called; but which is to apply solely to
the Southern States. Itperpetuates the
Freedman's Bureau under new name,
provides for q horde of Yankee officials
for the South, establishes mixed schools,
to be supported by direct taxation; and,
in effect, transforms the educational
system of the South into a machine for
perpetuating Radicalism. The bill is
declared to be unconstitutional, and it
is certainly iniquitous. Its passage is
doubtful, however.
The Southern Pacific Railroad bill
will probably be taken up in the House
this week. The indications are that it
will pass, whether with or without
amendment cannot be predicted. This
bill has passed the Senate, and was ia
ken from the Speakers table in the
House on Monday last by decisive
vote. There are twenty-f0ur other land
grant bills on the Speakers table, but it
is believed this is the only one which
will be passed this session.
There has been great alarm for some
days concerning the fate of the Tonnes
see, with the San Domingo Commission
on board. All sorts of rumors have been
set afloat, but the naval men here are
confident the Tennessee has safely az
rived at her port of destination. In any
event, it is evident the present Congress
will not be able to take action on the
annexation job; and it is believed the
new House will refuse to cOnsumate it.
This will, it is thought, prove most dis
astrous to Grants aspirations for re-
election.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 10, 1871.
The debate in the House on Friday
over the bill to reinstate q naval con-
structOr named Hanscom was more
animated than dignined. Gen. Banks,
who had taken more whiskey than was
good for him, made a waring stump
speech in behalf of Hanscom, in which
he said:
There is no man more free from guile.
And as regards the evidence which has
been sent here by Admiral Porter
against him, I say to this House that
he is as much superior in the judgment
Of the people of this country in point Of
reputation to Admiral Porter as the
apostle John was to the traitor Judas.
Gen. Farnsworth berated Banks for
bringing Admiral Porter's name into
the discussion.
Mr.. Banks. Admiral POrter's name
came here by his own act, in making
charges against this officer. His letter
is on the records of the House.
Mr.. Farnsworth. The gentleman
should have learned long time ago
the truth of the remark once made by
Justice Dogberry, "that comparisons
are Odorous." Laughter
Mr.. Banks. Is that the judicial au-
thority of the gentleman from Illinois :?

Here is another specimen brick:

man from Maryland Mr.. Archer1 how

this House, to the Navy Department to
ask of the Secretary favor. AS 1 went

and he said to me, "Why the devil
don't you ask Admiral Porter 2"
[Laughter.1
Mr.. Eldridge. "Why the devil didn't
you ask Admiral Porter?"
Mr.. Banks. He had gone out.
Was not this washing of Radical dirty
linen sight for gods and men? But,
with all his faults, Admiral Porter is
the peer of the men who villified him.
His record is quite as good as that of
the bOmb-proof hero of Dutch Gap, or
Of "StOnewall Jackson's quartermas-

Robert Mcknight, an ex-member of
Congress from Pennsylvania, writes to
a Pittsburg paper that as a member of
the committee on Capitol Buildings and
Grounds, he consulted with Clark Mills
as to the possibility of removing from
the head Of the figure of the Goddess
of Liberty which crowns the dome of
the Capitol "the ahominable conglome-
ration of eagle's claws and ostrich feath-
ers which have the effect Of converting
the Goddess of Liberty into an Indian
squaw." Mr.. Mills agreed that it might
be done, and ought to be. Ofcourse he
did. No doubt Mr.. Mills would like
to have one of his equestrian monstrosi-
ties take the place of the Objectionable
Goddess. Mcknight introduced res
olution to effect his purpose, but on OBJ
lection from Mr.. Holman it went over,
and was not considered. The oni,nus
of Mcknight in the matter is shown by
his assertion that the statue "misrepre-
sents liberty, and does represent Jeff
Davis's venom and hostility thereto"
1t would be far more correct to say that
the poor Goddess is an object of hatred
to the cohort of Radicals who assemble
