Washington, Maroh 4.?Iu the
t House, last night, on motion of Mr.
' Lawrence, of Ohio, the Senate amend?
ments to the bill to pay the award of
tbe Southern Claims Commission,
were concurred in. Mr. Gerald, from
the conference committee on,the Bun
dry civil appropriation bill, submitted
a report. Mr. Randall, who had re?
futed to sign tbe report, said be had
not done bo, and it was dne to the
House end the people of the oountry
that he ehoold give bis reason for de?
clining to do so. First, he oonsidered
the bill, in amount 927,000,000. as ut?
terly unjustifiable in the present con?
dition of the treasury and bnsiness of
theooontry. He not only protested
against the amount, but all through
the bill there were clauses that, to aay
the least, were, very objectionable.
There was another reason?the com?
mittee had Utterly failed to support
the direction of the House in relation
to tbe New Iberia Mining Company.
The report was then adopted. Mr.
Parker, of Missouri, submitted the re?
port of the committee on coaterenoe
on the deficiency appropriation bill,
whioh wee adopted end the bill passed.
A number of pension end other private
bills of a minor nature were passed,
either under the suspension of the
rales or by unanimous ooasent. The
Senate bill to establish the boundary
line, between Arkansas and the Indian
Territory was .taken up and passed.
At 11.30 A. M., Mr. Pecker moved
io admit ladies upon tbe floor, to
which unanimous consent was given,
and the outer circle was toon enliven?
ed by the gay colors of the ladies.
Mr. Da wee offered a resolstion, that a
committee > of three be appointed to
join e similar committee oi the Beaate
and wait npon tho President, and in?
form him, if he has no communication
to make, the two houses are ready to
adjoaru. Adopted. The Chair named
Messrs. Dawes, Maynard and Cox as
such oommittee. The remainder of
the time was Consumed iu announcing
the enrollment of bills end the presen?
tation of executive documents. Mr.
D*wes, from the committee to welt on
tho Preeiaen?, aunoouoed thai ?bat
duty had beon per form od, and that the
President replied that he bed no far?
ther communication to m?ke. Tue
Speaker then addressed the Huoee as
follows:
Gbntlkmsn : I olose with this hoar a
s i yeart?' service a* Speaker of the
House of Representatives?a period
surpassed in length by bat two of my
predecessors, and equaled by only two
of then. The mutations of personal
end political fortune in this country
hare limited the great majority of
those who hare sooep'ed this Ghair to
shorter terms of offioe. It would be
tbe gravest insensibility to the honors
and responsibility of life not to be
deeply touched by so signal a mark of
political esteem, aud that whioh I bare
reoeived at tbe hands of my associates.
I desire, in this last moment, to letnrn
to them, one and all, my thanks and
gratitude. To tbo?e from whom I dii
for in my party relations, (the minori?
ty of this House.) I teuder my ac?
knowledgments for the generous cour?
tesy with whioh they havo treated me.
By one of those sudden and deoiaive
changes whioh distinguishes popular
institutions, and which is a conspicu?
ous mark of a free psople, that minori?
ty is transferred in next Congress to
tbe governing power of these. How?
ever it might possibly have been
under other oiroumstanoes, the event
necessarily renders these words my
farewell to the Chair. The Speaker
ship of the American House of Rep?
resentative* is a post of honor, of
dignity, of power and of responsi?
bility. Its duties are at onee compli?
cated and continuous; they are both
onerous and delicate; they are per?
formed in tbe broad light of day,
under the eye of tho whole people,
subject at all times to the closest
observation, and always attended with
the sharpest criticism. I thick no
other official is held to. such atriot und
such rigid accountability. Parlia?
mentary ratiags, ia their very nature,
are frequently almost absolute in au?
thority and instantaneous in t fleet;
tbey cannot always hu enforced in such
a way as will win appluase or secure
popularity. Bat I am sure that no
man, of any p*rty, who is worthy to
fill this chair, will ever see a differ?
ence between duty and policy. Thank?
ing yon onoe mure, and thanking
yon most oordially for tbe honorable
testimony yon have placed on record
to my credit, I will perform my only
remaining duty, in dfolariug that the
43J.Congruas has reached its constitu
tional limit, aud that the House of
Representatives stands adjourned with?
out day.
With his last wards the hammer fell
and Speaker Bioine luft the Chair aud
took a seut at tho Clerk's desk. Then
followed a scene probably never before
witnessed in the halls of the House of
Representatives. All over the floor
and in the rear of the heats, which
were densely packed, as well as the
gallery, there was the wildest enthusi?
asm?waving of handkerchiefs by the
ladies and dapping of haods by every?
body?the two sides seeming to vie
with each other. Hand-shaking among
the members then commenced, aud
the time was mnch longer than usual
before the mombers and others began
to retire from tbe halls. And thus end?
ed tbe second session of the 43d Con?
gress.
Iu the Senate, at midnight, last
night, Mr. Wright moved to lay the
river and harbor appropriation bill ou
the table; lost?yeas 19; nays 29. Mr.
Wiadom moved an amendment, pro?
viding $600,000 for the commencement
of the Henipan Canal, wbich was
agreed to. The bill having been cbu
sidered in Committee of the Whole,
was admitted.
The Foroe Bill is dead?not having
been taken up after its second reading.

Consumptive*, Take Notice.?
Every moment of delay makes your
cure more hopeless, and much depends
on the judicious oboice of a; remedy.
The amouut of testimony in favor of
Dr. Soheock's Pulmouic Syrup, as a
euro for consumption, far exoeeds all
that can be brought to support the
pretensions of any other medioiue.
See Dr. Sobenok's Alinaoao, contain
rug the certificates of many persons of
the highest respectability, who have
been restored to health, after being
pronounced incurable by physicians of
acknowledged ability. Sohenok'sPol
monio Syrup alone has oured many, as
these evidences will show; bnt the
oure is often promoted by the employ?
ment of two oi her remedies which Dr.
Schenck provides for the purpose.
These additional remedies sre
Sehe nek's Sea Weed Tonio and Man
dxake Pills. By the timely ose of
these medicines, according to direc?
tions, Dr. Sohenok certifies that most
any oase of consumption may be cured.
Dr. Sohenok is professionally at his
prinoipal office, corner Sixth and Arch
streets, Philadelphia, every Monday,
where all letters for advioe must be ad?
dressed. Feb 12f3
The professed and blatant "friends
of the negro" do not seem to care n
continental about the Freedmen'a
Hank swindle. The commissioners are
doing all they can to get the Govern?
ment to buy the bank property of the
defuuot concern, and say, "Upon its
sale depends the immediate payment
of a 20 per oent. dividend and the re?
lief of the Buffering depositors." If
the Government buys that property, a
oommittee of Southern Democrats
should be appointed to see that the
negroes get their 20 per oent. The
true way to pay these "suffering depo?
sitors," is to compel the thieves who
made away with their money to dis?
gorge. The negro will not be apt to
confide his mouey to Radical philan?
thropists in the future.
That Beautiful Girtj.? Diseases of
the blood are legion, the whole body
suffers from the slightest impurity, ss
is seen by thousands every day. Look
at that beautiful figure, a youog girl,
whose graceful form bespeaks a faoo as
fair as she is beautiful, with blotches,
boils, pimples and sores. These are
nature's beacon-lights, to warn you
that your blood is full of fever and hu?
mor. And you would be wise to heed
the admonition in time. Get a bottle
of Heinitsh's "Qaeeu's Delight," and
purify your blood. * X

fronts tbe fearless fireman, and to that
invincible foe be is compelled to yield.
Of this sad troth, we have had many
examples in the history of our com?
pany, and none of them more striking
than tbat which calls forth this memo?
rial tribute.
Our brother, a. C. I'rice, during his
connection with this company, showed
that he possessed tbe sterling qualities
of a fireman?promptness, ooniageend
perseverance, feeling a deep interest in
the prosperity of tbe company, and tbe
ends of publio utility to whioh It is de?
voted, who was ever roady for any ser?
vice to which duty called him. Such
a man, fulling iu tbe vigor of an early
manhood, so full of promise* is a pnb?
lio loss, aud it is fitting tbat his de?
parture should be msrked by ibis tri?
bute to his virtues and bis services;
bs it
Rtsoloed, That we, the surviving
brethren of Palmetto Steam Fire En?
gine Company, do mournfully deplore
tbe death of A. C. Price, and direct
our Secretary to subscribe in mourn?
ing lines s page of our record book to
his memory, and that the apparatus
aud house be draped in moorning, and
the members wear tbe badge of moorn?
ing. for tbe spaoe of thirty days.
Resolved, That we extend our con?
dolence to the bereaved family, in this
our common loss, and direct our Secre?
tary to transmit to them a eopy of this
preamble sod resolutions.
Resolved, That tbe proceedings be
published in one or more of our daily
