The death of General Hancock was not a sur prise to li:s family. It was a shock to them, as to his friends. Twenty days ago he started on bQsinww counected with the Department of the Atlantic to Philadelphia, where he remained two days, and then proceeded to Washington. In Washington a boil developed on the hack of his neck. It wojs lanced on January 30th, and aa the General was much inconvenienced by its presence ha returned to New York several day s sooner than he had designed. THE (' AI'SK OK PKATIT. During the first week of Febra aary the boil developed into a ma lignant carbuncle, which suppurated constantly and prevented rest or sleep. Dr. Janeway was called in attendance, and it wa not an till marked weakness had resulted from tho presence of the carbuncle that t he surgeon discovered that General Hancock was suffering lrom dia betes. Dr. Janeway called in con sultation Dr. Sutherland, medical director of the Department, and Dr. I). M. Stimson, of New York. The medical men concluded Monday that the case was assuming a very serious form. At 10 o'clock Mon day night, before going away. Dr. Janeway found his patient in good spirts and able to assit himself, and he left hiua apparently im proved and in charge of the hospital steward (Robinson'. At (1:i," Tues day morning Mrs. Hancock dis patched an orderly for Dr. Jane way, as he feared the General was j sinking rapidly. The Doctor came speedily and lound the General in a comatose state, with a feeble pulse, and ali premonitory symp toms of death. The Doctor sum moned the two physicians already named. Hypodermic injections of brandy and ether and of carbonate of ammonia and brandv were ad ministered.

February The sad and surprising news of General Hancock's death had been flashed abroad by wire but a little while when messages of condolence tie gan coming to Governor's Island, the headquarters of the Depart ment of the Atlantic. Among the first received were telegrams o! condolence from General I'h. Slier dan, William H. Fuglish. W. T. Sherman, Geueral Martin T. Me Mahou, General Flowl Aspin wall, H. (.'lay Hall; Adam F. King, of Baltimore: General W. Ii. Franklin, ot Hartford; Colonel Hralor, of the Ordinance Depart ment, Baltimore; C. C. Baldwin, and James C. Colt, of Norwich, Conn. ' Mrs. Hancock for scveial weeks past had leen making preparations to go to Florida with the wife of Lieutenant Eugene Griffin, who is a niece of General Hancock. The party was to have lelt the city a week ago' today, but as the Gen-, eral's sickness assumed a threaten ing phase the trip South was given up. No member of the General's household had antiepated a fatal termination of his pre-unt illness until Mrs. Hancock became alarmed this morning. NO At" TOPS Y To D E HAD. It haa been decided that there shall be no autopsy. The hospital, steward has chivge of the remains where they lie in the family room on the second floor, Near the General's bed when he died were scattered many children's toys in the disorder of childish de sertion. The General was unable to speak to or converse with his family or attendants, except in broken tones and scarcely intel ligible terms during the morning. When his wife became exceedingly alarmed at his condition the Gen eral endeavored to address her. and succeeded in calling her by some name that has been one of his own in -addressing his wife. eakkeksioxs i ' k i:r,,i:r.i.

He commanded at 1 t he bloody assaults on ( 'old I Firhor. 1 and did his best to execute Grant's orders. The fighting was desperate, and Hancock's hiss could not have : fallen far short of twelve thousand. He was on the south side of the ..lames river, and made the assaults 'on Petersburg. He was with Sheri dan. ;i ml attacked the Confederates at Deep Bottom. He was at Peters burg and witnessed the explosion ol the mine ou the morning of July doth. The advance up the James river, August 12, 1S!4, was under' his command, and he handled the Second and Tenth corps of the Army of the James and Gregg's division of cavalry with such con summate skill as to elicit expres sions of admiration from even Gen eral Grant. He fonght the battle of Keams's Station, August 25th, and had his horse shot under him. He also fought I he battle of Boyd ton Poad. For his services during the war he was appointed a brigadier and afterwards a major general in the regular army, ami was assigued to command of the Middle Depart ment. In ISM lie took command of the Department of Missouri and conducted two campaigns against j hostile Indians, taking the field in person at the head of 1.500 men of all arms. In ISG7 he was sent by the Presi dent to New Orleans to command the States of Texas and Louisiana. It was in this field of labor that he i distinguished himself by setting the i example of an officer of the army with extraoidinary powers, streuu-, ously insisting upon the entire sub ordination of civil to military au thority in time of peace. Among the military commanders during the reconstruction period he was con spicuous in this regard, and the1 positions then laid down in his general order and correspondence did more, perhaps, than auything else to make him the ideal soldier in the minds of constitutional Dem ocrats. In 18G8 he was relieved at ! his own request, and in 18G9, '70, ' 71 , and '72 commanded the Depart-; ment of Dakota, Since then he. has commanded the Military Divi sion of the Atlantic, composed of the Department ot the Lakes, the Department of the Fast, and De partment of Washington. with head quarters at Governor's Island, New York. General Hancock was an ardent Democrat, ami was favorably men tioned in FsGs and 1S72 as a candi date for the -residency. In FS0 he received in the Cincinnati Conven tion the nomination for that high ofiiee at the hands of the Democ racy. Geiieial Hancock, in personal ap pearance, was tall, well-formed, and very handsome. His height was not less than six feet two inches, and weight fully 210 pounds. His form towered above other men, and he attracted attention by his mere looks wherever he appeared. His eyes were blue ami had a benignant ami tut Id expression hen m re pose. His manner was dignified and knightb, and he was courtesv No Fni.'u geiu-ral he'd a uannei jaaoe in the hearts of the Southern people. He gamed their respect li iiing the war.

Mr. K-as-is's resoluti n and its i-ubj-ct were entirely I -: -:ht f in the .ivbattf which followed. Mr. So.erman liad made the st atement that any citizen had ' a rit;ht to go to the Su b-Treat-u ry with his silver dollars and receive certificates for them, and that it was not riht Fir the government to refuse to ejve that accommodation. Mr. Morrill asked, jocularly: "Can he ask for their reasons if thev refuser '' This was greete l with laughter, but Mr. Sh?rman immediat. lv precipitated the debate notwithstanding the absence of Mr. Edmunds, who has a large inter est in the questim Mr Edmunds, however, has frequently maiutained that the question at issue was merely a moot question and not a practical oue. Mr. Sherman spoke at great length and with much vehemency. His main point was the broad assertion tiiat the Senate 1 had a right to call for and to receive from the President all documents upon the Government riles. That it may not ask him in terms to give his reason for any of bis acts, but that it has a right to ask and receive all documents whether they bear upon removals or ap pointments. The Senate, he maintained. , was not obliged to give reasons to any- , body for what purpose it wished papers, but it had a right to possess the same sources of information possessed by the President to do with as it pleased. Messrs. Pugh. Saulsbury and Morgan com batted Mr. Suerman's proposition and upheld the view expressed in Mr. Pugh 's resolution Some days ago. Mr. Pugh began by stating that Mr. Sher man's speech was wholly irrelevent to the resolution before the tsenate. He then restated his proposition that the matter of removal from office was wholly apart from that of appointment, i and in the former case the President was wholly independent of the Senate.

The re.-ponse of the Secre tary of the Treasury to the Bland reso lution, respecting the silver balance and circulation, was laid before the House today and referred. Tne Secretary says he will, with all due diligence, make a full answer to the resolution. A communication from the Secretary of the Treasury was laid before the House, showing that during the fiscal year ended June GO, 1S?5. --?4.. 575,702.75 were applied to the sinking fund. Mr. Hammond tGa ), from the Judi ciary Committee, submitted a report on the subpona duces tecum. issued against the clerk of the .House by the Supreme F'ourt of the District of Columbia. The report declares that no evidence of a documentary character in the posses sion of the House can be taken there from by any ordinary court of judg ment. It authorizes the clerk to ap , pear, but not to take the book named ' in the subpoena. It grants permission for the officers of the court to take copies oi any House document desired. After considerable debate the bill was laid aside and the House went into the Committee of the Whole (Mr. Ham mand, Ga., in the chair) on the half gallon tax bill. Messrs. Findley (Md.), and Warner 'Ohio), took advantage of the oppor tunity afforded and made speeches on the silver question. Mr. Findley opposed the coinage of silver, and Mr. Warner argued in favor of his compromise plan, providing for issuance of silver certifi cates based on silver bullion. At the conclusion of Mr. Warner's remarks the House, at 5 p. m., adjourned. Senate Feb. 10. The Chair laid be fore the Senate Mr. Riddleberger's reso lution offered yesterday, directing the Committee on Public Buildings to re port to the Senate the aggregate amount of money recommended by that com mittee, at this session, to be expended by the Government. Mr. Riddleberger said he had no ob jection to any specific measure reported by the committee, but he objected to these "omnibus"' schemes by which twenty-nine public building appropria tion bills on the calendar were taken up ana passed yesterday, without any writ- ) ten report to show the necessity for the j buildings, and by which nine other j similar bills, that had only just been ! reported, were put through on the same j day on which they were reported, witn out giving time for their consideratiou. The resolution was agreed to. Mr. Hoar offered the following reso lution, for which he asked immediate consideration: i Resolved. That the Committeee on Library consider and report at an early day the expediency of the erection at the seat of government of a statue or monument to the late illustrious soldier, General Winfield Scott Hancock. In offering the resolution, Mr. Hoar said that when the announcement was made) yesterday of the great public calamity that had occurred in the death of the illustrious citizen named in the resolution, the Senate, very properly followed all precedents in late cases, and what Mr. Hoar was sure would have been in accordance with the desire of the distinguished deceased; that is to say. the Senate proceeded with public business: but it was proper that proceed ings should at once be initiated for pay ing fitting tribute to the memory of the deceased. The resolution was agreed to. On motion of Mr. Call, the Senate took up Mr. Eustis' recent resolution calling on the Secretary of the Treasury for in formation as to the refusal of the Assist ant Treasurer at New Orleans to receive shipments of silver and to issua silver certificates therefor. Mr. Call, while not objecting to the resolution, defended the action of the Treasury officials in the matter referred to. He also de fended the ord er is6c ed by the Treasurer to the Assistant Treasurer at New Or leans, to the effect that that officer should not receive or receipt for more silver money in one day than the cleri cal force could count on thatday. Any other order, Mr. Call said, would lead to loss by the Government. He had been informed by the Treasurer that in one case the Government had been held responsible for a discrepancy of S25.000, growing out of the fact that receipts had been given for money "to be counted." The resolution was discussed by Messrs. Coke. Beck, Tsller and George. Mr. Eustis said he had telegraphed Mr. Roach at New Orleans to ascertain the purpose of the bank shipments of silver. His reply, today received, was as follows: "Shippers sought to get rid of excessive silver by shipping to 'the sub-treasury and asking that silver cer tificates tnerefore should be turned over to their New Orleans correspondents. The sub-treasurer declined to receive from the express company, because, first, he doubted the propriety of the treasury becoming the intermediary be tween country and city banks: second, i for the lack of clerical force. I feel as- I sured that provisions for sufficient clerks ' would remedy everything. 1 Signed "T. T. Roach." Mr. Coke said that Mr. George's legal argument might be correct, so far as the : technical point involved was concerned : j but there could be no doubt that the . spirit of the law cf lc73 requiring the j issue of silver certificates in certain casts had been defeated by the Assistant Treasurer at New Orleans. Mr. Edmuds inquired why the Ad- , ministration did not turn out this lie- j publican and put in a Democrat, who ' would understand bis duties under the law'.- ; Mr. Coke Is he a Republican? Mr. Edmunds I do not know. I suppose if he is as bad as that, he must be. Mr. Coke said he did not care what the man's politics were. Mr. Edmunds repeated his inquiry as to the politics of the Assistant Treasurer at New- Orleans whether he w as an old officer or some new man't Mr. Gibson replied that the officer th.it was referred to had been appointed by the present Administration. Well," remarked Mr. Edmunds, in regretful tones, "it is a very bad state of things." ' Laughter. Debate then closed and the matter w.-nt over. An executive s-ssion was hel l and the S-.-nate adjourned. H"l'.-Fi. Mr. Blanchard. of L u isiana. i offered the following series of resoiu- Kesolvt 1.

Win.. i v. a id Hi,- Nor;;i Carolina OAstcr ih'ds !lie Sioinatopods. The North Carolina Legislature has this winter employed Lieut. Winslow, U. S. N. . who is well known for his sur veys of the oyster beds of Tangier sound, to make a survey of the oyster area of the State. in order to ascertain what oys ter ground is suitable fo- tho private cultivation of oysters. In a letter to Dr. Wm. K. Brooks, of Johns Hopkins Uni versity, he says he has finished his held work for the winter. At the request of the Governor of North Carolina, the trustees of the JohnB Hopkins University placed the outfit of the Beaufort marine labratory at the service of Lieut, Wdns low , and his surveys have been made in j the steam launch belonging to the laboratory. THE CHALLENGER STOMATOPODS. Dr. Wm K. Brooks, of Johns Hopkins Cniyersity, has just finished and is cor recting the proofs of his reDort to the British government of the stomatopodi collected by the Challenger expedition. The work has occupied much of his time for nearly three years. The sixteen quarto plates which illustrates the report are being prepared by Hoen & Co., of Baltimore, as the proofs which they submitted compared favorably with the plates which had been prepared for a series of reports by the best lithograph ers of England and Germany. The stomatopods are a group of marine Crustacea which are quite widely dis- triDutea over tne waters of the tropical ocean. One species is found occasion ally in the Chesapeake bay, and the re ports contain an account of the habits and development of species found at ceaurort, jn. u., although chiefly based on the material found by the Challenger expedition, sent out by the British gov ernment to investigate the life of the ocean. During the cruise, wnich lasted sev eral years, they visated all parts of the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian and Arctic oceans, and made very rich collections of all groups of marine animals. After their return these valuable collections were distributed among naturalists in all parts of the world, who have pre pared reports on them, which are now in course of publication in a series of illustrated quarto volumes. Three of the reports are by American naturalits; one by Alex. Agassiz, one, by Theodore Lyman, of Boston, and one by Dr. Brooks, of Bal timore. In consideration of Dr. Brooks' work the British government has pre sented the John Hopkins University with a full set of all the reports, and the volumes so far published, are all at the University. TESTIM0KY OF BLOOD. In connection with the mysterious dis appearance of P. H. Haviland, the Montgomery county (Md.) farmer, Mr. John L. Pyormann writes to TTie Sun from Arcachon, (Gironde,) France, to inquire if blood stains, found near where Mr. Haviland, who is supposed to have been murdered, could not be identified as human blood, and thus narrow down some of the supositions as to bis fate, Dr. William K. Brooks, of the Johns Hopkins University, says: "While the blood corpuscles of the mammalia differ somewhat in size, and occasionally in shape, yet the differen ces are so slight and the range of varia tion so great, and the possibility of error in measuring such small objects so con siderable, that it is absolutely impossi ble to state with certainty from micro scopic observation that a given speci men is or is not human blood. It might be possible to say that a given specimen was from one of two animals rather than from the other." Baltimore Sun. Sixteenth Annual Session Grand Lodge k. of r. At lo o'clock yesterday morning the Grand Lodge K. of P. assembled in the castle hall of Centre Lodge, No. 3, the following officers being present: J. C. Brewster, G. C. ;W.T.Hollowell,G.V.C; W. L. Jewett, G. P.; R. T. Scanlin,G.M. C: John L Dudlev, G. K. R. S.: J. McK. Woodward, G. V. C; E. M. Pavie, G. I. G. ; W. A. Johnson, G. O. G. The morning seEsion was occupied in conferring the Grand Lodge rank upon several Past Chancellors applying for membership in the Grand Lodge. At the afternoon session the annual reports of the grand officers were read and adopted. The Grand Chancellor reported the order in a healthy condi tion, both in numbers and finances. A new lodge.No. 30, was organized during the year 1SS5, at Elizabeth City. The G. K. R. S. reported a gain in member ship and the high character of the men composing the order in this State. The Grand Lodge owes no bills and has over S700 in the exchequer. The personnel of the Grand Lodge is very fine and reflects credit and honor upon the noble order which it repre sents. EVENING SESSION The special committees submitted their reports, and some discussions of a very entertaining nature were had upon the various matters presented to the body. A short time was spent in hear ing brief reports from each lodge in the State, upon a call of the roll. A variety of suggestions were offered by the j speakers, and much important informa- i tion was exchanged, which will be ben-1 eficial to each worker in the order. These brief, informal reports gave a fair insight into the condition of the order in the State, and the status and condition 1 were found to be very satisfactory. The reports from the ' county lodges" were particularly gratifying, showing a sub stantial zeal in carrying forward the ' principles of friendship, charity and benevolence upon which this order is founded. The election of officers for the ensu ing year resulted as follows: S. C. White, G. C. : Nathan O'Berry, G. V. C. : W. L. Jewett, G. P.; John L. Dudlev, i G. K. R. S.: R. T. Scanlin, G. M. E. ; C. D.

Mr. Glover raised last year 252 bushels of clover seed, which he sold for $ot25 per bushel or $1 .428. At the same time he made 87 tons of clover hay, which he sold at S13 a ton, or $1,131, giving a grand total of $2,559, all the product of only sixty acres Df land. This is a good deal better than going West Many have been the messages of con dolence sent Mrs. W. S. Hancock in the sad bereavement of the loss of her hus band. The death of Gen. Hancock ex cites regret throughout the country. His military services in both the Mexican, and civil war were of a distinguished character. During the most trying periods of the late war he never - forgot the principles of humanity and the re spect for the rights of non-combatants which other generals won popularity by ignoring. He was known as a hard fighter but at the same time a kind gen tleman. The Norfolk Virginian gives the death of Col. A. J. Harrell, in that city, for merly of this State: Col. A. J.

The following conversation took place in our little town just before the last election between a farmer or voter and a candidate: Voter I suppose you are a candidate for the Legislature? Candidate Yes, I was nominated by the Democratic convention; but I had much rather it hid been some one else. But I am always willing to serve mv party. Voter I will not vote for no man that is in favor with doing, away with, the fence. Are you a stock-law man? Candidate The very idea; I would leave this United States and go to Texas if such a law was to come to pass, for we lawyers would feel the effect worse than you farmers would. Voter Well, I don't know about that. Candidate I will explain that to you: if you would do way with the feDce law you would do away with three fourths of all the crime. The jail and penitentiary doors would hang open; the lawyers and court officers would have nothing to do. Our courts would only last three days instead of a week. It is so nice to have a full docket to try thejcriminal cases and the civil docket to go over with the promise from the commissioners that we will have an ex tra term. We lawyers would be com pelled to go to farming, if such a law was to pass, and I would rather serve in the Legislature for the next ten years than to stoop to farming. Voter I think farming is the most independent life a man can follow. Candidate I dislike running store accounts equally as bad. Voter I don't run store accounts, I want you to understand. Candidate Let us go have something to drink. What will you have? Voter Whiskey. Candidate 1 will take the same. I will tell you something confidentially if you will use your influence for me on your plantation, among your tenants. I will have that obnoxious school law repealed, for it is not right to tax you with no children to ."send negroes to S3hool. Voter You are talking sense now. Come lets have auotherj drink.
