terrible burning, if not horrible death,

flames. Fortunately the mother of the

serious injury was sustained.

CONGRESS TODAY

This has been an exciting day in the Senate
wing Of the Capitol Senator Lane, OF Kan
sas, in an emphatic speech, planted himself
squarely on the Presidents platform, and in
doing so, said he would hereafter be found de-
tending President johnson from the unjust as
saults made upon him, as he before defended
President Lincoln from similar assaults by
Senator Wade. Mr.. Wade replied with heat,
which brought Mr.. Lane upon his feet again,
and then followed peppery conversational
discussion between these gentlemen which
created something of a sensation on the floor
and in the galleries. When we left, Mr.. Doo-
little had the floor. and the understanding was
that vote ION the veto question: would De
taken at p. m. The floor and galleries were
crowded by Representatives and spectators
in anticipation of that event. Mr. Wright, OF
New Jersey, is in his seat to-day, but Mr. Dix.
on, of Connecticut, is not present, though it is
understood that he will be forthcoming when
the vote is taken.
The House is occupied with the Brooks
Dodge contested election case.

WHITE HOUSE RECEPTION

The reception by the ladies of the White
House this afternoon was very select and
agreeable, and was attended by quite a large
number of distinguished ladies and gentlemen
Notwithstanding that about the time the doors
were opened heavy shower arose The sud.
den appearance of the rain doubtless induced
many Of those who meditated a pleasant walk
to the Presidential Mansion to relinquish the
intention. The splendid conservatory at
tached to the Mansion was open to visitors.
and was filled with admirers of its floral beau
ties and delicate perfumes.
Mrs. Patterson and Mrs. Slower received
their friends and callers in the usual reception
room, with that cordiality of greeting and
graceful ease OF manner which have so dis
tinguished these fair presiding officers of the
Executive household. Among the visitors of
note who paid their repects to the ladies were:
the Postmaster General and Mrs. Dennison,
the Attorney General and Mrs. Speed, Mrs.
Secretary Z. M. Stanton, Surgeon General ].
X. Barnes and Mrs. Barnes, Madame Roest de

NTMBER OF TROOPS, PRISONERS, &c.
WHICH PASSED. THROUGH THIS CITY
DURING THE REBELLION.

BY permission of Maj. T.. M. Camp, command.
ing for the past three years at Soldiers Rest, -
we have made the following abstract from the
books OF his office, showing the number of
troops and Government employees received
there from the date of Its establis hment as
receiving and distributing post, in April
1861, to list March, 1866:
New organizations, recruits, con scripts, and
substitutes for the same, 65l. 9l4: convaIescents
from hospitals, to be forwarded 10 their resi
ments, 79152 exchanged prisoners, IO,59s; pa.
rolled prisoners, 920 rebel prisoners, 1885, de-
serters ISL; stragglers, 10, 7C6; detachments of
Veteran Reserve Corps, 1885, furious hed men
gong home, 46,3l5 veterans reinlsted, II. 42I:
Government employees, (civilians,) 4,595: men
OF old organizations, including detached mar
ties, en- route to various points, and regiments
whose term of service has expired, 576S33
Total, 1,419 763-or nearly one and half mil
lions. This number does not include those
who passed directly through the city, but is
the actual number passing through the aRest,''
where quarters were furnished. Probably the
whole would foot up nearly two millions
In this connection we may state that the post
under the command of Major Camp, has been
admirably managed, and that the Major who
came out in the seth New York volunteers
has shown rare qualifications for his posi-
ton.
