period on the floor of the House to-day
over allegations Of railroad wrecking
in those commemorative. The COM
batants were Messrs. Powers, of Yer

and the occasion of strife was the con-
sideration of the report OF the conferees
upon the bill providing for the incor-
poration of the purchasers OF the At
lantic and Pacific railroad.
A GIGANTIC JOB.
The provisions of the bill We're au-
thorized by Mr.. Barrett. who charged
that they concealed q gigantic scheme
of stock jobbcry.
Mr.. Powers denied that there was
anything of the sort in the BILL and add
ed that ifthcrc had been any wrccking
of the road, as suggested by the gentle
man from Massachusetts, il had been
done by people in and around Boston.
In this connection lie sarcastically re-
ferl'ed To Mr. BaTctts Congressional
experience, which he compared to that
of n rose. which withered and wasted
its sweetness on n desert air. In reply
Mr.. Barrett gave the House the history
of the receivership of the Central Yer
mont railroad, conducted by the Su-
preme Court Of that STATE, and extend
ing over a period of thirty years, which,
he said. was the most fraudulent case
of railroad wreclling the country had
ever seen.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Harmon has prepared a petition
for writ OF certorari to bring UP for
review by the Supreme Court of the
United States lie ease NJ he Three
Friends the alleged iilibustering steam
cr. from the United STAGES Court for
the southern district of Florida, which
lie VIII present To the court at its ses-
sion on Monday next An appeal from
The decision of Judge Long in the case
has been taken to the Court os APP
neals for the Fifth Circuit, where it
is now pending.
In the petition the Attorney G cneral
saws:
GROUNDS OF THE PETITION.
The question involved in this case
is whether the words colony. district
or people," in Section 52S3 Revised
Statutes. are confined in application to
political bodies whose belligcrency has
been formally recognized: the Three
Friends having been fitted out and
armed in aid of the present insurrec-
tion in Cuba. which insurr'%stio is suf-
ncicntlS notorious and extensive to have
received the attention of the Govern
ment of this country for nearly two
Years past. although the insurgents
have not received any recognition of
DeiilSerency-of all which the courts
take judicial notice.
The question Is very important
since If the section under consideration
is not applicable to such expeditions in
SUPPORT of the present Cuban insurrec-
ton these expeditions are piiatical in
character, and prosecutions should be
instituted under the provisions of the
Revised Statutes.
The question, moreover, Is of especial
Importance because II arises likewise
under Section 52S2 OF the Revised Stat
utes and elsewhere. K
AMERICAN HONOR IN DANGER.
Unlawful expeditions in aid of the
Cuban insurrectionists, cndangering
the honor and dignity OF the United
states. are continually in preparation,
and il is of great Importance that the
construction of the statutes intended 10
preserve the neutral and pacific rela-
tons of the United States should be
noithed as carly as possible.
For these reasons the Secretary of
state has requested that an applica-
tion be made at once for II writ of GER
ttorari to review the decision of the Cir
cult Court
The Attorney General, concurring in
the opinion and believing the present to
be one of the exceptional cases which
warrant the issuance of such a writ
lower appellate court. respectfully pre-
sents his application"

In an interview to-day he outlined the

statements to the facts of the cXDedj-
tion. and that he has been liable to arrest
and imprisonment for violating the neu-
traiitE laws, the same as Captain Wi
Dofg, OF the steamer Horsa, who Is now

ing a long sentence for n exactly similar
