Wahhihoton, D. C, Aug. 6 Stiits.
In tiie Chaplain's opening priyr
there Wall an indirect but feeling Illu
sion to the death of Gen. riher;dah. :
As, soon as the reading of the jour
nal was concluded, Mr. Edmunds feme
and said p
t I ask unanimous consent to ofifer at
this time a resolution on a Bulsjept
which every Senator will understkn.
Hetploetl, Xhar. the Senate fhas
learned, with profound regret, of' the
death I of Philip H. Sheridan, late
General of the armies of the United
States, :
RisQloed, That the Senate hereby
expresses iwa great sense of his great
and patriotic services in the cause of
his country, its deep Beusibility qt
the Iocs 'Which the cation has sus
tained in his death ard its sympthy
with lus family in their bereaveuieut-
Resolved, That a copy of theserea
olutions be forwarded to the familj
of the deceased. ?
Consent having been given, pTr.
Edmunds said: ' j
It is quite unnecessary for any Sna'
tor to submit any observation in Sup
port of these resolutions. The career'
of General Sheridan has been so con
spicuous, so grand, so noble, aod so
patriotic that any words which I cqpld
use in respect tf his merit or praise
of hid1 career would be like gildingt re
finedgold or painting the lily I
therefore; for my part, leave theta to
the judgment of the Senate without
any farther observations. f
The resolutions were adopted unan
imously.- . ? ;

by Mr Farwell and referred to ih
committed on pensions, granting a
pension of $5,000 a year to Mrs. Sfcaatf-
ldan. ; I.' ' ' $ -
Mr.. Blair introduced the following
joint resolution, which was referred
to the committee on foreign relations:
llcswoed, That ihe Pres. dent be
requested to open negotiations, with
the government ol ller jjritannis
Majasty (in which the Dominion-of
Canada and its several political BubdU
visions shall be represented; with a
view to the settlement of all differ
ences between Her Majesty's govern
ment and the United States, and p
pecially to the arrangement of terins
mutually just, honorable and satisfactory-
for a political union between
the JJonoinion of Canada (or between
all of the several provinces or subdi
visions of the Dominion of Canada)
and the United States, subject to tKp
approval of the people of the Domin
ion of panada (or of the people of
any province or subdivision thereof
who may be included in such ar
rangements) and to the ratification
by the United States in Such a man
ner aa Congress may prescribe: such
political union to be Republican in
form aid in aocord with the Federal
system and constitution of the Lot
ted Stales, And the negotiations may
embrace such further treaties,
compacts and alliances as shall
be deemed necessary for the peace,
happiness, security and general wel
fare of Her Majesty's dominions and
of the United States.
Mrjfones, of Arkansas, offered a
resolution instructing the committee
on finance to inquire into the fact of the
allegedjcombination or poolof the pro
ducers! of bagging; what companies
and individuals comprise such pool;
their methods of combination; the
effect of such pool on the price of tfce
article etc He spoke of the tax or 3
cents per pound on cotton baggi&g
as costing the cotton producers of tLe
oountry $1,1500,000, and said that
some few days ago the price had bef n
raised (under, the operations of-the
pool and without the slightest reason)
from 7 cents a pound to 11? cents
He suggested the entir removal if
the existing duty on cotton bagging.
The resolution was, at the suggj&s-
tion of :Mr. Edmunds, who said-fee
sympathized with it, laid over till fo
morrow-
MrJ;Edmunds, from the 'judiciary
committee, reported favorably and the
Senate i passed the Senate bill to re
move tie political disabilities of Win.
L. Rradfotd, late an officer of the
United! States Navy.
The Senate then resumed consider
ation of the fisheries treaty in open
executive session and was addressed
by M liVahce in favor of its ratifica
tion. He accounted for the remarka
ble heat exhibited by the Itepublic&hs
against the treaty by telling a stpfy
of a fellow in N)rth Carolina whoiwhs
once sjagbt wilh an extra "Jack'J in
his sleeve when playing the game bf
'Old sledge, and who, in reply to a
fierce denunciation from his adversary,
said : ' i . ;J
"Billjyou know we were six-and-pik"
and it was your deal, and I ;'w'aa
obliged to do something." 'Soj"
said he, ''the Presidential election s
coming on and the Republican party,
wmcn Qesires uiiue uiuio tu get, mu
power, j ana whose cuiei oyts;;tie
flesh pots of Kgypt, know$ that the
game stood about 'six and-six' ;aad
that the deal was ourB and that jhey
were obliged, to do something.:' AH
at once) it seemed as if -while they
were journeying toward Damascus a
great light shone about them, and a
voice was neara. : ? " .
Let me not be considered profane.'
do not intimate that that light or
that Voice was from heaven. :; Far
from it I should rather suppose it
to hays come from the Antipodes pt
that blessed region, but at all events
that light shone round about these
Senators ana mat voico was qeara
sayingj "Why will you not rajBea
row against Ureal Urrtain anq get
the Inshv vote." Whereupon ithey
promptly reaponded, "Lord, hat
wouldst thou have us to do '." aul tie
voice again said, Get thee tof; the
place called caucus, and there it ahll
be told thee what to do " And So
they assembled in that upper cham
ber, ' and there the voiced wjas
again made manifest, and -thy
were 1 told that the r -only
cbanoe, "the ouly avenue opened
up under heaven whereby they might
b saved" was to raise a row with
Great Britain, appeal to the Irish vote
in this country and to the votes of all
others whose prejudices against that
country can be made available in the
coming campaign, and that was the
course adopted.
The conversion of thOBe Senators
under that vision and the influence of
that voice was the most remarkab!
that; was ever known in American
politics. Dignified and staid Sen
ators, whose convictions in re
gard to the propriety of se
cret' sessions for the consideration
of j the treaties were so ingrained turn
it had seemed impossible for any hu
man consideration to change them,
changed them without apology, with
out preface, merely on the call of the
yeas and nays, and so quickly that the
seat of' that portion of a human gar
ment which cannot be mentioned i u
public was actually left in front.
They whirled right round and now
we present to the world this specta
cle of considering the treaty, not in a
dignified way, not in a way respectful
to the great power with, which we
treat, nor in a way considerate of the
great interests of the sixty mil
lions of people for whom we
treat; -not in a way consistent
with the dignity of this great and
mighty nation, but as though the is
sue was to be decided by a ward pri
mary. Mr. Vance quoted at consid
erable length from a newspaper inter
view, with Mr. Frye to the effect that
the American fishermen require noth
ing at the hands of the Canadians,
and said, If that be so, what is all this
fuss about ? "Why do the heathen
rage and desire the people to imagine I
a vain thinerl" He also quoted Mr
Frye as Baying in that interview that
the remedy was a duty on fish and a
higher duty on salt fish, and com
mented on it by saying : "And so we
may ask, as a solution of this whole
question, What percentage will satisfy
youT (How much higher duty on salt
hsh and how much duty on free nshT
There are some offenses against the
dignity of nations that can be as
Bebsed, in cash and there are -some
that cannot. You heard the Senator
from Maine (Mr. Frye) describe 'In
words that burn' tbe tearing down of
the American flag by Capt. Qaigly,
of the Canadian cruiser, and you
heVrd him taunt the Senator from
Ohio (Mr. Paine), shaking his fist in
his face and telling him that he was
apologising for a man who tore down
his country's flag. You heard all
that. ! It created a ripple in
the gallery.: I thought I could
already hear the shouts of columns
marching with swords gleaming in the
aij: and banners floating in the breeze.
arid cpuld smell the powder burned
to avejnge the American flag. But the
wounded honor of that Senator could
D0t be amply atoned for by a .little
41IUU WlUfcjr Uil DUb lOLL BUU Ci UUtJ
on fresh fish. It is not assessable.
All of the eloquence on this subject
must be understood in a Pickwickian
Bensel It must be all understood as
what lawyers term a 'matter of in
ducement,' that is an order to make
the British government pay higher
damages if possible. A duty on fresh fish
and a higher duty on salt fish will be
the salve that will restore our wound.
Mr. Vance went on to describe the
condition of, the poor people along
the coast Of j Nova Scotia and New
foundland, whose only source of sup
port was the fish in their bays and
who found themselves deprived of
that by Yankee fishermen, and said
that there was not a citizen of New
England who, if the conditions were
reversed, would not find a hundred
methods of repelling the Canadian fish
ermen from trespassing on their rights.
fjAs; to the pretension that deep
water fisheries were the nursery of
American seamen, he said that that
wis an old mouldy chestnut, as the
reports showed that more than fifty
per cent, of the men employed on the
Gloucester and other New England
fishing vessels were unnaturalized
Americans, and he quoted from ex
tracts and correspondence in the Bos
ton Post, Boston Hersld and Boston
Transcript, and from resolutions of
the Gloucester Knights of Labor' to
proves that fact. Bluster, he said,
could: not : do any good. The
proposition to whip Great Bri'ain,
sd glibly talked about by Senators,
wis not going to aid the settlement
of the fishery question, although it
uiifiht cet some votes of those who
-cohld be controlled by such appeals
The spectacle presented was a mel
aueholy 'one It had been claimed
fp the: Senate of the United States
that it' was I one of the ablest and
most dignified assemblages on earth
The present exhibition would not
bear out that high pretension. It
proved the fact that Senators were j
created of the same clay as other
men and that, in the language of the
Widow; Bedott, Senators and Repre
sentative and what not; were all "poor
critters." He was sorry to see it so.
He had not desired to speak on the
question , but when he saw that it had
come to be a mere political contest, a
mere small-beer question, like 'any
other that might be broached on the
eve of an election, he felt that he could
not be satisfied unless he denounced
that method of treating such a sub
ject! I
No other Senator sought the floor
when Mr. Vance took his seat, but
Mr. I Morgan intimated his under
standing that several other Senators
did desire to speuk on the subject of
the treaty.
The president's message announc
ing the death of Gen. Sheridan hav
ing ; been presented and read, Mr.
Uawley rose and said : "Nothing that
I can say, Mr- l 'resident, is needed to
set forth the loss which the country
has sustained by the death of that
able, brilliant, magnificent soldier
and beloved general, Phil. H. Sheii
dan.i r have just heard of the course
taken by the House, and 1 now send
to tbe desk a resolution for which I
ask immediate consideration."
Iteaoloed, lliat the chair is r
quested to appoint a oommittee of
seven Senators to attend the funeral
services of the late Gen. Sheridan.
Tbe resolution was adopted, and
Senators Hawley, Manderson, Oul
lonjl Stewart, Hampton, Gibson and
Gray were appointed.
The Senate at 1.55 adjourned till
tomorrow at 11 a. m.
nocsx.
In his opening prayer this morning
the Chaplain said : Oh,, eternal God;
with the nation we stand awe-stricken
today. By startling intelligence we
learn that the illustrious career of
the general of the army is ended. The
brilliant story of his achievements is
written in the annals of the country
and he has gone to the better of his
tory. We commend to thy Almighty
protection and fa herbod the wife
who has been widowud aud the chil
dren who huve hwq tul fatherless."
The House adjourned as a mark of
resjbeo. to the memory of Gn Sher
idah. :
jjjr. y i i er, of Missouri, moved to
suspend 'he rules and adopt the res
olutioh making the Otii -.ua hi the
special order for a final vote on that
dav. '
jEeading the vote a uici-cwge was
received from the Pres deit announc
ing the death of General Philip H
Shefidan. Mr, Wheeler, of Alabama, said this
was the third time in the history of
the' Government that the Presideot
has' announced the death of 'he cord
madder of the armies of the United
Stajps. He had prepared solutions
appropriate to the occasion, but he
was informed that the military com
mittee had agreed to a seres of reso
lutions and he would therefore refrain
from offering his.
Mr,- Hooker, of Missiosippi t!:en
asked unanimous consent to offer tbe
following resolutions :
fietolved, That this House has
learned with profound grief of the
death of Gan. P. H. Sheridan, com
mander of the armies of the United
States
Jietoloed, That as a mark of respect
to the memory of the deceased, this
House do now adjourn.
lieiolved, That the Speaker of the
Hottse is directed to transmit a copy
of these resolutions and the assurance
of the sympathy of the House in the
loss which she has sustained, in com
mon with the people of the country.
Resolved, That the;Speaker of the
House appoint a committee of seven
members to confer with a like com
mittee of the Senate, and after con
sultation with the family of the de
ceased, to take such action as may be
appropriate in regard to the public
obsecfuies of Gen. Sheridan.
Mr. Warner, of Missouri, said that,
withdrawing the resolution which he
had: offered, he desired to state to the
House that no business which could
posftibly come before Congress could
induce him to object to consideration
of resolutions such as had been
Offered by the gentleman from Missis
PPL ... .
Air. Hooker then briefly addressed
the House in eulogy - of the deceased
soldier. He had descended from a
race' of people which had given to the
world In the old country and in the
neW the greatest commanders of the
createst doodIo on earth. The career
of ihe distinguished military man
whom these resolutions were designed
to honor, was a mark of the singular
fact in this country that there was no
position within civil or military life
that was not within the reach ol tbe
humblest citizen of the land. Gen.
Sheridan inherited from his
father the fire and spirit
of 'that great Irieh race that
had ao successfully fought the battles
of all countries save its own. At an
early day Gen. Sheridan graduated
from the military academy and was
assigned to duty in the army. He
obtained prominence in the late con
test between the States which gave
him! a position second only to that
of 'the great peader of the Fed
eral j army. This Congress had
a few weeks before his death con
ferred on Gen. Sheridan the distin
guished position of General of the
ArmieB ofthe United States. It had
been held by few persons and was
Considered a mark of honor and re
gard for Gen. Sheridan when he yet
lay - on the bed of sickness which
finally became his couch of death.
The resolutions were designed to
express the universal grief and sor
row of the nation at the death of the
commander of the armies of the Uni
ted States and to express sympathy
with his bereaved family.
Mr. Cutcheon, of Michigan, on be
half; of the military committee,
seconded the resolutions and Mr.
Grosvenor, of Ohio, also seconded
thein on behalf of the people of his
State.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted and the House accordingly
at One o'clock adjourned.

o'clock this morning. The President
had decided to remain at Oak View
during the day, but this news altered
his plans and he decided to coiie into
the city. He reached the Whi e House
about 10.45 o'clock and sent fcr the
Secretary .of War to meet him at the

following executive order was issued :

Major General Schofield, command

that effect was sent him by Ac'ing
Adjutant General Kellogg this after
noon. THE DEATH BED
NoscjuiTr, Mass., August G. -'All
through yesterday General Sheridan
had been in unusually good spirits,
laughing and eha ting w.th hiB broth
ers and members of the family. At
30 Dr. Matthews said the General
was doing so well that there would
probably be no bulletins issued for a
week. After dinner at the hotel Mrs.
Sheridan carried down to the General
large slice of roast beef, which
he ate with appetite and relish.
He dozed off a bit during the after
noon, but awoke at supper and then
went to sleep aain. Unfavorable
ymptoms made their appearance so
unexpectedly anJ were so rapid in
development that! the children were
aroused barely in time to take the
last look at their dying father. With
the General at ihe, death-bed were
Mrs. Sheridan, Mary, Louise, Irene
and Philip, the Johildren; Col. Sheri
dan, his 'brother, with his wife and
sisters, just in, Jand Doctors O'Reilly
and Matthews. Mr Sheridan and
nurses were on their knees in prayer
as his spirit departed. Mrs. Kollogg,
a dear friend of jthe family, arrived
ust the moment after the last breath
was drawn and assisted Mrs Sheri
dan to her feet when she 'closed the
eyes of the deceased.
At I a. m. the Quiualuuers svore put
in possession of the body. Up to a
ate hour nothing had boe:i decided
as to the place of; interment but it is
thought it may b taken to Illinois,
where tbe deneral had a family lot
and where his mother is buried.
THE IfUNERAL.
W'ashinoton, Aug. 6 - ihe Presi
dent has directed Major Genera!
Schofield to take; charge of tho mili
tary arrangements for the funeral of
Ueneral Sheridan and to consult Mrs.
Sheridan's wishes ;on the sutj3ct. He
countermanded the previous order
for General Schofield to come to
Washington,and he will go to Nonquitt
instead. Col. Lamont says another
order will be issued closing the Ex
ecutive Departments on the day of
tho funeral. The President sent the
following message? to Congress at 12
o clock :
'ExEcpTivE Mansion,
'Washington, Aug, G, 1888.
'To the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives :
"It becomes my painful duty to
announce to the vJongress and the
people of the United States the death
of Philip H. Sheridan, General of the
Army, which occurred at a late hour
last night at his summer home iu the
State of Massachusetts, lno death
of this valiant soldier and patriotic
son of our republic, though his long
illness has been regarded with
anxiety, has, nevertheless, shocked the
country and caused universal grief.
He had established for himself a
strong hold in the hearts of his fellow-countrymen,
who soon caught
the true meaning and purpose of his
soldierly devotion and heroic temper.
His intrepid courage, his Bteadast
patriotism and the generosity of his
uature inspired with a peculiar warmth
the good will of all people. Above
his grave affaction for the man und
pride in his achievements will struggle
for the'mastery, and too much honor
cannot be giveu to one who was so
richly endowed-with all the qual ties
which make his death a national lots.

this morning substantially a -ranged

i vices will be held in S-. Matthew's
Church as soon as cosaible thereafter.
either Thursday or Friday. The work
of embalming the General's body was
begun at an early hour this morning.
Gen. Sheridan has repeatedly ex
pressed a strong dislike of display in
funerals, and in accordance with his
wishes and those of Mrs. Sheridan,
the ceremonies in Washington are to
be as simple as possible. The funeral,
however, will Of course be a military
one. The interment will be
made at Arlington Military Cem
etery, near Washington, Saturday,
if assurance can be obtained
that his wife and children may be
given a resting place beside him.
The messages of condolence to Mrs.
Sheridan are arriving at Nonquitt this
morning from all parts, of the coun
try. They are forwarded by telephone
from New Bedford, the nearest tele
graph station. Mrs. Sheridan bears
up with great self control, bat is ter
nbly grief-stricken, the shock having
been intensified by reason of the
cheering reports and the apparently
crieerlul outiook of the last few days
It id learned today that although the
symptoms of renewed heart failure
began some forty minutes before the
General's death, and although no pos
sible exertion was spared to
bring him out of it by vigorous
application of all known remediea,
the General s condition was appa
rently not more dangerous than it
had been on a number of former oc
casions wnen tre remedies accom-
pnsneu ineir purpose., ino injec
tions of d gita'is, the applications of
mustard plaste s, the use of ammonia
and the repeated application of a
powerful galvanic batterv were em
ployed last night, but all proved un
availing, even to arouse the General
from ' the state of complete mental
unconsciousness into which he fell
soon after ihe first symptoms of the
recurriDg heart failure and in which ho
remained till he drew his last breath.

Cotton seed meal may be fed
with safety to ho; bps and mules with
other food. This cotten Beed meal
should, of course, be decorticated,
and than four pounds is quite safe to
foed with twelve pounds of corn
meal. Such highlyjconcentrated food
as corn meal and cotton seed meal
should never be fed alone to a horse
It then goes into the stomach iu the
solid, plastic form of the housewife's
dough, and cannot bo properly acted
npou by the ga trie juice. But when
mixed with cut hay, the hay separates
the particles of meal, and leaves the
food in a porous condition, so that the
digesting fluid cancircolate through,
aud come in contact with the whole
moss at once. When fed in this way
it will never produce colic A small
amount of decor(itated cotton seed
might be fed in the same way, but
tliM oil is in too large proportion in
the whole seed to feed more than two
or three pounds per day. Live Stock

Cairo, 111., August 6. A wind and
rain storm prevailed here nearly an
hour, which did considerable damage
in the city and on the river. The wind
blew at the rate of sixty miles per
hour for ten minutes and the rain fell
in torrents. Hundreds of heavy trees
wereblown down in all parts of the
city, and fences, signs and awnings
were strewn all along the walks. The
roof of the engine room of the Cairo
elevator was destroyed, and two
warehouses were blown down entire
in the upper part of the city. Great
damage was done on the river. A
barg of coal, containing 16,000
bushels, belonging to the Browns of
Pittsburgh was broken in two and
sunk in three fathoms of water. One
of the machinery boats used in sink
ing easing for a bridge over the Ohio
here was wrenched from its moorings
and its side torn, but was prevented
from going down by good work on
the part of those in barge.

About seven miles from Oxford
lived Henry C. Adcock and wife,
Eliza Ann Adcock, while his brother,
John W. Adcock, and his wife, Jen
nie C. Adcock, lived about half
mile, in a thinly settled neighborhood
For several months Henry C. had
pretty much deserted home and taken
up at his brother's on account of an
infatuation (or they call it in those
parts "cungering "),' and about which
he and his brother John had had
several fights. On the 31st of July
Eliza Ann, wife of John W., died
suddenly, and as no neighbors
were called in to help shrowd her.etc ,
suspicion was aroused, and Coroner
J. J. Renn was sent for on the 1st
inst. He took alone with him Dr. J.
B. William", arrested the parties
above named ami summoned a jury
of inquest.
Upon analv8is of the stomach arse
nic was found, upon which fact, to
gether with admissions of the parties,
ihe jury brought in a verdict of guilty
against Henry C. and Jennie C. Ad
cock. Both parties are in the meri
dian of life, Henry C. having eight
children and his paramour two, the
youngest about ten years of age.
Deputy Sheriff .Pollard and police
officer Rogers brought the party to
Oxford and lodged them in iail,
where rumor says they have made
further criminating conVessions, and
an officer has been sent to bring the

The Young Men's Democratic Club
of Scotland Neck, previous to last
Thursday night, had invited Hon. T.
W. Mason and Don Gillam, Esq., to
address them on the above nkrht.
which was their regular meeting
m'ght. Very much to the regret of
the club they were unable to be pres
ent, one of the gentlemen being de
tained at home on account of sickness,
the other being professionally en
gaged. The club met promptly in
full strength, with a nice audience
from the town and county. After
dispensing with what business was
before the clerk, Mi. E. E. Hilliard,
one of our rising young w a and edi
tor of the Scotland Neck Democrat,
came forward and made a short but
most interesting and instructive ad
dress. Hon. W. H. Kitchin being
present, was then called out by
voices in all parts of the house.
He came forward and in his most elo
quent manner entertained tka aadi
ence for an hour and a half. Capt.
Kitchin was in good trim and did
himself justice. JV.r sprch was
highly complimcued. .'-Jr. W. A.
Dunn being called upon stated that
as the hour was very late and tbe
night very warm, he would only de
tain tne audience lor nve or ten min
utes. He then spoke in his usual
fine way, showing that he bids fair to
become one of our best speakers. He
is sound and level-headed, and gives
tbe rads Jesse wherever he touches
them. J

The advertisement of the rb.1 at

aney and Munson paper mil' lonat.!
at Unionville, Ci , which I havo asked ,
you to insert in your columns for the"
next two weeks is, I fear, but the fore
runner of many similar advertisement
which are to appear- in New England
papers, if Our Republican friends in
Congress continue the policy of taxing
on juiKittuu luuusiries ojft or exist-'
ence. We are taxed outwood-Tnlo'
taxed on jute, taxed on lumber, laxtd
on coal, taxeM on chemicals. We are
shut out of our harbors, which ar
the natural sources of the Bunnli for
New England factories, and com
pelled by law to satify our wants from
Pennsylvania and tho West: and wa
are compelled to pay 20 per cent, SO
per cent and 100 per cent, sometime,
advance for the materials we need
more than we would be obliged to
pay except for oar m called protec
tive tariff. As a natural result, we
have New England factories for sale
at auction, New England towns' aban
doned. New England men driven from
New England soil. Now if there aie
any of our so-called protectionist
friends who will take these ruined
properties off our hands at two thirds
or even one half their value, we should
be glad to make their acquaintance.
