the hope that no attempt would be
made to prees a vote on this case this
week.
Mr.. Ferry, of Conn, hoped that the
subject would be postponed until after
the holidays, and that report OF the
facts surrounding the credentials should
be had as they were investigated last
session by Committee Of the Senate.
He would moi object to the resolution
being taken up now but would object to
vote being pressed this week as be
desired 10 say something.
Mr.. Fentou, OF New York, inquired
what effect the consideration o. this
resolution would have on the resolution
reported by the. Committee IN France,
if the former would be iald a-:ir and
the latter be taken up.
The Chair replied that the resCiaron
OF the Finance Committee was 10 re-u.

Mr. IoIiUu .nr- -ddrsssed the Sem
ate in favor OF his resolution. He ar
gued that the investigation OF last win
ter into the Louisiana matters, had
nothing to do with the present case, and
lie protested against having this case
overrued by that sort OF argument and

should be rushed through without con"

a privileged question,

er was exercised to overthrow the State

mower, but Congress had authority to
do it. He said the President had
determined who was Governor and
which was The Legislature Of Louisiana.
The House sgreed with the President.
The State OF. Louisiana was wronged

HOUSE.

Mr.. Willard of Vermont, offered a
resolution directing the Committee on
Reform Of the Civil Service, to inquire,
first, If any relnction can be made in
the cost of the Civi! Service, in the
number oi officials and IN the compen-
cation paid, without ehaCtiDg the eff.
ceucy o! the service; and second, TO
INQUIRE as to the expeliency OF provid-
ing that al officials shall receive as
compensation only such salary as is
fixed and determined by law. Adopted.
Mr.. Lettrell, OF California, asked
leave to offer a resolution reciting that
the several Pacific Railroads were in
arrears 10 the government, and directing
tue Committee on Judiciary to report
bill Authorizing and requiring the
Attorney General to inaugurate the nee
essary proceedings to enforce the pay
ment OF the accrued interest due by
said roads.
Mr.. Sypher, of louisiana, objected.
The House then proceeded to the
consideration Of the bill to repeal the
bankruptcy act.
Mr. Tremaine, Of New York, in
epeaking OF the bill, said that the Com
mittee on Judiciary had agreed that
there was serious defects in the law as
it existed and the only difference OF
opinion were whether the law should be
repealed absolutely or whether it should
be amended. The majority OF the Com
mittee had decided 70. repeal. He
thought that the country demanded re-
lief from the bill He said that no
other bankruptcy law was so adverse
as this, especially lite involuntary fes-
lures, which would force a man into
bankruptcy no matter how honest he
might be. That such law should have
remained upon the statute book for the
period OF six years was TO him en- eyi-
deuce OF the forbearance OF the Ameri-
can people. He believed that the late
financial panic was in part due to the
existence OF this law on the part Of the
great State OF New York. He asked
that the Houee would pass the pending
bill before the holidays and it would be
hailed with joy by the country.
Mr.. Wilson, OF Indiana, opposed the
pend ng bill He referred to the failure
Of Jay Cooke d Co, in that depart
ment, and attributed all the financial
evils that had come upon the country
TO their failure and owing to the fact
tbs, they had made insestments in
speculative stocke. The 43d Congress
had scarcely met when the lawyers OF
Jsv Cooke i Co., came into this body
and asked for the passage of the pend
ing bill. He believed il was all in the
interest OF speculation. The title should
be chsDged, and the bill should be call
ed, "a bill 10 eubsrrass justice" Under
this law the firm OF Jay Cooke Il Co.,
s1d others could 60 on with their

PROF. AGASSIZ.

The post -mortem examination of Professor
Agassiz was held on Tuesday, and lasted up
wards of four hours. The brain and all the
vital organs especially the heart, were examin.
ed with great care. The stomach and liver, so
far as yet appears, were free from disease !;
but in the heart were found evidences of the
trouble with which the Professor suffered a
few years ago. Special attention was paid to
the brain, which was fouud to be very large
and heavy, though its exact weight has not
yet been determined. The quantity of blood
in the brain was not usually large-at least,
not large enough to indicate disease. Care
ful examination was made of the base of the
brain, and the physicians, though yet unpre-

pared to give definite opinion, seem inclined
to regard this as the principal seat OF the dis
ease The council determined, however. to
bring to bear every resource that modern
science furnishes. This will require a close
microscopic study of the brain, and to insure
success in this it will be necessary to allow it
time to harden. Formerly in diseases Of the
brain ''gross examination" rs it is termed,
was made, and if simple Inspection Of the
organ revealed no disease the examination
was no further pursued. The microscopic
methods, however, while they postpone the
verdict, make the determination OF much
much more value. After concluding their ex-
animation the several physicians divided their
investigations separately or conjointly as the
case might require.

The Supreme Court in the case of the Union
Pacific Railroad Company VS.. Periston, de-
cided that the road bed and other property Of
said road was liable TO taxation by States
through which it runs. The opinion was con-
Cured in by majority of the judges. Mr.
Justice Story delivered the opinion, in which
Justices Clifford, Miller and Davis concurred,
that the railroad corporation was not such an
fundamentally of the government as entitled
it to claim exemption from State taxation.
Mr.. Justice Swayne delivered an opinion of
his own to the effect that while Congress had
power to exempt a railroad from State taxa
ton, it had indicated no purpose of doing so.
Justice Bradley, Field and Hunt dissented,
and held that case was governed by former
cases in respect to ia xation of the old United
States Bank.

Dedication of Bearce's Hall.

Friday afternoon Bearce's Hall of the Maine
Wesleyan Seminary and Female College Asso-
citation, was dedicated, the address upon the &C.
casion being delivered by Rev. DR.. Pierce of
Boston. The building was completed some
months ago but the dedication Was delayed I'M
til the entire Indebtedness of the institution
should be discharged. During the morning the
last financial obligation was met and in the af-
ternoon the new chapel was completely filled by
friends made happy by the fact that during the
fifty-two years of the schools existence they

The discourse of DR.. Pierce was not less hap
py than the faces around him. 1t was neither
a sermon or address but happy blending OF
both, illustrating the necessity of personal con-
secration in whatever one undertakes to per-
form.
DIR. Jersey was enabled to be present few
moments at the closing exercises. He goes to
Florida this winter hoping to regain his health
that he may renew his school work on his re-
turning.
The prperty of the institution consists of two
fine new buildings erected at a cost of about
100000, farm of 275 acres with buildings
thereon, and an invested fund of $45,000. The
school is now in strong and vigorous condi-
ton, employing six male and six female teach
ers. The excellence of the music department is

EXECUTION OF THE MODOCS.
ImpreSsing on the UntutOred
Mind.

JACKSONVILLE, Oregon, Oct. 3.-The Modoc
prisoners were executed today. At precisely
4.45 o'clock the interpreters, Capt. A G. Apple
gate and David Sill, explained to the prisoners
the Adjutant. At 10 o'clock Adjutant Kingsbury
read the order promulgating the sentence of
the commission and the Presidents order
thereon, with the order of the Secretary of War
and the department commander in the premi-
Ses.
The two reprieved prisoners, Bamcho and
Sloluk yet stood on the ground in front of the
scaffold, shackled and under guard.
During the reading the pinioned victims
were seated on the platform of the scaffold
with their feet on the drop, listening anxiousy
but of course understanding not word of it.
The reading occupied ten minutes. Then the
adjutant read the order and the Communication
in the case of Bamcho and Sioux, and they
were taken back to the stockage.
The chaplain then offered an earnest and
fervent prayer, for the souls of the culprits,
which was listened to attentively.
At 1915 O. clock the fatal noses were placed
around their necks. 1t was necessary to cut off
little of Capt Jacks long hair which was i in \
farewell to the prisoners and the black caps
were placed over the heads of all the culprits.
At 1920 o'clock they stood on the drop and
the rope was cut by the assistant. The bodies
were swung round and round, Jack and Jim
apparently dying easily, but Boston and Schon-
chin suffering terrible commissions.
AS the drop fell with a terribly deadly thud
fonr poor wretches, human beings, fell into
eternity, and half smothered cry of horror
went up from the crowd of over 500
klamath Indians who witnessed the
awful spectacle. Walls of deep and bitter
anguish went mp from the stockade, where the
wives andichldren of the poor fellows had a
fair view of the shocking scene.
An application was made this morning to
Gen. WheatoR, by the sheriff of Jackson
county, Oregon, for the custody of the Indians
indicted by the grand jury but it was refused.
