Parkinson had ceased to roll out the last
word Of the resolution, Mr.. German, with
unfiinching ppomptitude, said: Let 1t go
over" Not a word was uttered on either
side. Before the resolution could be taken
up again 1t would be impossible to extend
the honor which Senator Pettigrew sought
to secure.
Representative Murray Of South Caro-
lima, the only negro member Of the House
of Representatives, endeavored unsuccess-
fully to secure favorable action In the
House upon e resolution permitting the
body of Mr.. Douglass to lie in state in the
rotunda. The matter was brought to the
attention of Speaker Crisp too late to be
presented to the House before the execu-
ticn of the specia! order, the delivery OF
eulcgies upon the late Senator Vance. was
entered upon. He informed Mr.. Murray
that had he given notice of his desire to
present the resolution earlier in the day
he would have given him an opportunity
to offer 1t for the action Of the House.
