Con gress---Extra Session.


WASHINGTON, July 13, 1871.
The House has 55cn distn gushing itself today
by almost unexamped despatch in it's operations
and in fact it has, for some days past rather left
the Senate in the shade. After listening TO a speech
from Browne, ofN. Y this morning on the McI.a
cd resolutions, the House went into Committee OF
the wh"le-Mr Adams in The chair--and took up
the bill which appropriates S 3S ,666 the pay.
ment OF the navy pensioners, as provided by the
acto 1887. A number Of speeches made, a
mong which WAS an able and concise one from Mr.
Calhoun, in favor oflhe bill. Several amendments
were offered and rejected, but the bill went brisk
ly through, was reported to the House, and passed
without a division "A good deal of discussion a.
rose upon the question Of repeating so much of the
act of 1887 as allows pensions to the widows and
orphans of officers and seamen who are actually
disabled by service, in the of which Mr. AID
ans after the bill reported, made a very efIec-
nvespeech against the repeal. He said The bill of37
had been passed without due consideration, and un'
der circumstances unfavorable to proper under
standing of lis meris-but that very fast ought to
be sufficient to deter the House for acting on the
repeal with equal haste, which they seem disposed
to do Mr.. Adams's remarks displayed his usual
thorough acquaintance with the subject, both his
toricaIly and pbiIosophicay. II sounds rather
odd to hear that the House in danger OF acting
too hastily but there is really more danger of that
at present than OF the tedious delays of which
they and every body else completely tired,
Mr. Wise said the Naval Committee had determin.
ed to bring forward bill repair as far as posi-.

REV. Z. X. AvERY-A correspondent of the
Morning Post, writing from Rhode Island, gives
some information relative to this once notorious
parsonage, that will be read with interest by all
who remember his trial for the murder of creature
named Sarah Maria Cornell. At the time when
Mr. Avery wasa arrested, in accounting for his alb
sence from his family on the night Of the Goth
December i S32, he stated that he had been on a
visit to some coal mines, that his return he
beated accidentally till it too late to the
ferry between Portsmouth and Bristol end that
therefore, he compelled to sleep at the ferry
house. The fact proved by the ferry man, but
still it did not account for all the absent time. He
further stated that, about sunset, he met boy in
the fields of Portsmouth, of whom he inquired the
way to the Ferry. If this boy could have been pro-
duced in court, Mr. Avery would hive been instant.
ly acquitted. Every effort was made to find the
bow, without success. But the boy, now young
man, is sti living, is the town of Bristol, and
the correspondent Of the Post says he stands ready
to corrobeiate The statements of MIR Avery. His
affidavit has been taken by magistrate Of the
town of Bristol; and the reasons Why he did not
present himself at Averys trial. and obtain the
immediate acquittal of that individual, as far as
they go, are said To have been satisfactorily given.
The writer in the Post well remarks that if this
witness can be relied on, and his character is said
to be unimpeachable, no man can hereafter doubt
that the Rev. Ephrajm X. Avery perfectly
innocent of the murder of Sarah Maria Cornell
We have never since the termination of the trial
had any doubt in regard to the mater, Mr. Avery
a clergyman, and no more was needed to in
duce a certain kind Of persecution, of which he
reaped liberal harvest.-BoSt0R Times.

DEAD DEBT.

DEAD Deb l..
The suggestion of Mr. Webster, to open accounts
anew from the 18th Of March, 1871, runs curiousy in
conflict with the computations and Vaccinations of the
Secretary of the Treasury.
The latter predicts balance Of 1894 213 in the
Treasury at the close of the year 1884, after all pay
ments whatever Nevertheless, he comes forward
with proposition for five million more Treasury
notes. Assurcdy this later computation must work
out this first idea
Be that as il may, his prediction originally at
fault, and this somewhat by his own showing See
p. 8, Report"
The Departments calculate that sc, 66 D of the
old appropriations will be required"
They propose to apply about $3, 49,9ofof them
to the service" of 1871
The residue, amounting to Sl3s,s7s, it is expected
will 90 to the surplus fund"
They estimate the whole of them TO be $lO,5i9,-
9O5"
Thus, the first sum- he conicsses, will be required
The next, he proposes to apply in lS4l. The third
rle he expects will 90 the surplus fund.- but of the
fourth he estimates nothing further OF course the
balance some six millions and half of these old
appropriations" will become quite aged in 1912.
1t is apparent, therefore, that Mr.. Webster must
yield to the circumstances of the case There is no
reasoning beyond such premises, except they be en-
rey rejected and perhaps for the honor and credit Of
the country its well such conclusion should be adopt
ed These cold appropriations may be found not
only to exceed tho estimate y but be Of highly
obligatory nature. Not the less that their iquida
ton has been postponed until they old"
Mr. Woodbury. would commingc these old ebliga-
tons with the new appropriations Of 1871 and pro
poses their further postponement to 1912
This SLOW poison to operate a long time afterwards
does not accord with Mr.. Websers proposition,
which, perhaps, may be aided by the following sug
gestion:
In the appropriation bills of this year change the
designation, phroseology heads of appropriations
The accounts Of the next administration can then be
kept separate and distinct from the {" old appropria
tons, which may possibly entail arrearages debts and
the nation, without the addition OF any new appropr
alton for the service of 1911
These arrcarages would have then to be arranged
out of the balances of the old appropriations
ponding with the purposes and periods when they &C
crued If insufficient, doubtless they will be- the
fact will thus appear and the evil may be known and
corrected Fin lmino Not left TO entwino itself and
cripple the operations Of 1871, and Of years after,
without becoming apparent how wherefore the re-
suit produced
Thus also the actual amount of debt ascertanej
