HOUSE.

In the second morning hour Adams,
OF Illinois, on behalf Of the Committee
on Banking and Currency, called up the
bill to enable National Banking Asso-
Citations to increase their capital stock
and change their names or locations
The bill passed. yeas. l29; nays. 100.
Adams entered a motion to reconsider
and to lay that motion on the table, but
the morning hour having expired final
action was not taken.
The House at 2 o'clock went into
Committee of the Whole on the Fitz-
John Porter bill. The debate was open
ed by Mr.. Haynes, of New Hampshire,
in support of the bill. The strongest
prejudice which he had ever entertained
had been against Porter, but it had dis
appeared when he commenced 10 exam
inc the case. He did not share in the
estimate of Pope entertained by many
Of Porter's friends, but he believed that
II any other OF Pope's Generals had been
in Porter's place, and had acted as
Porter had acted, there would never
have been court-martial and no Union
General OF that campaign would have
suffered for more than twenty years q
stigma worse than death. 1t had been
Porter's disrespeotful and inexcusable
allusions to Pope that had singled him
out as an object Of suspicion aud as an
object OF revenge. Porter had been one
Of the growlers and his punishment had
been out of all proportion to his offence.
Both Lincoln and Grant 1t one time had
equally believed in the justice Of Por-
ter's sentence, but when an oppor-
tunity had been given for a calm
dispassionate review Of the case had pro.
claimed the injustice Of the verdict and
became earnest champions of Porter's
cause and he was bold man who darad
impugn the military Judgment Of U. 8.

Haynes believed, Lincoln and Grant
would have stood together in the de-
nand for justice to Fitz-John Porter.
Mr. Steele, of Indiana, took the floor
in opposition TO the bill aud promised
his speech with the remark: "What in

Of detail upon the military operations
Of the 29th Of August, MFR. Steele CON
cluded his speech as follows: ''if we
have wars hereafter they will be for the

our action that we want any man Of
Porter's kind TO command when the

and battery and who was relating his
story to the, Judge. A traveller on

which were cheerfully accorded with
true Southern hospitality. After

kitchen and then back again, and,
Judge, stood that, because he was
under my roof and had eaten salt at
my table. Then he ran out into the
yard and heaved stone through tho
window, and, Judge, stood that,
because was determined to he hos
pitable. But / went out to the fel-
low, and / says to him, Now, sec
here, old fellow, I've given you sup
per and fed your horse, and in return
you've insulted my wife, chased my
daughter and heaved stone through
the window, but Ill overlook all that
because you are my guest, il you'll
only come into the house, behave
yourself and go to bed. Then Ill
give you a good breakfast and send
you off rejoicing And by thunder,
Judge, what do you think he did
then? Why, as sure as you're alive

Sentenced to be Spanked.

George Parker, colored boy, was
before Justice Rhodes, Baltimore, re-
Gently, charged with throwing stones
through the windows of the Baltimore
Light Infantry's armory, corner of
Mulberry street and Carrollton ave-
nue.. He was a very little boy. and
his mother was very much worried,
so Justice Rhodes told her he would
let the boy go, if she would give him a
good, oid-fashioued "spanking." She
agreed, and therefore she was handed
a strap. George didn'tseem 70 worry
at tile prospect; indeed, he gazed on
his mother and the strap so-noncha-
lently that Sergeant Lanahan grew
suspicious. Heinvestigated and found
that George was wearing two pair of
stout trousers and third stout pair
of drawers. The sergeant carefully
prepared the boy. and then his mother
gave him the spanking, II is not

a dark mass lying Between TIE up aZid Tho
down lines, Al tie very last moment the
way had been made clear to Sarah Miller.
Even as she fell with her victim her one
thought was of freaziei joy that she had
found the means 10 do Gods work
For minute or two after the last car
riage Of the train had swept by, that black
mass lay rotionleSs III the siS-foot way.
Then part Of it began 10 show signs of life.
Slowly and painfully the woman detached
herself from her victim. She rose to her
knees, and remained there staring tixe>ily at
the white face that looked up TO her own.
Her frenzy for the moment had passed and
she scarcely knew what had happened or
what she had dona
She was unhurt. The man had struck the
ground first, and so borne the bruut of the
shock HIS head had fallen heavily ON the
ballast CT the line, and he lay without SenSe
or motion Was he deadl
This, when her dSjointed sud scattered
thoughts were once more able 10 reSuns the
terrible kaleidoscope pattern into which
fsnaticism had shaken them, was the one
question asked by the woman. She felt for
the moment no remorSe, no horror, but the
dread seizsd her that her hand might ha 70
failed: that the work might not vet be done;
that she had not fulfilled her destiny. She
bent over the PROSTATE man and placed her
cheek close to his lips
He breathed, She felt the FAINT breath
on her cheek! She laid her hand on his
heart and felt its pulSationS, slowly distinct.
She spraug to her feet with sharp cry OF
distress She had failedi Hervey was alive
and would recover. The work had not been
done,
She peerei wildly into the darkness. She
scarcely knew for what she looked. A large
stone, q piece of iron, anything which would
show her that the hand which had guided
her so far on the fearful road of fate had
not deserted her; but she found nothing,
absolutely nothing which could serve her
need
But suddenly, away along the down line
she saw a round red lightcCeeping apparently
nearer and nearer. Her heart leapei a. the
sight. To the uttermosS hitteYest end tn,
way was clear The final word had gone
forth, the final revelation was made to her
She placed her hands under the mans
shoulders and by an effort of strength,
desperate and far beyond what might have
been expected from her frame, dragged him
over the few fest OF roadway which lay
between him ami the metals. He groanei
once or twice, but remained senSeless and
motionleSs as she placed him right in the
track of the coming train.
