The Fitz John Portee Bill.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The House went
into committee of the whole to-day on the
Fitz John Porter bill, with Springer in the
chair.
Thomas, of Illinois, delivered q violent
speech In opposition to the bill. He re-
viewed the war record of Gen. John Pope,
and pronounced him hero for his valor,
gallantry and ability, and vigorously de-
Tended Pope's course toward Porter. He
scathlngly referred to Porter as the "ofiieer
who had sulked In his tent" Thomas refer
red to the circumstance of General Logan
being superseded in command Of the army
Of Tennessee by a West Pointer three days
after he (Logan) had "saved the army" He
said the removal of Mcclellan filed the
heart Of Porter with venom and hatred to-
ward everybody. He characterized McClel-
Ian rs "a man taken up by the Copps,heads
and Sons of Liberty for the Presidency
against Abraham LINCOLN"
Follett, of Ohio, appealed to the House to
discuss and consider the question from .
wholly nom partisan standpoint, and depre-
Gated the language and auimus Of Thomas
speech In denouncing graduates of West
Point, and making the question pc litical
one.
Bedford said The had the courage and bold
ness to do what was Just, without regard to
any popular prejudice. That Pompey, Han
nibal and Napoleon were conquered, but
Grant never lost Q battle, and Grant had
fully examined the case, and said that an in
justice had been done to Porter. On the
judgment of that great soldier he proposed
to predicate his vote In favor of the bill. He
believed that doing justice to man was the
sweetest attribute to humanity. He would
follow Grants judgment against that of
Captains and Colonies of the militia.
Laughter.l
Horr, of Michigan, characterized himself
as "stay at home" In speaking Of Grants
letter fsvoriDg Porter, Horr said: "It had
been his pleasure to come Is near worship
ping Grant as he ever did any man the coun-
try had produced. The gentlemen of the
other side had been slandering and villifying
Grant, and calling him all kinds of hard
names for years. They had called him .
butcher, and other names which the pres
ence of ladies in the gallery prevented him
from repeating" [Laughter.l "Grsnt Is a
grand old man." continued Horr, "but he
male mistake in this Porter case, and as
long as 1t was the only mistake of his life,
he (Horr) was going to stand by him longer
than the gentlemen on the other side would.
They had not agreed with Grant for . min
ute, except on this one case, when Grant
happened to agree with them" Laughter
Horr concluded: ain the name of good
discipline in the army In the name of thou.
sands Of men, whose spirits are calling on
Congress to do Its duty to their memory"
he protested against the passage of the bill.
The committee then rose and the House ad.
journed.

Chinese New Years.

Failing to secure from any of our resident
Cinnamon information rs to the history and
customs Of the above anniversary, which we
thought would be of interest to our readers,
we avail ourselves of that obtained by some
of our more successful contemporaries.
The Livingston Enterprise says: On Satur-
day at o'clock p. m. the great Chinese feast
of the New Year began. This Ii called in
their language "Quon En-" and Ii the ami
versary OF the accession to the throne OF
China of Fook Hee, the first king or empe-
ror Yesterday dated the beginning of the
year 5l26 In the Chinese chronology. The
holiday season, where carried to the full ex-
tent, lasts seven days, each being celebrated
in an especial manner, consisting mostly OF
feasting upon the peculiar Chinese Injuries.
These peculiar people regard IL as a species
OF religious duty to celebrate their New Year,
aud upon that day all are supposed to be Of
equal dignity and equally entitled TO share
In the holiday feast
The Miner adds The first day the religious
duties compel the heather to feast on meats
generally chicken; to wear long coats, and
not to utter an untruth or an evil word. On
the second day all pay tribute 10 the gods,
call on friends, aud exclaim, II wish you
Happy New Year, and may you have plenty
of riches"
The Chinese religion Is negative. BY
keeping up n constant noise they believe
the evil one is frightened away, and thus for
one week they are out of his power.
The Helena Herald notes the fact that the
Chinese New Year of 1888 began on the 7th
OF last February, while that Of 1884 was ush-
cred In on the 9th of January, showing that
the beginning of their year is regulated not
exactly AZ the movable feasts in the Christian
calendar, but in accordance with the compu-
tation that gives them additional time every
FIVE years, counting twenty-nine and thirty
days TO every moon, o, from one full moon
10 another. They are not only celebrating
the beginning of the new year, but the spring
season, which includes the three months OF
January, February and March.

The Oregon Stage Robbery.

A private dispatch from Roseburg, Oregon,
says that the south bound stage was stopped
beyond Grants Pass by highwaymen, and
robbed. The stage carried the mails, pas.
sengers, and Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express
treasure box. The express packages and
letters were rifed. 1t Is supposed the rob-
bers got away with about 5000. Neither the
United States mail nor the passengers were
disturbed.
The robbery was committed by two masked
men, who slipped from the timber to the
middle of the road, covered the driver with
rifles, and ordered him to throw out all ex-
press matter. When this was done they
allowed the stage to pass on. A party of
armed men proceeded at once to the scene
of the robbery, but failed to find the treasure
box or any of its contents. There Is not the
slightest clue, and it will probably be q very
difficult matter to ferret the robbers out.

An old lumber schooner bearing the mel
li1uous name Of Telunah has been tied up
near the boat house at the Brooklyn navy
yard for several days. Two BOSSES twelve
men, two mules, and steam engine have
unloaded the timber.
One man ran the engine. One overhauled a
rope SO that an end could be passed through
an opening in the bow of the schooner. Three
men watched the other man. One boss watched
the three men wa .ch the other man. One man
in the hold of the schooner caught the end of
the rope and passed it to another man. The
other man made it fast to the timber. A

The Americas Girl.


Put an American girl by the side OF her
English sister, and the contrast is as instruct
i've as the jealousy of the English matron is
edifying. Our conventionalties have not
sunk into her being, and she is shrewd
enough to discriminate what part OF them
has real and what a pretended worth.
Therefore she can transgress them without
the transgression being imputed upon her for
sin, and she does. Her transgressions and
her criticism give her half her piquacy, but
what is amusing in her would be embarrass-
ing in her English sister. Her natural quick
ness of perception has, moreover, been sharp
ened by more travelling than falls to the lot
of the ordinary English girl Tables d'hote,
and second rate foreign society, If they have
not added to her refinement, have taught
her precocious self.possession.
The English girl, though temporarily
ecipsed by her rival, need not despair. Her
qualities will tell in the long run. The ap-
parent distinction and tact OF the American
girl is as snowy and as smart and as little
part of her as her Partisan dresses. Real re-
finement is the attribute Of a leisured class
This does not exist in the states, except III
the narrow puritan circle in Boston. The
feverish pushing and striving, aud barbarous
ostentation of the men, must react upon their
sisters And, indeed. American women are
the most snowy, restless and unquiet, in the
world, Rcpose and dignity are alien to them.
Smartness is their ideal.
Nor are they physically equal To the over
Swallowed English girl. Far from evolving
superior, American civilization seems
destined to evolve an inferior type of women.
The American girl is as different from her
English sister as the women Of the insipid
American parlor fiction are different from
the women with hearts and brains Of the ro-
buster literature of Fielding and Scott

"About the quickest way to use up money

"Is it more profitable than billiard-tablesf"
"Yes, indeed, it is. Just make a compare
son. billiard-table never brings in more
than so cents an hour, and out Of that must
come the wear and tear and cost of four gas
lights. In the shooting gallery, where pow
der cartridges are used, the usual price is six
shots for % cents. Under ordinary circum-
stances it takes less than three minutes to
shoot six times. i have seen six shots cred
in half that time. That would bring in "a. 80
an hour, however, at the rate Of six shots in
three minutes. The cost OF the cartridges is
trifiing. An excellent target rifle can be
bought for $25. An excellent billiard table
costs $500, and there is less wear and tear on
the rifle. From this you can see that one
target, with equal business, brings in as much
as five billiard-tables.
