Early SLEEP.

Sleep obtained two hours before mid

and glow to the cheek. The difference
in the appearance Of a person who habit.

who sits up till twelve, is quite remarkable
The tone Of the system, SO evident IN the
complexion, the clearness and sparkle of
the eyes, and the sottness of the lines of
the features, is, in person of health kept
at concert pitch by taking regular rest
two hours before twelve o'clock, and then
obtaining the "beauty sleep of night

ness of the skin, and an absence of that
glow in the face which renders it fresh in
expression and round in appearance, which

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-At the
meeting of the House Military Com
mittee this morning, the sub-com~
mittee reported that the facts in
communications laid before them
in regard to the charges against the
management of the Soldiers Home,
at Hampton, Va, were insufficient
to warrant Congressional inquiry.
On motion of Representative
White, the subcommittee was in
structed to examine into the matter
more full y and submit their conclus-
ion to the full committee Thursday.
The Potter Committee to-day ex-
amined J. II. Birch, one of the Presi-
Dental electors at large of Louisi-
ana. His testimony was to the
effect that he signed the second set
of certificates, having been advised
there was informality in the first
set. He knew nothing of forgery
of signatures except what he had
learned from newspapers and con-
versations. 1t was quite true he
forged no signature.
2 Witness Kelley was recalled
from Saturday, and, after much
pressure stated positively that the
name of Jafrions was forged, but
was not quite so sure as to that OF
Levisse. The committee then took
recess.
The House Committee on Post
Offices and Postroads authorized its
Chairman, Mr.. Waddell, to report
the bill prepared by him for the
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1879-01-15

classification of mail matter as a
substitute for the bill heretofore
reported, and which is on the House
calendar. This bill has been very
generally published, but, as agreed
upon by the Committee, it is
amended so that letters mailed with
insufficient postage will be forward
ed and the deficiency collected from
the person addressed. Itprovides also
for the issuance of the new stamps to
be used for that purpose, as hereto
fore published.
The Senate passed House bill for
removal of the political disabilities
of James Chestnut, of South Caro-
lima.
The House, in Committee of the
Whole, considered the Mexican
Pension bill.
The Appropriation Committee
was instructed to appropriate to the
widow of the late Representative
Hartridge an amount equal to the
remainder of his salary as member
of the 18th Congress.

XIV CONGRESS.
SENATE.
WAsHINGTON, Jan. l

WASHINGTON, Jan. II.
In the Senate during the morn
ing hour, Mr.. Anthony submitted a
resolution providing that at one
o'clock Friday the Senate will pro
ceed to consider the bills on the
calender, if not objected to, they to
be discussed under the FIVE minute
rule. Agreed to.
Mr.. Butler, of South Carolina,
submitted a resolution directing the
Secretary of the Interior to inquire
and report to the Senate, what rails
road company, individual or indi-
viduals are constructing or building
a railroad across the public domain
in the territory of Arizona, and
by what authority such road is be-
ing construct /. Agreed to.
At the conclusion of the morning
business, Mr.. Davis, of West Vir-
ginia, called up the resolution sub
mitted by him early in the session,
to promote the agricultural interests
of the country, and spoke at length
upon that subject.
The Senate Finance Committee
heard Fl. W. Hunt, President of the
Merchants Tobacco Company of
New York and Boston, in opposition
to House bill which provides for re-
ducing the rate of taxation on
tobacco. The committee adjourned
without acting on the subject, but
viii hold a special meeting to dis
pose of it within the next few days.
HOUSE.
The House, by a vote of yeas
112, nays 105, determined to post
pone the Geneva Award bill, and it
is now in the hands of the Commit
tee..on the Bill for the Payment of
Pensions to the Survivors of the
Mexican and others Wars.

A long debate occurred in the
Senate over a resolution to inaugu>

Mr.. Roberts offered a resolution to
postpone the Inauguration till jan

understood that Gov. Porter would
neither sign nor return the bill re

four to three thousand dollars. lie
had five days in which to return the
bill or veto it.
A contest was made over the
Constitutional effect of bill passed
by the Legislature, and not returned
by the Governor within the time
prescribed by law, but if the resolu-
tiOn is adopted fixing the Inaugural
ton at noon Thursday, the practical
effect is that for the next two years
the Governors salary will be four

SpIeudtd MT teSr.

Shortly after o'clock last night, the
Southwestern RI horizon was lit up with
q meteor OF extraordinary dimensions.
A gentleman who saw the meteor of
1860, which attracted great deal of
attention, and was a source of no little
apprehension to the superstitious, says
this was nearly, if not quite, equal to
that. The heavens were spiendidly lit
up for moment, and the meteor pass
cd off towards the South.
