FRESH FROM WASHINGTON.
Return of Congressmen Bright and
Atkm3. A Highly Interesting Talk
Over tee Work of the Session. In
side History of the Closing Strug
gles in the House. Poland’s Hero
ism. The Country Saved by the
Defeat of the Force Bill. Civil
Rights. Statesmanlike Counsels.
Hon. J. D. C. Atkins, Representative
in Congress from the Eighth Congres
sional District, and Hon. John M.
Bright, from the Fifth District, arrived
in the city yesterday and registered at
the Maxwell House. Believing that
what they thought about the measures
recently before Congress would interest
the readers of the Union and American,
a representative of this paper called on
them last night at room No. 12. As the
distinguished gentleman held similar
views on the general situation, the re
porter has endeavored to give, as faith
fully as possible, au outline of the con
versation that occurred:
They were of the opinion that the
defeat of the Force bill and the adop
tion of the resolution of Poland’s In
vestigating Committee in relation to
affairs in Arkansas were the real points
whereby the future destiny of the
country was to be determined. It was
clearly understood that the unpreju
diced and intellectual members of the
Republican pai’ty were all opposed tp
these “ iron rule ”* measures. It was
due to the tactics of the minority that
the Force bill was defeated, which they
did by delaying it in the House until
the adjournment. A grander scene
had not been seen in any of the crises
of the Government than was witnessed
when Poland was the central figure of
the House on the occasion of his speech
on Arkansas, appealing to his party,
and not a voice interrupting him—
the Democrats all crowding around him
and awaiting the issue which was, as
they felt, the issue of peace or war.
Poland was a man that had great repu
tation as a lawyer and jurist, and it was
his devotion to his profession and to
constitutional law that made him take
the course that he did. The vote on
the Arkansas matter was a very signifi
cant one. It was the cause of bitter
dissension in the Republican ranks.
Mr. Atkins here remarked that the
Presidential chair ought to have such
a man as Poland in it instead of ono
who knows nothing about and who
cares nothing for law.
The question was now settled
whether a man should rule with an
iron rod contrary to the Constitution.
If the President had been armed with
the power sought to be conferred by
the Force bill he would have marched
directly over the Judiciary.
Grant was the worst snubbed man in
America, and they believed that the
great ovation to Andrew Johnson was
done more to snub the President than
for anything else.
They both agreed that the Northern
and Southern Democracy were in per
fect harmony and unison. There was
no division in the party on any of the
measures pushed by the Republican
leaders. They all voted compactly
against the Tariff, Currency, Force,
Civil Rights, and other partisan bills.
While the Republicans were split in
twain, the Democratic party was welded
compactly together. Messrs. Bright
and Atkins attributed all these ex
treme measures to Southern Republi
cans, and said that Maynard, of this
State, and White, of Alabama, were at
the head of them,. It was done to
wreak vengeance upon their own peo
ple, and as they could not maintain
the supremacy of their party, they
wanted to plunge the South into strife
and turmoil. It was clearly shown by
the report of the Alabama investigat
ing committee that there liad been but
two political murders in that State. It
was aiso proventhat the letter of Con
gressman Hays, of Alabama, to Con
gressman Hawley, of Connecticut, was
false. They might talk about White
Eeagues, but it was doubtless true
that President Grant wa# President of
the Grand Army of the Republic, in
stead of Senator Logan, as was pre
tended. In the event of it very close
Presidential election, the Republicans
would manage to throw out epough
votes to give them an appearance of
election ; but if the election should be
held to-day Grant would not carry a
single Northern State.
The conversation then turned to the
question of Civil Rights- It was their
opinion that mischief might be made of
the odious law, but if our people were
prudent they did not think any serious
trouble would ensue. A few well
marked and carefully prepared test
cases taken before the Supreme Court
of the United States would decide the
unconstitutionally of the- law; the peo
ple ought to be moderate, and leave
the decision to that |tribunal. They
ought to offer only legal resistance, as
violence would bo out of the question.
No man could commit violence in this
matter without doing his section of
country the greatest harm. The Civil
Rights bill had its origin not in a
humanitarian spirit, but was in
tended as a degrading measure;
also a political measure, to irritate
the people of the South and ex
cite them to violence. No man would
feel himself degraded if a negro should
be forced into a house with him, but if
he will make a negro of himself there
would be something in that. The only
hope of the Republican party was to
carry the next Presidential election by
violence, riots, disturbances and by get
ting a few black men killed in the
Soyth ; then they would revamp their
outrage cry all over the North. There
was a great danger of the tide turning
against us in that way. We had all to
—* * l ‘ ■■ ■ —^
Iln Jails iaiitifnliotialit
lose by it and nothing to gain. It was
the only way to inflame the Northern
mind and stir up their old war preju
dices. It would be well for young men
to quit the dangerous habit of cann
ing pistols, which had been the cause
of a great deal of violence being com
mitted. It was, indeed, a very bad
habit.
The question of abolishing the tax
on hotels was mentioned, and both of
the gentlemen concurred in the idea
that the Civil Rights law would be en
forced, notwithstanding the abolition
of the tax, as its provisions would not
be affected by this action. The only
way to remedy this would be for gen
tlemen to rent rooms and have their
meals brought to them, or take them
elsewhere, as they pleased; or, in
other words, to have a club house and
become their own proprietors. A man
could rent his property to white or
black if he desired, or he could refuse
to rent it at all.

Insanity and Life Insurance.
Perhaps the case of all others that
involved questions of the widest scope,
and of the greatest general interest, de
cided by the Supreme Court at its re
cent term in this county, was the one
entitled, “ Administrator of Geo. C.
Hathaway vs. the National Life Insur
ance Company, of Montpelier. Mr.
Hathaway, some four years ago, pro
cured a policy of insurance in the de
fendant company, on his own life, for
one thousand dollars. The policy con
tained the very common clause in such
obligations, that the instrument should
be void in case the insured person
should commit suicide. While the
policy was in force the insured went
to a hotel in New York city, and
called for a room with a bath in it,
and retired. The next morning he was
found dead in the bath with a pistol by
his side, one chamber of which had
been discharged, and a wound from a
bullet in his breast that caused his
death. .Two letters were found in his
room captaining connected and truth
ful statements of his business affairs,
and expressions to his friends, that left
no doubt that he had died by his own
hand, and that he had deliberately
planned the taking of his own life. In
view of the manner of Mr. Hathaway’s
death and the clause in the policy
making the contract void in case of
suicide, the defendant refused to pay
the insurance, and the administrator
brought this suit, claiming that Mr.
Hathaway was insane at the time he
took his life, and therefore did not
commit suicide within the meaning of
the policy. ,
The trial excited a wide spread inter
est, and the able counsel engaged in it
were diligent in bringing to the atten
tion of the court all the authorities,
even going so far as to quote an article
from Putnam’s Magazine, in 1868, writ
ten by Dr. Beard, who has since become
somewhat noted for his tilt with the
Eddy humbugs at Chittenden. The case
turned largely upon the opinions of ex
perts. Drs. Pond, Woodhouse, Mead,
Goldsmith and otbers, were called, and
testified that the man, in their opinion,
was not of sound mind. Their opin
ions were based partly on personal ac
quaintance with Mr. Hathaway and
partly on statements of his actions on
certain occasions, founded on the evi
dence ana stated to them oy the coun
sel. Every one of these experts was
met by objections from the defendant,
and a large number of questions went
to the Supreme Court, and were dis
posed of in a very common sense way.
The technical questions decided are of
no special interest except to lawyers,
but the exposition of the law as to the
character and amount of mental un
soundness that will relieve a man from
his contracts or make him irresponsi
ble, was interesting and instructive.
Of course, the question to be consid
ered was whether the insured commit
ted suicide; whether he killeu himself
while of sound mind, or whether he
was controlled by a delusion or im
pulse that he could not resist. That a
man is able to distinguish between the
right and wrong is no test of his sani
ty in cases of self-destruction. He may
have very keen moral perceptions, and
be able to reason logically, and suc
cessfully conduct intricate business
matters, and still be influenced by an
insane delusion that will act upon him
to such an extent that he cannot avoid
taking his own life. Insane men have
been known to act with great delibera
tion arid caution, and a deep laid plan
for self-destruction is but a slight ar
gument in favor of sanity. The court
did not go into metaphysical subtleties,
but put the question in a clear light,
where ordinary men can understand it.
If a man, looking over his situation, de
cides, in view of his circumstances and
surroundings, that he would rather die
than live, and takes his life to carry out
that desire, it is suicide, and would ren
der such a policy as this void. The jury,
under suitable instructions from the
court, had been left to say, upon legal
evidence, in view of the admitted fact
that the hand of the deceased com
mitted the act that caused his death,
whether he knew and understood at
the time the nature and consequences
of that act, or whether he was impelled
to it by an uncontrollable impulse or a
delusion.
The decision was that he was not re
sponsible for his actions at the time,
and that the insurance upon his life
was therefore valid, and the Supreme
Court did uot disturb their verdict. It
was claimed by the defendant that the
letters contained conclusive evidence
of sanity, but the CMmrt considered tbat.
in common with the other testimony
in the case, the weight to be given to
them was a question to be decided by
the enlightened common sense of an
American jury.
Never Interfere.— When you have
interfered in a family fight, and been
knocked down stairs by the brutal hus
band, and had a kettle of hot water
poured on you by the ill-treated Wife,
console yourself with the reflection that
the memory of noble and useful acts
wrought in early youth is like the coral
islands —green and sunny amidst the
melancholy ocean. After it has hap
pened to you several times, you will
decide that you have laid up memories
enough of that sort, and will never in
terfere between man and wife.
When your pipes freeze up and burst,
don’t swear about ; just vent your
rage by rapidly uttering the word
which describes the event in German,
viz: Hochquellenwasserleitungsrohr
enfataliaten, and you’ll be sure to feel
better after it. -

of spires and chimneys, and they are

THE IRISH GIANT.
Death of a Remarkable Man.
Mr. James Murphy, Jr., a giant who
has been keeping a restaurant at 154
South Chester street, on Fell’s Point,
in this city, for a year or so past, died
early yesterday morning of a bron
chial affection or consumption. Mr.
Murphy was born in Waterford, Ire
land, and was therefore a full-blooded
Irish giant, and a large one, standing
nearly eight feet in his stockings. He
was thirty-three years of age and un
married. Some months ago when he
was in comparatively good health he
weighed 351 pounds. He had weighed
more when his health was better. He
had been in this country twenty-four
years, having been brought here by
his father and mother, who still live at
the house on Chester street. The giant
traveled three years with Barnum as
one of the great living curiosities of
the world. In his professional career
he visited every part of this country,
from Maine to California and the ex
treme South. After terminating his en
gagement with Barnum the giant tra
veled with a circus, where ho con
tracted the bronchial disease which
finally ended his life. When in
good health he had a fresh, pleasant
face, and, like all large men, and parti
cularly all giants, except those of the
story book and nursery tales, was as
amiable as he was great in stature. He
had a very youthful expression of coun
tenance, coal black hair, and his hands
were so large that one of them could
cover the largest head of an ordinary
man, just as an ordinary hand would
cover au orange. His feet were uot so
large proportionately as the hands, but
beside an ordinary shoe one of his
shoes would seem to be a sufficient ha
bitation for “the old woman” of the
story Book, who “had so many chil
dren she did not know what to do.”
When the undertaker came to mea
sure the dead giant for his coffin it was
found that the deceased was full eight
feet long. Surely the measure of a
man is correctly known when he is dead.
The coffin will be nearly B>£ feet long.-
The body was visited by hundreds of
people yesterday, the giant being well
known on Fell’s Point, where he was
justly esteemed for his amiability,
especially by the children, who, after
tha first shriakage, generally liked to
be taken in his arms and elevated so
far above the headsj’of their parents
as he could conveniently hold them.
Some of the little boys in the neighbor
hood knew him only by the name of
“The Giant.” The body lay in a small
room, about twelve feet square, against
the south wall, feet towards the west,
stretching almost across ,the apart
ment from side to side. Candles were
burning at the head and foot and sides
of the corpse, which was covered with
a black pall, with large white cross
on the breast and crosses in the cor
ners of the cloth.
The father of the giant, who is sixty
five years of age, probably older, is a
large man. ' When at his best he stood
over six feet in his stockings, though
he is now a little bent. The mother is
not a large woman, being not above the
medium size for the sex. She is nearly
her husband’s ago. Both the old peo
ple are in good health, and seem vigor
ous ior tntsir years Tnnlndino- tho
giant they have had born to them live
sons and three daughters. One son
only is alive. Some of the children
were undersized. Only one, a son, at
tained the size of the father, except the
giant, who exceeded the growth of the
parent by nearly two feet. The funeral
will take place on Monday, and the
burial will be in the cemetery of the
Holy Cross.
[New York Sun.
Plymouth Kisses.
The testimony in the great Brooklyn
trial reveals a singular proneness to
giving and receiving personal endear
ments among certain prominent actors
in the scandal. Mr. Tilton swears that
Mr. Beecher kissed him, and that he
endured it, even after he knew that
Mr. Beecher had committed adultery
with his wife.' Mrs. Moulton says that,
she kissed Mr. Beecher directly upon
his confession of guilt and threat of
self-murder. Mr. Beecher is repre
sented on several occasions as laying
his hand caressingly upon Mr. Moul
ton’s shoulder; and from a question
put to Mrs. Moulton by Mr. Beecher’s
counsel, it would seem that an attempt
will be made to show that not only
Mrs. Moulton, but also Mr. Moulton
and Mr. Tilton were in the habit of
kissing Yictoria Woodhull. On read
ing of these things, the profane reader
is reminded of the popular quatrain :
“I saw Esau kissing Kate,
In fact, we all three saw;
I saw Esau, he saw Kate,
And she saw I saw Esau.”
This sort of universal osculation and
fondling would seem to be a usual and
customary observance in the ritual of
Plymouth congregation, though it does
not yet appear that anybody has kiss
ed Henry C. Bo we a or Brother Sher
man. Apart from the alleged kissing
of Mrs. Tilton by Mr. Beecher, which is
in dispute in the case, it appears by au
abundance of unquestioned testimony
that the great pastor is wont frequent
ly to relieve his gushing feelings by
these expressive demonstrations ; and
his example, at least in this respect,
would naturally be imitated by the
generality of his devoted flock.
Perhaps here is the secret of the as
tonishing popularity of Plymouth
Church. The kissing all around, in
culcated by the pastor in practice as
well in precept, must be highly grati
fying to many of the members, espe
cially the old maids, while the young
er people may learn to give up the sin
ful diversion of the round dances for
the superior bliss of pious kissing.—
The pews in the church have always
sold at high prices, but very likely the
universal publicity which these pecu
liar facts have now attained, may ren
der the competition at the next annual
vendue more prod uctive than ever.
A minister who was about to deliver
a discourse, fainted with emotion as
soon as he had glanced at the manu
script of his address. It was at first
thought that he had been exhausted
by wadiug through the snow drifts to
the house of God, but on closer ex
amination it was fjund that the first;
page of the sermon he had inadvert
ently taken read ;is follows : “ The
flowers appear on the earth ; the time
of the singing of birds is come, and the
voice of the turtle is heard iu our land.

AGENTS WANTED.
——
Every Family to be Canva3sed„
WE want local Agents everywhere, and
one General Agent in each State, for
Flio Christian Age,
a weekly Journal of 16 pages, beautifully
printed, unsectional, unseetarian, a record
of Christian Thought, Effort aud Progress;
of Current Literature and News; of Finance
and Commerce. It is to supply all Cris
tian Families througnout the enuntry just
such a metropolitan paper as they need.
Our Editor-In-Chief,
CHARLES F. DEEMS, D- D.,
is so widely known as a ripe scholar, an el
of Christ, and as Tno
possessor of the highest order of Literary
ability, that his name is a tower of strength
to our enterprise; and supported by the
eminent and efficient corps of assistants
that he has called to his aid, we have no
hesitation iuasserting that, in point of Edi
torial excellence, we shall puolish a sur
passingly Christian Newspaper. We
shall endeavor to make each weekly issue
transcend its predecessor
DR. DEEMS’ SERMONS.
It is proposed to publish once a month
or oftener, a full report or abstract of a
Sermon or Lecture b> Rev. Dr. Deems.
Thus the thousands from dinereut parts of
the land who crowd the “ Church of the
Strangers” will have a memorial of the
service which they attended, or the repro
duction of some other discourse from the
same preacher. The CHRISTIAN AGE is
furnished at $3 a year, andio each sub
scriber is given the great Historical En
graving :
THE FOUNDERS AND PIONEERS OF
METHODISM.
It
odists in all parts of the world, ahd in all
its branches; artistically arranged in an
oval pictui-e, for the walls of the drawing
room.
We want only active Agents, those who
will do the work thoroughly. We give ex
clusive control of territory, and do not wish
to waste our field upon poor agents, and
will insist upon active work, regular and
prompt reports, aud a strict following of
our terms and instructions; and if this is
done, there is no business you can engage
in, with anything liko the same capital, and
make as much money, in these times, or
make it as easily. We give as much terri
tory as an agent; can handle to advantage,
and give the territory desired and called
for, so far as we can. Terms, Circulars, etc.
sent to any address.
If you want to make money, try it!
Remittances by Mail should be made by
Registered Letters or Drafts, or Post Office
Orders. Drafts or Orders should be made
payable to the “Christian Age.” Post
Office Money Orders should be made paya
ble at Station D, New York.
Send ten cents for specimen number.
