Eloquent Eulogies in the Senate by Breckenridge and Ingalls, —.——— THEIR TRIBUTES TO SENATOR BECK. es SENATE. The Senate met at noon under the ment that today's session isto be devoted to culogies of the late Senator Beck of Kentucky. Immediately after the reading of the journal Mr. Blackburn offered resolutions, which were agreed to, expressing the profound sorrow of the Senate at the death of Mr. Beck, and de- claring & suspension of business to enable his associates to pay proper tribute to his bigh character and distinguished public service. BLACKBURN ON BECK. Mr. Blackbura made the opening address. He told of the birth of Mr. Beck in 1822 in Dumfriesshire, on the banks of the Soiway, under the shadow of Adrian's wall, where lib- erty firat dawned upon his race, and wherg the tide of batile turned against the Ro: =~ vaders of Caledonia's soil. Burns had his favorite poet, and a frequent quotation of his had been: “Then let us pray that As come it will for a at eouke and worth 1 bear the bree He had appeared in laciakion: Ky., in 1842 without fortune or friends agd determined to make it his future home. le had been born under the ban of those “Twin jailors of human soul, obscure birth and iron fortun He had acquired both, and couid fairly claim, as did the first Napoleon when be returned hi inswer to the emissary from capital, who inquired about his 0 teil your ma+ter that I am to my eas what Rudolph was to the house of Hapsburg—the author of my o' fortune, the founder of my own dynasty.” During Mr. Beck's service in the Honse of Representatives he was, Mr. Blackburn said, the most conspicn- ous feature among those who shared his opin- ions, For sturdiness of blows he had not oiten met his equal and never encountered his super- ior. His lance had been ever couched in de- fense of the ——— Mankind bad profited by his labors an THE WORLD WAS BETTER FOR HIB LIVING. To 1875 he had been sent to the Senate by the great state of Kentucky, and had been with one exception the only native-born Scotchman who ever held a seat in the Senate chamber. But such had been the confidence of the people of Kentucky in Mr. Beck that thrice had that reat commonwealth passed by, s host of bril- flent sons, **to the manor born,” to entrust her dynasties to the care and keeping of her truest adopted child. But the bak bad fallen in the forest. The strong man had been taken away. But there naught left to mourn sav. jis absence. His life’s labor was well done. (is mame would be honored by those wh followed. His fame, fairly earned, was secure For his fature he (Mr. Blackburn) bad no fear. Mr. Beck had been ne sectarian in re- ligion. He had held no creed, but he had be- lieved that the truest and most sublime of all faiths was that which taught men to use their best endeavors for aiding and elevating their fellow men. CRBEDS AND DEEDS. ‘Ane lot ha live in uople decda™ His had been the religion of humanit He bad believed that a man who helped his rellow- men was doing God's service. His life had been molded on that faith. If therc were one soul at whose approach the rly gates of the celestial city would epen widest and offer freest entrance to its eternal glories, it would cer- tainiy be to one which in its life on earth strove hardeat to aid the weak, to shelter the defense- less. to lighten the burdens of the heavy laden, and which brought the most smiles and the fewest tears to the children of the world. Let us (said Mr. Blackburn in conclusion) rest in the belief that, after a life woll spent, with its every duty faithfully performed, his soul, at last, has found eternal rest among the scenes of its creation, in the presence of its MR. INGALLS’ THIBUTE TO THE DEAD SENATOR. Mr. Ingalls was the next speaker. Mr. Beck’s career, he said, could not be considered other- wise than as extraordinary, and of singular and unusual distinction. Ina greatstate, proud of ite history, of the lineage of its illustrious famili of the honor of its heroic names, of the achievements of its warriors and statesmen. that stranger bud surpassed the swiftest in the race of ambition and the strongest in the race for supremacy. He has departed. His term had not expired; but his name bas keen stricken trom the rolls of the Senate.. His credentials remain in its archives; but an hunored succes- sor sits unchallenged in his piace. He has no vote nor voice; but the consideration of great measure affecting the interests of every citi- zen of the republic is interrupted with the concurrence and approval of all, that the rep- resontatives of forty-two commonwealths may rehearse the virtues and commemorate the career of an associate who is beyond the reach ot praise or censure in the kingdom of the dead, THE RIGHT TO LIVE is, in human estimation, the most sacred, the most inviolable, the most inalienable. The joy of hyving, in such a splendid and luminous day as this, is inconceivable. To exist is exulta- tion, to live forever is our sublimest hope. THE FOREBODINGS OF DESPAIR. Aunihilation, extinction and eternal death are the forebodings of despair. Nations die and races expire; humanity itself is destined to extinction. The last man will perish and the sun will rise upon an earth without an in- habitant. ith the disappearance of man from the earth all traces of his existence will be lost. ‘Tho palaces, towers and temples he has reared, the institutions he has established, the cities he has builded, the books he has written, the creeds he has constructed, the philosophies he has formulated—all science, art, literature and knowledge—will be obliter- ated and engulfed into empty and vacant ob- ivion. “The great globe itself, , all which it in- herits, shall dissolve, and like this unsubstatial not a rock behind.” that the flaming interval between the birth an death of universes is no more than the flash of fireflies above the meadows of summer; a colossal power by which these stupendous orbs =e launched in tne abyss, like bubbles blown ® child in the morning sun, and whose sense y justice and reason connot be less potential oe sages immutable statutes that Mr. President, this obsequy is fer the quick and not for the dead, It is not an inconsola- Is isan affirmation to those who that techy pm eont ‘at the close of bis life the monument o! decds he had erected brass THE UPLIFTED ARM.

He had been stricken down at Gettysburg and taken prisoner 2d July, 1863. He had remained a privoner until 21st Novem- ber, 1864. He produced copies of the official records of the War Department in support of his statement. He also put on record his em- tic denial of the charge made in the resolu- Racca that while in prison he hed acted as a barber. cook aud hostler to confederate officers, The editor of the National Tribune was himself 8 prisoner at Andersonville when he (Tarsney) was there. They had often talked over the incident of their imprisoament, so when the editor printed letter and resolutions he printed what he knew was not true. He (Tarsney) made this Statement because he did not wish that hie colleagues in Congress should believe that he had made faise statements as to his war record. On motion of Mr. Payson (lil) bill was d setting apart a certain tract of land in Baltfornia ass public park, THE LARD BILL. The House then resumed consideration of the lard bill. Mr. Gear (Town) said that the pending legis- lation was of great to the people of his state, which contained 6,500,000 hogs The packers of his state complained of the adultera- tion of hog products, stating that it greatly Aid Association, and Grand Master Morrisey, 8.

He wasone of the rst, however, to appear in the dining room this morning, and perused with evident relish a New York press dispatch in a morning which represented that hweency ne attitude bed beon pretty severely criticised by the hoads of the Knights of Labor. MIFFED AT SWEENRE. It was noticed that the other delegatesas they meandered by ones and twos into the dining room had little to say to the switchman, the majority coutent.ng themselves with « nod or a word of recognition. Nine o'clock was the time eet for the opening of the supreme coun- cil, but at that bour the representatives of the conductors had not put in an appearance and the delegates gronped themselves on the sidewalk outside of the hotel and told stories, laughed and joked and talked about everything except the important business that had calied them together. It was # decidediy jolly, good-natured little gathering, and there was nothing in the demeanor of a siugleman to yn that they would soon be called upon to settle a question involving the continued om- ployment of thousands of men, an immense Huancial loss and tremendous moonvenience, not to say hardships to tens of thousands of peo ple. It had originally been intended to hold the conference in the general offices of the Broth- erhvod ot Firemen on Main street, but the side windows of this room front upon a yard attached toa saloon and from which the or ‘more of newspaper men who. are on te scene could have secured an opportunity not only to sce but to hear.

Mr. Hitt (IIL) said that for the last ten years our whole diplomatic service had been trying to vindicate the American hog, and attempting to prove that American pork was pure and wholesome. While our diplomats had been doing this our citizens had been sending through the world an semprageas wok se product. It was time for Congress force honest 8 MR, WEDDERBURN'S PAPER DEFENDED. Mr. Conger (Iowa) said that the resolution to which the gentleman from Iilinois (Mr. Mason) referred last evening in his question of privilege did notallude to the Conger law bill. It had been charged generally around the Capitol that the attorneys for the manu- facturers of compound lard had visited the Post Office Department and tried to suppress the agricultural paper edited by Mr, Wedderburn. Be had not believed the charge, but the gentle- man from lilinois in bis remarks had abso- hutely conceded its truth. What was the paper they had attempted to suppress? It was a le- gitimate agricultural paper which had been published in Alexandria, Va, for seventeen years, and it would compare favorably with any of the agricultural papers of the country. MR. FAIRBANES SCORED. The gentleman from Illinois had defended Mr. Fairbanks, a man who confessed that for eight years he had been cheating the people of the country by passing upon them a counterfeit article. He was surprised that the gentieman should defend that man and then charge that the Postmaster General was influenced ‘‘socially or politically.” The honest people of the country demanded the passage this bill They demanded in trade; not only the but the laborers demanded it. He then pro- ceeded to present samples of pure lard, manu- factured by Fairbanks, stating t that be had bad them analyzed at the Agricultural Department and found that they were composed of stearine lard and cotton-seed oil. THREE SUBJECTS TO BE CONSIDERED. Mr. Butterworth (Ohio) said that there were three subjects to be considered: First, what was the evil complained of? Second, what was the remedy proposed? Third, what was the ob- ror to >. remedy if the evil existed? ver since settlement of greatest denies that any of the Central employes were discharged as a result of their counection with the Knight of Labor, and instances numerous offenses, such as drunkenness, incapacity, of which the men dismissed were alleged to have been guilty, was read with interest by the delegates before going into the meeting. Qaly one of them, however, would allow himself te make any public comment upon it, and this one said that it was an cleventh-hour defense apd came to late too influence either the council or public opinion. PERTINENT QUESTIONS, “Why,” he asked, “did not Webb taik in this strain to Powderly when the latter said that he was fighting for the. recognition of his order? Why could he not have discussed the trouble with Powderly on this late-day line? Sim Py because he knew that if be tried he would the props knocked out from under him, ihe would have been asked to prove the charges. He could not have done it then; he can’t now.” Unless appearances are decidedly deceptive Switchman Sweeney goes into the conter- ence strongly opposed to the federation taking any part in the dispute. The Chicago man was very much of a sphynx this morning. He kept aloof from his colleagues after break- fast, walking up and down the corridor, teeth setanda determined look on his face, and answering ali questions in monosyliables. | His opposition, if it materializes and is persisted in, will be sufficient to render the conference futile. as a unanimous decision is essem- tial to the issuance of « strike order, Among the crowd of railroad men im the rotunda of the hotel there is a general opinion that no strike will be ordered. Grand Master Sargent, before going into the confer. ence, was just as sanguine of victory as he was last night. As soon as the roll call was ended he entered upon an exhaustive statement of the trouble of the Central, beginning with the discharge of the employes, the steps taken by the district assemblies of the knights, the amtervention of the executive board, the appeal to the federation and the personal experiences of the represent atives of the latter. The statement was forti- fied with elaborate documents, which are be- ing read in detail,and the entire statement will occupy ove: three hours. A majority of the delegates are auxious to gct away tonight, and hence an attempt will be made to reach @ conclusion by sundown, Ma. WEBB CALLED A LIAR. New Yor«, Augast 23.—This morning Mz, Hayes, secretary to the general executive board of the knights, made the following statement: “Ibis a very strange thing that Mr. Webb should only now say ‘Yhat the knights discharged from the employ of the hog products of America bad foun: every market in the civilized land.
