Congressman chase, Of Rhode Island,

Congressman Chase, of Rhode Island,
is the only Quaker in the National
Legislature. He is described as q
short, spare person, with thin. black
beard. white face and black hair. You
never see him save in suit Of immacu-
late broadcoth, with immense skirts
TO the coat and an old-fashoned black
choker on the expense of white bosom.
About the Capitol and on the
streets he looks like a figure from
a fashion-plate Of half a century ago,
and in the House he never seems to care
much about what goes on.

WILL THE PORTER BILL BE
VETOED.

President ARTHUR SAID TO BE oP-
POSED 10 RESTORING PORTER TO IHE
ARNY.
New YORK, March 20.-The
Washington special to the Ensrini
Post says that at the Executive
Mansion a few days since refer
enee was made TO the Fiz John
Porter bill. Various features Of
the bill were discussed, when the
President talked freely Of the de-
bates in congress. Among other
things, he said that the jealousy be
tween Porter and Pope, had been
very great, and was not TO be ap-
proved: that Porter, when pardon
ed, had been restored TO his civil
rights, and that he had not seen
anything in the evidence that had
been presented, whether new or
old, TO justify placing him back in
the army. The suggestion was
made to the President that q veto
would not improve his presiden-
tial prospects ID Minnesota and In
come other quarters where Por-
ter was said TO have friends. TIE
President took 10 notice Of this
suggestion, but said that he en-
tertained these views and did not
object to having them known.
