OBITUARY.

Mrs. CATHERINE HENDERSON, the late wife
of Mr.. Willis Henderson, Of Hybla Valley,
Fairfax county, Va.-The death of this most
excellent lady-for lady she was, in every true
sense of that word-claims from the writer OF
this, his poor tribute Of respect and gratitude
for her rare worth and gOoJneS2, which should
be recorded, her example known, and ever re-
membered.
He was her near neighbor more than twenty
years. Always in very feeble health, for the
last fifteen years she was almost entirely con-
fined to her bed by eXcrnciating illness; and
yet she was ever mindful Of the wants and suf-
terings Of Others. Enjoying abur dant wealth
herself, she never forgot her less fortunate
neighbours; but most kindly sympathized and
shared it with them.
For himself and family the writer Of this
would BIO base and uneratcful indeed did he
not remember and bear witness to her great
goodness. During the more than four long
years of the late war, while we were constantly
surrounded by vile miscreants, who plundered
and tortured all they could lay their hands on,
this noble woman never omitted An occasion Of
more than once saced as from starting, and 1t.
too, atthe peril Of being subjected to the same lot
herself. And yet We had no claim on her be-
yond that Of mere neighborhood. Even so late
as the sum-. or Of 1866, when the writer of this
had been confined to his bed for months, she,
for the first time in years past, left her house
and had herself carried to his, to try and con-
sole him in his dread III slifferings. It was the
last time she ever went from home.
Gods blessings ever be on that kind, gentle.
generous spirit, will always be the prayer Of
him. who owes her so deep q debt Of gratitude.

SECURITY OF PUBLIC MoNEY.-Ot the
many financial schemes and projects Of reform
now pending in Congress, few are Of more i'm
p~ortance than the bill of Mr.. Randall, of Penn
s%ylvania, which has passed the House of Rep.
resentatives, to insure the safe-kcaplng OF
public money. The bill in effect promises a
return to The sub-treasury system. The fea-
lures of The measure are, prohibition Of public
deposits in banks in any cities or places where
there is a treasurer or assistant treasurer OF the
United States, and forbidding the collecting
and discussing officers of the government who
are within fifty miles Of any treasurer or assist
ant treasurer, from dcpositing public moneys 10
banks.

MORE ScENEs.-In the Richmond Convcn-
ton, on Saturday, on a resolution against ad-
hitting so many people on the floor Of the
house, Mr.. Curtiss argued in favor OF 1t, and
said something in regard to the gentleman from
Norfolk being always ready to delay the Con
~vention, and never neglected the opportunity
of making useless speeches.
Mr.. Bowden Do you speak of me, Sir?
Mr.. Curtiss: No, sir; OF your colleague, DR..
Bayne. .
Bayne, vehcmently Mr.. President, [ arise
to a pint Of order, sir. | wants to know sir, II

sir, and %cuttailin Their rights, Sir, to speak on
dis floor, sir. Sir, [ deny dc proposition OF de
gentleman. and states that [ has rights to speak
here as we'll a. other people.
Mr.. Porter called the previous question ;
which was sustained. The vote was taken,
and resulted ayes, 65 noes, 81.
Hr. Hawxhnrst voted aye, and did so, he
said, because he had been openly lnsulted BY
the Chair, on yesterday, for voting the other
way, and he would vote as he chose.
Tcamoh voted aye because he thought that
the Jane Of this Convention was long speeches
and a plenty of them.
Subsequently. when the previous question
had been carried on some question about taxa
ton, Mr.. lIawxhurst moved to reconsider the
vote.
Mr.. Thomas claimed that such would be out
OF order at that tine.
Mr.. Hawxhurst said that he thought it un-
gentlemanly and unparliamentary to be push
ing matters in that way.
Mr.. Thomas: What did you say, sir.
Mr.. Hawxhurst: | said, sir, that | did not
