THE question Of prohibiting further
interments in Westminster Abbey has
nov assumed an aspect which promises
the success OF those who have long be-
lieved that the practice should cease. A
commission has been appointed TO con-
slider the matter of selecting a special
place for the actual burial Of distin-
guished persons. which shall be under
the exclusive control Of the abbey. and
interments therein regarded as con-
ferring the same degree Of honor upon
The memory OF the dead as burial in the
abbey has hitherto done. in addition to
this a suitable memorial will be depos-
tied in the abbey testifying to the worth
Of the deceased and indicating his rest
ing place. The plans Of the commission
also contemplate the ultimate removal
20 the new place Of all the bodies now
resting in the abbey.

TO BE A Discussing OFFICER.
A Substitute for the Bill Defining the
Duties Of the Sergeant-at-Arms.

The select committee appointed to investi-
gate the accounts Of the sergeant-at-arms of
the House, to whom was referred the bill in
PRODUCED in the House by Mr.. Payne Of New
York defining the duties Of the sergeant-at-
arms, ordered q favorable report on a substi-
tute for that bill yesterday. Accompanying
the bill is report made by Mr.. Payne, setting
forth the views OF the committee on the SUBJ
ject. The necessity for some legislation in
reference to the Office Of the sergeant-at-arms
the report says, is conceded on all aides The
status Of this Officer. his duties and RESPONSE
biity. rest partly on the statutes, partly on the
rules of the House, which lose their force on
the expiration Of each Congress and partly on
established customs. This bill attempts to rec
tfy these defects and to give Legislative express
sion to these rules and usages. SO far as the
committee deem it wise to perpetuate them.
Sections 1 and of this bill enact into
law the present rules Of the House and remove
any doubt concerning the status Of the
sergeant-at-arms, after the expiration Of the
term OF Congress by which he is elected and
during the internission before his succe sor is
elected and qualified Section 8 changes
the existing status and enables the sergeant-at-
arms to make acquisitions directly upon the
Treasury for the pay and mileage Of members
and constitutes him in explicit terms a dis
bursting officer OF the government, limiting his
compensation to his present salary. Under the
present system members are required to give
written receipts in advance OF the actual pay
ment Of their salaries by the Treasury This
custom is an ancient one, at variance with any
sound business principle. This bill remedies
all this. II authorizes and requires pay
ment to the sergeant-atarms upon his re-
QUESTION. It is only when the payment is
actually made to the members that any receipt
can be required The bill provides for bond
Of $4,000, to be approved by the first con-
troiier, and not, as under the old custom, by the
Speaker of the House.
The term OF his Office il extended to the time
when his successor shall have qualified. He is
required by this bill, at the commencement of
each session, to report in detail to the House
his accounts This report is in addition to the
regular reports required of disbursing officer
by the Treasury Department which he will
have to render. This bill also changes the
statutes, by. extending to the scrgeant-at-arms
the same provisions extended to the secretary
of the Senate, viz: Extending the fiscal year
for the adjustment OF accounts to July 5 in
stead of June so, as now.
