H. Doran, a Kamoler. DorEn had runted a hous© from Whitfield’s father, and kept snch disreputable company that attempts were made In the Courte to elect him. Doran this morning published a card In the Avalanrhe denouncing both the WJjltAoldii as thieves, liars and poltroons. Edwin Whitfield and Major Moore went to the bouse for the purpose, It Is supposed, of chastising Doran. On knocking the door was opened, and Whitfield entered. He slammfd the door In Moore’s face and locked It, when shoot-, ing commenced simultaneously with locking the door. Moore, together with the crowd attracted by the firing, burst open the door, and found Whitfield, lying on the floor Doran and two women were standing la the middle of the room, and cried out that they surrendered.

The advocates of building two more railroads to the Pacific are trying to overcome Grant’s objections to them, which have extraordinary inflnonoe over Congress; these Representative*, it should be noticed, are as servile to the General as ever slaves were to their overseer. They want to got plunder through the subsidies to those roods, and they also want to keep In favor with Grant, for the patronage he will dispense. So, between their wishes and their fears they are terribly perplexed. They are fixing up a hill for the route South, on the line of 35, which would require the Government to guarantee the interest of their bonds for fifty years, giving as security a first lion on the road. The Company must also agree tp pay into the public treasury three per cent, of its grots earnings for fifty years, and one per cent, thereafter, for all time to come. It is said Grant will offer no objection to such a bill. The Paelge Railroad Committee To-day, agreed to report a bill, which requires all railroads which have, or may receive grants of lands or subsidies from the Government, to use American iron, made of American ore, In tbs construction thereof. This is to prevent the Importation of old rails from Europe and other countries, and their re-rolling in this country.

Mr. Logan addressed Hie committee, in opposition to Mr.Jenckr civil service bill, dlsscussing the whole matter, and declaring that he desired the business of this Government to be discharged with the utmost intelligence, fidelity and dispatch, and upon principles of scrupulous economy, and that the employes shall receive such compensation as will make them proof against dishonesty, He would vote for any practicable measure to bring about snob a reform; but he was opposed to the establishment of a life tenure in office, a system so opposed to the genius and spirit of our Institutions and people, and regarded with so much apprehension by the debators on the Constitution. He hold the people were the rulers of the country, and that their Representatives have no right to create a power liable to their decision. The whole bill, be declared, to be an opening wedge to an aristocracy, which ouoe established by law, would result In two schools In this oountry, one for military and the other for olvll schools, which schools would monopolize all the avenues of approach to the Government, and might, In the event of another war, prove a most formidable

Mr. Jencke replied that the key note of the gentleman’s speech had been that the bill created offices with a life tenure, and therefore should not be countenanced. The bill proposed no such thing. It proposed that the Incumbent of an office should hold It only during the efficiency of his service, which was an entirely different thing.
