this statement that the substitute differs

Committee.
Governor Jewell Montgomery Blair.
Governor Jewell, Of Connecticut, was
upon the floor Of the House to-day, and
was presented to number of members.
Report says Hon. Montgomery Blair is
DESTROYS of seat in Congress, and is ar
ranging for the nomination from the fifth
district in Maryland, now represented by
Buffers Speech on the Admission OF
Georgia.
General Butler this afternoon made
weak, rambling speech in favor. Of the neT
bill to admit Georgia. He succeeded in
convincing some members that there is no
necessity for the bill he advocated, and
confirmed the charge made by Bingham and
Farnsworth that the proposed bill would be
aptly entitled bill to prolong the term of
State officers. - ~ E
AS usual, Butler was guilty of several
glaring legal heresies, to which he gave ut
terance with characteristic impudence. His
speech was interlarded with q few coarse
Butlerish eayings, such as "That Farnes-
worth flares up like turkey -gobbler Mt
red rag" but they did not bring the House
down in O roar of laughter, and therefore
failed in their object. He threatened Ten
nessee with taste Of the power of the
House because there were so many
murders committed. Mr.. Hawkins, of
THAT State, wanted to know about
these murders-when and where they
were committed to which the "Great
Lawyer" pertly replied that it was
like man with the small-pox-all over.
In word, the murders were committed all
over the State. This did not excite laugh,
but it did provoke the disgust of lawyers,
! who are Mt loss to know where even q
| legal pretender like Butler could find a
shadow of authority for Congress to punish
State for the crimes against State laws
| committed by her citizens. The debate is
to be continued tomorrow, and vote taken
next Monday. ....s
Disability EsilI--Test Oath.
In the Senate to-day Mr.. Sumner stated
that he had, day or two since, entered q
motion to reconsider the political disabili-
ties bill. He had made this motion at the
request of senator on this floor, and oil
other persons, and the cause was that il
| had been supposed that several names
which were on the bill had been placed
there surreptitiously. He now withdrew
that motion.
Mr.. Robertson, from the Committee or
| Disabilities, reported bill to provide fol
the repeal of the test-oath act.
Petition for Reduction OF Internal
| Taxation.
There were received by members of boil
Houses to-day number of petitions, nu
merousIy signed, from different sections O.
the country, praying that the proposed re
duction of internal taxation be made in tn
income tax. Some of these petitions asl
for the total repeal Of the tax, some for al
increase of the amount of exemption, Will
others ask for an increase Of exemption
and reduction Of the tax.
Many of the members who favor the re
peal of the tax have addressed letters t
their constituents asking them to food Con
gross with petitions Tor the repeal. Frol
present indications these petions will be a
numerous as were the petitions for the abe
lnion of the franking privilege.
The Sale of Cadetsllips.
The Military Committee to-day ez
, amined witnesses upon charges that MI
Churchill, of New York, and Covode,
Pennsylvania, had sold cadetships. Their
was no evidence to sustain the charge
against Mr.. Churchill, but the testimon
shows that Covode appointed boy residin
: outside of his district, but there was L
, money consideration involved.
, Senator Revels has instructed the dool
, keepers of the Senate not to deliver tt
