i The FIRES GOING OuT.--If we permitted to re-
CORD the newspaper press a mirror rejecting the
state of public sentiment throughout the country
upon the political questions which have 80 long agi
ated the people of the nation think it quite safe
to infer that the fires are rapidly going out With
here and there an exception, the republican press
is exceedingly tame and embarrassing Perhaps
the minds of the people, having been whetted to the
point Of constant alarm and expectation, find the
events of real life in Kansas, they actually trans
pre- too uninterestng and stod for their morbid APP
petites. The truth may rs well be told, there is
nothing in the near future that we can see which is
capable Of yielding the material for popular clamor
Kansas, like poor play, well advertised and shock
ingly performed, is cursed by nine-tenths Of the
community, and voted bore Of course, everybody
knew, who had sense enough to comprehend the
distinction between real and representative life, that
it would be So The Kansas excitement could no
be kept up than the stealing vagabonds Of our
great cities could keep alive great confagration.
The little aftcrpiece Of Kansas or the Ratification
is yet to come off but we apprehend, as usual on
such occasions, only the extremely curious, and
those "who laugh in duty bound, +" will remain to
witness the performance. We recollect nothing in
our political history which has produced anything
like the crash Of anti-savcry, which is already seen
to have resulted from this Kansas humbug. 1t start
cd off with flying colors, urged from three thou
sand pupts in wild crusade against 4the encroach-
ments Of slavery" OF course, tho Missouri Compro-
mise and the Wilmot Proviso became distinctive ar
ticles in the creed of the abolitonists. -Four years
have sufced to sink the act of 1920 and the proviso
into absolute and conceded popular and the
campaign against slavery in Kansas is seen to bear
striking analogy to the great contest Of the gallant
knight do Ia Mancha with the longarmed wind

THE FUNERAL HoNoRs 10 JUDGE EVANS,

THE FUNERAL HONOIS 10 JUDGE EVANS,
No regular business was done in either house OF
Congress yesterday--the day having been occupied
with ceremonies appropriate to the death of Senator
Appropriate and eloquent eulogies were pronoun-
ced upon the character Of the deceased in the Sem
ate by Mcssrs. Hammond, Benjamin, Hale, and VIII
son; after which resolutions OF coincidence offered by
Mr. Hunter, were adopted
In the House, the Hon. Mr.. Mcqueen, of South
Carolina delivered an address, reciting in brief the
history of the deceased, which was most admirable
and appropriate in terms, and was delivered with
much feeling and earnest sincerity of manner. Mr..
Mcqueen was followed by Mr.. Bocock, of Virginia,
in eloquent sulogy upon the character of tho de-
parted senator, Astounding in excellent and just re-
Elections upon the event. and with interesting allu-
sions to many distinguished public men Of South
Carolina Mr.. Colfax, of Indiana, added an appro-
pirate tribute from the northern side Of the House
We have published these interesting addresses in
another part of our paper.
After these proceedings in tho House, that body
at clock the Vice President called the Senate to
order, and tho SergeantatArms announced in sue
cession the President Of the United States the Cab
net, the Supreme Court, and the House of Repre
sentatives. When these were seated the ceremo-
MES commenced by the reading of the solemn Epis
copal service of the Burial of the Dead, by the Rev
| DR.. Cummings; this was followed by the Rev. Mr.
Samson, who read the 18th chapter of the first Epis
tie of Paul to the Corinthians. DIR. Cummings ther
delivered feryid discourse, based upon the lOtl
verse of the I'd chapter Of the Epistle to Timothy
At the close of the sermon, prayer was offered by
| the Rev. Mr.. Samson, and then the mournful cor
| tege was marshalled into order, and took up IT'D
solemn march for the Congressional Cemetery, where
the last Christian words were pronounced, and the
| form of the venerable and veneratcd senator from
South Carolina was placed in its resting-pace.

relating to measure which has already occupied

articles as expressing the public sentiment of the
