CONGRESSIONAL.
Yesterdays Doings in the Ma.
tional Legislature.
SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 30.-Hoar read a
communication from the Commissioner
of Pensions in regard to the applica-
tion of a soldier for pension not hav-
ing been acted ON on account of the in
sufficient clerical force in the Office of
the Surgeon General, where the hospi-
tai records Of the army are kept. Hoar,
Edmunds and ingalls, commented on
the delay in acting upon pension cases,
and argued that it was caused by the
Democratic party reducing appropria-
tions.
Davis read from the report of Jencke's
committee, made to the House of Rep
resentatives, to the effect that three
persons had been detailed from the
pension office to act as clerks of the
Republican Congressional committee of
this city.
Window stated that the clerical force
Of the Surgeon Generals office in 1876
was 169, and that it was then cut down
in the general reduction that year to
135. Last year, however, the force was
increased by detailing 20 enlisted men
for duty in that office.
Pending discussion the morning hour
expired and consideration was resumed
of unfinished business, the silver bill.
Christiancy submitted an amendment
in the nature of a substitute, provid-
ing for the coinage of silver dollars of
434 9-10 grains pure silver, and one
tenth alloy, which shall be legal tender
for all debts; except when otherwise
provided by law or contract. 1t also
authorizes the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry to purchase monthly not less than
S2,000,00 nor more than S4,000,O
worth of silver bullion to be coined.
1t further provides that the act shall
remain in force but one year. Ordered
printed. Christiancy then spoke in 1e-
gard to his amendment.
Christiancy read long argument in
support of his substitute, after which
Allison said he would Insist upon the
disposition of the bill tomorrow or
Friday. salisbury thought full dis
cussion ought to be obtained. Ad-
journed.
HOUSE.
Washington, Jan. 30.-The House
went into committee of the whole to
consider the bill extending the time for
the withdrawal of distilled spirits now
in bond until July 1st, 1873.
Buffers amendment, providing that
when spirits are withdrawn from bond
the tax shall be collected at the rate
required by law and the time of its en-
try into bond was adopted.
Fosters substitute for the original
proposition, declaring reduction of
tax on whisky inexpedient, was
adopted.
After discussion the House sustained
the action of the committee in adopting
the substitute declaring it inexpedient
to reduce the tax on whisky, yeas 146,
nays 112, and the title was changed ac-
cordingly.
Davis, IN. c.. introduced bill re-
pealing that section of the Revised
Statutes forbidding the payment of PEN
sions to any person, or the widow,
children, or heirs of any deceased per-
son who in any manner voluntarily en-
gagged in or aided or abetted the late
rebellion. Adjourned.

English Appeal to Irish Honor.
London, Jan. 30.-Gladstone in ac-
cepting an address from the Liberal
Association at Oxford to-day, said he
considered the sending of a fleet into
the Dardanelles an act of war-a breach
of neutrality. e6,000,000 would be
taken by Turkey as encouragement to
prolong the war. He feared the vote
would be carried by the failure of Irish
members to oppose it, though he hoped
for Ireland's honor that those who had
themselves been struggling for freedom
would respect and sympathize with the
freedom of others. He said the Libe-
rails were in the minority in the House
of Commons, but they had the country
with them on this question. 1t rested
with the country to-day whether it
would incur the burden of this vote
and encourage Turkey to persevere in
prolonging the cruel and bloody strug-
gle which has already brought her we'll
nigh to destruction.

interfere with the preparation of the delicate
appetizer which he orders before his dinner;
for the secret in making glass of perfect alb
synthe depends mainly on the time and man
ipulation bestowed upon it-in fact it might
be said that it is the entire secret--a secret
which has secured and maintained for the
Absynthe Room an enviable reputation,
dating thirty or forty years back. The supe-
rior stock OF Spanish wines of this establish
ment has also contributed in making it pop
ular, and what in this line cannot be found
elsewhere Ferer is certain OF having it on
hand.
