Laid To Rest

The funeral of Mr. Tilden from his mansión at Greystone, Saturday mornin;, August 7, was plain and simple, as the dead statosinan wished it should be. Yonkers was in mourning garb. The shops were closed and badges of mouring huug on tho closed doors. The people of the villago were out early, wending their way to" wards the mansion of their old friend, where the last marks of respect were to be paid to his greatness and his benevolenco. Morniug trains brought numbers of distinguish'ed people to swell the crowds which filled the groundí of Greystone, waited under the trees until the doors should be thrown open to the public and then flled respectfully into the chamber of death to look on the face soonto beshut out froni sight forover. "Within Mr. Tiltlen's mansion all was subdued quiet. The dead leader lay in his coffln in-the great drawing room, the walls windows and entrances of which wero draped in deep black. Heavy folds of crnpe and cashmere hid every vestige of color, and the blue-room of Mr. Tilden's pridó was, for a time, a blue room no more. Between two windows which look out on the Hiid-on, whero his yacht lay tossed by the breakers, was the coffin. It was a ricli but plain casfcet of Spanish cedar, covered with rich black silk plush, and ornamented with oxidized silver trimmings. A silver plato boro the ins'-nption in plain script, "Samuel J. Tilden. Deep down in the tufted white satin lay the head of Mr. Tilden, resting a little on one side. The body was in full dress. u hijíli standing collar and white tie encircled the neck, and a fresh flower was in the buttonhole on the coat lapel. The face wns calm, more so, indeed, than thoso who had known Mr. Tilden daring his long period of illnoss hnd seen the countenanee in years. There was no mark of suffering I on it, and it bore no trace of emaciation. At í):;0 the ceremonies were to begin. At that hour those who wished to take a j last look at Mr. Tilden carne in. I tary Manning eame first, leaning on j the arm of Mr. John Bigelow. Tho ! two gentlemen had been tried and trusted (rienda of the dead man. the ono his politloal lieutannnt, the other the echolarly companion of his retlrement and liis biographer. Following them was . President Cleveland and Becretary I cott. Daniel Lamont cnme next, and ofter him o solid column, the prominent : members of which were Charles A. Dana, editor of the .''t, and Mr. Tilden's lit'elong friend iind political admirer, Sam iel J. Kandall ; remtor Evarta, Algernon S. i Sullivan, Sp 1 1 M. Weed, Gov. Hill, Wm. H. Barnum G-mi. Alex. Hnmilton, and a i lnrge numb r oï others of almost equal I j,i-oininoiu- tr in uil parta of the east. The servi es were commencocl by the i Riiighig of i hymn, "Abide with me," by I the choir of th ■ Madiaon avenue Pre terian chu:c.i. vvhich Mr. Tilden att. . when in New York. Rev. Wm. J. Tucker of Andover, Mass., a close friend of tho family, read the burial service of tho Presbyterian ohurch, and then delivered a brief address. Ho spoke ! of the desolation of deuth. It divides , friends from those who weep by a gulf which ordinarv expreszon cannot cross. In the case of Mr. Tilden it had done even more. It hadended the existence of a great intellect, and of a mind so great that few men of the age had equaled him, while fewer still, if any indeed, had excelled. Wisdom, sagacity aud honor were the characterlstica of'Mr. Tilden. Tho roOT. ..,,a a , hriefly Bpokéottlie manrfer in which Mr. Tilden Had ftsomplined these human perfections, and tho lesson to bo drawn from his life and deeds. Two more hymns wero rendered and the services were at an end. The prl;is cover of the inner colHn was put in place and the outer cotlin sealed. The hearers, servants of Mr. Tildón, lifted their precious burden to the bearse.followed by tho honary pallbearers, Samuel J. Randall, John Bigelow, Daniel Mamiing, Smith M. Weed. Charlea A. Dana, Dr. Qeorge I-. Miller, WiUium Allen Butler, Daniel Hgone, J. B. Trevor, Dr. Charla mnions and Aaron J. Vandrpoel. Out into the rain which was telling heavily, the cortege moved from the residence to the depot, where a special funeral tram liad been prepared. A private car had l.ee.i arranged with a catafalque, and threo cóa uSc ".-o fiiK-a witü the mourners, membei s of the family and public onlcials. The special train left Yonkers shortly before noon. At every station a large crowd was gathered, despite the rain, with ! uncovered heads, and niuny emlilems of ' mouruing were exhibited. The train reacned New Lcbnnon ut 1 o'clockand was met at the depot by nearly the entiro ; population of the village. The remaina ■ were conveyed to the little Congregation1 al church opposite the old Tilden homeitead. where ervices were condticted by Rev. Mr. Burrill. the pastor. These concluded, an opportunity was piven to the i public to view the face of the dead. Fully 5,0UO persons passed the codin and gazed at the dead statesjnan. The coffln was then covered, placed in the hearse, and lbo sad procession moved to the cemetery, ! where, after a prayer, the body was placed I iu a vault. CARNAOE OF BLOOD AND DEATH.

The moh having chargsd the pólice with drankenness, lnsperftor Reed paraded the Street ut the risk oi his life and satislied himself of their sobriety. The aspect of affairs was so serious at noon on the S)th that theauthorities ordered all the tuveins in the city to be closed until to-moirow eveniug. (iroups of men are a-sembled everywhore, exciiedly discussing the sltuation. The military early disnersed sbveral rival mobs at the point of the bayouet.

"Wfcat Congross Did The President's Vetoes. Tho first session of the Forty-ninth I Congress which cnded on the !th inst. began on Monday, Decomlior 7, 18S5, and covered a period of seven months and ' twentyeight days, or 241 days, exclusive of Bundays. Of this time tho Sonate was in session Ifi4 days and the House 1S5 dnys. During that time there were introduced in thetwo Houses 13,202 measures, of which 10,014 were e bilis and 214 House joint resolutions, and 2,891 bilis and eighty-three joint resohitioas of the Senate. The measures proposed for enaetment into laws oiceeded in number by 2,949 thoso introduced at the first session of the Korty-eighth congress. whieh sat for seven raonth-s and four days, or 163 days of actual workinp; time. They covered all sorts of subjects from the payment of a laborer at the capítol for extra services to the complex questions of tariff legislation and legislation with respect to national finances. Of the entire number comparatively few were of what may be termed of national importance. The greater number were mensures of a private nature or of merely local importnnce, such as relief and pension bilis ; bilis for the erection of public buildings; for bridging rivera; for grant ing right of way to railroads through military or Indian reservations; for the removal of politieal disabilities; for changing judicial distriets; for establishing new land offices; for changing the name or 'ocation, or inerensing the capital stock of national banks; for printing public documents, etc. A very small percentage of the whole number of bilis introduced, of eifher a general or private nature, became laws. A compartively small number succeeded in getting thronsh the oommittees to which they were reforred and reachingthe calendars of their respective Houses; some seoured passage in the House in whirh they originated but failed of action in the other branch. and a very large number still remain unconsidered by the committei's to which they were referred. The totil number of measures that passed lioth Honsfs was 1.101, liein;241 Senate bilis, and RflO bilis whi'h orlginated in the House.

Of the new laws 7W were House measures and 241 were Senate measures. The laws that béfame such bv limltatiqn were. with two exceptions, private pension and relief bilis. The exceptions were the bill to authorize the Kansas City. Fort Scott & Gulf RfUlwav to construct a railway throueh the Indian Territory, and that to retire T,ieut. Randall. Ol" the mefisiires vetoed by the President thirty-six were Sánate bilis and seventvseven bilis of the House. Twenty-eight of the Senate bilis vetoed were private pension bil's: thrci? were for the erection of public bnildlnrs (;it Dayton. G..Rioux Citv, la., and Zanesville.

While nearly all of the vetoed bilis of the Senite were reported back from committees with the recommendition that they pass notwithstandlnu the preident's obiection. nnd while similar action wns taken on some of the House bilis, only one- that granting a pension to Jacob RomUer - was 1 bv the two Houses over the veto. Tho Des Moines river bi'l passed the Senate over the veto, but failed to re"eive the requisito two-thirds vote in the House. Moti4M t.ö ,wv. (l.v. t.r ei Tui n PnSltMi to Mary Anderson and Andrew J.

Fackcr, Who Killed and Ate Tive Ken, Oats Forty Years in Jail. The second trial of Alfred Packer, better known as the "man-eater," was concluded at Criinnison City, Col., on the 5th inst. The jury after being out three honrs returned a verdict ot' gulty of manslauglitcr on five counts as cliarged in the iudiitïnent and Judge Harrison sentenced the prisonerto forty years in the penitentiary, or eight years for each man it is supposed he mun erjd. Ihe crime Packer is charged with ís one of the most horrible ou record, and it is probable more excitement was created over his acts of cunn.batism at the time of their di-covery thi n over any other crime committed in America during the last hak century. During the eaiiy part of the winter of s;ï Facker, in the coittpany of five prospectors, snel Swan, Wilson Be 1, üed Foon, Frank Aiiilcr and James Huiiiihrtvs, started from Bingh-jm. Utah, to thb new mining district in the San Juan country. Ihe winter was severe and game was scarce, and when the party reached the place where Lake City now Kt. .mis tbey were out oi pVovluions, sulFering with cold and crying for salt. Here they went into camp and one night Packer murdered his comnanions, nnd fbr fifteen days livea off the flesh of the dead men. In tne early part of lsT4 Packer made his way to the Los Pinos agency, where hu stated that le" ■ "-ouo crazy with hunger and had murdered tt otlier Cour men while ho P..CK.O1-; was out hanting for game. On his return to camp Bil attacked him with a luitched, and he ws compelled to kill Bell in xell-defense. Packer was arrested, had :i preliniinary hearing and was contined in tho Sagunche jail, from which ho escaped the same year, and a a fugitivo utitil 18Ö8, when liè was recaptured at Fort Fetterman, Wy. T., going under the naiiM of John Swartz. His tittrnipt nt the trial to prove that he killed only Bell failed. He stoutiv maintains his inuocence as to the other tour and seems reconiiled to his fate, alihough he claims it unjust. Catfnj H is Ece i Santencel A new phase is put on the troubie with Mexico, by the sentence of Cutting the American editor in Paso del Norte, whose ! ioiprisonment ha brought about all this 1 controversy. The court senteuced Cutting to one year's imprisonment, and to pay a fine of SfiOJ. nnd in case of inability to pay the fine 1U0 days will be added to the sentenee. As soou as the verdict became knovvn on i the American side the excitement becume intense, evervone seeming to understand inat a crisis w;i rapiuiy iLl)proacning. iue popular feeling was already hign ! son of an announcement in a local paper th„t tvui nrunld b dcclurcd at once, i Places were opeued for the enrollment of minute men, nearly every ablo-oodied man In the oommunity volunteering. On the Mexican side the eicitement is equnlly intense. The steeta are filled with exciteii pcople. all wildly gesticulating and heaping improcations on tho presumptuous "Gringos," who they say are endeavorinj to dictate to their courts, the auhoritiea being sunong the most vociferous u their diiuuuciatiun of the United fcStutes. An appeal has been taken to the supremo court, 'and granted. Cuttiug has also ap)ealed to Ouv. u-eland for aid. Becretary Jiayard ha at last been heard rom on the subject. He thinks theprinci)lo involved is one of the greatet importmee, and says that Americana must be rotected, and that the state department will insist on Cutting's release. .Ra 'ing Apa;hes. The Apaches are on the war-path again. íeports from Tombstone, A. T., state that :hey had killed eleven teamsters, all Amercañs and forty mules. Another rejiort says seven Mexïcans and two Americana were killed. The last and probably more reliable report is that they attacked a train oí four wagons and killed the Mexican teainators. Uien raided near Mineas Prietas and killed two Mexican wood choppers, then made another detour and raided round back toward tho llulatoa mountains, stealing horses as they went, and cuine from the direction of Puerto Caneja their old trail. The country is terorized and ranunes for almost a humlred miles around will be abandoned. It is thought to be a portion of Geronimo's band, sent out by him to divert the attention ot Capt. Lawton, who has been pres-iing the wily chieftain to his utmost. Gerónimo is engineering for time. Whnt his next I ver will be no one can teil, but it is higlily ' probable thatLawton's pursuit bas been so pertinacious that he has concluded that the Sierra Madras are untenable. The Patriot Here. Miehael Davitt, the lrish patriot, ed in New York on the Bteamer Germania on thebth iust, ac-ompaniedby Mr. James Rourke, formerly tlu business partner of Patriok Kgan in Dublin. Mr. Kourke inakes only a brief stuy in tliis country, os his visit is purely on business. He is one of the most prominent leaders of the lrish National inovemoiit in Dublin, and was himsel! imprlsoned íor a brief term in Ñaas jiiil as a -suspei-f' under the late Chief Becretary Forster's act. Davitt will remain everafmontlw in this country and will nttend the Chicago eonvention. He was given a rousing reception by his friends in Sew York. TkeBc!fa;tRiot3.
