came to the knowledge of tbe priest, and It
waa determined that they bad better leave

consultation with the clergy here, that cer
tain funds be lurnlshed them for the pur
posa of having Pufalskl return to France or
Rome and the woman to go furthar West,
all of which waa agreed to.
Pending the effort to accumulate suffi

Fnll Report of the Democratic ~ Caucus—

crans called the caucus to order. Mr.
Geddes, of Ohio, was selected as chairman
of the caucus. Messrs Willis, of Kentucky,
and Diddle, of South Carolina, were chosen
as secretaries, and Messrs. Caldwell, of
Tennessee, and Stoçkslager, of Indiana. A
roll call showed the presence ofl&4 mem
bers. Four other members came In subse
quently, making the total attendance 188.
Messrs. Carlisle, Randall and Cox ab
sented themselves from the caucus and oc

propriations, the Committee on Ways and
Means and the Foreign Affairs Committee
as their respective headquarters.
As soon as the roll call had been com
pleted Mr. Dorshelmer,of New York, offered
a revolution providing that the votes in the

The result of the vote having been offi
cially announced, Governor Curtin there
upon moved that Mr. Carlfsle's nomination
be made unanimous, which was imme
diately done, and the Chair appointed
.Messrs. Randall, Cox and Curtin as a com
mittee to notify him of the caucns' action.
Mr. Carlisle's entrance with the committee
was greeted with long and continued cheers.
On beiug escorted to tbe Speaker's chair
he bpoke as follows:
UK. Carlisle's speech.
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Conçue: Your committee has just formally
notified
for the office oi Speaker of the House of
Representatives for the Forty-eighth Con
gress, and I am here to thank you very
briefly and very earnestly for the confidence
you have reposed in me. If this had been a
mere personal contest between me and
either of the three distinguished gentlemen
whose names have been mentioned in con
nection with this nomination, I should have
had but little hope of success. They are all
gentlemen of great ability, long experience
aud undoubted integrity, and I assure them
and their lriends that this contest closes, so
far as I am concerned, without the slightest
change in the friendly personal relations
which have heretofore existed between us.
Gentlemen, I trust that you may never
have reason to regret your action this even
ing, and that when the labors of the Forty
eighth Congress are closed you may be able
to congratulate yourselves that no material
interest of your party or your country has
been injuriously affected by my administra
tion of the office for which you have nomi
nated me. In fact, I may go a step further,
and venture to express the confident hope
that every substantial interest will be ad
vanced and promoted by tho united efforts
of the presiding officer and the Democratic
majority on the floor. Such a result will
insure victory In tho great contests yet to
come, and guarantee a long line of Demo
cratic executives with an honest, economical
and constitutional administration of our
public affairs. But, sirs, you have yet much
other labor to periorm, and, again thanking
you for what you have already done, I shall
say no more.

Mr. Randall then addressed the caucus.
He said: "A majority of the Democratic
Representatives of the 48th Congress has
seen fit to designate the distinguished gen
tleman from Kentucky for the exalted posi
tion of Speaker. His administration shall
have my firm, fixed and honorable support.
To my lriends, the minority, who may be
disappoiuted at this result, I tender my
gratitude for thoir support., which was actu
ated by a noble, disinterested friendship,
based upon the highest considerations ot
duty, as they believed, both to their party
and to their country. I bow to the decision
of a majority oi my colleagues. The duty
imposed upon mo by my constituents will
be performed with earnest zeal for their in
terest, for the triumph of my party and the
real prosperity ol my country. If in the
future there be any service I can render that
will tend to these ends it will be performed
with cheerfulness that no other citizen can
excel.
(Applause.^
Mr. Cox, of New Ï ork, then took the floor
and 6ald:
"I tender ray acknowledgements to the
gentlemen who have given mo their confi
.teile', anil especially to the elx teen gentle
men from the State of New York, ana I have
to fay that I am relieved from the resnousl,
hillty which possibly might have fallcu on
my frail ehouldors. I sympathise with the
dt8t)nÄ |,| S h8d gentleman from Kentucky,
iwholïto bear the burden* of the great
srÄ"™? EÏ
i ntorofthe dlatlngulahed gentleman from
Vnneylvanla. The future of our party de
pends largely upon Its action on flacal ques
tions. They connect themselves with the
liberties of life, with trade, with commerce,
with the magnanimities of public life, and
with the grandeur ef the Republic. While
thanking those who have sustained me dur
ing this long selge, I confess to feeling
somewhat wearied of being on my feet dur
ing the last two weeks.
"Eighty-four depends upon the wisdom
with which we exercise the duties ol this
Congress. Without a wise forecast and dis
creet horoscope we will be In the future aa
we have been In the past—derelict, beaten,
doubly dlscomfltted. But I hope better things,
and shall endeavor In my humble way to do
something toward framing legislation on a
higher and purer tone. Remember that '84
depends on our wisdom and our discretion.''

TH* REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
Tbe Republican caucus yesterday after
noon waa alimly attended. Mr. Cannon of
Illinois, presided and was subsequently
made chalim&n of tb« Republican caucus
for tbe 48th Congress.
General Browne of Indiana, placed General
Keifer in nomination in a speech which re
hearsed the achievement« of the 48th
Congress and the part taken by his candi
date in winning them. The speech was In
the same line with General Keifer's letter to
Mr. Phelps. Mr. Thomas of Illinois, made
a short speech seconding Keller's nomina
tion.
A. y. PapItap put Cowmaa Cdrir ra» n
lnaon, of Massachusetts, as a candidate
only worthy oi the compliment to be be
stowed, but the
would be ratified
the entire country.
Keifer's letter, and deprecated the attack
upon the Republican press, which, as every
body knows, he said, is inspired by a sincere
desire to promote the best interests of the
Repdblican party, and which reflects the pre
vailing opinions ani sentiments of an over
whelming majority of Republicans.
Mr. Parker's allusions to the New York
Republican press were not well received by
some of General Keifer's friends, one of
whom sneeriugly interjected, "Muxxle it !
muzzle it 1"
Mr. Skinner also supported Mr. Robin
son's nomination.
The caucus divided, and Gen. Keifer was
nominated by a vote of 44 to 15. Amoug
the Republican Representatives, who voted
in tbe negative were Messrs. Hlscock,Parker,
Skinner, Millard, Payne, Nutting, Johnson,

THE NEW OFTIOER8 OF TH* HOUSE.
The next Speaker of the House of Repre
sentatives is a tall man, with a slight stoop
in the shoulders, Ha has a very large
head, high above the ears, with a tremend
ous indication of strength in his square,
smooth-shaven jaws. His complexion is
sallow—the dead paleness of
student. His eyes are a keen blue, deeply
set under bushy eyebrows. His nose Is a
cross between a Grecian and Roman.
His mouth is large and firm in its lines.
His hair is dark-brown and is Just begin
ning to he thin upon the crown. He wears
the conventional loose-fitting broadcloth
suit worn by the average public man. He
apparently never gives a single thought of
what he has on7 but his appearance Is
always neat and the very reverse of care
less. He is very simple and democratic in
his manners, but is never familiar with any
one. No one would ever dream of tak
ing a liberty with Carlisle, while
the humblest would bs at ease in
his presence. He is a profound stu
dent of all political questions and is nearly
always at his desk. At his rooms, when not
eugaged in his active duties in Congress, he
has none of the arts of the politician, and
be has won the Speakership solely upon his
merits and the general recognition of bis
bright qualities as a statesman. He is 48
years old and possesses a modest fortune,
although not sufficient to support him with
out the Income from his law practice, which
is considerable.
Mr. Clark of Missouri, the new Clerk, is
a tall, sharp-faced man, with a full beard.
He is an ex-member of Congress from Mis
souri and an ex-Confederate brigadier.
Mr. Leedom, of Ohio, who was nominated
for 8ergeant-at-Arms, is an ex-member of
Congress. He is a slim, slightly built man,
with a small head whichls covered with a
shock of red hair. He sports a red mus
tache and goateo upon his high colored
face, and then wears a dark green suit to
set ofi his high colors.

chased for $3,500 aud a contract entered
Into with Thomas B. Hizar & 8on for the
brickwork and Newmann & Company for
the Inside work for a total of $5,398.50. The
furniture, which was principally obtained
through the efforts of the ladies, had cost
$675 aud a perpetual insurance on the build
ing $100, making a total cost to date of
$9,973.50. About $600 would yet be needed
for grading, curbing, paving and iencing,
which would make a total cost when en
tirely finished of $10,573.50. He closed by
formally turning the building over to the
Board of 1 rut-tees of Central Presbyteriau
Church.
Dr. Nixon said no debts had thus far been
contracted and a liberal collection was then
taken up to supply the future needs of the
chapel. Meanwhile Mrs. Taylor sang Mil
lard's "Ave Marla." A letter was then
read from Dr. Wiswell regretting his en
forced absence and referring to the dedica
tion of tbe old chapel dur!» g his pastorate
20 years ago. After the reading of another
Scripture lesson the dedicatory prayer was
made by the Rev. Mr. Brownson, and then
the edifice was declared dedicated in due
form by Dr. Nixon as pastor oi the church.
A closing hymn was then sung with the
doxology, and the benediction was pro
nounced by the Rev. Mr. Taylor.

A VIOLENT SCENE IN THE
COURT ROOM.
THE JUDGE'S PARTISAN CHARGE
Almost Giving Testimony Agalust the
Prisoner—O 'Donnell 'a Farting Denuoeia
tlou.
toHDOK. Dec. 8.— The trial of Patrick
O'Donnell for the murder of James Carey,
the Informer, terminated yesterday In a
verdict of guilty.
Judee Denman, In charging the Jury,
said the evidence was compact. The ques
tion simply was: "Was the killing done in
self-defense?'' The jury must decide the
case regardless of what they may have
read In the newspapers, which, he thought,
were partially responsible for the shooting
of Carey, on account of their morbid an t
sensational paragraphs concerning Mm.
Tbo Judge, m ic.vlo—lug Uns evidence, eutd
that young Carey contradicted himself and
that hie statements should be narrowly
watched, but his charge was generally
favorable to the prisoner.
Upon the completion of the judge'seharge
the jury, at 7 p.m., retired to deliberate on
a verdict. At 7.40 o'clock they returned to
the court room to ask If a man had a deadly
weapon in bis hand and another thought
that he was about to use it against him and
shot the former would It be manslaughter or
murder? The judge replied that It would
be neither. But, he asked, where was the
evidence of any act done by Carey which
induced O'Donnell to think Carey meant to
shoot him ?
When the Jury bad retired Mr. Sullivan
expressed a doubt as to whether the Judge
had not given a wrong direction to the minds
of the jury by his question.
Judge Denman asked Mr. Sullivan if be
could suggest where such evidence was.
At 8.45 the Jury returned tbe 6econd time
and asked the judge the meaning of "malice
aforethought." The Judge carefully defined
the law of murder bearing upon that point
as applied to the present case, quoting au
thorities in support of bl6 definition and ap
plication. Tho jury again retired, aud re
turned In four minutes with a verdict of
wilful murder.
When Judge Denman asked O'Donnell If
he had anything to say why sentence of
death should not be passed upon him,
O'Donnell made no reply. The Judge then
passed the sentence of death tn the usual
The prisoner now wanted to speak.
The Judge, however, ordered his removal.
The police seized him, when O'Donnell held
up bis right hand, his fingers extended, and
shouted: "Three cheers for old Ireland !
Good by, United States 1 Te-with the
British and the British Crown. It is a plot
made up by the Crowu I" The prisoner,
shouting, cursing aud struggling, was then
forcibly removed by the police amid the
most fearful confusion and slamming of
dpors. This action ol O'Donnell caused th«
greatest excitement and surprise, as he had
previously gained the sympathies ol the
spectators by his good behavior.
Father Fleming revisited the prisoner to
day and remained with him a long time.
He says O'Donnell la In good spirite, and ft
prepared for Uie worat, A brother of O'Don
rumors to the contrary, the prisoner will
probably remain at Newgate, where he will
be banged, probably on December 17.
Ample precautions have been taken to pre
vent a rescue. Two wardens remain with
O'Donnell night and day, and are answerable
lor the safe keeping of his person. O'Don
nell displayed extreme Indifference to-day,
and even bore a jaunty air. He does not
seem to despare of a respite. He saye his
friends outside will move Heaven and earth
to obtain hla release.

The Mayor of the city was confident that
he had a plan which would be the means of
unraveling the mystery. He made all the
necessary arrangements to have her call at
his office in the City Hall, where he proposed
to cross-examine her. At the last moment,
however, her shrewd father saw that such a
course would not be advisable, and so he
sent word to his Honor that he was unwill

The Mayor refused this proposition, and so
he abandoned his plan to solve the mystery of
