CONGRESSIONAL.
Second sessiOn-xL11 Congress

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16, 1872.
In the Senate, on Tuesday, Mr..
Sherman, from the Finance com
mittee, reported bill repeating the
duties on salt and iron, which was
opposed by Mr.. Trumbull, but was
recommitted. A number Of other
important bills were taken up and
considered briefly, but no definite
action was had on them.
In the House, on motion of Mr..
Dawes, a bill was passed for the re-
lief of sufferers by the Chicago fire.
1t provides that all goods, wares
and merchandise sent as conhlbu-
tions for the relief of sufferers by
fires shall be admitted free Of duty
at the port of Chicago, and that
drawback duties shall be allowed on
merchandise used in the construction
or repair of buildings erected on the
burned ground. A bill was passed
appropriating fifty thousand dollars
for making the boundary between
the United States and the posses
sions of Great Britain, from Lake of
the Woods to the summit of the
Rocky Mountains.
On Wednesday, 18th, the House
passed bill fixing the date Of pen
sions at the time of discharge or
death of the soldier and extending
time for application to July lst, 1874.
Bill was passed, after much opposi-
ton, granting a pension to the widow
of a soldier after a second marriage
and in a second widowhood. Bill
was passed permitting the Calcasien
Sulphus and Mining company of
New Orleans to import, free of duty
certain machinery and accompany
ing implements, to be used only in a
series of experiments in mining for
sulphur in the parish Of Calcasien,
value of Importation not to exceed
twenty-five thousand dollars, and
permitting a like importation of ma
ch1nery by any persons employed in
the manufacture Of plate glass, in
the United States.
In the Senate, bills were intro
duced, to admit tea and coffee free
of import duty; to indemnify Ken
lucky and other States for expenses
incurred in defense of the United
States. Sumner again addressed
the Senate on his supplementary
Civil Rights bill. He read mass OF
testimony, such as addresses, meet
ing resolutions, colored con-
yentions, letters from representives
of colOred men and private individ-
uals, setting forth the grievances,
and expressing desire for the imme-
diate passage of the measure. He
read for two hours, and closed with
an appeal for this as an amendment
to the General Amnesty bill, so that
the rebels might always remember
that amnesty came to them coupled
with justice to the colored race.
In the House, a number of pension
bills were passed. A petition was
received from the Society of Friends
asking that arbitration be employed
first in all international disputes.
The Post Office appropriation bill,
appropriating $28, 8,225, ,750, was made
the special order for Wedne day,
oath. Pension appropriation bill
appropriates $3O,480,OOO, and is set
for Thursday 25th. Report of com
mittee giving Broxton of Virginia
a seat was adopted.
In the Senate, Wilson introduced
a bill to allow women to vote in the
territories. After considerable un-
important business, the amnesty bill
came up but was laid aside, when

Deadly Conflict Between an Escaped
Covict aud his Pursuer.

The latest advices from the head
quarters Of the Kern river, Nevada,
where the fight between Charles
Jones, the escaped convict from the
Nevada State prison, and Francis S.
Armstead, who was pursuing him, oc-
Cured, confirm all the particulars at
first received. Armistead was one
of the foremost in the capture of
Roberts, Morton and Black. He
found the track of Jones about fifty
miles from the head of Long Valley,
on the San Joaquin river, and trailed
him to Slawson's sheep camp in vi
dalia, where he was stopping. Ar
misted told Jones that he wanted to
engage man to drive horses to Ari-
zona. Jones hired to him for the
trip, and thus matters rested till
morning.
In the morning Armistead told
Slawson what he was after, and
said he expected to have trouble with
his prisoner. Itseem that Jones had
a supicion of what was going on, for
while the two men were talking he
went to the house took Slawson's
Henry rifle, aud when he came out
said:
"Here, you d--, 1 know
your business. You want to take
me bsck to Nevada, but l will die
first"
With these words he drew up and
fired at Armistead. The fire was in
stantly returned, taking effect in
Jones breast. The fight now began
in dead earnest, and both men being
armed with Henry rifles it was fear
| full. There was almost a constant
stream of fire, and it seemed that
nearly every shot took effect. The
men were about thirty steps apart.
Jones kept giving way andArmistead
followed him until he fell from loss
of blood. Jones then rushed upon
him, but Armistead raised his gun
again and fired, shooting Jones
through the nead ana instantly Kill
ling him.
Armistead had fred fifteen shots
hitting his mark twelve times; while
Jones had fred eleven shots, nine Of
which took effect in the body of Ar
mistead, and neither of the wounds
would probably have proved fatal.
Armistead liAed about two hours
after the fight. He was perfectly
cool and said that if he had killed
Jones he was willing to die. He res
ouested Slawson tc write an account
Of the fight. When he first fell ne
spoke of Aunt Sail and Charley. His
last words were: "Tell her l love-

SENATOR CARPENTER has entered
his protest against Civil Service Re-
form, and other members who were
understood to favor it until it be-
came a veritable reality, take every
occasion ID speak disparagingly of
it. The trouble with this class of
politicians is, that they dread the
effect the loss of so much public
patronage may have upon their pop
ularity, and as a consequence upon
their services as Congressman. Let
the President stand boldly up to the
work, and if the present plan shall
be found impracticable, it may after
all prove the alphabet of success, by
leadingt to something more desirable
and serviceable

As AN excuse for his urging ap-
pointments before he fell out with
the present administration, Senator
Schurz said: "Being ayoung Sena-
tor, I had INDUCED somewhat in the
idea that it was TO some extent
proper to take care Of constituents"
This was his excuse for urging the
claims of Pile, of Missouri, for five
different positions, and so persistent
" that he at last landed him as Gov
ernor of a Territory. Young or old
as a Senator, he was at least old
enough as q man to judge between
right and wrong, or he was not fit
for the position to which he was
chosen. He finds it difficult to ex-
plain away his inconsistencies.

The main building of the Cleve-
land Agricultural ,Works,was burned
on Thursday night Of last week.
The works are located beyond the

from an alarm box. Water was net

fremen were put forth to save the
adjoining buildings. Loss, 100000

with "My trust is in the atoning

with full leave and instructions to

Chicago has just tasted of mob
law. The City Council had in pro
cess of enactment bill establishing
fire limits, in other words, prescrib.
ing certain limits within which the
erection of wooden buildings would
not be permitted. Upon parts oi
this territory large number OF per
sons wished to erect cheap dwellings
and business structures, and it be-
came to their interest to prevent the
passage of the ordinance. With
this view large mob met on the
North Side, and, headed by a brass
band, marched to the council build
ing, bearing banners and transpar.
encies, with sundry vigorous in
seriptions, poured into the Council
building, ovcrran seats and desks
and transformed the place iRto ;
temporary bedlam. The spokesman
of the mob, Mr.. Hessing, mounted {
desk and stated the demands of hi
gang, but before be had finished tn,
crowd outside became unmanageablt
and sent a volley of bricks anC
stones crashing through the win
dows, seriously wounding numbe
of those within. After a perfectly
disgraceful scene, the mob Withdrew
and the Council proceeded with if:
session. The affair has naturally
caused a bitter feeling against tn,
perpetrators, and Chicago is morC
than ever determined that the fir
limits shall be established and de
tended to the bitter end.
