HOUSE.

Mr.. VOORHEES,, rising to a personal
explation, sent to the clerks desk in re.
gard to paragraph stating that he had
been strongly in favor Of Judge Davis
for the Presidency, but that since Mr..
Greeley was put in nomination he
(Voorhees) had been halting and hest
tating.
All the members o: the House imme-
diately flocked forward and gathered
around Mr.. VOORHEES,, who asked and
obtained leave to occupy twenty min
utes.
Mr.. VOORHEES, said that in what he
might have to say he would speak only
for himself and not for the Democratic
party. He had never halted and hest
tated as to his convictions and his
course, and did not halt or hesitate as to
Mr.. Greeley. If he could ever have
been tempted to halt and hesitate it
would have been when his party had
presented not more than fifteen votes in
this House. For his own part he was
not in favor OF Mr.. Greeley. Whoever
is in favor of high protective tariff
Mr.. Speer, Of Pennsylvania, inter.
rupting made a point Of order that Mr..
voorhees, was not confning himself to
a personal explanation.
The Speaker decided that he House
having granted twenty minutes to a
member, it could not then dictate his
line OF argument.
Mr.. Voorhees, then proceeded, de-
claring that whoever was in favor Of a
high protective tariff, a system which
had for years ground down the con-
stituency which he (Voorhees) repre-,
scented, would vote for the Cincinnati
nominee. He denounced Horace Gree.
ley as the most clamorous advocate OF
the Ku-Klux law which now desolates
the South. He Greeley had been an
earnest advocate of all legislation that
had paralyzed and impoverished the
South. The administration had been
charged with cruelty to the South, yet
executed laws dictated by the Cincinnati
nominee. Even at a recent date Mr..
Greeley had advocated an extension of
the time for the Ku-Klux law. He had
also been an earnest advocate OF the
force of the bsyonet election law, and
he had roared and ragged for placing the
elections OF New York State under Con.
gressional supervision. Going back
to the past, said Mr.. voorhees,, the
said Cincinnati nominee stands
firmly, without revocation, in favor Of
the inalienable rights under the Decla-
ration Of Independence Of any desig.

OBITUARY.
Thomas Buchanan Read.

At eleven o'clock on Saturday night
last, at the Astor House, New York,
the poetic soul of Thomas Buchanan
Read passed away from earth, leaving
its clayey tenement behind, over which
funeral rites will be celebrated amid the
tears of thousands Of warm and true ad-
mirers.
Mr.. Read was born in Chester county,
Pennsylvania, in 1892, and died just
upon the turning point OF half a cen.
tury. He was painter as well as a
poet, and both inspirations manifested
themselves in him from his earliest
youth. He possessed none Of the adj
vautages OF wealth or position, but was
compelled to make his own way in the
world.
His earlier poetical writings gained
him considerable reputation at home, as
did his earlier artistic efforts. In 1850
he visited Italy to pursue his artistic
education. Subsequently visited Eng
land, where he published collection OF
poems which were favorably received,
and which laid the foundation Of his
future fame.
From 1923 to 1853 he resided in
Florence, returning to the United States
in the latter year. Among the greatest
of his earlier works NAV be named his
prose romance, "The Pilgrims of the
Great st. Bernard" his poems, "rhe
House by the Sea- and The New
Pastoral" published in 1855; Sylvia,
or, the Lost Shepherd ETC., published
in 1857 "The Wagner of the Alle-
ghenies," a poem, published in 1862.
Among his many fine paintings, his
group of "Longfsllow's Children" is es,
teemed the best, and the very acme OF
art.
His latter poems and works are too
vivid to need recalling. His "Sberi-
dams Ride" was alone sufficient to i'm
mortalize him in the land OF his birth,
and carry his fame into distant lands.
In demeanor he was modest, rather re-
firing, affable aud kind.hearted almost
to a fault. All his impulses were warm
and generous, and his friendships were
ardent and enduring.
OF Thomas Buchanan Read it may
be truly said: All his poems were
pictures, and all his pictures were poems
OF his poems and his paintings, and his
unassuming modestv, 1t may he said in
the language Of Goethes Der Sanger 4:
"I sing as do the little birds,
That mid the branches lve
The song which pour forth in words
LIS own reward doth give"

CHICAGO, May l3.-The parade Of the

of wages or hours hours of work, but is
merely meant as a show ofthe number

Mariners and vessel owners in this
city are considerably excited over the
news OF ice gorges in Lake Erie near
| Buffalo. At last accounts there were
fifteen miles OF ice and about seventy
five vessels hemmed in. A few of the
stronger propellers have forced their
way through.
The trial OF Rev. John McLeish,
formerly pastor of the Seventh Presby-
terian Church, occupied the attention
of the Presbyterians during all Of last
week and to-day. The charges are
obtaining money under false pretenses.
The result OF the investigation has been
that the plaintiffs have failed to prove
what they expected, while the defense
have failed to exculpate their client,
and thus the matter is ended. The
probable result will be that Mr.. Nc
Leish will be simply censured, or at
most suspended from his ministerial
functions for a time and not deposed, as
has been the general supposition.

mittees of this county unite in issuing a

A special session Of the Cabinet wa:
held this morning, at which it was de
termined to transmit to the Senate tht
entire correspondence between thls gov
ernment and Great Britain on the sub
ject of the controversy growing out o
the Alabama claims under the Treaty
of Washington. The correspondence
is of considerable length. The Presl'
dent to-day nominated Medical Director
James C. Palmer to be Chief Of the
Bureau OF Medicine in Washington.
The Alabama claims correspondence
which was sent to the Senate to-day
does not include the correspondence
between this Government and that OF
Great Britain, regarding the supple,
mentary treaty covering the disputed
questions raised by the presentation OF
the indirect claims. 1t is simply the
correspondence which has taken place
up to Friday last, including dispatches
by mail and cable on the proposition OF
the British Government to Withdraw
from the arbitration unless our claims
for consequential damages were with
drawn. The correspondence was read
in Executive session to-day, and its con-
sideration may possibly continue for
several days, as several Senators express
desire TO discuss the subject at length.
The speech Of Hon. Daniel w. Noor
hees, in the House to-day, has created
intense excitement in political circles
here. Nothing else has been discussed
since the adjournment Of the House,
and comments are various.
The Senate Committee on Approprla'
tons have inserted an amendment in
the military appropriation bill repeating
the law passed last winter prohibiting
the Secretary Of the Treasury from
Withholding more than one'half of the
amount due the Pacific railroads for
the transportation of Government
freight. Should the amendment be-
come a law, these roads will be COM
PEELED TO pay the accrued interest,
amounting to over 81, 100000, and also
to pay all interest hereafter as it be'
comes due.
