WASHINGTON, January 10, 1884.
SENATE.
The Senate was not in session to-day.

StNAIF.
The Senate was not in session to-day.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
The House met to-day for debate only
on the Fitz-John Porter bill and having
gone into Committee OF the Whole, the
floor was accorded to Mr.. Cutcbeon, Of
Michigan, q member of the minority of the
Committee on Military Affairs. 1t was, he
said, embarrassing for him to stand here
in the face OF the opinions Of military men
so distinguished as the gentlemen from
California and New York Generals Rose
Grams and Slocum) to differ from them In
regard TO military matter, but bis embar-
rassment disappeared when he remembered
that the principal question In this case was
not u matter OF military strategy, but OF
the sitting of facts and law.
Mr.. Greenleaf, Of New York, spoke in
favor OF the bill.
Mr.. Browne, OF Indiana. followed in op-
position.
Mr.. McAdoo. OF New Jersey. advocated
the bill, and Mr.. Taylor, OF Ohio, closed
the debate for the day In opposition TO il.
The House remained in session until 3
o'clock, and the debate was much more
animated and interesting than is usually
the case on Saturdays. and the attendance
was larger.
