THE CASE OF GEN. HOWARD.

NEEDLESS DISCUSSION IN THE HoUsE-A REsoLU-

GEN. HowARD's CONDUCT.
lBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-A long and needless dis
cussiOn in the House to-day, upon the resou-
ton for court Of inquiry into the conduct of Gen
o. o. Howard, which was reported by the Military
Committee. Mr. Frye offered an amendment giving
Gen. Howard the same right of challenge allowed
accused persons tried by urt-martial. Although
il was shown by a dispatch from the War Depart
ment, that this right existed under all inerpreta-
tons of military law and was never denied by o
court of inquiry. the Republicans absurdlv made the
adoption of the amendment a party question A
number of enthusiastic gentlemen, who seldom have
an opportunity to get the floor, made the most of
the occasion to shake the starspanged banner over
the House. talk about the batte-feds of the South,
war-worn veterans, wounds tattered flags and the
like and to express rather fulsome laudation Of
Gen. Howards character and services This was
excusable in Mr. Frye, who set the example, for Gen.
Howard was his classmate in college and his init
mate friend but after half-doz members had
wearsome and warranted Mr.. Coburn's impatient
expression that he did see what OH earth il all

be good evidence, would seem to be so conclusive
proof that the Committee did not make a fair anu
thorough investigation that no one wonld care 10
undertake its defense. Messrs. Townsend and Hoar'
however, took pains To inform the House
that they served on the Committee. n circumstance
which most members had forgotten, and asserted
with some warmth that it did its work diligently
and impartially Mr. Hoar, after 4 culogy OF Gen.
Howard, made an ugly thrust at Mr. Wood by say
ing that he Gen. Howard had never pleaded the
statute of limitations, obvious reference to some
occurrence in Mr.. Woods personal history. Mr..
Wood retorted that during the whole of the nvesl-
cation the gentleman from Massachusetts, had been
the friend ADVISER counsel, and small legal trick
ster of the accused" Cries OF order came up from
the Republican side IL withdraw the word
trickster," said Mr.. Wood. perceiving that he had
overstepped parliamentary rules. At this moment
the two hours allotted the debate expired and the
Speaker stopped further personalities by immedi-
ately putting the question. Mr.. Fryc's amendment
adopted by almost strict party vote, and the
resolution as amended was adopted without a
division.
The absurdity of the whole wraDgle over the
amendment will be manifest when it is stated that
it was entirely unnecessary all authorities on mill
tary law agreeing that the right of challenge exists
in q court of inquiry just TIE same as IN court
martial De Hart IN a standard work on the sub
ject says 1t seems TO be a settled principle that
member of court of inquiry may be challenged for
cause by either party" Benet, later authority,
says: 1.-THE same right to challenge exists in court
of inquiry as in the case of a courtmartial" and yet
Gen. Howard wrote letter to Mr.. Frye, which was
read at the beginning of the debate. asking that he
might be given by special legislation right he
already possessed, and the House wasted two hours
discussing the proprety of granting his request.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-The House Appropriation
Committee has begun the work of retrenching the
expenses of Congress but they will not have accom-
pshed their whole duty if they omit to inquire
about the employment of men about the Capitol
how many there are, how much they are
paid. and what their duties are; whether
there are more doorkeepers than there are
doors and whether there are persons on
the rolls who never do any work. 1t would
also be well for the Committee to look into the fact
that the Capitol police costs S5s,256 annually, and
learn what duty the force performed, except to
walk about the Hobbies of the Capitol. This force
consists of captain at 50 0Ss year; three lieuten-
ants at 81 800 each; % privates at Sl54 each, and
watchmen at 81 900 each. These men are on duty
while Congress is in session. but are rarely seen
during the recess The salaries therefore, rather

The Committee had before them to-day for con-
eideratiOn TO the expenses OF the House MI But
fnton Chairman of the Committee on Contingent
Expenses and Mr.. Mcpherson, Clerk of the House.
They were questioned as to all the sources OF ex-
penditures and the subject was very fully consid-
cred. Mr.. Mcpherson had prepared statement
containing his ideas to where expenditures might
be reduced, and his suggestions, 1t IS understood
were agreed TO. Hitherto, for several years,

exclusive of the salaries of members have amounted
to over $500 900 year The expenses of the folding
room alone reach 100000 year. This heavy in
cubus will be cut down just hall, partly on the
ground of economy and partly because the abolition
of the frankng privilege and the abridgment OF
document printing leaves less work to be done.
Some of the persons having little to do abont the
House have discovered that it costs the Government
40 cents to wrap for mailing every volume issued
from the Capitol Twenty-Five thousand is cut off
in the matter of contested elections for the payment
of expenses, &c, which was in reality done last
session; aud $4,000 in miscellaneous matters, such
as fuel. &C. as the next session will be short one
and less will be used. The Committee therefore
will reduce the estimates of expenses of the House
$1,000 the fiscal year beginning July 1874.
