Nature’s Benediction. New York, August 9.—In the early morning when the 9un first lighted up the sky, a thin veil ot clouds, like a curtain of white lace, helped the light wind that stirred the tree tops to cool the air and offset the heat of the rays of the midsummer- sun. The population of the great city had bounded from its ordinary limit at a million and a half to very much nearer two millions, and citizens and strangers, side by side, were early in the streets, seeking vantage points from which to view the obsequies of the Nation’s hero. In most of the streets were litjle broken, Irregular lines of men and women moving toward Broadway or its Northern continuation, In the other streets that end in the great mouth-like ferry-slips were denser, broader processions always toward Broadway. A little later, armed and uniformed lines, symmetrical and moving like solid bodies, penetrated the city from the sides as if there had been a capitulation after a siege. They marched up from the battery across from the North ltiver over the Brooklyn Bridge and In from the East River ferries. The people no longer moved in thread-like lines; they poured out of all the houses and rushed hither and thither, Jostling and pushing to get to Broadway and afterward to get good standing places there. KThe ear then shared the enjoyment with the eye, for there came through the air the blare and clash of great bands, the shrill thin music of fifes, the rat-a-plan of drums and the sound ot thousands treading in unison. Only a little later came other bodies in gayer uniforms out of the avenues and on, like all the rest, to Broadway. Thus the city prepared itself to provide and to witness the solemn ceremonies attendant on the burial of II. S. Grant. The day is likely ever to be a notable one in the city’s history. For the historian, the scene at the tomb where the victors and the vanquished in the war of the rebellion clasped hands and mingled their tears before the populace will seem most Important, and for all who had any share in the day’s demonstration the enormous number of persons who gathered here to see the cortege and the burial will seem as remarkable, though less importaut. The procession by itself was beautiful, but by no means large or peculiar in any respect. There were only 33.0U0 men in line and allot them were seen by the few who gathered along the few blocks between that point at which the last organization fell Into line and that other point at which the majority quitted the line ot march. There was one unique fea*■-’» of the military demonstration. All who took part in it themselves saw all the rest in line. A bird’s-eye view revealing the method which brought this about would have been interesting. PORTING. When General Hancock, commanding the federal troops, marched up from t he Battery, and the last of the line had passed the marble hall in which the hero’s remains have been lying in state, the immediate bodyguard and escort with the funeral carpassed out of the City Hall Park and Joined the regular troops on Broadway. There, drawn up along the east side of Broadway, witli guns at “present,” or the equivalent of that position with those who had no guns, were in one line, the militia, the veteran organizations and the Grand Army posts, which in their turn and at the proper points wheeled in behin l the body they had reviewed, lengthening it and going with it. The sahle-curtainedtvestibule of the City Hall at daybreak presented a scene like a tableau of a court of death. The setting was like that ot a stage closed behind, open In front, and set with a funeral canopy, a coffin and row upon row of rigid, almost motionless guards In many uniforms. Nothing was wanting. A vast Assemblage out in the park craned forward and stood on tiptoe to see the spectacle. As the last of these throngs about the hall dispersed the night before, and the sounds from the streets grew fainter, silence fell upon all the building. Only now and then the sound ot subdued footsteps was heard in the corridors as the closing of a distant door aroused faint echoes from the dustv nooks of the old building. The guards sat silently about the casket. It was their last night’s vigil. For over two weeks the faithful Grand Armymen had not left the side of the coffin either night or day. When the cover of the casket had been securely fastened the pretty wreath ot oak leaves that Geheral Grant’s grandchild, Julia, and the little daughter ot Dr. Douglas had woven was the first floral offering laid upon the dead soldier’s breast. It went with the remains to their last abode, and, fast shut out from air and light, will doubtless remain as it was seen to-day .'or many and many a year after the childish hands that twined It have been mouldering in dust. ASSSMBUXO OF TUB SOLDIERS. At half past eight o’clock two companies af regul ars marched to the slow music of the David’s Island Government Band into the lnclosure before the City Hall. One company was Battery A, of the Fifth Artillery, the other Company E, of the Twelfth Infantry, the companies that were detailed to do duty by the hero’s body soon after life quitted it Both were commanded by Captain Beck. The horses were tethered to the trees, the musicians flung themselves upon the grass, the soldiers drew back from the asphalt under the shade ot the trees and the officers chatted to and fro, or strode about the empty spaoe like players on a stage. The sunlight glided the scene, and It will be long remembered by all who saw It. The red plumes among the trees, the colored figures and gleaming Instruments on the grass the mettlesome horses, highly caparisoned, but with empty saddles, and the blue and gray lines of policemen backed against the dark mass of on-lookers, were but so many parts of a picture that included rows of spectators on dizzy roof lines, groups of men and woman on the broad cornice of the lofty federal building,the crowded windows on all sides, even in the deserted hotel, next above the Sun building, and to all of which was added outside ot the picture, the dlapson ot great regimental bands moving up Broadwuy and the abrlll strains ot lifers In the side streets.

GENERAL HANCOCK. Presently there dashed Into the center of the open space the martial figure of MajorGeneral Winfield S. Hancock, on a big bay horse and In full regimentals, with a bun sash and a orape-bound arm. Superintendent Murray walked out from the Ctty Hall, and the hero of Gettysburg leaned from his saddle to say impressively that the funeral car must be on time, must start at ten o’clock. An old aid or tiro, who had pushed on after the General like shadows chasing him, received short commands in firm, but kindly tones, and dashed away leaving the great stage to a cavalcade Of mounted men, mainly In officers' uniforms, with cocked beavers and dove-colored sashes, who moved towards the General In a crescent-shaped line. FITSHtrOH LEE. ©ae autos* tfeMth.*. l%-b»l5i9dt

led man, -with twinkling eyes and a fane that resolved Into one great oval smile, rode out rrom among the others and grasped the beneral’s hand. It was Fltzhugh Lee, the tepnew of Robert K. Lee and grand-nephew »f Light Horse Harry of 177£ He wore a dove-colored sash like the rest, but, Instead of a golden belt and blazing epaulettes and a rooked hat, his dress was a business suit of brawn and a slate-colored derby hat. iTesently, General Hancock rode out of the park with long lines of aides galloping after him; everyone, whether he could see Broad way or not, knew that the bead of the Procession had begun the march to Riverside Park—that Is to say that the regulars of the Army and Xavy who had reached the park under General Hancock’s leadership, would continue their march when ho took his place at the head of the line. For twenty minutes after that the melody of the passing bands filled the air. Tills was bv all odds the most picturesque and interests r part of the procession. Its like had been seen only twice of late years In this city, on the centennial anniversary of Evacuation Day and on last Wednesday* A few minntes before >J o’clock the 120 members Of the Liederkranz society, ail dressed In black, had come np the white Bteos of the City Hall like a dark wave. When the topmost rank had reached the last step the entire body stopped, forming ft pyramid of which a small group of players on musical instruments were the apex They sang the Spirits first Schubert’s “Song' of . — Oyer the Water*’—the strange, mournful notes of the refrain now swelling to majestic organ-Uke volume, then sinking to a low melancholy chant. As the last notes ceased the sound of dirges played by the distant bands came back like an echo. The Liederkranz then sang “The Pilgrim’s chorus,” from “Tannhanser,” and went quietly away. The last relief of the Grand Army Guard with Comrade John H. Johnson' at their head, came with a quick swinging step rcioss the esplanade and np the steps It was the Iftst Grand Army Guard Relief, and with one exception, the thirteen who composed It were the same thirteen who first toffk up the watch In the sad cottage under the sombre hemlocks of Mt. McGregor. It was 9:26 when Mayor Grace led a distinguished party of men In civilian’s dress, but wearing sashes of fluted white cambric, up the steps of the City Hall and ordered the great Iron gates flung open before the soldier’s coffin. These citizens, upon whom 5.000 pairs of eyes were Instantly fixed, were the Rev. Dr. Newman and Bishop Harris, Methodist; Rabbi Broune, Hebrew; Father McGlynn, Roman Catholic; the ltev. Dr. Talbot W. Chambers, of the Collegiate Dutch Church; the Rev. Robt. Collyer, Unitarian; the Rev. C. De W. Rndgman, Baptist, and the doctors who attended the dying tGeneral— Drs. Douglas and Slirady, Dr. Sands, the surgical adviser, and Dr. Elliott, the microscoplst. Instantly the undertaker lifted the coffin from Its reslng place Under the canopy and the Grand Army men took hold of the silver bars at its sides and strode with it* and with solemn tread down the steps. Other undertakers’ assistants had put in place the portable black steps that fill the end of the funeral car, which just then had been driven up to the steps, and while the regulars formed on the right and left of the railing that marked the passageway to the car, presenting arras as they did "so, the mep of Grant post carried their precious burden down the stone stall's and up the wood6n steps, to its place on the platform of the great black van. Their heads were bared and so were those of the clergy and doctors. Workmen at once screwed the coffin firmly In place upon the platform, and then brushed away their brown footprints from the sable drapery of the car. while they were thus busied the Grand Array men anti the detail of the Loyal Legion took their places in even numbers on either side of the funeral car. The portable steps were loaded on a twef-horse truck,the regulars took up their positions on the right and left of too car, the doctors and the clergy, the Mayor and the bustling police officials stepped into carriages, and while the Island Band played a dirge, the car and Its eseort moved out of the plaza and Into Broadway.

MOVING. The Federal troops* were far ahead when the body guard and its charge passed up the great artery of the city, the second division, consisting of militia and veteran organizations, falling into line ahead of it, and the Grand Army posts and others coming along behind it. At the moment that the great hearse left the park, the fa ht sound of the bells of old Trinity and next the louder tones of those in old St. 1’aul floated out upon the air. There were moments after that on the line of march when this doleful sound of tolling bells was not heard, but they were few and were due only to the absence ol churches. The bells were ringing, though they could not be heard, not in New York alone, but from Maine to Mexico for, when the electric spark announced the signal,sextons were waiting by prearrangement hand on rope all over the land. Of the-progioss of the pageant to the tomb, and the services there, full details follow. tllE EAST MARCH. The Pageant Which Attended the Here to the Tomb. » At 11:35 the imposing funeral car was drawn by twenty-four jet black horses in black trappings. It haired on the plaza directly In front of the City Hall steps. Inside the corridor, Commander Johnson was waiting. “Columns in position, right and left,” was his command. The Veteran Guard of Honor was erect. “Lift the remains,” was the next command In clear but low tones. The twelve men stooped to the silverrails with gloved hands. “March,” was the word. Out upon the portico were borne the remains, Commander Johnson immediately at the head. Down the steps with measured tread, across the open to the steps of the black and Waiting car. Commander Johnson stepped aside. The silver mountings glistened as the burial ease and its honored burden was carried up and placed upon the dais of the mounted catafalque. The veterans retired down the steps. The body was alone for all to view, but deeply guarded. The Honor Guard, next to the hearse on either side, took the same relative positions they had maintained to the remains while being borne to the car. The steps were drawn away from the hearse. Commander Johnsou took ids place in the center, and immediately behind the funeral car. At his left and right in either rear corner of the cat were Comrades Downing and Ormsbv, ol Wheeler l ost, Saratoga, respectively. Next, and directly behind these, were representatives of the Loyal Legion abreast as follows: General John J. Miikun, General C. A Carelton, Paymaster Geo. D. Barton, Lieu-tenant-Colonel Floyd Clarkson. LieutenantColonel A M. Clark and Captain E. Blunt. The clergy and physicians had paid respect to the remains by alighting from tlieli carriages and accompanying them from the steps to the car. They then entered carriages on either side of the plaza near Broadway asfollows: ltev. Dr. Newman, Bishop Haines, Bishop Potter, Rev. Dr. Chambers, Be v. Dr. Field. Rev. Dr. Bridgeman, Rev. Dr. West. Rev. Father Deshon, Rev. Robert Coilyer, Rabbi Browne and Drs. Douglas, Shraily and Sands. Colonel Beck, in charge of tlie regulars, commanded his companies as indicated above to positions. Company A on the right and Company E on the left of the hearse. Colored men were at the bridles ol the twenty-four horses. Sixteen men ol Meade Post, Philadelphia, of which General Grant was a member, were almost in front ol the team of black leaders, and the David’s Island Band preceded them. A signal was given and the line of ooaclie3 with clergymen moved off the plaza onto Broadwav. The band stood waiting at the head of the funeral cortege. Colonel Beck advanced to the head of the line of black horses before the coach. * THE START. “Hove on,” were his words of command, with uplifted sword. The leaders stepped forward, led by colored men, and In an instant the: black line qf horses had straightened their traces and the wheels beneath the remains were moving. The hour was 9:47. The band playe .l a dirge, the tramp of the regulars and the Honor Guard beat upon the pavement. Thousands beneath trees and crowding the Rides of the squares looked on the black luneral car rolling over the curb Into Broadway. The black -corridors of the City Hall were silent. General Grant’s last Journey was begun. Then at 9:S9 Mayor Grace, Comptrollei Loew and Alderman Sanger and Jachni emerged from the city buildings and enteret a carriage that had drawn up In front. Tin members of the Common Council followed and entered carriages, as did also the Poltc* Commissioners. They followed out of th< plaza as fast as disposed of in carriages ant when it was ten o’clock the police lines wer< withdrawn and the people streamed ncros: the pli^za without hindrance. The last seem there was ended. ON BROADWAT. All night long carpenters with saw and hammbr were busy in Braadway, and when this morning the sun climbed up out of th< sea and shed its brilliant light on the dar) corners and all eyes of the city, It revealed the presence of hundreds of hastily erected reviewing stands from which the great pro cession could be seen at prices ranging at the way from 51 to $10 a head. The decorators, too, had nqt been idle -On the front ol many a great warehouse were displayed emblems of mourning which were not thert the night before. The reviewing standi were located In all sorts of places. Nearly every empty stand along the routi had been gobbled up by the speculators Some of these were rented outright, whilt others contained numbered seats, to be had at the small sum of J5 each. AT THR FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL Madison Square was long astir and troopi of sight-seers were traveling up Twenty-thlr< street as early as 7 :SU o'clock, when an officer On horseback, dashed up to the ladies' en trance of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, and dls mounting, took his stand at the door. Tin Bearl grey sash' denoting an aid of Genera uncock was aerosa the breast, The office: *aa.C»toatUtt°2i89A-Sl Sfltttotf Hancock’:

staS, He was followed shortly bva mild looking gentleman In military uniform, who proved to be the Marshal of the Presidential and Gubernatorial party, Uentenant-Col-onel Gillespie. Their presence attracted art enormous crowd to the draped entrance to the hotel on Twenty-third street, and the police were soon called upon to clear the sidewalk. The crowd then surged around toward the main portal of the hotel, which shortly became Impassable. Inside an increasing throng of gold-laoed and uniformed men blocked every hall and corridor. in the main hall General Sherman, tall, erect and emoklng a big cigar, was the center of an admiring throng. He stood In a group of naval bfflcers, chatting pleasantly with old friends. The party were In full uniform, and attracted unlvorsal attention, that flagged only feu: a moment when a file of attendants of , the Japanese Minister entered. The big£ marble nail was completely choked with humanity long before eight o’clock. In the big parlors np stairs all was stir and hustle, while the President and Ids Cabinet minis-f ters were at breakfast in oae end of the ‘ building, and the Grant family quietly preparing for the pageant at the other end. the committee, organizations and delegations Were gathering and getting ready here, there and everywhere. Badges, sashes and military orders found way for the members In the seemingly inextricable confusion of swarming humanity. In a quiet little parlor, off the Indies' parlor, facing the square, a group of serious men, most of them gray-haired and old, but nearly all erect and of vigorous physique, were putting on bread silken sashes of white and black. They were the pall-bearers, and they were a striking group. General Sheridan,.summoned upfront nis frfendfy confab below, resplendent in military toggery, stood In f.lendly conversation with a tall man. In whose white mustache and chin beard and soldierly bearing one recognized at a glance the gallant Confederate General Buckner, from whom General Grant Wrested his first nard won laurels at Fort Donelson. General liucknor was In ordinary black citizens’ dress. A smaller man, similarly attired, at the other end of the room, Whose gray hairs formed a striking contrast to the leonine mane and fierce black mustache of General Logan, with whom he ' was talking, was the famous General “Joe” Johnston, the bravest of the btave, who succumbed to General Grant’s sword. Hamilton Fish was not among the pall-bearers. He was sick and the I’resident had appointed A. J. Drexel, of Philadelphia, in his stead. At the last moment it was said that Admiral Worden had been appointed a pall-bearer in place of Admiral Itowan. At half past eight o’clock Colonel Hodges summoned the pall-bearers to their carr.ages. The President’s Carriage, drawn by six horses, was called np to the door next, but It had fully an hour tti wait. The President had signified his intention of riding with Secretary Bayard. He was at that time, having finished his breakfast, quietly conversing in his parlors on the thin! floor with ex-Govcrnors Cornell and llobinson, who had called In anticipation of Ills coining out an immense crowd, which the police fonnd it difficult to manage, gathered opposite the hotel entrance on Twenty-third street, and yells of “Here they come!” went np every time a delegation of Grand Array veterans, a gubernatorial delegation or a committee of State delegates, who burrowed in the big hotel apparently in countless numbers, came out.

THE FAMIpY. I The Grant family were quietly gathered to their parlors overlooking the square, and Strangers were rigidly excluded from the hall leading to their rooms, llrs. Grant had not arrived, and it was announced that she would not attend the funeral, but had concluded to stay at Mt. McGregor. She was reported by l>r. Newman to be still weak and ill, though not confined to Iter bed. The party gathered at the hotel ready to take carriages for their position in the parade when the column should have advanced so far as to permit their carriages to fall in line from the hotel were Colonel and Mrs. Fred D.

Arkell. The members of the party who from time to time appeared at the windows, as the head of the column began to move up past the hotel, the bands playing as they passed, were the object of general attention on the part of the multitude gathered on the square. ! At 9:20 o’clock President Cleveland called his Cabinet together and air.ingements were made for the order in which they were to leave the hotel to take their places in the procession. The hands on the dock in front of the hotel pointed to 10:05 o’clock when General Hancock and General Shaler rode under Its windows at the head of the procession. T.IKING CARRIAGES.

Grant, Jr.,and his wife and Senor Romero occupied the next carriage together; Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Grant the third and the Cramer family the fourth carriage. As the carriages received their occupants they rolled away toward the avenue and remained there, closely wedged in and waiting fqr their turn in the line. They had been waiting more than a quarter of an hour before President Clevi land came out and took his seat In his carriage witli Secretary Ravard. A four-horse carriaie that followed received Vice President Hendricks and his private Secretary, Hugh Fast.

THEY MUST GO. The President Meets the Cattlemen's Cess* mlttee nnd Informs Them in Unmistakable Terms That the Order to Vacate Can Net he Modified—General Sheridan’s Report. » Washington, D. C., August 8.—The delegation of leaseholders and cattlemen and others interested In an extension of the forty days allowed by'.the President's proclamation for the evacuation of the Imftsn Territory were received by the President and Secretary Lamar at the Executive Mansion at four o'clock yesterday afternoon. The cattlemen were introduced to the President by Senator Cockrell. Ex-Represeutative Pollard 'read the resolutlona adopted' by the leaseholders, setting forth that Interests aggregating $7,000,000, and affecting many States and cities, were involved, and that one-halt the total amount Invested might be' sacrificed by the execution of the proclamation. This resolution declared it impossible to properly more or provide other ranches for the cattle} Set forth various arguments in detail, and asked for an extension of time until next April, promising prompt and entire preparations for evacnation. Messrs. Moore and Mumfcrd, of Kansas City, made statements of the financial losses and panic likely to be occasioned by the execution of the order, and Colonel Denning, of the Cheyenne & Arapahoe Cattle Company, reviewed the hardships and losses involved in an enforced move at short notice at this1 season.

iuu xiirsiucui, ttiioi ubiuuuij; awcu* lively to the resolutions and remarks, replied ; “Gentlemen, the application tor an extension ot time or modification of this order is inadmissible. Yon appear to overlook the vital question of public interest and policy Involved. We have recently seen the panic that a very small Indian outbreak occasions, and the fear and horror which it carries to all the people in the vicinity. To prevent such outbreaks and ascertain the cause of disturbance, we have sent onr highest military officer and ablest Indian authority to the scene, and he reports that the trouble with the Indians arises from the presence of cattlemen npon their grounds. He reports that the entire army is required to guard against troubles arising from this cause, and that they wilt continue as long as the leases hoid, , It is trne that the Indians in most instances consented to the leases, but they now find in them a Source of trouble and dissatisfaction and dissension. It is true the In. terlor Department approved these leases, but always with the provision that they could be nullified on short notice, The question resolves Itself into a contest between private Interests, Involving pecuniary loss and inconvenience, and the all important public interest of peace, safety and good government. Delay until next spring under these circumstances is out of the question. This order can not be modified. This order was carefully reviewed and indorsed in Cabinet consultations. Three days after its issue absolute assurance was given that it contd not be amended, and yet twelve precious days have now been wasted. We desire to avoid unnecessary loss and inconvenience to you, althought some is tnevltatable. Whatever indulgence is granted will have to he on satisfactory evidence ot energetic efforts during the time allowed. There is no limit to energy and ingenuity. I-can not but think that this order can be complied with. It must be. I must ask your co-operation in carrying out this necessary work of relieving the army of this charge and the settlers oi this constant menace and danger, and the Government will in turn endeavor to protect you from unnecessary loss. ” No reply was made to the President’s remarks. GENERAL StlERIOAN’S REPORT. Washington, D. Ct, August 5.—General Sheridan’s report on the condition of affairs in the Cheyenne and Arapahoe reservations and the cattlemen’s leases In the Indian Territory was made pnbltc yesterday. General Sheridan, npon his arrival, learned from Indian Agent Dyer that the leasing of reservation lands and the presence of so many whites had a tendency to breed discontent and dissatisfaction among the Indians. He then consulted some of the Indian chiefs, and the harden of tbeir complaint was the leasing of tne lands of their reservation; which they had opposed, whenever opportunity was afforded,-iu the strongest terms. They complained that many of their ponies had been stolen and their small herds of cattle absorbed by cattlemen’s cowboys. General Sheridan blames Indian Agent Miles for much of this trouble. Interviews with Indian chiefs who had signed leases showed they had been imposed npon by Miles. General Sheridan saw the lease holders, who claimed that a general council was held, and that chiefs and head men representing ninety-five percent, of the Indians, consented to leasing the lands. Whether this be correct or net, he says, is hard to determine now. He estimates that 210,000 cattle are on the leased lands. The rent has been paid, and the iesseed have fulfilled their contracts, although the Iqdians have done much to aggravate them by killing iheir stock when rations were short. The ranches of- these lessees, however, without fault of theirs, have become the headquarters of a roving, restless class of adventurers, who are lawless and uncontrollable, and whose influence on the Indians is of the worst character when friendly, and leads to theft and sometimes mnrder. In concluding the General recommends in the strongest terms a complete organization of the affairs of the reservation. - There are,” be says, “within its limits too many white, people who have no business there. These should be obliged to leave at once, and no one allowed to remain who is not officially connected with the agency or with the military post”
