BURIAL or THE DAUGHTER Of SENATOR DOUGLAS.
The bereevemeat whioh has fallen on Senator
Douglas i* sensitively reflected by the beat citi
zens of Washington; and the sympathy of tb? fair
with Mrs. Douglas in the sad loss of her little
daughter is extended and heartfelt. Tho funeral
took pleoe to day, at noon. A large somber of
ladies and gentlemen were in attendance. Pre
vious to the departure of the timers! cortege from
the residence of Judge Douglas a beautiful ex
hortation was given by the Bev. Mr. Maguire,
the eminent presober. His words of consolation
were beautiful, and the words of the Saviour,
11 suffer little ohlldren to eome unto me, and forbid
them not,” were applied in the most Christian,
and consequently the most comforting, spirit. Ihe
pall-bearers were four bachelors, taro of whom, in
respect to the Judge, weie Senators—Messrs.
Clinghan, of North Caroline, and Anthony, of
Rhode Island. On arriving at the grave, at Mount
Olivet, the sew ‘Catholic cemetery, whioh was
ooDsecrated last Sunday, the Bev. Mr. Maguirb
performed service over the little departed, and fill
that remained, of the ohild, on which the fond
mother had pieced so many hopes, was consigned
to the last resting place.
There is no doubt that Kansas oan be admitted
at this session if the fire-eaters will yield. Their
hostility to Its immediate admission is because this
would give Douolas six votes (three) in the Bal
timore Convention of the 16th of June. Ibis ac
counts for Bioler'B course on Tuesday; and may
be a reason why the Republicans are notin a great
hurry to put Kansas through before the fate of
Douglas is deoided.
THE FRINGE OP WALES.
The visit of the Prince of Wales to. the United
States Is exercising the fashionables a good deal,
and they demand that he should have a reception
a/a ( KosSuth. It would be a most humiliating
thing to see the Administration of the General
Government going out of its way to weloome this
soionof British royalty, when an ex-President of
the United States is permitted to pass through
England, and the continent of Europe, almost un
noticed, and frequently insultingly negleotcd.
Honors to the Japanese may be profitable, but
adulation of the youthful H&nover-EngHsbin&n
will be simply snobbish. ‘
BALTIMORE AND THE CONVENTION,
The Douglas men are resolved to have a large
force at, Baltimore'on the 18th of June. It is
understood that the Keystone Club of Philadelphia
will be early on the ground, And that Cincinnati,
Cleveland, Toledo, and other Ohio towns, and
Hew York, Boston, and other cities, will have im
mense, delegations present. Gay’s Monument
House will be, it is said, the headquarters of the
Pennsylvania “ Rebels.”

Our Oriental visitors are gettingreoUve Bnd sus

any amonnt of trouble with them. Some of the
subordinates havs grown exceedingly fond of mint
juleps and champagne, and waddle at a most un
seemly rate around Willards’ every evening about
ten. “ They want to go home,’’ and Captains Du
pont, PoßThn, and Bee, are put to all sorts
of shifts to make the time pass easily 'and
pleasantly for them. You Philadelphians must do
your best to entertain these somewhat spoiled
Asiatios. What with Whbatlet A Clabkb at tbs

roads, the military, and the fire-works, you should
keep them with you at least a week. They think

THE VACANCY ON THE SUPREME BENCH.
It appears that the vacancy on the Supreme
Bench, oreated by the death of Justice Daniel'
may be filled by the appointment of a Penney Ira
nian or a Marylander—Judge D. having boon ori
ginally taken from Mississippi or Alabama. At
torney-General Black will take the place if he can
get it. It is the goal of his ambition; and if the
President desires to get rid of his legal adviser, he
oan banish him to the Supreme Bench.

Without dispoiing of the question, the Home) at
a quarter of sik o’clock, went into Committee of
the Whole oh tnesUte of the Union for the purpose
of general debate. -
Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, began a speeoh
against “ Modern Demooraoy,” when
Mr. Cbaio, of Missouri, interrupting him .
raised a point of order that no business oool<.
be done nor speeches made, there being no quorum
prosent.
[Cries Doxn the Bepublioau side of “ too late!”- •

not be put down in that style.
The Chairman overruled the point of order.
Mr. Oraxo appealed * from the decision of the
Chair.
No quorum voting, the roll was called to note
the.absenteee.
Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, made an appeal to let
gentlemen prooeed with their speeohes.
Mr. Whitxlby, of Delaware, said he was will

Mr. TtiLßoir, ' orTehnHsee. Suggested that Mr.

After some farther conversation,
A motion to adjourn was negatived.
Mr. Hughes, of Maryland, urged the necessity
of the House remaining in sosslon till a later hour
daily than heretofore, as he understood it was
likely that the Senate will concur- itt tho House
resolution to adjourn on the eighteenth. .
Mr. Craig did not wish to obstruot the” public

Jet them go to the Smithsonian Institute. ; '*
Mr. Hdobbs moved a ealluf the House. >
Mr. BarkB!>alb, of Mistiteippij said that since
he had been here suoh oalls had respited in nothing
but a fame. [Cries of “order” from the Bepublf
oanside] '
Mr. ConrAx, of Indiana, called attention to the
fact that ever sinoe Mr. Morrill was interrupted
an hour and a half ago, debate has been iodtgjpt
in by unanimous consent.'
Mr. Craig denied this, saying 'that the vari
•oB objections made .to point 1 of order bad
, caused the delay.
Several motions to adjourn were voted down. ( *
At 8 o’olook there was a call of the House.
No quorum answered.
Mr. Morrill said his speeoh would appear in
the Gfaht. ;
Mr. SHRREAN asked, but failed to obtain, the
unanimous consent of the House that, after to-day,
it shall be in order to take a recess from four till
seven o’oleck P. M. !'
The absentees were oalled, and the excuses for
them were hoard. Some were of an amusing cha
racter, others on the aocount of the sickness oi the
members or their families.
Mr. Huaass suggested that a surgeon be ap
pointed to attend to the sick. (Laughter.] '
On motion of Mr. Boulignt, of Louisiana, an
order was direoted to be issued to the Bergeant>kt-
Arms for the arrest of the absentees, for whom
sufficient excuses had not been offered.
Mr. Sickles, of New York, ineffectually moved
that all further proceedings in tho oall be dls
pensedyrith. . ;
Mr. VerreE, of Pennsylvania, asked the uanl
mobs consent bf the House that Mr. Morrill baVe
leave to make his speeoh.
Mr. Craig objected.
Mr. Boulighy moved to take up the Post Office
appropriation bill.
Mr. Florence. of Pennsylvania, raised a point
Of order that while the Sergeant-at-Arms had gone
oat to take up members it was out of order for tho
House to take up bills. [Laughter.]
Mr. Hughxs believed that the House, under all
the circumstances, ought to remain here certainly
till a later hour than this. They ought not to ofill
the yens and nays capriciously, and object to the
claims whioh oome before them for the widows and
orphans, and old soldiers who are limping on
orutohes, knocking at these doors for justioe,
too often in vain. He had watched these things
for thirty years. Hundreds had, by the denial .of
justioe. been driven to suicide, and thousands! to
poverty. He had heard all round persons object
ing oapriolously, ignorantly, and without knowing
for what. [Laughter.]
Mr. Craig rose to his feet. 1
Mr. Huasxa said, he did net allude to the gen
tleman from North Carolina, but would es soon do
so as to anybody else.
Mr. Craig remarked that ho was not to be tri
fled with.
Mr. Hughes further advooated the claims of the
soldier, and condemned the habit of objecting; to
them—even to the claims of those whose arms have'
been shattered by holding up our national flog. 1
Mr. Craig wished to make a few remarks by
general consent, and was loudly called to order
from the Republican side. j
Mr. Barksdale, of Mississippi, thought this’
miserable farce ought be brought to a ofose, and
made a motion accordingly.
Mr. Burkett said he had never seen such calls
gone through with.
Mr. Boulishy. It will be this time, [Laugh
ter.]
Mr. Burnett. We oannot get through for a
week.
Mr. Boumgmt. I don’t oare if it takes Six
weeks. [Laughter.]
Baring tho debate,
Mr. Ppiknsr, of New York, said the practice
had been, that where men are exoused, tho feesito
the Bergeant-at-Arms have been paid by the Go
vernment. i
Mr. Crawford, of Georgia, thought this amuse
ment ought not to bo .ohargea to the publio trea
sury. I
The appcaranco of Mr. Junkin, of Pennsylva
nia, before the bar of the House, occasioned some
debate os to whether he was under legal arrest for
having absented himself ;
Mr. Barksdale hoped he would not be fined.
He thought it would be for the interest of the coun
try if two or three dozen other ttepubllcana would
absent themselves. [Laughter.] |
The Sergeant-at-Arms brought in his prisoners
from time to time, who were excused or fined for
their absenoe, according to circumstances. At jlO
o’olook a quorum was ascertained to bo in attend
ance. ' :
Mr. Barksdale appealed to the candor of gen
tlornen whether, if they submit to such useless pro
ceedings longer, they will not disqualify them
selves for business to-morrow ?
His motion to suspend further proceedings jroa
negatived.
Mr. Reagan, of Texas, said this scene was a
shame to the House and the country.
He was called to order.
Mr. Bouligky. If members are not here, fine
apd, if necessary, imprison them. [Laughter ]
At half pasf ten all further proceedings under

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
The cofisefjdencfl of thlf. multiplication of passengers
being that they can be carried rhorS cheaply* and, though
three cents per mile is a proper remuneration 6'n foll-i
roads generally, the board of directors have determined
that they can afford to make a material reduction, and
will graduate the (are to an average not exceeding two
oents per mile—the fare between Newark and New
York, where the travel livery heavy, to bo stilt more
reduced, about twenty-five per oent coming off after

*' As to the contract with the Camden and Amboy

therefore, a groat advantage to them. Besides the ex

wcrO predisposed to attacks of the cpidemio.
In proof ,of tills theory, he Stated that a murrain
onoe appeared fit ftnrland affloffe the cattle, which
was traced to Hollands' Dr. ft. men proceeded to
show that wherooattle are housed c isa&tf; amd not
allowed free ventilation; the disease would prefAfy
until the epidemlo’Jnftaence' was exhausted. Hr
believed that by free ventilation and oleanlinecs
the ravages ■ or ffr«t''disease'might, .in ~a gryv
degreo. bp prevented.* £irt.by free vcntlla
tion he did not mean that fidtifo. shotiti
be oxposed to strong - currents of air, but, tod ff*i
admission of fresh air into tho stables and pens in
which they mny be kept. lie did not anticipate
the spread of the disease in this quarter, in con
sequence of the prevalence of more favorable
atmospheric influences'here-.than.at the eastward.
A great drought had prevailed at r the East, which
had the effect to boat the blood of the oattle, and
induce tbe disease t<f .itself more readily
than In this locality, tfheffl there had bien,
abundance of rain To support tiffs ■Pieit.be quoted
tbo definition of tho word “ murrain,” afl gtfen
by nn old English lexicographer, to the effect that
“murrain” was a disease of oattle caused by
long-qontinued dry'weather. , He -believed the
disease was steadily approschiog ns, having
crossed the Hudson into New Jersey, and
it behooved us to use all the'precautionary
measures to prevent its spreading. He did
not expect that it could be entirely prevented, but
its ravages might be mitigated by proper attest low
to cleanliness and ventilation. He condemned the
practice; existing.in. Massachusetts,'of killing the
animals affected, whioh did not do so much good as
isolatiog tbS .animals diseased from those not af
fected. Dr. E. did not consider the disease indi
genous to this oountry, aS a similar one had broken
out in 1855 among the cattle in Fosleft, Holland.
After Dr. B. had concluded, along discussion
sprang np between the. members in regard to the
existence of a disease somewhat similar in this
locality.
Mr. S Ford, of Olney, Twenty-third * ward,
stated that a farther In hls’nelgbborhood had lost
seventeen out of, a herd of .fifty oows, froth, a
disease resembling plearo-pneamttttia. Atother
fanner had lost a considerable'number, btft upon
examination, it was discovered .that the cause if as
the want of proper ventilation in the eow-stablo.
The farmer had built a new stable,' which the con
tractor had projected with very few openings. In
the old stable the farmer had used, which was very
open, be had not lost any cattle. Mr. Ford’s
stock was half a mile from this pUoe, yet none of
his cattle were affected
Mr. John Lardner Bald a similar case had oe
onrred in big neighborhood.
Pr V. S . said he was in communiov
tion with one 4jf tho ooinmisaioners appointed by
the Legislature of Hassaehtbelt*, who had inform*
ed him that last May some cattle were imported
into Massachusetts from Eogland, and shortly after
thoir arrival tbo disease appeared. He said the
oattle disease had appeared a year ago in this
neighborhood. In Camden county, ft. J.. one
fanner had lost2B head. In our “Neck” a farmer
had lost 25, one 12, and another a smaller number.
It bad also appeared in' Books county. He said
the symptoms were the same as those developed In
the Eastern States. In its incipient stages, it
yielded rcndtlj to modioal treatment. One reason
why they have failed in the' East in curing the
dlB<a&e, was, thoy used the lancet too freely. They
put the lancet in. and let the lifo out. (Several
members said “That’s it.”) Tho premonitory
symptoms could be doteoted, he. said, two weeks
before the disease developed itself lie then gave
a da oription of the symptoms, all of which has
been heretofore published. As a saniUry mea
sure, he recommended that cow-stables be cleaped
and whitewashed, chloride of lime freely used,
and the excrement of the cattle barfed. The
disease is nil around us. Wo oan’t prevent its
O3

spreading but if we use these precautionary
measures, wo will e&capo the worst of it.
Dr. JElwyn was not satisfied that the disease spo
ken of as prevailing in the Nook and other places
near this oily, a year ago was the same «s that
now existing in New England.
Dr. Twaddell, of tho Twenty-fourth ward, «ald
cpidemio Catarrh had been very .prevalent in his
neighborhood tbo last year} bat he did not beliove ,
that this wns tbo identical disease prevailing in
Massachusetts Ho inquired of Dr. Jennings whe
ther he believed it was. Ho (Dr. Twaddell)
thought that the two might have been confounded.
Dr. A. L. Kennedy thought tho two diseases had
been confounded,’the same as typhold-pncnmonia
had once been confounded with pneumonia, which
commenced in Medford, -MttuaohuseUs; in 1806,
and passed southwesterly, taking seven years to
reaoh Pennsylvania. He suggested that a com
mittee bo appointed to go to Marsxohusctte, make
an examination, and report to the toddy.
Dr. Jennings asserted (*n reply to Dr. Twad
dell) that h'e could prove all he had said was cor
rect. The farmers around ua were unwilling to
bare the report go abroad that their cattlo wero
diseased, and endeavored to keep tbo matter
secret, as it would injure them. Ho bad not ro
oeived suihsiont information from Massachusetts
to justify him in saying that the same disease
which wns prevailing there, was that which bad
shown itself near Philadelphia, but, in his opinion,
it was the sumo.
Dr. Elwyn believed that there was no way of
gotting at tbe truth of tbo matter except by send
ing compotent persons to Massachusetts, to investi
gate the case, and report to the society. He sug
gested that Lr. Emerson would be a suitable man
to perform this mission. Ho made amotion to that
effect, and, after some further debate, it was Rgrced
to send a commission of two persona, and tho chair
appointed Drs Emerson and Elwyn.
It was also agreed tbrft the commission, upon
their return, shall report the result of their obser
vations to tho president, who was requested to
publish it in tbo newspapers, without waiting until
tho next meeting of the society.
Tho meeting thon adjourned.
