‘EIII’IORIAII LETTER.
‘ WASHINGTON, Manon 20,1872.
Another week has been substantially
given to. the worse than crime—the blunder-
iug folly—of still further inflating the sale-'
_ of-arms bladder, until the patience of the
nation, as judged by the expressions of the
papers and. thetenor of private letters rc~
ceived at the Capitol, abundantly testify.
Had the Senate been content to have let Mr.
Sumner’s reé01utiou gone at once to a vote
”without debate, (as was done in theJIouse)
the important business of the session would
have been well along and the reputations
and personal comfort of many Senators
greatly conserved.
SENATOR rEnux’S SPEECH
of but five 'minutes, touched the keynote of
the popular sentiment prevailing both here
_ and throughout the country, when he rose
, to favor the amendment made by Senator
Tipton to Conkliug’s resolution to investi-
gate the recommendations made to Office,
under this_adminisrration,~ by Senators from
Illinois, Missouri, New York and Nebraska.
1' quote you from the Globe :—' .
MR. FERRY, of Connecticut. I remarked
’ yesterday that I should favor the amend-
_ ment of the Senator from Nebraska, because
itseemed to me so manifestlyjust,and so man-
ifestly unjust that aresolution pointing to a
few individual Scuutorb upon a subject mat-
ter of this kind should be passed, instead of
embracing the whole body. Up‘on look-
ing at the resolution as it is printed I confess
I am sorry thatit is here all. There 15 no
public interest requiring a report of the
recommendations of the Senators from them-
three States in relation to appointments to
and removals from office. The resolution is
intensely personal in its character, if I may
so designate it, and affects only personal in- y
‘ terests? Now for almost two weeks we have
been spending'the time of the Senate really
in discussing personal interests, for since the
first day of the debate upon the resolution
pending before the Senate on which so much
discnSsion has been had the central point of
interest in that discussion has been the
'question whether General Grantshould be
reuomiuated at the Philadelphia convention
nex’t June ; and, sir, I do not believe there
is a member of this body who ‘was not con-
vinced before the debate began that General
. . Grant will be renominated at the Philadelphia
convention next June; and here we have
been two weeks discussing a question that
was settled when we began l '
Eloquent orations. and demagogical ha-
rangues have been delivered to the'deligbt
of crowded and unreficcting galleries. > But
the one great-fact still remains—the business
with which the tax-payers of the had sent
their servants here to execute, is not per-
formed. ' . ' -
*7 The finés't and moat ~forcible efforts made
. in oppositibn to the resolution of inquiry,
have been-by Senator Frelin'ghnysenprew
Jeisey. His resentment of the imputation
that the Custom House Investigating Com-
mittee, was a “whitewasbiug” committee
was most eloquently put, and his compli-
ment to our Gov. Buckingham one of the
neatcst passages in'the whole speech, and it
isneedles's to add met the cordial assent of
every listener. He said:
" Sir,‘ it is " no whitewashing committee.
There is now and then a man in the world
who does not want office and yet has it ;~
who does not want reputation and yet gets
it. There is now. and then a man who
spends his time not in inquiring, “What
shall I get; what Shall I have; where shall
Igo -" butthe gIreat uestion of whose life
is, "What shall be .’ He spends his time
in making it an instrument which, 1131 think
Beecher said, gives some harmony in time,
but the sweetest music of which is reserved
for eternity ~ he gives his life to making
character— overnorBuckingham,the chair-
man of the committee, is such a man. Is he
the head of a committee to whitewash fraud 1
'Go ,tell it to Connecticut ; tell it to the
soldiers who have survived the war; his
name is in all the churches; tell it there, and
a smile of derison and “We know him, sir,”
will be the only response. That much I any
in answer to the declaration of the news-
a‘persthat the committee of the Senate on
Investigation is a whitewashing committee.
:Senator Wright, the new member from
Iowa, a modest, quiet and most worthy mau,’
gays, perhaps the most thoroughly digested
and happily expressed argument yet inade
against the Sumner resolution. Its unan-
ticipated ability was a matter of very gen-
eral remark, and at its closc'he was warmly
welcomed to the fore heat of able Senate
. debaters.
ENDED AT LAST. '
The. Senate 'kept at it with heroic vigo
till 7 o’clock Thursday night, and reached a
.,vote, which was carried for the investiga-
tion 52 to 5. The preamble was tabled with
but one negative vote. In the course of the
evening’s debate Senator Sherman reiterated
erFerry’s sentiments, almost literally, as
follows: ' _ ~
: Mr. Sherman said all the_material in-
terests of the country were being neglected
that this political ebate might o on. It
Was a mere political movement. be whole
thin ' hinged on the question of whether or
not-- neml Grant should be renominated.
”The merchants and business men of the
country are feeling that instead of attending
to their business, we are- engaged in Presi-
dent making. He (Mr. Sherman) hoped
the would be no more political debate at
this session.
. Indeed-Such is the feeling of about Ever
body, and evenpf the Senators themselves“
who have taken the leading part in the un-
profitable. and altogether unwise and um
necessary debate. , -

committee on the expenditures of the War

- STAB sumo; .
Mr. Ferry presented, on Wednesday, a
petition which he had referred to the com-
mittee on education, from the president and
secretary of the Academy of Arts of the
State of Connecticut. and the president and
faculty of Yale College, setting forth that
they are a special committee of the Adademy
of Arts and Sciences duly appointed at its—
last meeting- to memorialize Congress with
reference‘to the transit of Venus, which will
occur in December, 1874. They respectfully
Call the attention of COngress to the follow-
ing considerations :
‘First, that'the phenomenon in question is
one not only ofgreat rarity, but of the high-
;est practical moment to the interests of as-

' THE CHINESE COLLEGE.
In the Foreign Affairs Committee of the
~ House Thursday, letters and resolutions
from the faculties of Yale, Union,Williams,
Dartmouth and Trinity colleges, and from
Harvard, Brown, Vermont, Virginia and
the Northwestern universities, were pre-
- sented, requesting Congress to use the Chi.
nese indemnity fund for an American college
in China, as explained in the Chronicle scv-_
eral days ago. Mr. Jones, formerly of China,
who presented these papers, also submitted
letters from Americans in that country, in-
- eluding one from Hon. F. F. Low, United
States Minister at Pckin, all strongly
recommending this measure.
It is stated that the committee are inclined
to act promptly iu the matter under a belief
that the college would do more to open
China than all our fleets.
AN OLD QUESTION REVIVED.‘
Thbrsday representatives of the New
York Board of Brokers called on the Com-
missioners of Internal ReVeuue and en-
deavored to induce him to reopen the case
of tax on the capital Of bankers and brokers.
When Mr. Delano was Commissioner he
decided in the case of E. D. Webster that
involved several Ifiillions of dollars.
' THE ms CASE. .
The following is the text of the opinion
.of Chief Justice Carter in the case of Ames,
of Connecticut, administratrix,carried up on
an appeal from the probate branch of the
special term:
In the case of Antes, administratrix, a
majority of the court have come to the con-
clusion that the judge in probate ought 110’
to have set aside the letters of administration
granted to the widow of Amos, and reverse
his action in that regard. We do not see
any great necessity for'Mrs. Amos adminis-
tering here, but a majority of the court think
she was the administratrix of Connecticut,
and that she had a right to be the adminis-
tratrix both there and here under the low
loci of both jurisdictions; that it was further
proper, as auxiliary to the administration in
Connecticut, to issue letters of administra-
tion here. Without reviewing the whole
case, it is sufiicient to say that a majority oi
the court think tha‘. letters of administration
ought to stand. .
THE LATE NEw roux cus'rox HOUSE
investigating committee will resume their
examination into the abuses in the custom
house at New York on Monday next in this
city. There has been several failures to
have a meeting of the committee on account
of the illness of Senators Howe and Buck-
ingham, but they are now able to be present
with all the committee save Mr. Stuart who
is still west and ill.
SNOW STORM.
The most furious snow storm experienced
here since 1857, opened upon us this morn-
ing. Owing to its severity, the Japs, now
the lions of the town, dld not get out. The
Senate had not quite a quorum,and less than
'a score here in attendance at the House to
listen to the speeches read there'every Sat-
urday for bomc' - audiences. Mr.» Ferry’s
, Private Land Committee, which was to have
given another hearing to the famous M‘Gara-
han case. did not meet. In the House our
Maj. Gen. Wm. T. Clark, of Texas, got in
his“personal explanation” in about an hours’
speech. The way he “went for" the heathen
anti-republican element, now fighting him
and the Governor of Texas, was anything
but “child-like and bland." He charged that
the recent indictment of Governor Davis
was bought and paid for, and the receipts
of the money forthcoming where wanted.
In short, he gave in detail. the Startling
announcement condensed in Thursday’s
New York Times, concerning the chaos
L
ments prove true, it will materially strength-
en the General’s chances for a permanent
holding' Of his seat.
NEW HOTEL AT BALTIMORE.
The proprietor of the Coleman House of
New York, has just opened a new and mag-
nificent hotel in Baltimore, called the Carrol-
,ton House. A grand complimentary ban-
iquet was tendered him this evening, under
the auspices of Wm. PrescOtt Smith, Esq.,
and at which a special car load of journal
ists and distinguished personages were con-
veyed thither from the city.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.
Senator Wilson has returned and assures
the worst that can happen to us- iu the
Granite State, in his judgment, is the possi-
bility that the Republican candidate for
Governor may have to be elected by the
Legislature. He reports our Gov. Jewell
'there and doing good service. Senator Pat-
terson remains there speaking till the elec-
tion, 12th inst, and Senator Cragin left here
to-day to take part in the campaign.
' COT MIXED. , ~
One of the funniest things which has hap-
pened to this funny Congress has just trans-
pired. Senator Chandler got up and charged
that somebody hadbeen sending 011‘ Blair&.
Schurz speeches and a call fdr the boiling
Cincinnati Convention! Morton charged
that his flank had been forged in the same
manner. Senator Tipton rose and said he
had been equally unfortunate, as some one
had sent a speech of Chandler’s under his,
Tiptou’s frank, and the recipient replied that
he would thank him to treat him to no
,more such stuff. All were indignant at the
supposed forgcn'ea of their franks. It turns
but that the. speeches themselves had got
mixed and the terror now is on the part of
all who have delivered speeches to know to
what extent they have been thus. innocently
disseminating political heresy of the most
vexatious sort, among their respective
friends.
TnE DANBURY BANK CASES. -
It is expected that the decision in the
Bethe! and Pahquioque Bank case,’ now be-
fore the judges of the Supreme Court, will
be rendered next Monday. There are of‘
course no iatimations as yet what the de-
cision will be. " -
REDEMPTION on MU‘I‘ILATED Cunnnch.
The Secretary of the Treasury announces
that mutilated currency may be exchanged
for new notes prior to the‘ Counting of the
old notes on the following conditions: The
parties desiring to exchange must transmit
their money to the United States Treasurer
and place in deposit at the Treasury De-
partmcnt an amount of bonds equivalent
thereto. They will then be entitled to draw
on the local or sub-treasurer for the amount
of new notes, any deficiency found on
counting the old notes to be made good by
them. > '
REWARDS FOR OUR smons.
The French Legation has transmitted to
the Department of State four medals design-
ed for presentation to Captain Peterson, of
the ship Thatcher Magouu, of Boston, and
David Roberts, mate, and John Rawles and
William Anderson, sellers of the same
vessel, in recognition of their services in
rescuing the crew of the French brig Le
Grand Frederic, in Feburary, 1870. The
medal for Captain Peterson is of gold, the
others of silver. It is mentioned in theletter
accompaning the medals that the gravity of
the evients of the past eighteen months. in
France has caused a delay in the recogni-
tion of the gallant services of our sailors.
THE JAP Ermassv.
The Japanese Embassy which arrived in
this city yesterday afternoon is the, most im-
.portaut- commission which has ever lefl
that far-oil“ country. It includes one bun»
dred and fourteen members, and represents
the nine departments of the Japanese gov-
ernment. The embasay Of1860 was simply
a delegation of officers of inferior rank,

plan. '
PERSONALS.
“Uncle Truman Smith," of Stamford, left
for home on Friday last. After listening to
a good deal of the “very able debate” on the
French arms question, the clear-headed old
gentleman remarked with a pretty strong
adjective, that he‘ “was , done worshipping
talent where there wasn’t a particleofsense."
Senator Davis left yesterday for Kentucky,

Mr. Stanton, of Darien, has been here, and
after having fallen a prey to the prevailing

, SUFFOCA'I‘ED.——A servant girl named Rosa
Clark was suffocated in her room in a
boarding house on Marshall Street, Sopth
Norwalk, Sunday night. , She came home
that night about twelve o’clock, and went
to her room. Next morning the' attention
of the people in the house was attracted by
Stacks and thesmell of burning wood, and
upon going to her room the floor in 'front of
her bed was found to be’ou 'fire, and She
was dead in bed. It is supposed that she
must have carelessly thrown a lighted
match upon the floor which set fire to her
cast-ofi' clothing and the floor, smouldering
during the night in the close room. The
coroner’s jury returned a verdict of suffoca-
.ti'on.

his preaching during a pastorate of nearly
five years, stating briefly the truths and doc-
trines 1p had endeavored to'teacll, etc. The
sermon was excellent and very appropriate,
and was listened to with deep interest. Last
evening a farewell party was given at the
residence of Mr. L. H. D’glow, to which all
members of the congregavlen were invited.
The 28th anniversary of Concord Division,

Joseph H. Gilhuly, of this place, an eccle:
siastical student of the Diocese of Hartford,
died in Brooklyn, N. Y., Feb. 26, aged 24
years. In the Fall of 1863 he went to St.
Charles’s College, Maryland, and a few years
\
and in 1809 there completed hiscourse of
classics and philosophy. He then went to
St. Mary’s, Baltimore, to study theology, but
in the summer of 1871 was attacked by con~
sumptiou which interrupted his studies. In
December he went South, hoping, to benefit
his health,but was obliged to return, and
died in Brooklyn, on his way home. His
remains were brought to Norwalk last Tues-
day, and On Wednesday a solemn mass of
Requiem was [celebrated in St. Mary’s
church, and be was buried on the same day.

their eyes to the advantage of applying to
it the same principles upon which they con-

A practical measure for encouraging the
growth and cultivation of forest trees has
been introduced in Maine, where a bill has
been reported in the Legislature exempt~
ing from taxation lauds devoted to that
purpose for the period of twenty yefi's. The
amount of tunes that would be derived
from such lands ; if uncultivated, would be
comparative small ; and yet the exemption
is of sufilcent importance, it is thought, to
stimulate the cultivation of trees, suitable
for timber. Anyplan which afi‘ords reason-
able promise of checkingthe reckless de-
vastatiou offorest which is now going on
throughout the country is worthy of com-
meudation, and it is to be hoped that the
Legislatures of other States widmake efiorts
to accomplish the same end.

27th of‘February, friends began-to gather at5
the residence of the dcceased,,No. 484 Fifth
Avenue. The rich casket containing the
body, attired ‘in a black suit, was covered
and surrounded by a great profusion of
fiowers,cut, and wrought in beautiful forms--
crown, anchor, harps, crosses, and wreaths.
The noble fac‘c had a calm aspect Of dignity
and repose. Soon the select pail-bearers—
Messrs. Julius Wadsworth, Peter Byron,
Albert Havemeyer, E. S. MouroeJesse Hoyt,
John 0‘Brien,Pa1-ker Handy, T. R. Capen,
F. G. Sultonstall,—took their places, with
Rev. Dr. Rogers and Rev. Mr. Woodr'nfi‘, and
the former offered amost tender, touching
and appropriate prayer.
A large concourse of friends and associates
of the deceased, among whom were many
well known in public and commercial life,
filled the South Reformed Church, corner of
Fifth Avenue and 21st Street.“ Venerable
_ heads were many'und noticeable, and friends
from Norwalk not afew. A well trained
quartette, accompanied by the powerful
organ, discoursed sweet but mourufhl music.
The exercises, conducted by the beloved and
deeply bereaved pastor, were opened by Rev.
Mr. Woodrufl‘ In the appointed lessons of
the Episcopal church ; and it was a fitting
expression of the truly Catholic spirit of the
deceased when his pastor (Reformed) and
Rev. Dr. Hastings, (Presbyterian,) pastor of
the eldest son, stood by the side of their
Episcopal brother, and rendered the full
responses. _ ~
The discourse of Dr. Rogers, prepared in
very limited’tlme and under a great pressure
of sorrow, was an exceedingly beautiful and
touching eulogy of the deceased us a man of
great energy and breadth of character,
and of-extensive reading and culture; a
banker of distinguished sngacity and com-
prehension in his business, as well as of
sterling integrity and of quickest, highest
sense of honor ; a true, finished gentleman ;
a genial host and generous friend; a sympa-
thlzlng benefactor ; a liberal, discriminating
patron of the fine arts; the devoted hus-
band, the loving fajber, the joyful and cor-
dial companion of—his children, reverend
and delighted in by them ; the early, long-
trlcd christian, consistent and humble, of
large charity. in crccd and practice, whose
faith and resignation in death was the fitting
consummation of a well sustained lifc. ‘
The fixed attention and tearful emotion
of the auditors evinced their hearty, respon-
sive appreciation of the glowing tribute
which the pastor paid to his prized parish-
ioner and magnanimous friend and sup-
porter. . ' '
Many have expressed an earnest desire for
the publication of this obituary.
Dr. Hastings next offered a prayer so corn;
prehensivo, so' feeling, so chaste and so
eloquent, that it is difficult to characterize it
without conveying an intimation that it was
ten finished, too elaborate to be a reverent
dddress to God; which would be most un-
just. _ '
The congregation then joined with the
Choir in singing “Rock'of Ages, cleft for
me,” a favorite hymn of the deceased, and
the benediction was pronounced by Rev. Mr.
WOodrufi‘. ' . _ - _ ‘
The-president of the New Haven Railroad-
had most courteously oflered three cars for
the funeral cortege, his own apartment in
No.27 being assigned to the family, the
other part to relatives and connections. The
second contained the casket:and pall bearers,
and other friends filled it 'up, and also the
third; all being put in charge of Samuel
Northrop and attached to the 12:15 train,of
which~Ward Nichols was the conductor for
this day. ' - _' \_,
' , When the irain bad j t crossed - the
bridge atHarlem a and casualty occurred. -
.Miss Bessie, the daughter of Rev. Dr.
Roger's,having been visiting in Hartford,
unexpectedly came down on Condu'ctor
Strickland’s train toflmeet and join that
other fi'ieuds, and ,. was. .set .ofi’for.~ that pur-
pose at the south end of. the bridge—a 'con-
.siderate deviation fi-om the rules. Here she
ascended the fourth car, and rapidly pushing
through four others, came to the first belong-
ing to’ the funeral cartege. The front door
of this had been locked to mount intrusion,
and ‘Mr. Northrop, having the key, was in
the following car.
When she presented herself on the plat-
form at the door, she' was recognized by. her
friends, Mr. James H. Benedict and Rev; S.
B. S. Bissell, whp sprang from the forward
seat to meet her and tried to communicate
the fact that the key was notin the lock. R.
H. BisSell, 'who was sitting near, ran to get
it. She then asked ‘if Dr. Rogers was on
the train, and no sooner did one of the gen-
tlemen turn and start to find him than She
suddenly and mysteriously leaped, or was
thrown, from the car. The gale that was
blowing and the clangor of the wheéls prob-
ably prevented her fi'om hearing what was
said. She was hurled headlong to the
ground between the bridge and Mott Haven
station. In the: confusion and consequent
delay the train was not arrested until it had
passed the Hudson River Railroad Junction,
when it was cautiOusly backed down as soon
a‘s'it could be done safely. In the meantime
the sufferer was discovered by the bridge"-
tender, and borne into the hotel close by,
where she was 'kindly ministered to and
soon delivered to .her father and mother;
when, after a‘ balthurs’ detentiOn, the train
moved on. This sad occurrence deepened
the gloom before resting on the company,
and excited the liveliest .sympathy. On
Thursday last she was' removed to her
father’s house. 'No bones were broken nor
internal'injury sustained, but she was badly
bruised. The greatest cause of apprehen-
sion is from the concussiOn. At the last ac-
ceunts she was quite comfortable and doing
well, and her friends were cheerful and
hopeful. '_ - . *
> Nothing noteworthy marked ‘th‘e further
progress of the' train until it slowly passed
Noroton station, where the children of
Fitch’s Home were drawn up on the plat-
form, with uncovered heads and other
tokens of mourning and honor for their de-
parted friend. It was a spectacle that
touched all hearts and unsealed many eyes.
At South Nor'walk-all places of business
were closed. and the people assembled in
large crowds at the station and in the streets,
to Show all possible respect to the dead.
The square'iu front of the depot was‘ filled
with carriages, the Danbury cars and the
Horse cars were draped in mourning, a large
flag was displayed at half-mast iu 'fl'ont of
the hotel, and the scene altogether was one
such as never before witnessed in this town
since the funeral obsequies of President Lin-
coln. Upon the arrival of the train, three
cars, containing the mourners and the body,
switched-oil upon-the Danbury track. The
procession was then formedaud moved up
West avenue, past beautiful Elmenworth,—
the most extensive and .elegantgresidence,
we believe, yet completed in America, in
whichhe took so much pride and pleasure,
--to the Bridge. Here again, numerous
flags were displayed at half-Inuit, and places
of - business _'w.cre universally closed, and
many were draped in mourning.
The ,Ihneral; cortege passed through the
village to the cemetery, béing marked 'only
by its length and extreme simplicity, th'ere
being no attempt, whatever, at display. :At
the; grave the services were briefand entirely
flee from ostentation. ; Rev. Dr, Spencer
read the burial service, aasisted by Rev. C.
M. Selleck, and the remains were quietly
dcposited in the grave-together with many
exquisitely beautiful . flowers, expressing
volumes of love. and affection. One of- these,
especially—a. white cross with the word
"Father?’—-told a touching tale, of love and
indicated the character Of all as simple in-
dividual offerings. As he lived so he was
buried, without ostentation and with the
loveand esteem of all. ~

WThe N. 7. Tribune has the following
faithful portraiture of two New England
Senators. The one concerning our own Sen-
ator will be recognized as not overdrawn
and what is said of Mr. Patterson is equally
true :—
“The terms of Orris S. Ferry' and James
W. Patterson, U. S. Senators from Connec-
ticut and New-Hampshire respectively,
expire with the present Congress, and their
seats will be filled for the six years ensuing
by the Legislatures about to be chosen.
These gentlemen had seen little public ser-
vice out oftbeir respective States prior to
their election to ihe Senate, wherein they
bavechosen'not to be persistent speakers,
while Mr. Ferry has suffered from chronic
ill health. The name ofneitber of them has
thus been made. ' ' ..
“To fill the speaking-trump of sounding Fame ;"
so that some intelligent readers may not
already know that two better Senators than
Messrs. Ferry and Patterson are hard to
find. There may not be Forty Thieves in
the present Senate, but there are at least
twenty more than there should be, and
venality is there so common that even pure
men are unjustly suspected; yet' no one
.ever suspected or insinuated that either
Ferry or Patterson has made or sought to
make a dollar corruptly. Capable, modest,
independent, and stcruly conscientious,
their States Will be fortunate if able to re-
place them bv successors equally stainless
and worthy." . ' .

Another apparent attempt has been made
upon the life of Queen Victoria,a lunatic
having aimed a pistol at her while she was
taking an airing. This is the fourth time
the (iueen hascscaped unharmed from the
pisto s of would-be assassins. John Oxford,
a crazy lad. fired at her in 1840, a few
months before the birth of the Princess
Royal.‘ The second attempt was made by
John Francis, in 1842; Francis was con-
dcmmncd to be hangcd,but the Queen com-
muted his sentence to lrnnsporlatiah for
life. Two months after this second attempt,
one J. W. Bean aimed a pistol at the Queen,
but it was struck down before hc fired.
Dean was imprisoned for 18 months; and
Parliament,ut that time, made whi ping

‘n
doubtcdly, the result of a monomania bcgot
of long brooding Over. fancied personal or
national wrongs. This last affair seems to
have been the empty threat of a crazy man,
and his weapon, a forlorn and harmless
instrument, was as empty as his terrifying
action. Coming so close upon the late
pompous demonstration of loyalty, this mad
and fantastic act will be likely to intensify
popular affection for the Queen—Tribune.

upon by messenger who said that the pro-
phct and marrier, Brigham Young, desired
to call upon him, but was unable to do so,
and would like to be called upon. The
royal ambassador inquired why the prophet
could not call I ' To this the messenger re-
plied that he was unwillingly confined to
[his room in charge of a federal officer. The
prince saw the point at once, and with a
frown said: “We came to the United
