THE FUNERAL OF MR. PEADOl) 1".
Funeral ceremonies will lako placa to-day in
London over the remains of the lale George
reabody, the Quoen, tho minialors, and all
classes of society uniting to pny extraordinary
lionors to his memory, and to testify in the
most unmistakable manner to their apprecia
tion of his philanthropic Rervicea. The
Queen, during Mr. Teabody's life-tiine, in a
tight royal but womanly manner endeavored
to show to Mr. Peabody how deeply she was
touched by his magnificent gifts to tho poor
of London, and the presentation of her por
trait and tho writing of an autograph letter,
although of themselves but small returns for
the more than royal generosity of the Ameri
can merchant, were all thnt her Majesty had
power to do tindor tho circumstances; they
were complete and emphatic expressions of
her feelings, and as such were appreciated
by Mr. Toabody and by the world at largo.
As soon as the death of Mr. Peabody was
Announced the Queen mado haste to show her
deep regret and her respect for his memory,
by ordering that his funeral services should
be performed in Westminster Abbey, and that
his remains should be interred in the royal
vault until their transmission to America. It
is doubtful whether such honors as these have
ever been conferred upon a foreigner before
in England, much less upon a simple citizen.
rnt this American had a royal soul, and, in
his enlightened philanthropy and practical
benevolence, in the bestowal of his immense
wealth for the benefit of his less fortunate
fellow-creatures, ho set an example that the
wealthy princes and nobles of England might
well follow.
A funeral in Westminster Abbey, and
an interment in the royal vault, can add noth
ing to the estimation in which Mr. l'eabody's
good deeds are held, but they are important
as showing the desire on the part of the Queen,
in particular, to testify in tho strongest man
ner to the value of his services. A war vessel
has been ordered to convey the remains of
Mr. Peabody to America, and with this last
mark of respect the public honors to his
memory by the English Government will end.
The dwellings erected by his money for the
deserving poor of London will remain, how
ever, as permanent monuments to keep the
. memory of his good deeds ever fresh in tho I
minds of succeeding generations. '
STATUE OF ADMIRAL STEWART. J
A resolution was passed yesterday in Com- i
mon Council creating a joint committee of
three from each Chamber to erect n bronze
statue of Admiral Charles Stewart, at an ex
pense not exceeding !1 ,(), which, when it
reached the Select llrauch, was referred to the
Finance Committee. There is no doubt that
the great naval hero richly deserves this testi
monial of respect, Riid wc hope the time will
come when Fairmount Park will be bt'i ld"l
with marble and bronze mementoes of patri
otic and distinguished Philadclphians. Hut
we doubt whether, in tho prosent condition of
the oity's finances, any considerable sum of
money should be appropriated to this or any
bimilar purpose which is likely to be attained
through the liberality of wealthy private citi
zens. The movement recently made at the
Commercial Exchange indicates that that body
has a disposition to undertake the task
in question, and if such bo its purpose.
Councils may very wisely and properly ab
stain from all interference in the project be
yond the grant of permission to erect the
statue on an appropriate portion of the public
grounds, and the appropriation of a small
sum for incidental expenses. Heretofore tho
erection of statues has been left exclusively
to private associations, and it is scarcely
worth while to depart from this custom at a
time when the present and prospective de
mands upon tho treasury far exceed the ex
isting revenues, and when real estate is sub
jected to a rata of taxation almost unparalleled
in fiuancial annals.
THE CENSUS OF 1870.
Councils yesterday adopted a resolution pro
viding for the appointment of a joint spe
cial committee of live members from each
chamber to eonfer with the United States
authorities in regard to tho preliminary
arrangements for the next census, so far as it
affects this city. Tho necessity of some
action of this kind was made painfully mani
fest by the census returns of lsiit), which gave
a very imperfect and incomplete report of
our wealth and population. This subject do
serves the most attentive consideration.
There is a rapid inorcase in tho praotical
value of statistics, and the uses to which
they are applied; aad it is a serious disadvan
tage, in many respects, to a community to bo
rated below its proper rank. The municipal
system of gathering statistics, although it has
been greatly improved during the last few
years, is still imperfect, but this is
owing in a great measure to tho
desire to avoid the burthens of taxation. It
baa been proposed, in the national census, to
make a full and correct statement of all the
facts bearing upon wealth, population, and
proporty paramount to all other objects, and
to give every possible assurance that tho cen
sus returns will not be used in any way as a
basis for either national, State, or municipal
taxation. If this understanding uuivcrsully
prevailed, tho city, in co-operation with tho
national olucer?, bhoid J bo, able to seciro a
Tory close apprxluibtlou to the actual truth.
ia all important statistical matters; and while
facts affecting individuals would be carefully
concealed from the public gaze, tho aggre
gates would be faithfully summed up, and the
world enlightened "in regard to our true
standing.
THE TWELFTn AN1 SIXTH EXT 1 1
STREETS RAILWA V.
The authors of the Twelfth and Hixloenlh
Streets Passenger Railway project suffered
that enterprise to lie dormant until the elec
tions were over. They evidently feared that
if the people wore reminded during the ides
of October of the shameless manner in which
the bill had been hurried through tho Legis
lature, they would give an expression to their
indignation at the polls which would be
neither complimentary nor agreeable. But
fts soon as the political results were officially
declared, arrangements were made to tear up
the doomed streets without tho sanction of
tho city authorities; and a resolution was
adopted by Common Council yesterday in
structing tho Chief Commissioner of High
ways to report by what authority
th y are now tearing up Twelfth street. It
remains to be seen whether this demonstra
tion is to be vigorously followed up by a
full test of the right of the Legislature to
grant valuable franchises, created at the ex
pense of the city, to its favorites, without
so much as saying "by your leave. ' If the
principle of such legislation is tamely recog
nized, it is only a question of time when the
right to build passenger railways on Broad
street will be granted to partisan schemers,
and when the thoroughfares of i'nirmount
Park are also handed over to their tender
mpreips. I
OBITUARY.
The Hon. Anion Kendall.
Tiik death of the Hon. Robert J. Walker at tin;
national cupilul Is followed quickly lj that or u man
who was even more powerful In the councils of the
nation lu the (Iii.t of Ills prime, and w ho was pos
sessed of many rare powers of mind, which fruve
him a substantial claim to tho honor of statesman
ship. Between the years i?co and is-10, the maa
whose name heads this article was regarded as one
of the most potential in the nation. The following
extract from Miss Martliicau's "Retrospect of
Western Travel," written in is:;;, gives a vivtd drs
seriptionof the almost suix-rsiltious awe in which
the power behind the throne of Jackson was held:
"1 was foimimte enouth once to cutellii glimpse
of the invisible Amos Kendall, one of tlic miisl re
markable men in America. He id supposed t) be
the moving spring of the whele administration; the
I hinker, planner and doer; but lr is ail In the dark.

Kendall was Iraning en a chair, with head bead bent
down and i.vc t'laucln;: up at member of (..'oiifjress
with whom he was In eanio?n coiivcroalioii. ami in a
tew minulcs he was "'inc."
This remarkable mm, whose death occurred at an
curly hour this morning iu Washington, was bora at
Diihsiabie, Jiiiss., rdi die Hiili of August, 17S;, and
he h:d ihen foro I ally completed his ci'tlitfcth year
before his Intense vitality was overcome by tho
liodily iuliriolUcs which had for years aillicted him,
and blanched his hair to pcrlcct whiteness even be
fore he had pas -ed the period of middle age. His
fal her, who was a farmer, being iu cry strnitened
circumstances, he U1 noti'iijoy early opportunities
lor obtaltiiii; an education, but such was his energy
and perseverance that he prepared himself for enter
iny Dartmouth college in a single year. Commencing
his college career In 1st)", he graduated in lsl 1 at the
head of his class, notwithstanding the fact that he
was frequently obliged to absent himself from at
tendance upon the elass-'S, to obtain by school
teaching the means required for his support.
Immediately alter leaving college he entered upon
the study of the law with W. IJ. Kicliardson, a pro
minent lawyer or Groton, Massachusetts, who sub
sequeiitly became Chief Justice of New Hampshire,
and was admitted to the bar iu the spring of Isu.
He then emigrated to Kentucky, and engaged la the
practice of lua profession; but, although lie ulti
mately at tallied a high rauk as a lawyer, his success
at first was so meagre that he was aain forced to
resort to school teaching as a means of support.
J Uullig this period lie was cmpl.iyed forsomo time
as a tutor in the family of Henry Clay, ltrmoving to
(Jcorgetown subsequently, he received tho appoint
ment of I'ostmsster, the only uillco ever held by him,
with the exception of a position In the Cabinets of
Jackson and Van liureif.
Having edited u newspaper with marked success
In the Intervals of his other occupations, lie was, In
Islfi, received upon the stall' of The .! of H'eshrn
A merira, tho leading Democratic journal of Ken
tucky, published at Frankfort, the capital of tho
State. In this position he rapidly acquired a high
reputation us a political writer, ami soon caruo into
the exercise of a wide Influence lu political aU'airs.
Hut aside from his political labors, he conferred a
lasting benellt upon his adopted state, by becoming
one of the first to secure the establishment of a
common school system in Kentucky, atid it was owing
to his efforts that the passage of au act by the Lcgls
lature was procured to district the State, and to set
opart one-half of the proiits of the State Bank to
constitute a school fund.
INIr. Kendall had been a warm admirer and earnest
supporter of Andrew Jackson, and when the latter
at last succeeded, lu V'2:i, in forcing his way
into the Presidential chair, ho received au ap
pointment from the new administration as Fourth
Auditor of the Treasuiy. This position he retained
until lsiir,; but, although is was of comparative un
importance within itself, tho incumbent made hia
mark In the policy of tho Covernmeiif from tho very
start. He at once acquired great renown
as being tho prlmo mover In the
policy of tho Jackson administration,
being credited with the authorship of the most Im
portant blato papers emanating I rom it, and the In
vention of the ino;;t radical measures adopted by It.
Coupled with this was, as a mater of course, a cor
responding degree of odium with tho opposition, so
that, while Amos Kendall was held in awe by the ad
herents of tho administration, ho was, In no less de
gree, an otiject of hatred with its foes. His services
to Jackson were or such great value, that on tho 1st
of May, is:ir, ho was received Into the Cabinet as
l'ostniaskr-tieneral. Previous to Jackson's admin
istration, tho PoUiiuster-(icncral was regarded
lncrilyBS the fc'.aJef it bureau tti 'id u!d not have a

irtire he Invited his first Postmaster-General,
llllnm V. Harry, of Kentucky, to a participation In
Hie rtls,i ussloiiB of;the Cabinet, and the Incumbent of
the ortlre has ever since bcn regarded as one of the
constitutional advisers of the Exerntive. Mr. Ken
dall was continued la the position !y Martin Van
llurcn until the last year of the latter' administra
tion, holding the office a little over five years. When
he entered upon the duties or the oillce he found the
department In a state of embarrassing disorder and
Indebtedness. Within a single year he succeeded In
completely reorganizing it and relieving It of tho In
debtedness wlrfch had been so grievously felt there
tofore; and, In l&;o, Congress adopted a plan sug
gested by him for placing it upon a substantial and
effcctlvo working basis. It Is no small credit to his
sagacity to state that from that day to this there has
licen no material change In tho working of tho post
office system of tho country, which, as It at present
exists, is a substantial monument to the memory or
Amos Kendall.
In the latter part of May, 140, Mr. Kendall re
tired from the Cabinet, for the purpose of enlisting
nil his energies In the momentous Presidential
struggle which was then Impending. The success
of the Whigs put a lemporury termination to his
public career, which he chose to make permanent,
refusing at the hands of President Polk a foreign
mission, and devoting his entire time honccforth to
the practice of his profession in Washington, where
he continued to reside from the time or his with
drawal from the Cabinet to his last Illness, l'or
several years iiTer his retirement rrom public life he
was embarrassed by a suit against him Instituted by
certain mall contractors, but this was ultimately de
cided lu his lavor by the Supremo Court of the
Vnltcd f tates, and rrom the proceeds or his success
ful practice at the bar ho lei t at his death an estate
worth half a million of dollars, consisting princi
pally of land investments in Washington and Chi
cago. Among the most Important of his legal
achievements were those iu connection Willi the
magnetic telegraph, Professor Morse having em
ployed him for years as his counsel iu the multitu
dinous litigations arising from infringements upon
his Invention. Mr. Kindull, although exercising
such potent Influence in the affairs of the country at
one period, leaves scarcely anything as a permauent
evidence of his great ability, except the admirable
postal Eystcm which he Inaugurated. His only work
was "A Life of Andrew Jackson, Private, Military,
and ( ivil," commenced in 18-14, but never completed.

Wooden vs. Paper Kont.
Mr. MephtTi Huberts, of this city, In answer to the
challenge alluded to in the Time of Friday, as hav
ing been put forward by Waters, BaulchV Co., of
Troy, piper boat manufacturers, who took the lirst
medal at the late Fair, has sent us a letter, ia which
he says :
"What Mr. Waters calls a paper boat is two-thirds
wood. The stem is brass; the keel, seats, gunwales,
and washboards are of wood. All that is paper about
it is the outside covering. The judges (at tho Fair)
Knew more about soap than about boats. If they
had been boatmen, boat-builders, or boat-rowers,
they would not have asked to make a rocking-cradle
of a boat. The proper test, outside or rowing In the
water, is weight, and in that I beat Waters" by ten
pound.', besides having tweuty more Inches lu length
than his boat had. I urn ready to test my boat with
any boat that cau be built by him; but I should like
mm to make a real paper boat, not one two-thirds
wood, to row against mlue. Ho has tried several
roar-oared boats, and the oarsmen all condemned
them that Is, the paper part or them. My boat, was
not built to go to the Fair, but to be rowed by Walter
Brown iu Kughind. The steamship company re
fused to take her on Mr. Brown's terms, and I then
entered her iu the Fair, not expectiug to contend for
any prize."
In justice to Mr. Waters it must be Bald that he is
now exhibiting his boats at the Virginia State Fair
in Biclimnnd. For the Information of aquatic sports
meu we may mention that when he returns tho
relative merits of wood and paper bouts will be
thoroughly tested, as Mr. Waters is determined to
stand by his challenge. X. Y. Time.
