tered him, he rallied a little, but soon
relapsed : into total unconsciousness.
During his illness he experienced little
if any physical sutlering, and 'Friday
was wholly without pain.
Horatio Seymour Was a native of
Onondaga county. New York, having
been born at rompey, May 31. 1810.
laving been educated in local acade
mies and at a military school in Con
necticut he read law and .was "ad
mitted to practice in 1832. Private
affairs of an important character with
drew him from that pfutiuri, and,
entering politics, he was 1. ctvd as
Democratic member of the State
assembly, to which he was returned at
two subsequent elections, and in 1845
was chosen speaker. It was while serv
ing in the legislature, in 1842, that he
was elected mayor of Utica. Having
supported Gen Cass for the presidency
in 1848, he was nominated by his party
in 1850 for Governor in opposition to
Washington Hunt, who was elected. In
oo2 he succeeded in a canvass for the
same office by a large majority, and was
renominated tw years later, when he
was defeated by a small plurality by
Myron H. Clark. In 1862 Mr. Seymour
was again a candidate for the Governor
ship, defeating Mr.! Wadsworth by a
majority of 10,752. : In August, 1864,
ne presided at the national convention
which placed General McClellan in
nomination for the presidency. In
868 he was selected by the na
tional democracy as their candidate for
the presidency, and, notwithstanding he
ad preannounced his determination not
to accept the nomination, yielded to the
urgency of his political friends. Gen.
rancis Jr. Blair appeared with him on
the ticket as candidate for the Vice-
'residency.: Accepting gracefully his
efeat at the hands of Gen: Grant, Mr.
Seymour retired to his estate, and only
returned to active life in order to pro
mote important local objects and ; enter
prises. When the great effort was made
in 1871 to purify the politics of New
York he consented to become a candi
ate for the legislature, but was de
feated. He took great interest in agri
cultural affairs, and was president of
the National Dairymen's association.

raging storm
New York, Feb. 1!
Islaud , visited by a
and banked with fog, was apparently as.
isolated this morning as a rock in mid
ocean The tooting - of steam whistles
and the occasional tones ot distant fog
bells rere the only evidence of its near
ness to the great city. The military
colony was astir at an early hour. The
little steamer Atlantic, which darts to
and fro between the -Battery and the pier
on the island, brought over loads of offi
cers in uniforms and citizens in dripping
overcoats. Privates, who were pacing
along the, brick wall in fropt of head
quarters, looked disconsolate enough in
their wet uniforms. Last evening every
body upon the island was allowed to
enter the parlor in which Gen. Han
cock's body lies and take a farewell look
at his dead face. For nearly an hour
officers, privates, servants and messen
gers filed by the coffin. Many an eye was
filled with tears at the solemn spectacle.
Those who had served the General many
years and who cherished for him warm
feelings of attachment, were loudest in
their mourning. This morning Dr.
Janeway reported that Mrs. Hancock
had passed a restless night, but seemed
better at daybreak. Her grief seems
almost too heavy for her to bear.: Be
tween 7 and 8 o'clock the guard of honor
detailed by Maj llichard H. Jackson,
consisting of four sergeants and seven
corporals, drew up in front of the Gen
eral's mansion. Then came detach
ment of 200 soldiers from several forts
and drew up behind them. In the
meantime the widow of Gen. Hancock,
accompanied! by Mrs. Lieut. Griffin and
Mrs Bouvier, entered the rooni in which
the hero lay and took a parting
look at his face. Mrs. Hancock's
grief was pitiful. She kissed her ; hus
band's forehead while tears fell fast
from her overflowing eyes. . Then
she sank into a chair and would, have
fallen to the floor had not kindly bands
come to her assistance. The coffin lid was
then put in its placo and a laurel wreath
brought to this city by Col. John H.
Weeks from the : Philadelphia division
military order of the loyal legion laid upon
it. ; Six soldiers bearing a black cloth
covered bier ; came 1 into the room and
placing the coma upon it bore the body
out of fho" bouse. The detachment of
troops drawn up outside then moved
down the winding path to the "Chester
A ; Arthur,?' whioh contrary id
expectation was to receive the party in
stead ofth& Oaseo. Among the officers who
followed Ann jbody , were Lieuts. Eugene
W. B. Smith, James B Fry, Alfred Hi
Terry, Nelson A. Miles, John Newton,
O. B. Wilcox, Francis Walker, J.i W;
Hartshorne.W. P.Wilson, D.W. Milljer,
. The booming of cannon and the solemn
pealing of church bells announced the
arrival of the cortege at 10 o'clock and
sexton Brown preceded Rev. iDr Mor
gan Dix and Rev. E. D. Goodwin down
the main aisle to the front door, where
the casket and pall-bearers were. The
procession moved slowly ;up the aisle to
the altar, the clergymen in front -of the
casket, aud immediately behind them
came Gen. Sherman and secretary ' of
state Bayard. As 'they moved to: the
chancel the words "I am the resurrec
tion and the life", which came from the
minister's lips, were distinctly heard
throughout the structure. , After! the
four gentlemen above mentioned came
eight stalwart soldiers, bearing j the
magnificent casket, and on either
side of the1 "boys; in' blue
marched the other pall-bearers.!
On the caske; was an American flag and
on top of this were Gen. Hancock's sword
in its gold scabbard and his major-general's
chapeau. Following the pall
bearers came Lt. Griffin and his wife.
who was dressed in deep mourning, ahd
who led her 4-year old daughter by the
hand. With them was little Russell
Hancock, the grandson , of the dead
hero. The casket was deposited
on a catafalque in front of the altar.
The choir chanted "Lord, let me know
my end," after which Rev. E. HJi C
Goodwin, of Governor's Island, read the
lesson, which was taken from the First
Enistle to the Corinthians. 20th Terse.
The choir sang "Rock of Ages, cleft for
me," and gathered around the coffin,;
where the burial services was : rendered
in an impressive manner.- The anthem
"I heard a voice from Heaven" was
sung by a quartette. Rev. Dr. Morgan:
Dix read the Lord s prayer, after which
the funeral procession reformed and to
the strains of the dead march in "Saul,"
which was feelingly - played ' by
organist Messiter, . marched down
the aisle to the main . eHtrance,
where the cisket was once more placed:
in the hearse. After the services eight
non-commissioned officers lifted the cas
ket to their shoulders and replaced it in
the hearse. The funeral cortege' re
turned in the same order as ' before to
the barge office, where the Osseo was in:
waiting to convey the , funeral party to

lhe exercises were held in Wingate

The subject for debate . was i "Should
Governments furnish; Free Educatiob by

Argued by Messrs. Bushell, of Camden,

It is the custom with -the societies to
alternate the presidents at every anni
versary, and on this occasion the choice
was with ' the rhilomathesians, Mr;
McCullers, of Johnston, being
president, and Mr. Tayloe, of Hertford,
a Jbuselian, secretary of the debate, lhe
president in a few pointed and graceful
remarks welcomed the audience and
stated the programme, and the secretary
then introducea tne nm speaker, jur.
Bushell, who in demonstrating r the
necessity of free education: said that
Germany, Russia, France and even an
cient Greece were and had been prac
tical free educators, and especially dwelt
upon Scotland as a country of, fret
education and pointed to ; th
enlightenment and prngresgivencps o
her people ' as the happy result.
He, said that the most powerful
and progressive nations ; of i the
globe were those who favored free! edtii
cation; that mutiny and revolution ;wejf
the result of ignorance; that if a nation
would have law-abiding' citizens; and
capable statesmen it should provide
them the means of understanding and
performing these duties. Mr. Bushell
handled his subject with fluency and
grace. , i 1 'i's
Mr. Stewart, for the negative; fol
lowed. He said that his side would not
attempt to deny - the advantages of edu
cation or the increase, of happiness ac
cruing therefrom, but he denied ; the
right of the government to prescribe
what that education, should be ; that
broad culture involved the education of
the heart as well as the head, which ob
ject he claimed was defeated by public
education, as separation of church and
State forbade moral training in the
public schools. He argued that; the
establishment of free schools would be
the death-blow to denominational
colleges. Mr. Carlisle,! for Vtbe
affirmative, spoke next. IHis points
were ' well taken and t his : line
of argument good. His style is fluent.
easy and graceful, and he often moved
his audience to much laughter by his
humorous allusions. He is the eollege
poet. Mr. Stradley, for the negative,
the next and last speaker, commenced
by saying that each piece of mechanism,
each organ of the body, was formed for
the : special performance I of certain
functions, in the exercise - of which
it was unfitted for all oth
