The Death of this estimable gentleman and
wnrfhr divine easts a ploom over the entire
community, and we wonld delight to give our
testimony to the blamelessncss of his character
and the earnestness and sincerity of purpose
which actuated his whole career, but
that task devolves upon older and more suitable
hands.
On Friday at 11 o'clock, his remains, followed
by his beareaved family, were borne
to the Episcopal Church, where an immense
throng had assembled to testify their love
and respect for his memory, and the solemn
service for the burial of the dead, was said
by the Rector.

the following beautiful ad drew which
he has permit* d us to publish, at the request
of many eitisens:
My Dear Brethren: Were I to consult
the spirit of our services, I should bid you
at on?*e depart t-? the performance of tltesad
duties that remain. Whether comment upon
this sad dispensation of Providence will
tend to soften our grief or not?whether it
will tend to impress us ui-ire deeply or r.ot,
w'th the instruction which G?d has mercifully
given for just such occasions as tliie. T
cannot tell. And yet. before wc bear this
precious dust to its last restinsr place. I would
pause to recall the teachings of the all-wise
(I.*! t" remind you of them, that thus we
may be the better prepared to stand beside
tii-it cr:'v^ in laitn ana nope.
From a human staix)-p<>int. what an inscrutable
providence is this! Think of his
^ youth ' Think of his holy office! Think of
the rich endowments with which God had
fitted him. fitting him so peculiarly for his
sacred calling! His was a spirit full of
real?a heart full of that 6weet sympathy that
drew men to him His was a faith that was
child-like?a life thoroughly consecrated to
his Master and His holy'cause?a mind never
satisfied with already acquired wisdom,
but eagerly searching after higher attainments
in the knowledge of truth. Think of
the Church, with her hands raised to heaven,
aa so recently they were, praying that her
destitute places might be supplied with laborers.
Think of the parish of which he
had just taken charge, where affections had
already gone oat to Lim as thoir spiritual
guide and counsellor. Of all these things
think, I say; and then stand here and look
nponthe sleeper who reposes in his sacred
vestments beneath that (Joffin lid. There
lie the youth and strength that only vasterday
we r?joiced in, while that spirit, with
all that made it valuable to us, to the world,
to that weeping circle, upon the sanctity of
whose grief we may not intrude, to the
Church, has returned to the God who gavo it
The human mind, left to itself, gropes
in darkness, and stands bewildered here.
But, blessed be God. the humau mind is not!,
left to itself. The veil is drawn before us.
and our brother has passed beyond the voil; j;
1 Sniritof God?the Truth of God, |
ta.rics upon this side with us, and tells us j
what is beyond. And how different are '
these teachings froui our conceptions!
We call this death! \
No. no, my brethren, it is not death.?
" Whosoever liveth and belieTeth in JIc ,
shall never die." " He that believeth in j,
Me. though he were dead, yet rhall ho live." j,
"T am the resurrectw n and the lift." "In^i
mv flesh I shall see God." j <
Inspired wisdom come* to us to day and (
interprets. ?o sweetly, the silence and stillness
of this christian disciple. He is onlv i
asleep, says Pt Paul?only anirrp. He is
rettinq, savi St. John?resting from his la- |
bors. And Gud knew, my brethren, a groat
de>?1 better than wo could k.mw when tite ,
d;iv ought to oo.H*.?, and the M* ivr '.tight t'? |

* mysterious agency that blot* the promise !
of a uoble destiny. And it is this, I shall |
n it mv misunderstanding, it i? this forgvt- i
fuinesa of the benevolence of death that *
makes an event like this appear 8" strangely ' <
incomprehensible. Who cau stay the pro- |
gross of an immortal nature! Especially (
wlieu that natnro partakes of the life of i
Christ! Y??u cannot arrest that progresa >

w.irld ami a too suseepti do nature are thr -wn |
around us! And forever most we casf vich

botide th'- dead, w?; rea l the testimony ;>f f
God concerning them. In the lesson fr un 1

trasted with your's and mine. Refer to it, ! c
and tell me which has progressed the farther, t
Ah, my brethren, he is beyond us now! We n
are still bearing the image of the earthly? (
he has outgrown that. We are still clothed i
with that flesh and blood which cannot in
herit the kingdom of God?he has thrown ! t
them from him, and already those incom-: (
prehenaible laws are in operation, by which j t
the corruptible is putting on incorruption, j c
and the mortal immortality; while we are j f
only waiting until our change como. t

And are not the dead in Christ such? Ne- t

Washington Correspondence. |
Washington, Jan. 25, 1873. j
credit mobilier.
One week ago, after the Congressmen 1
charged with being implicated in ureait
Mobilier transactions, had come forward to
the Poland Investigating Committee and (
told their little stories as to the manner in
which thej were tempted by the Congressional
Mephistophiles?Amos, and how,
like virtuous little gentlemen, they said to
him on reflection, get thee behind me, Mephisto,
it seemed as if they were a badly
used set of innocents, Mr. Brooks and 1
Demi-John A. Bingham alone facing the 1
inttsic and avowing their transactions in the 1
Credit Mobilier stock. Now, however, the 1
scene has changed, for Ames, for reasons of
his own, determined to no longer be a scape |
goat, and he has pricked the Congressional
bubbles that were so dexterously blown, and
and a general collapse has been the result.
Blaine, Senators Wilson and Dawes appear
to be the only ones not singed with the Mobilier
flame. Yesterday's examination of
Ames was most damaging to " Pig Iron"
Kellcv and Vice President Colfax Kelley 1
Mrton nrnta Aiiochnnlncr A mm offer I '
1UUIIU U p' 'U VIVW VJ UVPVIOUIU^ AAIUWV, MIW* f
denying that he owned any stock, that he 1
(Ames) had ten shares Credit Mobilier, and
<brty or fifty shares of Union Pacific stock J
for him, which he requested to be hnnded
to the chairman subject to his order. Pig '
Iron's impeouniosity will prompt him to use '
it. now that the truth has come out. Col- 1
fax came out of his cross-examination of
Ames badly scorched. When Colfax asked I
A mes why he had not cross-questioned him
about the check for $532 which he (Amos)
alleges he paid him when he gave in his tesmony,
Ames whined out that he did not
want to bring it out, wanted to let him off as i 1
easy as possible; was in hopes it would not
come out. After a long examination at the *
hands of Colfax, Ames said that he had re- J
freshed his memory from his books and the <
books of the sergeant-at-arms; he rembtsred
it all now; had vouchers, and did not think s
Colfax could swear hard enough to get out j
of it. The public and the press believe the
statements made by Ames, because the circumstantial
evidence is all in his favor. Such
defective memories as this investigation has
developed, never was known before. Transactions
involving stock and money to the
amount of thousands of dollars cannot be ,
recollected. Judge Pola id, the chairman *
of the Committee said yesterday, that there
has either been a great dillerencc ot recot
lection, or some very extraordinary tampering:
with the truth." lie believes in the e
right of Congressmen to buy Credit Mobilier g
as well as any other kind of stock, but ob a
jects "that they don't come out like men and t
own up what they have done; instead of 2
that, they come whimpering around the r
committee, trying to wriggle out of it." Of
course, they don't feel like owning up. their t
conscience, or rather their judgment, tells
them that they have done wrong, hence their
wriggling and short romances that Ames is
correcting before publication The Credit
Mobilier sensation takes precedence of eve- 1
ry thing else Opinions arc very different 1
jf t<< what the result will be. Souie think 8
that there will be members expelled. I do T
not think so. The hope of the implicated '
iics is that the investigation will drag on h
ro the end of the session, and so blow over. ?
The Wilson committee have subpoenied a s
number of prominent railroad men in order p
find out what disposition was made of the o
*126.000 which, according to Mr. Rollins' a
testimony was distributed in Washington at p
the time the bill was passed instructing the h
Treasury Department t" pay the full interest t
if the Pacific Railroad bonds. The news- t
paper men have been charged as having re- 1(
;eived some of this cash, which soft impeach- t
nent all newspaper row denies, and the press c
rang are very anxious to know who arc the {
rentlcmen who profess to control the news- ^
paper people.
THE COTTON BILL. " r
'1 he Ways and Means Cnmuiitfeo are con- I1
sidering the bill for refunding the tax col- c
ected on cotton in the years 1865-'66-'67.
This measure meets with the earnest and 1
mrdial support of every Southern member v
if Congress, and the memorial presented by c
he... to Congressmen has created a remark
ible feeling in its favor. The only point of
lifference among the friends of the measure
.1 i 11 l < .1 1 ?? 1* 1 . I
ras, mai some inougntine 0111 aia not mate
ufficient provision for the return of the tax
o thoae from whom it was collected by the
Government. This objection has been enircly
removed, by the bill being so amend- ~
d, that the interests of the planters and
reedmen arc carefully secured in having
he tax paid oy them, returned. Mr. Beck
cstcrdny presented his bill to the commitee.
which singularly enough, provides for a
ej>eal of two-thirds of the cotton tax. The ?
mpolicy of imposing this tax is universally <?
oiiceded. its unconstitutionality generally 11
o. and why in the name of equity and jus
ice a wrong should only be two-thirds remolied,
I cannot see. Either the tax was right r
ind the claim is a fraud, or the tax was tt
prong, and every penny should be returned, ,l
ind if full justice wns done the interest "
vould be allowed. Our (Government cannot n
ifford to stand ir the position of a thief, who
lompromises by returning a portion of the ilunder.
Considerable surprise is manifest
id at >lr. Heck's introduction of this bill. Tt
rill make no difference, however. ?s the
eeling in Congress is such that the who'e
imount of tax collected will be refunded by
he passage of the McKee bill.
