Sentenced TO be HunS-ArriSed at
the Penitentiary.
COLUMBUS, June 8.-John Barclay,
who murdered q man named GARNER,
near this city, some time ago, AMI who
has been on trial for the last ten days
and found guilty Of murder in the first
degree, was brought before Judge Olds
this morning to receive his sentence.
Barclay maintained the sangfroid that
has characterized his bearing through.
out the trial and walked with careless
tread to his seat, his face seemingly little
paler. In answer to the usual question
why Judgment should not be passed on
on him, be said in a low voice, though
without embarrassment, that he was
not guilty of the murder of GARNER;
did not get drunk for the purpose Of
numbering him; never entertained any
malice against him; that the scoun-
drels Clay and Lee swore to lies in say
ing that he confessed to them that he
committed the murder; he said while
in the army that he never injured any
one, qualifying the latter remark by
adding that be was sober. Judge Olds
then sentenced him to be hung on the
4th day of October next, between the
hours of 10 A. NJ. and 2 P. NJ. After
the sentence had been pronounced, Bar
clay remarked to one OF his jsilors,
Jesus Christ! there ought TO be some
body up here to see this thing" There
is no doubt in the minds of those who
know Barclay that he richly deserves
the sentence.
Louis Bradt, alias Oswold, who COM
mitted forgery about Is months ago on
a firm in this city and was sentenced for
five years in the peniteniary, but par
doned after serving one year, was re-
ceived again at that institution yester-
day from Cuyahogs county for four
wears term. He stated to the receiving
officer yesterday that since his relesse
he had received and squandered $4,000
sent him by his father from Europe,

The following anecdote OF the late
Mr.. Swain, from the Philadelphia Press
is not without moral in other localities
than Pennsylvania.
Many years ago, Mr. Swain, then ed
itor Of the PuJhc Ledgsr, wss hailed at
the corner Of Eighteenth and Chestnut
streets by very excited individual, who
informed him, in the most emphatic
terms:
II have stopped your paper, sir, aud
proceed to explain the why and the
wherefore, all the time gesticulatlng
wildly.
MY gracious, sir, You don't say 90
Come with me TO my office, and let US
zee If We cannot remedy the matter.
1t gyieves me that one should stop my
paper.
Down Chestnut street TO third, the
two proceeded. Arriving at the Office,
Mr.. Swain said:
Why, my dear sir every thing seems
to be going on here as usual | thought
you bad stopped my paper.
Then and there the excited gentle
man-wbon the long walk, by the way
had partly cooled-said that he had
stopped his one copy Of the L>dgT.
Mr.. Swain was profuse in bis apollo
gies for having misunderstood the
meaning OF his late subscribers words,
and regretted that he had given him the
tramp from Eighteenth street to third,
down Chestnut street. The gentleman
went on his way home, a wiser If not q
better man, Insrreling at the stupidity
OF editors in general, and Of Mr.. Swain
in particular. Before be left, however,
he ordered that the L>dgT be still sent
to bis address.

HOUSE.

The afternoon was consumed in fill.
clustering upon Mr. Garfield's motion to
non-concur in all the Senate amend
meuts to the sundry civil appropria-
ton bill and to refer the same to the
conference committee. He renewed
his motion in various forms, but was
met each time with dilatory motions on
the part OF the Democrats, who were
unwilling to trust the enforcement
amendment to the conference COM
mittee, as that would bring the ameHd-
ment within the control OF the majority
OF the House.
In reply to several inquiries the
Speaker decided that the minoity would
not lose their right to enter dilatory
motions indefinitely, even If the bill
should be referred to the conference
committee.
Mr.. Van Trump said there was no
guarantee that the majority, after they
got the bill in their control through the
report OF the conference committee,
would not overrule the decision just
made by the Speaker.
Filibustering was then resumed, and
the roll was repeatedly called on motions
to adjourn, take q recess, etc.
Filibustering was continued with q
view of preventing actios on the omni-
bus bill as amended by the Senate until
$40 P. NJ, when it was agreed to non.
concur in all the Senate amendments
and the bill was ordered to a conference
committee. Messrs. Garfield, Palmer
and Niblack were appointed as mem
bers Of the conference committee on
the part Of the House.
At 10 P. NJ. the House recessed until
