Last night the anniversary of tie Wash
ington Literary Society was celebrated in

versity. The weather being fine, a large
audience was assembled-the same audience

sons.
The president, Mr.. w. II. Crenshaw, OF
Alabama, after making his welcoming adj
dress, introduced as the orator OF the occa-
sion MIR. J. W. Holt, OF West Virginia,
who announced as his subject, Virginia
of 177G and Of 1876" and treated it in man
ner altogether pleasing to his audience and
creditable to himself.
The question "Ought laws to be enacted
restricting the formation OF labor union So
cieties ?" was then discussed in the afirma-

and r. NJ. Call, Of Florida, and in the mega
tive by Messrs. j. Fl. Hamilton and w. A.
McCorkle, OF Virginia.
The speeches were we'll delivered and

The bill to pension the soldiers Of the
Mexican war wa taken zip In committee
of the Whole. and Mr., Joyce, OF Vermont,
made n speech against it on the ground that
it wonld be largely for the benefit Of men
who had fought against the Government
during the iafe war. This speech was de-
,nounccd with great yehenlence by Mr..
Goode, Of Virginia, who expressed his
surprise ut the extraordinary speech made
by Mr. Joyce, and at the opposition
to the bill made by that gentleman
on the ground that some of the benefciaries
under the bill belonged to the South and
took sides with the South fir the late un-
happy civil war. He had not believed that
there was member OF the House who
would undertake to visit punishment on
Mexican veterans on any such ground.
Was not the late war over? More than
thirteen years had elapsed since its terminass
ton. The fields that had been trampled
by its red, fiery hoof had yielded
many rich and abundant harrests. Year
after year the flowers OF spring had bloomed
and faded over the graves Of the dead. The
Mexican veterans who belonged to the
South paid their taxes, bore their due pro-
portion Of the burthens OF the Government,
and performed all the duties Of good cit1-
zens. Ii the emergency should ever arise
again they would respond to the call OF their
country with the same zeal and alaerity rs
they did in 1916. They would not be found
behind the constituents OF the gentleman
from Vermont, as they had not been found
behind them at Palo Alto, Resaca de 10
Palma, Buena Vista, Monterey, Cerro Cor
do, Churubusco, and all the battle-tields OF
Mexico which American proves and valor
had illustrated and made famous. He hoped
the gentleman (Joyce) stood alone in the
position lie occupied on the bill.
Mr. Joyce: land I would stand alone If
I were the only man In the world"
J Mr.. Goode: ''And there I hope he will
stand forever"
Mr.. Crittenden, OF Missouri: Where
was the gentleman (Joyce) during the late
WARP"
Mr.. Townsend, OF New York: HE was
an honorable colonel serving his country
Applause on the Republican sidel, and
wish that you had had been by his side"
Mr.. Goode: 81 prefer to believe that the
peoples representatives here will be found
imbued with spirit OF patriotism sufti-
GENTLY broad and comprehensive to enable
them to forget the bitter memories which
the gentleman from Vermont has under
taken to evoke"
The committee rose without action on the
bill.
Mr.. Butler, OF Massachusetts,, gave notice
that he would seek the floor at 3 O'Clock to-
to address the House on the finan-
cial question.

HEATING CITY BY STEAM.-LockpOrt,
N. Y, February 24.-The experiment OF
heating this city by steam, under the Holly
system, has proved successful. The follow
ing practical results are reported by those
having it in charge: Three miles Of pipe,
properly covered with non-conducting ma
terial, laid under ground through some OF
the principal streets, radiate from central
boiler-house, and fifty different dwellings
and other editices, including one large pub
lic-school building, have been thoroughly
warmed all winter by steam thus dis
tributed, and turned on or off, as re-
CURED by the tenant, with the facility
OF water or gas-supply. Dwellings more
than a mile distant from the steam
generator are heated as readily as those next
door steam-meters are provided, so that each
party need pay only for what he consumes.
1t is claimed that the system can be so de-
yei0ped as to furnish steam at fifty pounds
pressure transmitted through twenty miles
of pipe, thus supplying power for engines
and manufactures, and steam for cooking
and laundry purposes, for eXtinguishing
CONGREGATIONS, for cleaning streets Of ice OF
snow, or protecting hydrants from frost.
The rates actually charged to the consumer
here do not exceed what bis coal and wood
cost him to produce the same result, thus
saving the expense of engineers or fremen,
the cost of furnaces, and the trouble OF man
aging them. Itsayes the heat, and is always
under coEtrol.

Norristo,on, Pa, February 23.-The body
OF Heinrich Wahlen, who was convicted Of

Changers encampment at Elm Station, in
the fall OF 1876, was found this evening in

skull was broken, and it is supposed that
he first fastened the rope around his neck
and then beat himself on the head with the
iron covering OF the heater, which was
found broken off and lying near his body
covered with blood.
Wahlen left statements in bis cell written
in French, German, and English, in which

mentable disaster on that coast in. the total

tanning clothes and bedding. Three bodies

found one of them is supposed to be that
of the captain. Fifteen pieces OF English
coin were found upon his person. The
crew are all thought to have been drowned.
No assistance could he rendered on account
Of the high sea, as the bark was lying on the
north point of Hatteras bar in the midst Of
breakers. She is now total wreck, broken
entirely to pieces. All the articles that have
come ashore have been formally taken pos

XLVTH CONGRESS--Secon Session.
WASHINGTON, February %, 1878.
SENATE

Mr.. Wallace presented 4 bill prepared by
the executive committee OF the National
Export Convention, recently in session III
Washington, to provide for carrying ocean
mails on American ships. Mr.. Wallace said
the bill was prepared under the supervision
of influential gentlemen from nearly every
State in the Union, and deserved careful
consideration. Referred to the Committee
on Post Offices.
House Joint resolution to authorize the
Secretary of War to issue certain arms to
the Washington Light Infantry, of Charles
ton, S. c., was taken up, and MIR. Butler, OF
South Carolina, in explanation thereof, said
it was to relieve the officers OF the company
from the bonds given by them as security
for the arms loaned them with which they
visited the Centennial. There had been an
overissue OF arms to the State, and it was
further proposed to allow this company to
retain their arms Mr.. Morrill,, OF Vermont,
inquired what had become Of the arms al
ready issued to the State as its quota. Mr..
Butler replied that he and others would like
to know. In 1869, during the administra-
ton OF Governor Scott, 100000 stand OF
arms were drawn by him, and the State
was charged with an oyerdraw to the extent
OF S84, 1000, but that amount had been re-
duced some by. credits since that time out
of the annual appropriation due the State
for military purposes. The arms issued to
Governor Scott could not be found in the
State, though Governor Hampton was try
ing to recover them, and had recovered
some. He tMr. Butler) believed that some
OF these arms never reached the State when
they were issued, but were sold before they
got the4e. He proposed before the end Of
the session to Introduce resolution pro-
yiding for an inquiry into this whole matter
and find out where the arms had gone to.
After some further discussion the joint re-
solution was passed.
There was no executive session or nomi-
nation.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The Senate amendments to the bill for
the relief OF the Eagle and Phmnix Manu-
