It is understood that tbo Treasury Der aTtmcnt has serious doubts whether it can prevent smuggling, once the ports of entry arc removed from tbo eeabcard, and may therefore oppose their establishment in the interior ua that account. If, however, it can lo shown that the duUeuliy suggest J can be provided agaiDSt, there id litth doubt bat that Mr. NinLACic's Bill, in some form, will paes through Congress and ErarHville, with Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis, be established as points for the reception cf imported goods. This will bo a recognition of the eliiiuo cf our oify a3 a commercial point that can not fail to result to her advantage. The Evansvillo Courier, in a notice of the death of Mr. StantoD, after copying the rcmarki cf the Ohio Criiis upon his appointment to tho Supreme Bench, in which he is characterized as "rash, violent, arbitrary, unscrupulous, and corrupt," and that 'his name rcek3 with tho infamy ho acquired by his treachery, cruelty, and tyranny during tho war," asks: " Who so infidel that he cannot see tho hand of God in" tho removal of such a man, that he might not diajrraco tho Bench of tho Supremo Court? Such impotent and malicious raving i3 its own answer; but it is a little peculiar that the Slate Sentinel of :' aia city, on Saturday last, labored hard in a column article to prove that Mr. Stanton was a Democrat! One of these papers is for the "new departure," End tho other is not. Indianapolis Journal. The editor of the Courier has been sick for some time, and it is hardly fair to hold him responsible for the inconsiderate ravings of - "rattlebrained amateurs" temporarily supplying his place.

KX1UE.SSIIX F SV3fPATIIY. The Washington corrc?pondcnt cf the Cincinnati Gazette furnishes tho following particulars of Judge Stanton's sudden death, as wdl as tribute to his integrity and capacity: The joyousncES of this Christmas season is turned to t adncss for many hearts, by reason of the death of ExSecretary Stanton. lie made a name for severity and brusqueness while in the War JJepartment. but in envato life ha was no of the kindest and tcnderestofmen. Ilo showed the rough side of his character to disloyalty, or indecision and worthlcssness; but he was a patriot and sincere friend, and in social and fireside relations was tientle as a woman. To see him at the War OiEce, in troublous times, was one thing; to ace him in his own home, and surrounded by his family, was always a delight and a comfort. Doubtless there will be thosa to speak of him as cruel and implacable. Possibly they knew something of the Seere tary, but assuredly they never knew anything of the man. He broke down under the great, labors of tho war. The long period of rest that he required three vcars aeo. tha baso political treachery of Andrew Johnson denied to him. He could dio in his place it need be, but he could not desert tho country in her peril. 1 or some years ho has been afilicted with asthma, which to a certain extent impaired his activity, tnougn it did not touch his power ot mind. Last Summer he visited New England, hoping to recruit his health amid the mountains. The climate of the interior was not good for him, and he subsequently became tho guest of the Hon. Samuel Hooper, at a sea side place oa Capo Cod. A month of ocean breezes helped him, and he returned to Washington with his health considerably improved. The toils and anxieties of six years had, however, undermined his constitution, aud for tho last eight or ten weeks his friends have lived botween the hopo cf life. and tu9 fear of death. At times he was able to be about his business flr a few days and at other times he La3 been close:v confined to his bed and room. Three weeks ago yesterday, and to day. he argued a case befcro tho Supreme Court. Since tho 11th he ha3 not left his home. Last Sunday he kept his bed till after noon, but happened to be up when the President and Vioe President called in the evening to tender him a place on the Supreme Bench. He thought himselt improving then, and modestly expressed tho hopo and desire that he might render the country some further Ecrvicc. Ilo was able to see friends, who called during tho last three days to congratulate him on his well-deserved appointment, and the manner of this promotion and thecirstances attendant upon hi3 confirmation were undoubtedly a great source of pleasure and satisfaction. He lived long enough to seo that the nation was heartily grateful for his labors in its behalf, and then, like Lincoln, was r-truck down in the hour of victory. His condition last night was much eueh a3 it had been for a fortnight, and ho unusual anxiety or fears were felt on his account. The family were roused about one o'clock this morning to find that tho disease had taken a new and alarming turn. Surgeon General Barnes was at once called, but could do little for his relief, and he rapidly fell away from life, dying about three o'clock, from congestion of the heart, surrounded by all the members of. his family. The news of his death was a great shock to the city, anJ at first few persons could believe the report. His closing moments were caltn and peaceful, and for tho last half hour or so he was speechless. PREPARATION FOR THE OBSEQUIES. Washington, D. C, December 23. A meeting of Senators was held at the Capitol this morning to make arrangements to attend tho funeral of Hon. E. M. Stanton. Vice-President Collax, on motion of Senator Sumner, was called upon to preside. On taking the chair, he stated the purpose of the meeting, and in a few appropriate remarks alluded to the life and eminent public career cf the deceased. The following Senators were appointed a committee to prepare suitable resolutions and to make all the necessary aracgements for the attendance of Senators at the funeral of the deceased: Messrs. Hamlin, of Maine; Sherman, of Ohio; Scott, of Pennsylvania; Trumbull, of Illinois; Williams, of Oregon.

That we tender to his widow and family our sincere sympathy in their bereavement, and in token of our respect to his memory wo will in a body attend his funeral and follow his remains to the grave. 3. That a copy of these resolutions bo furniihed to the widow of the deceased. The members of tho House also held a meeting this morning, and among other business appointed a committee to draft resolutions of respect to the memcry of the late Hon. E. M. Staotoa. To-day was very generally observed. No business ?as transacted in the Departments. In' addition to the names published of pall-bosrers at the obsequies cf Mr. Stanton sre added those of Sen- '

At the request of the 'Justices of the Su preme Lonrt, concurred m y trie family, the arrangements are taken charge of by the War Department. Ia compliance with the wishes of tho family that . tho funeral should be strictly private, tbcre will be no military display; but in order that the general desire oi the public to join in the fnneral obsequies may bo gratified, oncers will be on the ground -to 3HSiB an appropriate position ia the procession to thofco who may appear at tbo appointed time. In deference of the expressed wish cf Mrs. Stanton, the coiiin containing the regains of Mr. Stanton v. ill bs closed ia' the chamberwhero.be died. After this is done, the body will bo removed to the parlor, where the fuoeral services will be performed. One hundred carriages have been engaged by the undertakers, and the Superintendent of -Police will detail asuilicicnt force to keep the crowd from obstructing tho streets in the way of the funeral. The last visit of Mr. Stanton to the Executive Mansion was on Wednesday, when he called to thank the President for bis Appointment as As sociate Justico. Tho commission of Mr. Stanton as Associate Justice bad not been signed at the time of his death, but in the course of the day th President appended his signature, and sent the paper to bis widow as a mark ot respect. MEETING OF THE HOUSE OF REPRE 8E3TATIVE3. A meeting of tho members of the House of Representatives was held yesterday, Mr. H. L. Dawe3 in the chair, and Mr. Butler, of Tennessee, Secretary. Representative Hooper, of Massa chusetts, and Garfield, of Ohio, were appointed a committee to confer with Senators in reference to the death of Mr. Stanton. They reported that tho Senators were in Eession, when a com mittee. consisting ot lvoDresentatives Hooper, Garfield, Poland and Judd, was appointed to draft suitable resolu tions, which were read, as follows: Resolved, That we have received in formation of the death of Hon. E. M. Stanton with unaffectod sorrow, and that, in common with the whole American people, we mourn hia loss. and express grateful remembrance of his public services. Resolved, lhat we tender to his widow and family our sincere sympa thy in their bereavement, and aa a to ken of our respect to his memory we will attend bis luncral in a body Resolved That a copy of these proceedings be furnished to tho widow ot the deceased. " H. L. Dawes. Cbairman R. B. Butler. Secretary. Senator Sherman, on behalf of the Senators and Representatives, Eubse quently had an interview with Mrs. Stanton and expressed to her the do sire th-.t tho body should bo removed to the Hall of the House of Renrc scntatives, where tho funeral services should be conducted. Mrs. Stanton feelingly expressed tier gratitude lor this murk of ro spect, but owing to her grief and ill health she would be unable to be present i.t the Capitol; for this reason she was not at liberty to assent to such an arrangement. Afterwards it was suggested that the services be held at the Church of the Epiphany, as offering greater opportunities lcr attendance. But this was also declined. Tho funeral will, therefore, take place from tho Lite residence of the deceased. Tho ceremonies will be conducted by Rev. Dr. Starkie, assisted by Rev. Dr. Sparrow, of the Alexandria Episcopal Seminary. Cincinnati, iJecembcr 23. The Custom House, United States Depository, Pension Office, and other Government offices, will close on Monday, on account of the funeral of Stanton. Tho flags were lowered to half-mast on receipt of the news of his death, and will continue so until after his funeral. New York, Dec. 2o. At a large epccial meeting of the Union League Club, last night, V. 0. Bryant offered resolutions of respect to the late Hon. E M. Stanton, which were unanimously adopted, and a committee appointed to attend the funeral of tho deceased. PiTTScuua, Dec. 2d. Mayor Brush issued a proclamation calling a general meeting of tha citizens to take action oa the death ot Hon. E. M.
