FAREWELL OF SFEAK.IIIIIVORTHINGTON.
V. ' ' 'ln the , Senate Speaker Worthington I
said :; Senators, we aro about to

pleatiaut scenes of home, and enjoy the
i
i society of dear friends. Before I hand
over the emblem of authority which you
;..
~• placed in my hands to my honoree. sue
; cessor, I may be permitted to say a part
.) ing word to the kind friends and...coin
, Pardons with whom I have been as.
eociates, and whose deliberations I have
Apparticipated during the last six years.
• Coming to this body a stranger to you all,
,‘ and haVing formed the acquaintance of
";;- seventy-five Senators, whO have occupied
~..', seats on this floor during that period it
l• is a source of much gratification that
• ' :I can say in my retirement I enjoy most
, -
;,,. „Scordial and friendly relations with each
- • One, and I have ;reason to believe that a
. "e mutual sentiment of respect is enjoyed '
.. i", by all. With this spirit of fraternal re
.; fostered as it , has been during our
association here,- we separate with eonfi-•
dent assurance that wherever our lot

(

i period a kind Providence has extended.
;i his protecting care over us, no arrow from
the quiver of death has been permitted
to penetrate any one of our number;
-:- ' and while loved ones have been torn
-.. from the side of some and caused
t
•'' !, hearts -to bleed with deepest anguish,
we haie much reason for gratitude that

broken. Invoking the blessing of

:' • 4.- FAREWELL OF SPEAKER CLARK. -
; : . +1 'ln the House Speaker Clark said:
- 1. I have no doubt that every member on
, this floor is glad that the session of tip
Legislature is so near an end, and that
'''".• we are so soon, to be relieved from the
. .1 - ; labors, duties and responsibilities of
'-; Rep
-4 resentatives, and to be enabled to return
. ,to our homes, and give some attention
,Ito our private business. But mingled
lkwith this feeling, there is also, with me
'parting
least, a'sense of regret and sorrow at
'parting from those with whom I have
• pbeen so intimately and constantly asso-
Niated for the last three months. Many
''
~'of you, at the beginning of the session,
e -- ;ere strangers to me; but as the business
jprogressed my duty as Speaker made it
,14 necessary for me to become familiar with
• you all. •I, therefore, 'feel more keenly
this separation than I perhaps otherwise
would. In many instances, our homes
being so far distant, it is probable that
we may never meet again; and as in the
, heat of debate, and from conflicting in
terests of our cons tit uents, there may
have occurred something that was not,
• pleasant at the time, I trust that if such
is the ease It will be forgotten.- At al
- - eve n ts , on my •part. I can say with per
fect sincerity, that I have not an unkind
feeling or thought towards any-member I
',.,, of this House. In fact I have no reason
to feel otherwise than satisfied, for I have
' always been treated by you with kind
., liess,, courtesy and respect, for which
•I: •I'eel gratified, for I am conscious
; AO; having very imperfectly performed
My, duties as Speaker. To the Clerks
-Of 'the House I am under many
; . Obligations, not only for their assistance
• ,:. dutdadvice, bu uniform their efficiency,
; iedustry, and courtesy to my-

'''t ; ,that wereVever to be placed in a siMilar
I pOsition to the one I now occupy, and
shad the power to appoint my own staf f ,
, -;- I would endeavor secure these gentle
men as my assistants and advisers. The

GREAT BRITAIN.
Lennon, April 16.-3 A. rt.—ln the
House of Commons to-night, in accord
ance with notice .previously given, Mr.
Gladstone moved the House go into
Committee on the Bill for the Disestab
lishment of the Irish Church. Mr. New
gate, Conservative member for North
Warwickshire, moved as an amendment,
that the House go into Committee on the
bill in six months from the present day.
This motion was equivalent to indefinite
.
postponement. A lively debate followed,
during which Mr. Aytonn, member fur
Kirkaldy, created a sensation by declar
ing his objections to that clause in the bill
which provided for the support of the
Mavnooth College. Mr. Aytoon is a lib
eral, and voted with the majority on the
division, March 2.3 d, when the bill passed
to second reading. His _declaration was
followed by a scene of great consterna
tion In the House. The opposition cheer
ed repeatedly, and counter Cheers and
other interruptions came from the minis
terial benches. When Aytonn ended his
remarks the confusion subsided and the
debate continued. Moat of the speeches
were made by minor members of the op
position. At the end of this discussion,
which lasted six hours, Mr. - Gladstone
arose and said due care would _be - given
by the government to the terms of the
rovision made for Maynooth College.
f t,
e attributed much of the opposition to
t e clergy in Ireland. That power had
Iken built up by the Old policy of Eng
land, which had been lately part
ly reversed, and was now to be
completely abandoned. He concluded
by declaring that the success of this
bill was not a question of party, but of
justice. ' Mr. D'lsniell followed. He dis
approved of a division on the, motion for
postponement, and said he Waa anxious
to go into committee on the bill. The
House then divided on the motion to go
into committee, with the following re
`snit: For the motion, 355, against 229
majority, 126. The- House then went
formally into committee on the bill, and
adjourned. .

CITY. AND SUBURBAN
An Interview with Louis Lane;the Col
ored Murderer—Hew he Appeers---He
still Protests ins Innocence.
Yesterday, through the kindness of
Warden Scandreth, of the county jail, we
were permitted to visit the unfortunate
colored man, Louis Lane, who is-to ex
patiate with his life on the gallows on
the 29th inst., the murder of his wife by
Poison. The poor old man we found oc
cupying a comfortable cell on the first
floor, which was remarkably clean and,
tidy. He sat in a chair as we entered,
and quietly arose to receive an introdue
tion, not flattering us very much in the
reluctance with which he made the ac
quaintance. He was very reticent at the
outset, and answered question" adoreseed
to him in a cold and ceremonious man
ner, seldom venturing to say more than
no or yes. He expressed himself as feel
ing well and enjoying a good apt elite.
lie said he was baptized on Sunday last
Into the Catholic church by Rev. Father
Kerr, who daily attends him in his cell,
and that he does not fear to die, fueling
fully prepared to meet his God, and!
having no hope for further life. No
clergy man of any other denomination has
visited him since his conlinewent. On be
ing asked whether guilty or not of the
crime for which he must die so soon, he
answered, without emotion, that he was
innocent, and, when requested to im
part some information regarding his pre
vious life, promptly replied that he
had nothing, to say about his history.
However, he said, he was born in London
county, Virginia, when, tie did not know,
but thought he was about fifty years of
age.. (ills appearance indicates that he
is well up in sixty.) He was married
when a mere boy and the woman whose
life he is chaiged with taking was his
third wife. He has two sons and two
daughters living, all of them married.
The old man appears completely bro
ken down, and we should not wonder if
he so far wastes away, in ahticipation of
his awful doom, as to render it necessary
to carry him to the scaffold for execution. .
He grew a 'shade more lively towards
the close of our interview, and occasion
ally laughed feebly, but he insisted that
he had nothing to communicate to the
outside world. He said that some kind
people had sent him cigars and eatables
which he had enjoyed. As he could not
'read he did not want books or papers,
sent him. He had learned to say hie
prayers by heart, and in his devotions
used a pair of rosary-beads presented to
him by his spiritual adviser. He cer
tainly appears to philosophically view
his terrible situation, and to be keenly
alive to the near approach of death, but
whether he will reveal his guilt by open
confession, or die with a protestation of
innocence on his lips, is a hard matter to
anticipate.
Lane is small in stature, and rather
dark in color. He has heavywhiskers
and moustache, both very gray, but his
thick, wooly head shows no mark of age.
HiscOuntenance is not =pleasing, hav
ing small; clear, sparkling eyes, lofty
forehead, and finely cut lips covering a
pretty set of well preserved pearly teeth.
He correctly uses good English words in
conversation, and there is an absence of
negroisms peculiar to the Virginian
bred colored people. As we were retir
ing from his cell two Sisters of Charity
entered, and the prisoner stepped for
ward to make them welccine.
One week from next Thursday, the
wretched man will atone with his life
the terrible crime of which he has twice
been found guilty. The scaffold on
which he will be executed will not be
erected before the evening proceeding
the day of carrying out the dreadful
sentence, and it will be constructed on a
plan much different from any ever used.
in this connty. The prisoner receives all
the atteption and consideration possible
for Warden Scandreth and Assistant
Warden Smith to bestow, and he feels
duly grateful and attached to them for
their marked kindness.
