' Washington, August 5 Sknati. Mr. Allison moved to take up the final adjournment resolution. Mr. Qonger opposed notion for the resenf untU the fate of the river and arbor bill should be knowir. Mr. Ingalls asked what was the length of time those interested in the river and harbor bill desired in order to allow the cxecutire time to act on the measure. Mr. Conger replied that they might want but half an hour or an hour. Mr. Ingalls asked whether the Sena tor from Michigan would oppose the ac tion on tho resolution today. Mr. Conger replied that he had no desire to prolong the session, in fact be desired to see it olosed. Mr. Ingalls said he thought the Sen ate was being trifled with. He submit ted that it was not appropriate after the business of both houses considered as closed, and when they were ready to depart, to be kept here doing nothing in the expectation or hope as a surmise or conjecture, that at some time in the future they would be advised what action might be taken by the executive on the bul sent to him for ' his ap- firoval. It waj trifling with the pub io interests to allow tne adjournment resolution to remain unacted on. It was the first time in executive history. that Congress had been permitted to ad journ without the executive coming to the capital and availing himself of the usual custom to ascertain the will of Congress. Mr. McMillan suggested that' it was but twenty minutes after the time of meeting and.it was not reasonable to expect that the President should be so much on the alert as to be present at the very hour of the meeting. After some further discussion in the same temper the .Senate got around the question by going into executive session. 1 he Senate took up, during the pro gress of the secret session, the resolu tion providing for' a final adjournment and having the amendment, fixing the tune at 4 o clock this afternoon adopt- edit. Messrs. Edmunds and Harris were appointed a committee toj wait on the Fratdent and inform him that Congress was prepared to adjourn. At 11 4o the doors were reopened. and oa 1 motion of Mr. Coke, the Senate bill, removing the political 'dis abilities of Seth M. itartoa, of Virginia, was taken up and passed. . ilr. rlumb, from the conference com mittee on the bill for the repeal of the pre-emption and timber eultufe acts. stated that the Senate eonferees had agreed to yield everything excrpt the provision that where there was an alle gation of fraud in the entries of land, the issue shall be sent to a court for ad judication. The House conferees had declined that, and had also declined to sign the conference report. Mr, Allison called up the jo-nt reso lution to pay the subsistence and travel ing expenses of the special agents and experts of the bureau of labor for the mSnth of July, 1880. Passed. Mr. Blair gave notiee that on the first day of next session he would ack the consideration of a joint resolution pro posing an amendment to the eonstitu turn extending the right of suffrage to women. Mr. Harris (the chair being occupied by Mr. Haw leyY offered a resolution of thanks to Senator bberman "fot the ability, courtesy and impartiality" with which he had presided over the Senate during ihe present session. The ques- ldent that he had no further communication to make and that he congratulated the two houses o the ter mination of their labors. The resolution giving a month's pay to the messenger who had been dismiss ed without cause waa offered bv Mr. Call and after a short discussion was adonted. Mr. Plumb, from the conference com mittee on the fortification bill reported that the committee had been unable to agree, and after a brief debate the subject ; was cropped. Mr. Call endeavored to get on for ac tion the joint resolution of the House to pay certain employees for the whole oi iRe month of August. Mr. Edmunds objected, saying that in his opinion the resolution was wrong. He moved that the Senate take a recess until 8:15 p. m. Agreed to. Mr. Edmunds moved thai the Senate take another reeosa till 8:50. The vote waa A to 11. ' Call ihe roll" said Mr. Edmunds, and the chair repeated the 1 a. il 1 . . m . . uruer w ine cierx. "ueiore tnat is done," interposed Mr. Allison. "But nothing else will be done" insisted Mr. that under the circumstances the resolu tion might bo printed in the Record. Mr. Caldwell, of Tennessee, objected. Mr. Baker then took the floor on the question of privilege, and as a part of his remarks had the resolution read, in order thua to secure its publication in the Record. Several efforts were made bv the democrats to prevent the reading of the paper, and during one of the in terruptions Mr. umson, or West Vir ginia, declared that the paper contained statements' which were false upon their face. When the document had been about half read. Mr. Bland, of Missouri. raised tho point of order that it was dis respectful to the House and asked that the speaker rule the paper out of order. This the speaker declined to do on the ground that the question of disrespect was one whieh must be decided by the House, and that bfore the House could decide upon it the reading must be con cluded. From this decision Mr. Bland appealed, and upon Mr. Blount's mo tion to tablp the appeal, he raised the point of no quorum. Messrs. Baker Edmunds, and ao the call wa prooeeded and Bland were appointed tellers, and LYING IN STATE. SIR. TILDES LTIKW IM OKETSTOH E.

Mr. Allison corrected his statement of yesterday by making the appropria tiona of the present fiscal year exceed those of last year by $4,000,000 instead of 833.000,000. Then Mr. Edmunds charged his motion for a recess so as to make it extend to six minutes before 4 o'clock, and entered into- a discus sion with the chair as to the parliamentary practice and rule in the case of the absence of a quorum, the chair holding that no mo tion but one to adjourn, or to compel the attendance of absent member?, was for an hour they retained their places in front of the speaker's desk, but no quorum was forthcoming.

The chair decided, that the message could be received.' Mr. Edmunds I appeal from the de cision of the chair. Chair The chair cannot after a re cess entertain an appeal in' the absence of a quorum.

The reading of Mr. Baker s resolution was then continued, but before it was completed unanimous consent was given to printing it in the Record. The adjournment resolution was taken up and the amendment of the Senate fixing the hour of adjournment at 4 o'clock today was concurred in. A bill was passed appropriating an additional sum of $35,000 for the selec tion of a site for a congressional library. The same bill passed the Senate yester day. At 2:25 the committee appointed to wait upon the President and inform him that Congress was ready to adjourn, ap peared at the bar of the house and an nounced that it had performed its duty and that the President had nothing further to communicate to Congress. On motion of Mr. O rieill. of Penn sylvania, the Senate bill was passed ac cepting the gift of Geo. Grant's relics.

Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, pursuant to call, there was a meeting of mechanics, businessmen and merchants. Mai. R. S. Tucker, in explaining the object of the meeting, said; "Fellow citizens: It has been thought proper by the friends of the late Thos. H. Briggs, Sr. , that a publio meeting of the citizens of this city should be called in order that they might give expression to their appreciation of his life and character, so long and favorably known by us, and to manifest the deep sympathy of this entire community with his bereaved family. It will now bo necessary, in order to perfeot the organization of this meeting, that a chairman and secretary should bo elected. On motiop, Maj. R. 8. Tucker was elected Chairman and the members of the press secretary. On motion of R. T. Gray, Esq., the following committee was appointed to draft suitable resolu tions: Messrs. VY. W. iiolden, R. T. Gray, W. J. Hicks, Jas. Boylan, N. W. West, E. IS. Engelhard, W. C. Stronaeh, J. C. S. Lumsden and W. E. Ashley. In the absence of the com mittee several gentlemen spoke. Capt 14. Stamps spoke of his intimate as sociation with Mr. Briggs in business and thought that his life had taught a i j Y i iii i . ii i lesson oi mcaicuiame vaiue to an wno had known him. The highest nosition a man can aocupy is to so live as to win the appreciation of all who know him He spoke of the death of Samuel J. Til den, and said that however muoh he had been honored he stood no hieher to day than Thos. H. Briggs, an humble servant of God. Mr. H. S. Keith, who had been in Mr. Briggs' employ for twenty years spoke of his love for his kind employer. K. ii. .Battle, Esq., said that Mr Briggs was one of the pioneers of the paosperity of Raleigh. He thought the secret of his success was that he was firm, honest and industrious. He spoke of the attachment of all of his employees as the . highest tribute that could be paid him. Mr. Briggs was an exemplar whom we all may follow. A. W. Haywood, Esq., related an m- ated an incident showing his great con fidenoe in Mr. Briggs' honesty. . Mr. A. M. McPheeters had known Mr. Briggs fifty, years and during all the intervening years he had known him well. He was a man of decided con victions and he did a vast amount of charity and when the news of his death went through the city many a poor man felt that he had lost a friend and many an eye was moistened With' tears. -He was a faithful and earnest Christian and was ready when the summons came. R. T. Gray, JCsq., at the request of ex-Go v. Holden, chairman of the com mittee on resolutions, read the following resolutions. The people of Raleigh assembled on this occasion, in Tucker Hall, to pay their tribute of respect and affection to the character and memory of their de ceased neighbor and friend Thomas xx Briggs, Sr., recogniie that in his death the city of Raleigh has incurred the loss of one of its best citizens, and that while this loss is deeply felt by all our people, it falls with especial force on laboring men and business men. For many years, dating particularly from the close of the civil war, Mr. Briggs had been actively engaged in business in our midst as an architect and builder, and as a merchant, and in these capacities and relations, as well as in that of a' director of the State penitentiary and of one of the city banks he had demonstrated his great useful- . a ness, nis nonesty, nis integrity, nis philanthropy, and his devotion to the interests and welfare or the whole com munity in whioh he lived. It may be truly said of him, without exaggeration and without undue color ing, that his integrity was perfect; that, in all business matters, while careful and attentive to his own interests, he was also just and honest towards others; and that, as nearly as is possible to mortals, he followed the golden rule of doing unto others as he would have them do unto him. Therefore be it Resolved, By the citizens of Raleigh, in publio meeting assembled : 1. That by the death of Thomas 11. Briggs, Sr., the oity has met with a ca lamity whioh produoes a publio sorrow seldom experienced at the demise of a private citizen, and is. deprived of one who in all the relations of life was an examplar of all the virtues whioh make the perfect man. 2. That we recognize in the life of our deceased townsman the valuable lesson that industry and economy, honesty and fair dealing, pursued through a long and useful life, will not only redound to the temporal prosperity of him who exercises tnese virtues, nut will also De get and retain the respect and venera tion of the community in which he lives, and will perpetuate his memory more lastingly, ana certainly more lovingly, than a monument of marble or brass. ' 3. That to everything affecting the in terests of the city, socially or commer cially, Mr. Briggs was always fully alive, and every enterprise that de served support had his moral and sub stantial assistance, while publio and pri vate charities found his hand never shut but always open and not only open but voluntarily extended. ; 4. That while by his industry and npright dealing, he accumulated and has left to his children a liberal fortune, yet the name he has handed down to them, a name npon which the closest oAmtinv cannot detect a spot or stain, is a heritage muoh more to be desired and one in wmou u vur v xaicucu is croud to claim a part. 6. That the people of Raleigh will ever cherish in affectionate remem brance his character and his virtues; and they would point the young men of this community and of this State to his ex ample as worthy. I 6. That a copy of these resolutions bo printed in the city newspapers and also. . be furnished to the family of the de ceased. Capt. S. A. Ashe said that ho sym pathized with every expression that had been made, 'and moved the adoption of the resolutions. i i W. II. Pace, Esq., seconded the mo tion for adoption, and spoke of his high appreciation of the character of Mr. Briggs. He spoke of the great devotion and affection that his employees had for him. He said that if all employers were like Mr. Briggs there would be no strikes. He was a peace-maker he will receive the rj ward of the blessed-1 ness promised the peace-makers. - r i ".1 Mr. J. J. S. Lumsden most feelingly epokeofhis long association with Mr. Briggs, and dwelt upon the value cf Mr. BriggaMife to the community. ? Maj. Li. S. Tucker said that. Mr. Briggs was one of the beat friends he had in the city of Raleigh, and that he deeply mourned his death. Born in Urwge, in 1821, his family 'came at once to Raleigh, and he had always been a citizen of this city. He was a good man, an honest man, and no man lived who would say that he was not in every relation of life a true mm. ; The resolutions were unanimously adopted. C. D. Upchnrch, Esq., moved that the business houses be requested to close daring the burial services, f This waa adopted. ! I The Fruit Fair.
