At ten minutes of two o'clock this afternoon, without @ division, the House passed the Fort amendment to the anti-resumption re- peal bill. This amendment differs from the ill reported by the banking and currency committee, in that while it repeals the dace fixed for resumption it leaves the free bank. ing clause unimpaired.

THE SENATE was not in session to-tay. HOUSE —The regular order wasdemanded atonce, and the House rsamedconsidera- tion of the bill to repeal the resumption act. | Mr. Chittenden asked to be permitted to | reply to the remarks made yesterday by Mc. | Ewing. He he underssood yesterday | that be was to have some time. | Mr. Ewing appealed to the friends of the bill not to interpose any objection to Mr. | Chittenden’s speaking. ' Mr. Thompson objected on the ground that | at least fifty gentlemen wante! to speak, aud | | as long as they had been deprived. he thoug’ t that Mr. Chittenden should be satisfied, as he bad wlrendy had one bour. The Speaker remarked that he had sald yesterday that he would do all in his powe to secure the floor for Mr. Chittenden, and he hoped the objection would be withdrawa. Mr. Thompson finally withdrew his ohjac- tion, and it was agreed that Mr. Chittenden should have fifteen minutes after Mr. Fort bad bad seventeen minutes. Mr. Conger inquired of the Speaker what would be the course tn voting on amend- ments. He wanted to know tn what order and form they would come up. The Speaker said he would decide that question when it properly comes. Fe intt mat«d, however, that the amendments would | the pardon of Eph. Holland, now serving | Come UP In the order of preseutation. | Mr. Fort said that the only way in which to deprive theresumption act of its wrong tend- | ency was to vote for repeal, pure and simple itwould not doto attack any conditions tothe | repeal, 80 as to extend the act in any partica- lar. Resumption of specie payments coal | not be brought about by all the laws that could be printed inside the cover of a law | boek. It could only be brought about as the | business interests of the country demande | and required it. He advocated the repeal as | & republican, and because he was a reptidli- ean; and it would notdo to charge that in | this he was following the lead of the demo. crats. He was in favor of maintaining the greenback currency, and he believed the | people were in favor of it also; and to main- | lain it they would, if necessary, change Houses and Senates and Presidents. | Mr. Chittenden contended that Mr. Ewing's | arguments yesterday were all based on error. | He denied ‘the glories of the greenback as proclaimed by geatlemen on the other side, | and said the whole object of this legislation | was to inflate the currency and bring about an unlimited issue of papar money. He bs. | lieved that coin and greenbacks wold ap- proximate par and equality if Congress Would stop this agitation of the question. — | Mr. Chittenden said he now proposed to speak toa personal matter, and ove which affected his personal character. He then had read a speech of Mr. Dickey, of Ohio, pub- | lished in to day’s Kecord.in which allusion Was mage to the speech heretofore male by Mr. Chittenden. He also alluded to Mr. Fel- ton’s speech, in which he was called a wrecker, and denied the appropriatevess of the application of that epithet. At the close of Mr. Chittenden’s speech sey- eral gentlemen tried to get the floor. Mr. Kelly demanded the regular order, and sald he stood there todemand it azaiusi all comers until the bill was disposed 07. The Speaker said the first thing in order Was on orcering the main question. Mr. Price inquired whether if the Hous? refused to order the main question it would be in order to move to recommit the bill or to offer farther amendments? The Speaker replied it would, r. Price hoped the main question would not be ordered. —_ The main question was then ordered. Mr. Pound inquired the order in which the Amendments would be voted on. The Speaker said that the rules had been suspended. and as all the amendments were pending they should be voted oa. It was for the House liseif, and not for the Speaker, to deiermive how far the amend- mer ts Were inconsistent wilh each other. The question was first put upon Mr. Fort’s amendment to the bi'l of the committee, which repeals the resumption clause of the act of 153, but retains the free banking was adopted by @ viva voce vote,#nd neither @ division nor tue Jens and taj s were demanded The next question was upon Mr. Hubbe Proposition, so to amend Mr. Fort’s #mendment as io declare the construction of ihe resumption act of 175.

Hawkins, | colored, convicted of rape at the September term of the Howard county court, to which bis case had been removed, suffered the ex- treme penalty of the law, belug executed 1u the jail yard. HAWKUN’S CRIME, Hawkins, the criminal, is 19 years old, of not very dark color, with a low forehead. His crime was attended with extreme bru- tality and cruelly. His innocent victim, Miss Ida Schaeffer, orphan, only 15 ears old, living with her uncle, Heory ingling,on the Sulphur Spring road. The assault upon her was committed near the intersection of the Baltimore and O'1io rail- Toad with the Catousville pike, on the 23d of April last. She was at the time a student at St. Denis school. It appears that Hawkins, living with his parents near where the crime Was committed, frequently met the girl on her way to and from school, and she was in the babit of recogaizing him by the saluta- tor of “Good morning,” or «Flow are you, Jim?” He attempted to become more fa. millar, and onee or twice wanted to walk with ber, but she ran away from him. Oo the day in question she was on her way home from school, about 4:30 p. m., aud when about one fourth ofa mile from the hoase of Haw- kin’s father, he left his plow, and waiking towards her called ber, bat she ran. He, however, overtook ber near a piece of woos, and catching hold of her threw ter down. and fook a strap cut from his harness, placed it around her neck aud dragged her toa trea where be made the olher end of the strap fast, ard atthe same ume he spit todace> Juice into ber eyes to biiud her, aud placed bis bands over her mouth, and when insen- sible accomplished his hellish purpose, leav- ing her lacerated and bleeding in the woods. Here she for a time was ingensible, wih clothes torn, her face b'cody, her throat black and blue from the Lightness of the strap, and ber eyes ipslamed from the tobacco Juice, but subsequentiy made ler way home. | THE ARREST, TRIAL AND CONVICTION. The girl's uncie at once swore out a war- rant for the arrest of the negro before Justice glish, of the 151 district of Baltimore ty. Special Constable Perry G. Mitebe!l ser the warrant and arrested Haw<ias With little difficulty, finding him upon the farm where his father is employed. A deep excitement prevailed throaghout the neigh. borbood as s00n as the facts in the case were koown, and it was with greai difieuity that the constable prevented a resort to iyuching The gir! fully identified Hawkins there and Subsequently on the trifl, which was re. moved to Howard county, where a verdict of guilty was rendered September 7th, and he Was a few ors afterwards sentenced to death and brought back here for the execution of the law. A few weeks ago Governor Carroll signed the death warraul, fixing to-day for . te execution. A PROFESSING CHRISTIAN. Fome three years ago Hawkins professed Teligion and United with the church of Rev. Mr. Williams, in the neighborhood home. It would appear from the statem made by him that outeide the crime tor whicu he suffered death, he was @ rather bard Caris lian, as he was lustful and larceny was a fa vorile pastime with bim. He had, however. never been in prison but once before, a that was on 4 justice’s commitmenton a peace Warrant. He was about five feeteight inches high, slim built, of a chestnut ¢ ior, with prominent cheek boxes, and his fea: tures of the Caucassian type, bis nose being raiber prominent. His countenance was not at all pleasing HIS PRISON LIFE. Rev. M. F. B. Rice, (formerly of Grace M. EF. Chureh of sor ay) the chaplain of the jail, with Rev. J. . Gray, of the M. P. ‘burch, have been visitin, first committed, and latterly Rey. Mr. Trout, of the M. P. Chi (colored) visited him. For a long time he Was stolid and indifferent, seemingly ex- pecting @ commutation of the sentence or, Perhaps, expecting in some manner to get out. ithin the past day or, two he turned his attention more to bis spffitaal interest, listening attentively to the ingtructions of Messrs. Rice and Gray, 3 juently en- gaged in prayer. Last evening, when Mr. Rice called to administer to him the sacra- ment, he was singing, in @ joud clear voice, “I'LL WALK THROUGH PRACE.” A few minutes afterwards Rev. Mr. Daniels ad several members of his congregation, male and female, arrived and entered his cell, when the sacrament was administered, and during the course of the evening he offered a fervent prayer. In the course of his rayerhe acknowledged tnat he had sinned leeply against @ warning,and may I be the last one who will ever walk to the scaffold ” i rin extemporaneous prayer, inadein a loud singing voice, and lasted some 15 to 2) minutes. THE JAIL a stone building, containing 24 cells, 8 on each of 3 Uers, and is surrounded by a high rd fence. It is situated at the foot of some high hills, and upon them were many people, who saw the execution from them, there being @ small group on every spot fom whence a view of the jail yard could be obtained. THE SCAFFOLD had been used twice before—in 1570, in the execution of Pritchard for rape, and in 1s72 in the case of Paimer fora similar offeuse. Jt was placed near the south end of the building, and was about 15 feet high to the cross beam, from whence the rope hung, the ylatform being 11 feet from the ground, with @ trap about 5 feet square, worked by a trigger attached to the lower step. Mr. 8. W. Worthington, the sheriff, issued only some 125 Uckets of admission to the jail and yard. A HATCHE’ Recently the prisoner's father and sisters | bave visiied him several times, and on Mou- day jast, when three or four of his relations were in the cell, his sister Lizzie, a girl of 17, called, but the officers having been apprised that he expected @ hatchet, she was searched and a bateaet was found found secreted on her per- ron lore Fhe wpe! ay niet ~~ yoed rought it ath: uest, not si for what be wanted It.
