WASHINGTON, 20.
House..
Mr.. Coburn of Ind, offered an amendmen,
to the appropriation bill to pay $1,000 for a
transcript of the Buell. court martial proceed
ings, and in connection with it spoke Of his
having taken ground in the military commit
tee not to take verbal testimony as to the
contents of the missing record. For that
reason hired slanderer in the New York
Tribune had stated that he (Coburn) was
opposed to the administration of the testimony
of a reporter. Immediately on finding that
Mr.. Pitman had possession of the notes he
sent tor him without the request Of anybody,
and without any action of the committee. He
therefore branded as utterly false the report
published by hired slanderer, who occu-
pied seat in the reporters gallery, and who
had once been clerk Of the military commit
tee. From day to day during the examine
ton in the committee, falsehoods had been
uttered, and his only object now in making
this statement was to show that the commit
tee as well as himself, had been uniformly in
favor Of getting at all the truth in the mat
ter.
To the question of Mr.. Townsend. Mr..
Coburn replied that the clerk of the commit
tee who was reporter for the New York
Tribune. had been discharged because he
was not in harmony with the majority OF the
committee, was a poor clerk and kept no
records or minutes.
Mr. Brooks remarked that this was not
ascertainrd until after the Cincinnati conyen-
ton
Mr.. Coburn said the Tribune had charged
him with gross violation of the rules of the
"ciyil service reform" because he discharged
an old and faithful servant, when in fact he
only discharged deputy clerk who was paid
100 per day.
Mr.. Garfield as matter OF justice to the
faithful, intelligent and honorable employee
for four years. A few days after the Gin
cinnati convention, it seems it had been dis
covered that he was an untathful and neffi-
Gent clerk, and he was given notice to quit.
After further discussion the amendment
was agreed to.

Mr.. Shellaberger, Chairman of Com
mittee on Commerce, reported a resolu-
ton directing the committee to inquire
First, whether the commerce among the
States was injuriOusly affected by any
inadequacy in the present means of land
transportation or by any combination or
monopoly in the control or ownership
thereof, or by any excessive or made
quate rates of freight or fare charged by
common carriers, or by other burdens
and restraints imposed by carriers.
Second, whether commerce with for
eign nations and on the coast and waters
of the United Staten, or at any point
thereof, is subjected to any oppressive
or illegal requirements or restraints,
under the quarantine, health or other
laws or customs of any State.
Third, whether at any port .of the
United States, American seamen or for
eign immigrants, on arriving thereat,
are subjected to wrongs or depredations
which require legislation.
Fourth, wha: legislation or other
means are requisite to relieve, revive and
sustain the tonnage and foreign COM
merce of the United States, that the COM
mittee or subcommittee have the pow
er to send for persons and papers, and
sit at such place as will be convenient.
The resolution which was reported was
unanimously adopted.
The House then went into committee
of the whole on the General Civil Ap-
preparation bill.

ment was excluded as out of order
A provision to pay for such advertis-

Baptist Fair and Festival.

The Ladies of the Baptist church have
reason to congratulate themselves upon
the increasing success of their Fair and
Festival, the attendance being larger, the
sales greater, and, of course, with cor
responding increase of profit than on the
first evening.
This being the opening reception of
Gen. Thumb and lady, 1t was, naturally
among the first, of the many objects of
interest, to attract the attention of the
visitor. Both the General and Mrs.
Thumb" were richly and tastefully dress
ed and received in right royal style, and
one unacquainted with the circumstances
would readily have believed that they
were the genuine parties, By special
request they will hold another levee this
evening.
Tho museum or gallery of art and Gu
riosities will well repay visit. 1t is
not, as we understand some apprehend,
a humbug and sell" but it is really
meritorious and valuable collection,
gathered, mainly, by the untiring exer-
tons of Mrs NJ. A. Hitchcock, and
comprises many rare, valuable and
unique specimens, some of which, we
know of our personal knowledge, pos
sess a money value of many hundred
dollars. These rarities have been col
lected only by untiring labor, many pri-
yate cabinets having contributed their
choicest specimens to enrich it, and we
doubt if similar collection could ever
be made again.
Of the other attractions, the old wO-
man in the shoe, the flowers, the advice
trees, the useful and fancy articles, the
supper, etc, we need not especially men,
ton theirmerits being patent to all, and the
ready sales made of each and every of
them sufficiently attesting the apprecia-
ton in which they were held by those
present.
There is one thing, however, we must
not omit to mention--the clam ChOwder
made under the supervision of a caterer
hitherto unknown to fame in that line,
but who last evening established for
himself reputation, that will keep his
services constantly in requisition for the
future. Go and try some tonight.
The usual sale of articles will be
continued this evening, as we'll as
tho other attractions mentioned.
A clam Chowder will again be served
this evening, as well as oysters, meats,
ice cream, hot coffee tea, etc, etc. The
museum will open at ten o'clock this
morning, and remain open during the
day and evening.
