WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The Senate met
at IL o'clock this morning. After prayer by
the chaplain the journal of yesterday was
read, and Mr.. Morrill, rose, and in voice
tremulous with emotion, said: "In conse~
quence of the recent calamity which has
visited US in the sudden decease of former
eminent member of this body and distin-
guished officer Of the government, the Sec
retary of the Treasury, move that the
senate do now adjourn" The motion was
agreed to, and the Senate adjourned until
tomorrow morning at IL O'Clock.
PROFOUND SADNESS.
There was a feeling of profound sadness
10 the Senate this morning when the sens
ators, already apprized of the death of their
oid-tlme colleague, gathered to listen to the
eloquent words Of the chaplain. Although
number of years have passed
since Secretary Window sat In the
Senate, the membership OF that body
changes SO slowly that there are still many
senators who were his colleagues, and upon
whom his death falls as personal loss. The
expressions of regret at his demise were
iar from perfunctory, and we're character
neo py ring of genuine feeling. AS SEN
ator and chairman of the appropriations
oommlttee, Secretary Window had it in his
power to do many kind offices to other sen
stors, and that these were never refused to
ms colleagues is evidenced by the testimony
Inat Is volunteered by senators on both
SioeS OF the chamber.
