DOUBLE SHEETTHREE CENTS.
FUNERAL OF GENERAL CASS.
IatreatlBc Frol Bimlaln.
The funeral of General Lewis Cass took place
at Detroit on Tuesday. During the forenoon
the remains were visited at the house by thou
sands of people. Shortly before two o'clock
private religious services were held by Bishop
JdcCloskey, of the Episcopal, and Dr. Duffield,
f the Presbyterian Church. The body was then
taken to the .State Street Presbyterian Church,
the family of the deceased and a very large
audience being in attendance. Bishop Mc
Closkey read the nineteenth Psalm, and a hymn
was eung, after which Dr. Duffield delivered a
sermon from the text "Then Abraham gave up
the ghot, and died in a good old age, an old
man and full oi years, and was gathered to his
people." After referring to General Cass' public
life, ani setting forth his patriotism and un
blemished moral character, Dr. Duflield nar
rated tha following interesting incidents:
"The grand ef-eutial lact of evangelical faith
were accredited by him. He had witnessed In a
beloved daughter, removed in youth many year
ago, the power nud value of that in Christ which
gave her the victory. In the beloved partner
of his bosom, who ehared with him his cares,
h;s trials, ana sonows. h had witnessed the
virtues and graces of Christian character, deve
loped In their m Id radiance and illustrated by
an earnest, devoted, aud conswent life. Two
such blessed ties hud oi ten drawn his thoughts
from earth to heaven. But within the few last
years of his lite, his own personal inte
rests in Christ and hope of salvation
had become matters of calm, Intelligent
solicitude and innulry. He was especially
averse to and afraid of evincing and professing
religious teelings that might not be abiding and
evidential of true Christian faith even often to
distrusting i-omewhat his owu consciousness.
Being particularly reserved on this account, in
conversing on religious subjects it was ditlicult
to learn what were his thoughts and emotions
in reference to his own personal acceptance
wilh God. The subject of Divine Providence
often perplexed him, not knowing bow to
reconcile the inequalities among men. It
was my privilege, a very lew davs after the
attack on Fort Sumter, when, meeting him
on the street and in the presence ot two
rrutual friends, to hear the disclosure of his
thoughts then made on this subject. His mind
was lull ot doubt aDd tear and gloom lest, the
bloody conflict commenced, it would be long
protracted, taylng t me: 'Neither you nor I
will live to see it ended.' 'Yes, General, I hope
we shall see it ended,' was the reply. "We
bhall get through our troubles before the storm
o' desolating war will buist in Luropc.' 'What
rcukesyou think so?' he eagerly interrogated.
'The providence of God will be our shield and
delem-e,' it was answered. 'Providence !' he
replied, with apparent surprise; 'it is a mys
tery ! it seems to me that Providence as often
favors the wicked as the good.' It was a fitting
opportunity I eladlv lmuroved, end aaid, 'Gene
ral, be pleased to read carefully the 7th, 8th.
Mb, and 10ih chapters of Isaiah, and you will
Jearn the plan ot Providence, and thenco
how to estimate the justice of a nation's
cause, and see the mysteries of Providence
solved. God values a nation j ist as it conforms
to ana sulserves His purpose to honor and exalt
His Son, tne Lord Jesus Christ. There is for
notions, as for individuals, salvation and secu
rity to be found only in Him. What is just as
between man and man, nation and nation, may
be unjust ai between them and God.' The
conversation soon ceased, as he was on his
way to attend the luneral obsequies ot a mili
tary officer who had shortly beiore sudieuly
expired. At a subsequent interview, not manv
days alter. I was happy to tnd the General's
mind as lull of hope for the' success of our
Union's cause as I was myself, and which hope
thereafter never faltered. 1 loudly persuaded
roeelt that lie had learned where to anchor with
assurance his hope lor himself as well as for his
country. It gives me pleasure to be able to say,
from subsequent conversations, that he trusted
not in his blameless lite, or deeds of righteousness
of his own; that he believed in the Deity and
atonement of Jesup Christ, and the reality and
necessity of a change of heart by the spirit of
God; and that he accepted, and was satisfied
with the atoning blood of Jesus as the means
of recouciliat'on to God. He yave unmistaka
ble proots to his friends that lie loved the peo
ple of God aud the cause of Christ; and in the
moments when suflering great paiu of body, he
was beard by attendants, not known to be pre
rent, uttering the language of laith and love, in
toces of filial endearment, in his prayerful
apneuis, 'Father, take me home.' 'Dear Jesus,
help me.' The hvinn we shall presently slug
he loved to hear read to him."
Alter tin exhortntion to his hearers to follow
the teachings of Chri tiuuity, the preacher
closed, and the hymn referred to as General
Cuss' favorite was sung. It was that beginning:
"How firm a foundation, re saints of the Lord."
A benediction was then pronounced by Bishop
McCloskey, and the choir chanted an original
requiem while the coffin was being removed.
The remains, escorted by a military guard of
honor, were conveyed to Llmwood Cemetery,,
and alter a prayer by Dr. Dutlleld and Masonic
ceremonies, were deposited In toeir last resting
plaee. ..
. Base Ball.
SHALL WE PAY OUR I'LAYEKS ?
There is a gieat deal of talk just now in base
bail circle as to whether base ball nrst nine
players should be paid. Sectiou 3!) says: "No
player wro shall at any time receive compensa
tion lor bis services hb a plaver shall be compe
tent to plav In any match." This would appear
to settle the question; but we are assured that
one or two, perhaps more, ot the prominent
clubs ot the country, are in the habit of paying,
directly and indirectly, some of their players.
Ot course, all who break the law will not too
curiously interrogate rival ciubs; but all others,
beioie bcginnina a match, should put the Presi
deut or Vice-President on the witness stand to
answer, on honor, whether there aie any
player on the nine who receive pay lor their
services. This, we hear, will be the rule here
after, and It will Oe louud to work advan
tageously for the best interests of our noble
nutional game. Let the hired men take notice.

DEATH BY TRICHINA.

la Ham.
Cedar Raiidh, Iowa, Juno 20. I Inclose a
slip ot our local pap r here about trichina.
Since that was written two more have died
(one this morninir) by tbis tenible disease.
The symptoms seem in early stages to be similar
to typhus lever, headache, pain in the breast,
aching In the muscles, paleness of fac, etc.
The ham of which they rat was cured by a son
living in the country, and seemed to be sound.
Alter the nature ot th disease was proved, a
piece of the same cured meat wiw given, as an
experiment, to a sow in a pen. She devoured it,
aud in three days had the so-called hog cholera
(prevaleut in the Weft lor the last yeari. She
was dead in a few days, and pieces of her
muscles were examiued uuder the microscope,
and disclosed tie tact that the trichina and hog
cholera have one origin. Yesterday we had
tho rumor here thut another family of seven,
some miles north of Mariou, are down with the
same disease.
Trichina. Our community has, with reason,
been considerably excited on the sublect of
Irichina during the past week. A family Darned
B ni s, residing in Mariou, consisting of eioht
ptrcons, seven of whom had eaten raw ham,
were taken sick. The peculiarity of the diseaie,
and the fact that the one which bad not eaten
oi tliP pork was not sick, aroused suspicion that
their sickness was in some wav connected with
eatinc the pork. The mat was examined and
great numbers of the worms were louud in it.
A portion of the muscle, taken irom different
parts of the body ot the first one that died, was
also examined under a microscope, and trichina
in great numbers were plainly discovered. At
the present writing three of the family have
died, and the remaining four are in a critical
condition. We examined a portion of muscle
taken from one of the bodies, and are satisfied
there is no mistake about it. We saw the worms
as plainly under the microscope as we ever saw
maggots in flesh with the naked eye. They are
ugly-looking customers, and we feel no desire
for forming a more intimate acquaintance with
them. Heretofore we have been rather incredu
lous concerning this question, but now we are
sufficiently convinced as to forego the pleasure
of eating any more ho,: meat at present cooked
or uncooked. A. Y. Irthune.
A Johnson National Convention.
The National Union (Johnson) Club of Wash
ington have issued their call tor a National
Union Coovention, to be hla at Philadelphia
on the 14th of August next. The circular is
signed by Randall, Doolittle, Browning, Cowan,
and others, and the call is pronounced O. K. by
such loyal lixhts as Nesmiih ot Oregon and
Hendricks of Indiana. The call is as follows:
"A National Union Convention of at least two
delegates Irom each Congressional District of all
the States, two irom each Territory, two from
the District of Columbia, and four delegates at
larne from each, will be.heldatthe city of Phila
delphia on the Hth of August next. Such
delegates will be chosen by tho electors of the
several States who sustain the Administration
in maintaining unbroken the Union of the States
under the Constitution which our lathers esta
blished, and who agree in the loll owing propo
sitions, viz.:
"The Uuion of the Staes is in every case in
dissoluble, and is perpetual, and the Constitu
tion ol the United States, and the laws passed
by Congiess in pursuauce thereof, are bupreate,
constant and universal in their obligation.
'"The rights, tne dignity, and the equality of
the States in toe Union, inclu tins; the rieht of
representation iu Cougres s, are solemnly guaran
teed by that Constitution, to iav which from
overth! ow so much blood and treasure were ex
pended in the late civil war.
"There is uo rieht anywhere to dissolve the
Union, or to separate States fro.u the Uniou,
either by voluntary withdrawal, by force of
arms, or by Congressional action, neither by
secession of States, nor by the exclusion ot their
loyal and qualified Representatives, nr.r by the
National Government in any other form.
"Slavery is abolished, and neither can nor
ought to be re-established in any State or Terri
tory withiu our Jurisdiction.
"Each State has the undoubted rieht to pre
scribe the qualifications of its own electors; aud
uo external power rightfully can or ought to
dictate, control, or influence the tree and volun
tary action of the States in the eiercise of that
right.
"The maintenance inviolate of the rights of I
the States, and especially ot the nehts of each
State to order and control its own domestic con
cerns accordingto its own Judgment exclusively,
sulject only to the Constitution of the United
States, is essential to thut balance ot pow er on
which the perfection and endurance ol our
political fabric depend, and the overthrow ot
that tysteni by usurpation in centralization of
power in Congress would be a revolution, dan
gerous to a republican Government, and de
structive of liberty. Each House of Congress is
made, by the Constitution, the sole judgu of its
election returns and qualifications ot its mem
bers, but the exclusion of loyal Senators and
Representatives, properly chosen and qualified
under the Constitution and laws, is unfut aud
revolutionary. Every patriot should frown
upon all these acts and proceedings everywhere,
which can serve no other purpose than to re
kinole the animosities of war, and the effect of
which upon our moral, social, and material inte
rests at home, and our standiug abroid, dilfering
only in a degree, is injurious, like wariteelf. The
purpose of the war having been to pre
serve tho Union and the Constitution, by
putting down the Rebellion, and the Re
tell ion having been suppressed, all re
sistance to the authority of the general
Government being at an end, and the war hav
ing ceased, war measures should also cease, and
should be followed by measures of peaceful
administration, so that union, harmony, and
industry, commerce and the arts of peace be re
vived and promoted, and the esrly restoration
of all the States to toe exerc se ot their constitu
tional powers in the National Government is
indispensably necessary to the i-treugth and the
defense of the republic and to the maintenance
of the public credit. All such electors in the
tblrt.v-six States aud nine Territories of the
United States, and of the District of Columbia,
who, in a spirit ot patriotism and love for the
Union, cun rise above personal and sectional
considerations, aud who desire to see a truly
National Union Convention, which shall repre
sent a'l the States and Territories of the Union,
assembled as friends and brothers under the
national flag, to bold council together upon the
slate of the Uniou, and to take measures to
avert possible daugers from the same, are espe
cially requested to tube purt in the choice of
such delegates.
"But no delegate will take a seat in such
convention who does not loyally acceot the
national situation and cordially endorse the
principles above set foith, and who is not
attached in true allegiance to the Constitution,
tho Union, and the Government ot the United
States.

mokp. Julia G. Tyler vs. David L. Gardiner
and others. Gilbert, J. The due execution of
the will, its attestation conformably to the
Btattlte, ard the testable capacity of the testa
trix,, were conceded upou the argument. Upon
the evidence these matters ainuit of no dispute
Ihe bill wa contested beiore the Surroga e
tuccessfullv, upon the ground that it was pro
cured by Airs. Tyler by means ot undue influ
ences; and we are to determine whether the
evidence establishes, or, as milter of law,
whether it tends to establish this lact. It will
le well In the outset to ascertain the 1 .gal signi
fication of this pnrase, "under influence." It Is
evident, from tho frequency of cat.es of tbis
kind, tti at very loose notions on the subject are
prevalent. It may not be, and probably Is not,
practicable, to reduce the cases into a systematic
classification. Still, upon all the cases, as well as
upon principle, it seem clear that no influence
is "undue" in contemplation ot law, which
has not in it the clement ot compulsion, or arti
fice, or fraud. "A put on has a lUht by lair
atgniuent or persuasion to induce another to
make a will in his own favor" (Blanchurd vs.
.esip, 3 Den. 4), evm to the exclusion of
others who may appear to have equal claims
tipm his bounty. The riiht of testamentary
deposition in favor of beneficiaries who are
qtuilihed to take, is, and on grounds of public
policy ought to be, absolute. Having examiued
the evidence attentively, we have found in it
nothing tending to prove that Mrs. Tyler used
PL, influence (certainly none that was "undue")
to procure the making of the will iu question.
The ourden was upon the contestant,
not to beget surmises and suspicions, but
to prove lacts tullieient to satisfy the
understanding and conscience, that his sister
had done something culpable or illegal,
ane that this affected some provision of the w ill.
This he utterly (ail to do, and gave no proot
tending to that ellect. The suggestion tbat the
villi was made under a misapprehension on the
part ot the testatrix that her son, the contestant,
was indebted to her lor money advanced by her
tow ards the purchase of his farm In North field,
is ol little importance. The testatrix never had
a loinial settlement ot accounts with the con
testant. He had managed her estate fur many
eais, and bad k pt no account ot his mother's
Income apart from his own; aud although he
testifies, generally, that he bought his larm
with his own money, yet. Irom the manner iu
which his mother'') business was transacted,
it is not strange that she was under the im
pression that her money had been used in
the purchase ol the larm. We think that
the only intent manifested by the clause
in the will, discharging the contestant Irom
liability lor advances for the purchase of his
farm, was to put an end to doubt, and to pre
vent litigation on that subject alter her death.
The other lacts which the Surrogate deemed
sufficient to put Mrs. Tiler to prool to sustain
the will, we regard as insufficient to raise a
question a lo its validity. The decree ot the
Surrogate is reversed, and the case lsreraittel
with directions to "admit the will to probate.

Tne Tennessee Delegation. As it is proba
ble that the Congressional delegation Irom Ten
nessee will be admitted immediately upon the
adaption by that State of the Constitutional
amendment, It is of interest to know what sort
of men it has sent. The Senators are Joseph S.
Fowler and David T. Patterson. Fowler is said
to be a moie able man than his colleague, and
has always I'ecn au anti-slavery man. 11 is
doubted whether Putterson can take the oath,
since be served the Confederacy as a conscript
ludge. The Representatives, in the order ot
districts, are Colonel N. B. Taylor, Hoiace Ma.v
nard, William B. Stokes, Edward Cooper, Wil
liam B. Campbell, Dorsey H. Thomas, Colonel
Isaac R. Hawkins, and John W. Leftwicn.
Colonel Taylor is well knoA-nin the North lor
bis etlorts'in obtaining relief tor destitute East
Tennessee Unionists during the war. Stokes
and Maynard have been making radical speeches
throughout the North during the session of
Congress. Colonel Hawkins served gallantly in
the Union army. He is Irom Emerson Ethe
ridge's district. All these, with Cornell aud
Leuwich, can take the oath without mental
reservation; so can Campbell. It Is rumored
that Mr. tooper, who v. now the President's
privute secretary, eave funds towards recruiting
soiaiers lor tne neoei army. stoKes, fowler,
and Cornell have pronounced in favor of im
partial suffrage, aim urged the Tennessee Legis

The Rema'kable Dank Robbery In Maine
The Casbiok's Accovnt.
The robbery of the Village Bank of Bowdoil
ham, Me., on nday morning, by a party of rob
bers. wa one o th exfraorriiaarv perfcr nances
of these times. The robbers carried off every
dollar contained in the sa es, amoun'iog in all
to about 75,(jOO. Tho robbery was one which
for boldness ot exectirlin and originality ot con
c ption i- rreL- exec led. Theficts, as related
pv Mr. Bu.tei held, cashier ot the bunk, are as
follows:
At abont 2 o'cloek in the morning Mr. Butter-
field savs that he was aroused from his slumber
by r ceiving a blow upon the head, which for a
moment stunned him, aud upon awaking saw
ttiiee men, their laces diseuised with musk,
standing by h s bedside, armed with plstoli and
kn'ves, who immcdiatelv spized4him and de
manded the keys of the bank.
io this Mr. Butterfleld made no reply, where
upon he was tied with small cords, be iu bound
band and loot, and a gag placed in his mouth,
made ol a pillow-cae, w hie i one of the rfetlians
took Irom the bcl. Not complying with. tlie
demand which was made, Mr. Butterfleld was
then violently choked until he was forced to
tell, wh.ch he did by pointing where the keys
were concealed. In the same bed lay a little
son of Mr Butterfield, about eigLt year of age,
who was seized at the same time, and bound in
a similar manner as h.s father.
The screams of the boyavoke his mother,
who was asleep in au adloimng chamber with a
sick inlant, who, on rising up in bed, to ind thit
tnv ui iuh ruuiaus, wnu, us iuov vuiere 1 tuc
room, had extirguished her light, whom -he
beheld by the ad ot a dark lantern they had,
were standing over her, and who threatened, if
she made the least distuibance, to take tho life
ol her inlant.
"We do not want your lives," they sa'd; "we
lave been in this bloody war and it's money we
wunt." "We want the money in the bank."
She was then left in the care of one of the
scoundrels, who acted as a guard over her,'
another performing the same service in her
husband' J room, while the third, who had pos
session of the keys, descended the front stair
case and joiniug a companion who was watching
outside, proceeded to the bank, which was but
a short distance Irom the house.
The building was entered at once, and the
door ot the vault, which is located on the
ground floor, was opened, and the outer door of
the sale, which was inside the vault, was un
locked. But. the insi le door ot the safe, which
wa'oneof Hall's patent locks, they could not
unlock; whereupon olc of the party returned
to Mr. Buttei field's residence, and, with the one
w ho was watching him, unpiuioncd his feet and
look him to the bauk, where they forced him to
open the door.
After this, was accomplished they then
rebound him and at oneo proceeded to clear the
sae of its entire contents, which they placed In
a bag.
Mr Butterfleld was then convejed back to his
bouse and placed in his chamber. His wile was
then bound and ragged, after which procedure
the robbers decamped witb their booty.
During this time Mrs. B. waj not conscious
that her husband bad been taken from the
house. She was assured that he was perfectly
safe and uninjured. At her request her little
boy was brought into her room, who was suf
fering very much by the tightness of the cord
around bis ankles.
Ac the request of his mother the cord was
loosened bv one of the robbers, by which means
the bov subsequently was enabled to unloosen
himself and alarm two domestics In a rear cham
ber of the house, who, after considerable dslav,
occasioned by lright, came to the rescue, and
ail the parties were released.
Mr. Butterfleld then at once proceeded to the
bouse of Mr. Carr, one of the directors of the
Dank, mid informed him of what had taken
place. The news of the robbery was ihen at
once made known, and sped like wilddre
throughout the village.
Pursuit was made in different directions by
the cit zens. it is supposed thut tho robbers,
after bev had plundered the safe, took their
flight in'a d rection, according to indications
found in a piece of woods near the road, to
Brunswick, where were also found several pairs
of stockiDgs. pieces of cord, an 1 a Montreal
newspaper, bearing date of the loth inst.
The President ot the bank has ottered a re
ward ol $5000, as lollows: $3000 will be paid
for the recovery of the bonds and money, or a
proportio nate sum tor a less amount, and $2000
w ill be paid lor the apprehension ot the thieves.
Condition of the Iiish Republican Army.
We have been requested to publish the fol
lowing: Oily and County of ATcw York, ss. We, the
under-ieued, do each of us, ot our o vn tree
will and accord, without anv tear or hop of
reward therefor, solemnly swear to the truth of
the statements herein contained'
Pelng all ot no but a short time away from
Ireland, and members of the Irish republican
aimv there, we leel fully qualified to speak as
to the efficiency, number, aud determination of
the "men in the gap." In this respect, we
solemnly aver, to the best of our belief, each
judging from his own district, that in j oint of
numbers, the organization was never so nume
rous. As to the determination of the men, we
candidly state that most of the trouble expe
rienced by officers of the organization is
to restrain the men, and although the
wholesale arrests of all suspected parties
have in some cases Interfered with communica
tion with the Executive, yet in the main they
aie intact, and in sp te of the immense pol ce
und spy system brought to bear against our
men, that ft is a pioof ot the wonderful perfec
tion of the plans on which the Chiet Orgaaiaer,
James Stephens, has banded so large a mass ot
men together. As a further proof of our full
belief in the truth of the foregoing statement,
we each of us pledge our readiness to return
and fight for our country's independence, when
ever called upon by our Deloved chief. Aud
h re we state in answer to the numerous slan
ders, bints, and muendoee, asserting that James
Stevens is a British spv, and that he was let out
o t rison by the Briti.-h authorities, that the
lersons who utter these calumnies are onsid
ered by our trienJs at home as enemies ot the

The New York Tribune this morning says:
"The recent elections beld by the Mihvaus.ee
and Prairie du Cblen and M lwaukeeand St
Paul's Railroad Companies, which have put the
manaeement of these properties into the band
ol the Sc. Paul people.coinpietes what was known
as the Prairie du Chieu corner.' It was not a
'corner' at the commencement, but control of
the stock was obtained by the St. Paul people,
ror the purpose of stopping a system ot manage
ment bv which the two roads used about $300,000
annually which should have been used tor divi
dends. Many operators in Wall street, who had
no idea that tbo Prairie du Chien road was so
valuable in connection with the M. Paul, sold it
largely short, and were baoly punished. Some
ot them mieht have been ruined If the St. Paul
peoole had been so disposed: but instead of
taking the last money from ihe bears, m03t
liberal settlements were made with parties who.
were the cases reverst-d, would aot have been
lnduleent."
The New York Times of this morning says :
"The new Tarlil' bill is reponeu. but nothing
i yet known as to when its provis.ons are liko'y
to lake etfect. A private t-letfram Irom Wash
ington intimates tbat the bill will not ret
tbiough both houses of Congress in season to
bike ellVct beiore the first of August. This was
the couree of legislation m the summer of 1862.
The new bill of that session was not perfected
in time for the 1st July, aud it was therefore
made to go into operation the 1st August follow
ing. It is possible, however, that the actun of
Congress may be hastened on tho present occa
sion, and we give the above telegram only .as a
rumor.''
The New York Herald this morning says:
"The money market is slugglishlv easy al 4di
5 per cent., the lower rate being the prevailing
one to first-class borrowers. The wants of the
Stock Exchange, owing to th dulness of busi
ness, are limited, and tne supply ot capital Keek
ing employment is therefore in exess of the
demand. In the discount line drt-class com
mercial paper Is taken at 6(a)0 per cent., with
exceptions at 67 lor long dmes. The state
ment of the associated banks for the week hhow
an increase ol $1,061,214 in le?al-tender notes, of
$1,135,201 in loans, and $697,518 in circulation.
The deposits have decreased $146,388. owin?
mainly to a light drain Westward to move the
wool crop. The specie has lurtuer decreased to
the extent of $2,713,209, in consequence of the
customs and export demand, and the balance in
all the Clearing House banks is now reduced to
$8,504,096."
