breech loading muskets, or muskets

leaders, had been sold in such quantl-
ties as to impair the defensive capacity
of the country in time Of war.
Mr.. Harlan said Sumner s argument
to-day was as baseless Of facts, partlcu-
larly the subject matter, as all his
other speeches since the debate com,
menced. He (HarlaD) maintained
that the ordnance officials had acted
in strict compliance with the law, and
had no discretion in the matter. Sixteen
millions of dollars had been paid into
the Treasury on account Of the sales,
which was subject of some concern 10
the taxpayers Of the nation, although II
seemed to be none to Sumner. Mr.
Harlan further said that the country
was not defenseless ; that there were
over 800 900 stand OF arms in the de-
pots. In reference to the general order
business, he denied the responsibility OF
the President. He said that Leet and
Stocking were not Government officers
they were proprietors Of private ware
houses and the merchants made their
own bargains with them. Neither the
law nor regulations fixed any maximum
price for storage.
Mr.. Carpenter next obtained the floor,

spoke briefly against the bill, and was
followed by Messrs. Eldridge, Banks
aud others in short speeches In Its
favor.
The previous question having been
seconded, Mr.. Holman moved to lay the
bill on the table, which was negatIyed
by vote Of 10 TO 90.
Mr.. Holman asked Mr.. Rusk, who
had charge of the bill, to allow him TO
introduce his amendment, which pro-
vides that this bill shall be construed
as granting such lands only as would
otherwise have Injured TO the Northern
Pacific railroad.
Mr.. Rusk refused to admit the amend
ment.
Mr.. Holman then appealed for unan-
imous consent that one hour debate
might be had before taking the vote on
the bill.
Mr.. Peters objected, whereupon Mr..
Cox, Of New York, moved that the
House adjourn, which was not agreed
to, by vote OF 9G to IS.
Several dlatory motions were made
by Messrs. Holman, Beatty and Stevens
which were successfully voted down.
Mr.. Holman again asked leave to in
troduce his amendment, but Mr.. Rusk
declined.
The motion to adjourn prevailed, at
} P. NJ, and the bill went over until

different shapes. One night last week,
after the Philadelphia express left
Tyrone station, his satanic majesty got
on the engine with Sol. Hofmaster. He
looked around for a moment, then TAX
ing the poker from the fireman, opened
the fire door and stirred the fire,
at the same time sticking his feet in.
He then sat down, stretching out
his immense legs and bringing hIs tail
around, laid it between his cloven hoOfs
Sometimes wings could be seen about

about the FIRE; sometimes he would
put his head in the fire box and look
around, then throw in his tail, stirring
the FIRE at a rapid rate. By this time
he had got warmed up, and 50 had the
engineer and fireman. who were nearly
scared TO death. The engine was
making about thirty-fye miles an hour

let him off at bridge No. ); Mr.. H.,

other equipments. The conductor, en-
gineer, fireman and brakeman all saw
and heard the train coming. The flag
man, John K. Newell, Immediately
went back with a light and placed
signalcaps about the rails. The phan.

twinkling, the whole thing disap
