The House OF Representatives were engaged all
day, and they still at it, (haf past III O'clock
p. NJ In discussing every subject which could
possibly be imagned-the war, Texan annexation,
the veto, the Wilmot pro,iso, the Sierra Madre
public, that is to be, Father Richie, Cave Johnson,
&C., &c, &c. The pretext for all this trade, was
the bill making appropriations for the army; but as
a matter Of course, the bill was not even alluded
to. The most important point # the discussion
was that referring 10 the rumOr of the movement
for the new Mexican republic, and Gen. Shields
connection with it. We stated yesterday, that 1t
was impossible that gallant officer had anything to
do with it; and 1t will be seen, by reference to the
debate, that Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, confirms
what We stated. Mr.. Venable also deni.d that the
President or the executive knew anything of the
movements and that they did not believe there was
any truth in it, After all, it is more than probable
that the mares nest discovered by the L,teigencer

The report that the body of o. d. Pearse, who

A lad OF about nine years, the son OF Edward
Merrlck, of this city, was drowned last evening
by accidentally falling into the canal at Mana
yunk.
George Day, an interesting lad about twelve
years old, was fatally injured yesterday afternoon
on the Market street railroad, by falling upon the
track from a train that had just started, while in
the act of climbing up between two OF the cars.
The weight of the cars came upon his abdomen
and injured him internally, tearing the integu-
ments without making any outward wound His
left wrist was also crushed. He fingered until
about SIX o'clock this morning, when he was re-
leased from his sufIerings by death.
A considerable disturbance occurred on the
wharves this afternoon, occasloned by the efforts
of some of our Quaker abotlonists to rescue
some reputed slaves, three women. and man, who,
having arrived here from the West lndies whence
they had been forced to fly by the disturbances,
were on their way to the Baltimore boat to pro-
coed South. They were IN company with the
planters family in which they had been raised,
and the Qualers, assisted by crowd OF negroes,
attempted TO prevent their gong on board the boat.
The planters denied their being slaves, stating
they were free to go If they pleased but they
evinced no disposition to leave, preierring to re-
main with the family by whom they had been
reared, rather then desert them IN the hour of
trouble. The police were the spot and pre-
vented any interference by the mob, who would
otherwise have taken them ashore by force. Just
after the boat had pushed of an officer came
down with a.wrt OF habcas corpus, obtained for
the purpose of ascertanlng whether the reputed

The JThigs and the DcmoGacy--A Meeting of each
Party-IRc Cas- and Butler Procession Iri-
umphant.
There were two political meetings in the city,
to-night--a wing and a democratic gathering
The wing speaking was done from the platform
erected In the open square at Seventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue. They had some good
speeches, and very respectable meeting, numerI-
calIy and otherwise. The democrats made quite
a demonstration. They proceeded to the avenue,
up to their platform, 18th street, with music,
transparencIes, and clusters Of paper lanterns on
long slaves held aloft Near the stand they had
shower of sky.rockets and opposite bonfire was
lit up in the street. Some two or three thousand
persons assembled to see and hear what all this
ssnifed. Father Richie presided Several
speeches were delivered; Senator Allen closing
the talk, when, by order, the procession with its
transparences and lanterns recognised, and
to crow the wing meeting down As the process
sion passed by the wing gathering in all the pomp
of fife and drum, Illuminated pictures, and paper
lanterns, the wing band struck up and played most
manfuy in opposition, greeting the Cass and But
Ter battalion with all sorts of groans, gibes and
anathemas. laughter and imprecations, savage and
bellicose. The democracy retorted in the same
spirit and the shouts for Cass and Taylor groans
cheers and hard swearing were cotemporane GUS
extemporaneous, nexplicable, and exceedingly RI
dicnlous There was no hostile collision however
The procession passed on without harm down to
Jackson Hall, near the United States Hotel, where
Gen. Butler is quartercd, where from another plat
tom, the people were addressed by Col X. M.
johnson, Gen Sam Houston, Senator Bright. Capt
Dan Drake IIenrie. The boys meantime lighted up
a large bonfire in the street. We shall send you
a lively report of this democratic demonstration
tomorrow. 1t certainly took the wings by sur
prise, and carried the town by storm. One Of the
corps has also attended to the wings. w.

WASHINGTON, August 4, 1913.
The Senate, by an unusual effort of generosity,
to-day passed a bill giving Capt. ---- a
pension of thirty dollars month for the remainder
of his life. Capt. was a brave and
mertonous officer and served in the Tennessee
Provisional regiment. In one of the brilliant en-
gagements under Gen. Taylor he was so severely
wounded that his recovery may be deemed as
miraculous as that of Gen. Shields. He received
ball in his right eye, which passed through his
| head and came out at the back of his neck. In
addition TO this, he received severe wound in
his cheek. The doctors certificate states that he
incapa ctated from being able to earn his living;
and besides the Disagreement, he suffers intense
pain at tlmes-portlons OF bone constantly coming
| away Here, then, is the case of brave and
honorable man, whose life has been rendered
worse than useless In the service of his country;
and, as a reward, he receives the pittance Of less
than dollar day Congress annually gives
away thousands of dollars for nothing, under the
pre- tence OF "extra compensation" but when
gallant and melrtorlous officer solicits wherewilh
to keep HIM from starving, they dole him out
sum far less than they pay to the commonest
servant in their employment. Out upon such
charity 1t is as unbecoming in the American
Senate as 1t Is inadequate Tor the comfortable
maintenance of the brave, but unfortunate re-
ciplent.
