Washington, August 9. Senate
After the passage of several bills, on
tbo calendar the Senate, at 11 45, p.-u
ceeded to consideration of the flalv -ies
treaty in open executive sesatau,
and Mr.'Evafts resumed his spoeV ,
begun yesterday, against its ratifica
tion. After he had spoken for two htnir-i,
Mr. Evarta yielded the floor tempo
rarily to allow Mr, Hawley to )nlro
dace a Concurrent resolution that the
members of both houses shall attend
the funeral of Gen. Sheridan on Sat
urday next at 10 a. m., and that, as a
further mark of respect to the mem
ory of the deceased, the two houses,
when they adjourn on Friday, shall
adjourn to -meet Monday next. The
resolution Was agreed to, and Mr,
Evarts resumed his argument against
the fisheries treaty. Mr. Evarts con
cluded by saying that he had pre
pared a comment on the terms of the
treaty itself (and, he hoped, not an
unfair one), but he would forbear to
proceed with it; at present.
The pending; question was the reso
lution for postponement till Decern-:
ber next and a critical examination of
the articles of the treaty would more
properly find its place when that reso-
tution was disposed of and when the
treaty itself was before the Senate
for actjon. Mr. Evarts ceased speak-:
ing at half past three and then the'
discussion turning on President7
Grant s mesBoge to the Senate with a
proposed treaty on the same subject
was taken up by Mr. Morgan, who ;
declared that President Grant had on
that occasion given counsel in favor
of the true and wise policy, and no v
spoke from his grave better than any
Senator had done in this discussion.,
Messrs. Frye, Hoar and Bla:r, also
took part in the discussion, which: in
its later stage became principally an '
interchange of left-handed compli
ments between Messrs. Morgan and
Blair. -
The day's discussion came to a
close and the Senate adjourned at
5 50 p. m.
HOUSE.
On notion of Mr. Hooker, a resolu
tion wits adopted directing the Ser-
geant-at-Arms to make such provision
for attending the funeral of the fate
General Sheridan as may be ordered
and adopted by the committee ap
pointed by the House of Representa
tives, i
Mr. Cox, of New York, moved that
when the House adjourn today it be
to meet on Monday next. Lost 49
to 59.
The House then proceeded to the
consideration of the Senate bill in
creasing to $100 a month the pension
of Mrs. Ward B. Burnett. After an
hour and a quarter had been spent in
a vain endeavor to secure a quorum
to vote upon the bill the House post
poned its farther consideration until
Thursday next- I
A message from the Senate an
nounced the passage by that body of
t concurrent resolution declaring that
the members of both houses will, at
tend the funeral of Gen. Sheridan on
Saturday next land that as a mark;' of
respect to the memory of the deceased
when the two houses adjourn on Fri
day, it will be to meet on Monday
next. On motion of Mr. Cox, of New
York, the resolution was concurred in.
The House then went into commit
tee of tho whole on the deficiency
appropriation bill, and discussion of
the French spoliation claims was re
sumed.
Mr. Hooker, of Mississippi, advo
cated the payment of the claims as a
matter of justice to the men whoso
cases had been adjudicated by the
courts of the government s own selec
tionl
Mr. Turner, of Georgia, recalled
the fact that the provision for the
payment of the claims was placed on
the deficiency bill by express direc
tion of the House, although the ma
jority of the: committee on appropria
tions was opposed to it and had made
an able argument against tneir pay
menit, and the further fact that tbe
committee on the judiciary had agreed
to the measure, giving the right or
appeal to the Supreme Court. He
denied the weignt and force or tne
judgment of the Court of Claims
on this subject. The claims had been
referred to the court in order that
their validity might be determined on
tne principles oi municip&i aiuu imoru-
i, '.! - , r. c : i .3
ttonal law of the treaty stipulations
He denied that the court had reached
its decision on these principles. The
court had stated distinctly that the
jurisdiction conferred upon it Was
peculiar and unprecedented, and pat
under the : international law and ;
treaties no liability attached to Ihe
United States, and it took refuge be
hind; tho declaration that by the let
of reference, the political functions
had been devolved upon that tribunal
and that the court was, to a certain
extent, made a substitute for Con
gress in deciding these claims. He
insisted that the court bad departed
from its functions and had trans
gressed the lines of jurisdiction which
Congress had laid down for it, and
instead of making up its judgment
on the lines defined by Congress, it
had taUn- an authority which had
ntver been given it, and attempted to
define the obligation of the govern
ment from a political standpoint ' en
tirely. .

Jersey Cwy, August 9. Conductor
It. E. Mason took charge of the fu
neral traiu from Harlem. At that
place Mayor Rottsh personally visited
the train, and although it was nearly
1 ''clock in' the morning, quite a
crowd had gathered. After leaving
Hailem the crowds at the stations
disappeared almost entirely. At ten
minutes past rive o'clock the special
train rolled in'o the yaid at Harlem
bridge. The tiain was cut in two
here and the cars tracked side by side
on thn Steamer Maryland, whiebwag
to take them to Jersey City. At
Harlem several New Yoik newspaper
men, who had been waiting since mid
night, boarded the train in search of
information. The Maryland steamed
silently by the busy city, exciting
very liitle attention. No notic was
taken of tbe funeral boat st the Navy
Yard or at Governor's Island. From
the decks of the Maryland could be
seen the flags at half mast all over the
city. The boat steamed into the
docks at Jersey City at 7. 35 a. m.,
and the funeral t-aua was hauled ofl'
and made up again. Mrs. Sheridan
bears the fatigue well, having passed
a reasonably comfortable night. She
has hard work to control her emo
tion at times, but she bears
bravely.

The funeral train from this city will

no stops except as may be necessary
for wood aad water. A specit.1 funeral
car had been prepared by New York
people for the reception and transpor
tation of Gen. Sheridan's remains to
Washington, but Col. Blunt refused
to take it, as he desired no change of
the car in which the body repoBed.
The train will reach Washington at
2 30 o'clock It left Jersey City at
8.20.
A wheel mechanic named Smith, in
testing the car-wheeiB of tho funeral
train, was crushed by being thrown
against the pillars of the Maryland.
AT PHILADELPHIA.
Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 9 The
funeral train bearing the remains of
Gen. Sheridan to its last resting
place in Washington passed through
this city just before noon today in an
absolutely quiet manner, and the pas
sage was without a single incident.
The fact that the train did not enter
the regular Btation of the Pennsylva
nia railroad and the entire ignorance
of the people as to where the change
of engines and the inspection oi tne
train would be made, served a good
purpose in giving the family of the
deceased hero and the funeial party
a much desired quiet and an absence
cf demonstration. The train of five
cars in charge of Conductor Branson
passed" German town Junction at 10.40
and reached Gray's Ferry, where a
change of engines and crews was
made, at 11.08. There were not
twenty-five people at the latter place,
which was the only stop, and these
were mostly children. As the train
came to s stand still the guard of
honor stood at paxade rest on the
platforms and inside the car wh ch
contained the casket and it required
but five minutes to make a thorough
inspection of the train and change
the crews The engine, No. 75,
which had brought trie train from
Jersey City was quietly backed
out and engine No. 93 in charge of
Engineer William B. Waterman and
Fireman Jamee Murphy, Jr , was
coupled on. Conductor Charles A
Thompson, assisted by Baggage Mas
ter James W. Colw6ll, Brakeman Mor
rison and Flagman E J war J Peataon,
took charge of the train and in almost
a twinkling it had resumed fits sad
journey. Road Master of Engines Asa
Odenio, who Las been an engineer for
dO years, mounted the cab of engine
93 and will hold the throttle until tho
train reaches Washington, which will
be about 3 o'olock, the run being
ordered to be made in three hours
and forty minutes. Like the crew
which brought the train in to the city
the outgoing crew were selected from
among those who had seen service in
the field with the dead general. Con
ductor Thompson served throughout
the war in the Sixth Army Corps, the
95 th PennsylvauiaYolunteers,and was
with Sheridan daring the Shenandoah
Valley campaign, participating with
him in the battles of Winchester and
Cedar Creek, as well as many others.
Flagman Pearson served' in the Fif th
Corps,l J8th Pennsylvania Volunteers,
and was with Sheridan at Five
Forks and Hatcher's Run and
was also at Appomattox when
Lee surrendered. Baggage Mas
ter Colwell, while he did not see
any army service was Selected for this
occasion by reason of his having
served in a similar capacity when the
romams of Charles bumner were
brought from- Washington on their
way to Boston. Both engines, 75 and
93, were tastefully, though not elabo
rately, decorated with emblems of
mourning, and presented a beautiful,
although sombre, appearance.

Washington, D. C , Aug. 9 A spe
cial train bearing the body of Gfn .
Sheridan aud the funeral party ar
rived at the Baltimore and ' Potomac
station from Notquitt at 3 17 o'olock
this afternoon. It was met by Gen.

Blins and Pitcher, of hia staff, aboard

The; were met by Gen. Rucker and
Miss Rucker, Mrs. Sheridan's father
and sister. They immediately entered
their carriages and were rapidly
driven away. As they left the station
the arti'lery sergeants took the casket
rom the car in which it bad made
the journey from Nonquitt and bore
it to a caisson belonging to the Third
Artillery, which was draped with
flags fesstooned with crape. As the
caisson bearing the body left the
station Troop B, of the Fourth Cav

the procession up Pennsylvania ave
nue to Fifteenth stBeet and St.

caisson in carriages were Gen

the church door it was met by a pro
cession of clergy and sanctuary boys
singing the "Miserere " After the
casket had been placed upon the cat
afalque the preliminary burial servioe
was recited, the choir singing tbe fu
neral hymn. The interior of the
church wa effectively draped, the
feature of the decorations being the
American colors, blended with a som
ber shade of heavy folds of crape.
The fronts of both galleries were cov
ered with large flags, caught up at
intervals with broad bands of black.
Above the entrance on the front
of the organ loft wore a grou
of tegimental and cavalry fUgs fast
ened together by a knot of black,
with black streams. The altar was
heavily draped. The candilabra and
marble figures on either s de ware
draped with black. Two silk Ameri
can flags hung fiom the wall above
the altar. The Cardinal's throno on
the left of the altar was appropriately
covered and the front of the pulpit
was conceals I by heavy black velvet
with deep silver fringe. Space had
been luade in front of the altar by
the removal of four pews on either
side of the main aisle, in the center
of which stands the catafalque, the

Remlnlaccucrs of
D. O. Fowl
Windsor Ledger.
X in an old file of the Farmer and
Mechanic says: In looking over the
records in the court house a few days
ago, iBtnmbled upon some very in
teresting facts. I found that at the
fall term 18G6 for Wake county, His
Hon. Daniel Ci. Fowle, presiding
judge, that Generals Daniel E Sickles
and Thos. Ruger, Jas. Bumford and
Friday Jones were indicted for ob
structing the process of said court. I
also observed on 6aid records a requi
sition from His Honor, the Judge,
upon His Excellency, Governor
Worth, demanding the posse corai
tatus of the county to arret t
these named parties. The facts are
as follows:
At this date the law of North Caro
lina had not altered the punishment
for all persons convicted of larceny.
It was thirty-nine lasheaat tbe public-
whipping post. "A negro was conyict-
ed,and the Judge, in cempliance with
the law, had ordered the sheriff to take
the prisoner to the public whipping
post in the jail yard and inflict upon
him thirty-nine lashes. In obedience
to this order of the court Sheriff Ray
took the prisoner to the whipping
post and commenced operations. Just
as he struck the eighth lick in rushed
General 8 Sickles and Ruger and Maj.
Liumford and - Mr. Friday Jones,
backed by a large crowd, mostly ne
groes, and rescued the prisoner, took
him from the sheriff and carried him
away. The sheriff promptly reported
this outrage to the . court. At this
juncture Hon. Sion H. Rogers, the
Attorney-General, came into court-
Judge Fowle said : '-Mr. Attorney
General, do youknow of any inter
ference on the part of any one with
the sentence of this courtt ' TheAttor-
hey General replied that he had wit
nessetfFthe interference, described its
manner aud form, and named the par
ties.
Judge Fowle immediately said
"Mr. Attorney General, have the
grand jurV brought into court." This
being done, he recited to them the
facts and said: "I direct you,gentlemeu
of the grand jury, to retire to your
room and find bills of indictment
agaltst Daniel E. Sickles and Thomas
Ruger and James liumford, omcers
of the United States army, and Fri
day Jones, colored, a cU 'zen of Wake
county, wbo have, with v - Ince, out
raged the laws of North Carolina."
This was done, and a capias was
issued for the arrest of the parties-
Sheriff Ray proceeded at once to
Gen. Ruger 's headquarters at the
old Palace, and approachii g Gen.
Rucrer, said: "Gen. Ruger, I have
come by order of the Court to arrest
you. here is that order. Gen.
Ruger said : "Do you see those
bayonets? do you see those meiit I
Will not be arrested; if yon hide you
can arrest me proceed at your pleas
ure, and at the risk of your life.
Sheriff Ray appeared in oourt, re
lated the result, and made known his
inability to carry out the order of
said court.
Judge Fowle, when the sheriff had
concluded, said: "Mr. Clerk, take your
pen and write as I shall dictate:
To His Excellency, J. Worth, Gov
ernor of North Carolina:
Eir: The process of this court has
been illegally interfered with and. a
prisoner has been rescued from the
sheriff by Daniel E. Sickles and
Thomas Ruger and James Buford, of
the United States army, and Friday
Jones, colored, late a citizen of Wake
county. I demand that you call out
the whole power of this county to up
hold the honor and integrity of the
laws of North Carolina, and secure
the arrest of these said parties.
(Signed)
Dan'l G. Fowl's, Judge.
This communication was sent at

seemed to him an approaching con
flict between the State and Federal
authority. He, too, loved North Gar
olina. "Sir," he said, ' this will never
