Congressional Proceedings. We copy the following extracts from the Journals of Congress of July 10th, 1867: 15 RATH OF HON. CHARLES DENISON 'Mr. BOYER. Mr. Speaker, the sad du ty has devolved upon me to announce to this House the death of my colleague and friend, our late fellow-member, Hon. CHARLES DENISON, Representative from the twelfth congressional district of the State of Pennsylvania. He died at his home in Wilkesbarre during the late re cess of Congress, of a pulmonary disease with whicli he had been lung afflicted, and which, during the latter part of his congressional ; career, compelled his fre quent and sometimes protracted absence front his seat in this Hall. Ile,,was born on the 23d day of Janu ary, 1818, in the valley of Wyoming, in the State of Pennslvania, where he resided the whole' of his life, and was chosen by those who knew him longest and best to represent his native district in the 'Con crress of the United States. He was a man of liberal education, and a graduate of Dickinson College in 1838. lie early 'adopted the profession of ate law which he continuously and successfully practiced until elected to the Thirty- Eighth Congress. lie was afterwards elected to the Thirty-Ninth Congress, and again elected to the present Congress, to represent the same constituency for the third time, which in Pennsylvania is al ways regarded as an especial mark of dis tinct ion. The infirm health of Mr. Dealsolv pre vented him from taking that, active and prominent part in the proceedings of this body which otherwise, would have been expected from his strength of character arid fine intellectual abilities. The same circumstance prevented in a great degree the cultivation on his part of that general acquaintance among his fellow-members which his excellent social qualities would !; otherwise have prompted ; but be coin ' manded the respect and confidence of all who approached him. He was a miin of sound judgment, patriotic imptilses, and inflexible purpose. Modest and without ostentation, but full of courage arid deter mination to meet the requirements of ev ery occasion. No possible temptations of personal advantage could swerve him from his convictions of public duty ; and he would make no compromise, even indi rectly, which had the least appearance of a surrender of principle. Correct iu busi ness affairs, kind, steadfast, and true in his domestic and social relations, his private, like his public life, was above reproach.— Death to him tva.s neither unexpected nor terrible. It may not be inappropriate in me to relate an incident illustrative of his calm contemplation of its near approach. It is well known to this House that during the last session of the Thirty-Ninth Con gress he was appointed a member of the select Committee of Investigation on the New Orleani3 Riot. But just as he was about to start upon his intended journey to New Orleans to join his colleagues there, he was suddenly prostrated by ill ness and I was appointed to take his place. The evening betbre my departure from Washington on that occasion, in a con versation at his room, he informed me without the least emotion, and as if he was conversing upon a matter of ordinary bus iness; that, in his judgment, the termina tion of his lifewas not far distant. To my encouraging remarks lie simply and ca;m ly replied that it, was appointed unto all men once to die, and that it ought not to make much difference to them as respects the exact time when their earthly mission was bteught to a close. He spoke like one whose peace was; made with God, and whose concience ivas void of offense to word man. May it 139 given to all of us so to live that we rk tq p may thus meet the death that is appCiiitAd - for all the living. Mr. Speaker, I inove the adoption of the following resoliitions: Resolved, That the House of Represen tatives beard with emotions of deep regret the announcement of the death of Hon. CHARLEA DENISON, a Representa tive in this House from the Sate ofPenn sylvenia. Resolved, That this House tenders to the wite and family of the deceased its pro found sympathy in this our mutual be reavement, and as .a testimony of respect for the character and memory of the de ceased the members of the House will wear the usual badge of mourning - for thirty days. Revolved, That the Clerk be directed to transmit to the Senate a copy of these res solutions. Mr. RANDALL. Mr. Speaker, I rise to respond in part to the resolutions which havejust been offered in reepe et to the memory of my late'colleague, Mr. Charles Deni Son. It was my privilege to be his associate in the Thirty-Eighth and Thirty-Ninth Congress, and he was alto present at the first session of the present Congress in March. An acquaintance and association with him soon ripened into a regard and friend ship, for I was not long in finding out WS noble traits of character. Aealegislator he ; vas able, intelligent, and pore; as a eitlien, of patriotic motives And unyielding and unbending purpose MONTROSE, PA., TUESDAY, JULY 23, 1867. and intent; as a friend he was true; as a , husband and father he was affectionate and beloved. In a word he was a good man ; so lived, and so died. In the public councils he commanded unbounded respect, and at his home his three elections to this House indicate in what esteem he was held. His example should not he without its lesson. A pub lic man who can yield this life with such a name to live after him as Charles Denison, may indeed he imitated. Mr. MILLER. * * * While a member of this House his•gentlemanly deportment and urbanity of manner commanded the aimiration and respect of his fellow-mem bers. He took an active part in the great issues of his country ; though we d fered on the political question of the day, and as to the best mode for the restora tion of the late rebellious States, yet all who had the pleas of his acquaintance will accord to him honesty of purpose and devotion to his country. * * Mr. GE l'Z. Mr. Speaker, heathen phi losophy teaches us to say nothing but good of the dead; Christian philosophy teaches us to say no evil of any man, living or dead. I think, sir, that disregard of Christian precepts is a more venal offense than the violation of the heathen maxim. For if we assail ihe living, he is present to con front his accusers and defend himself. If e asperse the dead, be cannot answer. The tongue,.however vocal it may have been, is mute; the lips, however eloquent, are staled in silence that no human power can break. But the friends of the gentle man whose death has just. been announc ed find a sad pleasure in the knowledge that, even if any one had the malignant will to defame his memory, he could find naught to warrant it. His private lif was blameless; his public career was be yond reproach. Charles Denison was a native of the beautiful Pennsylvania valley which has been made classic ground by the immor tal verse of one of E•igland's greatest po ets. Ills thou , lits and feelings naturally partook of the Acid scenes and sweet in fluences which suarounded his childhood and youth Iltm manners were gentle, his imagination vivid, and his mind so equal ly balanced that its serenity was rarely, if ever, disturbed. That he was a man of worth is proved by his election to a seat in this House for three successive terms by a people rigidly jealous of their inter ests and ever, watchful of the speech and aots of their Representatives. His con stituency of all parties respected him; those of the party to which he steadfast ly adhered confided in and loved him.— Could the most partial eulogist say more in his praise. Mr. Vas TRUNIP. Mr. Speaker, brief as was my acquaintance with our lately cherished but now deeply lamented friend and fellow member, I cannot refrain from offering my testimonial of regard to his many vin ues, both as a man and as a citi zen. I feel that I should not only do vio lence to my own emotions, but that I should fail in my duty to the honored memory of the dead, did I not, in this for mal way ai least, mingle my heartfelt re grets with those of his more immediate colleagues, his surviving fellow-members from l'enusylvania. This manifestation of respect is eminently due to departed worth. Either morally or intellectually Charles Denison was no common man.— Every line of his speaking face, every de liberate utterance of his thoughtful mind, stamped him as a man of marked individ uality of character. No man of kindred sympathies could be in communion with him and fail to be impressed with the con viction that truth, honesty and in tegrity fouud livine• '' and congenial home. I scarcely ever knew a man who grew so rapidly and so favorably in the esteem of those who came in contact with him. Not that he was forward in his ha bits of forming new associations or mak ing new acquaintances; not from any off hand readiuess of familiarity with stran gers, or over-frankness ofteinperament or ' character; but from a quiet, though gen ial, an easy, but sincere and earnest social disposition, which made him at once, and , without; undue formality, both an agrees hie confpanion and a highly interesting and instructive friend. 1 In re , ation to all the duties of life, civ il, religious or political, or in regard to the passions, the prejudices, or the weak-1 nesses of human nature, be was a man of high-toned and liberal views, decided and 6rm in his political convictions upon all' tlw great and cardinal questions of na tional policy ; rigid and uuvacillating in the discharge of his public duties, though always characterized by a never-failing personal courtesy to all those who might differ with him in opinion. He was a par tisan only because political virtue and po litical truth were necessary to insure the public welfare in a constitutional govern ment through party organizations. In him good faith to an obligation, whether public or privdte, was a principle rather than a sentiment. Duty was his highest motive, an approving conscience his no. blest earthly reward - . - He achieved an honorable success in life, simply because as to him, in a moral point of view, there could be success nowhere except as it lay in the plain path of duty: * In dropping the tear of friendship np• on his Untimely but honorod grave, no extravagance of eulogy, no long-drawn catalogue of his virtues would be appro priate to, or in harmonrwith, the modes ty and unostentatious nature of his char acter while living. It is enough to say, that iu his death we have lost a valuable and truly honorable member of this body, Pennsylvania a useful and upright citizen, and his move immediate constituents an able and faithful representative. Sadly, sir, but with a lively and gratified recol lection of the friendship of the departed, I second the resolutions of respect and con dolence offered by the honorable gentle man from Pennsylvania. The resolutions were agreed to unani mously. Mr. BOYER. As a further tribute to the memory of the deceased, I move that the House do now adjourn. The resolutions were agreed to unani mously, and the House at half-past three o'clock adjourned. PEOCEEDLNGS IN THE SENATE. Mr. McPherson, Clerk of the House of Representatives, appeared . below the bar and announced that he was instructed to notify the Senate of the death of Hon. Cu ARLES DENISON, late a Representative from the State of Pennsylvania, and to communicate the proceedings of then House thereon. Mr. BUCKALEW. I ask for the reading of the resolutions received from the House. The PRESIDENT pro lernpore. They will be read. The Cierk read the resolutions of the House of Representatives. Mr. BIICKALEW. Mr. President, the re ception of the resolutions before us from the House of Representatives imposes up on me the duty of submitting some re rn'arks concerning the late Representative from the twelfth congressional district of my State. And I must commence with the expression of my regret that I am not prepared to speak fully and clearly upon all the points which are appropriate to the occasion. I knew Mr. Denison for twenty-four years ; during which time ho was a mem ber of the bar, and resident at Wilkesbar re, in Luzerne county. In recent years, in consequence of feeble health and the pressure of public duties, he withdrew himself from the practice of his profession and bestowed his attention somewhat to agricultural pursuits. The family of whicli be came is one of distinction in the histo ry of the Wyoming valley, a fact which was favorable to his success at the bar l and in public life. Mr. Denison was horn January 23,1818, and was a student at Dickinson College, where be graduated in 1839. He was elected a Representative in Congress in 1862 for the district composed of Luzerne atd Snsquehanna counties. He was re elected in 1884, and again in 1866 ; on the latter occasion by an increased major ity, for be was able to concentrate upon himself a large measure of popular favor, and possessed some marked qualities of mind and character for commanding it.— His will was firm ; his industry constant; his temper was steady, and his courage unquestionable. He was of the men who pursue an object in private life with perse verance and zeal, and who, when placed in public stations, do not bend before the pressure of the times. But tenacity of purpose, resolute courage, and fidelity to conviction, important as they are to suc cess in such a career as his, are not alone sufficient to secure it. He possessed in addition a sound judgment, a sense and love of humor, and fidelity to associates and friends. Hence he was able more perfectly to combine the elements of suc cess as a professional and public man ;. to win and hold and use the confidence and attachment of client and voter. Mr. Denison did not claim to be emin ent as a profound lawyer, an eloquent speaker, or an accomplished man of the world. He was plain, though easy in his manners, genial and social in private in tercourse, and sensible everywhere:\ He made no false pretensions, and if he could now dictate his picture to us, would de sire to be painted as ho was, and in no false or flaring colors of art. Mr. Denison's political convictions were extremely ardent and uncompromising.— What he said in the House of Represen tatives and his votes there mark this trait of his character distinctly. It was never doubted that his political opinions were I sincere, and he always gave them unflinch ing support. After the adjournment of Congress at the short session last spring, Mr. Denison remained a short time in Washington,and I saw him almost daily. His health was then much broken, and he was not hope ful of its restoration ; but his mind was not /clouded by gloom nor was its energy impaired. It is a cause of gratification to sue that I was able to serve him at that time in several matters of business aod'of friendship in which his feelings were deeply interested, and thus contribute to his composure and satisfaction of mind. When he left I indulged the expectation that the repose and cdmforts of home Would invigorate his frame and enable him to meet, with us once more in couti -01.; taut it has been otherwise ordered.— His home has been clothed in mourning, and his seat among the Representatives of the people is vacant. He died at Wilkee- , barre, of pulmonary disease, a few days before the commencement of our present session, and it only remains for us to ac quiesce in the event, to accept the in struction which it affords, and to adopt appropriate resolutions of respect for the memory of the deceased. I offer for consideration and adoption by the Senate the following resolutions: Resolved, That the Senate has received with deep sensibility the announcement of the death of Hon. Charles Denison, late a member of the House of Represen tatives from the State of Pennsylvania. , Resoled, That the members of the Sen ate, as a mark of respect for the memory of the deceased, will go into mourning, by wearingcrape upon the left arm for the: residue of the session. Resolved, That as a further mark of re spect for the memory of the deceasekl,the Senate do now adjourn. Mr. CAMERON. Mr. President, I rise to second the motion of my colleagne,and I regret that I knew only a short time ago, since the Senate met to-day, that these resolutions were to be presented, for the reason that I am not as well pre pared to do justice to the character of the deceased as I should be if I had had no tice. *" • * Mr. Denison and I did not agree,in po litical sentiment, but I have always be lieved him to be not only a man of talent and culture, but a man of entire honesty, and of the most pure life and high-toned!, sentiments. I knew also, very well, the family from which his wife sprang. They also wore people who took part in the Revolution and all the struggles of this country ; but they resided in a different part of the State. I offer to his wife and children my most sincere sympathy for the loss of their busband and father. I can only add that I cordially unite in the res olutions of my colleatzne. The resolutions were adopted nem. eon. and the Senate adjourned. H-E-R-E WE COME.—There was a wed ing in a church in a village near Chicago, recently, which was attended by a crowd of people, the bride being a famous belle in that section, and the bridegroom a late army officer. There is a story about him that was received with great effect at the wedding. He was in the Western fron tier service,and one day (so the story goes) he went out to• hunt a bear. He had been away from camp a few hours, when his voice was heard faintly exclaiming--, : , " we come!" In a little time the same cry was heard again, but nearer; then it was repeated at intervals, nearer and louder; when fin ally the bold captain emerged from a bit of woods near the camp, running at the top of his speed, without a coat, bat or gun. In ho came to camp shouting, " Here we come!" "Here who comes ?" inquires a broth er officer. " Why, me and the game," gasped the officer, pointing to a big bear who show ed himself at the, edge of the woods, took a lori l g, look at the camp, and then, with a growl at missing his expected meal off the captain, disappeared in the woods again. " But why didn't you shoot the bear, and then bring him in," inquired one. " What's the use in shooting your game," said the captain, testily, " when you can bring it in alive as 1 did?" The story got home before the captain did, and was in everybody's month. The other night, as the bold captain led his in tended bride into the church, with the pride and grace so readily inspired by the occasion, some wicked wag sang out from the gallery : " H-e.r.e we come!" - Which was followed by such a shout of laughter as that old church never heard before. DIDN'T RISE.—In the year 1863,a meet ing was held in Lebanon, Indiana, for the purpose of getting up a supper and a fair for sick and wounded soldiers. Judge B. being loyal all over, was n very active in such matters, and was appointed chair man of the meeting. There was quite a number of ladies present. The business progressed rapidly, and as most of the articles for supper were to be donated,the Judge called, in his ludicrotis manner, on those present to know how much they would contribute. Almost enough was given to complete the arrangements,wbcn some one suggested that it would be nec essary to have some milk. " Oh, yes," said the Judge, rising with great dignity, "all ladies who wish to give milk will please rise." The ladies didn't rise. —Most businesS men are familiar with the printed endorsement on the envoi. opes of a majority of business letters Dow n-days : "If not called for within tea days, the postmaster will send this letter back to the writer," etc. A Schenectady man has got up a new indorsement on envelopes, which its an improvement. It runs thus; " If Ptlr. Blank don't pay the bill In this dunning letter within ten days, the post• master may open this and send us the money himself!" I VOLUME XXIV, NUMBER *3O. The Fox, the Goat, and the Garroter A fox and al goat were walking togeth• er along the main road. After hating pd yenned a few yards, they taw a bag lying at the side of the hedge. " I wonder what there may be in that bag," said the goat. I'll see," said the fox; aid putting his mouth to the string with which the bag was tied, he bit it through in a moment. Then seizing the bottom of the bag with his teeth, he shook it, and the most splen did carrots rolled out. " Those aro fur me," said the fox, "for I opened the bag." " You shan't touch therii." answered the goat, "else I'll batter you with my horns till your bones crack.' The fox looked at the large horns of the goat and showed his teeth. The goat see ing the fox's teetb, thought within bird- self ; " I don't like those sharp fellows," and the fox thought, " I don't believe my ribs would stand those horns." So they kept standing.over the carrots, and looked at each other, but neither had the courage to touch the spoil. After a pause the fox said: "-What's the use of our standing here? Let us see which of us is the stronger, Yonder are two heaps of stones. Take yoU one of them, and I will take the oth er; he who first throws down •his heap will have the carrots." " Very well," said the goat. ,So they went each to his heap. The goat placed himself on his hind legs„ and knocked with his horns till the ground rebounded, but the heap kept immovable. " You don't hit hard enough," said the " Take a run at it." The goat went a few steps back, and ran at the heap as violently as he could. Crack ! crack I and both his horns fell to the ground. When the fox saw this he commenced dancing on his hind leg'.. " Ali, my dear fellog',' £ cried be, " the carrots are now for me." " Not yet," said the goat. "You havust , thrown down your heap, and if you touch the carrots before then, I'll fight you with the stumps that are left on my bead." The fox looked at the goat's stumps, and thought, " One of them is very sharp; he might rip up my sides." "Very well," he said; "I'll throw down my heap; it's a trifle to me." The fox beg an digging round the hole with his forefeet till there was a large bole in the ground. The head tottered - and fell; 'whoa ! it fell on the fox and broke his left bind leg. " Jump at the carrots," said the goat, maliciously. " I now leave them to you." " I can't," sighed the fox ; "my leg pains me so much. Yon may have them." " Very well," said the goat, and ran to wards the bag. But, oh, dear ! there was neither bag nor carrots, for during their quarrel a peasant had passed by and pick up both. "Alas!" cried the goat. "What fool we are! Had we divided the treasure in peace, I should have saved my horns,you your leg, and each of us would have had enough of carrots."—De Liride. EtopzatENTs.—An Ohio paper tells a novel love story. A young couple plane. ed an elopement, the girl descending from her room upon the traditional ladder, but at the gate they were met by the father of the girl and a minister,_ by whom_ the young couple were escorted to the parlor, where to their surprise they found all their relatives collected for the marriage ceremonies, which took place at once. It was a neat paternal freak. Not near u neat as that of a fond parent we know of. He heard his daughter and her fellow plan. an elopement. The next day the old man waited upon the young one and addressed him thus : "You're a tine brave youth,and I don't object to you for a son-in-law. Here's a hundred to aid in the elopement,. May you live happily in the same house, and may no accidents occur to throw the least shadow on the sunshine of your life. Ail I request is, that you elope with my daughter—she's a a mighty nice girl,you know,but somehow her mother and I nev er could travel smoothly with her; we don't kuow her good points—elope, with her to such a distance that she won't re turn to her loving father and mother anf more. Good by, sonny, and may you be happy." There was an elopement that evening of one. The young man went un accompanied. He thought everything couldn't be right when the old cook was anxious to get rid of the girl. The fattier looks upon this as a very neat bit of strat egy, for one who had never been on Mo- Clellan's staff. —At the recent , election at Prague s .speaker, in proposing the candidate of the Bohemian Central Committee, concluded as follows : " Now every one of you take a blank sheet and a shilling.
