House of Representatives.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Mr. Kelly asked
unanimous consent to report, from the com
mittee on ways aud means, joint resolution
authorizing the secretary of the treasury to
issue $2C0,000,O00 of 2 per cent. bonds or
certificates, in exchange for bonds bearing a
higher rate of interest.
Mr.. HazGltine objected, but subsequently,
withdrew the objection and after some ex-
plantations by Messrs. Kelly and Randall the
joint resolution passed.
The house went into committee on the
naval appropriation bill, the question being
on the amendment offered by Mr.. Calkins, to
strike out the provisions in regard TO pro-
motions to the grade of rear admiral.
After lengthy consideration of the bill, and
the adoption of several important amend
ments, the committee rose.
The senate bill to authorize the construc-
ton of a bridge across Sault ST. Marie river
passed
The bill to repeal so much of section 1856
OF the revised statutes as imposes tax on to-
bacco passed.
The speaker laid before the house message
from the president returning without his sp-
proval the bill to regulate the carriage of
passengers by sea. While expressing his en-
tire sympathy with the objects of the bill
he points out three defects in it. The first is
the use of the words "uppermost decks" ig-
noring entirely all reference to the spar deck,
with which almost all large modern vessels
are provided. The second is the requirement
of seven clear feet height between decks
The third is the requirement of passengers
being furnished before the vessel clears. This
would be lmpracticable in the case OF
steamers, new passengers coming on board to
the last moment. The practical result of the
law would be to subject all ocean steamers to
great losses and to restrict immigration. A
good bill of some character, correctly phiased,
would receive his prompt assent as public
necessity and blessing.
The message went over as unfinished bust
sess, and the house adjourned.

Abe Brain,

WASHINGTON, July DIR. Lamb was asked
| to-day if it was true that Guiteau's brain was
| found in a normal condition, and replied:
''That is true, as far as the brain is con-
cerned, but the membrane that envelopes it
was found TO be unhealthy and will be examin-
! ed closely"
"Wss the condition of the brain a surprise
| to your
"No; it could not have been very well; as |
had no expectation in regard to it. Isimply
examined the brain with desire to find as much
| as possible Of its condition.
Drs. Lamb and Sewers think it will be sew
eral days before the reports completed. Dr.
Hartigan is of the opinion that it will be
ready sooner. DR.. Hartigan said the men,
branes around the brain were apt to cause a
donbt in the minds of those who were dis
posed to favor the insanity theory. but he had
| often seen the same condition of the mem
brane in persons never suspected of insa nifty.
| DIR. Mcdonald, whose expert testimo nv
during the Guitesu trial formed one of the
| features, attended the autopsy, and was to-day
asked if it was true that the brain was found
| in healthy condition. Eyes" was the reply,
'that was the case. 1t could hardly have been
! in better condition. In weight 1t was only
half an ounce below the normal, and its ap-
pearance was natural and healthy"
"Was this not an unexpected result?''
mot TO me at least. It was no more than
| expected; and, as far as the brain shows the
| mental condition, l have seen no reason TO
change my opinion about the deceased"
''But does the brain indicate the mental con-
! dition?'
ITO certain extent yes, and as the work
with the microscope becomes accurate it will
| show it more fully. A diseased brain is re-
| garded as an indication of insanity, although
sane people have been known TO have diseased
| brains"
"But it is said that the membrane was
| diseased"
at was not healthy, and its condition
might and might not indicate disease. The
microscopic examination will show, and will
determine exactly what it does rdicate'
| "Wfll there be anything further developed
in the examination Of the brain TO change
your opinion?" asked the reporter.
| II don't see, now, how that can be. The
examination will be continued, and will be as
thorough as possible, and will give minute
particulars, but the general conclusion will
uot be changed. In my opinion the brain
| was good one."

The EdrS0f

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The body of Guiteau
was buried this afternoon IN the northeast
corridor of the Jail, and, so far as is now
known to the contrary, the remains will lie
there undisturbed by any future sculpture
Under the law the disposition of the bodies OF
criminals who are executed rests within the
discretion of the warden. In the case of
Guiteau, his sister (bIrs. scovilIe)
was without means and could
not have undertaken his burial
expenses even if permitted to do SO. The
Only other relative who has appeared upon
the scene, his brother (John W. Guiteau) was
unwilling to assume the risk of taking charge
OF the remains, believing he would be power
less to prevent body snatchers from stealing
them. Therefore, Gen. Croker resolved to
bury the assassin's body within the walls of
the Jail, where it would be beyond the reach
alike Of vengeance or speculation.
The northeast corridor in which he was
buried is upon the opposite side Of the ro-
tunda from the one IN which he was hung,
and from the window Of the cell il which he
was confined, one Jean look. tdown upon his
grave. The brick floor was removed this
forenoon and grave seven feet deep was dug.
At this afternoon the coffin
containing the body of Charles j.
Guiteau was borne from the chapel
ers, and without any service or ceremony
whatever was lowered into the grave and
buried from sight. The only persons present
were John w. Guiteau, DIR. Hicks, Warden
Croker and son, Mr. Wright, Undertaken
Russ, Capt. Crocker and the Six prisoners who
acted as pail bearers.
The coffin was closed last evening and no
one has since been permitted to see the re-
mains. Mrs. Seville, accompanied by Miss
Chevalier, arrived at the Jail shortly before
o'clock and importuned the warden to be al
lowed to see the remains and witness their
burial. Gen. Croker, however, renamed
firm in his determination not TO accede to her
demand, and after few minutes she returned
to the city, leaving number of flower pieces
which she had brought with her ard which
she expected to place upon the grave.
As the body was being taken down the steps
leading flom the chapel to the center OF the
rotunda OF the building the mourners, Or
rather witnesses, stood near the door leading
to the northeast rotunda, and as il was taken
down the flight of steps leading from the ro-
tunda to the back floor of the corridor they
silently filed in behind the convict pail bear
ers. Arrived at the grave, the little process
sion halted. Warden Crocker looked inquIr-
ingly first toward DR.. Hicks and then TO
John Guiteau. Gail right" said
he has exhibited all through the ordeal of the
past three days, and the coffin was at once
lowered to its place.
After the earth had been replaced, and the
top OF the grave leveled off, John Guiteau
stepped forward and placed at its head crown
OF white immortelles. Not a word was
spoken; not q tear was shed. An outcast
from human sympathy when living, Guiteau
had found an unwept sepulture.
