FlTZ JOHN.

The Senate has finished the Ftz
John Porter case by the passage ofthe
following:
"That the President is hereby au-
thorized within eighteen months after
the passage of this act, in his discre-
ton, by and with the advice Jand
consent of the Senate. to appoint to
the army Fitz John Porter, who was
dismissed by sentence Of court martial
January 10, 1868 provided, however,
such appointment shall give no higher
rank than Colonel on the retired list /:
and provided, further, that said Por-
ter shall receive no pay and compen-
sation or allowances for the time inter.
vening between bis dismissal and such
appointment"
This was passed by the votes Of
thirty-six Democrats, twenty Repub-
licans and Davis, of Illinois voting
against it mot Republican in it:
favor, not a Democrat against it. This
Infamous action by which it is made
possible that such a mscreant as Por,
ter may again disgrace the United
States uniform, is thus exclusively the
property of the Democratic party. Tht
bill will have no effect, more than t.
show tbe animus Of those who passed
it. 1t is hardly probable that Haye
will take hasty action in the matter
and if not, the Inauguration of Gar
field ,gill end the matter. -MeadviH

there has also been brought into mar
ket a great quantity of hard timber,
which at that time was not included.
That a Railroad would pay up Tic
nesta Creek there is not the least doubt
in my mind. The immense forest there
is yet in Forest County, aud the large
quantity of hemlock bark that would
be at once made accessible, would, l
thiDk, surprise the most sanguine, and
make the road pay from the start.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Special to the REPUBLICAN.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. 16, 80.
The President has nominated
William B. Woods, Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court, vice Strong,
resigned. Other vacancies will occur
shortly.
There were only ten Senators in
their seats when prayer was offered at
the opening yesterday. In fact, the
Vice President caused the reading Of
the journal to be delayed until a
quorum arrived.
The President yesterday signed the
first bill passed at the present session
of Congress, that has reached the
White House. 1t was to authorize
the Secretary of the Interior to dispose
of part of the Fort Dodge military
reservation to actual settlers under
the provisions Of the homestead laws
The Educational Bill is up for con.
sideration in the Senate. 1t provides
for the application of a portion Of the
proceeds of the public lands to public
education, and provide for the more
complete endowment and support of
National Colleges, for the advance
ment of scientific and industrial edu-
cation. Mr.. Brown, the new Senator
fiom Georgia, delivered a splendid
address before the Senate yesterday in
support of the bill. 1t is the best
exhibition of oratory heard this session,
and will give Senator Brown a place
amorg the ablest speakers of the Sen
ate. A vote is expected'upon tho bill
this afternoon.
The sudden and quiet passage ofthe
Fitz John Porter bill by the Senate
on Tuesday will doubtless be q sur
prise to those who remember the
heated debate upon this matter at the
last session. Then the Democrat;
we're afraid to pass it, because Of the
influence it might have upon the ap
preaching election. But now they
are defeated, but have the power tC
enact questionable measures, they Dc
not hesitate to do it. The bill however
is not so Objectionable as the one pre-
viously urged. 1t provides, that will
the advice and consent of the Senate
the President can, at his discretion
} within eighteen months after the pass
, age of the act, and not afterwsrd
appoint Porter to the rank of COlone
in the Army, but he is not to receiv
} pay for any of the time he was out 9
the service. The bill has as yet t.
: pass the House, where the opposition
2 will probably be strong enough t
prevent the passage.

Railroad up Tionesta Greek.
Ed. REPUBLICAN =

ED. REPUBLICAN -
In recent issue
of the National Democrat | notice an
article on the feasibility of Railroad
up Tionesta Creek and giving the av-
erage grade at II feet per mile. This
is not right. In 1867 it was my for
tune to belong to an Engineer Corps
that made preliminary survey and
estimates for a Railroad from Tionesta
to Sheffield, via the Valley of the Tio-
nesta. Starting at a point just below
the mouth of the creek and ending at
the P. q E. r. r., at Sheffield, we
find that the total grade is 284 feet, and
tho distance 80 3S.100 miles. This
would make an average grade off 3. 10
feet per mile. Starting at the mouth
of the creek we followed the East
branch to a point near the foot OF
Slows bend, one mile above town
then we crossed to the ives: side and
kept that side to a point near Henry'i
Mill, in Warren Co., when we re-
crossed to the east side, and again haC
to cross the East Branch near the forks
Our estimated cost of building the
road in round nqmbers was 81, 100000
but this estimate was based on iron a
$50 per ton, laborers ats2,00 per day
mechanics, carpenters, ETC., at 500
to $3.50 per day. The same can b,
now had at saving of nearly or quit
40 per cent.
We estimated the business of th
road at $4,000 tons of freight tn
first year, and 25,0OO passengers. Thi
now would no doubt be largely in
creased, especially, the freight, for a
that time lumbermen did not believ
much in shipping lumber by rail an

THE Chicago Times speaks of tho
business activity there as something
wholly phenomenal, and so it is, if the
following can be relied upon: "Du-
ring the past two weeks there has come
upon our merchants regular deluge
of orders. Every country merchant
has suddenly made the discovery that
he is unprepared to meet the demands
of a regular old-fashioned winter
season, apd the haste with which he is
seeking to make amends has esulted
in an overthrow of orders. A very
remarkable business boom,' quite out
Of the regular season, has during the
past month fallen to the lot of our
merchants, and the activity now dis
playing is almost equal-in some lines
it far exceeds the recognized busy
season Of the year."

The PRESS reluctantly admits that it told a
lie when it squarely stated that Josiah A.
Slower was counted in as fusion Senator for
York county. This statement about Mr..
Slower is only a sample of the stories it tells
about the alleged "miscount." Its romances
on this subject are nearly all of a kind, gotten
up to. mislead the blind. They only excite the
disgust of intelligent men who keep their eyes
open to what is going on around them.--Argus
This is a fair specimen of Argus misrepre-
sentation and lodging in the matter of the
mscount. What the PRESS admitted and
what the Argus knows it admitted was simply
that it made mistake in saying that the Tab
ulators actually stole Senator from York coun-
ty 1t asserted and still asserts that they tried
to steal one that they or their confederates
committed two forgeries to steal one, and that
the only reason they did not steal one was be-
cause they encountered difficulties which they
could not overcome. To use a previous illus
tration they broke open the bank building and
battered down the exterior defences of the
vault, but encountered inside box SO strong
that they could not break it, and so were I'M
able to possess themselves of the treasure.
A burglar after doing these things generally
has decency enough to run his country.
But these shameless Tabulators go about pro-

difficulty in finding journals which claim to
be respectable, to defend them.

KENNEBEo VALLEY CAMP MEETING.
Friday.

Friday.
After the light and gentle rain of yesterday
which only settled the dust and rendered the
air a tie purer, the sun rose in all its SPLEEN
dor on the fifth and practically the last day of
the meeting. The rising bell rang at $50 a.
M. but somehow or other the people didn't
seem to rise until breakfast time, when they
promptly turned out en- masse. After feeding
the physical body they wendell their way to
the tabernacle where the wants of the spirit
ual body were administered to by the love
feast, which was held at $50. More than 100
partook and testified to the power of the Holy
Ghost to fill the soul. Having Toasted both
soul and body the people then adjourned to
the stand to listen to an interesting discourse
from the Rev. W. S. Jones of Auburn He
chose for his text Gen. xxi, 26. "And he
said, let me go, for the day breaketh. And he
said, will not let thee go, except thou bless
me-"
At 11.30 a. m. over 800 excursionists arrived
on the camp ground from Bath. in the screw
propeller Sebenoa, in time to take dinner and
attend the afternoon services. They returned
to Bath at p. m. At O'Clock the customary
children's meeting was held at the tabernacle,
under the care OF Mrs. Margaret Clark. Mrs
Clark appears to be eminently adapted to this
work and the success of many other meetings
has been. in greatlmeasure, due to her earn
estness in her Masters cause.
In the afternoon Rev. Chas. f. Allen, D. d.,
late President of the Maine State Agricultural
College, preached one of the most Interesting
sermons yet given on the grounds from Exodus
xxxiii IS. 'And he said, I beseech thee,
show me thy glory" The subject of the SER
mon was Gods glory-how displayed and how
sought. An altar service was held at the
close. Social meetings in the socie ty ten1s
were held as usual at 6 o'clock The services
in all the tents were especially impressive.
At the business meeting of the X ennebec
Valley Camp-Meeting Association, yesterday,
it was decided that they should become joint
stock company. Acc ordingly new code of
bylaws was reported and adopted The limit
of the stock is to be $4,000. At present. how
ever, they will issue but $500, as that amount
will cover all the Indebtedness of the associa-
ton. OF this amount nearly $4,000 has been
subscribed already The shares are but $40
each and all interested in the camp-ground
and its prosperity are invited to subscribe. The
ground belonging to the association covers
about IS acres, and all the property in it is
estimated at $4,000.
A general prayer meeting tomorrow at
O'Clock will close the present meeting, which
has been one of great interest and power. 4

mony of clerks of towns, some of whom are
Republican and some Fusion, of experts in
handwriting, and of Gov Garcelon and Tabu-
lator Moody, the exhibition of fac SMILES of
the returns, and the reports of the Republican
majority and Fusion minority of the Hale
committee. There is no doubt, as the Argus
says, that these "romances" do disgust intel
ligent men, especially intelligent Democrats
and Greenbackers. The PRESS proposes to
keep on disgusting them.
The cut above is the fac smile of the Sena-
torial return from Dayton. 1t is obvious at a
glance that the line uniting the two
upright strokes was added after the rest of the
letter was made. Take that off and an Fl re-
mains. The town clerk of Dayton swears
that that line was not there when thu
return left his ands. Who put it there?
That question is answered when we know
what it was put there for. The name of the
Fusion candidate was Josiah A. Slower. The
clerk of Dayton returned it Josiah IT.
Slower. Under the decision of the Governor
and Council that returns could not be correct
ed the vote of Dayton must have been counted
for Josiah II. Slower, and so the Fusion candi-
date would have lost 96 votes. The change
was made therefore to save Dayton to the
Fusion candidate. Who were the men who
had motive for saving votes to the Fusion
candidate? Were they not the Tabulators and
their co-conspirators and they only?
