Butler Censured, but not Expelled.
Special Despatch TO The EUentng Telegraph
WASHINGTON, March 17.-Thelcase of r. r.
Butler, of Tennessee came up as the regular
order after the morning hour. At the request of
General Logan the testimony IN the care was all
read by the Clerk, after which the House pro-
ceeded to vote. The substitute offered by
General Logan in favor of expulsion was agreed
to-yeas, 10l; nays, 60.
The Speaker then stated that the House must
vote directly on the question of expulsion, and
that 1t would require two-thirds to expe. The
House, by avote of 102 yeas, to 6S nays, refused
to eXpol Mr.. Butler.
The resolution of censure was then adopted.
THE CONGRESS AND BRooKLYN.-The United
states sloop-of-war Congress, which left the
Navy Yard on the morning of the 18th INST. to
proceed to Boston on her trial trip, stopped at
Chester to procure ballast to bring her "by the
stern" Yesterday she left the latter place. This
vessel is commanded by Captain N. B. Harri-
son. A full list of her officers published in
The TELEGRAPH some days since.
Ever since the close of the Rebellion the
United States frigate Brooklyn has been lying
at the Navy Yard. Recently orders were re-
ceived from Washington authorizing repairs to
be made to her, preparatory to her being ordered
to sea. The Brooklyn is a second class screw
frigate of 2070 tons burden; was built in 1885, at
New York, by Mr.. WestervelI, under the super
vision of the Naval Constructor at that port.
During the late struggle she took an active part,
being first the flagship of Admiral Farragut,
| Senior Officer of the Navy while in command of
the Gulf squadron, and subsequently the flag
! ship of Admiral GodOn (now in command of the
Navy Yard at New York; while commanding the
South Atlantic squadron.
THE FATTED CALF KILLED.-A few days ago
we published the mysterious disappearance of
one Joseph Lnderman, alias BELL" q butcher
at Taffn tuifh
| $2100 in cash in his possession. Yesterday the
! mystery was partly cleared up by the return of
| Joseph, who it appears had been spending the
time at Milford, Del, but with whom he does
not know. He had on him a new suit of
clothes and the greater portion of the cash.
Maybe there wasn't rejoicing in that family over
the return of Joseph; maybe the fatted calf was
not killed, dressed, and served up; maybe the
children didn't sing, "Oh, no no all for Joel"
Maybe not.
HEAVY RoBBERY.-At Sixth and York streets,
on tuesday night, was committed a deed of
violence which has had the effect of awakening
the whole police force, and which for audacity
and completeness has scarcely ever been eXcelled.
At the point named is grocery store and
dwelling combined. Into this dwelling on Tues
day night some desperate burglars effected an
entrance by prying open the back window
shutter. Once inside they proceeded to the
bedroom of the inmates, opened the door by
means of nippers, entered the apartment and,
horrible to relate, stole SO in cash. For further
| particulars see small bills.
THE KNIFE.-Late last evening a citizen,
whilst proceeding along Tenth street, near
Locust, was attacked by two ruffians named
beaten. Finding the stranger was getting off
| rather easy, McComb drew from his pocket q
| knife and inflicted fearful wound on his right
cheek laying it open from the cheek-bone to
the mouth. An officer arriving McComb was
taken into custody but McGeary escaped. The
former will have hearing to-day before Alder
man Kerr.
"SHERIDAN's RIDE."-Mr. T. Buchanan
Reads picture of Sheridans famous ride has
made great and almost unprecedented sensa-
tion. 1t is visited by crowds of persons every
day, and it is gratifying to know that the artist
| will receive handsome sum by the exhibition.
Mr. T. B. Pugh, who has the picture in charge,
will take 1t to other cities after the exhibition in
this city closes, and with his skilful manage
ment it will doubtless attract as much notice
elsewhere as it has in Philadelphia.
THE "STAR" COURSE OF LECTURES

humorist and poet, John G. SAKE, who will
appear at the Academy of Music on Monday
