HOUSE.
Mr. Grover, of Oregon, was qualified and took
his seat.
Mr. Geo. Taylor reported a preamble, setting
forth that John Cassin, Of Philadelphia, having
been duly summonened, has refused to appear and
give testimony before the Select Committee to in
Yes.igate the account of Mr.. Seaman late Superin-
tendent of Public Printing concluding with resolu-
tion that the Speaker be directed TO issue his war
rant to the Sergeant at Arms to arrest the sald
Cassin, wherever he is to be found, and to bring
him forthwith before the Bar of the House to an.
swer for his contempt The resolution was passed
Mr.. Crawford, of Ga, asked, but failed to obtain
consent to introduce bill to repeal all laws passed
since the first of July 1885, which increase the sal
aries of public oc rs, and the salaries to be paid
in conformity to the laws previous to that time.
The act now proposed to be continued in force
until the annual receipts from the duties reserved
under the law Of March Sd, 1857, shall be equal 10
the amount annually appropriated by Congress and
no longer.
Mr.. Doudell, of Ala, Intellectually sought to in
troduce q resolution calling on the President to
furnish information showing the amount expended
on account Of the re-captured Africans, and how
far the Republic of Liberia was interested in this
expenditure, the cost of maintaining the African
squadron, the number of deaths Of officers and men
connected Herewith, and the number of Africans
restored, DC.
The House went into Committee on the Senate's
amendments to the Indian Appropriation Bill.
Mr. Staunton, of Ohio, said that Mr.. Barnett yes
terday contrasted the expenditures under Mr. Fill
more's Whig Administration with those under Mr.
Buchanan during the year greatly to the prejudice
of the present Administration.
He had congratulated himself that he had fonnd
at last sincere apostle Of retrenchment and re-
form, but the gentleman from Virginia in his next
breath endeaVored to throw the responsibility Of
the largely increased expenditures on the minOri-
ty with the assistance of few on the Democratic
side under those circumstances the idea of his car
rying away the sins of the Democratic party into
the wilderness, was out Of the question
It had occurred to him Mr.. Stanton) confession
is the first step to repentance, but the majority
is not responsible the country has little to hope
for from Democratic quarters The appropriation
bills are retained from the Senate uniformly laden
with additional millions, and the House is COM
PEELED to acquiesce as they come from the Commit
tee of Conference, or leave the Administration
without the means to carry on the Government.
He had beeo informed that some men connected
with the navy yards never go excepting to get
their pay and that on election days they served as
shoulder hitters and performed such other duties
as the exigencies OF the party require This is no
doubt one of the reasons for the increase the ex
penditures Of which the gentleman from Virginia
complains.

Mr.. Stanton continued: They had increased as

speedy overthrow not merely in the non essential
but the fundamental articles Of the Democrats
creed. BE referred to the conflict ng views Of the
President and the Secretary of the Treasury, rels
tive to the mode of adjusting duties He alluded
to the frauds from false invoices in valuation, and
said if tie customs had been collected under an
honest system 40 per cent. more would have been
received into the Treasury. Eight or nine millions
would be sufficient to meet the current expenses.
There should be radical change from ad VaIorem
to specific duties for the purpose of obtaining suf-
cent revenue with the principle of discrimination
for the encouragement Of domestic manufacture -

MAN BURNED TO DEATH.-Early yesterday
morning, workman at the lime kiln of Calkins
Il Co., on Canal street, when going to his work,
found a negro lying directly upon the burning
lime, with a part OF his body consumed by the in
tense heat Help was Immediately called, but no
aid could avail him then. He died in very few
minutes after being discovered.
The man generally went by the name Of Boyd,
although his real name was Patterson. He had
lived in the city since last falwas nearly or quite
fifty years od-and came from UniontoWn, Penn,
where be left wife and children. The poor man
has been of late, entirely given over to liquor drink
ing, and has wandered about, too poor TO have a
home, and too infrm to work, and it is suspected
that as the people of the neighborhoOd had be-
come tired of having him about he had either been
made drunk and staggered upon his fearful resting
place, or that they had more direct agency in bis
death. Some wounds and blood were found upon
him, and it can but be supposed that he was mur-
dered by some means, and put upon the fire to give
an accidental for his death. The real facts in
the case will probably always remain mystery.

The PROFESSIONALISM night at halfpast ten
strange company was seen emerging from
stairway on Bank street. and fling into the street.
Towering officers, in dresses of blue and gold,
with crowns upon their heads and swords in their
hands, formed the Company, composed of figures
Alternately dressed in white robes with black cross
es and girdles, and black robes with white crosses
and girdles, into the form of large Maltese cross
the wings of which stretched across the street.
First in the procession came the Hecker Band,
followed by the Cleveland Light Guards as an es-
cort of honor, under command of Capt. Sanford
Then came the commanding officers followed by
the rank and file to the number of several hundred
With no sound in the ranks save the mournful mu.
sic by the Band no talking or laughing, no words of
command even, the procession moved on through
Superior, Euclid, Erie, Lake, Ontario, st. Clair,
Water, Superior and Bank streets, followed By an
eager, curious crowd of men and women, boys and
girls, who volunteered much advice to the silent
Ihrong who passed on unheeding.
Various opinions were offered as to the charac-
ter and design of the pedestrians. That of their
having started for Pixies Peak, seemed to predom-
mate, but one old lady decided, when they turned
down Erie street. that they were all to be immersed
in the lake. After uamping with measured step
through unmessured mud, over the above streets,
the company ascended the stairs to the Lodge
Rooms and all was still

THE CONCERT LAST EvENING-The concert
given last evening by the Cleveland Musical So.
ciety was decided success far as execution was
concerned The orchestra, consisting of some
twenty five performers, is composed of the best
amateur musicians in the city, all under the lead
IF. x. Byerly, Esq Mr.. Byerly has filed his
position in a manner exceedingly creditable to
himself and satisfactory to the Society, asswas
evinced by the almost perfect harmony and tune
of the music.
The playing on the piano by Mrs. Clark, and on
the violin and viOlincellO by her brothers, the
Nessrs Coe,were truly fine; we might say, enchant-
ing.
They were most rapturousy applauded and en-
cored. With the exception of Madame Wallace,
we think Mrs. Clark is the finest lady pians. that
ever played in our city. Her movements on the
instrument remind one strongly of Thalbergs, so
gracefully smoothly and rapidly do her fingers glide
over the keys. 1t is matter of congratulation to
our music-loving community, that Mrs. Clark and
her talented brothers have located themselves in
this city.
The singing of the Quartette by Messrs. Hol-
brook, Stanley, {. Byerly, and Mrs. JeWett, was
much admired. Mrs. Whitney sang with her usu-
al sweetness and power.
The Bugle Solo by Mr.. Leland, it is needless for
US to say, was magnihcently performed. In fact,
his bugle seemed to speak out more elOquenty than
ever.
We trust that the Society may be Induced to ia
yor the community with another concert
Owing to the extremely rainy weather the Hall
was not crowded, althoughit was comfortably full.
