é IN MEMORIAM. The Historical Society’s Commemoration of William Cullen Bryant. “ABOVE THE CLAMOR OF 8! LPISH AMBITION.” George William Curtis Pays a Glowing Tribute to the Departed Poet. TO PRESIDE) Pe Irs lie acta = RECEPTION T HAYES. President Hayes, with Mrs. Hayes and several members of the Cabinet, attended the Bryant Commemoration at the Academy of Musie in this sity last night, and later was tendered a reception at tho house of the President of the Historical Society, Mr. Frederic Depeyster, No. 76 University place. Atew minutes before eight o'clock, the President, reached the Academy of Music. Secretary Evarts, Attorney General Devens and Genera) W. T. Sherman, with the President aud Mys, Hayes, composed the party. They were received im the lobby and con- ducted to their box by Mr. Benjamin H. Fields and a uumber of prominent citizens. The band played “Hail! Columbia” as the Chief Magistrate seated Limself in an upper proscenium box on the left of the stage, and the members of the Historical Society filed upon the stage and occupied the 150 chairs placed tor their reception. President De- peyster headed the line, followed closely by the mem- ‘bers of the Cabinct already named and Mr. George William Curtis, the orator of the evening, who was to discourse ou ‘The Life, Character and Writings of William Cullen Bryant.” When these gentlemen were seated they found themselves confronting an audi- dience of remarkable intelligence and refinement which filled the building even to the topmost seats of the amphitheatre. It was by no means a demon- nirative audience, for the applause bestowed upon the efforts of Mr. Curtis was not oyer- enthusiastic, and although many opera glasses were levelled at the, President's box, no sign of welcome or recognition was made. In the corresponding box to the President’s on the opposite side of the stage sat Samuel J. Tilden wud Parke Godwin. A casual glance over the stage and the body of the house took in the faces of Peter Cooper, D. 8. Babcock, Thurlow Weed, Bishop Potter, Chief Justice Daly, Dis- trict Attorney Phelps, Rev. Dr. R. 8. Storrs and Rev. Dr. Noah Hunt Schenck, both of Brooklyn; John W. Hunter, of the same city; E. D. Morgan, Judge Hilton, Rev. Howard Crosby, D. D.; Erastus Brooks, Kev, John Hall, Cyrus W. Fieid, ex-Governor Hoffman, Whitelaw Reid and scores of others equally well known citizens. At the conclusion of Mr. Curtis’ oration a vote of thanks to him was eloquently proposed by President ¥. P. Barnard, of Columbia ColleZe, and being sec. ended by Dr. Storrs in a few well chosen words was heartily carried. MR, CURTIS’ ADDRESS. Mr. Curtis delivered a lengthy and elaborate ad, Gress, of which the following is a synopsis: — ‘This great and distinguished assembly is in itself an imposing ttbute to the memory of 2n illustrious man. But even more impressive than this presence of yenius and distinction, of character and intelli- ence, is the absence of one citizen, that venera- Ble figure which had come to represent in this comumunity all the etvie graces and virtues, and from whose temperate lips on every occasion of literary and patriotic commemoration, of political emergency or of public appeal we have been acc tome to hear the fitting words of counsel, of encour. agement and consolation. When Cooper died the Peatless city to hear Bryant's words of praise ay friendship. When Irving followed Cooper all hearts. turned to Bryant, and it was before this society and in is place that he told the story of Irving’s life. Now Bryant has followed Cooper and Irving, the last of that early triumvirate of American literature, not less renowned than the great triamvirate of American politics, and he whose lite berin before the century leaves behind but one ‘of hia early literary contenporaries—the venerable poet Dana, friend of Bryant's youth, at an age pro- Tongea beyond four score and ten, An old aff serene and bright, ‘And lovely as a Lapland nigitt. The editor who published ““Thanatopsis” sixty-one years ago has seen its author join the innumerable oatavan and lie down to pleasant dreams. A patriarch of our literature, and im a permanent sense the oldest of our poets, a scholar familiar with many languages und literatures, finely sensitive to the influence of na- ‘ture and familiar with trees and birds and flowers, he was especially fitted, it might be thought, for scholarly seclusion and the delights of the strict literary life. Iu the active American life of this century he bore jhis full part, never quailing, never doubting, giving und taking blows; stern often, reserved, unsparing, Dut panoplied ever in an armor which no fabled Howeric » wore, beyond the art of Vulean to forge or the dark waters ot the Styx to charm, the impenetrable armor of moral principle. MR. GRYANT'S LOFTY: PATRIOTISM. His lofty personality rose above the clamor of self- ish ambition and in his life he reconciled, both in fact and to the popular imagination, the seeming in- compatibility of literary taste and accomplishment and superiority with constant political activity. So tises the alsin! g dome of Mont Blane above the clus- tering forests and the roaring streams, and on its towering sides the growths of various climates and o' different zones in due order meet end single. It is by no official title, by no were literary fame, by no signal or single se or work, no marvellous Lear ‘or transfiguration, no stroke of State eraft calling to political life a new world to redress the balance of the old,, no resounding Austerlitz or tri- umphant Trafalgar, that Bryant is commemo- rated. There may have been in his long lifetime genius more affinent and creative, greater renown, abilities nore commanding, careers more dazzling and romantic But no mau, no American, livin ir dead, has more truly and amply illnstrated the scope aud the fidelity of republican citizenship, A TRIBUTE TO “THANATOPAIS.” After alluding to the circumstances under which “Thanatopsis” was first found in a drawer by the antkor’s tath nd by him sent for publication, the speaer continn ‘This is all we I linger upon it because it was without a harbinge in our literature, and without a trace of the English masters of the hour.

After the proceedings at the Academy of Music there was a private reception of the President and Mrs. Hayes. It was an informal social compliment tendered) by Mr. Frederic De Peyster, the president of the New York Historical So- ciety, at his residence in University place, near Thirteenth strect. By the character of the guests who were present it was a very distinguished affair. Of the President's party there were himself, Mrs. Hayes, Mr. Webb Hayes, Secretary Evarts, General ‘Sherman and his daughter and Attor- ney General Devens. ‘They arrived at the house about a quarter after ten and remained until half-past eleven, partuking in the mean- time of the: refreshment, which was splendidly rovided, Among the other guests were Major General Hancock, Thurlow Weed, Peter Cooper, ex-Minister John Bigelow and wife, Major General Fry, Briga, dier General Vogdes, Chief Justice Daly, Cy* rus W.

The President and Mrs. Hayes looked in perfect health and seemed to enjoy the occasion very much. . i NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMERS TALLAPOOSA AND RICHMOND AT THE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD. The United States transportation steamer Talla poosa, Captain D. G. McRitchie, arrived at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on Sunday lust from Washington. Her commander reports that the Delaware River is so full of ice that sailing ves- sels have to be towed up it. The Tallapoosa brought with her the new propeller of the Tennessee, now being repaired in the dry dock. It weighs 25,500 pounds and is one of the largest ever cast for fhe navy. GENKBRAL GRANT'S YACHT. The United States steam sloop of war Richmond, 2,700 tons, fourteen guns, came to anchor off the Navy Yard yesterday afternoon after a trial trip of forty? eight hours from Boston. ‘She stopped here for the purpose of getting a new steam launch, and will re- main until the latter part of the weck, when she will sail for the Asiatic station, via the Mediterranean and the Suez Canal. Upon her arrival at Hong Kong she will take her place in the squadron as the flagship of Rear Admiral T. H. Patterson. At some point Medi! ean €x-Presi- dent Grant and his son, Colonel F. D. Grant, will join the vessel, and will visit Aden, Bombay and other points in the East Indies, and then proceed to China or Japan. This. is a matter of courtesy ex- tended by the Secretary of the Navy to an ex-Presi- dent and distinguished citizen of the United State: Ex-President Grant and Colonel Grant will, as usual, share the expenses with the others in messing, and all that is actually afforded them is the passage in a government ship, the same 4s was done in the case of the late ex-Secretary of State Seward, Gencral Sickles and others.

Ledieu, director of the Mont de Piété, in Paris, from 1852 to 1870, died December 17, in the cighty- fifth year of his age. Born in 1794, he entered the army young, winning his epaulette at nine- teen. In the year 1813 he fougpt under the eye of Napoleon at Liitzen (May 2) and Bautzen (May 21)—victories powerless to avert the crushing disaster of Leipsic in the October following. M. Ledieu fought bravely in the “Battle of Nations,” and it was on that occasion that he received his commission, as the reward of gallantry and good conduct. A Bonapartist by sym- athies, he nevertheless did not feel himself bound fy any dynastic ties of allegiance, — but accepted employment under the white flag. From 1822 to 1829 he was employed, with the sanction of the Bourbon government, in izing the army of the Viceroy of Egypt. After the revolution of 1530, which many imperial- ists were disposed'to hailas the commencement of a state of things tending to a restoration of the Napoleons, M. Ledieu accepted high office ia the Ministry of Agriculture and Com- merce. He was director of the exhibitions of 1859, 1844 and 1840.

THE BLAINE INYESTIGATION—FUNDS | MADE AVAILABLE--MERTING OF THE COMMITIEE—A SUB-COMMITTEE TO GO TO LOUISIANA, The acting Attorney General having decided that the appropriation of $20,000 heretofore made could be used by the Blaine investigating committee, the Secretary af the Senate this morning’ made roquisi- tion npon the Secretary of the Treasury for $10,00@ of the money. The requisition was pushed through withont delay and the money delivered to the Secretary, to be by him disbursed upon vouchers approved by Mr. Teller, who is chairman of this special committee. The committee met this morning, to Saturday’s adjournment. ent the Chairman, Mr. Teller, and Sena- tors Cameron, of Wisconsin, Kirkwood, Bailey and Garland. The chairman, having laid before the committee the opinion of the acting Attorney Gen- eral that the $20,000 appropriation of last June is available, and announced that Comptroller Porter will approve a requisition to place it to the credit of the contingent fund of the Senate, subject to the draft of this committee, Senators Bailey and Garland raised the point that the committee should decide for itself whether or not it can legally use the money. They (Messrs. Garland and Bailey) agree with the opinion expressed by the Comp- troller and aithough another officer of the govern- ment had given a different construction to the stat- ute, the committee which is to create the liabilities, should be guided by its own conscientious judgment as to the propriety of sanctioning a construction that a majority of its members might believe to be wholly errongous. Senator Kirkwood remarked that he has never had any doubt thatthe Comptroller's opinion is wrong, but however this might be, he insisted that there was no necessity for the Committee to go behind the ad- mitted fact that the financial officer of the Senate now has the money. Mesars. ‘Teller and Cameron expressed similar opinions and the subject was dropped. ‘ On motion of Mr. Cameron as resolution was then adopted that a sub-committee of five be appointed to go to New Orleans, Charleston and such other poiuts as it (the sub-committee) may determine to take tes- timony and report to the full committee. Tho chairman thereupon appointed the above named five members who were present to constitute this sub-committee. In response to an inquiry of Mr. Bailey as to when the majority proposed that the sub-commit- tee should start, Mr. Teller said he would be ready to start in two hours and Mr. Kirkwood remarked that he also wouM then be ready, provided he contd pack his shirts by that pursuant ‘There were pres- time, (Laughter) Messrs. Bailey and = Gar- land = said ss they = had_—soth¢r_—s commitee work, &¢., on hand’ which would occupy them during the recess, and there were also some matters to which they should give atten- tion for a short time after the reassembling, He therefore suggested that the departure of the sub- committee be deferred until a few days after Con- gress meets. Messrs. Teller and Cameron urged that the work of investigation should be promptly begun in order to complete it before the 4th of Marci. The democratic Senators rejoined that they also were desirous that the investigation ‘should be prompt and thorough, and they wished to finish up their other official work here be- fore their departure, because after that time they and the other members of the committce would doubtless be occupied all the rest of the ses- sion by this investigation in the Southern and North- ern States, ranging from Louisiana through Missis- sippi, South Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts, all of which had been men- tioned. Mr. Teller to Mr. Bailey—And perhaps algo in Ten- nesses. Mr. Bailey—Probably also in your State, Colorado, (Langhter.) Mr. Kirkwood inquired if anybody had ybt sng- gested Towa as an additional field for investigation, (Renewed laughter.) ‘ ‘A motion submitted by Mr, Garland that the sub- committee leave Washington on the 9th proximo was defeated by a party vote of 3 against 2, and after some further colloquy it was finally agreed unani- mously that it shail start for New Orleans next ‘Thursday, It was also understood that other sub- committees shall be appointed hereafter, On motion of Mr. Garland a resolution was adopted requesting the President and the Attorney Gen- eral to furnish to the committee alt in- formation in their possession relative to vio- lations of rights of citizens in the States named in the President's Message and the Attorney General's supual report, so far as in their judgment may be compatible with the public interests, and the committee then adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. / SECRETARY SHERMAN ON THY COMING RESUMP- TION-—NO GREAT CONVUSSION ANTICIPATED, ‘The Secretary of the Treasury, in conversation to-day, laughed at the repeated publications to the effect that he is to be in New York city on Thursday next to witness the effects of specie resumption, all of which ho denieg, as he has no further business requiring his presence in that city, “Why,” said he, “@ good many persons think that there is to be some violent commotion on that day. Ihave no doubt that it will be one of the most quiet days New York has ever experienced, ‘There may be some few persons attracted by euri- osity, and others to obtain alittle coin for their notes, but there will be no excitement./” PRACTICAL RESUMPTION, ‘There were paid out of the Treasury to-day $906,200 in currency to persons who preferréd legal tender notes to gold, PURCHASR OF GOLD BULLION, R.

The opening of this office will make four places where the department is buying gold on similar terms, The . other three places are Charlotte, N.C., Boise City and Denver. The purchases at Denver have so far been larger than at any other point, THE COMING PUBLIC DEBT STATEMENT. The public debt statement to be issued from the Treasury Department on ‘Thursday next will show very little change from the statement of December 1, when the increase was $3,214,000, caused by the issue of the warrant for the payment of the Halifax Fishery award during that month, Usually the receipts and expenditures during December are about equal, the surplus receipts last December being but $71,000. In Janudry and February, however, the receipts always exceed the expenditures, and by the 1st of March the increase of $3,000,000, which the monthly statement now shows, will be entirely cancelled. ‘THE UNITED, STATES AND SPANISH COMMISSION.

Nasavitie, Tenn., Dec. 24, 1878. General Jackson was 4 most remarkable man, the greatest the world has produced since the days of ‘Washington and Napoleon, I believe him equal to either, He takes his rank with such men as Csar, Charlés ¥., the Duke of Marlborough, Cromwell, the Duke of Wellington, Bonaparte and our own Was!i- ington, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, Such men are the product of cepturies, They are bright and brilliant siars that take their place in history at jong periods of time, and as time rolls on and thé distant ages come their brightness increases and their glory is not diminished, Many are the interesting scenes of Jackson's life which his biographer, Perton, has omitted and got brought to light. When a boy J saw him scare and put to flight twenty thousand men. ‘The occasion was this:—Greyhound, a Kentycky horse, had beaten Double Head, a Tennesses horse, and they were afterward .matched for $5,000 a side, to be run on the Clover Bottom Course. My uncle, Josephus H. Conn, carried me on horseback behind him to see the race, -He set me on the cedar fence and told ime to remain till he returped. In those days not only coun- ties, but States, in full feather, attended the race course as «great national umusément, und the same is still kept up in France and Fagand under the fostering care of each government. ere inust have been twenty thousand persons. present. 1 never wit- nessed such fierce betting between the States. ‘Horses and negroes were put BR A large pound wea filled with horses and negroes bet o: e result of this race. The timo had now arrived for the com~ petitors to appear on the track. I heard some loud talking and, looking down the track, saw, for the first time, General Jackson, riding slowly on @ gray horse, with long pistols held in each hand. I think they were as long as my arm and had a mouth that a ground squirrel could enter. In his wake followed my uncle Conn, Stokeley, Donelson, Patton Anderson and several others as fierce ap bulldogs. As General Jackson led the van and approached tho judges’ stand he was rapidly talking and yesticula- tiny. As he came by me he said it he had irre- frayable proof that this was to be a jockey race, that Greyhound was seen in the wheat field tlie night be- fore, which disqualified him for the race, and that his rider was to receive $500 to throw it off, aad “by the eternal God” he would shoot the first man who brought his horse upon the track; that the jle’s money should not be stolen from’ them E this “manner. He _ talked incessantly, while the spittle rolled from his mouth avd the fire from his eyes. I have seen bears and wolves put at bay, but he was certainly the most ferocious looking animal that I had ever secn. His appearance and manner struck terror into the hearts of 20,000 nie It they telt as Idid every one expected to be slain. He announced ia arg 4 ties if they wanted some lead in their hides to first bring their horse@on the track, for ‘by the eternal’ he would kill the first man that attempted to do so: ‘There was no response to this challenge, and, after waiting some time and they failing to appear, Gen- eral Jackson said it was a great mistake in the opinion of some, that he had acted hastily, without considera- tion. He would give the scoundrels a fair trial, and to that end he would constitute # court to investigate. this matter, who would hear the proof and do justice to all _ parties, Therenpon he appointed a sheriff to keep order, and five judges to hear the case, Proclama- tion waa made that the court was open and was ready to Petre to business, and for the parties to appear and defend themselves. No one sppeering, General Jackson introduced the witnesses, proving the bribery of Greyhound’s rider, who was to receive $5) to throw off the race, Se aay Seg te $250 in advance, and that Greyhound had been turned into the wheat field the night before. He ra called on the parties to appear and contradict this, proof and vindicate their innocence, They failing to appear, General Jackscn told the court that the proof was closed, and for them to render their judgment in the premises, which, in a few moments, was done in dunce with the facts proved. I was still on the fence forin- ing one ling of the large pound containing the property bet on the race. Eich man ‘was anxious to get back his property. General Jack- son wayed his hand and announced the decisiou, and said, “Now, itlemen, go calmly and in order, aodeach man e Iris own property.’’ When the word wgs given the people came with arush. It was more le than an army with banners. They came bulging against the fence, and, in the struggle to get over, they knocked it down for hundreds of yards. I was overturned and nearly trampled to death. Bach man got his property, and thns the fraudulent race was broken up by an exhibition of the most extraordinary courage. He did that day what it would have required 2,000 armed men to bavi effected. All this was effected by heagh pean reteg and ac tion of one man, and without the wing of one drop of blood. A certain knowledge that in One event streams of blood would have flowed effected this great and worthy object. ELECTRIC CANDLES. {From the San Francisco Call, Dee. 13.] As stated in the Call a few days since, and tele- graphed hence some time ago from New York, ex- Governor Milton 8. Latham, while in Europe, see cured the right of introducing several patents for producing light by electricity. These inventions cover the principle on which the electric candle of Jablochkoff is operated, one being the production of Werdermann, a Prussian, who exhibited his appa- ratus in the British Telegraph Manufactory, at Lon- don, England, on the 4th of last month, and satisfac- torily demonstrated the practicability of lighting und ex! ‘uishing as many electric candles as he pleased at will. In connection with the sam+ matter Mr. Lathan has the right of the Gramme generator fof producing electricity, which, together with the patents above ree ferred to, cover the United States and are looked upon as very valuable, Apparatus aud machinery sufficient for lighting’s large city is in New York’and will ba brought here as secon as Mr. Latham has considered the erection of proper works. The capital required will not be as great as to establish gas works of equal illuminating capacity. Mr. Lathaw’s pian is to dis. trict the city, placing ineach district a generator, and run the wires into honses either underground or over the housetops,and place electric can on the yas fixtures now in use, connecting them with wires, each one having @ power equal to torty candles and costing one-third as much as gas. In Paris, Berlin and London, where these electric candles are rapidly coming inte use, the cost is found to be nominal compared with gas. ‘The ish light emitted by the electric candles in the Palace Hotel is exnused carbon points being coated with copper; but Mr. Latham thinks his og ype will burn steadily and can be regulated so that no shading will bo required. Of course, the longer the distance travelled by @ current greater the electro-motive powcr required; but the Gramme generator, located three mites off, could furnish an electric stream sufficient: to light and maintain the brilliancy of » large num- ber of Jublochkoff candles. Mr. Latham proposes to take measures to immediat test the practica- bility of lighting San Francisco by electricity. A REWARD FOR TREASON, GEORGIAN LEGISLATORS PURPOSE TO EXEMP3 EX-CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS FROM TAXATION. {From the Gold Hill (Nevada) News.) A proposition is -pending before both branches of the Georgia Legislature to reward the men who bore arms against the nation in the war of the rebellion, It is proposed to exempt from State and county taxw tion all Confederate soffiers who were wounded in the service of treason, and it is understood that the other rebellious States will follow the example of Georgia in this matter, The expectatiom of the South was to secure such @ victory for the democrats at the late election that the control of Congress would be in their hands, aud then to grant pensions to Confe:t- erate soldiers, to be paid out of the national Tress. y ‘That wcheme has failed, and the republican #4 imide have warned the South that, for tha present at least, it ix not safe to attempt to divert the veventies of this nation into ac! which sha!l reward treason at the expense of the loyalty of the people.
