Senator Carpenter, this afternoon,
went into the supreme courtroom, and
moved that the court adjourn over to-

army and navy officers of the marine
corps respectively.
IN THE HOUSE.
In the house, the only allusion to
Senator Summers death in the chap
lain's opening prayer, was an expression
of thanks for the true and courageous
men ever raised up to defend that which
is just and right, and of the hope that
the dispensation over which the nation
mourned to-day might be sanctifed.
After the reading of the journal, no
business was entered upon and no mo-
ton of any kind was made but the
members sat in their seats amid MUIR
muir of conversation for the expected
message from the senate, announcing
its action on the death of the Massachu-
sets senator.
Soon message was received from the
senate, and thereupon e. R. Hoar
Mass. rose and, in q fearful voice and
with great sadness of manner, said:
''The event which the resolutions of the
senate announce fell upon the ear of this
house and of the country yesterday with
startling suddenness. To-day wherever
news of it spreads over this broad land,
not only in this city among his assoei-
ates in the public councils; not only in
the old commonwealth, of which he
was the pride and ornament, but in
many quiet homes; in many cabins of
the poor and lOwly, there is to-day mex
pressible tenderness and profound sor-
row. There are many of us who have
known and loved him, whom this event
units for public duties, or for any
thoughts other than those of that pure
life-that faithful public service-that
assured Immortality.
Mr.. HOar-In response to an invita-
ton of the senate, l offer these resolu-
tiOns:
Resolved, That this house will attend
the funeral of Charles Sumner, late SEN
ator fIom Massachusetts, in the senate
chamber tomorrow, and on its return to
this house the speaker shall declare the
house adjourned.
ResolUed, That a committee of nine
members be appointed, who, with the
members of the house from Massachu-
sets, shall accompany the body of the
! deceased senator to its place of burial in
! that commonwealth.
ReSOlUed, That as q testimonial of re-
\ spect for the memory of the deceased,
| the members and officers of the house
will wear the usual badge Of mourning
| for thirty days.
The resolutions were adopted.
The speaker, remarking that the reSO-
! lutions contemplated the attendance of
| the Massachusetts representatives in s
nearer capacity than as members of the
! house, announced the following as q
/ committee to accompany the body to
! Massachusetts: MessTs. Hurlbut, Hale of
! Maine, Foster, Rainey, Clayton, Scud-
der, Randall, Beck and Hancock.
The house thereupon adjourned.
