Another Account of the Last Moments of Cook
and COppic

HARPER's FERRY, Nov. 16.-The prisoners
Cook and Coppic were visited by the Rev.
Messrs. North, Waugh and Lehr, previous to
their departure for the scaffold. The prison
ers were engaged, at their entrance, washing
their feet and putting on their under-clothing.
Capt. Avis told them if they had anything to
say, they could say it when in presence of fiji
teen or twenty persons. Cook replied that he
vas grateful indeed for the kindness shown
him by Sheriff Campbell, the jailor, and the
guards.
10 the ministers who had manifested such
interest in his welfare, to Messrs. JOS +. Bless
ing and John j. Cook, as well as to the cti-
zens generally, for their kindness to him, he
was also very grateful. AT this point, Coppic
looked up, and said 'Them's my sentiments,
too, gentlemen" Cook then gave directions
with regard to one or two articles one, a
breast-pin, which he did not want taken off
then or at the scafold; he wished it given to
his wife, or to his son if he lived. Within his
shirt bosom, on the left side, was daguerreo-
type and lock ofhis sons hair, which he wish
ed given to his wife Both requested that
their arms should not be pinioned tight enough
to stop the circulation Of the blood, which was
complied with A blue cloth talma was thrown
over Coppic, and dark one over Cook. Dur
ing these proceedings, Coppc was struggling
to keep down his emotions and Cook was
striving to be calm The Quaker gentleman
then remarked that twas hard to die, to which
Coppic responded, at is the parting from
friends, not the dread of death, that moves US"
On their way down stairs they were allowed to
advance to the cell of Stevens and Hazlett, and
bid them farewell.
They shook hands cordially, and Cook said
to Stevens, "My friend, good bye" Stevens
replied, Good bye; give my love to my
friends in the other world" Coppic also made
remark to Stevens, which was unheard by
the crowd. But Stephens replied, "Never
mind" Both then shook hands with Hazlett,
and babe him good bye, but did not call him
by name.
On emerging from the Jail, Cook recognized
several gentlemen, and bowed politely. After
the cap had been placed on their heads, Coppic
turned towards Cook and stretched forth his
hand as far as possible. At the same time,
Cook said, "Stopa minute; where is Edwin's
handy" They then shook hands cordially,
and said, Good bless you" The calm and
collected manner Of both was very marked.
On approaching the scahold, Cook shook
hands with a large number of persons, and
bowed politely to Mayor Green
Cook said to a gentleman who addressed
him, that he fully believed slavery to be
sin, and that it would be abolished in Virginia
in less than ten years, and that too by the
people of Virginia. He was prepared to die
in such a cause, and thought he had done no.
thing to regret, so far as principle was con-
cerned.
Coppic said that he feared the affair was not
ended yet; that he had friends in the north
who would not rest satisfied, he feared till
they had been avenged. He hoped, however,
that the affair would end here forever.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.
Senate not in session.
HOITSE

WASHINGTON, Dec. l6.
Senate not in session
HOUSE.
On motion of Mr.. Niblack, it was resolved
that, till the election of Speaker, the clerk Of
the last House be authorized to exercise the
power devolvlng on the Speaker, for preserv-
ing order in the galleries and on the floor of
the House, Tor the time being, under the rules
OF the last House, and that the Sergeant-at-
Arms, Tor the IKE purpose, be under the di-
reetlon OF the clerk
Mr. Bonham said the whole country was
anXlously looking to the aspect OF affairs here
and inqnrlng why we don't elect a speaker.
The reason is that the House are unwilling to
place IN that chair an endorser of Helpers
infamous book. Democrats are justified in
resisting his election by all fair and honorable
means. lie had nothing to say against Mr..
Sherman personally, but denounced him poll
tically. Neither he nor any other man who
endorsed Helpers book was fit to be Speaker.

to the nomination heretofore made in caucus,
until such time as it is demonstrated that some
other person can secure the whole vote reduir-
ed, and an additional vote TO elect him and,
in that event, the committee heretofore ap-
pointed are hereby authorized to call another
meeting for the purpose OF comforting on the
subject"
Mr.. Pryor, after some preliminary remarks,
offered a substitute for Mr.. Craig's resolution,
as follows That the members of this confer
ence persist in the support of the Democratic
nominee for Speaker, until his declination, or
a conference OF the party, shall determine 9TH
erwise.
Mr.. Vallandigham concurred in what Messrs.
COchrane and Cox had said as to the sentiment
of the north and west on the subject of organ
izing.
MIR. Pryor's proposition was generally ac-
ceptable, but without vote, Mr.. Craig and
others previously making speeches in favor OF
it, the caucus adjourned.

Washington News

WASHINGTON, Dec. l5.-Messrs. Adams.
Elicit, and Train, members of the Massachu-
sets delegation, visited the President to-day,
and were courteously received. The Presi-
dent expressed an earnest desire that the
House be organized as soon as possible.

some OF those who have heretofore voted for
him going over to Mr.. Gilmer who was sup.
ported by Messrs. Adams of Kentucky. An.

Those who voted for Mr. Boteler after Mr..
Gilmer withdrew were Adams of Kentucky
Anderson of Kentucky, Anderson of Missouri,
Bouligny, Brabson. Briggs, Bristow, Deiar,
nette, Etheridge, Giimer, Hardeman, Harris of

lima, Mallory, Maynard, Moore of kentucky
Nelson, Quarles, Smith of Kentucky, Stokes,
Vance, Webster, and Wood.
The above explains the cause of the differ
S"Nc III inc result vi lne TWO votes taken to-
day. Such of the above-named as had before
voted for Sherman, returned to him after Gil
mer withdrew. 1t has been enormously stated
that MIR. DIN, who was absent on Friday, vot-
ed for Gimer on Wednesday. He voted as
before for Sherman.
The largely increased vote for Mr.. Glmer,
to day, came from the anti-Lecompton Demo
Gratis, and the New Jersey and Pennsylvania
Republicans elected on the "People's' ticket
1t was intended to test the Democrat members
who had the ability thus to elect a Southern
man for Speaker, if they wished. Mr.
Bocock's sc votes, added to Mr. Gilmer's
30 votes, would have made 122, or s
more than enough to elect. But no Dem
ocrat voted for Mr.. Gilmer, and he at once
withdrew his name. On the next ballot, Mr.
Sherman had one vote more than ever before
but still lacked four OF an election. The Repub
!lcan members tonight are sanguine Of success
They will adhere tn Mr. Sherman inhayihIv

Democratic Caucus.

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia Democratic eau
Gus was held at the capitol tonight. Mr..
Houston was chosen chairman, and Messrs.
Cox and Wright of Tennessee, secretaries.
Fifty members were present. On motion of
Mr. Ruffn speeches were limited to five min
utes. Mr.. Bocock expressed his thanks to the
Democratic members for their confidence in
him, and expressed his willingness to with
draw, if the caucus thought another man could
get largersvote.
Mr. Winslow advocated adhering to Mr. Bo-
cock. He preferred by far an anti-Lecompton
man to an American. Mr.. Stevenson spoke
against the plurality vote.
John Cochrane was in favor of having the
Democrats maintain their present position.
Mr., Cox of Ohio spoke to the same effect in
behalf of the largest delegation from the north.
He was unwilling to vote for any know moth
ing or for any man supported by know moth
ings, unless that man should be democrat,
but he was willing, at the same time, to
vote for an anti Lecompton Democrat, when
it could be shown that he could be elected.
Mr.. Montgomery took different view,
thinking there might be union between the
national men of the Americans and the Demo-
Gratis, so effected as to crush out sectionaisn.
He thought that Republicanism should not
have the patronage of the Capitol.
Mr.. Harris of Virginia, made an earnest APP
peal to gentlemen to stand by democratic prin.
ciples and men. He would not ask Democrats
to make such sacrifice as to vote for South
American.
Mr.. Garnett interrupted Mr.. Harris, and
stated that members of the American party
had informed him that they were as willing to
vote for Mr.. BOcock as for any other Democrat.
Mr.. Craig, Of Missouri, after some remarks,
moved that committee OF three be appointed
to confer with the minority on the subject OF
organization.
Mr.. Burnet opposed the motion, inquiring
"Who asks to confer with us, that we should
have such committee 2" He moved adher-
ence to Mr. Bocock.
Mr.. Hndman said he never would be trans
ferred by the caucus TO any one but a demo-
crat. Mr.. Dejarnette explained his vote for
Botcler lie thought he had voted for Mr..
Bocock as long as there was chance for
him.
Mr. Clemens offered the following resolution,
which was merely read for information:
