and IwIggs, whom former Congresses had pro-
nounced worthy of these honors and emoluments.
Mr. GIDDINGs said his colleague would take care
of the General, but neglect the rank and file He
voted to give Gen. Scott and other generals pen
sions, but he opposed granting a pttance to the
soldiers who fought in 1872, who had rendered as
meritorOus services as Gen. Scott. He denounced
the whole army system as an eXcrescence-
Mr. Nichols replied energetcally, defending the
consistency of his course He disliked these ad
cdptondum arguments, appealing to the poor
against the rich. The poor men of his district,
who had fought in 1872, rendered their services
freely and gratefully, and without any hope of re-
ward They were the last to be envious of honors
and emoluments conferred upon men who had de-
voted their lives to the military service of their
country.
The amendment of Mr. FAULKNER was re-
jected
Mr.. Faulkner, of Virginia, said he had been in
structed by the Committee of Military Affairs
to move an amendment reducing the appro-
priation for the regular supplies of the
Quartermaster's Department from 81 $4,000 to
81 10000. He thought the estimate of animals
required for the public service too high by four
thousand head and at the allowance of SlOO each,
the reduction would be 100000. The amendment
agreed to.
Mr. MAYNARD moved to strike out the appropria-
tion for picket ropes. He satirized the immense
display of economy made by the retrenchment and
reform Democrats over small items He thought it
absurd to make an appropriation for ropes with
which to tie up the horses of the dragons.
Mr.. REAGAN said the gentleman's remarks showed
his ignorance of the requirements of frontier life
Mr. SMITH, of Virginia, said the gentleman ev-
Mr.. Faulkner, of Virginia, said he was instruct
ed by the Military Committee to offer an amend
ment, reducing the appropriation of S50OOO0 for
incidental expenses Of the Quartermaster's Depart
ment to S45O,O0O. There were 1000 employees
connected with that department, and he thought
their number should be reduced.
The Committee without coming to any con-
clusion with the bill.
On motion of Mr.. NICHOLS committee was ap-
pointed to examine into the truth of the charge
made by the correspondent of the New ork Tunes,

entered into an arrangement, and received money,

From Washington.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The Hon. Fayette McMul-
lin resigned to-day his Government ship of Wash
ington Territory.
From the Reporter of the Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The President transmit
ted to the House to-day similar message to that
sent to the Senate, asking Congress to entrust
him with extraordinary powers for the protection
of the lives and property of American citizens, but
it not laid before the former body. 1t took the
Senators generally by surprise The large number
of the general appropriation bills yet to be acted
upon, including those for the Army and Navy, Post
Office, Miscellaneous and Ocean Mail Service, which
together with measures for relieving the Treasury,
and other Subjects will have to be crowded into as
many hours usually devoted to legislation as
there should be days for their intelligent considera-
tion.
There is strong probability that the Committee
OF Of Ways and Means will report one or more tariff
bills next Monday. The indications more favor
able that revised tariff will pass the House at
least The Senate is more doubtful. 1t is said that
Mr.. Phelps is determined to bring up his bill, and
trust to the current of the House. The Morrel BILL
In many OF its specifics, places part of the duty on
weight and part on value, obviating the usual OBJ
ections by the enemies of specific duties, that the
poor man pays as much DUTY under
them on his cloth as the rich man pays on his.
Under this bill duties are much lower on low
priced articles than on fine. The prisciple
prevails in cottons, silks, and linens, the common
qualities thus paying less than the more expensive.
IL Is sald tat experienced men concede that 1t can
be executed at a much less per centum than the
present revenue law. They estimate that on an
average importation of goods, which, under the
present tariff would realize S4s,00O,OOO, would
under this bill realize S60OOO,OOO. Its average
rate of duties will be less than the average under
the tariff of 1876, but WILL it is claimed, be more
satisfactory in its determinations the various in
! terests of the country. Such are the representa-
tions of its friends.
Letters received here by the overland mail show
that the Gila and Apache Indians in Arizona are
becoming more troublesome. They had killed two
Americans and several Mexicans, and ran off the
animals of the Indian Agent, and those of Captain
Enell, of the military post.

Smith, had hearing before the Mayor. Itappears
that Bush and Smith are both engaged in hauling
sopfrom the distllery of Messrs Hazlehurst Fields
on Holiday street, near Centre street. They went
there yesterday morning and alteration took
place. In backing up the carts, the wheels became
locked in each other, and Smith struck Bush's
horse with whip, when Bush picked up a wooden
mallet, threw it, and struck Smith on the side of
head, inficting wound. Smith immedi-
ately started for the st ation-house and informed
Captain Mitchell of the occurrence. Officers John
Shearer and John Mallory sent in pursuit of
Bush and arrested him on the Hartford road. Smith
remained at the police station, and DR.. H. Ii. =.

nounced it of most dangerous character. The Mayor
refused bail in the case, and the witnesses were
held for an immediate appearance before the Grand
Jury. Up to yesterday evening Smith was still
at the station house, and was in very low cond-
ton.
Patrick Mckenna was arrested yesterday on the
charge of assauting his wife and pouring scalding
coffee upon her. Some few days since the fact Of
Mrs. McKenna being scaded was noticed but at
the time it stated that she had fell with the
coffee pot in her hand, and the contents had been
emptied on her person. Now it appears that her
husband struck her, knocking her down, and while
lying the floor he poured the contents of coffee
pot, which he took from the stove, over her face
and breast, scalding her most fearfully. He was
arrested yesterday on warrant which was issued
