ing set apart for the Cbselues of the late Scna.

the cssket containing the reualns of the de.
ceased Senator was placed, was directly in front
Of the Vice Presidents desk.
Shortly after II clock number of officers
of the army and navy aud diplomatic corps en-
tered and took seats reserved for them. At
1920 the House of Representatives iu body.
marshaled By their Speaker aud Clerk, were
announced and entered. the Senate rising to
receive them. Then came the chief and asso-
ciated justices of the Supreme Court, with their
marshal and clerk, who were conducted to seats
to the front of the Vice President. Next came
the President and his cabinet, then the com.
mittee of arrangements, the chaplain, Dr. Sun
derland meanwhile reading, Il am the resur-
rection and the life, saith the Lord" &C. The
casket containing the body was brought in aud
placed on the catataque, the entire assembly
standing. Rev. Dr. Butler opened the cere-
monies by reading passages OF Scripture from
Corinthians l., 10th chapter, I'D to 2Sth
verses. The subsequent services were by Rev
Dr.. Sunderland, who read from Psalm 80, 18th
verse, and Psalm 90, commencing at I'd verse,
after which be offered lengthy prayer, when
the religious exercises were closed.
Flags were flying at halt-mast, all the public
buildings and many private residences were
draped in mourning. Al one time there must
have been fully ten thousand people 10 the
Capitol grounds. The colored people were out
in large numbers, and eyiuced their earnest,
ness OF feeling by the solemoi,y of their looks
and quietness of behavior.

THE SINKING FUND.-The Senate has pass
ed bill appropriating $3.50, 900 annually to be
used by the commissioners Of the sinking fund
in the purchase of ''consol'' coupon bonds at
the lowest market price, said bonds to be can
celIed and the public debt to that extent re-
duced. There was no discussion upon the merits
of the bill, but 10 the Finance Committee, from
which it was reported, the friends of the meas
ure gave their views. They stated that if the
State continues to pay four per cent interest
her debt will increase, by reason of accumula-
ton of unpaid interest, at the rate OF s60O'Ooo
per annum, and will sooD become so large as TO
be unmanageable: The fact that the United
States constantly buys up her bonds in the
markets of the country was cited as an ius'ra-
ton of the practicability Of the scheme

JURISDICTION OF STATE COURTS. In the
II. s. District Court, Judge Hughes, sitting IN
Richmond, among other important rullog'
made on Thursday, was one ia case Involving
the question whether restraining order which
had been granted in 1878 upon petition COM
planning of the adjudication by the Circuit
Court of Brunswick declaring a conveyance
which had been made by the bankrupt OF real
estate fraudulent, should be dissolved. The
court decided that where a court OF competent
jurisdiction had entertained and adjudlcated
question of fraud affecting bankrupt real
: estate this court would not reopen that ques'
ton. 1t therefore dissolved the restraining or
der which had been granted, restralrlng the
sale of baukrupt's property adjudged to have
been fraudulenty conveyed, the order having
been obtained on petition insisting that the
conveyance had been made in good faith, anu
complaining of the decree Of the State court

philanthropists, who have either s4uan-
dered his money, or, which is about the
same thing, lent it out upon worthless Sc

banks, such as we have in Charleston, the
money woulds have been entirely safe.

sources of revenue during the four years
ending October 81, 1872 was 81, 563, ,274.-
81, out of which Sl,756,5 ,55j was spen:
upon the Legislators, and for public print
ing. As I have before stated the amount
of S3,Sl9, ,932. 26 was all that could be
properly charged to the account of cur
rent expenses of these four years. 1t will
therefore be seen at a glance that the
legislature and public printing absorbed
nearly one half of the entire amount ex,
pended.
1t will be observed that considerably
more than one third of the entire reve'
nue. of the state is absorbed to put il
mildly for two purposes alone, viz: legis
lative expenses and public printing. L
the legislators, who are alone responsible
for the robbery are returned to the legis
lature, God help the state.
Every member of the Beaufort delega
tion voted for the printing frauds, time
and again.
1t will be observed that the annual av
erage amount collected from taxation il
the four years ending October 81, 1872
was 81, 14O, ,SO9. 80, as against 81, ,79S,27(
in 1873. Thus the taxes wrung from tn,
people during this Reform Administra
tion are larger by $657, AGO. 81 than undeI
the previous administration.
