The recent events In the west Indicate that the demo crats will have enough members in the next * senate to reorganize that body without out side aid. Still , If that aid should become necessary , It Is pretty well settled that the populist senators will vote with the demo crats. Senator Poffcr gave utterance to such a statement today. "On the question of the organization of the senate , " said Mr. PefTor , "as in all other things , I for ono intend to bo Independent. While that is true , I regard It as my duty to put no obstructions In the right-of-way to which I regard the democrats to bo entitled by reason of the popular verdict In the recqnt election.

G. T. Beauregard ranked with that of Jefferson Davis , for the magnificence of display and the number of participants aim tjio evidences of mourning were so gen eral tint his sons found In the fact ixmsola- tlon for having disregarded the wish of tholr father , who requested a private funeral , with llttlo ceremony. The doors of the city hall were not closed during the night. The body was guarded by a detail of local militiamen and the house of mourning was never without visitors. Al most as soon as the morning dawned the vet erans took charge of the remains again , and from then until the hour of the funeral many thousands passed by the bier and viewed the Ixnly. Thousands wcro unable to gain a farewell glance at the face of the dead. The floral offerings were numerous , and many were from the veteran's associations and local bodies. Mobile scut a delegation to at tend the funeral , as did several Texas cities. The Catholic church also'in ' a measure dis regarded the wishes of the dead general and Archbishop Janssens detailed ado/en priests , including Vicar General Bogaerts , to con duct the services , while Father Carcscheat of the Jesuits , who was a confederate ; chap lain during the w.ir , and who had a brother In each of the great armies , ono being the aldc-ile-camp of General Rosccrans , delivered a brief but eloquent eulogy upon the dead. The body was then borne down the stairs of the city hall by a detachment of the Louisiana Field artillery and the casket was pi iced upon n caisson and wrapped in nn American Hag. The militia headed the funeral column under the command of General Euclid Borland , every company in the city turning out its full quota of men. The veteran association followed ana then caino the inmates of the confederate soldier's home in wagonettes. It is a note worthy fact , telling of tno thinning of the ranks , that though vehicles were provided , fully one-third the Inmates of the homo were too Infirm to attend the obsequies. The caisson was guarded by mounted artillery men. Tncncarno a line of carriages several miles long. The various exchanges were closed and business was practically suspended , and an Immense- concourse lined the streets to do honor to the dead. The remains were laid away lu the tomb of tlio Army of Tennessee at Motalrle , over which stands the statue of General Albert Sidney Johnston. There was a brief religious ceremony nt the grave , n company of the votarans of the Washington artillery , com manded by Captain McElroy , fired three volleys ov'er the grave , the Louisiana Field artillery fired three puns as the buglers sounded "Taps" nnd the family was loft alone with the dead.

[ Special to TUB BEE. ] Rumor has been rlfo for several days that C. W. Moshcr was making his prepara tions to leave the city , and one well known attorney stated today that ho had received intimation that Moshcr had secured written opinions from eminent attorneys in the cast on the extradition laws , and had been In formed that ho could not bo brought back from Australia. The rumor startled the depositors of the defunct bank , and a meeting was Immedi ately called for next Wednesday evening nt the council chamber to decide upon what course of action should bo taken in regard to their affairs. Tno Evening News this after noon prints an Interview with Moshcr , In which that Individual is quoted as saying that he is still nt his homo and tl.at ho does not Intend to leave the city. Ho further says that the negotiations entered into re garding the taking up and paying by his relatives of all claims against him in connec tion with the bank failure in consideration of his not being punished have fallen through , and added that they had been en tered Into against his protest. It is stated that there are now in the hands of attorneys for collection for eastern baoks $174,000 worth of notes signed by the Western Manufacturing company , per E. Hurlbut , manager , which were noated by Moshcr. The notes are made payable to the Capital National bank and nro endorsed "Without recourse , Capital National bank , C. W. Moshcr , president , " and below , "No tice of protest and nonpayment waived , Moshcr It Outcalt. " Outcalt says that ho never authorized his numo being signed thereon. IJurlbut has not been manager of the company for four or live years and the company is not liable thereon. It would seem , therefore , that the notes had simply been issued by Moshcr on the credit of the bank and the company , and the proceeds pocketed by him. Huribut could not bo found , but It is said by his friends that he executed several notes for $5,000 each when ho was manager of the company , which wcro afterwards renewed several times. In each case Moshcr told him the originals had been destroyed whenever returned for col lection. It was also said today that J. D. Macfarland , the receiver , was a creditor of Moshcr to the extent of $31,000 , tbo amount of a loan. The bank was opened this after noon for the purpose of allowing creditors to list their claims and winding up the bus iness. High Mfo Divorce.

J. Rigby of Syracuse , whoso malice is based oil personal differences be tween them when ho was advertising man ager and n stockholder. They assort that their action in levying assessments was for the purpose of restoring the financial credit of. the company , and that It is now in good shape. They ask that no receiver bo ap pointed. The case comes up Monday.
