Pursuant to adjournment tho Ral eigh bar mrt yesterday afternoon in the court house for the purpose of drafting resolutions of respect upon the death of Ma j. John Galling and was called to order by chairman Batchelor. Col. Fuller made the following beautiful and appropriate remarks: Ma. Chairman: Upon me devolves the sad duty of formally announcing to the Raleigh Bar that on yester day the loving hands of relatives and frienda consigned the body of our brother John Gatling to the place appointed for the dead. On Sunday last at about 11 o'clock at night, at his own home, and sur rounded by wife and children, our brother passed from the oarth "and the places which once knew him shall know him no mo;e again forever." No more will courts and juries hang upon his words and be edified and instructed by his lucid exposition of the law, and his candid and forci ble presentation of the facts of his case in hand. His life is ended, and. what he has accomplished for good alone remains to us of this highly gifted and fully furnished man. Mr. Gatling was conspicuous in every position in which he was pkreed; as a soldier he was bravely faithful 1 Vifl disharcrfi of dnf.v. a.n ft lnnriUln, tor he was intelligently diligerrtrVnifj a lawyer he was wary, painstaking and able, as a husband he w kindly affectionate, and as a father he was judiciously indulgent. But why shall dwell upon those things which are familiar to all who knew him well, and. especially in this place, amid those who were actors wi h him in many of the important events of his life!, ! But our brother is dead, and by many will soon, perhapp, bo forgot ten.' "Alas ! how soon we are for gotten," is a truth felt by all who have lived to man's estate. But there are some, I know, who will continue to hold his memory precious. To us, his brethren of the bar, death has purified him, and his faults, if he had them, we will forget, and his virtues, of winch he bad hia Bhare, we will cherish. In this spirit I lay my wreath upon his tomb. Col. Hinsdale then spoke as fol follows, after which he introduced the resolutions: Maj. John Gatling, whose death we have met to deplore, was born in the county of Gates in the year 1840. He entered the University of North Carolina at an early age and during hia college course gave evidence of the ability for whioh he was after wards so distinguished, graduating with honor in the year 1859. Soon after the commencement of the war between the States, be volunteered in the Confederate army, in which he served with conspicuous gallantry until the surrender. Having chosen tbe profession of the law, be obtained ma license to practice in tne year 1866- He represented his native sounty in the House of Representa ives in 1868. and af terw&rdi. having' removed to WakJ county, after a bril liant canvass be was electecLin to the Senate from his adopted county. He was a useful and influential mem ber,, serving his constituents with fidelity and ability. After removing to Raleigh he mar ried a daughter of Hon. B. F. Moore, of whom he soon after became the law 1 partner. When Mr. Moore re tired from the practice Mai. Gatlincr succeeded to the large and lucrative business of that firm. It was as a lawyer tha: he was pre eminently distinguished. He was a lucid and forcible speaker and an able advocate, Leaving ready command of the purest English, lie was most persuasive in nis manner, both to the jury and the court; had a discriminating legal mind and; was well versed in the learning of the profession. In the famous case connected with the estate of the late Hon. Geo. E. Badger, in which he appeared as counseljhis argument was oneiof great elegance aud force, and it was thought by all of his brethren who heard it, and they were many, that it would have doue credit to the great man from whose estate the liti gation arose. Mai. Gatling, notwithstanding the ardpous duties of his profession, found time to devote to the study of general literature, both ancient and modern, with which he wag. remark ably familiar. As a conversationalist he had no superior. He was a genial mend, a loving husband and a de voted father. After a lingering, and painful ill ness, ne died at nis residence near the city of Raleigh on Sunday, May j KE8OLDTI058. Rtsolvtd, That in the death of Mai. Gatling the bar of North Caro lina has been deprived of one of its most distinguished and learned mem bers. Resolved, That the chairman of this meeting be requested to present these resolutions to tbe Superior Court, now in session, with a motion that the same be spread upon the minutes and that a copy be transmitted to the family, of the deceased, with the as surance of our sincere sympathy in their great loss and affliction. 1 Northampton County Convenlon.

CONGRESS PROCEEDINGS YESTERDAY IN SENATE AND HOUSE. BIDDLEIiEEGEK S BESOLOTIOX FOB OPEK 8E83IOFS AGAIN THE AORICULTUEAL EXPERIMENT STATION BILL OTHKB NWS. By Telegraph to the News aud Observer. Washington, D. C, May 9 Sen ate. Among the bills reportei fi o n committees and placed ou the ca'cu dar wore the following: Senatetill to transfer the surrcv of the coast to the Department uf the Navy; House bill for the enlarge ment of the publio building at At lanta, Ga. Mr. Sherman, from the committee on foreign relations, reported ta';k (adversely) the resolution offered by Mr. Riddlebergwr for the considera tion of the fisheries treaty ia open seesion; and (also adversely) the res olution offered by Mr. Hoar for a re port of the debates and proceedings on the fisheries to be subject to the order of the Senate as to its publica tion. The resolutions were placed on the calendar, and at the suggestion of Hoar notice was given by Mr. that the resolution would be taken up for action tomorrow. Mr. Blair asked Mr. Sherman if the resolutions were to be discussed in open or in executive session. Mr. Sherman said that that was a matter for the Senate itself to deter mine. Mr. Morgan said he would offer to morrow a substitute for Mr. Hoar's resolution providing that Dennis Murphy, the official reporter of the Senate, and his assistants, to be ap pointed by the president pro tern, of the Senate, should be when duly sworn executive officers of the Sen ate, to make report of the proceed ings and debate on the fisheries treaty, such report to be printed in confidence from day to day for the use of the Senate, and to be filed in tho secret archives of the Senate sub ject to its order. The Senate then resumed consider ation of the railroad land forfeiture bill, the question being on the amend ment offered yesterday by Mr. Hoar confirming tbe title of that company to lands granted to the Portage Lake Ship Canal Company. Pending dis cussion upon this amendment the hour of two o'clock arrived, when the bill to establish a bureau of animal industry came up as unfinished busi ness only to be again laid aside to allow discussion of tbe land forfeiture bill to proceed. In order to assure the titles of homestead and pre erup tion claimants, Mr. George, of Missis sippi, moved to insert in Mr. Hoar's amendment the words "and all such pre-emption and homestead claims are hereby confirmed." Agreed to. Mr. Hoar s amendment was agreed to, and also one offered by Mr. Wil son, exempting from the provisions or the bill the lands in lowa upon which homesteaders o fere-emptors have established claims. The bill then passed without division. It declares foifeited to the United States all lands heretofore granted to any State or to any corporation to aid in the construction of a railroad oppositeto and co terminous with a portion m any such railroad not now completed and in operation for the construction or benefit of which the. lands have heretofore been granted, and all such lands are declared to be a part of the public domain. ihe fifth section excmpls from the operation of the act tho grant to the State of MissiBasippi for the Gulf and Ship Island Railway from the Ten nessee river, at Gun'er s Landing, to the Coosa river, at Gadsden. The sixth section fixes the price of even nnmbered sec ions of land within i the limits of all forfeited landgrauts at $1.25 an acre. Lhe eighth section gives to all actual settlers on railroad lands in Forida (on 1st May, 1888,) the right to perfect their entries under the homestead or pre-emption laws Ihe Senate then took up tbe copy right bill. Mr. Vance offered an amend ment to the fourth section by insert ing a proviso that newspapers, maga zines and periodicals shall not be en titled to copyright. Reiocted yeas 12, nays 28. Mr. Teller moved to add a new sec tion, limiting the existence of the act to five years. Rejected. After some further discussion by Messrs.

After argument aud without action, the Senate at 5 o'clock adjourned, leaving the land forieiture bill to come up again tomorrow on the mo tion to reconsider. HOUSE. On motion of Mr. Russell, of Massachusetts, the Senate resolution was passed appropriating $30,000 to enable the United States to partici pate in the International Exposition to be held at Brussels, Belgium. Mr. i uutterworth, of Ohio, called up the; bill authorizing the executive departments of the government to participate in the Centennial Expcsi tion of the Ohio Valley and Central States to be held in Cincinnati from June to October, 1888 Mr.iGrosvenor, of Ohio, offered an amenqrnent, which was adopted, pro vidingj that such exhibits as relate to the settlement of Marie' ta and the territory northwest of the Ohio river may be placed on .exhibition in Mari etta for three days. The bill passed Sherman tion of Mr. Blount, of Georgia, the bill was passed amending the act es tablishing agricultural experiment stations' in connection with colleges so as to enable the Governors of the States to receive installments of the appropriation when the Legislatures are not in session. The House went into committee of the whj'e on the tariff bill, and Mr. Morro w, of California, concluded his speech i.a opposition to the bill, em phasizing h objections to it by ilius tratfon of its probable effect upon California ia lustries lumber, raisins and borax ' In regard to the last name 1 article be referred to the rapid growth of tho n lu3iry since the tariff ad been placed on barax in 1S83. I he drmiostie product had increased ro:n .r,-ti00,0p0 pounds in 1883 tolO, X()0,0 10 iu 1887, while the nice, ow- ni'j ti'home comnetition. had deS , n l dined from 25 cents a pound to G oent3 a pound. The. pending bul proposed to place borax on the free line and the effect of this proposition was that tho great firm cf W. T. Coleman had been compelled to sus pend. . Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi, Klrie eJ at length the tariff history oi the couutry and denied that tho I'smo cratie party had ever fuvored protec tion for the sake of protection. The gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Randall), who probably went further than any other man on the Demo cratic side in support of a high pro tective tariff, stood committed as op posed lo the doctrine of protection for protection's sake. That was the doctrine of the Republican side. Mr. Kerr, of Iowa, inquired whether the Republicans did not all say that they were in favor of so apportioning the duties as to protect labor. Mr. Hooker, replied that that was their argument, but denied that they had tbe right to protect labor. The laborer was no mendicant. He was a free and independent American citizen. He only wanted the govern ment to take its hand out of his Eocket and let him enjoy the fruits of is labor. Mr. Houk, of Tennessee, entered and emphasized the solemn protest of the peoplo he represented against the material prosperity which had now just begun to dawn upon the new South by the enactment of the President's message into law. The Democratic platform, he said, had two ends to it, a protection end and a free trade end. The gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mri Randall) had rid den on one end of the rail, while Carlisle, Morrison and the rest had ridden on the other end. But now they were all going to get on one end of the platform and that would make it easy sailing for the Republican party in Tennessee. The pending bill would put out every furnace, close up exery marble quarry and destroy every coal interest in the State. Mr. Wise, of Virginia, commented on the evils which would be the nec essary result of a further continuation of high taxation, which filled the treasury with money, drained from the channels of trade and commerce. There were two methods of reduc tion of taxation contended for one by a reduction of tariff duties and tho other by the abolition of the internal revenue system. The Mills bill was a compromise between the methods. He discussed at leng h and condemned the protective sys tem, and argued that the high duties now imposed were not required to compensate for the differences in the cost of production of similar articles in tbib couutry and abroad, on ac count of the higher rate of wages in voguo in the United States. Mr. Cogswell, of Massachusetts, corrected Mr. Woodburn, of Nevada, who a few days ago read the na:ne of Secretary Endicott among the mem bers of the Cobden Club.Mr. Cogswell said William Endicott, Jr., of Massa chusetts, was a member, but Secre tary Endicott had never been. Mr. Kennedy, of Ohio, denounced the Democratic party as a free trade party, but qualified that denunciation by declaring that there was scarcely a Democrat ou the other side an avowed free trader,though there might be one who was a selfish protectionist. hach wanted his local industry pro tected, but favored free trade for everybody else's industry. Mr. Bouteile, of Maine, quoted sev eral authorities in support of the declaration made by bim on Satur day that Garfield had repudiated membership in the Cobden Club. He also read a tatter from Murat Hal stead explaining how he came to be made an honorary member of the Cobden Club after having mado speech in glorification of his country at a Whitehall dinner at Green wich, near London, in company with Cyrus W. Field and a number of British free traders. Mr. Rynum, of Indiana, cited au thorities to show that Mr. Garfield had been elected a member of the Cobden Club aud had accepted mom bership. Ihe committee then rose. The Speaker laid before the House message from tho PriBident, re turning, without his approval, the bill for the erection of a public building at Allentown, Pa-, and it was referred to the committee on public buildings and grounds and the House ad journed at G o'clock. A Democratic caucus was an nounced to be held at 8 o'clock this evening. Congreaaman Dlbrell,Dead. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Chattanooga, Tenn, May 9.

A traveller over the State, and so journing here on business for a few days, I dropped in on yesterday upon the proceedings cf the State Medical Society. A more intellectual, Letter looking, and more dignified set of men I have never seen. Some very learned pa perawere read, but they were so full of technicalities I could not under stand them except in part- It was evident that the Society, from the reading of these papers, and the able discussions had upon them, contains a number of the ablest and best medi cal men in the Southern States. We had the pleasure of an introduction to Professor Michael, of Baltimore ; Professor Coskry, of the same city; Professor Goelet, of Now York City; Dr. R. H. Lewis, of Raleighj Dr. S. S. Satchwell, of Pender county; Dr. G A. Foote, of Warrentou; Dr. Ennett, of Pender county, Vice President of the Society; Dr. Bahnson, of Salem and others. We listened with much interest to the speaking of Professors Michael and CoBkry; Dr. oatchwell, Dr. Foote and Dr. Lewis, and were highly impressed with their dignified manner, fluency of speech and thorough knowledge of the subjects they were handling. It is evident to our mind that these gentlemen are leaders in medical thought and well advanced in medical progress. In saying this we make no, invidious distinctions, for we have as yet heard but few Bpeak outside of those mentioned. There are about 250 physicians in attendance. We were struck with wonder that every physician of the State who' loves his profession does not attend the annual meetings of the State Medjcal Society. We made inquiry, as a matter of curiosity, as to the status of the mem bers in relation to the gubernatorial contest. We found them about equally divided between Fowle andStedman. . - A IRAVELER.

INTHUelASTU ALLY AND UNANIMOUSLY EN DORSES CLEVELAND AND TARIFF RE FORM OTHER NEWS. Hy Telegraph to tlie News and Observer. Atlanta, May 9. The Georgia Democratic Convention assembled here at noon today and elected Hon iioke v-nitu chairman xne conven tion was enthusiastic ovor President Cleveland's tariff reform message and those Mho held different views con cerning the tariff were promptly over ruled. Sonata" Colquitt is here taking an active part in tho proceed ing?, and at a tonferenco yesterday, which he directed, the whole plan of the convention was agieed apon and has been carried out to the let ter todav. non. Patrick Walsh, present representative of the State Democratic committee was defeated for delegate at large to the St. Louis convention. The dele gates at largo are Hons. Pope Bar row, F. G. Dub gnon, Albert Cox and Washington Dessan. All are hearty advocates of the President's tariff views. Each of the ten districts chose two delega es and the issue was made squarely on the tariff. Every delegate chosen is for the Mills bill and with the President. The platform adopted when first read re affirmed the national platforms of 1876, '80 and '84, but this was stricken out and in its place was sub mitted an endorsement of the Presi dent's position on the tariff. A strong effort was made to secure harmony by the recognition of an element in the party which stood on the plat form of 1884, but it failed. Col. Walsh, speaVing for that ele ment, said not a Democrat objected to the President's renominatioo, but all favored it. They yielded their opinion to the will of the majority, and all good Democrats would stand on the platform whatever it might be. He offered a resolution. of which the following is the chief feature : ' "We demand of our Senators and Representatives in Congress s'rict compliance with the pledges of the party. We demand a reduction of the revenues of tbe-gerernment and a revision of ouf tariff and internal revenue laws in Such a spirit of fair ness that no material interes t of the country shall be injured, but that all our industries ana interests, whether of farm, mine, jshop, forest or fac tory shall be alike benefited by that revision,; and that the reduc tion shall take effect upon the neces saries of life. We declare it the first duty of Democrats to unite in the re nomination of President Cleveland, whose administration has won the respect and confidence of all peo ple irrespective f party."
