Passage of the Bin Restoring General Fitz
John Porter.
WASHINGTON, Feb. IB.-The Speaker an
nonnced the appointment Of Mr.. Findlay, of
Maryland, as a member of the committee on
banking and currency, to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by the resignation of Mr.. Curtin, Of Penn
syfvania.
Mr.. Crisp, of Georgia, from the committee on
Pacific railroads. reported a bill amending the
Pacific railroad acts so as to compel these rail
roads to pay to the United States the amounts
paid out by it for surveying che lands to which
they are entitled. Placed on the House calen-
dar.
In the morning hour the House resumed con-
sideration Of the bill forfeiting the Atlantic g.
Pacific railroad land grant.
The bill was discussed without any result be-
ing reached until the expiration of the morning
hour; aud then the House went into COM
mittee Of the whole-Mr. Springer. Of Illinois, in
the chair-on the Fitz John Porter bill.
Mr.. Phelps. of New Jersey. spoke in favor of
the bill. as did Mr.. Curtin. of Pennsylvania. Mr..
Warner, of Ohio, also favored the bill. Mr..
Bragg, of Wisconsin, closed the debate in sup
port of the bill.
Mr.. Eyerhart, of Pennsylvania, moved to re-
commit the bill. with instructions to strike out
the words. prior to his appointment under this
act so as to make the proviso read: ''Said Fitz
John Porter shall receive no pay. compensation
or allowance whatsoever"
Mr.. Reed, suggesting that this gave an oppor-
tunity for vindicating Porter from any question
of money, demanded the yeasand nays. The mo-
ton torecommit was lost--yeas liz. nays Ia.
Mr.. Bragg. of Wisconsin, who had demanded
the previous question, withdrew the demand,
and again took the floor in support of the bill.
After speaking some time he said that the
gentleman from Michigan [Mr. Cutcheon] had
taken the report of the second battle of Bull
Run, and read the number and killed and wound
ed, ON the Goth of August, for the purpose of
showing there had been q general battle. If the
gentleman had been disposed to be ingenious,
he would have stated that the heading of these
reports was casualties between Aug. 16 and
Sept. ~
Mr.. Cutcheon declared that he had so stated in
his speech.
Mr.. Bragg-You took a table of figures from a
heading that covered almost a month, and You
have published it in your speech as evidence of
tho losses on the 29th. and your Republican con-
stituents, who do not read anything but your
speeches in a Republican newspaper, will think
that a historical evidence of the war.
Mr.. Cutcheon declared the heading of the table
showed precisely what it was.
Mr. Bragg declined to yield. and Mr.. Cutcheon
asserted his right to reply. as he had been mis-
quoted.

PAsPEBIAc, Que, Feb. 18.-This was a COM
paratively quiet day here, although a number of
persons were lowering about stores demanding
assistance. They threatened to return to-mor-
row, and said that if they were not given all
they wanted they would help them selves. The
situation is more critical than ever. The relief
committee could furnish food to the poor if they
had the services of a force of constables to pro-
tect the stores from being raided. Many of
those who carried away loads of provisions on
Monday are said to have been well-to-do.

Some time during the early hours yester-

entrance to the store of Black Kramer,
dealers in notions, at $50 Main street, under
the Pico House. They tried to break the
iron bar in front of one door. which closes
it by means of paddock, bu. only succeed
ed in bending 1t. Then they tried the
other door, which was fastened on the in
side, by attempting to pry it open with
bar. Inside, against the door there was a
desk from which a lamp was thrown as
they attempted an entrance. This scared
the would-be thieves away Had they been
able to enter this store they could have
gained entrance. by climbing partition,
