OfHtft0, nat tile oecfeHfy nOtIly the House of Representatives accordingly

 Whereupon the Senate adjourned.

 HoUsE OF REP's.

 The resolutions adopted in the Senate aE ter the announcement of death of Mr. FuE- TON, flor which see Senate report were de- livered 10 the House by Asbury Dickins. Esq, the Secretary of the Senate; and were read by the Clerk.

 Mir. CRoss then rose and spoke as follows:

 MR. SPEAKER The message just com municated from the Senate relates to mel ancholy event, which should serve to remind us of the frail tenure by which life is held and, at the same time, of the certainty ot deeth. Senator FULTON left this City at the close of the last session of Congress i'll good health, and with as fair prospects for long and useful life as any member of the body 10 which he belonged. Now, his remains restin the sleep of death, beneath the sod of his adopted State. After reaching home, his health continued good until carly in August, when it become slightly impaired. In this condition he slept for several nights in q chamber freshly painjed-thus subjecting him self to the influence of an infected almos- phere, and, us was believed, ultimately cau- sing his death. If medical skill, and the gentle, soothing, and ever-watchlul attentions which a wife, in the deYotedness of her al- lection, can only bestow, could have sue ceeded, this distinguished man would have been saved to his country, to his friends, and to his family. But the fiat had gone forth :; and human skill, although sustained by the watchiuness of affection, could not avert it.

 The Hon. VIM. S. FULTON died at Rose wood, his residence, near the city of Little Rock, in Arkansas, on the 10th of August last nj the liftieth year of his age lie was a native of Cecil county, in the Stale of Ma rylaad, and the first step in his public career was taken as one of her sons in the defence of F9t. Mcllenry at its bombardmcnt, during the last war; as a temporary aid of it's gal lant commander Subsequently he removed with his fathers family to the State of Ten ncssee, and soon afterwards joined the army under Gen. Jackson, with whom he served In the capacity of private Secretary through out his Florida campaigns. On his return to Tennessee he engaged in the study of law under the direction of the late AIr. Grundy, of Nashville, and having obtained a license to practice in that profession, removed to the State of Alabama, where, in short time, he was honored with place in her judiciary. In the course of twelve or eighteen months vacancy occurred in the office of Secretary of the then Territory of Ar kansas, and his former friend and patron (Gen. Jackson) being President of the Uni ted States, appointed him to fill the vacancy. Subsequently the same distinguished indiyid- ual appointed him Governor of that Territo- ry. And in 1886, upon her admission into the Union as a State, he was chosen by an almost unanimous vote as one of her Sena- tors in Congress. In 1889 he was again elected by a. like flattering vote to the same high and honorable station. It is no'less re- markabie than true, that in performing the various and responsible duties of these sev- eral offices and situations, running through d period of nearly thirty years, and embra- cing seasons of high party excitement, 1t was his rare fortune to escape the slightest impu- tatit upon his integrity. No higher ..testi- mony could be afforded of his ability to be useful, or of the purity of his public liie.- As an honest man and patriot he may have had equals; certainly no superior. Arkan- sas deeply deplores the loss she has sustained and no monument to perpeiuate his memory could bs more honorable than that which he himself has reared in the affections of hel people. IL was, however, in the social cir cle, and in the relations of private life, tha his virtues were most conspicuous. Amia. ble, arlless, and benevolent. he never (ailet to acquire the esteem and respect of those with whom he associated. Candor, frank ness, and honor, characterized his inter, course, and were apparent ill all his transac- tions.

 Of his afflicted widow and bereaved chil dren my feelings will scarcely permit mt to speak; upon them the melancholy dis pensation rests most heavily. husband father, IS flo moro; but lost to them forev. CT. \ recurrence To those endearing rela tions could but deepen the poignancv Q grief and 1 only add that he tied as h, liyed-at peace with all his race, and in fht confident hope that he was at peace with hi God.

 Alr |. concluded by offering the follow ing resolution:
