THE PINAL TRIBUTE. Services Over the Remains of the Vice President at Washington. THE FUNERAL DISCOURSE: Manifestations of Sorrow and Re- spect in Baltimore. (N STATE IN INDEPENDENCE HALL Preparations for the Recep- tion in New York. MASSACHUSETTS AWAITING HER SON, Wasuincton, Noy. 26, 1875, The funeral of Vice President Wilson took place in the Senate Chamber at half-past ten o'clock this morning, Although the weather was very unfavorable the crowd (n attendance was great, and many were unable to gain admission to the building after ten o'clock. The Senate chamber was heavily draped in mourning and !m- mediately in front of the Vice President's table the tatafalqué was placed. The desks having all been ro- moved from the Chamber seats were arranged on the ‘door for the President and Cabinet, the judges of the Supreme Court, the members of the Senate and House Representatives and other prominent persons. At » quarter-past ten o'clock the Judges of the Supreme Vourt of the United States, headed by Mr. Middleton, their clerk, entered, and were assigned to the front row of seats on the right of the Vice President’s desk. REMOVAL OF THE nODY. At twenty-two minutes past ter the body was taken “from the Rotunda to the Senate Chamber, preceded by Rey. Dr. Sunderland, Chaplain of the Senate; Sergeant- at-Arms French, the Committee of Arrangements and the pall-bearors, and followed by the relatives of the @eceased, among them his brother, Mr. Colbath, and wife, The casket was carried by twelve soldiers, and, 48 soon as it was placed on the catafalque prepared for its reception, two privates of the, Marine Corps, in full uniform, took a position at the head and foot, and stood “at rest’ throughout the entire service. Numerous trosses and crowns of white flowers were placed on the toffin, having been sent to the Capitol this morning by farious friends of the deceased. Ax the body was brought into the Chamber all persons on the floor arose, and Rey. Dr. Sunderland read the passage:— “Lord make me to know thy ways, &c.,’’ and other se- Jections from the Scriptures. Soon after the casket was placed on the catafalque; the President, accompanied by Secretaries Fish, Bristow, Belknap, Robeson and Chandler, entered, and were assigned to the front row of seats, opposite to those occupied by the Judges of the Supreme Court, all of whom were clad in their robes of office. The Committee of Arrange- ments and tho Massachusetts committee occupied feats immediately in the rear of the Supremo Court Judges, and behind them were seated nearly all the members of the diplomatic corps, headed | by Sir Edward Thornton, who is the Dean, or oldest | continuous member of the corps, and behind them were citizens of Massachusetts, temporarily residing in Washington, On the other side of the Chamber tho relatives of the deceased were seated in the rear of the President and Cabinet, and next to them the members of the Senate and House of Representatives. Among others on tho floor of the Senate were Adjutant General Townsend, Quartermaster General Ingalls, Judge Advocate General Holt and Assistant fudge Advocate General Dunn, Generals Pelouse, Van Viet, Meyer, Barnes, Humphreys and other army offi. cers; ex Attorney General Williams, Commissioner Pratt, Frederick Douglass, and many others of promi- mence. THE VACANT CHAIR of tho Vico President was heavily draped in mourning. Mr. T, W. Ferry, of Michigan, President pro tempore | of the Senate, occupied a seat at the Clerk’s desk. The officers of the Senate and the Committee of Arrange- ments wore white silk sashes, held in place on-the left shoulder by a black and white rosette. In spite of the very inclement weather a larger part of the audience was composed of ladies! Among those | had hostility only against that crime against man and | | in the diplomatic gallery were Mrs, Grant, Mrs. Fish, | Mrs, Belknap and Mrs. Bristow. All things being in readiness Mr. Ferry announced | that appropriate wervices would now be performod, | Rev. Dr, Sunderland, standing at the Clerk’s desk, then read some more brief aclections of Scripture, after which Rev. Dr. J. E. Rankin delivered the following | discourse :— | DR RANKIN’S ADDRESS. Revelation, xiv. 13—‘‘And I heardu voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, | that they may rest from their labors; and their works , do follow them.” | All that is mortal of Henry Wilson, of Maesachusetts, | Vice President of the United States, lies in death’s stillness before us. The nation pauses in her grief be- | side his open grave. Her great men, her chief cap- tains, her mighty men, every bondman that was and | every freeman that’ is bring some tribute of | honor and of love to lay upon his dust | The nation’s emblem, which his twenty years | of public service contributed go much to leave fall high | advanced, ay, to cleanse of every stigma and shame in | the world’s eye, and in the wye of posterity, droops tenderly above ‘him. In this honored place, whose chief seat is now vacant—a place which bas so often | echoed to his voice, und where he has always stood the | untlinching, the uncorruptible defender of human dig- | pity and human rights—we, the highest and the low- | Nest, his associates in government, his fellow-citizen: heirs alike of the heritage of freedom which he has do} s0 much to transmit unimpaired, replenished with new | life, gather for a brief solemnity. It 16 fitting that our | words be few. Henry Wilson was THE PRODUCT OF NRW ENGLAND. If there was iron in his blood, if there wys strength | in his muscle, if there was backbone in Jfs frame, he | owed it in part to the tuition of that ster and rocky soil, to the cold and inclement, the stern and serious aspects of bis native New England. Aye, more than this, Henry Wilson was the product of the New Eng- | Jand idea—that man is man and nothing can bé greater, | and that when God made man in His own image He pose him to have dominion, first over himseif and | hen over just as vast an empire among men as, under | God, he could subject to himself, Henry Wilson was Ambitious. Letus thank God that he waa. When, on the 15th day of February, 1812, he first saw the ight of mortal life he was the heir of three generations of pov- | erty, the descendant of three generations of ancestors who had hardly kept soul and body together, who in that | rough and rugged half wilderness of his native New | Hampshire, had, one after the other, fought a losing | Dattie with hte unt the grave covered them. Ap. | pence toa small farmer at ten years of age and | ing the hard knocks and sore deprivations of a chore | boy at that period when more favored young men aro fursed and pampered and crammed in schoo! and in col- fege, studying the rudiments of his native tongue and the history and politics of his native country by the light of pine knots and by the midnight flastios of smouldering backlogs, he needed all his ambition. Henry Wileon was ambitious, but his ambition was am- bition to serve, to bear burdens, to assume responsibili- ties, to perform labors, to stand in the front rank, not Bo much that he might lead as that he might take tho bard knocks of a der; that he might somewhere and at some time do the country yeoman service like that of Washington and Jefferson und Adams, that he | might enter into the labors of these men, into whose spirit he had been baptized, as he worked that | Stertle Yankee farm, and during ail that dreary ap- | prenticeahip of his boyhood and youth, daring ail howe self-denying wight hours of toll, and later in hfe M Natick, in the Stato of his adoption, under the shadow of Bunker Hill monument, and in close neigh- | Yorhood to Lexington and Concord, where he was | sbinking out his thoughts to the music of the hammer | apon the lapstone; when he was meusuring his sword | ai in debate with the merchants and lawyers of Boston he was girding himself, less for leadership, lese for digni- Ves and honors than for lifelong service, He songht dlaces of service and always served in them. It was # him as though he had caught this counsel from his | tommunings with the revolutionary period, as though | the genius of his native land had said to him in the Jream of his boyhood, “Whosoever of you will be the thiefest shall be servant of all;”* as though he had then | letermined im his inmost soul that by that sign he | vould conquer. AN RSTIMATE OF THR DECEASED. In making up our estimate of this man’s character, md the vast, tho prodigious achievements of hie life, tt us romember that when Charles Sumner, the Che: miier Bayard of Freedom, whose white colors were Aways seon in the thickest of tho fight, and stained, 0, with his own blood, was studying Classics in the | Yoston Latin School and walking beneath the favored | hades of Harvard, a lad to whose moral’intuitions as {free soil advocate he waa to owe his first seat in the fnited States Senate and who was to become his rorthy- associate and compeer in the foremost body of he nation, was earning bis livelihood by day and sior ug his mind by night on a poverty-stricken farm in few Hampshife; and that when Charles Sumner was Atting at the feet of auch men as Judge Story, was in ' eternal truth of God. NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY; NOVEMBER 27, 1875~-WITH SUPPLEMEN«. standing, and all seemed to be deeply impressed with | mento arrange the details of the reception o wm. ine Cambriage Law School as a scholor and teacher, was travelling and residing or ager when he was drinks fo at the fountain heads, both at home and abr the principles of international and constitutiot law, Henry. Wilson was working in the shoemakin, p mt: Natick until midnight, yog in ing societies made up of his fellow workmen, and slowly lifting himself up until he became the man whom Massachusetts delighted to honor and foremost in the great cause of human freedom. It is beautiful to see how these two great men of Massachusetts, born one year apart, starting 60 differently in life, educated so differently, supported and complemented each other. The 01 of books, the other a mun of men; the one an of ideas, the other aman of facts; the one a man of the few, the other aman of the many; the ‘one sometimes almost losing himself in his distance of advance before the | nation, the other always keeping step with the grand movement of the people, going forward only so fast as his true, popular instinct taught him that the people were ready to follow, rociety, was the New England idea incarnated, repre- sented on this floor, “ Henry Wilson bad a cause in which he believed. He believed in it as the cause of man; aye! he believed in it also as the cause of God, who had become incarnate and walked among men that He might impress it upon tus und show the value of man, that He might illustrate His own golden rule. In fact, Mr, Wilson never could advocate anything in which he did not believe. He was not of that facile make that he could put on the sem- | Dlance of sincerity and earnestness. At the basis of all his action must ve sincere moral conviction, He never could take what he considered the wrong side of a ques- tion, even in the Natick Debating Society. He would always buy off or beg off and get upon what he re- signee the right side, and then he was himself; then @ was & host. He never was afraid of being alone ifhe | was on the right side, lines of the poet Faber © Thrice vlest is he to whom is given The instinct that can tell ‘That God is in tke Geld when He ‘ Is most invisible, ; When, as a delegate from Massachusetts to’ the Na- tional Convention at Philadelphia in 1848, he repudiated the action of the Convention, standing, as he did, al- most alone, resisting the complimentary attentions of such a man as Daniel Webster and the other great leaders of the whig party, these wore his words to his constituents:—''No hope of political reward, no fear of ridicule or denunctation, will deter me from acting up to my convictions of duty!” Whig they knew and democrat they knew, but what of this? Here was a new factor in polities, Convictions of duty! Mr. Wik son bad espoused the cause of freeiom from convic- He knew the meaning Of these tions of daty, and from that moment his pathway to | the eminence he secured, and from which he stepped off into the unsecn world, was just ag sure as there 18 a God in heaven or that He has said, ‘Them that honor me I shall honor.” It is customary to speak of the services which great men render a sacred cause, There is another aspect of this subject. No great man ever heips a groat cause so much as that great cause develops, elevates and ennobles him. It was the peculiar good fortune of Henry Wilson that he had the moral instinct to esponse the cause of freedom; to send down the roots of his macaring manhood into such strong and generous soil; and all the buffetings and storms of the conflict which he encountered only made him stronger and more heroic, He did not espouse a cause to ride ‘on it into power. He took it for better or worse, to ride with or fall with it, and when this cause rose he rose upon its crest, and that partly because the cause itself and his consecration to it had made him worthy to rise, had made him one of its truest and best ex- ponents and champions, and if other men have fai'ed under the severe tests which lie withstood it may bo paruly because they were never under tuition to the same holy cause they were serving themselves, If you tell me that Henry Wilson devoted bis life to the cause of human freedom, that there was no danger ho would not dare, no toil be would not endure, no self- sacrifice he would not make to advance it, to make its triumphs permanent, then yowhave explained to me the phenomenon of sucha man. If he advanced the cause the cause also advanced him, No man can devote his life time to the study and advocacy of such principles as he at the foundation of our free institu- Vions without being ennobled. It was what made the giants of @ 100 years ago. It is what made the giants of our own time. Mr. Wilson had remarkable native endowments, pro- digious energy, mdustry and persistence, the’ pr foundest conception of the sacredness and vaiue of free institutions, a prophetio Instinct as to their ultimate triumph, but he was all the time breathing the atmos- phere and under tuition to the principles of the causo whieh he advocated, and that gave aglow and glory to his character and bis life, as when the morning sun pe the uplifted dome of this structure within which e served and where he surrendered his spirit back to the God who gave it, There is a sense in which It is not irreverant to gay that he was inspired by that cause, It was inspiration that he was permitted to fill up that which was bebind in the labors of those who had gone betore him. This gave him patience under provocation; a spirit of forgiveness and torbear- ance toward those arrayed against him, com- posure and serenity alike tn defeat and suc- cess. He knew that the cause was moving on in sunshine and cloud; whether in debate upoh this iloor, whether upon the battle fields, where our soldiers were using other argument, he saw the pillar of cloud by day and of fire by night, always leading on the hosts of freedom, moving as they moved, pausing as they paused; never forsaking them. [t was no after- thought with him; it was no measure of political ex- pediency which led him in 1875 to travel over portions of the South, giving utterance to sentiments of kind- ness to those who had lately been in arms against the Union. On the lst of May, 1862, when the guns which bad been ported at Fort Sumver, and which had driven back our torces upon this city, after tho first battle of Ball Run, were still making the ears of this nation tingle with» shame,’ Mr, Wilson had said upon this ri After the confict, when the din of humane and kindly and charitable ngs of the country and of the world will require us to deal gently-with the masses of the people who are enguged in the rebellion. He had no hostility against men tn that conflick He ttle has ceased, the that sin against man's Creator with which the Judge of all the earth was Lyons ee the nations upon the battle fleld, and when God had given judgment he was content. For the enemies of his country were also men, and they were not the first of whom it might be said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’ WIS CHRISTIAN CHARACTER. It was natural that Henry Wilson should become a Christian the very moment he gave his careful atten tion to the claims of the Lord Jesus as a teacher and a Saviour, It was like him, when he became a Christian, to coniess it before men. He never suppressed bis convictions of duty. He had never been wanting in the outward moralities of life. He was a pure-minded husband, a tender father, a dutiful son, a firm and untiring advocate ot the tomperance cause, a man strictly straightforward and upright jn all his dealings with me. But he saw that newher upon the basis of public service nor of private worth could he stand before Him with whom we have todo, in 1868 he therefore made a public confession of his repentance for sin and faith in the Lord Jesus and uuited with the Congregational church in Natick. Confronted with eternity all mon are equal, Just as some ot the heavenly bodies are so remove froin earth as to annihilate their distance from each other, | The same truth which comforted and reassured those bumble fishermen of Galilee soothed and sustained and cheered this dying statesman of the American Repub- lic, For a thousand years of eartaly change and progress in institutions, in custom, in manners have not changed the heart of man, have not changed the Tt was the sagacious instinct, the moral genius of Napoleon the First which led bim to say, “Christ proved himself to be the Son of the Eter- nal by His disregard of time, All His doctrines signify one and the same thing;” and so when any man with the instinct of Immortality string within him reaches the verge where he looks off upon eternity, when no longer “far inland,” but upon the very brink, “his soul has sight of that immortal sea which brought him hither,” he leaves al) his earthly peculiarity, all thas | which’bas distinguished him from the rest of bis race, the elevation to which the men of his generation have lifted him, the isolation of honor to which he has been consecrated, thé loveliness of the great, and becomes only poorly man again, with the same frailties, the sume anxieties, the same affectionate yearnings and tenderness, with the same need of a divine comforter as the humblest and most unknown of his fellow mor- tals, It cannot bo said of Henry Wilson that he died and made no sign; that living in the nineteenth century, which dates from the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, living when the power of His life and death bas been felt by every nation on the face of the earth, He has gone into imstitutions, He has gone into laws; ‘has made even tyranny and oppression endurable; bas clothed the horrors of war with something of genticness and humanity; has lifted the nations into a kind of universal brotherhood, 80 that the chief rulers of the earth have become nursing fathers and nursing mothers In His kingdom, and the prediction of the prophet that men shall learn war no more so seems less like @ distempered dream, Tsay it cannot be said of Henry Wilson that, living at such a period, he died like ‘a pagan suckled in a creed outworn;” he died as though life and immortality had never been brought to light in the Gospel. It is only a few daye since, alas!—bat we aro sepa- rated from itus if by centuries—that the frat few verses of the fourteenth chapter of John were read at his bedside When the reading reached the third verse, “And If I go and prepare a place for you, I will comoe'again and receive you unto myself,” ho Inter. rupted with a kindly eye, a cheek aglow:—What clearer revelution,” said he, “could there be of a here- after; of heaven as a place of the continued personality of our being; of the power to recog- nize those whom we have known in this world! And how could such a being as the Lord Jesus utter ‘h words uniess they are true? It it Impossible to believe Him an impostor, It is equally tmpossible to believe that He would raise in us expectations never to be realized." % Ofcourse Ido not undertake to give the exact lan- guage of this remark, nor can I give you any concep- tion of the beauty and thrilling power of what he said. I bare 4 know this, that when we rose from the prayer which followed the faces of all of us wore bathed in tears. And when that precious memento of his last hours came into%ny hands, the volumo «ept under bis Pillow and read and marked at intervals, day and ni; while he knew not at what hour bis Lord would come, | and I saw these pencilled stanzas ;— ‘The eye thas ahate in » h wil open the next in Ad 2b ‘The welcome will sound in the bi b Ere the farewoll is busied in this? WOTd We pass from the elasp of mourni To the arms of the loved and (pad oer And thowe amiling faces will greet as there Which, on earth we've valued most. And when I turned to the close of the volume and found pasted upon flyleaves photographs of his sainted wife and his soldier boy\ who died, then I thought L understood the personal application of his words, Mr. Wilson at first hoped to live, expected to live, He told mathe dav of his rat attack, “There is one In these two men, so unhke, | and yet 80 representative of the extremes in American | I want to finish before 1 go," without tohhis “History of prog fm and Fall of the Great Rebellion,” a treatise which of itself is enough for the life work of any single man. id he have premonition that hi pect to be disappointed? Was it for this reason that th day before his death he was closeted for hours with literary friend? and did he arise at midnight, open that little volume, and read, But after all these duties I hi done. Muse T, in pot sown, And trust In Heaven, through Jesus’ Ulood atone? Through Jesus” blood alone! Thinking that perbaps he already heard the footfull of his coming Loi hinking of His own words, | “Watch ye, therefore, for ye know not when the Master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning, lest, coming suddenly, he finds you sleeping.” Having long ago settled all questions relating to that eternity to which he was so near; accepting anew the testimony of the Infallible Witness respecting it; tender, forgiving, grateful toward man ; wondering at the hay in which God bad led him; his spirit flooded | with a kind of celestial summer, keeping vigil, as 1t were, upon the very scene of bis greatest service and greatest triumphs, ministered to by the affectionate and faithful servants of the nation herself, as though his sickness could be of no private interpretation; his pathway to | the tomb literally and figuratively sprinkled with flow- ers; the very atiposphere of the whole naticn throb- bing with messages of solicitude and lo the press kiving united testimony to his worth—thus died Henry — of Massachusetts, Vice President of the United tates. It remains only reverently to bear this sacred dust back to the Lape Bok the old Commonwealth of Massa- chusotts, the soil which has already during the first century of our national life gathered to itself the dust of the elder and later Adams, the dust of a Webster, an Everett, a Suniner—names that will never die. Into such company, and worthy of it, Henry Wilson shall enter unchallenged, [t was his to sce with unbroken truth, God-man, that which the great statesman of Mansfield dreaded ‘so much to look on with his dying eye, one portion of this Union in arms against another. But it was his also to participate in the extermination of that evil which had so taxed and defeated the ingenuity and statesmanship of ost minds before him. — It was his also to asvist in bringing order out of the chaos of civil war, in securing their birthright to a nation new | born, and, though passing through such troublous times, it was his also to die impeace, with not one feel- ing of resentment toward the living or the dead. Others may be left to determine whether such a man ‘was a great man and how great he was. It is enough for us to thank the God of our fathers that he still raises up such men, and to belicve that so long as they continue the Republic will be safe. YRAYER OP DR, SUNDERLAND, At the conclusion of Rev. Dr. Rankin’s discourse Rev. Dr} Sunderiand, chaplain of the Senate, offered prayer, in which he alluded to the deceased as the humble believer, the faithful citizen, the earnest man, the patriot, the philanthropist and tho Christian. He thanked Divine Providence for all that He enabled him to accomplish, and for that nobie’ perseverance an@ en- durance through which he won so many triumphs. He thanked God that the Vice President died tn faith and hope, that he died !n peace with God and man; a child of God, an heir expectant of the coming resurrec- tion and the glorious immortality of tho blessed, He prayed that Almighty God would remember the relatives and kindred of the deceased and be their solace and stay tn this, the dark day of their life. He invoked the divine blessing upon our rulers and all others in authority over us, from the greatest to the least, that they might have strength and be able after this life to come to that felicity which is with God. He besought our Heavenly Father to remember this na- tion, whose heart was touched with grief, whose ban- ners drooped in sadness; and in conclusion asked the divine blessing apon those who would go hence to bear the sacred ashes of tho dead to their last repose. Dr, Sunderiand then pronounced the benediction and Mr. Ferry directed the Sergeant-at-Arms to announce the order of the procession, This was done by Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms Christie, and tho occupants of the | chamber filed out as they were successively desig- nated. THR casKer, in the meantime, was closed, and most of the flowers which had adorned it were distributed among the per- | sonal friends of the deceased. The cortége left the Senate wing by the main entrance, and the procession was formed according to the order nereto- fore telegraphed. THE MILITARY EscoRT, under the command of Brevet Major General W. H. Emory, consisted of the full battalion of Umated States marines stationed in this city, headed by the Marine Band; the First regiment of the District militia, under the command of Colonel Robert J. Fleming, and tho First battalion of colored troops, under the command of Major Charles B. Fisher. Tho staff officers of the District military and Colonel Pontiers and three other officers of the Fifth Maryland regiment also formed part of the military escort. THE FUNERAL CAR was claborately trimmed with black cloth and surmounted by five heavy plumes of the samo color. It was drawn dy six white horses, caparisoned in black, each one led by # groom in mourning. Surrounding this car was a guard of honor, consisting of three non-commissioned officers and ten privates, under the command of George B. Haycock. Twelve soldiers from the Signal Service corps were de- tailed as body bearers, Following after the carriages ‘came, on foot, the members of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Massachusetts State Republican Associa- tion and the Maryland Republican Association of this city and @ considerable number of white and colored citizens, A THE RoUTR ofthe procession was along Delaware avenue to C street, north on C street to Indiana avenue, Indiana avenue to D stroet, north on D street to Pennsylvania avenue, Pennsylvania avenue to Sixth street, west to the Balti- more and Potomac depot, MARKS OF RESPECT, The sidewalks were thronged with spectators, who stood patiently in the cold, drizzling rain, awaiting the passage of the procession, and during its passage guns were fired by @ battery of United States artillery sta- tioned in Armory square, and the bells of churches and engine houses were tolled throughout the city. The chimes of the Metropolitan church also rang out | funeral tunes. At the depot « special train was in waiting, consisting of a car arranged for trans- portation of the casket and the bodyguard Colonel Scott’s private car for the Massachusetts Committee, anda Pullman car for others accompanying the remains, All these were appropriately draped with mourning. When the procession reached the statfon the President and Cabinet, the pall-bearers, Com. mittee of Arrangements, Supreme Court and Massa chusetts Committee followed (he casket to the car, the guard of honor presenting arms as the remains and the President and Cabinet passed. The casket having been placed on the platform Senator Thurman, chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, addressing the Massa- chusetts Committee, said:— CONSIGNED TO MASSACHUBETTS. GENTLEMEN ov Massacnusetts—The funeral cere. monies at the national Capitol over the remains of the late Vice President are bere concluded, and we now de- liver them to you to convey them to the State of which he was a citizen and by which he was so much honored and which he so well served. In the Lg lot a of your mournful duties you will carry with you the sym- pathy of the nation abd everywhere mcei with sincero marks of respect for the illustrious dead. Colonel Wyman, in reply, said they accepted the precious trust confided to them and would convey the Temains to Massachusetts, where they would’ receive all the honor that love and affection conld bestow. He added au expression of his thanks for the admirable arrangements which had been perfected and for the courtesies extended to himself and his colleagues, Dr. Rankin then pronounced a benediction, ON THE TRAIN, : The body was then placed in the car, and the follow- ing gentlemen, who will accompany it to Massachusetts, | took places in’ the train:—Colonel Edward Wyman, aid | to Governor Gaston; Colonel George H. Campbell,’ pri- Yate secretary of the Governor; Hon. Seth Turner, Hon. K. H.

Barrmonx, Nov. 26, 1875. The faneral train, bearing the remains of the late Vice President Wilson, arrived at the Union depot, in Charles street, at en minutes past three o'clock | P. M.

All is not couleur de rose in the revival movement here, There are cortain serious blemishes which the peoplé aro calling attention to, and those who really wish thé movement success cau no longer ignore them, It is a journahst’s duty frankly ‘to state them, Thé manner in which the Moody and Sankey meetings are being conducted has become @ matter of very general complaint, and there is a rapidly growing sentiment of annoyance among the community at thé bad management of the self-appointed “revival coma mittee,” Unless 8 more courteous and accommodating spirit is very shortly manifested by these gentlemen thore is very great danger that the object they profesd to seek will be defeated, and the great body of the an< converted be brought into a condition of dise gust at the conduct of these professing Chris« Vans.

Mr, Moody bimsetf verbaily proclaimed the samo! ours, expressly stating that the doors will remain ope until half-past seven o'clock P.M. and will then be! closed as the services begin.
