botittiasi wu handed round to day. It le lengthy,
a*4 sighed by Me«iM. Pie*ii» fleou. Isaac S.
Mossn, VT. D, Cotnitahi and their confreres. The
dootiment U in reply to a handbill of the seceding
XtfeWihk delegates. It shoWe the courseof .their
predecessors; aa fioiit iotiislana, at
etorlmtotf. til«e.lewqoota«on»:
"••'lf the. delegates had laid only‘that a high
sense of-doty oonstralned them' to enter a solemn
nroteet; it eonld not be obnstmed Into ‘ n reilgna-'
Boh; tot the language b “ mthdraw from the tie
liberations of the Convention, and unanimously
to ttniir a solemn protest against its action.” \
■ -» To rlret upon them the untkdraical or repig
nation of alloonneotton with theConyention, they
ask that the eommunloation may be spread upon
the. minutes, and then in heart <ms terms take
leave of and compliment the justice and dignity
ask—what alow did the Con
vention itself tek«:of thle nnneoally oeremohtons
withdrawal?. Let .the reeolntlon which that body
adapted speak for, them:, .
>« ‘ Resolved, Thet ehen this Conaentlftn adjourn
"to-day,' to meet in Baltimore On the 18th day of
Bond next, jr? order to afford the States that are
wW< note represented an opportunity to fU up
their delegations,’- .
•< Upon this resolution the undersigned yrill not
venture s single comment, aa the same body that
adopted it is to deelde npoh its purport; and for U 9
to doubt its bearing wonld be to question both the
Intelligence and integrity of the Convention, which
we oannot snd will pot do. .
"If anything were wanting to prove that this
oemmneieatibn was intended by the delegates as a
: totaVwlthdt*wsl, it vtill he manifest ftom their
conduct after; seceding. They went Into an oppq.
site organ! setion, .appointed, another president,
adopted another name for a near party, and finally
adjourned to meet in' Richmond, and invited (he
other Slates to send delegates to the Blohmond
Convention. AH of which was in open violation of
their eaored duty, not only to Louisiens, bat to tho
National, Democratic party, and .utterly at war
with the usages’of tho party in their Nations! Con*
vehtlons.”
' SliPim. and Behjamik, and others, having ro
qne.da i the eecoder a to come haofe to Baltimore, it
Was, after mnch counselling in Louisiana, deter,
mined that some reference to the people would be
necessary, and the Central Committee issued acali,
reassembling the old State Convention: The peo
ple, however, preferred a new Convection. ’ The
National 'Democratic party of the Btate protested
against' the usurpation of the Control Committee
sfnd the old - Convention, and It is believed that a
majority of the old delegates Individually failed
and refased to’reassemble; thereby Ignoring its
existence as a political body . The Cottman-Boulb
delegation continue:
' “la pursuance of the resolution of the Charles
ton; Convention, 'adopted after tho withdrawal of
onr delegates, and inviting, ns to elect new dele-.
fill the vacancies of the seceders, at the
StlifSeWsession,' and In ahoordanoe with the sog

The.oaee is very strongly made ont.

Donaldeonville Convention by a vote of forty-one
to twenty-nine. This was the result of t!he eon.

tone of fooling than oh the previous. night, when,
,u I have reason to know, New York went for Mr.

•very, face yon met ofi the streets this morning
aov>othe plaee of Convention. At the hotel
breekfot tobies, gentlemen on both aides affwted
laegh at,the probable remit; other* thought
that If an “impending otitis’-’ was. uncontrollably
at babd. wby then 1 the tinner it came the better.
.There, was tro.use in, protongiog the agony. It
mast, bo prid,,however; that the majority of people
' I spoke with, embracing men following every De*
moeratie ehfef from Douglas to Dark, while whit*
poring, anxlonsly as to the 4 width of the broach
whfoh all anticipate, do not seem to compass the
solemnity ot the action so glibly discussed. The
responsibility resting oh the fathers of Secession is
truly fearful, especially/when the instigators of it
are wholly, aad solely inspired by personal rancor
and polities! cowardice.
A J-AKEHTABIE omission
Occurred this morning, aa ou every other since the
Convention opened in this city. We have had most
eloquent, most teaching, most patriotic prayers.
Every branch of tbe public service—the delegates
here, and their wives and children at home, as
well as the prosperity of their various business
dnringthelr absence—have drawn from the excel*
lent preaohera most excellent implorations on tho
guardianship of Providenoe; but the press has
sever proa the, slightest recognition. No single
clergymen said, “ Ood bless it,” or invoked
Heaven to vouohsafe a tittle wisdom to its con
ductors.
THE REPORTS.
. . The s Arrangements in the hall were better
than on any previous occasion, owing to the ener
getic eetipa of the President, and Mr. MoClttskbv,
JMa'aargeant-at-arms.
. The minority report 'was first in order, and the
vote by States was taken amid silence and anxiety.
Numbers of delegates had roll calls, and kept
telly.. .As each State was called, ail eyes were
turned to the : locality where its delegates were
seated; and murmurs of applause, and sometimes
about*, exhibited the feeling of the Convention.
As New York plumped her thirty-five against the
minority, .the majority manifested their feelings
with loud Applause, and as the Western States, one
after tho other, gave their whole voice and vote in
the same manner; the cheers were repeated. Penn
sylvania gave 'seventeen for the report, and ton
against it, and throughout the voting of tbe day
did hot vary but half a vote. The Report was re*
jeotedbyyeas 1901, nays 160.
TUB MAJORITY REPORT
Was taken up by resolution, with this result;
. On the first resolution, admitting the Mississippi
delegatiom-yeaa 250, nays 2i—New York voting
solid yea, and Pennsylvania 25 yea, 2 nay, *'
. On the.aecosd resolution, admitting the regular
NetioDdDemoo ratio delegates from Louisiana, the
vote stood—yeas £53, nays PS. The States voted
elmost iu the same manner as on the rejection of
the minority report, . .
On the suggestion of Senator Saulsbury, the
third resolution, referring to the case of Arkansas,
wee divided info three parts.' The first brmnob ad
milting the B. W. lohnsoh aud Hindman delegates,
with power to cast two votes, was carried by yeas
.182, nays 82. The second branoh admit the ITeo
peh and Bradley delegates, with power to cast
one was also earried by yeas 150, nays loot.
The third section, providing that in case
either of , these delegations should refuse to take
tb*lr. seats, .the entering delegates shall cast the
vote ef the State, was passed against the Solita
ry of Besator Saulssury.
On'tbe fourth resolution, admitting the Texas
delegation, .the vote was yeas 260, neys 2*.
'The. fifth resolution admitting Bayard and
WaiTSLBT, was carried withdbt voting by States.
On the sixth resolution rejecting Uallrti*, of
Maasachuttetts, and admitting Chaffee, a vote by
States waa called. Haxxutt wm -rejeoted by

Mr. CAkBBOH Bald :
' Mb. Prbbidsnt : It becomes ,my painful duty,
to announce to the Senate the decease of a Repre*
Bentative from Pennsylvania, in tho other braooh
of Congress. The Hon. John Schwarts died at nts
lodgings in this oily Inst night. Ho was horn in
Banbury, Northumberland oounfy, Pannsylvunia.
then a frontier town, about tho year 1702, and
consequently had nearly completed the time* al*
lotted to man in the Scriptures. Hia father waa a.
Herman'gentleman of the old time, who died in
manhood's prime. leaving a widow and Eeveral cbil
dren, without means for their
-Kbout ton of ege, the subject of this no
tice waa apprenticed to a merchant, a friend of his
father, in the city of Beading, Berks county.where
he has since, resided. •By hia good con
duct and skill in oonduoting business, he won so
greatly upon the esteem of his master, that, at the
expiration of the term of his apprenticeship, he
was taken into partnership, and he continued in
the, business many years He was an enter
prising. prosperous, respected, merobnnt. and re
tired ,fr°m the business with a handsome for
tune. Later in life, when his family grew
up around him, for the benefit of. his souls, ho
entered into the iron manufacturing business,’
m which bo continued for severe! years and re*
tired, leaving the business in the hands of his sons,
fa one of those revulsions so common fofhat branch
of labor in our State; the sens became deeply in*
volved. In this strait the father, in the abun»
dance of his integrity and manly, pride, though
having ■no connection with the business, dis
charged from W% private fortune every /dollar
of the debt against- them. It Was always so
with him. Fn his boyhood he was ever ready to
divide bis pittsnoe with his nether, and no soon
er had he established himself in business than
he made it a'first care to surround that motherand
his brother and sisters with all the comforts of a
happy home. As the family grew up and onme
Upon the stage of aotive life, he was prompt to aid
bis younger brother, his sisters, and their bns
bands, to a start in life, and was at onoe the father
and the elder brother of tbo family. This noble
generosity formed a marked trait of bis obarnoter
through life. So unselfish was he that the comfort
and happiness of his friends waa a greater object of
, care to him than his own.
During the war, of 1812, after the burning of
Washington by the British, Mr. Schwartz left nis
business, volunteered as a private soldier, and
marched to join tho forces of General Scott at Bal
timore. While there he was selected by. his Bri*
gadier General as a member of his staff, in whieh
capacity he served until the dose of the war.
Mr. Schwartz was never in political life, and
constantly refased public station. He sought no
higher or more honorable distinction than to de
serve the love aud.esteem of hie family and neigh
bors. It is not strange, therefore, that he won the
confidence and esteem of all with whom he lived in
eontaet, and-became the arbiter of all neighbor
hood troubles. Everybody throughout the county
of Berks knew him and loved him. He was a De
mocrat all Ms life, an ardent supporter of
Mr 1 Buchanan in 1856, and up to the time
of the advent of the Lecompton question, in Gon
gress. On that occasion, tha people of his dis
trict, in their desire to show their disapprobation
of the oourse of the naturally
turned their thoughts to Major Schwartz, as one
who could more easily defeat the sitting member
of the House than any other man. It was with
great relnctauoe that he consented to be a candi
date, .alleging his inexperience and distaste for
public life. The struggle, in which he took little
part personally, was a desperate one. Every inoh
.of ground was coutested. His competitor had suc
ceeded two yeara before by nearly eight thousand
majority. The triumph of his fnends was, never
theless, full and complete.
paring the brief period o! his service here he
hM proved himself an intelligent, honest, and
faithful member, ever true to the interests of bn*
constituents and of hia State. Tho speaker has
known Major Schwartz from boyhood. He was a
fine specimen of the Pennsylvania German gentle
mad: deaf-headed and sensiblo; unpretending,
yet ever equal to the emergency. In his'happy
home ho lived simply and unostentatiously, yet
surrounded with all the comforts provided by a
cultivated s tacte. He was kind, gonefotis, and
brave, with a heart ready and eager to relieve
the necessities ot others, yet novor asking assist
ance for himself. *
His house was the dwollisg-plaee of hospitality,
and toe favorite resort of all olassos. He has gone
from among us in ripe age. Bowmen leave be
hind them so many sincero mourners and' so few
enemies.
Hr. Seward said:
John Schwartz was elected under extraordinary
circumstance* by the people of Berks, in Pennsyl
vania, to make their emphatic protest in tho House
of Representatives, against a potioy which ihoy
deemed injurious to toe interests and.welfare of
the country. For seven months he has maintained,
a struggle between the performance of that
duty and the persuasives to repose neces
sary for the preservation of life, an object,
of equslly earnest sympathy and generous
admiration. He has succumbed at last, but his
sofferings have not been more oalmly and patiently
endured than his appointed work has been bravely
and .faithfully done: While I leave to otoera
the office of eulogy, I oannot refuse the
request of his colleagues to render this simple
tribute to his memory. Such os he waa
must ever be the men who shall save
and perpetuate a free nation—honest, direct, gen
tle, fearless, and faithful. And now let the hearse
pass on. He whose duty is thus fully done, and
whose record is thus honorably made up, is more to
be envied than we who survive, perhaps to fall, pos
sibly even to fall .away from the eareer of useful
ness to which onr countrymen have balled ns.
Mr. Sitwhxb said; Some non make themvelvea
felt at once by their simple presence; and Hr.
Schwartz was of this number, tfo person could
set eyes on him witbont belog moved to inquire
who he was, or. if the occasionw form
to* was that of goodness,
-xse acted in a way to oonfirm the charm of Ms ap
pearance. Entering tardily into public Jifp, he
followed the prompting of duty, not of ambition.
At this call he saverea friendships, personal and
polities!, believing that principle was ot higher
worth that party, q t politician, or President.
Thus, when already reverent with age, he heoame
a Representative in Congress.
Hia presence in the other house was & protest.
All who saw him there knew that be came from a
constituency, which had always been represented
by an unhesitating member of the Democratic
party, white he openly denounced that party and
associated himself cordially and completely with
those,-who, founding themselves on the Declaration
of Independence and the Constitution, sought to
bring tno national Government to tne ancient
wayß. I mention this circumstance, because it is
an essential part of his too brief public life, while
it illustrates hfs charaorerand proclaims bis title
to honor. The powerful party leader “ with a
Senate at Ms heels” is less worthy of love and re
verence than the simple citizen, who, scorning
•party ties, dared to be true and just.
But never did maD, who had broken down a par
ty &t home and had taken his seat as a representa
tive of Opposition, wear his signal eucccM more
gently. Though decided and firm in conduct, he
was winning and sweet in manner, and, by beauti
ful example, showed how to unite tno qualities
which are not always/fonnd together. Winter
was not sterner; summer was not eofier,
In character he did honor to that brave and pure
German stock whioh, oven from that early day,
when first revealed to history in the sharp and
clean-cut style of Tacitus, has preserved Sts original
peculiarities untouched by cnaugo, showing that
though toe Individual is mortal the race Is im
mortal. American by birth, and American In &
generous patriotism, ,he wee German in' hU
clear blue eye; in his physical frame; in
the warmth of bis affections, add in the simplicity
of. bis life. To him alone our tribute is now due,
but, in pronouncing tho name of John Sohwarli,
we cannot forget tho “fatherland” of hia ances
tors, which, oat of its abundance, has given to our
Bepoblio so many strong arms for laoor, with sp
much of virtue and intelligence, rejoicing in free
dom, and calling no man master.
Ms. Campbell, of Pennsylvania, said :
■ Mb. Bpsaksb : In the unavoidable absosoe of
those who with more propriety tban myself might
be expected to take precedcnce on this ocoosion. j
rise to atmoonco to tho House the death of toe 110
norable John Sobwariz, a Representative in Con
gress from toe Eighth Congressional district of
Pennsylvania, which sod event took plaoe at his
hotel, In this city, last night at JJ o’clock.
Beiog myself the Representative of the district
adjoining, and having borne to the deceased close
and intimate relations tiDoe the commencement of
the present Congress, I feel consirafned from
friendship, and a sense of duty, to pay my tribute
to his many exemplary qualities aa a man, snd hia
"bpriahtness and zeal as a legislator.
John Sohwartz was born at Snnbnry, Northnffir
beriand county, Pa., October 27t0, 17fi3. He de
scended from a Revolutionary ancestor who, like
toe eon. the subject of this brief notice, waa dis
tinguished for devotion to Mb country, and for an
unblemished reputation in every relation of life.
Ala father, Philip Michael Schwarts, having enti-
f rated from Saxony to Pennsylvania npon tho
reeking out of the Revolution, enlisted as a soldier
in the ranks, and served throughout that long and
doubtful struggle with oonatancy, bravery, and tbe
utmost devotion to the oause. At the termination
of the war he was honorably discharged.
When the deceased was ten years of age he was
indentured to a merchant in the city of Reading,
Where he has over since resided. Truth, economy,
and punctuality in the discharge of every obliga
tion, enabled him, after a series of years, to retire
with a competency, and to leave to bio sons the
business which he bad so car ©fully built up. Their
misfortunes, consequent upon a revulsiou iu trade,
enabled him to rcsone them from ruin, and to dis
charge every obligation against them. Generosity
like this was always bis loading charootoristio,
and to yield his own comfort to the happiness of
others an objeot near to his heart.
It does not become me, Mr. Speaker, on this
melancholy occasion to refer at length to tbo politi
cal events with which Mr. Schwartz has latterly
been identified, but I must be permitted to say
that I have rarely known a man who combined so
many excellent; and so few objectionable Moments,
In bis intercourse with Ms fellow-members ba had
the happy faculty of making friends on all rides.
His conscientious discharge of bis duties; bis in
dependence of thought and action; his strong aver
sion to corruption; his ardent attachment to his
party associates; and his self saortilciDg assiduity,
aa exhibited in his constant, unwearied attendance
upon toe sessions of this House, while laboring un
der a disease, that was rapidly and surely carrying
him to .toe grave, made him, all unused as he was
to Congressional exoitemont, a oonepiaaoaß charac
ter in this ball
Fatty flODfiible of the iioportant trust codC Jed to
him, desirous of discharging bie whole dot; ot all
tlmeg, no tongue of mine can convoy it> this body
the anxiety ,and determination of my late colioague
to heal way a present daring the deliberations of
this House. This resolve, on bis part, to gnard
■well the interests of. bis people, arose from a
high sense of the ohAraoter of the trust To him
it was acommlssiondireotty from the people, vbopi
he loved—their confidence in, and regard for him,
must sot he n yf M patriotism to
watch over and to fierve tho country of his love,
the highest emotion next to love of God, that can
fill the heart of man—and could he fail In
patriotism? It was a trust—conld he be
false to it? And so day by day and night af
ter sight, my eaed - but resolved colleague was at
hispoat. HU disease was gaining ground. His
friends and coDeaenes remonatrated, and urged
that his life, thus imperilled) was of value tow*
family and his country, But, despite all argu
ments and remonstrances, John Schwartz re
mained at his posty like ,tbo ltomon soldier at
Pompeii, amid the, shower of volcanic hebes that
'threatened to overwhelm him: <f he hftd not been
discharged, 7 ' and died faithful to his trust, and in
the discharge of duty.
Those who construed the simplicity of his nature

into ignoranoe of toe duties assigned him greatly
mistook the m*n. Disdaining the arts ef toe de
magogue, and aiwiya Admitting Ms wautt of l*am
iog, t&e strong gdbd tcaeebfhia race supplied every
deficiency, and enabled him instinctively to jud«<o
betwoou right -and wrong) »d to take and to hold
whatever petition he assumed fearlessly to .thc euds
His devotion to the interests of Pennsylvania,
particularly of thstvaßt industry of which his great
district may be said to be ene of toe chief capitals,
was exhibited In his persevering efforts on all oc
casions to respond to toe wishes of Ms constituents.
With a heart as liberal as ever beat inhuman'
breast, and-a love of country that embraced all
sections, he o&me hero imbued witb a determina
tion to yield everything in order that toe pTospßTity
of Pennsylvania might be promoted.
" Mr. Schwartz bad littleiaste for poHtfoi; Ms de
sire was to win and to maintain the affection of his
family and the confidence of his neighbors.
The example ot tho patriotic sire was not lost
upon his bravo son. Loving liberty aa the free
and tbe devoted only can love, bis wholo heart be
ing with bis country and b*r institutions, upon the
breaking out of toe war of 1812. and after the burn
ing of this Capitol fry the British troops, John
Sonwartz enrolled Ms namo aa a private Boldlor.
and joined tbe American Army at Baltimore, and
while oh the ground was srieoted fry his Brigadier
General as a member of bis staff, and commissioned
by Gov. Snyder aB Regimental Quartermaster, in
wbioh capacity he served until tbe close .of the
contest. ,
Returning home, and resuming the business ha
hod left to resist the foreign invader, he became
extremely popular among his fellow-citizens. \ De
o ining all public station, although it was repeat
edly offered, he moved along the quiet pains of
private life, and though generally cooperating
with the Demooratic , party, never became aa ao
tive participant in peihicnlstrife,until the memo
rable struggle growing ont of tbo LeoMopton ques
tion. Then it was that tho people Of Berks county
turned to bim aa tho man who, of all others, could
best embody their sentiments on this question, and
secure the largest vote at the election. They eall
ed on him to become their candidate for Congress,
and after much hesitation he consented. Tbe con
flict was a severe one. The country knows the re
sult. He was ohosen to the seat he fa&s so worthi
ly filled over tbe candidate of the Administration,
who had succeeded In tbe former election by a ma
jority of nearly 8,000 votes! }
lb was his intention, tiequently expressed, never
to ask .R re-el eotion at the hands of hia conßtitu?ntB,
but another Power has railed him away fica us,
and "the-place wbioh knew him once will know
Mm no more forever.”
The memory of a good man lives after him, and
is siof “ interred with ht 3 bones.” True, life here
is transient. It is bnt tho shadow, if lady or light,

Mr. fiPPatkao* said :
Mb. SpaiiUto’. 1 first met my late colleague
from the Barks district in December, os wo were
about entering upon onr duties iu this Capitol. I
last saw him, a few hours since, unconscious and
dytog. But a few months have intervened, and
too strong man has passed away—lost to his family,
his district, and bis country. Let me speak briefly
of bim as he appeared to me.
Of the first of these riven relations I will not
dare to speak. Only ibose can appreciate them
who have'gone through this furnace of nffitetion,
and thoy know bow vain and feeble, and almofet
mocking though aiooore, are all words of sympathy.
The stricken heart can look oulv to God.
But Mr. Sohwartz bad important publio relation?.
He bold a high political position. He represented
in the Rational Councils a krge, populous, indne
trious, and poVorfut district- There were oust
upon him grave responsibilities, justly demanding
the exercise of every high faculty. Thorn were
entrusted to him interests of highest moment to
those now living, and thoso to suooocd in the end
loss march of humanity. There were presented
for his judgment questions involving oonso
?:uenoes wbioh no man can foresee or ca)ob
ate, and whluh no faithful man can ignore or
disregard. He waa placed iu this position, and for
tbe first time, at an advanced age, having had no
speoial training for it, and having enjoyed fewer
advantages than have fallen to most of us, and yet
I believe I express tha common sentiment of the
House when I say that no man in it met these re
sponsibilities in a more becoming spirit; no one
discharged his traet with greater soberness, dear
ness, and intelligence; no one more consoiontiooriy
decided the various and often intricate questions
presented for his action. From the beginning, he
won upon us all—friends, colleagues, and strangers.
All respeoted, esteemed, loved Him. , k
His health has been feeble the entire sessiofi.
Generally, he was physically unfit to be at the port
of duty; but be would not leave it. To Ms friends,
that frame, more and more bowed, that step less
and less firm, too plainly showed toe fearful march
of deep seated disease; but bis iron will overcome
his weakness, and, os day after day—not missing ft
vote—his clarion voioe rang out his prompt rg
sponse, toe hope arose that tho inherent vigor Of •

yond the crisis. Bat U could no*. a six
anoatfas’ struggle, he was compelled to sucoumb ?
and one week ago this day, about this hour, he left,
for the last time, this hall He gradually aauk
from that moment. Ho nobler spirit remains to dc
battle for bis country.
His personal qualities wore happily combined;
fn him* greet firtncps? wos'jinited with gentleness.
He had no concealment?. 'Mg)ple|n Wanner, he
was a bold, brave, true, polf-rcliant&sn. He
was firm, just, candid, and faithful. He was, in
the highest sense, reliable. Hia integrity was nm
questioned. I bnt utter, in tbl*. the opinion of all
who knew him here, and of thoso who nave known
him during a long career of nearly *• threescore

Mr. Schwartz wrs a man of popular sympathies
and feelings. He was as thorough a represent*
tivo of the people as over sat upon this or any
other floor, j/e wna eminently a typo of them.
He was one with them, in character, tastes, and
Instincts. The county of Dorks was originally a
German settlement, and it still maintains that
character. In it are seen all the peculiarities
and distinguishing oxcollenoies of tbo Pennsyl
vania Germans—their steadiness, fidelity, and
virtue. All over it are proofs of their sagacity,
prudence, and thrift—their unwearying, ever
adding Industry. Of this leading element in the
composite population of Pennsylvania—an element
which has penetrated the whofo mass, giving her
maoh of her undisputed greatness, and many of its
peoullor traits—Mr. t ohwartx was a representa

every sad heart this day echoes the sentiment; Ho
was an honest man—a pure patriot—a faithful pub

Mb. Maynard, of Tennessoo, said:
Mr Speaker ; I, too, crave permission to lay a
voluntary offering upon tho old man's bier. Death
has, for tho first time, invaded our presence, Oneof
our number was never suffered to join us; another
went nway to die, la the pathetic language of the
Gileadite in his own city, and to he buried by the
grave of his father and of bis mother. Cut now a
fellow-member has fallen by our side, and is borne
away to his burial alnioßt from tho very scene of
our deliberations. Itisau impressive repetition
of tho same solemn lesson, so old and so hard to bo
learned,
“ AH men think all men mortal but themselves.’ 1
In the warfare of life, as upon the battle-field of
carnage, let there be a truco to bury the dead*
Lot the rites of a docent wipulturo and words of
happy augury not be omitted. At 1 the gateway of
the grave applies with peculiar force the sublimo
inculcation of Christianity—As ye would that men
should do to you, do ye also to them. Eulogy
is for tho living, not for tho unhe&rlng dead.
Hence the maxim, at onoe philosophio and
charitable, to remember of the dead only that
wbiohis good, of fair example, encouraging emula
tion.
My relations with the deceased, thongh not inti
mate, wero very kind. I made his acquaintance
heroin tbo House, when I saw him fortbo first,
time. Ho Impressed me as being no ordinary manJ
Tbo hand of aiaoaSe was evidently npon him from|
the first. All might see that the number of bis'
days would goon bo told. Vet, day after day was
bo at his post, confined here by bis stern sense oi
duty. Hc rnuy almost bo said to bavo died with
the harness on. Ho considered himself, for tbo
time, a servant of the peoplo, towards whom ho
felt that ho had assumed gravo obligations. And
his wns no mere eye sorvloe. He seemed deter
mined only to bo useful; content that others, if it
might be, should boar the honors Of auoh are tbe
men who go slngiog to tho stoke, and who keep
step as they maroh to tho cannon's mouth. It is
the stuff oi which martyrs and heroes are made.
Faithful in that which is least, thoy would be faith*
ful. also, in that wbteh Is pinch
One of tbe last public sots of tho deceased, if not
tbe very last, was to call the attention of the
House to a privates bill in whioh he f*lt a doep in
terest, and which he regarded as very just. What-?
ever may have been our several opinions as to the
merits of tbe claim, I am suto none of us will sow
regret that we gave its udvooate a bearing, and en
abled him, as be turned bis face to the wall* to
enjoy the consoicusnoss that he had discharged a
duty.
I shall abstain from all inquiry into bis previous
life, and from all comment upon his ohsrseter.
Others there arc more competent to do justice to
hismomory. I purposely ponfino my reflections
to the Bingle trait, wnfoh has often challenged my
admiration: his unselfish devotion to what he eon*
siiiered his duty, not forgetting tbo kindly and ge
nial temper, which never deserted him ever lu the
severity of bis dtaosse, and which ever gleamed
out, like sunshine, from the olouds that darkened
the orb at his setUng. The grava will soon olose
over bis mortal remains The world will go on ns
before. This event, except by the stricken circle
of his family and personal friends, will quiokly bo
forgotten. Happy for us, if it awaken a livelier
souse or our common mortality.

Mr. Btbvens, of Pennsylvania, said:
Mr. Speaker t Another of my colleagues waa
expected to speak on this occasion, but as he is not
atthisYnoment in the Hal], I will say last one
tford
My acquaintance with the deceased was short.
Tt commenced with this session of Congress ; but It
did not require & long acquaintance to undorstHDd
and appreciate bis ohar&cter. Such was his candor
aod sincerity that his lips uttered nothing but tbo
omvictiona of his judgment and the teachings of
his conscience.
Faithful to all his principles and to bis friends,
ni one who knew him ever feared that ho would de
sert either. When ho came here he was in the full
enjoy®«rt of vigorous health. Hehas been strick
en down f>y his too great devotion to his public da-'
ties He was an aged man, and it may be thought
that his loss, private and public, was less than if
cut off in the vigor of manhood It may bo so.
Mr. Speaker, there are but few in this Douse who
with me can appreciate the force of that sugges
tion . ft ho can realize how unfit bo is, whose ener
gies are paralyzed by age or disease,fto mingle In
the turbulent and boisterous arena of public life ?
It were, perhaps, more graceful for those who aro
conscious that age or Infirmity has impaired their
mental or pbysioai powers; who find by re
peated trials that they oan so longer bend the
now of Tllyesea, to retire, and lay down the discus
which they have not tho strength to hurl. ‘But
even for tho least of snoh there are mourners.
“ There to a tear for all that die ” How copiously,
then, mast they flow for our departed friend, who
was in tho possession of all nto faculties, and
surrounded by every circumstance that could
render old age respectable and comfortable—
by a devoted wife and loving children! For their
grief there is no earthly balm. Allwecsn do is
to assure them of our sympathy in their afflic
tion. Sir, it were well If all could go to hi# home
and look upon the thousand honest facerth&t will
there attend his funeral, and shed tears of heart

touching and instructive than jibe mookery of woo
which is displayed at the obsequies of high officials
and of princes!
. Mr. Florence Bald:
Glamor is bushed, strife has ooased, and wo are
engaged in tbo common purpose and mournful duty
of dropping a tear to tho memory of my deceased
colleague. In that purpose and duty I heartily
participate.
My acquaintance with my colleague began upon
this floor. Oa that Decembor morning that wo
tint met hero, as l stretched my eyes ever to that
ildo of the ball upon which he sat. they wero di
rected to that Boat ocounied by John Schwartz.
From that moment I made his acquaintance, and
until £ left him last Thursday afternoon, & warm
personal friendship has existed between us. We
differed somewhat as to the course we eaoh felt it
a duty to pursue upon this floor, but the personal
rotations, tbo devotion of friendship, that should
exist between us as coTlaaguea from our cherished
and patriotic State, was not Interrupted on that
aorount.
I saw the insidious maToh of death, as I believed
U seated seourely in hie person I expostulated
with him tirao and time again, urging that it was
hto duty, in my judgment, to retiro. for a time, to
restore his shattered health. You know, sir, Mr.
Speaker, and this House knows, that be remained
at hU post, and died a martyr to hto duty. He
had reached nearly the allotted age of map of
“ three-score years end ten yet, who could mark
his firm step when be entered tbe Hell, and not
believe that life would bo extendod to him as long
as to most of us here, and perhaps longer then to
some 1 But he has gone, and we are left to mourn
Ms departure and to emulate hto virtues, trusting
that
11 After life's fitful fever he sleeps well.”
But a few days ago wo were engaged in the mourn
ful duty of rendering funeral tribute to a member
of this House from our slater State of Now York,
and now .end suddenly, tbe dark shadow of tbo
wlog of death is egelh thrown over >htobftU. Wo are
here, sir, to pay the last sad tribute of respect to
the memory .of my venerable colleague, to con
dole with bto sorely ltricken family and sympathize
with them in - the mournful and heavy offllotlon
laid noon them by the hand of G«d. Most sineero
ly do I sympathize with them and hear my willing

TERRIBLE COLLISION AT SEA.
The V. S. Surveying Steamer Walker
Ran Into and Sank at Night*
STTJLX, PARTIOTJ LAK 3.
Twcny Lives Supposed to be Leet,
NAMES 0? THE SAVED AND KISSING.
One cf the saoafc terrible disasters upon the
water whichhave occurred in this vicinity since the
barncogof the steamboat New Jersey, fire or six
years ago. on the Delaware, happened on Tbnra*
day morning, off the Jersey o<m«. At half put
two o’clock on that morning, the United States
most survey steamer Walker, tinder command of
Lieutenant •J. J Guthrie, of the United S ates
navy, was run into by a coasting schooner, and
damaged so much that aha .went down in half an
honr afterwards, and twenty of the crew. are
believed to bave been lost. Soma four or five of
the survivors arrived in this Mty yesterday by the
steamboat Delaware of Sanford’S lisa of New
York steamers, from' Capa May,-and, from one of
the persons who were on board the Walker at the
time of the unfortunate collision, one of our re
porters obtained the following
STATELIEST OF A SURVIVOn.
The U~ R. coast survey steamer Walker left
Norfolk on. Tuesday, the 19'b inst., bound for New
York. The whole number of souls on board con
sisted of sixty-nine, inoludlng one lady,.the wife
of J.A Seawell, the first officer* >v**ything
went on prosperously till the morning of ths sist,
'Thursday,) about- 2 -o’clock, when in right Ab
secom light-house (*be light bearing N w it?) the
light from an unknown schooner was et*n ms
poim on the starboard bow The wind w*«N N.
E lE. The Walker .was heading N. N B JB,
making about 5) knota. . As the schooner-reared
the steamer, the light became ahead, and finally
on the port bow. Then tha helm of the W*lbrr
was put to, “ port.” bringing, the schooner’s light
nearly abAtn. Saddruly the’schooner jibed over
from the starboard to the “ port ” tank, and came
down under all sail square abeam of the Walk»r,
knocking a plate off the bow below the water Ime,
which caused her to fill so rapidly th t she sunk in
SO minutes after the collision. The wind w*i
blowing a double-reefed topcall breexe at the time,
