Forty-sixth Congress.
WasHrNeros. Feb. 6.

WASHINGTON, rep. 0.
 HousE.-The House narrowly escaped po- litical discussion this morning over a political disability bill, but after MT. Goode, of Vir- ginia, and MT. Conger of Michigan, had spoken briefly MT. Wood of New York object ed to further debate, and the bill was passed.
 On motion of MT. Bright the House went into Committee of the Whole on the private calendar. This was objection day, and nearly all the bills on the calendar were for pensions. Objection was made to them as they were read, principally by Messrs. Sparks, of Hi nois, and Warner, of Ohio, on the ground that these cases should be disposed of the House should not be made court of ap- peals. After six bills had been thus objected to, MT. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, moved that the committee rise. It was useless to waste time here if all these bills were to be objected to.
 MT. Oofforth hoped the motion would not prevail. We might as well have bills object ed to at once, as they could then be disposed of on the next consideration day. There seemed to be small party here who were not willing to give the soldiers pension.
 MT. Sparks denied that MT. Cofforth had any foundation for this. It was untrue, so far as he was concerned. These bills were passed to the prejudice of other pensioners. He had soldiers in his district who asked him to have special bills passed, but he would not make this court of appeal from the pension office.
 MT. Warner said Mir. Cofforth's statement was also untrue so far as he was concerned. The system should be changed.
 After some further discussion on the subject bill for the relief of George Eyster, Assist ant Treasurer of the United States at Philadel- phia, was called up and passed, and the House at $50 D. m adjourned until Monday.

State Prison.

Johnny DObbs Goes Back to Wethers- field-BrOught from New York on a Regulation.
 Johnny Dobbs, the celebrated bank bur- glar, who was arrested in Philadelphia several months ago and taken to New York, and who was indicted for having offered one of the bonds stolen from the Manhattan Savings Bank, for sale in a Philadelphia banking house, was discharged yesterday. This did not release him from custody, however, as he has an unexpired term of two years to serve in the Connecticut State prison, from which he escaped on May 8, 1875.
 Assistant District Attorney Russell of New York, consented to Dobbs' discharge, think ing it doubtful whether he could be convict ed, but that being taken to Connecticut he will be sure to undergo term of imprison- ment. The discharge of Dobbs is regarded as @ confirmation of the rumor that he gave in formation after his own arrest, that led to the arrest of Watchman Shevelin and the convic- tion of Johnny Hope and William Nugent, and to the trial of ex-Policeman Nugent, all of whom were connected with the Manhattan Bank burglary.
 Dobbs' offense in Connecticut was robbing the postof6ce in Oollnsville, where he stole a quantity of stamps and then breaking into the Collinsville Bank, which was in the same building. His attempt to rob the bank was defeated, owing to daylight appearing before he could blow up the safe. He had begun drilling into the safe and broken 8 jimmy with which he had tried to force the door. While at Wethersfeld he played the spious dodge" protesting religion and thus obtained favors which he improved, with the aid of an accomplice, and effected his escape.
 On being released at New York yesterday he was rearrested on a requisition from the Governor and passed through this city last night going back to durance vile.

The Election i'm LiverpOOl-A Serious
 RiOt-The Result of am Attack by
 Home RuIers-The Conservative Can-
 didate Elected.
 LIVERPOOL, Feb 6.-The election to fill the Parliamentary vacancy from this city came of to- day amid great excitement. The betting to-day was to on Whitley, the Tory can- didate. Both parties now claim the victory, although the result cannot yet be estimated with any degree of certainty. The Liverpool stitute large and wen-organized body, have redeemed their pledges in promising to vote for Lord Harding, the Liberal candidate, not withstanding his having declined to pledge himself as to his future action on the Home Rule question in case of his election. The general opinion is that the majority will be a very narrow one either way. Each side has strained every nerve and brought up all it's reserves. Influences from London have been untiringly at work and the Ministry have in dicated their interest in the result. Promi- nent Conservatives offer to bet even freely on Whitley's return by five thousand majority, and bets are as freely taken by the other side The election is the one absorbing topic in this city tonight. All classes are on the qs1i 0i0e canvassing the possible result and expressing opinions which are combated by others equal ly positive.
 LIVERPOOL, Feb. 6-9 p. m.-Ths Conser- vatives are now sanguine that they have re- turned their candidate by six thousand majori- ty. A part of the Home Rulers who had been drinking heavily savagely attacked the Con servative canvassers, and serious riot fol lowed. The whole vote polled was about 52, 900, and the counting is proceeding slowly.
 Midnight. - MT. Whitley has been re- turned, but by majority much smaller than was generally expected. The excitement has subsided, and all is quiet.
 The entire vote was Whitley, 26, 106; Ram say, %, ,ss5. The Liberals, and especially the Home Rulers, are intensely mortified at the result, while the Conservatives are equally ju- bilant.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6

WAsHINGToN, Feb. 6.
 The Secretary of the Interior has decided the case of Pierrepont Orton against the Southern Pacific railroad involving an applica- tion by Orton to enter certain land under the resolution of June 18th, 1870, heretofore granted to said railroad The Secretary holds that notwithstanding Orton settled upon the land prior to the passage of the resolution, he did not assert his claim within the proper time and is not protected thereby, and the patent having issued in due course of business without notice of Orton's claim he declines to recommend the institution of suit by the United States against the company, leaving the claimant to his own remedy before the courts. This decision is important owing to the fact that it determines many similar ones now before the land office.

 WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-The case of Major Reno came up in the Cabinet meeting this afternoon. The Cabinet was in favor of the sentence of the court martial-dismissa1 from the army-being approved. The President will approve the findings and sentence, and an order of dismissal will be issued from the War department tomorrow or next day.
