WASHINGTON, March 9 The Republi
can members of the Senate in caucus, af
ter considerable interchange of opinions,
agreed that party interests would be pro
moted by the continuance of the debate
on the Fitz John Porter bill
The President sent the Senate to-day a
message Transmitting report from the
Secretary of the Interier containing an
agreement signed by the chiefs and head
men of the Ute Indians COW in Washing
too, The stipulatious OF agreement appear
to the President so reasonable and Just,
and the objects 80 be accom- plished by IFS
execution SO emiuently desirable to both
whites and Indians, that il has his cordial
approval. and he earnestly recommends it
to Congress for favorable consideration
and approval.
Among the documents accompanying
the Presidents message on the subject of
the Inter Oceanic canal is an elaborate re-
port from Secretary Evarts, in which he
sets forth its entire diplomatic history. the
u ain point of which is that our treaty with
New Gran.da is still in force and the
canal communication should it be accom-
plished in accordance Herewith and with
the concurrence OF the United States, that
is. in such accordance as under this treaty
must be deemed essential, would be to
day under the protection and guarantee of
the United States, and both Its protector
aud the governnent of New G ranada
would be authorized in certain contingen-
ces to call on the government of the
United States for the fuiGllment of the
treaty obligation.

Ca atarrhal t
POI S ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise on Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
/. That Catarrhal Colds become poi
sonous infection, al first local, and finally
constitutional.
2. That, being Constitutional. the infection is
beyond the reach of mere local remedies.
8. That Impurities in the nostrils are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinary organs.
4. That Catarrhal virus follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsia
Chronic Diarrhea, Bronchitis, Leucorrh9a
and Consumption.
5. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations, and
Insoluble S1uffs. cannot possibly remove in
fectious fndammations from the organs named.
6. That an antidote tor Cstsrrh must pos
ssss an inocu1ative affinity for, and the quality
of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located.
Based upon these plain theories, DR..
Wei De Meyers Catarrh Cure has proved
infallible. It not only re1eaves, it cures
Caiarrh at auv sfaCa. Home testimony:

WASHINGTON. March 9.-The Fig John
Porter bill came up and Mr.. Mcdonald
said the President had told Congress that
be had no power to appoint Porter and
that there was no Colonelcy vacant. He
therefore rightly referred the matter to
Congress, which has unlimited power over
the army and navy. 1t does not possess
pardoning power but it possesses power
to obliterate law Imposing disability.
He read decisions to show that a court
martial verdict could be reviewed. The
court martial was composed of men likely
to be interested in the case. Ricketts, and
King were commanders ia Mcdowell 8
division, Pope was the chief accuser and
witness. MIR. Mcdonald favorably COM
mented on the report of the Board OF Re-
view and referred to the testimony or Con-
tederate Generals in behalf of Porter, He
will conclude tomorrow
