XVIII. CONGRESS-.


Washington, January &c. The
speaker laid before the house the Gre
dentials of W. Rockwell, member-elect
of the twelfth district of Massachu-
sets. He took the oath of office.
Hatch Mo- from the committee on
agriculture, reported u bill for the es-
Establishment of a bureau of animal in
dustry, to prevent the expectation Of
diseased cattle, andpto provide for the
suppression and extirpation of pleuro-
pneumonia and other contagious dis
eases Of domestic animals.
The house then went into committee
of the whole, with Springer in the chair,
on the Fitz John Porter bill.
In committee of the whole Thomas
delivered a violent speech in opposition
of the Fitz John Porter bill. He re-
viewed the war record of General John
Pope, and pronounced him u hero for
his valor, gallantry and ability, vigor-
ously defending Pope's course toward
Porter, and scorchinglY referred to Por-
ter IS IN ''ofiicer who had sulked in his
tent" Thomas then referred to the
circumstance of General Logan being
superseded in command of the army Of
the Tennessee by a West Pointer three
days after he (Logan) had saved the
army" and said the removal of Nc
Clellan filled the heart of Porter with
venom and hatred toward everybody.
Follett, of Ohio, appealed to the
house to discuss and con sider the ques-
ton from a wholly non partisan stand
point. He deprecated the language
and animus in Thomas speech in de-
nouncing the graduates of West Point
and making the question a political
one.
Bedford said that he had the courage
and boldness to do what was Just with
out regard to any popular prejudice.
He said that Pompey, Hannibal, and
Napoleon were conquered, but Grant
never lost a battle, and Grant had fully
examined the case and had said injus-
tice had been done Porter. On the
judgment Of that soldier he proposed
to vote in favor of the bill. He be-
lleved that doing justice to a man
was the sweetest attribute to humanity.
He would follow Grants Judgment
against that of Captains and Colonels
of militia. Laughter.
The debate on the Porter bill was
continued at length. General j. 5.
Wise, speaking mot as u Confederate
general, F" paid a most eloquent tribute
to the memory of the dead soldiers.
He declared ''this the most anomalous
scene ever witnessed in the history in
any land, where the vanquished were
called upon to cast a decisive weight in
the contested balance of the victors."
For himself, he accepted the issue pre-
sented.
Hoar concluded. In the name of
good discipline in the army; in the
name of thousands of men whose spir-
its are calling upon congress to do its
duty in their memory, he protested
against the passage OF the bill.
The house then adjourned.

C. B. & O. Stands Firm.

Chicago, January ga careful
inquiry among western railway mana
gers does not change the general situa-
ton from that stated in last nights
dispatches. The declaration that me-
gotiations have been resumed with a
view to forming a pooling arrangement
which would include the Burlington, is
denied by parties most closely interes-
ted. Officials of the Burlington declare
that it has not receded from its original
position TO be admitted on equal terms
with four other Omaha roads in sharing
in local business of the Union Pacific
road. A chance conversation between
three managers after the conference
yesterday has been magnifed in some
quarters as a resumption of negotia.
tions. But this General Manager
Potter, Of the Burlington, denies by
telegraph. The only hope now expressed
is that the managers will agree to
maintain rates, Notwithstanding the
failure to organize a general pool. The
belief does net appear to be generally
entertained that Utah rates will bt
restored next Monday.

Hutchinson County Record: The re-
snit Of the Pierre convention ought to
be satisfactory to every one living in
south Dakota. Raymond had many
friends in the south and had no doubt, AZ
delegate, tried to represent the whole Of
Dakota. But above and beyond the acts
or interests Of any one man is the inter
est Of south Dakota. Division on the
46th parallel is our shiboleth, and for
once south Dakota has been able to for
get former differences and to ignore
factions that had their origin in
grass.hopper days. This q consumma.
ton long devoutly wished BY all true
s. Clifford. has all the qualities that
should commend him to the whole peo.
pie. An old resident, having lived in
the territory some fourteen years good

tured gentleman. The people OF
the north can rest assured that
Judge Clifford will represent them
as truly as any man they could
have chosen. Many of the northern
people Joined heartily with south Da-
kota-urging the claims of this half.
There should be no bitterness over the
result and we apprehend there will be
none. Two years ago when north Da.
kota man was nominated the south &C.
quiesced and joined heartily in support
of the nominee. We expect the same
treatment from the north now. Glfford'e

much hunting found him last Sunday at
the West Bow church and brought him
to town and lodged him in Jail. Brun-
ing is dangerous man to run at large,
and must be kept confined somewhere.
The asylum authorities pronounce him
lpcurable and for that reason turn him
loose! It is about as much as q mans
life is worth to capture him and
Capt. Phillips has had the job several
times. 1t seems to US that an asylum
where lunatics if they are we'll behaved
and of no more trouble to board than
sane persons can be kept. but not the
ugly ones, is of not much benefit to the
tax payers of the state. The tax payers
paid for the building OF the asylums and
pay for the maintenance of them, but it
seems the keepers turn loose all who are
troublesome. The way the Columbus
asylum is managed is disgrace to the
state aud should be looked into. 1t ls
expensive business for Cedar county to
take these two insane persons back to
the asylum half dozen times year.
