AT Salem (Massacbusctis) this solemn commemora-
ton of sad event took place Monday The streets

noon, although crowded with people. All places OF
business closed and large number of the houses
on the route of the procession bore appropriate lns
mia of mourning, some Of them, PARTICULAR in Ches-
nut street, being very richly clad The enogy by the
Hon. Leverett Sallonsta (as might have been
ancipated) eloquent and impressive performance
At BosToS, Tuesday last was devoted TO these soiem
mites, which, it cannot be doubted, were such as
might be expected from at enlightened and patriotic
CITY, whose people had cordially welcomed Genera
Harrison to the station in which the shaft Of Death over
took him.
At PHILADELPHIA, also, Tuesday last was, agreea
bly, to previous arrangements, observed day OF &c

Mr. O'Suvan took the floor in support Of Mr.. Hoh-
man s proposition, suggesting, however, such modi-
fcaon Of it, as should direct inquiry, by the judi
ciary committee, into the e1pediency of the proposed
law.
Mr.. LOOMS, in the absence of Mr. Hoffman, stated,
that from conversation with his colleague he felt au-
horzed to accept for him this modification of the pro-
position and added that he had designed himself to
move it.
Mr.. O'Sullivan proceeded to discuss the resolution
