JOHN HOWARD PAYNE, "HOJCE, SWEET HOME." I iThebody tf John Howard Payne is on its way to this country trom the cemeteryof Tunis. Mr. W. W. Corcoran, who made the poet's acquaintance in 1840, and saw him rflisi in 1809, will bear the total expenste of the removal and ieinterment. Tnebody «t the author of "Home, Sweet Hone," will be placed in Oak Hill Cemetery, Georgetown Heights, near Washington, on June 9 next. A simple monument will be erected oyer the remains, bearing the inscription: "Jokq Howigfl Payne, author ot Home, Sweet -Home." .Born June 9,1795. Died April 10,1852."

John Howard Payne was not born in Boston, as is stated on the monument atf

Tunis, but in New York City. His father removed to the capital of Massachu* setts when his son was yery young, and opened-a boarding-school in that city. The future poet was a clever, ambitious bov. While still at school he published a weekly newspaper, The Fly, which.is said to have Riven promise of great literary ability. He was a good elocutionist, and loved things theatrical. One of his sports was as commander of a military company known as the Boston Federal Guaids." When thirteen years of age he was placed in a counting-house in Ifew York,« situation most distasteful to him, the tediousness of which he relieved

by acting as the editor of The Thespian Mirror. The excellence of thedramatic criticism contained in thitjour

nal

made him some influential acquaintances, among them a Mr. Seaman, who sent him to Schenectady College to be educated. While there he edited Pastime, & weekly magazine, the first MJnber of wLich appeared in 1807. In 1808 he returned to Boston to prepare for the stage and continued literary labor there as editor of the Mirror. His first appearance on the stage was made at -New York in February, 1809, and wae a success. It was followed by engagements in NewJSngland, the South and West In 1818 he went to England, and on June 4 of that year appeared in Drury Lane Theatre, London. He continued an actor several years, after which he devoted himself to literature. His editorship in.London, of a theatrical journal called Tne Opera Glass, did not last long. By tbe year 1825 he had composed several dramas of merit, including "Brutus,, his masterpiece, and "Clari, the Maid

an" which contains "Home, Sweet Hem*" This drama was included in manuscripts sold in the year 1825, to Charles Kemble ot Concert Garden Theater, London, for thirty pounds. Miss Tree, a sister of Ellen Tree, sang the song upon first .production. It was popular immediately A hundred thousand copies were sold in one year, but not one cent was paid to the author by the fortunate publishers. .It has been distributed by millions of copies since then, and the greatest singers delighted myriads of hearers with its simple and touching aausic and sentiment. Mr .J Payne's literary work while in Euiopei was carried onsometimes in London, .and sometimes in Paris. It was precarious as to its financial results, and the gifted, author is sairt to hare endureu cruel hard-, ships by reason of poverty. Some relief to his unfortunate condition waa found in his acquaintance while at Paris, with Washington'Irving.He returned tOjAmeri-i in 1881, and made his home in New T«ik: ca with younger brother. Hit literal? schemes proved unproflta-j ble. For some time.Payne acted as the' agent of the Cherokee chief, John Boas* 'both in the country of his tribe and in! Washington. This chivalrous kindness W the Indians led to hiaarrest by a party of -the State militia ot Georgia, and temporal ry imprisonment. Paesident Tyler appointed himeosul at Tunis, in 1841. He

WQS recalled duringthe administration of JPolki -Preident Fillmore reappointed him, .and he held this petition of consul to Tuois at the time of hie death.

LAFAYKTTK, March 2.—John D. Gougar. husband of the plaintiff hi the Gou-gar-Mandler suit, was a witness of importance to-day. He must emphatically cleared his wife of all suspicion, so far as his knowledge went. He swore that he saw her leave his home on the 19th ot November, and that he watched her until she entered the door of her mother's residence, across the alley said she came back by 10 o'clock that night. He swore that he "frequently sent Mrs. Gougar to Captain Wallace's office." He related many instances when Mrs. Gougar WAS 'absent when he was instead of Captain Wallace. He had a satisfactory aocount for every occasion when Mrs. Gougar and Captain Wallace were accused of irregularities.

Mrs. Mary Brown, sister of Captain Wallace, who bears a striking resemblance to Mrs. Gougar, swore that she iwas the woman who went to Captain Wallace's office last Bummer when the windows were put downthat the winidows were put down because hewas sickly and afraid to sit between open windows.

Counsel R. P. Davidson for plaintiff, was again to-day severely reprimanded by Judge Gould. Mr. Davidson objectedtto a remark made by the opposing attornes, and bitterly pronounced it fhlse. Judge Gould called him to order, bathe presisted, when the court said emphatically, "You are out of order, sir." Still he continued, and said opposing counsel had uttered a lalsehood. At this Judge Gould said: "Mr. Davidson, it is as eaqy, and still better, to be a gentleman than to act the part of a swaggering bully.' Mr. Davidson resumed his seat, saying he thought his remarks did not call for a censure so severe as that The dispute arose from Mr. Davidson's ot'jection to a question and Mr. Coffroth'a saying the objection was simply made to let the witness out of a close place.

STAR ROUTE STEALING.'

Several Witnesses Testify te Facte Cor roborative of the Conspiracy. In the Star route trial the government called Chas. H. Hooper to the stand.

The witness was bookkeeper for Donoell, Lawaon & Co.. bankers

New

York, and identified a warrant drawn to the.order of John M. Beck, deposited by Dorsey's book-keeper to Doraey's credit on August 19, 1880. Mr. Bliss pointed out that the warrant had been drawn on August 10th and bore Peck's endorsement, although the evidence showed he was then in New Mexico.

Wilbur H. Swift and Carl McClellan former employes on the Bismarck Tongue river route gave testimony concerning the service over that route. McClellen corroborated the statements ot the wit* nessParnell in many particulars. He said John Dorsey told him they expected to get the service increased, perhaps in three months to tri-weekly wad in three months more to daily service. He expected to lose money on the weekly service, but after the expedition aad increase he expected to realize $15,000. He said his brother, Senator Dorsey, was chairman of the postofflce committee and through his innuence he expected to get the increase and he referred to Senator Dorsey and the second-assistant postmaster general. John Dorsey said it did not' make any difference whether or not the carriers got through on time they had an understanding with the second postmaster general, and had organized a ring in Washington, but did not say who were in the ring. He gathered from the conversation that they meant John W. Dorsey, Senator Dorsey and others.

Isaac Cabell, who had been employed by Dorsey in establishing the Bismarck and Tongee river route, corroborated the testimony of the preceding witness concerning the conversation with John Dor

court then adjourned until next Tueeday.

A Cold Caught at the Besqui-Cen-tennial Proves Fatal—Honorable Career of a Wonderftil

Little Man.

Miss* 4 «.*

ATLAXTA, Match 4.—About 10:90 Sat' iifday night Governor Stephens sank rapidly into a deep stupor. The family, Colonel John Stephens and wife, Colonel Grier and wife, Mrs. Linton Stephens, and the State House officers rapidly grouped themselves around the bed of the dying governor. The minutes passed by painfully, until he at last sank away in a quiet gasp at 12 o'clock. His funeral will take place in Crawfordsville, Ga., where he will be interred by the side of his father.

Since Governor Stephen's return from the Savannah centennial he has been confined te his bed. On Mbnday last he be came very despondent, and when Captain JTelms, keeper of the penitentiary, asked him how he felt, he said: "I am going to die." On Tuesday, he said: "The time will come at last when I will, not have strength totally, and this may beihrtftne."

Under the continued use of morphine he became quiet, and was most ot the time unoonscious. Governor Colquitt called on him Friday, and Mr. Stephens, bade him "come in," but before he reached the bedside a message was sent saying that Mr. Stephens was to ill to tee bim. Henetolore Governor Stephens' ailments have been sttch that they could be reached, but this time it is a general collapse of the system. He lays in a ttupor, noticing nothing and taking no nourishment. It is the first time.he has ever given way. He hss been subject to neuralgic attacks brought on by his confinement in Fort Warren and though he delivered an address in Savannah February 12, he caught cold upon his return to this city from riding in a carriage with a broken window, ana never left his bed.

J. S.fioynton, president of the Senate, has been telegraphed for, and will be here by daylight to assume the duties of governor. An election must be held within ninety days. The death of Governor Stephens, though expected, is received with the greatest sorrow by all classes of people.

Alexander Hamilton Stevens teas bfle of the remarkable men of the age. Born on the 11th day of February, 1812, on his father's plantation at Talliaterro, near Crawforasville, Ga., inTalliaferro County he was named Al'x. for his grandfather and Hamilton for a favorite preacher of considerable local celebrity. After his father's death the homestead was sold, and Alexander received as his share $444. Friends interested in his welfare offered to send him to school. In nine months he prepared for college, and in 1828 entered the Franklin college, State University of Geonpa, from which Be graduated in 1882 with the highest honors.

In 1886 he was elected to the lower branch of the Legislature, and subsequently served in that body in 1837-38-39 and '40. In 1842 he was elected to the State Senate.

In 1843 he was nominated for the lower house ot Congress, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Hon. Mark A. Cooper, who wished to run for Governor. He was elected, after a hard contest, on the Whig ticket. Mr. Stephens' career in Congress was an eventful one. He favored the annexation of Texas, opposed the John Tyler Treaty of 1644, but favored the measure of Milton Brown, of Tennessee, by which that state was admitted. He opposed the Mexican war as brought about unconstitutionally by President Polk. In 1850 he opposed the secession movement started at the South, because of the admission of California.

In 1852 Mr. Stephens supported Daniel Webster as the embodiment of the Constitution and Union, and July 3 published a card at Washington which was also signed by the Hon. C. J. Faulkner, late member of Congress lrom West Virginia, in which they declared adherence to the great expounder. Webster died before die election, but Toombs and Stephens still showed their, respect by voting

for

him. In 1834 Mr. Stephens defended the Kansas and Nebraska act on the ground that it carried out the principles of the adjustment of 1850. In 1856 he was opposed te Buchanan, but he voted for him. He predicted the disruption at the election, and soon after retired to private life.

DUKIXO THE WAR-

Nov. 14,1800, when the first premonitory notes ef war were heard throughout the land, Mr. Stephens made his memorable speech before the Georgia Legislature et MlUedgeville. It produced a profound effect all over the land, both North and South. President Lincoln approved the speech, and Bob Toombs, alter its delivery said it was the funeral sermon of the secession. The Georgia Secession Convention assembled on January 16, 1861. To this Mr. Stephens was elected. He still continued to exert his voice for the Union, both speaking and voting against fhe ordinance of secession. His efforts were futile, and after a hesitation of two days he accepted the position as a delegate to Montgomery. He had now cast the die, and henceforth acted with the Southern Confederacy. February 11,1861, he was inaugurated as vice president of the confederacy, and on the 22d of April, as commissioner, he addressed the Virginia State Convention, which resulted in that State's allying herself with the fortunes of her sister States. He early differed with Meminger in reference to his policy of the produce or cotton loan, which was for the planters to contribute cotton, tobacco, etc., under ob igation to sell it and turn over the proceeds to the government as a loan. He urged that government buy the cotton out and out, issuing bonds at 8 percent in payment therefor. Memminger's plan was adopted by theprovis. ional government, and Mr. Stephens, much against his will, was compelled to stump in its favor. Mr. Stephens differed in many points from the Richmond cabinet, as his letter to Mayor Calhoun on martial law in 1862 attests. In the summer of 1863 he attempted to negotiate with the authorities at Washington, ostensibly to renew the cartel for the exchange of prisoners, which was then suspended, bat it wss generally understood that he had ulterior objects—namely, a settlement of the difficulty without far. ther effusion of blood, by acknowledging the sovereignty of the separate States. This was just after Gen. Lee's victory at L'hancellorsville, and the peace party at the North was quite strong. Lee had removed his army into Pennsylvania Vicksburg had not fallen. The battle of Gettysburg occurred before he reached Newport News, and Mr. Stephens was refused permission to go to Washington, and returned to Georgia. In the winter of 1864-5 Mr. Stephens returned to Richmond, and directed his energies toward effecting radical changes in tne internal and external policy of the government

He afterward took part in the Hampton Roads conference. May 11,1865. By order of Major General Upton, Mr. Stephens was arrested, and May 25, consigned to prison at Fort Warren, ntar Boston. Shortly after President Lincoln's proclamation of amnesty he made application for its benefit, and-on the 11 th ot October, having been imprisoned exactly five months, the parole was granted him. I-.}

SIKCS THE WAR.

Returning immediately home he d-clin ed congressional and gubernatorial nors, but in January, 1866~ he was elected to the United Senate, but not admitted, as the State had not complied with the conditions of reconstruction. Subsequently in 1872, he was elected as a representative to the lorty-thfrd, forty-fourth, forty.fifth, forty-sixth and forty-seventh congresses. In 1866 he was chosen to the National Union Convention at Philadelphia but did not attend at its proceedings. In 1875 he was appointed chairman of the committee on coinage, weights, and measures, holding this position also in the forty-fifth Congress from 1877 to 1879 and in the forty-sixth from 1879 to 1881.

In 1882 he announced himself a candidate for governor and was elected by over 50,000 majority, faking seat on the 1 st of January, 1883.

For many years Mr. Stephens has been a confirmed, invalid, being unable to walk, and wheeling himself about in a chair. When in health he weighed only ninetyfive pounds. .3T

WASHINGTON, March 4.—The Presi dent protem. called the Senate to order promptly at 10 o'clock, but senators came in slowly, and nearly half an hoar elapsed before there was, quorum present to do business.

The President then' laid before the Senate the Honse joint resolution making an appropriation tor alteration ef in* ternak revenue dies, plates and stamps, and providing blanks for rebate.

Mr. Morrill, from the committee on finance, reported the House bill to fix the salary of customs at Chicago, which was passed.

At 11:45, Messrs. Anthony and Bayard the Senate committee appointed to what upon President, reported that they had performed the duty assigned them, snd the President had stated he had no ftrther communications to make to Congress.

Precisely at 12 o'clock, the President protem., Mr. Edmunds, brought down his gravel and ssid: ••Senators, the hour has arrived at which, by the constitution and laws of the United, the Forty-seventh Congress terminates. It becomes the duty of the duty ot the chair, therefore, to declare this session adjourned without day, and in doiqg so he wbishesyou and each one of you, a pleasant ana safe journey to your homes and every felicity in your future lives. The Senate stands adjourn ed without day.

HOUSE.

At 6:20 the House took a recess until 9*30. Tlie Clniaf

WASHINGTON, March 4.—After recess, Mr. Holman pretested in the name of the religious sentiment of the country against anything but indespensable public business.

The chair being temporarily occupied by Mr. Blackburn, the usual complimentary resolution to the Speaker for the ability and courtesy with which he had presided was offered by Mr. Randall.

Mr. Blanchard inquired whether one objection would prevent present consideration of the resolution. If so, he would object

The Speaker pro tem. stated that he would not. The question was then put,Mr. Blanch ard ana several others insisting on count. Tho resolution was adobted—86 to 8.

In the course of the forenoon,Mr. Knott, stating that his congressional career would, in an hour and a half, close forever, appealed to the courtesy and magnanimity of the members to let him have the poor privilege of a vote on a bill in which the people of his own congression al district and State were profoundly in t6I68t6d "What bill is it asked his clleague, Mr. White. "It is bill No.—," Mr. Knott replied. "What!" exclaimed Mr. White, in a tone of surprise and horror "the whisky bill land on Sunday. Never, never! I call for the regular order."

An effort was then made to get the Lee and Richardson case out of the way of other business by a motion to lay it on the table, but the motion was voted down.

At 11:30 Mr. Reese offered the following resolution, which was unanimously aiopted: "Resolved, That the House has just learned, with the deepest sorrow, or the death of Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, Governor of Georgia, aad so long a useful and distinguished member of this

House that this House expresses its heartfelt sympathy with the people not only of Georgia, but of the whole country in the loss or astatesman and patriot"

Various requests to take up and pass bills by unanimous consent were made, but invaribly met with shouts of "Object." But when, throuSh some inattention or on account of the tumult in the hall, one such attempt was successful (in regard to the bill fixing the terms of United States Courts in Texas) there was aloud roar of laughter.

At 11:55 the committee to wait on the President reported he had no further communication to make to Congress. Then the Speaker began his closing^ address, and at its conclusion the House adjourned sine die.

Washington, March 4.-Speaker Keifer made an exhibition of himself last night Threugh his carelessness a motion was permitted to go through giving the outside herd the privilege of the correspondenti' gallery. The crowd took possession iustanter, running over the doorkeeper and crowding the reporters out of their chairs. A committee waited upon the Speaker to remonstrate, and he grossly insulted them,usiug vulgar and profane language. The correspondents, fifty or sixty in number, held an indignation meeting this afternoon and passed a resolution denouncing Mr. Keifer in strong language. His only defender was a quasicon espondent ot dubious character.

Just after leaving the court she was heard to almost scream in the hall, and the effect of this was that there was almost a stamppede in the court-room.
