebe Qrose and said that he was instructed by the com- mittee appointed to take into consideration the death of Charles Sumuer to report the follow- ing:— The Assembly having received with profound grief the intelligence of the death of Charies Sumner, does, in becoming recognition of the purity of chara: ter, devoted iotism and noble services of the illustrious deceased, ie That In his death the nation has been bereft of one of its ablest statesmen, freedom has lost a dauntiess champion, and mankind has been deprived of the ser- vices of one skilied to directand strong to strike m the interest of humanity. ‘That, while we bow in sorrowful submission to the dis nsation with which our country has been visited, Wo ice that in the grand achievenients of his life and in the noble record he has lett we have @ lertage whieh will perpetuate his memory torever. Mr. Beebe—It has been said that the degree of | advancement in civilization and refinement to which a nation has attained is justly indicated by the respect and reverence it pays to the memory fof its worthy dead. If this be so, then in nu other way can the people of this country more bonor themselves than in doing honor to the memory of Charles Sumner, Sincere io purpose and earnest in effort, he towered an imtelleetual gtant fore- most among the scholars, statesmen anu patriots of the age in which he lived. It may not be expected that in the career of such @ man each individual act will address itself to the approval of bis countrymen, but we can with price contemplate the grandeur of his character and recognize in bim one oj those devoted champions of right who, where he considered the line of jus- tice to be drawn, was ever there to plant his foot with drmness and perish rather than recede there- from a single step; and, while we view him in this character, we are impressed that he stands in the history of the world as some illimitabie hand might Strive to make a Paulor an Apollo stand. I am instructed, sir, to move that the resolutions be made a special order for Wednesday evening next at hal! past seven o'clock, On motion ot Mr. Beebe the resolutions were made a special order for Wednesday evening next, when a special session will be held tor the purpose.

Hence Sumner did not work in vain, for he lived to see a united countr and a nation that in the end has done him full justice. On his motion the Court then adjourned out OF respect to his memory, ENGLISH TRIBULE TO HIS MEMORY. TELEGRAM TO THE REW YORK HERALD. Lonpon, March 12, 1874, The Times to-day publishes a laudatory obituary article on the late Charles Sumner, Referring to the disputes between England and the United States, the Times says:-—‘Mr. Sumner was not able to judge us dispassionately, and we, possibly, have not understood ail the influences which made him apparently unjust, It is better to forget these differences and remember the strong impulse for good which first drew him from private life to oppose that great national wrong—slavery—and which, in spite of his many weaknesses, remained his guiding principle even to the end.” The Standard, in a leading article on the late Charles Sumner, says, he was a fino speaker and personally honorable, but he was utterly wanting in statesmansiiip.
