THE HOUSE,

The chaplain of the house yesterday morning,
in few touching words, referred TO the death OF
the Hon. d. c. Haskell, of Kansas, and invoked
tho divine blessing upon the bereaved family.
Mr.. Scales, of North Carolina, presented the GER
"tiicate of election of Thomas g. Skinner repre-
sentative elect from the first district of North Caro-
lima, and asked that the gentleman bo sworn in.

States ana Joined that sublime general assembly
of representatives nom all nations, continents,

Of life and woke to that Immortality vouchsafed

has served during the last three congresses with
ever-increasing ability, fidelity and efficiency, and
had he been spared TO occupy this seui, uraped
with the emblems OF mourning, but brightened
with the flowers of Christian hope, he would have

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-lhose who read the
Presidents message atientively will remember
that he indorsed the views of the secretary of the
navy in regard to the Importance from national
and military point of view of the proposed water
way across the peninsula of Florida. The pas
sage in the secretarys report referring to this
subject appears under the head of "Coast De-
fenses" and is as follows:
"There is one measure OF national defense in
regard TO which the argument cannot be made, as
in tho case of ships and guns, that modern dis
coyery is likly to make such improvements in the
art OF construction that action might for the pre-
sent be deferred. This is the creation OF an in-
terror coast line of water across the head OF
the peninsula of Florida, along the coast from
Florida TO Hampton Roads, between the Chesa-
peake Bay aud the Delaware, and through Cape
Cod. To these should be added u railway from
the mainland of Florida 10 Key West. To secure
the combined commercial and military advaii.
tages which these avenues for merchants and
naval vessels would afford, work should be i'm
mediately begun and deliberately aud economi
cally prosecuted, and not left 10 be done hastily
and expensively in an emergency"
1t Will be seen from this that In addition to its
unparalleled commercial advantages, the ship
canal project has attracted the attention OF the
United states government as an important meas
ure of national deiense-sO important, indeed
that work ON 1t should be Immediately begun
and deliberately aud economically prosecuted,
and not lett to be done hastily and expensiyely
In an emergency"
Ilearned to-day from one of the officers Of the
ship canal company that at It's recent meeting the
board OF directors agreed upon q programme
which Is 10 be submitted TO q meeting OF stock
holders to be held here ON Jan, 0. If the pro-
gramme be adopted by the stockholders the enter
prise will then be In shape to meet the views OF
capitalists who propose TO furnish the means for

public men and men Of business Is increasing.

HUNTED EVEN TO THE GRAVE.
The Baseicss Rumors Concerning the Late
Mrs. Christiancy's Funeral.

Tho tongue of rumor was busy yesterday with
wide and noisy talk regarding the funeral of the
late Mrs. Lille NJ. Christiancy, which occurred
Sunday. The body was allowed TO remain in the
depot from a. M until Just before 1t was conveyed
to the grave, at p. ltwas charged by some that
the relatives OF the deceased lady had manifested
indifferent interest in regard to the funeral, and
that no arrangements had been made until the
last minute when the undertaken, anticipating diff
fculty, took the matter in his own hands. Another
story was that the landlady of the boarding house
where the parents of the late Mrs Christiancy re-
side had refused to allowhe funeral to take place
from her house. still another rumor recited that
the pallbearcrs had not been selected until the
funeral started for the cemetery. These rumors,
coming to the ear of a REPUBLICAN reporter, were
promptly investigated. The sister of tho deceased
pronounced the rumors to be wanton
fabrications She stated 1t had been
arranged before leaving New York
to have the remains conveyed to the chapel at
Oak Hill Gem eteiy upon their arrival here. This,
however, could not be done, as the cemetery did
not open until q later hour, and then 1t was de.
cided 10 let the body remain in the depot until
the corege started for the grave The epallbearers,
she stated had been selected by Capt. Cole on
Saturday. The friends of the family are very in
denant about the rumors and cannot account for
their origin.
