HON. JOHN COVODE.

Memorial Address of Hon. william ID. Kelley
In the House of hepresentatIves.
On the official announcement of the death
of Hon. John Covode in the House of Repre-
sentstives to-day, Mr.. Kelley spoke as fol-
lows:-
Mr.. Speaker:-We have again been pain
fully reminded that there is an appointed
time to man on earth, and that he is con-
sumed and vanisheth away as the cloud.
When on Friday, the 9th of January, he left
Washington for brief visit to Philadelphia
and Harrisburg, few of us appeared to have
firmer hold on life or the more assured pro-
mise of green and comfortable old age than
my late colleague, Hon. John Covode. De-
scending from ancestors on either side whose
lives had been prolonged beyond the allotted
period, endowed with a robust and muscular
frame, and having enjoyed singular immu-
nity from disease, he was happy in the
thought that at the expiration of this Con-
gress he was to return to private life and de-
vote his energies to the promotion of several
enterprises in which his interests and feelings
were engaged. But it was not so appointed.
He was not to return to his place in this hail.
and the execution of his cherished purposes
was to be confded to other hands.
From Philadelphia he went with his
younger sons to West Chester, Pennsylvania,
to replace them in the excellent academy in
which they had been receiving those educa-
tional advantages of which untoward circum-
stances had deprived their father. Accompa-
MED by his wife, he proceeded to Harrisburg
on the 10th of January. He was in the en-
ioyment of his usual vigorous health, and
passed the evening in cheerful intercourse
with friends assembled at its capital from the
several quarters of his native State. Expect
ing to take the early morning train, he re-
tired early and slept, free from apprehension
| of the dread summoner. About 3 O'Clock he
was awaked by a severe pain about the heart
What wife and friends and medical skill
could do for his relief was done; but in les
tLan two brief honrs t'e strong man feeh'.

QUERY ?-Some workmen lately excavating
outside the wallsof Oadiz suddenly came upon
large slab of marble, bearing some at pre-
sent undeciphered characters. Raising the
slab, they found it covered the entrance to a
small vault. Provided with lights, they de-
scended seven steps, and found it to be forty
metres square by four high. In small recess
they discovered seven large amphore, and in
the centre two smaller ones secured by a
chain. In these were found two tablets appa-
rently covered with inscriptions in wax, and
supposed to be in early Latin, as we'll as

THE RECENT HORROR.

The Hudson River Railroad Accident-Ohicial
Investigation by the GOroner-restimouy OF
Conductors md Passengers Twenty-one
Victims Already Discovered
PoUGHKEEPsIE, Feb. 8.-The Coroner's in
quest in the case of the recent railroad acci-
dent was commenced here to-day, before
Coroner Andrus, upon the body of James
Stafford.
CHARLES CossUAd,
conductor of the express train, sworn, said:-
We left New York at six minutes past s, on
Monday evening; we should have left at
P. M.
Iwas sitting in the rear end of the second
sleeping car with Mr.. Scott, conductor; he
heard the first whistle that was blown; passed
Fisbkin fifteen minutes past ten; whistle was
probably blown at twenty-six minutes past
ten; was seventeen minutes behind at Fish
kill; our time there is fifty-eight minutes past
nine; heard the second whistle, and went out
on the platform and commenced putting on
he brakes; Scott followed me out and put on
the brake on the other car; as l got my brake
on and turned to take hold of the other, I
felt the engineer reverse his engine; in short
time. two or three seconds, l felt shock, and
the car then went on fifteen or twenty feet and
then came to q dead stand; there were but
tive sensations; / saw glare of light, and
looking out saw a mass of flames; was on
the light flashed like gunpowder; there was
no fire till the engine struck; oil from the oil
car then entered the fire-box of the engine
and became ignited; the fire sprang up like a
wall of fame; the fore part of my car was
then in the fire; 1 heard no explosion; you
could see nothing because of the fire; Scott
and myself then got all the passengers out of
the car; the car was then all on fire; it was
the second -sleeping-ear; there was only one
in front of it; the train consisted of the
locomotive, express-car, baggage-car, five
sleeping cars, and one coach; when
we went out of the second car
thought the flames would follow back
third car, and that part of the train wa
uncoupled and showed back; part of the OF
train had broken loose and gone south ant
the other part was further back; when go

ter, also awarded seat in the Forty-frst
Congress. His influence was not confined
to his county or Congressional district. 1t
was felt throughout the State not only in
politics, but in all measures projected for the
development of its boundless material re-
sources. Having conducted the campaign
that resulted in the reelection of General
Geary, he was at the time of his death
Chairman of the Republican State Central
Committee.
In comparatively early manhood he became
the owner of the woollen mill in which he
had been employed when a boy. He watched
with interest our progress in the manufacture
of textiles and labored to promote their di-
versifcation and perfection. But his mill
did not offer an adequate field for his activity.
He took jealous part in promoting the con-
struction of internal improvements by which
the seaboard should be connected with the
then opening West, and on the completion of
the Pennsylvania Canal engaged largely in
the business of transportation. He was also
a liberal and energetic promoter of the con-
struction of the Pennsylvania Central Rail-
road. On the completion of this road to
Lockport, where he lived and superin-
intended his mill, he concentrated
bis stock upon the western sections
of the canal and engagedin forwarding to aud
from Pittsburg the rapidly increasing freight
moved by the railroad. About this time he
also organized the Westmoreland Coal Com
pany, which has developed the immense de.
posits of gas coal that underie in such affiu-
ence his native bills. BY this operation he
added to the wealth of every farmer in the
county, for the army of stalwart men now
earning liberal wages by mining and hand
hing this coal is SO numerous that it gives
them a steady home market not only for the
cereals, but the minor productions of the
farm which will not bear extended transpor-
tation.
Mr.. Speaker, what have said is sufficient
to show that Mr. Covode was a man of power
and useful citizen. He had long been
member of the Methodist Episcopal Church,
was faithful to all the relations of life, and
his story may be read with profit by the youth
of the country. Born subject to those "twin
jailers of the daring heart, low birth and iron
fortune" and receiving the benefits of but the
smallest opportunities for early culture, he
mastered fortune, commanded the confidence
of his neighbors and fellow-citizens, and Sc
cured for his name an honorable place in his
countrys history, and, by originating and
promoting benefcent enterprises, wrote it
enduringly on the hills and in the homes of
his native county. He left wife and seven
children to mourn his sudden death. The
results of his provident care surround them,
and their sorrow is alleviated by the conf
dent assurance that h. who was so fondly de-
voted to them has entered upon the rewards
that are earned by well-spent life.

MINING MATTER !

Jus. now, while the Indian question is the lead. ing one with our people, we have tO devote 60 much time and space to il, that, for few weeks past, we have failed to come to time with anything like a ul and complete mining review nor can We do 70 iu this issue. We wish 10 say however. that mlnrrr, prOspcctors, and people generally of the entire Territory are more than ever satisfied oi the richness aud Pcrmtn"ucy of our mines and well they may be, for almost every stroke struck on A ledge bcrc. reveal, suuctAing bug in tue way oi rich minerals, or pure precious metals and new and rch lodges are, almost every day found. The latest discovery iu this line is s.l. yer mine, discovered during the latter bart oi last week, by Me5-rs. Stephens, May, Kelly and Alexander, who named 1t tue General Crook '" in honor, of course, of our gallant defender This mine is scarcely three miles south from Prescott hul this iac does Lot, in the least, d"trart from its value, although there are those among Us who appear 70 think that nothing good and rich cdu exist sO close tO home. Al least many people have thoaght 40. But, the "Gcu-rii Crook !" ms been te-ted .niiicleutiy tD warrant the a-scr. ton and belief thut it Is almost, ii not quite as big, rich, and extensive any other uIne yet found 10 this section Ui the Territory Then. Ii, situation s big item in its favor, it being in tue midst Oi a big pine forest, close To eycrla. ting water aud within . stOuc's throw Of an excellent wagUn-rOad. The ore Oi ths mine bear. close resemblance to the beet Comstuck ore, and pieces Of it have as,ayrd a- high S2,OJO co the ton. It's width, on the surface, l. sad tD be fully -iX feet; and thr ledge has been found and located for a di-tuuce Ot t~o miles or more. To say that ihc discovery Of 70 rich extensive, and well de- fined a silver vein so close 10 Prescott created quite -tlr among our ciiizrns Is no more than tue truth, and scores of them rode out Co see it The mine is now being opened, and should it hold its present width and richness, H.astrls tO
 test the ore, will speedily be set up. Good judges gay the ore contains little, if any, base metal. New aud rich le1gcs have aisO been discovered iu Pine Grove and Turkey Greek districts, during the past two weeks, Oi which great things are ex. pccted.
