Capt. Allen's Funeral

The pera house in Ypsi'mnti was veil lïllcd on Friday evening with nrourncrs to p;y tTieir last sad respecte andtowitness the funeral ceremonies over tlic late demise of Capt. Allen. As pallbearerstliereeaí apon üie stage. Iwside the political corpse, senator Baldwn, politica! preadier Sbier of Saline, United Stntes attorney Cutcbeoii, pension agent 8am Post, Indian agont Lee. Shier opened the solemn ceremonv. the audienee supposing he vrould dvop a aílent tear by Alteu's jn-avc, but nonewerediscernible. Allen wue rotroduced and remarked that. thouyh boaten. hu was not dead. lio wa8 yet a pretty lívely corpse, and perBonally preferred t-o stay at homerather tli.tn jíoto Liinsin;'. A.gleeelub sang asong unadapted to the funeral occasion, wliich served to enliveii the audience. Mr. Baldwin, ehief pal] bearer, being lutroíluced, stammered artd repeated, probably because he was not ■ nccu8tomcd to Bueh grave ceremonies. He. too, regretted tlie defeat of ('apt. Alien, but failed then Rnd there to promise the deceased gentleman a fat federal office or snprpest bim as fit to wear the senatorial toga after March 4. Attorney Cutcheon next spoke but did not intímate he would resign In Alleu's favor. He was a sympathizer over the premature ruttiiifi down of his frieni but not to au exteat as to loasen his hold on the federal tveusury. No, not he. Saín Post the only office holder present uprm wliose bliishing conntenance there was observed an bccasional ten;' triclíling down and who affected tlie deepest Rrief, authorized no one to sayhe would parí wiüi hia hold on federal pap, tbat Allen might step into the pension acency. It waa a sad sccne all 'round. The meeting, partly devised to break Allen'B f:ill and let him down as easily as possible waslargely attended by ladies. One of the most interesting as well as tlie most creditable facta conceminR the American people, and which all nationa must admire, is, that we can pass through something akm to a révolution once in four years, and tlnvt so Httle trace of the conflict is observable twenty-íour honrs after election. We move forward to victory or defeat ander leadership of generáis, who often becpme deeply embittered in speech toward opponents, but election decides everything, and the next day, the dove f peace calmly sits o'er the land. Politics is droDDed. criminatton and crimination oease. The oonquered and the conqueror shake hands, and together go forward ipon ternis of friendsliip. The weaponfl of speech and prees apon which somncli dependa, are laid aslde. The platform is deserted, the orator voice dies. The people return to their avocations without difficulty or demoralization. Four of the southern republican norainees for congres were graduatesof the university of Michigan. They were the following: Augusta II. Pettibone, lst district, Tennessee, gradaated f rom the literary department in 1859; resides at Greenytlle,Tenne8ee.

Hake, 2d district, West Virginia, graduated from the law department in 18M; resides at Keyser, West Virginia. Mr. Hake has been judge of the supremo court of his state. Pettibone ■was the only one elected. Col.
