BUbop H. II. Kavanaugb, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, died attbis place at 3 o'clock this morning. He came here on a visit from Jfew Orleans, after the adjournment of the Louisiana Conference, held there in January, was taken' ill three weeks ago and was a great sufferer with bladder affection. He was eighty -three years old, and had been sixty years in the ministry and thirty years a Bishop.

He was one of the ablest divines of his Church and time. His remains will bp taken to Louisville, for interment. Sketch of If Is "When David lamented the death of Saul, by which be became the King of the Hebrews, he called him "the beauty of Israel, and exclaimed in bis grief, "How are the mighty fallen." Often as that text has been used upon funeral occasions. It was never more appropriately so tban how. Rev.

Hubbard llinde Kavanaugb. was a doctor of divinity and tbe senior Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church South. He was one of the most eminent miaioters of tho church before its division, and it one time was pastor of Soula Chapel, Cincinnati. He was bora near Winchester, in Clark county, Kentucky, 14th Januarv, 1S02, and hence was eighty-two years old at tho time of his death. His father, llev.

Williams Jlavan-augh, was born in East TeaneseM whilo his parents were removing from Virginia to Kentucky, and bis ancestors were those sturdy. North- of Ireland people -that gave to Kentucky such men as David Rice, Thomas Cloland, Simon Kenton, and. if I mistake not, Daniel Boone. Kentucky is indebted for some of her noblest men to the Protestant Irish, who were her pioneer preachers, and often her pioneer soldiers. Tho Itev.

Williams ICavanaugh was one of the pioneer Jlethddist ministers, and It IS not usually known that in that early day the ministry of that Church were for bidden to marry. Rev. Williams Kava-naugh was the Father Hyacinth and Martin Luther of his day in this respect, and his love for the beautiful Hannah H. Hinde, daughter of Dr. Thomas Hinde, formerly of the British army, proved stronger than the "Discipline." He married her, and for a time gave up tbe ministry.

He then united with the Protestant Episcopal Church, and was one of the earliest ministers of that denomination who bad charges in Louisville. This remarkable man diedAvhen the late Bishop Kavauaugh was a child of four or ve years old. His mother, whose full name, Hannah Hubbard Hinde, was used so far as it could be for a boy at his christening, was equally worthy of note. She was born March 1777, in Hanover county, Virginia. She had six children by Rev.

Williams ICavanaugh, and was twice married after his death, with two children by each subsequent marriage, or ten in ail. She was one of the vigorous race of early Methodists, who possessed a clearly defined faith, and considered it worth upholding and following to all of its logical conclusions. Sue died on tho lltU of 1852, at Madison, Kentucky; and yet herlife-teach- iugs and example so lived in her soj, the late Prelate, and bis life is so much a part of the whole body of Methodism, that in sense she has taken hold of ane arthly immortality. Believing as I do much in Tennyson's line in the "Princess." "The mother makes us the late Bishop Kavanaugh was bis mother's son, and yet possessed of no little of the sterling virtues of his father. Much as we Americans belittle tbe idea of worth inherited from ancestors; we find almost no case ia oar history where a truly great man has come from a stock possessed of no merit.

We look for the pedigree in horses and cattle, and begin to look for it in men. I have in my collection almost the first marriage return ever made by Rer, H. H. Kavanaugh, in the day when all ministers bad to take oat a yearly license from tho Circuit Court, and at the bottom is bis signature, only little more bold and firm than the one signed to the letter written jast before he went to preside at the Mississippi Conference, from which he did not return alive. He was educated at the private "pay schools" of his day, for there were then no free schools, and at the age of 13 ie was placed in tbe family of Rer.

John Lyle, a Presbyterian minister, as an apprentice- to the printing trade. To that extent, and later as an editor, was the dead Bishop of kin to the fraternity of printers. The Rev. John Lyle lived in Paris, Bourbon county, Kentucky, and was so pleased with the bright lad that he offered him -the classical and scientific education required for tbe Presbyterian clergy. But here the mother was felt, who bad said, "I raised him first a Christian and second a Methodist, and to me they mean the same thing." He felt it bis doty to preach 'free grace and the Integrity, of the divine invitation to all men," and did not forfeit tbe respect of bis friend by adherence to, his principles.

So far from it. he was released while bis indentures had yet two yean to ran. A relative of Father Lyle, whom I met at the Presbyterian Centennial at Harrodsburg last year, told aa this Amus ing incident of the canceling of the indenture. By the law of Kentucky in that day a master was bound to give his appren-tice the education and the trade stipulated for in the papers, and no release would save him from an after-suit for damages, because the only party able to give it would be the, apprentice, whose acts as a minor were void in law. Therefore, in giving up the indenture, Mr.

Lyle said: "Now do yon intend to sue me for your trade when you become of age!" "Xo, sir," said young Kayanaugh, "I never will." You mean," said the Presbyterian, "that you never will until you fall from grace. You know that your denomination bas no warrant of perseverance, and may fall into any sort of sin." This was a tit-for-tat, and made good some of the hits of the yunger man, at the cr-ed of the older, that "air meant a part. Each kept his faith, and both kept the friendship, while young Kavanaugh returned to his mother in Clark county, Kentucky, and becan tbe careful studv of tho works on Methodism that resulted in bis conviction, and the fixing of hU intention to preach the Gospel. His formal union wit'a the Church was 1S17, when in bis year. Like many of the great Bishops, bis work began among the colored people, atid it was seldom he was allowed to preach to a white audience.

It is said that opco while hejping in meeting, the preacher in charge was asked dinner, but. Mr. Kavanaugh would bare hail none save for a colored woman who was ione of the hundred thousand and more of negrb jnembers that the Southern Methodists had prior to 1SG1. When, at a later day, be preached in that church as a Bishop, nnd a dozen people." offered him carriages and dinners, he said: "Thank yon, but Iseeyou-der at the back of the church the good colored sister who was tbe only one to give me an invitation when I was here before, and I am going horaa with her now." And he di J. It was the year before be could get tbe recommendation of the Quarterly Conference of the Alt.

Sterling church, and an extorter's license for white people. He had been supporting himself as editor and printer of the Western Watchman, of which James Armstrong, a Methodist merchant, was tbe proprietor. This man, with some other got the young man to come to a private room in Augusta, and. then suddenly let him know that he was there to preach a trial sermon. It was tbe day when to open a Bible, with eyes shut, and to preach from the first text that the finger covered, was considered tbe riht sort of and when "the beaten oil of the sanctuary" was a a big discount The hunters of that day used the long rifle, that few modern men could handle, and the term of almost unspeakable contempt was "he shoots with rwf." For Episcopalians also, the only men who then used written sermons, the phrase was "Them fellers that preach with a rest." Young Kn anauh was not to have a "rest" for his mental and spiritual shots, either of written notes or of prepara tion by thought.

Here was bis little congregation and bis Bible, and he was told to "blaze away." He did, and with such eloquence and earnestness that his critics first wept and then shouted, and from that trial-room be went forth, welcome to any pulpit, and a recognized power in' the Church of God. It is said that John P. Fin ley, then President of, tbe Augusta College, was one of the critics who bent like a reed that day to tbe overwhelming power of tho future Bishop, who. kept always in covenant relations with the Holy Ghost. "President Finley was one of the great preachers of his day.

Mr. H. H. Kavanaugh was recom mended to tbe annual Conference at Mays' viile, in me fail of ib'JZ, and admitted on trial. He was assigned to the "Little Sandy circuit," and was kept for some years in hard fields.

Tbe practice of that day was not to put the tender veal and the sucking calves into tbe best places, but to try tbem first and to give the best places to the oldest men. The reverse is the custom now. The "Boy Preacher" did not think he was too great for a poor place, and at that time people did not start before day and ride ten or fifteen miles over a bad road to hear a fifteen or even a thirty minutes' sermon. A preacher must have something to say, and the people who expected a lawyer to speak for three or five hours did not desire a preacher who ran out of ideas and wind and strength under an hour. to bis death the Bishop kept this power of preaching a long sermon, and of dismissing a congrega tion dissatisfied because it was no longsr.

In this be leaves few imitators. Kentucky was always his home, and there will be no part of it in which readers of the Cocrixk- Jocksal will not recall bis personal infiu ence upon them and their families for good He bas bad the best churches and some of the worst, but has been a blessing from God everywhere, His value was recognized by others, and in February, 1839, Gov. Clark appointed him Superintendent of Public Education, in the dawn of the great movement of that day which bas resulted in oar Common School system. He proved himself as able in organization as he was powerful in pulpit cra- tory, and filled tbt place to Wall that wu asked to continue in it by Got. Wickliffe in the following Administration.

He was also agent for the Augusta College in lS39-'40 as representative of tbe Church. At the General Conference of the M. E. Church, holden at Columbus, in 1S54, be was raised to tbe Episcopal office by the rotes of his peers, and modestly occupied the highest place his Church could offer this side of heaven. To say that' he fully mat all expectations would be to put it moderately, and be was never one of those men who are humble before they get office and so puffed up by it as to suggest the question Upon what meat doth this Dur Caesar feed, Tht he has grown so great? The rather did be fill that divine requirement that "He that would be greatest among you, let him be your servant." He was a natural gentleman, as attractive in personal and social intercourse as he was magnificent in physical endowments.

man ever looked upon his noble face without feeling that his Maker must have put a soul in the man worthy of the outward sign. He did not complete his education as a practical printer, as some have said, but always felt a kindly interest In the craft which be once expected to devote his life to. He Was a Louisville man almost as much as be was a Kentuckian, and was pastor for a term (then not so long as of the old Fourth-street M. E. church, which was removed to the present location on Fif tit and alnut, which again it has almost outgrown.

He was also one of the pastors of I he old Brook-street church, which building the Roman Catholic church afterwards purchased. He was Southern in feeliug as he was in birth and ancestry, and was onco arrested in California at a camp-meeting. Geu. McDowell, who had ordered bis arrest, dis missed him as promptly on bis bare statement of his business and intentions. His average weight was 250 pounds, and his activity and enduranco wera never surpassed in the church that can boast of the manhood of her ministers.

Some severe tests bare been made of bis courage and his but be never failed. If be bad been a General, he would have been a power for tbe side be espoused. If he had been a Statesman, his name would bavo been a na tional one like of Henry Clay or Thomas Benton. As it was, he was a Prince while a i servant in the church, and tbe beiief is not confined to Methodists that he has met his great reward. Even Charles II.

Spurgeon can not show such a sermon record, of 3.880 scrmous from the fall of 1823 to October, 18oO, and ho has doubled that record since. In 10 months, in California, he preached 850 sermon3. Half of that number of speeches, in 1860, put Senator Stephen A. Douglas in his grave. He was a minister for ci years, and a Bishop for 30 years.

and there was no sign of breaking down until about a year ago. Few men have "filled more minds and hearts in the same period, and two women shared bis life-labors in succession. His first wife was MrS. Margaret Crittenden Green, a charming laay, the daughter of Mr. Charles Ratloy, of oodford county.

tSho died in 1SG3, and' he had married ber in lSS. The next was Mrs. Martha D. P. Lewis, the accomplished daughter of Capt.

Blackburn, tho Committee Ad jnurned Without Action Till To-day. John D. White Appears in His Usual Asinine Bole, and ia Sat Down Upon, The Randall Men Weakening Under the Steady Fire of tho'Reve I nue Reformers. GENERAL WASHINGTON NEWS Special to tho Courier-Journal. March 19.

Two questions such importance as tbe Lasker resolution and the Willis Whisky Bill, both advertised for consideration on the same day by tho House sufficed to insure a full attendance of both members and visitors. The Lasker business was disposed of, and, a report 1 i TM i iruui iu3 wuiuiuiuve on elections on ma Garnett-Mayo case having been "laid over -until to-morrow, Mr. Blackburn moved that the House go into a Committee of the Whole for the consideration of the Revenue Bill. Mr. Randall was ou his feet in an instant, showing his teeth and domaudiug the yeas.

-and nays. "Certainly," said Mr. Blackburn, in the -blandest manner, "let us have the yeas and nays." The yeas and nays showed 130 in favor of the proposition and 121 opposed to it. Mr. Dorsheimer, of New York, then took the chair, aiAl the clerk read House bill No.

to extend tbe bonded period of spirits in warehouse. Mr. Hiscock. of New York, in alliance with Mr. Randall, then objected to tho consideration of the bill, and the yeas and nays were again demanded by the opponents ot the bill aud a vote of 137 to US decided that tbe bill should be considered.

At this stage of the proceedings John D. White, who had been absent, put in his appearance and at once moved that the committee rise, that might present to the House a question of privilege. The Chair ruled White out of order, and the ill was read. Mr. Morrison took tbe floor to advocate the measure, but he bad hardly beguu when White interrupted him with a point of order.

White's manner wu most excited, and, leaving bis seat, be pranced down the- aisle toward theo Speaker with bis right band upraised, sawing the air like a wild man. He reviewed bis position upon tbe question of privilege, and was again ruled out of order. Mr. Dorsbefmer's manner of disposing of White was so very nuiet and yet so venr thorough, for the time, that it afforded great enjoyment to the House. Mr.

Morrison arose and began again, and simultaneously White was on bis legs with another point of order. This time he was backed by Brunn, of Pennsylvania, who thought White entitled to be heard on a question of privilege. White, in stating hi point of order, said he would also state what he desired to present upon a question of privilege. "I have observed upon this floor to-day. Mr.

Chairman," said he, iu voice and man ner intended to most awful and impress ive, "a memlier of the whisky rinz, who before he could be admitted had subscribed bis name as an ex-Member of Congress to an obligation that be would not abuse bis privilege in lobbying for any measure before the House, and I have also observed upon this floor tbe editor of tbe COCRIER-JOURXAX, a newspaper publisher in a city where tbe whisky interests are large and influential. I want these two facts Great impatience with White was mani fested by the House as the nied and rutUed Jayhawk of the Tenth Kentucky district turned to take bis seat, and Mr. Blackburn took him at once in baud. 'My colleague," he said, "knew, or ought to have known, that he was not presenting a point of order." This brought White up again, and he shouted a numbeV of unintelligible things back at Mr. Blackburn, and manifested such distraction and violent indignation that the Assistaut Sergenut-at-Arms felt called on to co and speak to him.

Morrison now, without further interruption. proceeded with ser.ous bis remarks. lie made a fair and clear statement of the condition of the great industry asking for relief; explained its relations to the Government, aud showed conclusively that no possible loss could come to the Government by the extension of time asked for.
