Excerpt from Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of Wm: A Buckingham This morning, at his home in Norwich, Conn., at twenty minutes past twelve o'clock, just as night was turning into morning, Governor Buckingham died. I hope on another occasion to be able to say something befitting his memory. At present I offer this resolution: Resolved., That a committee consisting of five Senators be appointed by the Chair to attend the funeral obsequies of Hon. William A. Buckingham, at Norwich, Conn. Mr. Anthony. Mr. President, I second the resolution. The resolution was unanimously agreed to. The Vice-President appointed as the committee Messrs. Ferry of Connecticut, Sherman, Stevenson, Fenton, and Washburn. Mr. Ferry, of Connecticut. The Senate is aware that in my own infirm condition of health it is hardly possible for me to proceed to the home of my late colleague and return immediately without serious risk. Were there no other considerations than those personal to myself, I should certainly incur any risk to be present on the occasion to which I allude, but there are others interested in my health, and I must ask to be excused from serving upon the committee. The Vice-President. The Senator from Connecticut asks to be excused from service on the committee. The question was determined in the affirmative. The Vice-President. The Chair will appoint in place of the Senator from Connecticut, the Senator from Maine, [Mr. Hamlin.] Mr. Ferry, of Connecticut. I offer the following additional resolution: Resolved, That as a further mark of respect for the memory of the deceased the Senate do now adjourn. The resolution was agreed to, nem. con., and (at twelve o'clock and sixteen minutes p. m.) the Senate adjourned.
