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.- . ? ; r, . f .... . . , ; auDseqaenuy a dui was lDtroaueei 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. ; TOWKD ISTO ST. A1DRKW! Tor Violation of the Fishery Law. By telegraph to the News and Observer.

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.

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.

The Y. M i D. C. of Scotland Keck. Cor. of the News and Observer. 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 Died GaA.

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.
