Mr.. Keifer asked Butler. as to his posi-
snr, s,or,nsnrnsr,n. GornEolo.n4Au

tl0n on pensl0nl0g G0nfederateS.
Mr.. Butler-l repeat that whenever a
question of the depletion of the treasury
By those war claims is over, | think that
the pity Of humanity Of the northwest will
take care of the manned men Of the war,
and, if you wish to know it. see no more
reason why the Confederate soldier, manned
and crippled in the honest discharge of
what he believed to be bis duty, should not
be pensioned, than why the Confederate
General, who honestly believed he was
doing his duty, should be put into the Re-
publican Cabinet. General applause and
clapping of hands on the Democratic side.
Mr.. Keller remarked that fair infer
ence from what Mr.. Butler had said was
that he was in favor of putting Confeder-
ates into the cabinet.
Mr.. Butler-I have not said was in
favor of it, nor do think the country has
yet come up to it, but when we have with
drawn all causes of difference, nobody
| from the North will object to Confeder-
ate being in the cabinet any more than
from humanity to pension the Confederate
| soldiers.
Mr. Keifer-Then the gentleman under
takes to say at least that it Is fair infer
| ence that the present administration is only
step in advance of him. He has not yet
come to the time when he is in favor of
putting Confederate generals in the cabi-
net, or pensioDing Confederate soldiers.
Mr.. Butler-Neither the one or other,
Mr.. Keifer-Not yet. but the gentleman
thinks he is very nearly there. He is al
most persuaded.
Mr.. Keifer justified his opposition to the
relief of William and Mary College on
the ground that secession doctrines had
peen taught in the seminary.
Mr.. Aiken reminded him that the lead
ing men of the Confederate army were
graduates of West Point, and that the
same objection would, therefore, lie against
that academy.
Mr.. Blackb burn said if the ghost of the
recent struggle would not down, and il
there was no pabulum on which certain
stalwart patriots could feed except thar
restless shade, he wanted the gentleman
, from Ohio (Keifer) to state what he mean
in the Southern claims by which he wa
accustomed to alright the country. Th
precedent for them had been establishes
by the Republican party. Nobody eve
! asked the pensioning of a Confederat
soldier or the payment of Confederat
claims Ia all cases loyalty had been prove
: first.
After a colloquy, in which Mr.. Foste
J alluded humorously to Mr., Blackburn
: speakership candidacy, Mr.. Blackburn
D proceeded to show that West Point ha
e sent out many Confederate generals. Th
South protested against being made re
: sponsible for these claims. She aske
s nothing, and it was unjust to drag her int
e such discussions, and make her the foe
= ball of the passions of partisans.
s Mr.. Reagan wished all such claim
: might be excluded or referred to som
e tribunal which might pass upon thei
e merits.
i Without action the committee rose, an
}. the house took recess for debate in th
T evening session.

SPECIAL N T1cEs.
CONSERVATIVES TAKE NOTICE


Every moment of delay makes your case more
hopeless, and much depends on the judicious
choice of a remedy. The amount of testimony in
favor OF DR.. schenck's Pulmonic ISyrup, as cure
for Consumption, far exceeds all that can be
brought to support the pretentions Of any other
medicine see DR.. Schenck's Almanac, containing
the certificates Of many persons Of the highest
respectabiity, who have been restored to health
after being pronounced incurable by physicians OF
acknowledged ability. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup
alone has cured mary, as these evidences will
show; but the cure is often promoted by the en-
ployment OF two other remedies which Dr.Schencl
provides for the purpose. These additional rene
dies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills BY the timely use of these medicines, &C
cording to directions, Dr. Schenck certlfes tha
most any case of Consumption may be cured.
DR.. Schenck is professionally at his prineips
office, corner Sixth and Arch SITS Philadelphia
every Monday, where all letters for advice must b.
addressed.

The tug Montana, the transfer steamer
McComb, and the ferry boat Three States,
responded promptly. and at this writing
are doubtless at the wreck seven miles
below. Further particulars are anxiously
looked for, but will probably not reach
here until the return of the relief boats
towards morning. The light of tho burn
ing steamer was plainly visible here
LATER,
Capt. Hart states that the Donnelly took
FIRE aft of the arboard box and the fire
spread very rapidly. The boat was headed
for the shore, and the fact that no lives
were lost is due to the GOODNESS and
bravery of the pilot, Wm. Underwood, who
remained at his post until the boat struck
the shore, when the pilot house was 10
flames, and he descended through tie
wheel house. jumped into the water and
swan ashore Several limbs were broker
, by those who jumped from the boat to the
