Jefferson Gedney, aged sixty-elght years,
brother of Rear Admiral Gedney OF the
United States navy. For twenty
wears he was Familiarity known to
the marine world OF Galveston as
"Capt. jeff" For eighteen years past
up to the time OF mis- death, he was mas
ter of the government light-ship No. 2s,
which Hes in Galveston roads, near the
outer harbor. In his latter years the old
captain was the slave OF liquor. On ship
board he was Il commander and gentle
man, maintaining strict discipline, and IL
was his boast that in sixteen
years, through storm and sun
shine, the ship lights were al
ways burning at the appointed
minute. On shore the grand old mar
liner degenerated into grovellng drunk
ard, and would spend his time mostly
hanging about saloons. One peculiarly
about him was the fact that he would
never go TO bed, when he came ashore ana
began his spree. lie would sit around
sleeping in chairs for week or ten days,
and then going down to the sup
Div department would ask to be sent TO
the hospital, from which he would emerge
In a weeks time, pay his bills, go back to
the ship where his life was one OF sobrl-
ETY.. Friday he came ashore for the last
time and Immediately began his quarterly
spree. Entering saloon on Market
street toward noon to-day, he bought !
few ginger cakes and began eating one,
when he was observed TO be choking, and
after few feeble efforts he iell
back In his chair dead. Capt. Jef was
1 man of many noble qualities and always
a final authority on marine matters
with the influence Of powerful relatives
he held his position through many
administrations Unlike ms cele,
brated brother he espoused

States citizens on account OF inventions
OF discoveries, reported resolution which
was adopted, requesting the committee
on judiciary to answer the questions
asked by said resolution, aud advise the
the house as TO the present state OF the
law on said subject, and TO report any
amendment thereto which may De deemed
needful.
Mr.. Laird OF Nebraska, from the com
mittec on military Affairs, reported a
Dill authorizing the president TO raise
two regiments OF volunteer cavalry in
New Mexico and Arizona to suppress In
dian hostilities. The house then went
into committee OF the whole.
MIR. Riggs of Illinois from the commit
tee on postofliccs and postroads reported
back the bill compelling all vessels Of the
United States 10 carry mails TO and from
foreign points when offered to them by
officers OF the United States. In com.
mittee the vote on reporting this bill IA
vorably stood ii to o.
Mr.. j. NJ. Taylor OF Tennessee from the
same committee reported adversely on
bills granting pensions TO employees OF the
postal service who had been in service
twenty years. Laid ON the table. The
morning hour expired and the house went
into committee Of the whole on the Fit
John Porter bill.
Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama spoke in sup
port OF the measure.
Mr.. Cutcheon opposed the bill.
Both speeches were long and strong,
and at their conclusion the committee
rose and. the house took recess till
O'Clock, the evening session to be for
further consideration OF the Fitz John
Porter bill.
At the evening session of the house MIR.
Brady Of Virginia took the floor on the
political situation in Virginia. He said
that the gentleman from Virginia, Mr.
Wise, in discussing the question OF the
removal of certain Inscriptions from
Portsmouth dry-dock, had made number
OF statements which were not true. lie
BRADY declared that the fact was un.
mistakably established that the statement
made by that gentleman that the superin.
tendent of the dry-Gock, Lyons, had
been removed for beastly intoxi.
cation was not true; that the
statement by Wise that the
postmaster at Portsmouth, Unior
soldier, had been removed at the dlcta
ton OF Mr.. William Malone, was also un
true. He then proceeded to discuss the
questions raised by Mr.. Boutelle's reso
luton and characterized as ''pettyfog
ging" the attempt which had been mad,
by his colleagues to show that the dry
dock at Portsmouth had not been dc
stoyed by the Confederates.
The Fitz John Porter bill was ther
taken up.
Messrs. Brown of Pennsylvania, Pow
ell of Illinois, Perkins of Kansas anC
Peters of Kansas, approved the bill.
Mr.. Hancock of Kansas promised hi
speech with the declaration that the Dem
ocratic party has never built school
houses and never would. On the fly
wheel of progress, 1t had ever been al
air brake with pan-electric attachments
It was not strange, therefore, that
would cast solid column of votes Il
favor OF one of the most pronounced fail
ures of the war.
The committee then rose and the hous
adjourned.

This excited his curiosity, and he repaired to the interior of the store where he found them heinz Hnpacked, and no- ticed that they were filled with boys and mems clothing, which are espec- ially suited foI the holidays.
 We also observed several cases which contained full line of holiday presents such as silk handkerchiefs, plain handkoIe chiefs, embroidered handkerchieis, initial handkerchiefs and in fact almost everything that is suitable for holiday presents.
