Fighting the War Over gain.
| WAsHINGroN, June l6th.-Echos of the
war were heard again in the House to-day,
| Sklrmlshers on both sides open fire when
ever the subject of pensions comes up in
| any form, and general engagement is al
| ways imminent at such times. Brisk firing
| began when the clause in the legislative
, bill making appropriations for the Pension
| Bureau was reached. II is true nothing
was said that has not been said before time
| and again. The main question at issue
, was as to which political party furnished
| the most soldiers. Suggestions were made
| by Randolph of Pennsylvania, that night
session be held to afford gentlemen an op-
portunity to fight over the war, and by Pay
| son of Illinois, that a commission be APP
| pointed to ascertain the facts as to the
| politics of all soldiers who enlisted i'll the
| Union army. Some members suggested
| that no such inquiry would be necessary
| regarding those who entered the Con-
| federata army. Governor Curtin of
Pennsytvans arose and began
| to speak, and members from
| both Fsides crowded around him.

cock, of the Boston Board of Health, to-
! day addressed the Senate Committee on
Agriculture on the subject of oleomargarine
, He believed it healthful preparation.
George II. Webster, CT the firm of Armour
Il Co, Chicago, thought the discovery of
oleomargarine had increased the value of
each head of cattle s., by reason of the
increased value of the fats utilized in the
manufacture of oleo oil. Should a tax be
imposed it would inure wholly to the ben
| tries, with whom the United States had to
compete. He did not think it right that
oleomargarine which was a pure and
wholesome product, should be taxed be-
cause it came into competition with another
article. II should. of course, be sold under
its true name. He respectfully urged the
! appointment of a committee 10 examine
the various oleomargarine and butterine
| factories.
