HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, April z.
The only bill of public interest was reported
from the Military Committee, to allow General
Godfrey Weitzel to accept the office of Trustee
of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad Company,
provided that it does not interfere with the
performance of his official duties in the army.
After good deal of discussion the bill was re-
iected-yeas &c. nays 128.
Some forty private bills were reported and
passed, large majority of them being for PEN
sions for the relief of individuals, including
bills increasing the pensions of widows of Gen
erals Edwin V. Sumner and Lorenzo b.
Thomas; for the relief of the widow of Brig.
Geu. L. Ell. Ransom.
applying to over 200 individuals in loyal states
and aggregating $4,000, was reported back

The House at 2.10 went into committee of

Mr.. Neal of Ohio opposed the bill, asserting
that the committee had not investigated sim
gle claim embraced in it, but had simply acted
on reports from Departments He moved its
recommittal to the Committee on War Claims.
Mr. Eden of Illinois, chairman of the Com
mittee on War Claims, defended the bill and
stated that this same bill passed the House
unanimously at the last session on the report

Temperance Reform-New Hotel, etc.

GoRHAM, N. H., April z, 1876.
To the Editor of the Press:
The temperance reform inaugurated here last
Sunday is succeeding beyond the expecta-
tion of its most sanguine friends. Over three
hundred have already signed the iron.clad
pledge, and many more will follow. A vigor-
Gus club, with Jonathan Jewell as President,
is organized, and the ladies, too, join in earnest
cooperation. One of the most enterprising
old societies in New England, with Mrs. Jona-
than Jewell President, Mrs. John G. Evans, 1st
Vice President, Mrs. D. M. Head, I'd Vice
President, Mrs. Wesley Wight, Treasurer, and
Miss Amelia MCPHERSON, Secretary, is in work
ing operation. The influence of the movement
is felt by ALL our best and most influential citi-
zens rejoice in its success and will render every
aid and encouragement possible. Much credit
is due Mr.. s. f. Pearson, President of the Port
land Reform Club, under whose direction the
club has been organized, for his earnest, manly
and able efforts for the right among us. Full
of animation and vigor, he has infused into the
organization his own spirit and life, and set in
operation one of the best clubs in the country.
Every friend of temperance here has heartily
Joined hands with him, and we now see the
dawn of better day. Success to the reform,
honor to its members. Never may blot mar
its present happy, proud and honorable record.
The Alpine House, burned some three years
since, is to be rebuilt. The workmen will COM
mence operating next week. The new building
is to be of the same capacity as the old house,
will be built upon the old site, and will be COM
pleted for the summer travel.
With new hotel and a.community purged
of its bitterest curse-rum,- we hope to enter
the coming centennial year with brighter pres
poets and increased encouragements. The Re-
form Club and Good Templars are making pre-
parations also for building hall, which will
prove an ornament to the village. Com.

Decision of n Famous Case.

LOUISVILLE, KY, April THE famous do
mestic tragedy suit commonly known as the
Newcomb case has been decided by Chancellor
Bruce in favor of the plaintiff An outline of
the facts is substantially as follows: In 1888
81. D. Newcomb married Miss Cornelia w.
Reed, both then being residents of Louisville.
In 1858 Mrs. Newcomb became insane and was
finally placed in the Massachusetts Hospital at
Louisville by her husband and is now in that
institution, though never judicialy found to be
insane. In 1872 the Kentucky Legislature
passed an act by which an additional ground of
divorce was declared to exist In cases where the
husband or wife is incurably insane and such
insanity is the result of an hereditary taint not
made known at the time of marriage. Under
this act Mr.. Newcomb obtained a divorce, and
some time afterwards was again married and
had two children by the second wife. In 1874
Mr.. Newcomb, who was then president of the
Louisville, Nashville and Great Southern Rail-
road, died. leaving large estate, which he dis
posed of by will.
At this juncture the friends of the first wife
instituted suit, claiming her property rights
to the estate on the ground that she had never
been legally divorced. The case has been in
court more than year and to-day a decision
holding the divorce to be absolutely absolutely
void and decreeing to the first wife Mrs. Cor
nelia w. Newcomb her property rights as the
lawful widow of a. D. Newcomb was rendered.
The result of this decision is to give the first
Mrs Newcomb One-third of her late husbands
personal property, stocks, bonds, money and
the like and dover in lands. The estate, which
exceeds 81 SOC, 900, and the prominent persons
involved in the litigation, has given it an unus-
al interest. The will of Mr.. Newcomb devises
$400 900 10 the children of the second marriage
and to their mother, all of whom are now liy-
ing
The decision does not affect those persons or
invadate the will. An express Kentucky stat
ute removes all questions of the legitimacy of
the children of the second marriage, and re-
lieves them from any such imputatiOn.

Storrs' and RuddinstOn's Protest.
NEW YORK, April AFTER the adoption of
ministers association last evening, DR.. Bud
dington handed in the following protest against
the action of the association:
t Whereas the New York Brooklyn associl-
ton has appointed committee to cooperate
with the commission of the late advisory coun
Gil, so called, for an Investigation against Rev.
Henry w. Beecher. and whereas it is the set
tied conviction of the undersigned that the
calling of that council by church to consider
its administration of discipline In certain cases,
without the agency or concurrence of the per-
son affected by that discipline, is violation of
fundamental principle of Congregational or.
der which regards it as the right of the humb.
lest individual to have part in the selection of
any council by which he or she is to be judged,
and whereas furthermore there is no reason in
our Judgment to think that an investigation
originated thus in injustice and carried out by
an agency hitherto unknown to our churches,
can result in anything more than another of
those superficial inquiries which have already
provoked so much public dissatisfaction
therefore the undersigned members of the asso-
citation, do hereby enter their earnest and SOL
emn protest on grounds both of conscience and
of judgment. against the aforesaid action of
the body, as wrong in principle and likely on
ly to result in increased suspicion and distrust,
and to embarrass the future action of this body
in deciding, as we are solemnly bound to do,
upon the guilt or innocence of Mr.. Beecher.
