Washington, December 31.—The sleet
atorm of last night which thickly enamel
ed the pavement gave place this morning
to a heavy fog, almost n rain fall. The two
inches of thawing snow and ice which cov
ered the g ound made marching and all
out door exercise a thing to bo dreaded.
g owever, great crowds made their way
om the early morning towards the copf-
%Ql to view the remains of the dead states
man, and the time of lying in state was too
tort to give an opport unity for all to pass
y. At 11 o’clock the doors were closed to
Be general public, and while two ranks of
rand army men filed on eit her side of the
, Bier the undertaker screwed on the lid of
the casket. A delegation of friends
from Chicago arrived in a few minutes
and the casket whs re-opened to
enable them to take a last look at the body.
At 12:10 the pall bearers took their places
and conveyed the casket to the senate
chamber. The hall of the senate was fully
though not elaborately draped, and tho
chair of the dead senator, second ot the
innermost row from the centre aisle, was
covered with crepe. The clerk’s desk was
almost hidden in the bank of floral em
blems,
FLANKED ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT
respectively, by a huge anchor of white
and an immense representation of the
badge of the Fifteenth army corps. Two
or three hundred additional chairs had
been arranged in rows for tho accomoda
tion of those who had been invited to do
honor to the deceased.
The senators came in singly or in pairs
and took the seats assigned them on the
left of the presiding officer’s desk, leaving
the three front rows vacant. At a quarter
before 12 o’clock, clad in their silken robes
of office, then entered without formal an
nouncement Chief .Justice Waite and
Associate Justices Bradley, Gray, Field and
Mathews, together with the officers of
the supreme court, and took the seats as
signed them to the right of the presiding
officer’s desk. Beyond them came the
and draped in black. Tho Grand Army
posts and all uniformed delegations, to
gether with six carriages containing the
mourners, clergy and pall bearers pre
ceded t he hearse. This was drawn by four
spirited black horses, covered almost en
tirely with sombre trappings and cloths,
and moved in the center of a hollow
square formed by the Grand Army escort.
A long double line of carriages closed tho
procession.
THE LINE OF MARCH
from the eapitol grounds lay through
Pennsylvania avenue, Fifteenth street,
Vermont and Khodo Island avenues and
Seventh street. The broad streets were kept
clear of the crowds by the police, but tho
sidewalks throughout the populous parts
of the route were thronged despite the ter
ribly inclement weather. When the limit
of the asphalt paved streets were passed
the muddy, slush-covered roads proved to
be almost impassable for pedestrians, and
many of those who started dropped out of
line and returned.
ROCK CREEK CEMETERY,
in which the body of the deceased senator
will temporarily repose, adjoins tho Sol
diers’ Home grounds and is the oldest
burial grounds in tho district, having
been bo used since 1719. A num
ber of magnificent forest trees
shade the place, surrounding the ancient
Rock Creek church. At 3:10 o’clock the
large bell at the cemetery began to toll,
ana the head of the procession passed
slowly through the entrance to the accom
paniment of a funeral air from the artillery
band. Gen. Sheridan, accompanied by his
orderlies in advance, took up position at
the tomb where he was joined by General
Ordway and staiF. The procession wound
slowly along beneath the dark evergreen
arches, and the artillery formed a line in
front of the tomb until the first of the car
riages came up. They then formed in
fours, and followed by tho military
contingent took up their position in the
road to the north of the tomb. The Dali
bearers alighted and took their places on
the foot walk while the hearse slowly
turned the road at tho foot of the hill. The
Marine band, posted opposite the tomb,
began to play “Nearer, my God, to Thee.”
With little delay the casket was removed
and placed on a bier at the entrance to the
vault.
By this time the occupants of the car
riages had alighted and remained standing
on the foot walk. The carriage containing
the Immediate members of the dead sena
tor’s family drove up and took position di
rectly in front of the tomb. John A.

wore thoroughly .tiled,though thanks to the
admirable police arrangements planned by
the sergeant-at-arms and carried out by
his deputies and assistants, there
was no crowding and nothing
occurred to mar the proceedings. The
seats reserved for the family of the presi

ate; Bishop Andrews, of the M. E. church,

John C. Black. They wore sashes
of black, with shoulder knots of black and
white ribbons. They formed in two lines
as they came within the bar between
which passed the pall bearers of the grand
army, the men bearing the casket. The
congressional committee wore wide sashes
of white. The honorary pall bearers and
the committee were conducted to seats on
the left centre. Gen. Sherman and Speaker
Carlisle occupied chairs at the president’s
desk, and the clergy were at the desks of
the secretaries. The solemn services were
begun by reading the SOth Psalm by Bishop
Andrews. Dr. Butler read as the burial
service a portion of the fifteenth chapter of
Corinthians. A prayer was offered by Dr.
Tiffany, and the funeral sermon was deliv

At the close of the funeral oration the
benediction was pronounced and then at a

Atlanta, Gu., December 31.—The last
day of the old year lias been an uneventful
one in Atlanta. A disagreeable drizzle
has fallen all day and the pavements arc
begrimmed with mud, making walking
almost as perilous and falls much more
unpleasant than during the recent sleet.
If New Year’s Day is as dreary as the Inst

Atlanta, December 31.—The Alpha

the Kimball house. Owing to tho inclem

doned and the speech making was confined
to a number of responses to appropriate
toasts offered at the banquet. The con
vention lias been a splendid success and
a new year was never ushered in
upon a happier or finer set of fellows than
those who surrounded the banquet board
at the Alpha Tau banquet when tho mid-
i night hour was struck to-night. Tho dele

Washington, December 29.—John A.
Logan’s death gives full swing to a discus
sion of the republican political situation.
Thero is much diversity of opinion at
present as to what its effect will lie, but
all agree that it will bo considerable nnd
conclusive us to the fortunes of one or
more great, men now on tlio carpet. Logan
was no ordinary political quantity, nnd
might have held tlio balance of power
nexl year in his own party. His removal
from the scene will cause new alignments,
new plans and now calculations, lie was
distinctly the candidate of the soldier ele
ment. and t hat element will have to'seck a
new favorite. Perhaps they will not have
far to go. Gresham was next-door neigh
bor to Logan, and Gresham was not only a
soldier, but he left a leg on the field of
battle.
AS TO MR. BLAINE,
he will not he u gainer by Logan’s death.
With both Sherman and Logan before tho
convention the west would have been
hopelessly divided. Halstead would have
so nourished antagonism that the possibili
ty of compromise would have been pre
cluded, and nt some epoch in the conven
tion Logan or Sherman would have tossed
the bone to Blaine, tiie only eastern candi
date worth the incut ion. It was a knowledge
of this fact that caused the Plumed Knight
to make preparations to lug his magnetism
and his audacity over to Ireland on an elec
tioneering expedition. Should he con
clude to carry it out, however, it is to
be Hoped that Minister Phelps will forget
Edmunds and Bayard long enough to in
troduce Blaine at the queen’s drawing
room, and let her majesty see just what
sort of an animal a live British lion tail-
tv.ister is. But if Blaine knows upon
which side of his broad I he oleomargarine
is spr :ul he will stuv nt home and make a
deal with Charley Foster, a tiling he did in
1880 and again in 13? I.
SI IE KM AN.
Sherman will not gain by Logan's death.
In 1 Ii esc days of knights of 1 ihor his record
is certain of scrutiny, lie claims to be. a
great financier, and the only man in this
broad land who can hold up the United
Status treasury by the tail and give a cor
rect diagnosis of its mumps, measles and
whooping coughs.' A great, financier 1
certainly is, for he accumulated a colors:
fortune upon ^ftft(H)
evil edicts of this needless piling up of
money in the treasury. But when next
year comes, and when we. have no bond
payments to make, then the people will
very soon be trade to feel the burden, and
congress will he called upon to act at
once. Under the pressure of a possible
financial stringency the discordant ele
ments in congress will bo forced to har
monize.”
“Do you think much, if anything, will
be done beside the passage of the appro
priation bills ?”
“Not much. The house will undoubtedly
ratify the interstate commerce proposition
nsjsoon as it reaches it, if it passes the sen
ate. Tiie house will make short work ofit.
Thero may be a few days’ debate, but the
sentiment of the house is overw helmingly
in favor of establishing the principle of
governmental regulation of the railroad
traffic. They will take this bill as the best
that can at present bo obtained as n recog
nition of this principle and will try for
something better next time.”
“Do yon think the Pacific railroad fund
ing bill will have any chance this winter?”
“No, I do not.”
“But it is a special order and it is pend
ing in the house.”
“I know it is a special order, hut thero
are so many other orders ahead of it that I
do not believe it can be reached. The
agricultural committee at present has con
trol of most of the house time for the bal
ance of the session. It has obtained a very
extraordinary order providing that thi*
committee shall bo recognized in prefer
ence to nil others, except those covering
appropriations or revenue measures
Propositions from the ways and means
committee or from the various committees
having charge of appropriation hills alone
can crowd it back. This special order holds
good until all of the business reported by
this committee has been passed upon. It
has already reported the pleuro-pueumo-
nia bill, the bill to make the department
of agriculture the equal of the other de
partments in the cabinet, nnd one other
proposition of a general nature. Unless
this committee yields it has business
enough to occupy all the spare time of the
session.” »

Charleston, S. C.. December 31.— 1 The
News and Courier will publish to-morrow
an elaborate review of the agricultural and
industrial development of South Carolina
during the past year. In an editorial anal
ysis it says: In manufactures the results are
magic il and marvelous. The number of
manufacturing establishments in the state
has increased from 12.20 in 1800, to 3242 iu
1830. The capital has increased from
• .*0,031,956 to £21,'>27,070. The number ol
1 i hands employed is 03,378 iu 1880 against
ir for ten yearsnmd i uuol in 1800, nnd SI Hi in 1870. The value of

house when | ft is estimated that the value of agricul
tural and garden productions for 1886 was
£11,100,501, and the value of coin alone
was nearly half the value of the cotton
crop. There is food for thought in this,

The total value of farm products
of the state lasf year was $44,109,-
501. This is very nearly as much as
the value of farm products iu 18(10. Add
to the agricultural products the products
in the different branches of manufactures
and the products of mines anti quarries,
and it is evident that the total income or

amount to 50 per cefit. more than the

He was followed by four members of his

In my humble opinion, tlmru is but one
j safe ground for colored men to stand upon,
I viz., to iu>ist upon perfect equality lor the

i party. If a colored man identities himself

of the colored race, ought to bo the last

; pointed by the president, and consistency
suggests that they should not oppose tiie
