Hendricks and the People.

Writing from Indianapolis on the day of the funeral of Vice President Hendricks, the correspondent oi the Cincinnati commercial says* “A cold and critical world will ot leave untouch d and unassaileil the faults ard the fallings of the man whose body was laid to rest to-day amid impressive ceremonies and magnificent display, but one thing has been shown most conclusively, that whatever those faults and failings may hAveJbeec,one thing he had, the grandest thing that any man <mn die possessed of, viz: the hearts of the common people. From the high places of criticism and conceit, blemishes may|be discovered that the people looking up from the commou plane do not see; and so it was with Hendricks. He was of the people; one of the peoplefand ioved by the people; the men who hew and pound, and chop and plow and buildup, and in their blue jeans am. home-spun, they poured forth by the thousands into the Indiana capital to look for the last time upon his lace, and to do honor to e memory of the man bev believed to be their friend and one with them. Nothing about the funeral wwsso touching and pathetic as this ard it was far more impressive than tne display of the Cabinet and Repre-, en*atives,with ail their paraphernalia, an the soldiery, and political ogan-’ izations.and grandly decorated staffs and music and artillery, and bells and ciraperies--ail were less than the silent, modest and diffident tribute of attendance arid tears of the common people, who believed him to be'from and of hem, and their friend.
