HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Feb 1.
The mornieg hour having been dispensed
with the House at y 45 went into committee
of the whole, Mr.. Springer of Illinois in the
chair, on the Fitz John Porter bill, general de-
bate being limited to three hours and foIty-
fve minutes.
Mr.. Woolford of Kentucky resumed his ar
gument begun last Saturday in support of the
bill
Report incomplete
He had argued that self respect should pre-
vent ex-Confederates taking part in this d =
bate. He had thought that ex-Confederates
were here as members of the American Con-
gress, with the aud duty to vote on every ques-
tion. He understood his confederate were
here loving their flag and loving their country
that they were qere saying TO-DAY and forever
that they had left behind them the hitter feel
ings engendered by the war and everything
that divided the cOuutry. We're men forever
to stand and quarrel over old issues? Let Com
gress go forward and say it is ready to do JUS
tice ta wrouged and injured man.
Mr. Milliken of Maine inquired whether he
was TO understand that the gentlemen asked
members t. vote for the relisf of FlIz John
craze friends Ii asked on that grou nd he
would vo,e for the relief.
Mr.. Calkins OF Indiana follawed in scath-
ing speech oppo ing the bill. He was follow
ed by VIM. Walter Phelps of New Jersey In
an elaborate defence of Porter.
Mr.. Boutelle of Maine said, duty to the
State and To the members OF the Fifth Army
Corps who resided in that State, he wished to
enter his protest against the passage of the
bill. He denied that it was the unanimous de-
sire of The mel who had fought under Porter
that no should be restored to the army, and as
serted q resutation of that claim that he
had this morning received letter from GAL
lant cavalryman who carried Porter's flag as
orderly, stating that the sentiment among his
old army corps was an almost universal one of
astonis hment aud Indignation at the inaction
of their general on the ooh of August. Then
a number of short speeches were made, all but
two being in opposition to the bill.
Mr.. STEELE of Indiana moved to strike out
the name Of Fitz John Porter and insert Ward
Fl. Burnett. Rejected.
Mr. Calkins of Indiana offered substitute
providing for the convening of the new court
martial 10 review the case. Lost.
Mr.. Converse, of Ohio, offered an
amendment making Fitz John Porter's
retirement compulsory. Agreed to in commit
tee, but the action was subsequently reversed
by the House.
Mr.. Baynes of Pennsylvania submitted an
amendment striking out the words "appoint-
ment under it," and inserting "the passage of
the act" Agreed to.
The committee then rose, and the bill was
ordered to be engrossed aud read the third
time.
Mr.. Curtin of Pennsylvania then made a
bri liant and eloquent speech in support Of the
bill.
The bill was then passed-yeas 1884, nays
78-Lhe entire Maine delegation voting against
it.
When MIR. Poland of Vermont cast the vote
in affirmative there was round of applause on
the Democratic side.
The House then adiournep until Monday.

The Bar RarbOr Railroad Report of the
Commissioners.
BANGOR Feb. 1.-The railroad commission
ers have rendered decision on the petition fer
the location of the Mt. Desert Railroad. Their
decision is that public convenience and exi-
gencies require such railroad as the petition
ers propose to construct from point at or near
Bar Harbor, in the town of Eden, to the pro-
posed terminus at the base of Green Noun
tain, in the town of Mt. Desert. The commits
soneTs consider the objection to running the
road through the village well-fouuded and
therefore do not approve of the location of
the said road as now surveyed through the viii
lage of Bar Harbor, and the prayer of the
petitioners in that respect must be denied.

A HAPPY SURPRISE.
Meeting of the Groves Family ut COu-
sens's ISLAND.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Between four and five O'Clock on Tuesday
last, MIR. Samuel Groves and wife, of Cousens
Island, were amazed to see number of teams,
heavily loaded with passengers, approaching
their residence from different directions. As
soon as the first surprise and hearty greetings
were over, it was found that the company con-
sisted OF their ten children, besides three sons
and four daughters-in-aw, t@enty-three grand
children (4ll they have but one), and a few iu-
vited guests The perplexing question of
what shall we get for supper?" was soon
settled by the unloading of many a well-flled
basket. The old family mansion rang aoaiu
with the voices of children as Ia DAYS Of wore
The children, for the time, took possession Of
their old home, and the tables almost eroaned
beneath their loads. The Superior manner m
which the supper was provided, showed thai
the daughters had not forgotten the teaoh,nos
OF their youthful days; aud also the wisdom Of
the sons in chosiug their helpmates The
abundance supplied gave evidence that the
liberal aud generous spirit iDcalcated In how
hood had not been lost. The voice of friendly
converse was heard, and the hours sped swift
