ed its organizations Mr. Adams md Mr. Wise
having agltated abolition to the entire waste OF
that much time, leaving the real question OF alb

Yesterday the House took up the bill for the
relief of the representatives. Of Gen. 1arris0n.-
Mr.. Adams, the Chairman of tho committee that
reported tho bill, explained its principles III on
eloquen, and brief speech. After he sa: down.
debate sprung up that continued TIL n late ho"r
when an adjournment prevailed Mr.. Dean, Of
Ohio, n member from State, hycna-hke,
sought to prey upon the dead. he made vulgar,
Malignant and abusive attack upon the reputa-
ton Of Gen. Harrison, and IN opposition to the
bill, and most disgusting 10 many OF his political
friends, with his low and scurrilous party slang.
Mr. Lano and Mr. White, of Indiana. indignant
" indicated tho character of Gen Harrison, and
poured forth a torrent of whitening surcasm upon
Me Dean, which he will long feel and remember.
MIR. Pondleton, of our city; General Stokely, OF
Stcubenvile and Mr.. Briggs, of Massachusetts,
defended and sustained the reputation Of Gen
Harrison with animated ability. To-day the bill
has been again discussed, but my engagements
out Of the House prevented me from hearing It

having finally passed by majority of think 80.
1t pppropriaies $50, 900, the years salary. This
will meet a hearty responce throughout the ma
ton and will no donbt pass the Senate. Many
of the opposition party, much to their credit sup
ported the appropriation as an act OF Justce, to
make the estate Of tho late President whole, for
his expenditures in tho public servico-amongst
these were Gen Ward of New York, and Bid
lack of Pennsyi vana.
The Sub-Treasury bill, which has passed the
Senate it is supposed will next engage the attcn-
ton of the House. 1t will pass.
A Bankrup, bill, too only subject not recon-
mended by the President that is admitted by the
rules of the House, is gaining friends, and some
hopes arc entertained of Its passage.

vary some of tho details of Mr.. Ewing's plan,
though probably not in any essential particulars.

The appointing power is again in motion; n
large number of nominations have been sent TO the
Senate, and il is said what removals required
will be now promptly made. There is still too
much scramble for office, and great difficulty IS
found in making selections. Some bad appoint

that Bears appointment has been recalled by the
Secretary Of War; and that McIlvaine will be re-
instated. hope this may prove ,rue-l say So.
