that his friends entirely the shock Of
his decease Tho Senate in consequence Of this sad In
telligence, adjourned Immediately after meeting The
House will adjourn tomorrow, and both branches Of

funeral obsequies.
There is something terrible in being stricken down
thus single day. without the previous preparation of
Sickness or without being apprsed that Is immed
atey about to face death. To be called with mo warn
ing given in few brief hours of mortal pain and ago
ny to feel the only inmaon that end approach
ing and then to sink into the cold grave with thousand
plans administration, domestic cares the ties Of
friendship the love ofe, all hanging upon the departing
SOUL and acting loads TO weigh down EARTH when
its fight Is feavenwardn all this there il something
hat is brought home TO every OF us, with terrific
force, in the death Of this man. who two days ance
walked in all the pride Of health and lusy manhood and
WHO'S now si and cold in his shroud. Alas for poor
humanity.
The House reconsidered Mr.. Bakers resolution,
which passed yesterday, providing for the delivery by
the Secretary of War to the Colonies of regiments
clothes for the men under their command the price Of
such clothes to be deducted from the pay each soldier
The motion to reconsider made by Mr.. Starkwea-
Their. regret exceedingly that this thing was &C.
quiesced in by the House. Such peddng does not be-
come an American Congress, when the comfort Of tho
brave fellows who are emperng their lives for the ho
nor Of the country is concerned The resolution
referred to the Committee on Military Affairs.
Mr. HARRISON, from the Committee Military Affairs,
IN
lars to serve during the The bill was read s.
cond time and referred to the Committee of the whole
House on the State Of the Union. There was nothing
else Of importance.
The memorial Of the New York pilots is referred to
Subcommittee OF the Committee of Commerce in the
House, consisting Of Messrs Grinne Of Massachusetts,
Lawrence, Of New York, and Atkinson, of Virginia
Mr. Grnne is Of course the advocate Of the merchants
Mr. Lawrence is jealous in the cause Of the pilots
and Mr.. Atkinson, not knowing which side il right,
hearing couHter statements is DESTROYS Of the adoption
of plan that will give no unfair advantages to
either The most extraordinary have
been made Tor the purpose Of influencing tie committee
on this question; among others that previous to 1887
the pilots were banded together in monopoly that they
would allow others to work the bay; that they
lazy, careless, and INDECENT and attended their
duties merely when it their convenience and va
rous other charges equally false rumped up by the ad
vocaes OF the unjust law OF 1897.
The members of the Committee Of Commerce, with
whom have been conversing tho subject, express
their desire to pass law that will be just to both
parties and suggest a compromise but not how
compromise be effected between justice and injus
tce will take occasion to put this matter in q clear
light before the committee shortly.
The Western and Northern democrats are still deter
mined on the insertion Of the nsavery clause In Inc
two millions appropriation bill They declare their only
desire to be- the formation of free States of the terri
tory which may hereafter be annexed in the south
They say that unless they show their determination at
once, this subject they that territory
from being made into slave States They say they have
been already taken in by the South question but
they cannot be second time imposed upon must still
say their reasoning does not satisfy of the necessity
Of the insertion Of such clause in such b-a money
bill But their determination 10 taken, and presume il
will DO in vain TO believe they will succeed In
killing the bill by that proviso, for with it,
pass the Senate Why not insert proviso the dill or
gsnizng additional force of the army that slavery
shall not exist in any territory the acquisition Of which
may be the remote consequence Of the organization OF
this foice, and Of Its operations against the Mexicans p
Such proviso would not be any cx,ravagant than
that Of Mr.. Wilmot. GALv1ENsIs.
