HoUsE-The House went into Committee of the Whole on the private calendar, the bill taken up being that to restore the name of General PIeasanton to the retired list. In the course of the debate MT. White, of Ken lucky, in reply to somewhat sneering query by General RosecraRs as to whether he con- sidered himself as one of the young men superior to General PleRsantoR, retorted that there were lands in California that but for the action of General Rosecrans would now belong to the soldiers.
 Gen. Rosecraus attempted in an excited manner to interrupt, but MT. White declined to yield. MT. Rosecrans asked Mr. White if he was responsible for his words, to which Mr. White replied that he was. His time having expired Mr. White was rapped down and the debate in committee having been limited, the controversy, at least for the time being4 stopped at this point. The bill was amended further by striking out the words brigadier general and inserting the word colonel.
 Mir. Steele, of Indiana, moved to strike out the enacting clause of the bill; rejected, 63 to 102. MT. Steele then offered an amend ment that the names Of all soldiers of the late war suffering total disability from wounds or disease incurred in the service be placed on the retired list of the army with the rank of brigadier general; ruled out of order.
 The bill was then laid aside to be reported to the House.
 The bill to appoint and retire Alfred Pleas anton 8 colonel on the retired list was re- ported to the House.

Jackson, Miss, Sept. a. Last
night tho north.bound mail train
was boarded at Crystal Springs by
Sonny Smith and Bob MARROW, who
were on q spree. They at once be.
gan to modest and mistreat the
passengers. They played all sorts
of rough pranks on them, and
when demonstrated with MARROW
would present his pistol and ter.
rorize their victims. They went
in the ladies' car aud behaved out
rageously,an conductor McShane
had them promptly elected.
Returning to the smoking car
they found two drummers stretch
ed on two seats wrapped in the
arms of Morpheus, and they pro.
ceeded to count one, two, three
and tip toe up, and with concert
of action they both sat down on

explanation, and when MARROW
lcveled his gun aud said, "That's

drummer, 81 don't want that"
throwing up both hands. Their
next victim was boy, whom they
ill.treated and closed out of the

The Sew Shakespearcan Departure.

The production of "King john"
with appropriate scenery and cos.

of that new departure IN dramatic

he to do for Easter piecei And
when the actors were shown the
peculiar tin.pot helmets they had
to wear they declared the audi

Phlladelphla Times.
The people of Virginia are given
a glimpse of the advantages of that

and Mechanics Bank of Peters.
burg. The bank had on deposit
upward Of $4,000 Of the State
money, and seems to have lent the
State officials aud their friends,
either by over drafts or on unse-
cured notes, q sum nearly or quito
equal TO tho amount of the State
funds it held. BY simple trans.
fer OF the money to the bank in
the shape OF a deposit, the State
officials and political leaders were
enabled to have the use of the
State money, without rendering
themselves liable for embezzle-
ment in the case they failed to pay
it when due. The State by this
means has lost the money and has
no remedy, apparently, except the
useless one of q civil action
against an insolvent bank.
These revelations place Malone
and his followers in worse light
before the public than even their
bitterest enemies expected. That
tho Malone system OF carrying
on political campaigns Involved
the expenditure Of large sums OF
money was well known, but it was
generally supposed that tho money
thus expended was gathered BY
assessing the Office holders right
and left, or was contributed di'
rectly by Malone and such of his
lieutcnants as possessed means OF
their own. II now looks rs though
the taxpayers had been furnishing
q good share of the money.
OF course nobody need be sur
prised at these revelations, and tC
u certain extent tho Virginia tax
payers themsclves are not to b,
pitied. Men who arc willing t.
repudiato public obligations can
not bc expected to be scrnpulouf
about borrowing no more money
than they can pay, and rs n major
ity of the Virginians wore willing

vocated by Malone In regard 4
the public creditors they can have
no just cause of complaint If thei
reputation chickens have CONT
