THE KUCCEMdON DISC CHORD. .Tustiec Miller, of the United Stabs supremo eeurt, in speaking of the presidential sioti tonight, said: ???If Edmunds had Is-en elected president pro tempore of the senate at tho recent extra sea- son of that Ixsly, ho would now lie tho consti tutional sneceasor to tho presidency in ease of the death of Clove-land during 1i!h term of office, though the tenure of ollkc of the presi dent pro tempore can lie terminated at will by de of tho senate." Do you think that tho sudden death of tho picxfdcnt will give rise to a constitutional ml incut defining more clearly tho statutes of llii- president pro tempore of the senate???? "No, it i# Hot needed. The president pro tc mi*ore holds the office until the return of the vice president, or until the senate elects Ids diccctfor. Nor is his tenure of otllco limited t?? a single session, for the senate is a body in M-rjH-tuo, not expiring by limitation as docs the Iou.se of rcprcw nfntlv,*. Justice Strong, of the same court, said: "Jt is customary at the close of the session of the senate for the vice president to leave the chair, and permit the elect ion of u president pro tempore, in order that there might lie a KUcrcHsion to the presidency in cose of the sud den death of both president and vice-president, Kendricks. 1 understand, declined to jicrmlt the electlou of a president pro tciuporo - tho aciiale. Hence, that Imdy i* now without n presiding officer, and Cleveland should also die, Ik fore the meeting of congress, the country would be without a head, and a most difUcnlt problem w ould In* offered for solution. A con stitutional amendment is not necessary, but a congressional enactment is certainly noeded, and under the circumstances will probably bo adopted by the incoming congress, vesting the presidentiul aiietcssion, in case of tho death of the prcfddfnt, vice-president and AjM-aker of tho house, in the sceretnryof state until an election could lie held.

TIIE FUNERAL CORTEGE. As the hour approached for the removal of the remain* of tlio lute viec-imwidcnt from mine to the court house, the streets in tho vi- Inity became crowded, nud the avcuue through which the procession was to march was one solid mass of jK*ople. At 11 o'clock, the casket was placed in the hears**, and amid the tolling of church and tire (k*1K the funeral cortege proceeded to its destination. Every building along the line of march was heavily drnjK'd in mourning. When tin- procession neared the courthouse it was found necessary to stop for nearly ten minutes until the street* could Ik* cleared for it to proceed. This building, u magnificent architectural structure, presented ?? striking appearance. The entire fn*nt was covered with black and marble column*, encircled with streamers of duck and white and the national colors. The ???ntranees were heavily draped, uml from the ower floated a flag at half m.i't. The inside lew was very imposing. The broad corridor, xtending the length of the block, was drapetl throughout with festoons of black and white. The gallery was covered with evergreens, in terwoven with Adds of flag*. The approaches, stairways and side corridor# were frill of fern# nud grow ing plants and flower#. THE CASKET DEDOMTEn. Under tho rotunda, directly in the center of the buiMiug. stand* the catafabiuc, a very elaborate structure. The enclosed space is about twelve by fifteen feet, the approaches Wing hv gcutlc'inclinc*. In the centre of it is the bier, raised about three feet from tho floor, and covered with broadcloth.

Well ster, of the firm which is publishing General Grant???s memoirs, has just returned from Eu- rojs*. where urrangeniciitH were made for trans lating and publishing that wrork in many lan guages, but his pet plan of sale by subscription, had to lie given up. One of the argument.* made by some of General Grant???s friends in fuvor of giving the contract of publishing tho memoirs to the Century Company or the Ap- jiktons was their ability to put the book the market. This was believed to ho ono of the most ira- jxirtant |>artH of the jiuhlication, and had for time great weight with the author. Mark Twain, however, who 1ms probably made more money out of book-writing than any other American author, had discovered a way of avoiding tho book trade entirely, and ho imjairtcd the Information to Fred Grant, who at om c concluded to follow 3Ir. Clemens's ad vice, Clemens had gone into tho busin make money. Jit* did not propose to divide his earnings with the news companies. Ho settled on Charles L. Webster, who was a compara tively unknown printer, and made him hi# pub. Usher. The hooks were issued on the subscrip tion plan, aud Clement* and hi* publisher divided the profits. The task of putting a book like General Grant's on the market is by nr menus an easy one. It involves the organiza tion of an army of ten thousand canvassers. "I often think what a motley erow*d this army of mine must Ik*,??? said Mr. Webster. "Wlmta spectacle It would lie if I could only get them together for a review. The list of suhseriliers contains nearly all the well known names in the country. Fresidcut Cleveland has subscribed for a copy bound in morocco. General Sheridan uot only subscribed, hut ho caused the war office to lie ransacked for a month, hunting for tho original document of Ix*c*'s surrender, a fac-simile of which we liavo in the second volume. Governor Hoadly however, refused point blank when approached and asked to snbscribe by ono of our general agents some time ts*fore the general???s death. ???General Grant isn???t ?? literary man,??? said he. ??????I don???t know that I have any use for his book.??? One of our less trustworthy canvassers told mo thut Mr, Conkling nearly nnuihilnted him when he penetrated to his private office to try to sell him a copy; he said that the ex-senator fairly roved ??nd swore.
