DR, NEWMAN'S ADDRESS, Doctor Newmaw tp ko very feelingly mn an address which covsumed one hour and & hslf s delivery. Ho took as his text the twen- ty-first verse of the twanty-fifth chapter of Matthew, “Well done, thou good aud faith- ful servant; enter thou into the joy of the Lord.” “Such my brethorn,” rald the speaker, is eulogy that God +hall procounca upin human goodness wherever found among the eons of wen, He said soms comreade in arms would speak of the splendor of the martial geuuis of the dead; statesmen would review the majesty of hia civil administration; histu: rians would place him on the pedes- of his resown, ‘“but let me,” #aid the speaker, *‘as & ministor of religlon dwell upon tha' geaa: character which will wever b his crown of glory, aud the imperish able herituge of the country he loved so well,” Tho minister dwelt npon the honors which had been bestowed upou him, and the humage which was done his memory, and daclarod that the secrat of his power” on tho thought of the world was his loitiness of character, graudeuc of intellect, avd the fact that be wis none other than hiuself, He war oun of men in history who who exceeded expectation and by doiog what all others had £ il Hoe had no hatred in his heart. His holy evangel to the nation was: ‘Lot us have peaca” In his dying chamber he grasped the hand of him whose sword was the first he had won, and as an illastration of this broad epirit, the sorrow was pational today in its broadest e Daty t coneclence, his country and h God was his standard of succeesful manhood He the bumblest of men aud a lover of the most lowly, His love of wife, children and home was the supreme speskiog of the deepest tecder affsction he bore his wife, The spesker eaid: “And such was the tenderness of his love wnd solict tude for hor and hers, he surprised her by a letter found afier bis death, He had wnitien ecretly and ocarried the missive day after day duricg fourteen daye, knowing she would find it at the last ' Ha quoted from the let- ter as follow Look afier our dear childr-n aud direct them in the paths of rectitude.

Men may differ as to the interpretation, which 1s hu- but the scriptures are man's best sad religions views and balieved in the kiogatip of all mavkind, Tho clostog pertion of the addzess was de he last hours of the general’s lifo,his ade, unwavering patience and clear knowing th.t the end was uear and praying for 1t coming. REMOVING THE REVAINS, At the conclusion of the discourse the hymp, “Nesror My God to Thee,” was ren- dered by the alfresco consrezation, The rervices ended with a benediction, At the conclusion of the ceremonies there was a movement of people towards the cottage to tako a last look at the dend general, but it wes not thonght advisable to permit sny ono to enter, as it was near timo for the departure of the funeral train, Gens, Sherman and Hancock left tho balcony togethe Grant_had concluded not to po with the faneral train, but to wait over intil 4 o'clock when ehe and other ladics of the family will leave for Saratoga aud from thence go direct to New York, 4 The great crowd that attended services at the cottage remained to ses the bady brought out by the wmin entrancs, It was borne down the steps by Grant post of Brooklyn, composed of thirteen veterane, and was pre- ceded by a detachment of woldiers and two buglere playing **The dead march in Saul.

On the arrival ot the s*ation there was another great crowd, and after come litilo time was spent in gettirg the passongers on board, the train, conmsting of s)x cars left for Saratoga, U.'S. Grant, Post 527 of Brooklyn, bore the remains from the cottage to the station shortly bafore 1 o'closk, Tae military wero drawn ap and a salute was pad to the remains ns they passed to the depot, and the throog of people etoood with uncovered heads while the casket was boroe to the ¢ar. The mountain train of seven cara waited at the depot. Next to the engina was the fun ral car with open sidos and solid maseive drapery. The traus- fer from the cottaga to ths train was complated without difficulty aud the train started for ratogs. The guard of bonor’of U, 8. Grant Post, Brooklyn, corsisted of Col. W. H.

Tho grove south of the cottago was alive with spectators, Ivery vantage point w-s occupied by those anxicus to caich a glimpse of 4o funers] train, The mountain was hushed and still save the heavy booming of tho guns bidding the last farewell to the dead general, As the distancs widened between the depob aud the train, the engine gatherad wreater speed aud passed from sight aronnd a curve, The descout to the village of Wiiton was safely accomplished, and on the platform were a fow hundred villagers who silently and with uncovered heads watch the train pass by, Soon after this village was passed, the salut- ing canvon near Saratoga were heard, and it was not long before the New York Central and Mount McGregor funaral trains were stauding beside each other. Nine cars composed the New York Central train, Next to the engine came the fuceral car Woodlawn, The re- mains were lifted in silence by the gnard of honcr to the car Woodlawn, which was draped with black and buog with flags. The ‘uneral parties were transferred to the repective cars, which were all trimmed in plain black, The Brooklyn guard of honor and six men of the Loyal Toegion with ‘detachmonts, of regalass entored the doad car, also two men of Wheeler post, G, A. R. Soon after two 'clock the signai was given to start aud the train woved through throngs and away from atoga. Mra Grant has concluded not to go to New York, and will probably not leave hers until Friday next, Other female members of the family, on account of this determination of Mrs. Geant, havonot made up their minds whethor to go this evening or not. THE DBAPING OF THE TRAIN, ALBANY, August 4 —To all on board the funeral truin the beantiful drapery of the cars was the subject of comment. No wondwork except the rashes of the window was visible, The engine tender wes draprd with plaited black, raciating from a rosetto center, The #id the cab were covered in a lik® man ner, Black cloth draped from the bo'ler rals aud the front was fixed with taste, The funerdl car. “Woodlawn,” was placed in panels and centers, and the national flig was festoone d gracefully, but there was no flutter- ing.

M, Pollard, of Louis; Mayor Moore, Seth Mabrey, C. wood, T, B. Bullene, and Dr, Mumford, of Kansas City: Mr. Toney, of Providence, R' 1 ; Col. H. B, Denman, of Washiugton, and G. R reck, of Toledo, called at the White House 4t 4 p. m, and met the president in the library, Souator Cockrell introduced ex-Ropressutative Pollard, who presented a lenathy memorial in bohalt of the lessees of the lands in question, asking euch time to remove the cattle as the facts show to be in fepensitls, Mayor Mcore, representivg the business men of Kansas City, presented a number of recolutions adopted At the recent meeting in that city, He seid he believed the removal of the cattle at the present time would result in creat injury to the entire couatry. C.1. euman euid he spoke as one iuterested, He ht the removal would resultin ths loss of over huif tho interest of those owning the cattle, 'The catilemen uaderstood their busi- ness; they understood it better than an army officer; better thin Prerident aud Tney knew what could be done, The cuttle men had gone into the torritory with the encouragement of Secrotary Teller, He had written letters tavoring _them. The leases bad passed from the original hands into tho hands of the incorporators. Many widows and orphans were interested in thesa corporations and thoy would be the losers, Forty days would not be more than time enough to buy horses, employ rzen aud get things in shapo to make the removal, The cattlemen ~ usked that they m ight be ullowed ur spring time to drive their cattle, Mumfoed, leditor of the Kausas Times, Wos intro- duced pesidont as one who cpoored leasing land o he ad n opposed to such practices and was opposed to them nuw, but busiers interosts demand that convideration thould bo given to men who 0 thus forced to leaves tha rescrvations. Kausas City would bo irjured by such a re— moval, and be feared a p snic would be the result of an immediate enforsement of the order, ¢ I'nis application, as I understood it ” esid the presid-nt after Mumford seated himse *'is that the cattle be allowed toremain on the revervations until exc spring,” Colonel,Denman, repeo enting one of the largest ranches on the reeervation, replied: “4we will move at once and mae such prog- ress a3 wo can. W ask time until spring in which to finish the businese, We aro deter- mined to gat cut as soon as we can,” ““There 18 one point that soems to escapa your attention gentlomen,” said the preeident; “that point is before my eye, and 1t is the pubiic interest. We have luely seen what fear can be crested by thirty or forty Indians, ‘Within two hours a latser bas come to my desk from the governor of Kaueas, urging that the troops on the border of that state shou'd rot be withdrawn. Tho highest officer in the army, one experienced ia Io- dian sffairs, reports the eituation in the territory and says the cause of irritalion is the presence of the cattle men. A section of country containing four and a quarter mil lion acres was set apsrt for the Iudiape, Only one tenth of the four handred thousand acres is left, They sro crowded down to the agencies. Some of this may bo secured with the consent of the Indians ~ It 18 apparent to mo a8 it 18 to you that this state of affaire can- not continuo, " Two interests are in conflict, Which shall give way? On one side we have tho public peace, public security and the eafety of lives, On the other side are your interes The former, gentlemen, must bo contidered though private interests suffer. The question of putticg off this re moval until next spring is inadmissible, The order cannot be moditied. I waut to see some diligenca in complying with the order, Twelvo days havo pateed; procious tima is lost. An «ffort was made siter the order was issu-d to secure an exteneion of time, A di patch was sent saying in the most positive terms tat the order could mot be modified, Hare you are after twelvo days have passed If avy icdulgenco is shown, it ever must be an applcation in specifiz cases with evidence that an «ffort has ben made to comply with the order, It your interests led you out of the territory instead of in, I ca not help but thiok you would find some way out in the specitisd time, I wish you would co-operate and take hold and try and get tho cattlo off, No argument will induce mo to charge what has been done, Some lors and inconvenience will no doubt follow, but there is an interest greater than yours which must receive sttention,” The delegation, upon the conclusion of tho prevident’s reply, left the executive mansion “Toere's cold comfort 1n bis words,” said ove of the most promineut cattlemen as he walked through the white house grounds to tha street. +'"'Wo walked up, and we walked down,” rephied unother, A wsjority of the delegation started for homo to-pight, They aro uvanimous that the cattle cannot be removed without great pecuntury loss within the forty days’ iumit, Ds, THE CABINET The cabinet mecting wos attended by all memters ex.ept Whitney, The question of extendiog the time for removal of cattle from Iodisn lands was incidentally discussed, but it was dicided to postpone action natil after the committeo of cattlemen mow 1n tho city sball have presented their views to the presi dent, The programme for the president’s mova ments duripg the summer was conridered, It was arrapged that the president and the mem.
