Dr. Hale’s Lesson to Young Men. VICE PRESIDENT WILSON’S LETTER, Arrival of the Remains on Beacon Hill. Rev. Boston, Mass., March 14, 1874 ‘This has been another day of sadness and mourn- tng in Boston. Added to the gloom and sorrow consequent upon the death of Massachusects) dis- tinguished statesman, even the elements of the Weather have seemed to mingle in the gencral Melancholy feeling which prevails in the com- manity; dark and cloudy, tt has been the bleake: and most dismal day of the whole season. The ar- rival of the remains, their tender removal to the State Capitol on Beacon Hill, followed by along une of mourners and a public meeting this after- goon in Old Fannei! Hail, have been the chief events which forcivly and sadly impress upon the sommanity the loss of one of their foremost fel- tow citizens. THE FANRUIL HALL MEETING. Never since the old Cradle of Liberty was ded- | teated to ireedom has there been such a gathering | witnin its portals. The persons making ap tue | vast concourse assembled seemed as if each had lost ® dear personal iriend, Many of thein had before Sat in this old historic hall to listen to bis eloquent | addresses, and now they were gathered to pay a | wad and feeling tribute to his memory. The inte- tior of the venerable building presented a solemn and iunereal aspect, with its windows curtained in | black, shutting out the light of day, while its gas Je's burned dimly along the edge or the balconies. The emblems of griei, blended with the perma- whole nation. Bat in his personal interests and affections be was andis ours. His tather was an honored trate of Boston. In these squares andalieya of ours the boy. destined to such emimence, | pursued his ¢ iidish games. He was educated 10 our university on our borders. In his youth and ear manhood he sat at the feet of our Quincy ani Story and Shaw, our Adams and Webster and Everett and Channing. Here the future Senator received the influences from without, and kindled the aspirations within, that in due time resuited in that briiliant career, that nobie and anspotted hie, that unwearied, undivided and pre-eminent service for truth afd right, tor ireedom and hu- anity. awe to well, fellow citizens—we could not do less or otherwise—to gather to-day in this, our historic hall. We come to mingle our sympathies and ‘Wars under tie preasure of a great afliction, We come to renew our appreciation of an illustrious character and lile and rekindle our aspirations jor the best and loftiest things. We come to give thanks to the Giver o! all good jor this bright and pure light permitted to shine upon us so long, and (o bow in submission to tue decree that has Dow withdrawn it. We come to pay our tribute—not the last tribute, but the first—to the sacred memory of one of our best and greatest men, The solemn grief of this hour for the death of Charlies Sumner reveals vo us how much—how much more even than we knew—we did in our hearts honor and revere him while living. REMARKS OF RICHARD H. DANA, JR. Mr, MayoR—On such @ day as this, when this Cradle ol Liberty 1s draped as.the chamber of death, in the presence of these tearful aud stricken hearts, my words may well be lew. Happy, indeed, would be the man who could add anything to the expression of the scene. Asa little testimony of what 1 know and remember, and which is not known by the rising generation, 1can bear witness that in the Uni- versity his life was extremely studious; that at the age o! twenty-three he had secured the repu- tation oi a scholar and thinker and the respect and friendship of eminent men in jurispradence aud letters. ‘ben he went to Europe, at the age of twenty-six, he bore credentials from the frst men of Awerica to the first men o1 Europe, tor they knew that he would justily all that they could say of him. And his great Success in all parts of the Old World was owing hot merely to his Cyt social quali- ties, his affectionate heart and his varied accom- lishments; and there are Many who know, that in Eonaon and Paris, and Vienna and Rome, his days and nights were a8 laborious and studious as within the walls of Harvard University, manded the respect and the glad attention of the most eminent men holding the most responsibla positions in Burope. ‘They ioresaw in him the | ph publicist and statesman to which time jeveloped him. I knew him in varied relatioas— sacred, professional and liverary—but 1 pass them ail by lor the cons.deration of the part he took in organising the great party o! freedom in 1848. He been in anti-slavery cause, passing out of the region of mere moral effort, snaped itself fiuto a movement of practical poiitica, It was at bis chambers in Court street that that smali band of men was in the habit of gathering preparatory to the Buffalo Convention o1 1848, And I would pause a moment, sir, to pay my tribute of respect, iu which I know that you, Mr, Vice President of the United States, will heartily join, to the disin- terestedness, the courage, the fidelity of the men Who began that undertaking in those dark days, when it seemed but hopeless apd promised littic elise than labor and sacrifice. I recall the away, of Mr. Adams, Henry Allen, of Worcester; Stephen C, Samuel Hoar, of Concord, and his sons, frey, of Cambridge, Horace Manno—but ‘'T cannot complete the roll, Our thoughts to-day are di- rected to one of its youugest, who became the mosteminent of all, But, Mr. have foreseen then the scenes of the Wilson, Charles Dr. Pal- hast days; years, the news of his death would have been met by the tears and sobs of 4,000,000, ot an enfranchised race; that his seat in .the Senate, from wiuch he should once be e@ent memorials of the patriots of former flays and the statesmen of ater days, mmparted to the hall an air of subdued | @ourning in consonance with the feelings of the community. The historical rostrum was heavily @raped with sombre folds and festoons, as was the great painting of the scene in the Senate Chamber when the Great Defencer of the constitutton re- plied to the arrogant South Carolinian, The facade | of the galleries was neatly decorated with fes- | toons, caught up at the columns witn black lap- | peis with white borders. Behind this extended another line of drapery in pure biack, and above | (t, at the tops of the gallery pillars, white and | dlack festoons alternated on either side of the hall. ‘The cornice over the gallery windows was similar- ly adorned. The clock, upon the front gallery, was entirely hidden by a life-like portrait of Mr. | Sumner, resting beneath an arch bearing | the name “Charles Sumner,” and flanked with | tablets, upon which were inscribed the date of | Dirth—‘February 6, 1511”.—and decease—“‘March 1), 1874.” From the centre of the ceiling radiated long | strips of black and white bunting and four Ameri- can fags. Seats were arranged on either side of the platform for the accommodation of the mem- | bers of the city government and others, and the | galleries were reserved for ladies. All the rest of | the hall was clear and open to the general pubile. | ‘The doors were opencd to the ladies at half-past | ten o’clock, at which hour several hundred, who had been waiting upwards of an hour in the bleak wind without, were admitted to the hall. The gadleries were speedily filled, and many who arrived late were disappointed in not finding seats. At half-past eleven the guards whici had been stationed at the approaches to the | hallwere drawn in, and the general public aa- | mitted, In fiftcen minutes after the public were | allowed to enter, every seat and every available standing place in the hall were occupied, and a sea | of saddened upturned faces greeted the distin- guished gentlemen who assembled on the platform, | GENTLEMEN ON THE PLATFORM, Immediately tn the rear of the presiding officer | were seated Vice President Wilson, Robert ©. Win- | tnrop, Jonn M. Forbes, F, W. Bird, William Lloyd | Garrison, Richard H. Dana, Sr., Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, James M. Beebe, Franklin Haven, J. Inger- soll Bowditch. On the right sat General N. P, Banks, ex-Governor Claflin, Josiah Quincy, Nathan Crowell, of the Executive Council; Peleg W. ; Chandler. The leit side of the rostrum was also fillea | with prominent citizens, among whom were Dr. Ropert W. Hooper, Marshal P. Wilder, Elizur Wright, Moorfield Story, formerly private Secre- tary to Senator Sumner: Otis Norcross, Patrick Donahue, Samuel H. Walley, Kev. Phillips Brooks and others, ‘The Mayor then called upon Rey. S, K. Lotvrop, | D. D., to offer prayer. Beiore offering prayer Rev. Dr. Lothrop read Jrom the manuscript copy of Charies Sumner’s oration on Abraham Lincoln the following most | appropriate words :— In the universe of God there are no accidents, From the fall 01 a sparrow to the tall of an empire | or the sweep of a planet, all is according to Di- | vine Providence, whose laws are everiasting. It Was bo accident which gave to his country the patriot whom we now honor. It was no accident Which snatched this patriot so suddenly and so cruelly irom iis sublime duties. The Lord giveth | and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord, THE PRAYER, Almighty God, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Thou who livest while morials die, in devout sub mmission and gratitude we invoke Thy blessing and the comforts of ‘ihy Spirit as we gather here in solemn recognition of that inscrutabie ordering oi Thy providence by which one of our most distinguished fellow citizens and Senators has been suddenly called from his high office, from tue scene of his earthly fame and glory and use- fulness to the higher scenes and glories of the eternul world, We thank Thee tor his life. We thank Thee that Thou didst raise bim up and en- dow him with iarge talents, enrich him with varied learning and Bs him a commanding presence and power, and sent him forth to be the cham- Pion of freedom, to proclaim fii st that liberty was national and slavery sectional, and by energy and perseverance through toils, sacrifices and perils to bear and take a grand and glorious part in that confiict which ended ia breaking the tetters of the slave and proclaiming Ireedom universal and en- tire throughout the land, We thank Thee that his life was spared till his great work was done, and that the closing days of that life were made sweet and pleasant by the tes- tumony from his native State that he was still held in its Perfect trast and honor, And now, Ob pM ed (le pee pone the State and ie urning by his death, we pray that that death may be sanctified to all hoartsPand that his example may impress upon all rulers and people the inestimable yalne of that energy in duty, that firm devotion to principle, that incorruptible integrity, purity | and honor, both in puvite station and ih pri | vate life, that can alone preserve the peace, the | Fmanence, the prosperity and the gidry ol’ the nation; and may all that is said and done here this day tend to quicken in our hearts that jaith and those principles that shail make us better men, bet- ter citizens and better Christians; and this we ask to the glory of Thy holy name, through Christ Jesus | our Lord. ADDRESS OF MAYOR cons, Feitow Cirizens—The liieless torm of Charles Sumner is now on ite way from the national capt tol to Massachusetts, in the honorable and af- fectionate custody of ms peers in office, Sumner, the statesman and patriot, the schoiar, orator, 'philanthropist—a great and good man—is dead. e Whole civilized world takes note of the solemn event, The whole country, in its great cities, its scattered villages, ifs roadside farm. poke and its lowliest cabins, pauses, reflects and journs, Charles | der and respectful tributes. | have foreseen this, or tue one-hundredth part of | th driven by violence, would be draped in mourning by | the hands oi his colleagues, and adorned with the freshest fowers of the Southern soil; could he have known that the news of the event was to be spread in a few hours through the civilized world, and responded to by tributes of honor and praise from more than one contineat and irom the isles ol the sea; that busivess and thought would be arrested throughout this Republic and held as by a speil for days; that flags wouid be worn at half- Mast; the vells tolled in Charleston, 8.

One of the reso- lutions says truly. that was fattniul to the ma- terial interests and the wWellare of the State and city, This is true, but it is also true that he always made them secondary, a8 they are, to the great moral questions on Which our national iife de- pends. In the words ot a pvet, never put in print, but which feli upon my ear in this hall a few weeks ago, Whose presence we acknowledge with grati- tude to-day, and whom the iriends o! Charles Sum- ner now. more than ever, love and revere :— For what avail the plough and sail, Or land or life, If freedom fail? ‘The contemplation of a great character is always elevating and ennobling. His moral and intellec- munud belonged to the present order, but it was his power of will, bis moral energy, and lis human sym- pathy that insured to those powers their highest and fullest action, But, Mr. Mayor, I must restrain myself irom atvempting to enter upon that fetid, “1 cannot take my seat, however, with- out thanking you lor giving me tis opportuuity of adding a little testimony, to express a lew thoughts and feelings, not on his account, but my own, and 1 will content myseif with hoping that the resolu- tions which I have had the honor to present will not fall Ostet short of expressing, in some measure, What this assembly desires to place upon the record of this Solemn season, Mr. Dana clused bis address by offering the fol- lowing RESOLUTION: It having pleased the Almighty Maker of men and all wise Disposer of eventsto bring to a close the lite and labors on earth ot Chafles Summer, the citizens of bis native town, assembled in this hall, sacred to the memo- ries of great and good men, desiring to express our sor- row for tlis bereavement and our gratitude tor his life and services, do unanimously agree upon these reso lu- jons Resolved, That the benefactions of his public service have penetrated to the depths of our civilization, touched the springs of our national life and will be felt tor generations in the renewed and purified organiza. tion of the Republic. Resol everywhere and in all ages, he contributed’ not only by whai he has said and done ‘and suffered in the chamber of the Senate, but by surring and tireless appeals, for thirty years, io the conscience and heart, the magnanii- ity and sensibilities ot the whole people of the land. Resolved, We recail with special satisfaction his inex- haustible moral energy, his marvellous intelieciual vigor, his untiring industry, his varied attainments, the purity of his private character, the loitiness of his public the scholarly charm’ of his life and conver lignity of his bearing, his indomitable resolu a capacity of enthusiasm lor rigntand indignation tion, against wrong, and a ctvil courage which neither teared nor courted the hate or favor ot men. Kesolved, While we unite with other citizens of our Com- Mon wealth and of the Republic in expressions of sorrow ion and pride in sucha Iie and , We have a nearer claim and more special inter- itizens of Boston, the place of his birth and home, in whose institutions he was educated, and to whos uliar care his mortal remains are to be contided. W knowledge the interest he always took in our institutions oi education, charity, art, science and letters, and the ald he rendered to thei’ by his pen and tongue, his counsels Andlabors. We recognize that his name will add lustre to our history.

Rosolved, That there should be erected a permanent memorial bf Charles summer, such as becomes a com: munity not unmindtul of its duty to its great and good citizens, ana fitted to keep Is character and services berore the minds of future generations, We recommend that this memorial be one to which all, however poor, and ot wl er age, race or party, may make contri- butions. Resolved, To carry out the Purposes, of the preceding resolve the Mayor 1s requested to appoint a committee of tilly citizens, SPERCH OF GENERAL BANKS, General Banks was the next speaker, and ad- dressed the assemblage as follow: Mr. MAYOR AND FELLOW CITIZENS—The Senate of tne United States is a department in which is represented, most carefully, and exactly, the dige nity and worth and the patriotism of the govern- ment of the United States. It was carelully ar- ranged by the great framers of the constitution and the Jounders of the government to stand be- tween extremes of democracy on the one side and the aristocracy on the other, It is the tribunal selected to pass judgment of the last resort upon the failing men in every depart- ment of the government, It has always discharged its duty faithtully and well, and, although sometimes liable to be a little on the one side or the other of the principle of justice it was intended to represent, it stands to us as the accepted representative of the general strength and patriotic purpose of the nation and the country. Every State has aimed to send, to discharge the duty of representation in this august body, the flower of its population and the abiest of lig men, Massachusetts has been, among others, most happy in this respect. It numbers as the past Senators of the State in this august tribunal the best, the ablest, the purest of its citt- zens. Strong, Sedgwick, Dexter, John Quincy Adams, Otis, Webster, Everett, Unoate, Winthrop, Rantoul, and now Sumner, with many others Whose names will spontancously spring to your lips, stand as the representatives of this honored, patriotic State in that great body.

It was the only pubilc oMce he ever held, with the single exception of # ministerial ofice and a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. In the varied acquirements that are necessary as @ scholar, legist, jurist; ag an orator, debater and ind no man ever stood cetiee, (Applause. He had Marked ont f himself @ course of conduct adapted to this high magisterial office. ie had in the first mstauce determined What | think no other Senator had dezermined tor himself—toat under no circumstances and upon no call, oY that im conection with public affairs, would he ever leave his seat in the senate of the United States; and be- youd all other men, as the representative Of this state, he was taithful and true to that rule; and, although a little thing it is an important ele- ment in the estimate of his character. He nad fixed bis mind upon another important point. He bad not lvoked ior reputation, trausitory and mo- mentary, by connecting his name with measures of the time, representing more or less tue acct- dental spirit or tone of opinion or morals. He had determined to look to ideas and principles, aud the whole of his public life was directed to the dis- charge oi bis high duty, He wasthe detender of principles and of ideas. He was the propagandist of gens truths, and when standing alone in the ginning he had brought ap on the right and on the leit the col- ‘udns to sustain his keas in measures which he had been prompt to represent, it was an even chance it they did not find their leader away ahead ot the columns Pie brought up for his support, in this way he had a never ending and still enlarging and glorious field of action, and at the very mo- Ment when his spirit departed trom this world he bad undoubtedly conceived bis future course of conduct with reference to this advance and progress, to which we are all Strangers, and to which we would probably but sluggishly and slowly come up to support. In bis preparation for duty he was more conscien- tious and laborious than any man I have known in ay time. As an illustration I can say from, I think, personal knowledge—certainly from authen- tic information—that when a delegation of the city of Boston or one of the towns of the Common- Wealth in & constitutional convention of the State ot | Massachusetts, where the question of popular rep- resentation was to be considered and determined, he caretully studied every page of the doingsof the House of Commons and House of Lords during the great reform struggle in order to intorm himself on the philosophy as well as the prac- tice of the experience of the world upon this great question, And in every situation where he Was placed, whether it was when as a member of the Senate excluded irom all participation in the work of & committee, or when after many years he had discharged the duty of chairman of ‘the Com- mittee on Foreign Relations, from which he was unjustly and uncopstitutionally deposed—(ap- Plause)—he had but ene idea and thought, and that was—first, tor humanity and then for his country, (Applause.) In these times of pretence and ostentatious patriotism Massachusetts, ay, Air. Mayor, the city of Boston, can ill afford to 108e sucha man, There is no example that leads us to duty so bright, 80 constant and so undying as this, and there 1s po service that more strongly claims irom us an acknowledgment and a grateful con- Jession of our obligations. 1 ought to have said, in connection with the single idea to which I have adverted, that in bis advocacy of ideas and great truths and immortal principles, and disregard of the mere phraseology or of the framing of meas- ures in which those principles were to be em- balmed and guarded, he accorded to the spirit and the practice of the government and this country in its purest and greatest days paritamentary phuosopty and parliamentary law; and the spirit Ol parliamentary legislation precludes and denies to members of these great bodies that are to par- ticipate in the duty of making !aws, of tnitiating and iraming lor themselves the particular meas- ures or the particular torm of the measures upon Mere personal considerations atone, We have uuwisely and to a very great degree, and, I may Say, almost to a Vicious and a criminal degree, de- peered from this rule, and within my memory it as become a practice that aman was at liberty to pass anything, any idea, principle or measure to which he had not in some form contributed, It js unhealthy and unwise; it cannot bat come to ill, aud itis @ practice from which we should de- part, But at this moment of sadness tt is a relief and a joy that throughout the career of this illus- | trious Senator, this illustrious scholar, this illus- trious legislator, he placed no claim to respect or to honor the mere measures that are placed upon this Statute book. It1s as the advocate of immortal principles, ‘of immortal traths, part of which have | een gexecuted and part of which are in the future to be fought for and to be vindicated, that the triumph of his life and the honor of hi name must rest. The citizens of Boston have a Tight to participate in this honor, to assist in the commemoration of these great triumphs, and to drop tear upon his bier when it snall’be pre- sented, and to anticipate the sad moment by an assembly, honored like this, in this honored hall amid these emblems of woe. They have this right, as they call themselves the metropolis of the Co: Monwealth, and the State, as well as all its peo. pie, will assist in the discharge of the duty. (Applause.) REMARKS OF EX-MAYOR GASTON. Ex-Mayor William Gaston came forward and spoke as follows ‘The great man who in the fulness and com- pe renees of his fame has just passed to his rest, ad the accomplishment and graces of the states- | man, Of the orator and of the scholar, These ac- complishments attracted your admiration; but it | 3s not merely to the statesman, the orator and the scholar that you render your tribute to-day. You recognize something in the person, and in the | lite and character of Charlies Sumner which he had not acquired in the halls of legislation, in the forum or in the school; you recog: nize in him that integrity of purpose, that unhesitating devotion to duty, and to truth, which generally lead through fierce Opposition, but always jead to trinmph, and at Ue oe extort praises from unwilling lips. You find im his character a plactd and determined courage, which feared neither minorities nor ma- jorities. His vision seemed to so reach into tae fu- ture as to give him the power of prophecy. He looked through the ciouds which darroundea, or appeared to surround him to the light which lay beyond them, and by that light he saw the triumph ce a rinciples and the vindication of his fame. out! of hatred; but at the time o1 her deieat and his victory he tailed not to be just to and we all reverently thank God that he lived to see her true to him again. To-day Massachusetts and South Carolina join their voices in lamenta- tions, To-day Massachusetts and South Carolina unite to do him justice tor purity in the public ser- vice, By unselfish patriotism he and he wore that crown most regaliy. A life of labor, of struggle and of conflict has ended in victory, in glory and in peace, SPEECH OF REY. DR, HALE. Rev. E. E, Hale was noxt introduced. How oiten he stood here, said the reverend gen- tleman, and looked down upon a sea of upturned Jaces when they were not unanimous—when they did not agree with him—and is not that the thing | to be remembered to-day that he dared to say the thing which was right. And though he wounded bis nearest friends, his best irieuds and the very people who had loved him and honored mim, he Was pierced to the very heart, but still he did his duty and said his word, and now we are so grate- fui that that word was spoken and that that duty was done, That homage to the right seems to have been what made the man and will make tis meme ory. He said to a young man who repeated it to me, that when there was any new subject of de- bate, when there was any course to be adopted and when there was any policy which seemed strange or dificult, when there were any of those clouds of which we have been speaking, when that truth was to be found and was hard to find, he never took counsel with men, but separated himself from men and went alone and conferred with the highest authority, and wnen he was assured by. the bat bd authority then he always went forward and asked no question more, (Applause). Is not that the history of his lifer I see young men around me who think of him as simply an anti-slavery leader, who have thought the cause of anti-slavery was the centre of nis life; but, he said, in the early part of his life that he looked upon war as the great horror, and regarded this bringing of forces together of man against man as tne thing which was to be avoided and to be put anend to as the stain of civilization, It Was because he hated war; it wag because he believed in peace, and finding organ- ized war in this country, constant war between the whites against a nation of blac! finding that, he committed himseit to the great anti-slavery en- terprise. That seems to me to be wholly illustra. tive of his life and method. Having got hold of the rice tes as General Banks has said, having got hold of the idea, the central idea, this great idealist of our time followed that idea wherever it might lead him, and you know where tt did lead him. It led him to be the belleved leader of Mas- sachusetts, it led him to be the foremost man in tbe Senate of the United States, it led him, as has been so gratefully and so gracefully said by one of the speakers, to be the first iriend of the bondman, the best beloved of those who have led @ race OF 5,000,000 men out into freedom. (Ap- Plause.) And all the time how he did love Massa- chusetts! Massachusetts did not always show her love to him. Boston sometimes was very coid to him; yes, but he did love Massachusetts, A NOTE ON THE DAYS OF NATIONAL TRIAL, Just let me read to you a little note of his writ- ten in what seemed to be the darkest times, just betore they fired on Fort Sumter. A little noie of his! Why, it seems tome as if the dead were Speaking to us as I look over it:— Wasiincton, Deo, 39, 1860, Mr Drar Harr—I doubt whether anything can be done this winter for ancient history. ‘That ot to-day will be too absorbing. while pray keep sachusetts Noble and true, at the head ofthe column where, in character and intelligence, she belongs.

There 1s @ little story which | ncard yesterday, and which | cannot help repeating here, because I see so muny boys, | 80 many young men here who don’t rememper those days of darkness, It was this, tuat be singled out a young man not long ago as il he knew he was going to die, He put lis hand upon his shouider and said, “It is on you, young men that we rely, aud remember young man that | character is everything.” And in this last mouth when, in the midst of one of those pay personal intrigues at Washington, which will nt, except by accident, go into history, @ Senator of the United States—i should tok one of the meaner sort, but I do not know who—when such @ Senatorsaid, “Mr. Sumner, how will this atiect your re-election?” he said, “Wnat? Afect what?

Kemember that, you boys, who have nreescore O1 life belore youyer, remember tnat so long 8 you live, though it be threescore, you can do your duty, (Applause.) Will any man ol us preach such @ Sermon as that to-morrow? (Ap- plause.) VICE PRESIDENT WILSON’S SENTIMENTS, The Mayor then read the iollowing letter from Vice President Wilson, who was unaple to speak :— Naticx, Mass, March 13, 1874, Hon. Aurxanner H, Ricks sete My Deak Six—Your note is received conveying tome the ‘request of the commmiites appoinied w invite speak ers for the meeting in raneuil Hail to-morrow. While I hope to be present and listen to the vo.ces of others, Tam competied to be silent. But no poor words of mine can deepen the altliction and increase the admiration or add to the tame ot the illustrious son of Massachusetts, whose sudden death the nation depiores. We have been friends tor thirty years, and it was iny Binulege, to id in placing hit ‘in the Senate of the Mnited States, and to sit by hus side there for more than elghtwen eventiul years” 1 have seen him in days of trial, disappointment, disaster and dissensions, too—of successiul triumphs—und 1 have witnessed his faith, hope, resolution, courage, and his tireless tabors. In his deuth impartial liberty has lost a devoted champion, the country # true patriot and pure statesman an. republie can; listitutions throughout the world a sympathiaing | and’ undoubting triend. He had lived to see the ex tirpation of slavery and the triumpa of the Umon. Trials, disappointments and. sicaness came. to him, Dut none but intimate trends knew how bravely he bore them. While, however, he greatly eared that he might become incapacitated for labor and furuher usetuliess, he had no dread of death. Less than one | Year ago, White sitting alone with him in fis room, giv. ing him that advice so easy to give and so hurd to take to cease from labor and take t much needed rest—he said to me, with great carnestuess, “It my Works were completed, and my Civil Rights bill passed, no visi.or could enter thatdvor that would be more welcome than death.” The failure to compleve that allotted task was his regret in his last moments and the Civil Rights bill he commended to an honored colleague and friend. Loving hunds will complete that unflaisned work Which the } audent will read, and the historian, who. would write the great events of the last quarter of a century, will not fail to carelully siuds | burial may me not hope And as we bear him to his this last injunction will be ions of his Civil nights bill will be incorporated by the nation into its legislation ; and that the equality before the law, which was so jong the inspiration ot his unfiagging etlorts, may be assured to all without distinction of race or color ? Very reapect- | fully, yours, HENRY WILSON, The resolutions were then unanimously adopted, and the Mayor gave notice that the Hail would be kept open during the remainder of to-day, Sunday, and Monday. Willtam Gray offered an additional resolution to | the effect that the merchants 0! Boston be reqnest- | ed to close their places of business on Monday next | at twelve o’clock, the day of the funeral, and that | the flags on the shipping in the harbor be placed at | halfinast. Tlus resolution was adopted, and the | Ineeting adjourned, DEPARTURE OF THE BODY FROM NEW YORK. Before nine o'clock this morning the slender pro- cession accompanying the reurains of Mr. Sumner | moved up Futh avenue, en route to tie Grand | Central depot. Few people were in the streets, | but such of them as saw the heerse and its accom- | Panying carriages moving slowly along, without | Pomp, parade or music, halted on their way to | business, reverently removed their hats and paid | a tribute of sincere respect to the memory ol the ; dead Senator. A jeature of considerable interest | Was found in the cignt stalwart policemen who ac- companied the body trom Washington; four of | them were white and the others colored men, | What an honorable comment on the dead man’s | career! ‘The race of men ior Whose ireedom be had struggied through almost superhuman difficulties, the race to achieve whose salvation he had dared | all and risked all, now, principally by his efforts, | “redeemed, regenerated and disenthralied,” sent its grateiul representatives to escort nis revered ashes to his native State. At the time when tie | Casket was removed from the parlor in the south- east wing of the Fiith Avenue Hotel a few residents Of the vicinity, who accidentally learned what was going on, congregated about the place. The police, | under Captain Leary, were drawn up in two Tanks along tue sidewalk, Through the passage thus formed the colored men bore the body to the | hearse. The delegations now took their seats in the carriages; the police formed according to directions, and the mournful march was com- menced towards the Forty-second street depot, ‘The 1ollowimg was the order of march:— A Detachment of New York Police. Carriages Gomeatatng Deter tions. and Committees. Washington Police. | Hearse containing the Kemains. | Delegations from the Union League Club. The route was up Fifth avenue to Forty-second street. In front of the Grand Central depot a Jarge crowd bad collected, and who paid the same | Tespectiul attention to the melancholy act which | they were witnessing as had been observed all | along the route. The Stars and Stripes fluttered | in the breeze at half-mast high over the depot, | and the flags of many other edifices in sight sent back an answering sign of sorrow to the depart- | mg mourners, Arriving at the station, the re- | mains were at once removed to the train. the | accompanying delegations had two cars set apart | for them—one, a palace car for their personal u-e, | and the other, ap read mail carriage, for the | accommodation of the vy When the case was | deposited in its place the lid was unscrewed, the | | casket taken out and placed on the top. A pall | | was then thrown over the casket, and the whole | confided to the care of the Washington police. ‘The train moved out of the station at three min- utes past ten o’clock A, M., General Butler, Carl Schurz and a namber of other well-known gentie- | men accompanying the Congressional delegations. ARRIVAL OF. THE REMAINS, The lightning‘express train bearing the remains from New York to Boston was due here at twenty | minutes to six; but, owing to various causes, did not arrive until about hali-past seven. As early as | five o'clock the crowd began to assemble, and by | the time the train arrived thousands and thou- | sands bad gathered in the vicinity of the depot. | Notwithstanding the vast concourse of people | | everything and everybody was orderly and decor- ous, and the platoons of police had very little to | | do in assisting in the enforcement of the arrange- | meuts, which had been periected by the managing committee. All the nd from New York there were demonstrations of profound sorrow at the national loss which had been sustained, and at | such cities as Bridgeport, New Haven, Hartford, | Springfeld and Worcester there were thousands | oO: mourners assembled to pay a momentary and | parting tribute as the train passed by, AT SPRINGFIELD | the Legislative committee took charge of the re- mains and sccompanied them to the State Capitol | on Beacon Hill. Among the crowd assembled at | | the depot here in Boston were numerous city and | State officials and a large number of colored ad- | muirers o1 the deceased statesman. Many o! them | | wore badges of mourning, and the countenances | of ali were characterizea by a melancholy sadness. Immediately the train entered the depot ihe casket was removed from the express car and borne to the hearse in waiting, the muititude rev- | | erentially uncovering as the remains were carried | | by. The various accompanying committees took | carriages, and then the cortége moved slowly and | | sadly to the State House, ail the church bells of | the city tolling @ solemn knell. All the streets | through which the mournful procession passed | were crowded, and upon arriving at the State Cap- itol, it seemed as if the whole city had assembled | there, Beacon Hill and the upper part of the Com- mon were literally one mass of mourning human- | ity, No such imposing spectacle was ever before Witnessed in Boston. WEEPING ON BEACON HILL, As the cofiin was borne up the steps to Doric Hall many were observed to give vent to their feelings in the most profound expressions of heartielt grief. This was parucularly noticeable On the part of the colored peopie, The casket was | tenderly placed in the rotunda, and formally de- | livered over to @ guard of honor, consisting of a | detachment of the colored battalion, in command | of Major Lewis Gaul, which corps will remain on duty, until the funeral ebsequies on Monday after- | noon. Tue crowd lingered tor an hour or more in | the vicinity of the State House, and finally de- parted sorrowlully and reluctantly. ‘The remains were viewed by a few intimate friends and found to present a more natural and life-like appearance than at any time since death ensued, THE FUNERAL OBSEQUIES ON MONDAY. Tt was decided to-day to hold the funeral ob- sequies in King’s Chapel, instead of the State | House, although the remains will lie in state at the Capitol building unti! an hour or two preced- | ing the solemnities in the church, All public and private business tn the city will be suspended dur- ing the day, and the Governor has issued a proc- | Jamation requesting the omMctais of all cities and | towns in the Commonweaith to make provision | for solemnizing the hour of the obsequies by the | tolling of bells and such other services as they may deem appropriate to the occasion. The | members of both branches of the Legislature will goin a body, and no person will be admitted to | the chapel except by ticket. Not over 1,000 tickets will be issued, and the most of these will be absorbed by the Legislature, city government, the Congressional delegation and the various com. mittees and delegations irom other cities deputed | to attend the funeral. A very limited number of tickets will be issued for the admission of ladies. The following 18 the Governor's proclamation :— Whereas, three o'clock of Monday atternoon, the 16th inst., has been determined upon as the hour for the fun- eral of Charles Sumner; whereas, it is believed the people of the Commonwealth, without disunction of will desire to partic jast tribute of re- | m so iong and #0 well: | their exert.ons. | An Adams & Co.’s Express Safe Carried | this morning one of the most daring robberies took towns throughout the Commonwealth to make provision for the solemnization of the hour named by the tolling of bells and such othe Proprinte to the oe ek wervices as they may deem ap- OBITUARY. Count Brunnow. Countess Brunow, wife of His £xcellency Count Philip de Brunow, Russian Ambassador st the Court of Great Britain, died in London yesterday lar 1 the English metropolis since ber tirst ac- quaintance with the people many years since, when she accompanied ber husiand to Lonaon, Her receptions and iestive entertainments were among the most elegant of the season, and the jashionable assemblages of the present moment have been greatly interrupted by the sadden ad- vent of ber late and fatal illness, Dowager Duchess of Richmond. A telegram from London, under date of yester- day, 14th inst., announces the death of the Dow- ager Duchess of Richmond, mother of His Grace Charles Gordon Lennox, the present and sixth duke of that title. She was married to the late Duke of R chmond—who died 21st October, 1860— on the loth of April, 1817, Her maiden name was Caroline Paget, She was the eldest daughter and fourth child of Henry William Paget, Earl of Ux- bridge, who was created Marquis of Anglesey on the 4th of July, 1815, The Dowager lady was greatly esteemed ior her charity and good works. Mme. Cornelis de Witt. M. Guizot, on the 28th of February, sustained a gad bereavement in tie death o/ his daugbter, Mme. Cornelis de Witt. This highly respected @ reputation jor herself as @ writer of taies for presided over we salon of her distinguished ther in Paris, Captain Nichol, of the Anglo-Ashantee Army. A letter from Quarman, on the march to Coo- Massie, under date of January 30, supplies the fol- lowing details of tne manner of the death of Captain Nichol, of the English Army:—‘‘The main recon- noissance to the village cost us the life of a most hard-working officer, Captain Nichol, of Russeil’s regiment, He was with tne Animaboa company in advance of the sailors, He arrived a® the vil- lage, and could he have made a@ rush atit would have captured the King of Adansee and the ovher chieis known to be there. He was, however, ham- pered by the orders not to fire unless fired at, and, consequently, he had to commence a pala Finding the palaver came to nothing, Cap- tain Nichol ordered his men to advance, and the Animaboes carried the village at a rush, foilowed closely by the sailors. Some of the natives, as they ran out of their houses, took shots at the men, and poor Nichol jell, suot through the heart. The news o! poor Nichol'’s deati was received with great regret by his comrades of Rus- sell’s regiment, Captain Nichol was aujutant of a Hampshire regiment o1 militia, aud caine out at supporting great fatigue, His spare moments he spent in colleciing insects and other specimens, and he was regarded by the na- lves as the “great fetish man’ of the regiment. He was always cheerful and ready to do anything to oblige. Of @ soldier lamily, his futher was for some years Adjutant General of Bengal, and bis only paternal uncle, Genera! Nichoi, a ’eninsular hero, He was every inch a ‘soldier, Ha Jomed, at an early age, the ‘Thurteentn | Tegiment, as it was on its way down) irom Jellalabad, and remained in that regiment for some years, About twelve Months beiore the | Crimean War be and his brother, of Her Majesty's | Sixty-eighth foot, sold out; but when tue war broke out the two brothers weut in the little steam yacht | The Army and Navy, to offer what help tiey could to thew country. They were much praised tor First employed a6 a despaten | boat to the British Army, and aiterwards to the Frenca, they gained praise from ali parties, and | although tue expedition was a monetary loss, yet | tuey had the sausiaction of doing ail in their power | to alleviate the sufterings of the English troops in | that dreadful winter. On returning home Captain | Nicnol obtained the Adjutancy to the Hants mulitia, | and public orders have declared how admirably he | | Wained that regiment. It was his great desire to | | Get back into the regular army, and thinking he | Baw a way by his joining the expedition to Ashantee, he offered his services to Sir Garnet | Wolseley. The latter saw he was the sort of man | he needed, and he accepted his services. Captain | Nicol had had experience im dealing with Indians | in Vancouver Isiaud and Central America, and | these Rep ererves he brought to bear on soutn | Africa, Very abstemious in his habits, ho was a | | man deeply earnest, though reticent, a.religious | feeings aud habits. { Judge Hiram Gardner. Hiram Gardner, who nas held many station of | honor ana trust in this State, among them thse of Canal Commissioner, County Judge and Surio- gate of Niagara county, died yesterday at his reil- dence, at the end of asudden illness. Judge Garé- ner was educated as a lawyer and early settled ia Lockport, where he took @ leading position at the Bar, holding it with conspicuous ability and purity during a long and honorable life. He was origi- nally & democrat, but upon the organization of the free soil party in 1848, joined that movement and was ever afterward a determined foe of slavery and an enthusiastic supporter of the Tepublican party, which irequentiy rewarded | him with hign office. In the practice of his pro- fession ana in otuer pursuits he acquired one of the handsomest properties in Lockport. Genial, with a fine vein of poetic religioi—strange, cer- tainly, to the lives of the majority of American | Politicians—he was well known and cordially wel- | comed in all parts of Western New York, He was at bis death one of the few public men of the State of the time and kindly character of Thurlow Weed, with whom, however, he did not always re- tain political auiations, Western New York still | ‘has many survivors of his stamp, but one by one “{mpartial fate” ts bearing them to other worlds. DARING BURGLARY, Off—$10,000 Taken. New Haven, Conn., March 14, 1874, Between the hours of twelve and three o'clock place in this city, which, when the number Vigilance and efficiency of the police force here is considered, is matter of surprise to everybody. | During the hours named burglars forced an entrance through a rear door in Adams & Co.'s express office, on Chapel street, descended to the basement, went up a pair of stairs at the centre of fhe building, passed: through a door into the main office, and, going behind the counter, took an iron sale, Such as 18 used by the company for tramic on railroad trains, opened the Chapel sireet door, and, passing out, lugged their booty into Artizan street, where they pried the safe open, and, SECURING THE TREASURE, made of. The value of the contents of the safe is as foliows:—$1,000, in iractional currency, belong- ing to one of the city banks; two draits, of $40 anu $60 respectively, the money on which had been collected; five unpaid coupons of Shore Line Rail- | road bonds, worth $35; the balance, about $9,000, being in collection notes, on which, fortunately, payment had been stopped. The first intimation of the robvery was the finding of the safe by the police in Artizan street. ‘Ihe saie was not blown open with powder, but was torced with chisels and ‘jimmuies.” The police and the com- | pany’s agents are actively at work trying to ferret out the perpetrators, but at this writing no clew has been obtained, BROOKLYN NAVY YARD, Virtual Suspension of Work—Com- plaints of t Unemployed=The Con- necticut Election, During the past week 300 men have been dis- charged from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, which | amounts virtually to a suspension of the work. Indeed, & prominent officer said the other day that, | in consequence of the failure of the House com- mittee to concur in the Senate amendments to the Naval Appropriation bill, the yard would have to be closed entirely by the ist ot April, Shouid this end be accomplished through the exercise of pre- teuded economy it will be done for the first time in the history of the Brooklyn yard, In the course of the next ten days itis expected that six of the war ships which have been exercising in the vi- cinity of Key West will arrive at vhis station and | ‘will go out of commission, The crews will be com- fay to dismantle their ships. This latter work as been heretolore done by the yard workmen. The discharged employés naturally compiain bitterly of the action of the government, which has turned a déaf ear to their dire necessities throughout the winter by failing to give them SM ia when there re- mains plenty to be done, The Florida has been taken to the Daval station at New London, and the Minnesota will be towed to the same place on Tuesday. itis currently orted that these ves~ sels will be swarmed with Connecticut voters in order to induce them to give strength to the ad- ministration party in the approaching election in the Nutmeg State, The result oi the New Hamp- shire election has not been such as to guarantee success to the party in power, "TO BE HANGED, POUGHKBEPSI®, N.
