The bill restoring Gen. Fitz-Joh Porter
to his former rank in the army passed
the Senate on Friday by fair majority,
Gen. Logan failing to hold the Republi-
cans together in opposition to the bill.
Having previously passed the House OF
Representatives, the bill now goes to the
President for his approval, of which there
is no doubt. Thus has this measure OF
justice to distinguished soldier at last
become law, and after so many years OF
unmerited disgrace the cloud which the
prejuGices of the war period cast upon his
escutcheon has been swept away by re-
turning sense of justice On the part of the
people and their representatives in Con,
gress. Considering that the injustice
done to Gen. Porter by the hasty judg-
ment of the former court-martial has been
SO long ago recognized and so freely ex-
posed by Gen. Grant and other leading
Federal officers, the action Of Gen. Logan
and some others in Congress in so persist
emily combating the bill having in view
redress OF the grievance is not easily ex-
planned. 1t has been in large measure,
no doubt, due to an effort to protect Gen
Pope from the well deserved charge of in
com potency preferred against him.

The strikers riot just outside of the
Chicago City limits, on the Lake Shore
Railroad last Saturday, was one of the
most wanton that have yet occurred. The
striking switchmen stole two engines, and,
crowding a hundred men on the cabooscs,
started madly off to capture two other en-
ginss that had been sent out defended by
seventy policemen. They overlook them,
smashed into them, and captured them
after pusillanimous show of defence by
the police. The rioting is likely to be re-
newed this week. The only cause of COM
plant is that the railroad refuses to dis
charge eight men who are not members Of
the union. 1t is clear case of bulldezing
and violence. The authorities should
have provided against the danger as they
had sixty days warning that the strike
would be enforced. The blame belongs
about equally to the sheriff of Cook Coun-
ty and the Governor of Illinois who have
proved themselves utterly incompetent to
do their duty in keeping the peace. We
wonder how much more violence it will
require to wake up the people of Chicago
and Illinois to sense of their duty.

The San Francisco Bulletin calls atten-
ton to the fact that the next United States
Senator from Calfornia will be chosen IN
der political conditions for which no par
allel is furnished except in the case of the
first Senators elected. There will be no
hold-over Senators in the next Legislature.
Neither party will have, therefore, any
boarded political power. In Novsmb Der
next full Senate as well as full Assem-
bly, will have to be embodied by the cleo
tors This is politicaI event which the
trainers of the constitution contemplated
should have taken place in 1882. But by
a chain of very peculiar circumstances it
has been pos poned to 1886. OF the forty
Senators who will be chosen only twenty
will st for four years; that is to say. the
Senators from the even districts Al the
general election in 1888 Senators will have
to be elected from the odd districts.

following in regard to Marylandi MARY
land increased in population nearly 90 per
cent between 1870 and 1880. In the pre-
ceeding ten years she increased only about
1871 per cent. In those 30 years Charles
county gained about 1900 persons, Calver,
about $50, ST. Msrys about 1,40o, Anne
Arundel about 1880, while Queen Anne

Attorney General Hurd, of Indiana, W ho

Attorney General Hurd, of Indiana, who
has just returned from visit to Utah, is
reported to have said: "The only way, l
believe that Mormonism can ever be
reached is to enact law enabling a woman
who has been sealed" to a Mormon to
recover a proportionate share of his pos
sessions and to obtain divorce whenever
she becomes dissatisfied. Then encourage
few adventuresses to 60 to Utah, become
sealed to the wealthy Mormons, and in
a few weeks, as a purely business transact
ton. become dissatisfied and demand q
division. You can reach them through
their pockets quicker than any other way"

illness of erysipelas, died at his home in
Bloomington, Illinois on Saturday last.
He was of Welsh decent, and was q native

from the 9th Maryland district, made a
speech in the House of Representatives re-
Gently, in which he took occasion to go

termed Democratic extravaganza. Hepre-

that the aggregate appropriations which
had already passed the House at the pre-
sent session amounted to $36S, 646,311 81

vious sessions. We have already publish

Entertainment at the Y. NC. A.

very pleasant entertainment was held at the
Y. Nj. c. A. Hall on the evening of Tuesday April
9th.
At the invitation of Mr.. Theo H. Davies cordi-
ally backed by the Committee, over one hundred
and twenty officers and men of H. b. NJ. Ships
Heroine and Satellite, assembled forthe purpose of
enjoying pleasant sociabe evening wirh the cltl-
zens of Honolulu.
Captains Backburne and Abingdon and a large
sprinkling of officers we're early in the Hall, and
before O'Clock the place was fairly crowded. The
proceedings we're opened by short and humorous
speech from Mr. Davies, after which the entertain
ment as arranged by programme, began The
first part consisted of musical pieces vocal and
instrumental, by many of our foremost aematurs.
A duet by the Misses Won Holt, violin solo by Mr..
Yarndley, and songs by Miss Rhodes, Miss Bernice
Parke Miss hathaway, and Messrs. Holdsworth,
Starkey and Davies were well given and heartily
applauded, indeed, Mr.. Davies had TO beg that 10
encores should be insisted on. Mr.. Fuller, the
Secretary of the Y. Nj. G. 4. followed with short
but very telling address congratulating theguests
on their being homeward bound in a local and
temporary sense, and reminding them that we
all were homeward bound inEI higher and more
asting sense.
The second part of the entertainment consisted
of songs and Rotations, patriotic, nautical, and
cOmical by the seamen and marines of Her Maj
esty's ships, given by men of the Heroine and
Satellite alternately II is impossible to name
every individual where all did so we'll but mention
may be made of Colour Sergeant Jones of the
Heroine who recited a story of the Ashantee eX-
petition, many songs and recitation followed, SO
excsllently given that the proposal that
should be called for went by the board, and several
singers had to re-appeaT.
A quartette sung by seamen and marines con-
clUded the musical part of the evening. Captain
Blackburne thanked the ladies and gentlemen of
Honolulu for their kindness, Captain Abingdon
added a few words to the same effect, and called
for three cheers for Honolulu friends, which were
given most Justify. verse of God Save the Queen
sung by the whole assembly, after which ice
cream and cakes were handed round, and the COM
pany dispersed, not without mutual congratula-
lions on having spent an eminently enjoyable
evening.

bowers Patent Bending Machine.

Mr.. Dover has been further illustrating the supe-
rior usefulness of bis Patent Bending Machine"
by bending number of carriage shafts and wheel
rims on ii, Any mechanic, boat, carriage, or
house builder can see at glance its advantage
over the old methods of bending, both for rapidity
and accurac and above all the greater strength
and hexibili of the finished article. This method
entirely rem yves the necessity of cutting curved
shapes out O. the solid by bending the timber to
the required curves without cutting across the
grain. The U1at-builder will find himself able to
set up his tim6ers in one piece from gunwale to
gunvale without scarf, butt, or laps, thus in q
cargo-boat there is no danger of breaking floor or
starting a butt by the fall of log or cask into
the bottom of the boat. For surf-boats or life
boats the superior ghtness and elasticity Of boats
constructed with frames bent by DOwers Patent
is unavoidably noticeable. For boats liable to be
lowered from the davits ina heavy sea the advan-
tage is very remarkable. If a boat be suddenly
dropped upon sea- or struck from underneath
there are no butts or ends to START the bottom of
the boat presents all along the supreme resistance
of the crown of an arch, instead of series of floor
ends dependent on the holding power of nails as
in ordinary boats. Again, this system is admir-
ably adapted for yachts coasters ETC., to be dag
onally built, which require but light frame to
hold the first diagonal.
For wagOn-shafts or wheel rims, the steel bars
and buckle screws alone may be fixed on any plat
form or mOlding table and curves of any kind may
be readily bent.
The method of working is exceedingly simple.
skeleton frame of light battens is made on
which Is run III the various sections timbers of
the vessel or any other set of curves. These are
marked down on the platform. The steel bars are
then brought TO the Indicated lines and held by the
buckle screws. In the case of a boats timber to
run from gunwale to gunwale, the timber, say ~
inch oak, is brought from the steam-boI and
clamped first ut the keel or stud-bolts then bent
along the steel bars on each side and followed up
with clamps at necessary intervals. II is then
braced as may be deemed sufficient and taken off
the bars which may be once re-adjusted toa diff
ferent mold and the process repeated. Five min
utes from the steambox TO its place the Keel is
Bending Machine, when once known, will be an
indispensable part of the apparatus of every build
er's workshop, and new industry may be thus in
