WASHINGTON, Feb. IL, 1877.
After the official announcement TO
the two Houses that the Commission
had given the four votes OF Florida
to Hayes and Wheeler, on Saturday.
the Houses separated and..the House
of Representatives took q recess un-
til ten o'clock this (Monday) morn.
ing. There have been suggestions
of delay on the part of Democrats,
to carry the final decision over be-
yond the 4th Of March, and the sug-
gestion has been made that the Com
mission be broken up by the yssigna-
ton of Democratic judges, Senators
and Representatives onit. But there
seems to be no reliable indications
that such course will be pursued.
The count will in oil probability go
on without improper delay. Lsgis-
lativs business will be almost entire
ly suspended, so intense is the feel.
ing among Congressman. The APP
preparation bills will 60 over almost
entirely. to an extra session after
March 4th. Various plumber schemes
also, in which strong Hobbies are at
work here at great expense, will lave
to wait.
The House Committee investigat.
ing Louisiana affairs has been 10
successful in unearthing the Radical
frauds and attempted frauds in that
State that the day was counted lost
which did not develop some new
atrocity. On Friday. however, the
proceedings were of a less serious
character, the principal interest Gen.
tering in the visiting statesmen"
who lent their dignity and legs TO .
quadroon ball at New Orleans. These
gentlemen, who went thers TO see .

to dance with ths-dusky dssesadasts

" One by One."

A short time ago an old resident
of ClalJam county passed from this
life to the next. The name of de-
ceased was VIM. Law, age about Al
years. He was, for about eighteen
years, resident of Dungeness, and
was engaged, at the time of his
death, in the dry goods and grocery
business. As usual, an extended
circle of acquaintance remains to
mourn the loss of the departed citi-
zen.
A recent letter to Mr.. Andrew J.
Chambers of this county, brings in
telligence of the death of Richard
Lane, another pioneer, who died at
The Dalles on the Goth ult. The
deceased was for many years a resi-
dent of this county, and had been
on visit to Yakima on business
connected with the estate of the late
C. H. Eaton, when a sudden i'll ness
put an end to his life. Mr.. Lane
was a man of generous impulses,
and the many acts Of kindness Of
which our people have been the re-
cipients during the many years h.
resided in this place, will cause
memory to revert with pleasure tc
the past.
The frequency of such para
graphs as these, forces the re-
Election that Washington Territory
is fast losing the first generation o.
her inhabitants. Soon there will be
mono left to narrate the unwritten le'
gends of the olden time.

The cause OF cremation is making great
progress In Europe as well as this country.
The late decision of the New York Board Of
Health In the case Of the Kircher child shows
that In that city there is no law prohibiting
the burning instead Of the burial OF bodies,
and it Is quite probable that IL the matter was
similarly tested In other cities 1t would be
found that everywhere the right to cremate
body exists.
In London the head centre Of the crema-
tionists meets. This body Is In correspondence
with all portions Of the globe, and Is collecting
all the facts and statistics attainable on this
subject Its reports show that the revival Of
the discussion OF this question some three
years ago has caused great revival In cre-
nation and that this practice now prevails in
quite a number Of European and American
cities Cremation seems to have taken the
FINEST hold in Germany and Holland. A
congress Of cremationists was held in Dres-
den last year, at which representatives from
Switzerland, England and France were pres
ent. At this congress a large sum OF money
was raised for the erection of a crematorium
where bodies can be burned. This crema-
forum Ia to be on the best and most scientific
plan. In Holland there are quite number
of cremation societies, and not only had a
large sum Of money been raised for this pur-
pose Of establishing furnaces to burn the
dead, but paper, The Cremati0nist, has been
started advocating this cause,
In Italy, also, the cremationists are quite
numerous and energetic, and have had a law
passed by the Italian parliament permitting
cremation. number Of crematoriums have
been erected at different places in the king
dom, and quite number Of families have
adopted this way of getting rid of their
dead.
In this country very few experiments OF
this kind have been made. and all Of these In
the North. There Is now one furnace at
Washington, Pa; two crematoriums, one at
Brooklyn and the other at Chicago, are in the
course Of erection. They will be completed
In few weeks, when they will be thrown
open for public use.
Altogether the cause of cremation has
moved forward wonderfully in the past year.
The cremationsts are earnest supporters of
this practice, and eloquent over the advan-
tage of having the ashes of ones ancestors
and relatives near at hand in the house.
