bfessrS. Editors Permit me, through your pa =
per- to pay tribute of respect to the memory of
JOHN {. DAVIS, Clerk in the store of Feazel
Il Lewis in the town of Charlton, Mo who died
Of Congestive fever, on the 10th day of August,
1871, in the eighteenth year of his age.
Seldom has this community been more shocked
than in the sudden exit OF this uuiahIe youth He
possessed vigorous constitution. aud was stacked
with the ordinary symptoms Of this epidemic in
apparently its mller form. After being sick some
two or three days, his friends removed him IN a
carriage short distance into the country; and on
ar irving at his new lodgings. he was taken with a
old siege of the disease and sunk in three or four
hours into the quiet of death.
Few young men gave brighter promise to the
world Of future usefulness. He was admirably
strict in his moral department.; and in the circle of
his acquaintance, no one was more universally be.
loved. sweet disposition endeared him TO all
with whom he did any business; and an innate mo-
desty aud respect for the feelings of others, won
him the confidence of the numerous customers
whom he served at the counter. Had he lived, his
business qualiication--the qualifications of his
head and heart, would have given him, no doubt
a conspicuous place in the profession he had che.
sen. As it is, we feel that the loss of such young
man is public loss. Blu, we can bid farewell tc
him in the language Of Mrs. Sigourney;
1.-THE seal is on thy virtues set; no more
Like ours to tremble in temptations hour,
Perchance, 10 fall. Fear hath nU longer power
To chill thy life. stream and fral hope doth folC
Her rainbow wing, and sink to rest with thee.
How good 70 be unclothed, and sleep in peace!"
A FRIEND.

THE END OF THE SESSION.

The National Inteligencer of the 18th
says:-The two Houses of Congress adj
journed last evening, according to previous
resolution, after one of the most laborious
and fruitful sessions that has ever been
held. Excepting in the first Congress, be-
ginning in March, 1850, and ending in
March, 1901, and the session of lSll-l2,
no session has given birth to measures, ia.
ken altogether, of equal importance, or
which promise so abundant harvest of
blessings to the present and future genera
tons, as that which has just closed.
One measure only iswantng to complete
great system of policy which we could
contemplate with unmixed pride and plea
sure. That measure the reader will OF
course understand to be the establishment
of Fiscal Agency, to substitute the re-
pealed Sub-treasury, and, directly or indi-
rectly, to regulate the currency, and faci-
tate, if not to equalise, the exchanges be-
tween different parts of the country
That measure has failed, Notwithstanding
the unwearied efforts of the Wings of both
Houses of Congress to accomplish it. If
the postponen,ent for few months of the
adoption of some such measure Of tina,
sort were the only consequence of the fail
ure to pass it at this session, the evil would
be more tolerable, as it would be aeviated
by the hope of success hereafter. But the
schism which has grown out of this subject
(having at its root, however much deeper
than thaD between the Executive and Con-
gress is a subject of the gravest regret, be-
cause of its throwing strong shade OF
doubt upon the probability of future agree
ment between the Departments. not upon
this point alone, but upon questions con-
corning home affairs which may hereafter
present themselves for their Joint action.
Notwithstanding all which, we repeat,
the session has been highly important one,
having resulted in body of most salutary
and benefcent legislation.
The House of Representatives had not,
at any time yesterday, sufficient number
of members present to form quorum; but
continued its session pro .forma to late
hour, to give time to the Senate to act up
on the Executive business before it. 1t fl
nally adjourned at s o'clock, p. NJ, leaving
the Senate still in session.
The Senate was occupied the whole day
in the consideration of Executive nomina-
tons, few of the results of which have yet
come to our knowledge. Among the most
interesting and important was the confr-
nation of the nomination of EDWARD Ev-
ERETr, to be minister to Great Britain.
The following appointments were also
confirmed during the evenings sitting
WALTER FORWARD, Secretary of the
Treasury. .....
JOHN MCLEAN, Secretary of War.
A. P. UpsHUR, Secretary of the Navy.
CHARLES A. WIcKLIFFE, of Kentucky,
