Mr. Speaker, thie Con Krt's, liom the hour of ils niotiliiiK in Ueccniber, 1875, ontil lh day of its adjournniuiil in August, 18TU, atood in the shadow of an impending tulumity I A Speaker was eltietcj wtio, by reason of bis long Burvico, bis largo Xierienco and pi'u-emineiit ability, was deemed worthy of tbo exalted station, lie brought to thu disuliuruo of its duties a near Dead, a sound Ueiti t, an impar tial judgment, and a resolute will ; but, sir, it was painfully nvidenl to crerv one that a mortal and fast-consuiniiii; malady had ptMsession ol him. In the very hour of his triumph, when be had ot his unibition ; when there lay beloro the bright pros pee Is of lUture usefulness and still higher honor ; when he hud u right to leel thut bo was about to enjoy tlio full fruition ol a laborious and well-spent lilb, be was summoned to me areuu ( oniin I witu thu lust ene my, ono in wbieh wo must all cngnge anu in wmcii no mortiil van triumph roraitysanu weeks and montlis wo stood sad and helplesa apuetatnra of thu flix;o struggle. We Weil knew it to be hopeless, and our sorrow was sou roo ty lessened by our admiration lor tin horoio couraue, the aublimu liirliludo. the dauntless spirit with wliieh bo nmrehed lairih to meet and embnieu death. . i - .Mr. Speaker, it was not mv L'Ood fortune, as it was youi mid thut of others who hear mo, to hnvo seiTed with him In loi merdays.when he stood upon this fltsjr the peer of any one in inieiiwi nmi anility ; ami, iheretoru. 1 leave it to thoso who bavo ft personal knowledge to speuk ol his merits and services as a legislator and statesman. My personal acquaintance with him began wilh the Hrst session of this Con gress. Under ordinary circumstances it would necessarily huve been slight, but painful evonls, fresh in tho rocol lettion of nil of us nnd ol" tbo whole country, placed mo in such rulutlotis to him as to render It almost a duty, as it is a mournful satisfaction, to put on record my cstimuto of his character as a man. Aller years of public service, hero aim eisew here, be stood ut the threshold of thu grave, comparatively poor in this wwrld s goods, and, to bis great honor bo it skiKuii, rich in nothing save his good namu, bis euaracter tor spotless integrity, his unblemished reputation for purity in public aud privuto lite. Thcso wire his jewels ; thuso were the treasures which lieirarnered : thoso be valued more than bouses and hinds or all mere earthly possessions, But, sir, when weak and worn by disease, when even hopo had fled, when tho dark shadows of death were closing about him, a base and cowardly attempt was mane to roo nun 01 nis good namu and send him to his grave disgraced aud diehono-od. It oecamo my nainlul duly to inform him of the nutuju of the charge pi cfcrrvd against him. Ho met it wilh a philosophic composure and slern dcttunce which told of hit con scious innocence. Courting the most searching investigation, be demanded to meet bis base accuser luce to face. For long and weary days the investi gation proceeded. I w ill not attompt to describe the proud and doliunl spirit with which' ho met and braved the tumble ordeal. Ho broken anddisul in body, those who knew him best had grave tears that death would seal his lip beloro be could make reply ; but tuo very cxineency seemeu to rekindle and vivny nis expiring energies, to en dow him wilh now and almost super human power. To him it was aatruif- glu more grave and terrible than that wmcn no nail oeen maKing lor pro longed existence: it was for untarnished reputation, (or unsullied honor. To the dying man these wera dearer and tur mure precious than moru exislenco, lor without t Hem It would huve been a curse. Thu hour of his triumphant vindication came, when in this Cham ber each representative of the Ameri can people then present rose aolemnly in his place and declared bis prolound conviction ol bispurity and innocence. Thus the dark cloud w hich threatened to obscure the brightness of his setting sun was rolled away, and a blessed peace, a serene tranquillity camo to the great heart ol the dying Speaker. 1 may not lift thu veil which right fully separates his inner and privato struggle with disease, to All his duty. It was illustrated in tbo last hours of his tenacious lite, for his reason re mained unimpaired to the end. 1 hare said that his reason and con science wera his religion. It was his babit to submit everything to thia test. Ho squared bit life with scrupulous reason. No temporal mUrest of bis own or that of bis family swerved him Irom following this iruidinir clement ol his Character. Ho was a scholar; ho was A disciple of the positive philosophy, devoted to the tenuis ol Herbert Kpencer, John Stuart Mill, Compte, and Buckle. His political science was drawn, as most iHihtical science Is, Irom those of simi lar philosophical inclinations.' Jeremy Boutham waa hi teacher, consciously or unconsciously. His ideas were Dot transcendental, but utilitarian. The bunt of bis mind waa increased by his studies in this school of philosophy, but there was no unreasoning skepticism in hi character. Despite his unwillingness to believe in anything miraculous or improbable, bis heart was reverential b lore- the ureal Omniscience. With him reason was the firstborn, and, though twin wilh faith, both iuhurited the lilintlirg. If be bad any bias in bis mind it Was toward reaauit, though his faith walked timidly band in baud with it. lib said that the sun is reason, while faith ia the lcer orb that shine by night ; Michael O Kerr made the great light to rule bis busy day, How far the lesser ruled ia the content illations of the litrbt only God know. If litilb abiiica only long as sbe reflect some taint illumination from the brighter orb what casuistry shall discard this man religion nature Irom the abrrnc of a tro) religion. - It la nob eeetujaarjr to reaevr the scene or hi deal!) Dud her and now. Only thi may be aaid, from competent medu ouiuied to beat. This fact may serve somewhat to account for the positivo noss of his purpose in life and tho posi tive philosophy to which his intellect inclined. He was a Democrat on principles oxen by bis studies ana philosophy, l was about to say, by bit religion, i ot (as has been truly said) be was averse to tho rough encounter ol the huitini;, It was dilllcull to induce him to speak outside of hit neighborhood. Onus in .Now 1 ork be promised to talk for five minutes to my triends, but when on bis feet, and with an audience svinna- thiiing with his Irco-trado Ideas, be ueia the audience lor two boors in one great plea for his favorite libeialities of commerce, and aguinBt tho merce nary inequalities ol protection. These wore his favorite themes to illustrate. his general political ideas. They were to him an enthusiastic sentiment bi principle of action. Ho traveled abroad to study them, lie came to Congress to give them vigor and effect. Uo waa averse to the crowd. When writing to him about my jro tempore visit to tho great Exposition, he ex pressed bis regret that be did not sae tho grand engine and its wondcrf.il ramifications of harnessed forces ; but ot the same time be said that he shi ank from such throngs like the sensitive plunt before tbo human touch. Yet his political thoughts were over "broad, .- .f..'- M'tll Mi. Hi. iral authority, that raretv ha one of oar not been rifted with tin tenaci ty ef life, lit iitceji inu -bit) (salt section of the questions growing out of reconstruction and the aoutliorn ballot, whien bad been to bun a special study allow the ultimate scorn of a mind ut terly hating IVat'd.and tbo lofty patriot who reverenced all sections and re speetod all riirlits. It it said that th spectroscope ruveals that there is a star winch burns gold for Its illumination. By a wonderful coincidence It it the distant star Atdebaran fur oft in the group of llyades which tho Roiscru cians, who sought to transmute all metals into gold, worshipped. That tar was their fateful genius for inspira tion and alchemy. Not less precious to mm, man u it wera a star ot gold, waa each Slate.Jdisticnt in individuality and like to each other In a common right, Interest, and destiny, whether shining near or atiir I O, that God would raise up for our instruction and guidance other men of the same exalted type ot American manhood men as just, other haters of corruption aa earnest, other tribune ot the people as peerless and tearless, and other statesmen a lofty and pure in patriotic devotion I Whun. air, I per- twive the emblem of mourning over the seat he o lately occupied, shrouding our ensign, the omen ts sadly tiortun lions and painfully suggestive. Were he with us in this hour of our solicitude 1 know, sir, that be would not full with oourageou counsel, lie would revive the heroism of that parliamentary band before which royal prerogatives cow- erud when before tho privilege of the Commons and it staunch Siwakers, thu bills of right of a free people were made paramount to Ibe thunders of the throne ! Uis fame was not quenched by death only bis opportunity, it was said by Theodoru l'arkur, ol Samuel Adams, that be was not in one sense a Chris lian man,-but one of Plutarch's men So was Michael O. Kerr. Hi human worth can only be reckoned by the gravity of hi loss to us, in this perilous and anxious trial tor tho atantiuy and genius of tho Government. If liberty through his death has lost Irom this Hall of tbe people one of her purest devotees ; if liberty, like Algernon Syd ney, must go to the scaffold, yet from tbe scaffold she will ascend to another sphere where there is a better rode of justice and right ; and there in thut realm, who will give bcr loss stinted welcome than the immortal spirit ol Michael C. Kerr. Under such patriotic thoughts as wore his, still surviving death, our country may cease from its passionate discord. Then peace will bind our States as sheaves are bound in the har vesting, season alter season, till the latest generation. You, Mr. SKiaker, and ye who are your brothers in thcso exalted trusts, ye who have the keep ing or this bruised and broken land, can ye not ail rise under the admoni tion ot such a life as our late Speaker lived, into a higher tense or duty and a more self-sacrinciiig patriotism T Can we not encompass our beloved land around with a wall of (Iro that will not burn, but guard ? Shall ye not do this before ita grave yawns ; that grave where there is no work, nor knowledge- nor device, nor wisdom 7 1 bus faith ul unto death in our trusta, as he was, from bis outer and public liie, but it would bo unjust to bis memory did I fail to record bis lively sense uf this crowning act of kindness and justice on the part ot those whose good opin ion was so dear to him. To his sensi tive and dying ear it told of the verdict which alter-times would render. It broiiL'hl profound consolation to him, and thercatter he was fully prepared to say, "Jjme ammit: His was a proud, sensitive, and im perious nature, oven shrinking from lumiliarity with the world, asking littlu of its sympathy and caring less for its applause lie clioso to be Judged by Ins acta rather than by prolnwions. His convictions were- deep anil decided upon all questions, and be did not best tate to obey and follow them to their ultimate and logical results. He eon trolled and led hia fcllCT-inen by tho shour lorce ol bi intellect rather than by tbe influence of bi heart. He w always a teacher, a leader ; never an mutator or senile follower. In any era ot our history be would have been a character of mark, hi moral courage and hia mental power alike fitting bim for tbe performance ol thegrsroat mo ment.

No holocaust ol fire snupped his lile's cord suddenly. The cord was gently untied ; the golden howl melted awa) as if it were a scarf of vapory amethyst, or mllier aa the light lades away Irom tho firmament at tho coming on of evening mild. Just as tho sun went down, his spirit peacefully departed. The pearl dropped from its wasted shell, as the sun passed behind the mountains.
