Mr. BeUtord, of Colorado--"I want to know whether the gentleman* judgment, in the Fitz JohnPorter ewe is better than that of the greatest soldier this world has seen from the time Of Julius Cesar down to this time. 1 mean Ulysses & Grant." [Applause on the Democratic side.] Mr. Follett, of Onio, had hoped the ques­ tion would not be disensse:! as a political one; K+ dtsoovered In the speech of the gentle­ man from Illinois (Mr. Thomas) the animas of the case. It was not treason against the Government that Fitz Jchn Porter was charged with, but treason against Pope. If there wen any men on the floor capable of P«««iiig impartially on the merits of this con­ troversy they wore the men who had not had Ut* prejudices, passions and feelings aroused by personal antagonism between two men, each of whom oocupied a conspicuous position in the army of the North. [Applause on the Demo­ cratic Bide.} Mr. Belford said Gen. Grant was the UIUIUMI soldier that had appeared since the time of Julius Cesar. Pompey was conquered. Hannibal was Conquered. Napoleon was con- quered. Bat Grant D»ver lost a battle. Gen. Giant has fully examined this case, and has said injustice had been done Gen. Porter. On tlio Jadgment of that great and wonderful soldier, he proposed tx> predicate hte vote in fkvor of this bill. [Applause on the IMpocratic sida.] Ho believed in doing justioe tovinan. It was the sweetest attribute o humanity. It was the sweetest attribute of God Almighty Himself. He proposed to bury the prejudices of t he past and do justice to a man whom the greatest Gen­ eral on the face of the earth declared to be wronged and outraged. He would follow Grant's Judgment against that of Captains and Colonels of militia. (Laughter and applause.) Mr. Horr, of Michigan, said the trouble with Fits John Porter was that he became disgruntled and refused to give Pope the hearty support he Might to have done. One reason assigned for the passage of this bill was that Gen. Grant had written a letter saying Porter oaght to be restored. He had believed in Grant many years. It. had been his pleasure to come as near to worshiping him as he ever did any man the conn try produced. [Lauehter.J The gentlemen on the other side had been vili­ fying and slandering Grant, calling him all kinds of hard names for years. Now, these same gentlemen came in and asked: "tyhat are you go ng to do with Gen. Grant?" He would tell them. The grand old mai^nd made a mistake, and a? long •s it was the^HmiEtake of his life he (Horr) was going to «•« by him longer than the gen­ tlemen on the other side would. They had not tgrasd with Grant for a minute except in this •ne case, when Grant happened to agree with them. Mr. Horr stated that when it was ex­ pected that this bill would come up, at a prior Congress, Gen. Garfield was preparing a speech against it. Mr. Horr then concluded as fol­ lows; In the name of good helpline in the army. In the name of the loyal men of the North, in the name of the thousands of men whoae spirits were calling Congress to do its duty to their memory, he protested against the pMsage of this bilL" [Applause on the Repub­ lic-- •»> *i<V>.l The 8enat" was not in session.

A SALT LAKE dispatch says: The, attacks upon Gov. Murray's record as Marshal, , of Kentucky are the chief topic of converse tion here. Of course the Mormons are de-j lighted, because they think they will soon be relieved from Murray. The more pious among them interpret the exposures as being' the interposition of the Almighty to crush one who has fought His people. The Gov-' ernor's friends are very much annoyed by the charges of corruption, and fear his removal. They say Mormon money is back of the business, and that Murray will be able to establish his Inno- ence. The Governor bimself professes to care little about the allegations, laying it all to personal enemies in Kentucky and to Mor­ mon influence in Washington. However, his acts show that he is worried and doing all he can to save his official head Gov. Foster, of Ohio, said to a Washington correspondent, in reply to a question on the Presidential prospects in Ohio: There is some talk of President Arthur as a candidate, but I do not believe thero is anything in it.

AITBR three weeks' deliberation and live days of debate, the House of Representatives, on the 1st inst, passed the bill for the relief of Fitz John Porter by a vote of 184 to 78. Strenu­ ous efforts were resorted to by the Republican leaders to stave off a vote by filibustering, but when at 6 o'clock the Democrats con­ ceded an hour for debate the oppo­ nents of Porter accepted the situation. Sir. Wolford was the first speaker. His argu­ ments were in favor of the bill. Following him Mr. Calkins made a speech against l*orter. Mr. Phelps next spoke at kntrth in favor of the measure. Several short speeches were made, and then Mr. Curtin closed the argum nt. The galleries were crowded, and intense interest was manifested when the House proceeded to record its verdict. An analysis of the vote shows that 164 Democrats, 18 Republicans, and 2 Independents voted for the passage of the bill, and 77 Republicans and cne Democrat (Converse, of Ohio) recorded their name-1 against it. A bill was Introduced to prohibit the removal of House employes uilng vacation, except for cause Conference commit­ tees were appointed on the special Indian ap­ propriation and the Greely relief scheme.

It is a draft of a WU which was prepared by the authority of the Interstate Commission on Federal Aid to Education, whloh held Its sessions at Lonlsvtte, Ky., during the Indus­ trial Exposition. These gentlemen have elab* orated a scheme far assisting the States and Territories in the promotion of educa­ tion by distributing among thns a fund of nearly 9*8,000,000, to be doled out at Inter­ vals of three years during the next twelve years, the anportkmraent to be made upon the basis of illiterate population between the ages of 10 and 80 years in States, and be­ tween 8 and 20 yean In Territories. Ac­ companying the bill are tables showing the method of appointment and the amount which each State and Territory would receive for each year and for the entire period. Out of the $66,000,000 the New Bngland and Middle States would be entitled to $8,089,099 in twelve years; the Western and Pacific States, $4,486,860; the Southern States, $62,C£0,7*>; Abe Terri­ tories, $5,446,860,and the District oColumbia, $82,860.

This is the largest sum appropriated to any Western State. Ohio is put down for $758,- 270, the total for twelve years; Indiana, $746,870; Iowa, $285,080; Minnesota, $188,960. Georgia and Alabama would each get more than all the Western and Paci«c coast States combined, and Texas moro than all the New England and Western States. Hon. J. h. M.

E. W. M. Mackey, of South Carolina. His death occurred at Washington on the 28th ultimo. Judgo Mackey represented the Seventh Congressional district. He was the only Republican in the delegation, and was a native of South Carolina. A Washington dispatch saya of the occurrence: '-Nothing- since Congress met has exceeded, so far as comment is conoernod, tho sudden death of Representative Mackey, of South Carolina. Four days ago the deceased talked concern­ ing the appointment of several Postmasters in his State, and a few minutes after was compelled to rest on a sofa in the rear or the hall. To inquiries as to what was the matter, he replied that ho had a severe pain in bis stomach, Rnd thought he would go home and take some medicine for his trouble. This was his last appearance in Congress. A sad feature of tho death of Mr. Mackey is the fact that his wife soon expects to become a mother, and it is feared that her sudden be­ reavement will have a fatal effect, as she" is stated to be almost wild with grief." Mr. Mackey is the sixth Representative in Congress who has died since November, 188". Those who have preceded him were Herndon, of Alabama, who died before the adjournment of the Forty-seventh Congress; Cutts, of Iowa, who died during the vaoation; Haskell, of Kansas, who died shortly after Congress convened; Herron, of Louisiana, who also died last summer; and Poole, of South Carolina, who died befox$ tbe assem­ bling of Congress.

In 1879 the general revival of prosperity began. In 1SS0 tho pension appropriation jumped up to nearly double that of 1878, through the ap- propriat on of $25,000,000 in a lump sum for so-called arrears of pensions. Since then the increase nas been very great, and the claim- ajftnts have reaped a very rich hardest. These gentry are still at work stirring up movements for new pension laws for the robbery of tho tax-payers and addit'onal appropriations. They are a class scarcely known in Washington until a year or two be­ fore the passage of the first arrears act.

Dispatch to Cincinnati Com- aoereiaLi Jane Catherine Payne and Mrs. Annie Hin- ton were married at Martinsbnrg, this State, yesterday, by Rev. John Longstreet. The groom has been known for ten years In Mar- tlnsburg as a lady of correct habits, modest demeanor and marked Intelligence and re­ finement, and has been Postmaster, and kept a little store in the village known as Best, thirteen miles from Martinsburg. From childhood she evinoed remarkable business talent. Attaining years of maturity she en­ gaged in oommeroial pursuits. No one in the vicinity Is more favorably known. Liv­ ing quietly and attending closely to business, neighbors gradually came to look upon the proprietress of the little store as an old maid. Judge of their astonishment when, last Tuesday, Jane Catherine Appeared in Mar­ tinsburg, announced her conversion from the gentler to the sterner sex, purchased and arrayed herself In a suit of masculine habili­ ments, and stating her intention to marry a lady who for years bas been her assistant in the store. In explanation, there had never been any oocaslon to doubt her femininity un­ til a fortnight since, when she was led to visit Drs. Maguire and Love, at Winchester. They announced to their patient there could be no doubt of perfect masculinity, and the ignoramuses who superintended her advent into the world deserved to be prosociited for their stupidity, which brought about the sub­ sequent wearing of petticoats instead of trousers. She has no mustache or whiskers. Much confusion results in tho community »ver this sudden change of sex. ,. ^ ,, , THBEE BOY BBIDEGB00MB.

Extraordinary Surgical Op«ratlod«, INew York Tslesrram.1 A remarkable Burgical operation has just been performed at Bellevue hospital. Last Thursday a young German attempted suicide by shooting himself in the forehead. When found by tho police he was unconscious. He was taken to Bellevue, where Dr. Fluher, on examining the wound, decided to attempt to find the bullet. The skull at the entrance of the wound was trepanned, and it was found that tho probe, which was inserted toward the back of the head, went so far that it was decided to make a counter opening with the trephine opposite the point of the probe. When the opening bad been made the bullet was found lying in the brain, just below the opening in the skull. Then, the bullet hav­ ing been removed, a drainage tu bo was passed through the brain in the track of the ball and left in place. The tube passes through the head and projects both front and back about an Inch. Since the operation the patient has been constantly improving, although btupid and semi-unconscious. When spoken to he opens his eyes, and when asked if he wishes water can say yes or no. This is the first operation of the kind ever per­ formed. It occupied about four hours' time, and was witnessed by a large number of the surgical staff of Bellevue hospital. Ibrae Co»ches«f • Train M Through a Waik &ij|« and Man From Indianapolis papers we glean the fol­ lowing particulars of the recent distressing railway accident near that city: r A souto-bound Moommodatlon train on the Indianapolis and Chicago air line due here at jo :30 a. m. met witjha terrible accident when MKen thi* Wty.at Broad Ripple, where the railway eroeass the White river on » S*™" bEjd£L°£ *7° •p"ns«««!»M0 feet in length. 016 baggage car for a drink ofwater* and the locomotive was In charge of the fireman. When the locomotive reached the center of the bridge the flreman felt the structure sinking. He had his band on the throttle, *™i li« opened, giving the locomo­ tive aU the available steam. The engine sprang forward with grOat force, breaking the coup­ lings between toe tender aud the baKsage car. The locomotive kept the track, bnt the baggage ?? "2 k}g car? and another ocach dropped through and piled up in a mass at thefOot of the p^, the stroking car being partially tele- scoped on the baggage car. The wreck was partially submerged" but the portion above the water immediately took fire lrom the stoves. The fireman declares that when he looked back locomotive reached the south end of bridge the cars were on fire and t-moke was ob­ scuring the soene. News of the wreck reached this city in a short ti me, and a wrecking train, with surgeons and other awigtanoe, wag at once made up and sent to Broad Ripple. On rMobing tbe wreck a clu- otic scene was presented. The bridge and cars were yet burning, and those present were so lacking in presence of mind es to be unable to extinguish the flames or afford relief to the suf­ ferers. The officials of the road went to work vigorously and systematically, and in a short time the fire was extinguished and the search *ss_ begun. Six persons were either killed outright or burned to death. The re­ mains recovered were bus nod and charted al­ most beyond recognition, being horribly mutila- ted, and the only means of identifidation was the finding of incombustible trinkets known to be the property of the dead men. The scenes at the wreck were extremely dis­ tressing. The dead were in the ruins of the smoking and baggage cars, and these, the one on top of the other, were in deep w .ter. At one end of the smoking-car lay a man with his skull crushed and life extinct. Across him, close to the red-hot stove, lay Lynn Clark, a heavy timber binding one leg Immovably. C. C. Loder, one of the passengers, tried to* find the ax with which each car was provided, but it was on the other side of the car, in three feet of water. "For God's sake, don't desert me!" cried Clark. "We did not desert him," said Loder, "until the flames scorched us, and we were almost suffocated with smoke. Before leaving I kicked out the window close by Clark, and left him in agony. Presently the flames burned the timber in two close by Clark, and he crawled out of the window which we had broken for him." "In five minutes after the train went down," Said Conductor Losey, "tho entire wreck was wrapped in flames. In less time than that all who had not escaped already were drowned. Frightful screams came from the ruins near the pier, but with two buckets and no boat we were powerless, and all that we could do was to close our ears and pray for death to relieve our com­ rades." A patch of gray beard led to the identification of John Bray. A train order in a vest pocket led to the belief that the handful of bones to which were hanging a few shred* of roasted flesh were the remains of Engineer Brewer. A but­ ton or a spared half-inch of suspender or un­ dergarment led to the identification of others. B. J. White was working under the bridge when the train went over. He says he thinks the rods pulled through the nuts, letting the bridge down. To all appearances one break oc­ curred within fifteen feet of the pier, and an­ other about midway of the span. White's es­ cape was truly marvelous. Standing on the ice, the falling bridge and cars struck him on the head, drove him through the ice, and down to the very bottom of the river. The timbers did not rest uron him, however, and he swam out, more dead than alive, covered with bruises, but able to walk. JUDAH P.

While he aims at an average reduction of about 20 per cent, he does not mean to strike the who'.e system, and will bear down harder on some schelules than on others. Four of the schedules will probably be subjected to the grcutcKt reduction. They aie metals, pottery aud earthenware, wool and woolens, aad cotton and cotton goods.

DEAR SIR-- I exceedingly regret your absence from New York at this time, as the important object of my visit is to have a personal and con­ fidential Interview with you. My apology for this breach of conventional usage. In presuming to address you without the formality of an introduction may be pardoned in consequence of the very extraordinary nature of the business which induced me to appioach you without the friendly intervention ot a third party. Indeed, it would not only have been un­ wise but actually dangerous lor me to have borne a letter of introduction. Having assumed the whole responsibility of this very critical step, I cannot use too much caution and circumspection to injure my per­ sonal Fftfety and the successful accomplishment of the mission I have in view. Therefore, I pre­ fer trusting to my cwn judgment iu approach­ ing a genteel stranger on ^uch business, to that of bringing into iny service the scrawls of Gov­ ernors or members of Congress with whom, perhaps, you areas little acquainted as myself. The official confidence which your Govern­ ment seems to repose iu you, by intrusting to your charge its ureat commercial affairs in the •most important city on this continent, I think is sufficient to warrant me in trusting to yotir discretion, patriotism, and loyalty a secret of the greatest importance and interest to her Britannic Majesty's kingdom. ' The present disastrous condition of political affairs in the United States (which has no par­ allel In the past history of the country) seems to have split the great Democratic party into many contending factions, all of which are so hungry after public spoils that its disintegrated parts render them an easy prey to the opposing black Republicans. The doctrines maintained by the Repub­ lican party are so unsutted to the great in­ terests of the whole South that an election of their candidate (which is almost certain) amounts to a total destruction of all planta­ tion interests, which the South, as mire as there is a God in heaven, will not submit to. Sooner than yield to the arbitrary dictates of traitorous allies and false friends, who have proven recreant to the solemn obligations of our old Constitution, we will either seoede from the Union and form a separate Government, or, upon certain conditions, at once return to our al­ legiance to Great Biltain, onr mother eonntrv. Many, very many of the most wealthy and Influential planters throughout the South have already discussed this alternative in the event of the election of Mr. Lincoln, ana the popular­ ity of the proposition seems to psss from one to another almost with an electric rapidity. It is true they have made no public demonstration of their intentions, for such a coarse would be attended with direiul consequenoes at this time, but the pear will be folly ripe before Movrmber.

Man is the onlv animal that builds his home after the pattern of the dry goods box. And it is only the half-civ­ ilized man who insists upon that. In all Home you do not find a single square room. They tell you in Rome that the rooms are built in square an­ gles and triangles and so on as a charm against the evil eye. Bnt that is large­ ly a fiction. The Italian builds his home in curiously-shaped rooms l>e- cause of the art and the love of the beautiful and shapely that is in him. Permit me to lay this down briefly a» another ene of the rules to observe in "building the house beautiful." No square room can be made either come­ ly or comfortable. No bird, no beast, not even an Indian, will live in one un­ less as a prisoner. A round room or semi-globe shaped is perhaps the most restful.
