Congressional Hsoridhg<
With pleasure we express onr concurrence in
the condemnation of the practice, too prevalent in
nnwfwnf and inmuy of the Slates, of announcing
the death of members occurriug during a recess

to attend the funeral—beyond that is useless—
worse than useleas—heartless form. In the late
of Mr. Dickinson, of Ohio, this improper
practloe was alluded to in the Senate, and dispro
ved of bythat body. We hope this may prove a
forerunner of a salutary reform in that particular.
Cia.Oat,,
We agree entirely, in the views expressed by
our worthy cotemporary, in reference to this use-
less waste of lime and money. There is no heart
o»3 feeling in U; and, instead of a compliment,

Two Gmt Speeches in th« Hoo*»-Mr.

Hon. Thtdevi Steven* wm n»ed np-
Mr. Speaker throw* doublet*.
Yesterday was a- great day in the House. Col.
Bistell, oflUinoia, ho* made a very destructive I
charge upon the •‘chivalry,” which ia the theme Cf I
aaiveriil comment, and Mr. Winthrop has made
oie of hi* finest efforts, in vindication of himself I
from the frequent assaults of Mr. Hoot, Mr. Gid« |
dings, and other Free Sotlerr, in and out of Con* l
gfcea. Tojadge oi the excellence of Mr. Win*
throp'e speech from the attention it received, and
1 frooi the applause which it elicited, l ihonld pro*
Bounce it one ol tbo most eloquent and effectual
apeecbea ever made in Congress. This is the
opinion oftbe majority, but far myocif, » mast s&y
that 1 felt a little thin skinned &■ be was dealing
bis stinging blows about him, and concluded I
would leave the task of eulogy to other*; for as be
tween northern Whigs and FreA Boilers, in my
judgement, there is much to be forgotten and for*
given—much to be borne and forborne from and
towards one another. Mr. Winthrop has been
wronged and aggrieved, mistaken and therefore
misrepresented, 1 admit, not only by professed
Free Sailers, but by mnny Whigs of strong and
vehement convictions, and it is but natural that
he should entertain the feelingr.of resentment and
displeasure exhibited in his eloquent personal de
fence yesterday. No good, however, can be dooe
by prolonging and embittering these dissensions
among these Capufeta and Montagues of the
North. After all, they are equally fir freedom aad
equally for protection, harbor and river improve
ment!, and other Whig doctrine. There should
bs no strife between them, if it can bo avoided.
While Mr. Winthrop was spe- king, the Demo
cratic side of the House was completely deserted,
every member present took care to get a position
near him, or before him, so that not a word utter*
ed should be lost, end at several points he made
upon the Free Soilers, ..there was applause by
| clapping and stamping, not violent, but pretty gen-1
| era! and audible. I have seldom seen so marked i
, a tribute paid to the power of oratory than on this I
occasion. j
Col. Blssell, of Illinois, a Democrat, but who |
has done the Slats gallant service in the field of!
strife, against a foreign fee, made oao of the most |
powerful speeches that Has been heard upon this
floor during the present cession, rcmarkablo as it
has been for the brilliant and exciliog debate which
ilhasbrought out. Indeed nponthe general ques-1
lion at issue between the free and slave States,
I think this speech will have a more enduring ef*
fed than any other yet delivered in this branch of
Cocgroas. It was the more remarkable, from the
fsdihaltbc Speaker has been claimed as an nd«
| faerent of the Southern School of politics, and
come here with predilections so entirely hostile to
anything like Free Soilism, as to be considered
something e little werse than a “Northern oiq.
with Southern principles”— When, therefore, he;
!dorided aud refuted iho complaints of the South,vs
to alleged “aggression* - ’ upon it; when hu denounc
ed their disunion harranguea ai ‘ treason," and
their fustion rantalout their own couroge *cd
maaonnimity as trash;” when he spoke
of putting down overt aotsof disloyalty by fercc of
arm*, and showed whore the men and the mtini
.tioas could be found to doit; and wten-be deferd

arrogant aspersions proceeding from theSoulh great
"was the disappointment, disgust, and chagrin upon
one side, and corrurpacdlrgiy great the picrt-inc
and approval with which ho was listened to, by
the other. In fact the chivalry have seldom en
countered so rude’ a tilt.
I notice thnt it has been remarked by very
many northern prints, that except on two or three
notable occasions, the Senators ami ilr|ire»ent-t
-lives from the free States have pife-erwd this

connects the operations of the won hies engsged
in this second plot, for depriving Spam of this lost
of its colonial dependencies in America, with that
darker and more dangerous conspiracy for dis
membering this noble confederacy. It is affirmed
that a principal cause of the failure of the explod
; ed expedition of last summer, was, that while the
1 men raised for itwero nearly lo be all Americans,
’ he commander of the whole was a Spaniard, Oca.
Lopcx, formerly an officer in the Spanish forces
in Cnba. How this could be, I cannot
rleariy comprehend, since it is understood that
nearly the wholo tqra of three or found hundred
thoutasd dollars upended in the course af the
preparations, was furnished by Spanish subjects
in Cuba. • But it is said lo be sow proposed lo

Axotuex Mobdkr.—Aboot 11 o'clock Satur
day nigbi, Mr. William Schaffer, a carpenter by
trade, residing on the corner of Thirteenth aud
Wash atreeta, entered his house with In* throat
eat from ear to ear, and. before medical assistance
could be procured, ho dipd, without being able io
utter aword as to the raOse of hiasituation- Sub
sequently, on the B*me eight, it was ascertained
that Schaffer, in tbe early part of the evening, had
a difficulty with a near neighbor, named Moseh
backer, and that'lhere was strong cause to believe
that he and hit sons were the perpetrators of the
deed. Accordingly, loe'pohco arrested Guorge,
Mtlhais and Jacob Moschbacker nod Adnra Dome,
on suspicion, and lodged then in the oaliboose to
await an examination. Moschbacker andhia sons
have for some time past been engaged about the
City Eogineer'a department, ns chum bearers, and
are well known to many in the coraoroity,. The
particulars of the affair we were unable to learn.
Since writing the above, we learn that Scheffer
waa killed a' a beer house on the corner of Thir
teenth and Wash, and did Dot enter bis bodre,
aa above slated. A coroner’s inquest was held
over bis body yesterday, and tbejury rendered n
verdict that he enme to bis death by the hands oi
Jacob and Mathias Moschbacker and Adam Dome,
Schaffer's bead was nearly severed from his body,
and we learn that the evidence of gnih against
the above parties is ofihr most positive charac
ter.—Sr. Louu Rsp., Fei. 11.
TaaQOT— Fidelity or a Doq.—A dreadful,
tragedy occurred at Welle-tey, Li., on tbe 22d
all. The collector of taxes was compelled to
leavp his wife and young f'atpily alone over night,
while absent on business. The lady, knowing
that there was considerate money in the house,
sent for eome of tho family oT a neighboring black
smith to stay at the house. Her request was
Sruffly refused,but a podlar, who passed by in tbe
usk of ihp evening, consented to allow bis dog'
to remain as a prelector. In the night the Indy
was awakened by a disturbance and on entering
the room where the dog was left, she (bond tho 1
animal drawing a man through the window. The
neighbors were alarmed, and on examination it
was found that the robber was her neighbor, the
blaokvmilb, quite dead.
Baoxcv Haaarao— Rev. J. L. Hodge, Pastor of
the First Baptist Church, Nassau *>trecl, delivered
a -discourse on Buuday afternoon, id which he
commented on the recent calamity in Hacuc et.
Among ether affecting incidents, he mentioned
the death of Mrs. Gulliyer, whose fnuerhl he at
tended that afternoon. Mrs. G., ho said, was an
aged lady, and had three grandsoua in the build- 1
lug at the lime of ihc explosion. The charred re
main* of two were brought home, and the third
has ever tiQce been haDgmg between time and
eternity, in consequence of the injuries received.
The old lady waa as well as her grandsons when
they left homo on Monday morning. She loved
tbam*—they were her pride. When the mangled
remains of two, and the disfigured body of a third
were brought borne, she could not weep, hnt sal
la the old arm chair the picture of grief. She
continued thus, without giving any external evi
dence of disease, until Friday morning, when «he
Ml asleep-'in death. She died of ahroken heart
She. bid long been a membsrol Rev. Mr. Undge's
