TO The Funeral Services in the Senate The August Assemblage to do Him Reverence Senator Ransom's Peeling (Announcement of His Death Dr. Hoge's Eloquent Sermon Both Houses . Adjourn. . SENATE. Washington, April 16. The funeral cere monies of the late Senator Vance, of North Carolina, absorbed the attention of the Sen ate to-day. The opening prayer by the blind chaplain, Mr. Milburn, was devoted entirely to the subject. It " was in these words: "O Eternal God, with our hearts we come to the foot of Thy Throne, while the funeral knell sounds through the capital, announc ing the death of another .Senator, while North Carolina mourns the departure from her of a beloved and honored son. and the nation f ee the loss. - Wc .Mess Thee for h is large native powers, skilled in the wide ex perience of public affiairs, and for his gen eral humor enriching and illuming all sub jects he touched, making him kindly with his kind, by virtue of which he shed the influence of a wise and beneficent counsel and character on hia native State, and by virtue of his place in this Chamber, on the land at large. Grant to the widow and children, under this sore bereavement, the only comfort which can come to human hearts at such a time unshaken faith in Thy Holy Gospel and the consolation and sympathy of Thy Beloyed Son. As the earthly part of one of our brothers iaa en tered on the border of the invisible world grant that we may hear from Thy lips: 'Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord yea, saith the spirit, for they rest from" their labors,' we humbly pray, through Jesus Christ our Saviour, amen." Senator Rannom of North Carolina, then made the formal announcment of the death of his colleague, in these words: "Mr. President. It is my melancholy duty to announce to the Senate the death of Hon. Zubulon Baird Vance, late a Senator from North Carolina. He died on Saturday night last at 10:45 o'clock, at his residence on Massachusetts avenue, in this city- Though his long continued and serious illness ought to have prepared all of us for the sad event, still, beguiled by his own cheerful and hopeful spirit, none of ushad dreamed that white horses were coming rapidly to his door. His death shocks us to the depths of our hearts. It is a calamity, a sorrow, a deep public and personal bereavement. A great man has fallen in our midst. A great patriot, a great statesman, a great speaker, a great thinker, a great actor has passed away from our sight for this life. He died at his post of duty, with nis com plete armor on, with his face to the frpnt, courageous, hopeful, useful to the last. Suf- j f erings did not break down his proud spirit, i dim his noble intellect, nor shake his fear less fortitude. Full of years, but still in the strength ofc his eminent faculties, crowned , with exalted honors, but still animated with yet higher aspirations and promise of doing good. Physically wrecked and overcome with incurable malady, he stood firmly in the line of his comrades and at the last mo ment serenely gathered his robes arhnd him and stepped with the dignity of a Sen ator and the faith of a Christian from earth into heaven. It looks as if by some pro phetic intuition;he had returned from the spring flowers and genial skies of Florida to lay down his sword and shield on the very altar of his country. "This is not the time, sir, forthe analysis of his character, for eulogy of his virtues, for. the history of his illustrious services. On some fitting day, I shall ask the Senate to do justice to his honored memory. But, sir, I should commit a very great wrong not to say now with what unspeakable pain and infinite grief the death of Senator Vance smites the people of North Carolina. For more than forty years, in peace and in war, he has been the most beloved and the most honored son of that great State. From the overflowing ocean across the hills and val leys, to the majestic mountain tops, he was a familiar and most dear object to the hearts and homes of all our people. ' Lan guage cannot describe the admiration and love and gratitude of all ages, of both sexes, of every class, condition and race, of the whole people of North Carolina, for this great and good man, their benefactor and bulwark in prosperity and adversity. "Standing by his lifeless form toIay, it is my sacred duty, representing a Common wealth of nearly 2,000,000 of souls, to shed upon his mortal ashes the tears of this affec tion and deepest sorrow. He seemed as if 1 by destiny to hold in his hands the hearts of the people; and at this moment the throbbing breasts of thousands are follow ing his Eilent march to the tomb. If he had faults they ve?a bold, brave, open faults, and are foreyer ecjipeed and forgotten in the fulfilment of a great and glorious life and in the magnanimity of a noble nature. As I think of the short interval at which he follows the beloved Georgian from the fold in" doors of this Chamber to their last rest, it look3 as if fa'Q tall oaks which stood over and shaded our hearthstones had fallen in the early evening, after the- storm and heat of the day had passed oyer, and before the shades of night and winter had fallen upon their autumnal leaves. Messrs. Colquitt and Vance had done their duty to i their country and their fellow men. "But J must not trust myself further. At the hour of 9 to-night the committees of the two Houses of Congress, the entire delega tion of the State of North Carolina and the special committee from the &tat, with the sad family and friends, will leave ths capi remains'of Senator Vance through the sister tal ot the star spangled republic and bear the State of Virginia to the beautiful capital of North Carolina, and thence take them to his burying ground on the mountain side, over looking the blue torrents' of the X'renrh Broad river and in sight of lovely Asheviile. and there leave thenii in the shade of the evergreen and in the mirror and melody of flowing waters, to sleep with his patriotic . fathers. And, as the clouds at evening hang upon the bosom and eternal towers of Black mountain, so will' a shadow of sorrow rest upon the bosom of all his people. But the light of his life, with the early rays ot morn ing. Will Qlftpei me gioom iruiu me moun tains and their hearths. And -now. I can onir venture in the name of the stricken Senate, thg gentlest sympathy to send to the noble and devoted woman who for months, by day and by nifht with unwearied vigilance, has stood ' ... i . i - i . i . by him 1ik an angei oi ngni ana love, our heartfelt conaolencp and tenderness, and to holdup to his brave 60ns he eyer-living hpnmn of their father's life. He expired, solaced in the arms and affections oHiis wife and children. May our Aimigaty Father, in his supreme and infinite good ness, bestow upon them his strength and conjiort." Senator gansom then offered the usual resolutions declaring the great sorrow with which the Senate has neara ot tne aeatn oi Senator Vance; providing for a committee of nine Senators to take order for superin tending the funeral to-day; for the removal of the remains from Washington to North Carolina in charge of the sergeant-at-arms and attended by the committee; that the proceedings be communicated to the House of Representatives and that that body be in- Vlted to $teuu iue mnim committee to act with the Senate committee. The resolutions were agreed to and the v President announced the anpomtment of thfSe committee asfollpw, Sena tors Ransom, George of Mississippi, Gray of Delaware, Blackburn of Kentucky, Coke of Texas, Chandler of New fampshire, Dubois of Idaho, White of California, end Mander son of Nebraska. Fnrthpr TPdointirvnq were offered by (Sena tor Ransom and agreed to, ordering mvita tics to be extended.to the President of the United fettes and the members of his Cabi net, the chief Jusrjce and associate justices of the supreme court o tg cnitea states, the major general commanding tijsi trnxy, and the senior admiral of the navy, 'to at tend the f liberal to-day. Senators MorrlU of Vermont. Sherman of Ohio, Harris of Tennewse and McPherson of New Jersey were appointed by the Vice PresiiesS as pall Dearers, ana men a recths was taken until .3:30 o'clock p.m. .

Mrs. Nellie Grant Sartoris, Gen. Grant's daughter, occupied a front seat in the gal lery to the east of the reporters gallery. At 3:50 o'clock the casket containing the remains of the dead Senator was born into the Chamber by a squad of uniformed Cap itol police a"nd placed on a bier in the area. It was preceded by the committees of ar rangements of the two Houses, the mem bers of which, wore white scarfs, and was accompanied by the honorary pall bearers wearing black scarfs. The top of the casket was covered with a profusion of roses and lilies. Then immediately afterwards the deputy sergeant at-arms, Mr. Layton. an nounced the arrival at the main entrance of the Chamber of the Speaker and members of the House of Representatives, thet Vice President and Senators stood up and re mained standing while the members of the House were seeking their s2at-M&e-,peaker'laking his beside the Vice President, at his right hand side, and the members theirs on the Democratic side of the Chamber, which was entirely va cated by the Senators; Next came and were received with the like honors, the chief justice and assistant justices of the Supreme court of the United States, wbo took chairs in the second row on the Democratic side, leaving the chairs in the front row to be oc cupied by the President of the United States and the members of his Cabinet, who entered immediately after the Supreme court. Then "The Ambassador of England to the United States'1 was announced, and all present stood up while Sir Julian Paunce fote was conducted to his place. The President, who appeared to be fairly well and active, look his seat on a red mo-. rocco covered arm chair at the head of the line of chairs in the first row. .Next to him sat Secretary Gresham, of the State Depart ment and then came Secretaries Carlisle, Herbert, Smith, Morton, Postmaster Gen eral Bissell and Attorney General Olney. At the end of the row Sir Julian Pauncefote sat, and near him Bishop Keane. of the Catholic university. The religious observances . were begun with prayer and the readine of scriDtural selections by Rev. Dr. Moses D. Hoge, of Kichmond, v a. Then Dr. Hoge began his funeral address. He said: "The shadow of a ereat sorrow falls on this Chamber to-day. The bloom and fra grance of spring, the sunshine bright and clear bring no delight to our eyes and no cneer to our hearts, w hat are all the eenial aspects of nature; what are even those im portant concerns which occupy . and so much agiutte us ia our aauy me; wnat are ail to us just now when all around we see those badges of mourning, those tears of grief; when we behold that bier and remember who it is that lies under it? Suddenly called upon on an occasion so solemn and before an assembly so august, reel that there is but one tonic which becomes one in mv position, onlv one theme about which it is proper for me to speak. The first requirement for the high est and most symmetrical development of everything that is noble in the character of a public man, whether a soldier, a sage or a Senator, is a sincere, consistent, heartfelt piety. Piety towards God is the surest in centive to the tun discharge of all duty towards men. It is the truest and most un failing inspiration of honor, the strongest safeguard of personal integrity, the most efficient aid in the pursuit and in the attain ment of whatsoever things are true and just and honest and lovely and of good re port, i stand here to antrm that the man who lives perpetually a under his ereat Task-Master's eye, -who believes and who remembers that God is now the witness of his conduct and will be his final iudere. is the man who will ever be the most fearless in meeting his responsibilities, and the most faithful in the discharge of all his trusts. He is the man who will be most elevated oyer whatever is most ignoble and. narrow ana selfish, because the ends which he aims at are those of his country, his God and truth. "And now, when I remember on whom this bereavement has fallen with its heav iest weight. Oh, what can I do, what can we all do, but to take up in the arms of our faith and Christian sympathy and affection those who are most bereaved and commend them to the Father of Mercies to the God of all comfort commend them to the tender care of Jesus, lover of souls, and uever so full of sympathy as when his children are punished with sorrow." the preacher recalled the scene ot Aiasil- lon, the famous French divine, preaching a J funeral sermon before a French King, and declaring, after his eyes had wandered over that scene ot pride and mocKing yamtv until at last they settled on the bier where dead Koyaity lay beneath tne pan. "lhere is nothing great but God." "lo-day, continued the preacher, "this Chamber, by a solemn dispensation of Providence, has been converted into a lodge of sorrows and m this audience are thpge occupying the highest posts of au thority and influence in the land; and yet that all temporal distinctions are now for gotten and how the great themes of contro versy and strile, which absorb and agitate us appear insignificant in the presence of the dead, in the presence of the living God. 'Theve is nothing great but uod. " In conclusion Mf. Hoge recited the hymn: "My God and Father, while I pray; Far from home on life's'rough way; Oh teach we from my heart to say Thy will be done." The Benediction was pronounced by Chaplain Milburn, and then the coffin with the remains of the dead Senator was borne out by Capitol police, attended by the hon orary pall bearers an.d the committees of the two Houses. The invited guegts left the Chamber in the inverse order of their ar rival.
