enauon o. the amy appropriation bib was re-
suined. Inc discussion of the clause forbidding
the military nj tie polls was participated in by
Messrs Muldrow Chalmers and Hurd on the
Democratic side, and by Messrs. Bedford, Com
ger and Frye on the Republican. Adjourned.
An EFFORT was made by Mr.. Sparks TO have a
time liked Tor closing the debate ON the army
appropriation bill. Suggestions were made 10
have night session, TO restrict speeches u
fifteen minutes each, and 70 close the debate
the next day. Objection was made to ali
these propositions, Mr.. Conger stating that
q number Of gentlemen on both sides had given
notice oil their desire TO speak; also that many
had prepared speeches, and would not like to
be restricted TO fifteen ninutes and also, that
few members would be present ut the nights
session. Tn both sides il was declared that
there was no desire TO shut off debate; and
the speaker gave it Us his experience that an
unlimited debate was the shortest debate

The debate on the Army bill was closed with
speeches by Messrs. Singleton, Hawley, Tuck
er and Garfield, and by a number of Greenbaok
membeTs-Messrs. Weaver, De La Mntvr,
Jones and Wright The most striking address
which came from the GreenbackeIs was that
made by Mr.. Weaver, of Iowa. The burden of
his remarks was protest against the introduc-
ton of sectional issues into Congress at the
time when, as he said the country is suffering
for the want of legislation to relieve it from its
| financial distress. He berated both parties for
neglecting what he considered the weightier
matter, and warned them Of their approaching
overthrow unless they should turn from their
sectional dsputes aYd give their attention to
financial issues. lie said that he favored the
repeal OF the sections of law authorizing the
use of UnitedlStates troops to preserve the
peace Mt the polls and requiring jurors to take
the iron-clad OATH but. he was in favor Of re-
tanning those sections providing for the appoint
ment OF United States supervisors, with certain
notifications He also believed that q consti-
tutional amendment should be adopted, giving
to the President power to veto any portion of a
bill which he would not approve, while signing
the remainder.

Stay at Home.

Young man, if you have home in the
country, stay there. Don't help to over
crowd the city. City life is hard life,
especially at the present time, when for
every vacant situation there are half a
dozen applicants. One out of hundred
in city may be able to lay up little
money, and one out of 1000 may be-
come wealthy; a small portion will
live in comparatively comfortable cir
cumstances; the rest, even if they get
and keep constant employment, are
drudges, who work hard, get poor pay,
besides being condemned to unwhole-
some diet, and to breathe foul air. In
the country very few men have an ex-
cuse for being wretchedly poor. The
nation would be richer, happier and bet
ter if the excess of population in the
cities would remove to fertile farms, of
which there are an abundance, and en-
gage in tilling thesoil. 1t is an occupation
quite as honorable as selling dry goods,
and far more desirable than the drudgery
or confinement of city life, that wears
out the body before old age comes, and
offers no adequate wages to sustain life
in return. If you are wise you will not
desert the country. Exchange.

The official report Of the board of inquiry in
the Fitz-John Porter case has been approved
by the President and the Secretary of War, and
the general will now be restored to his old rank
and position in the army. The report of the
board, which consisted Of Generals Schofield.
Terry and Getty, gives narrative ofthe events
which gave rise 20 the charges against General
Porter, emitting unessential details and limit
ing themselves to plain statement Of essential
facts established by positive proof. Concerning
the. charge of which General Porter was found
guilty-not having moved his command on the
night of August u, 1862, in obedience TO an
order from General Pope - the board reports
that it was a manifest physical impossibility
to march over that road that night; that
nothing would hate been gained by the at
tempt, and that it would have been wiseri
General Porter had delayed the attempt still
longer than he did; that he exercised the very
ordinary discretion of corps commander, and
that it was his plain duty to so exercise it.
The report closes as follows I" General Porter
was, in effect condemned for not having taken
any part in his own battle. Such was the error
upon which General Porter was pronounced
guilty OF the most shameful crime known among
soldiers. We believe not one among all the
gallant soldiers on that bloody field was less
deserving of such condemnation than he The
evidence of bad animus in Porter's case ceases
to be material in view of the evidence of his
soldierly and faithful conduct. But it is our
duty to say that the indiscreet and unlSind
terms in which General Porter expressed his
distrust of the capacity Of his superior com
mander General Pope) cannot be defended,
and TO that indiscretion was due in very great
measure the misrepresentation of both his no.
tives and his conduct and his consequent con-
demnation. Having thus given the reasons for
our conclusions, we have the honor to report,
in accordance with the Presidents order, that
in our opinion justices requires at his hands
such action as may be necessary to annul and
set aside the findings and sentence of the court
martial in the case OF Major-General Fitz-
John Porter and to restore him to the position
of which that sentence deprived him, such re-
storation to take effect from the date OF his dis
missal from the service"
