CONGRESS.

HOUSE,

Washington, Dec. 10.—After the reading of tne journal, the oath was administered to the chaplain and to Egbert who was absent Monday.

On motion of Gibson the ressolution was adopted, adding to committee of the House, a committee of eleven to be known as committee on the Mississippi levees.

Hopkins offered resolutions that so much of the message of the President as relates to the Centennial, be referred to a select committee of thirteen. .Point of order having been made that the message had already been referred to the committee of the whole and was not in possession of the House the resolution by unaminious consent finally was received and adapted.

Mr. Holman moved for adjournment, but yielded to Mr. Mackdon gall who asked leave to introduce, and put upon the passage, a bill repealingjso much of the act of the 3d of March, 1875, as has been construed to cover the postage on printed matter.

Mr. Starkweather said that he had a bill prepared by the Postofflce Department, which he desired to offer as a substitute, which provides that from the first of January, 1876, the postage shall be charged on pamphlet?, transient newspapers, periodical magazines, hand bills, posters, un sealed circulars, prospectuses proof sheets and corrected proof sheets, at the rate of one cent for every two ounces or fraction thereof, and that postage or all other mailable matter of the third class shall remain as now provided by law.

Mr. Holman said he had no doubtthat the measure was strictly correct, but it was an important measure, and should receive due consideration. He would not, therefore, withdraw his motion to adjourn.

Mr. McDougal said he would accapt Mr Starkweather's bill as a substitute for his own.

Mr. Cox—You committed a blunder last session about this matter. Do not hurry us now.

Mr. Startbweather—I did not blunder. Mr. Box—Your side of the House did, and we will correct your blunder, if you give us time.

Mr. Hulman—The bill will be printed in to-morrows Record. so that members can read it and be prepared to act upon it at the next meeting.

Mr. Starkweather—Do I understand the gentleman from Indiana to object to a reduction of postage?

Mr. Holman—I do not. I have said freouently that I thought the measuro right. You passed the bill last session I am anxious to have ifc corrected.

Mr. Starkweather—You voted for it yourseJf and made a mistake. We want that mistake corrected.

Mr. Randall—A great number of mistakes were made in that bill last year, and it seems to mo they should be corrected after proper consideration.

Mr. Burchard asked the Speaker whether Mr. McDougalte proposition was pending.

Mr. Hulman thought that tue bill was, perhaps, a little to broad in its provisions and that proper time should be taken for its due consideration.

Mr. Starkweather said his bill had been prepared at the postofflce department and it ought to be considered immediately,

The Speaker replied that neither

Eeen

reposition was pending. Thay had only read to the House tor information.

A motion to adjourn was then put and carried, and the House adjourned until Tuesday next.

It was annonnced that a Democratic caucus would be held in the hall of the House on Monday.

A Card.

New York, Dec. 10.—John H. Vincent, corresponding Secretary of the {. unday school Union and of the Tract society of the Methodist Episcopal church, publishes a card to-day in relation to the remarks made in the Boston preachers meeting Mon day morning by Bishop Gilbert Haven. The Secretary says the representatives of the Sunday school Union, and of the Tract society, present at the preachers meeting, had nothing whatever to do with the invitation to the Bishop, the sentiments he advanced as a vote of welcome, tendered them. The societies are entirely devoted to Christian work for which they were organized, and have not as such the slightest interest either in platforms or candidates of political parties.

Agriculture.

Washington, Dec. 10.—The agriculture report for November and December says: November returns indicated that the corn crop of 1875 was one of the largest ever grown in the country. Probably equally very large crops of 1870 and 1872. It is least a fourth greater than the crop of 1874, and about a third larger than t'ie crop of 18Q9. Every section of the Union reports some increase, The

Ko'.h

otatoe crop is extraordinary, in product and quality, the yield in the districts are reported as one fourth greater than last year. In the rainy section the sweet potato crop suffered in yield and quality from excessive moisture. In the gulf states aud west of the Mississippi, the yield largely exceeds that of last year, in qualify is about average.

Appointment.

Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 10.—Governor Allen to-day appointed Lincoln S. Delano, of Chillicothe State, Commissioner of railroads and telegraph. Mr. Delano is a wealthy farmer and stock raiser, and has been prominently con« neotea with the Stftte IJoard qf Agri* cultural for some years.

POOR BABCOCK,

They're Got Him at ^Chicago, and He is Wanted at St. Louis.

Tlia Proceedings of the (iburt of Iuqniry.

Washington, Nov. 10' The indictment of General Babcock by the Grand Jury at St, Liouis, has been afficially communicated to Attorney General, Special Counsel Henderson, telegiaphed to the Attorney General that a sworu statement of the remarks he m&de on Avery trial, has been forwarded to the department of Justice.

Chicago, Dec. 10, The Babcock Court of Inquiery met again at noon to-day. General Hancock immedi' ately arose and read the following. A sense of duty to laws of the military serveice and to accused impels to ask your concurrence in a postponement of ibis inquiry for the present. We are all bound to believe in the entire innosence of Col. Babcock, and this presumption can. uot be repelled without clear evidence. It is our duty to him to suppose that this Court of Inquiry was to ask, in good faith, for the reasons given, what were those reasons? In tha course of a legal trial at St. Louis, Col. Babcock was alleged to be guilty of a high criminal offense. He asked for bearing in the same court, but was informed that he could not have it, because the evidence was closed. These circumstances led him to demand a Court of Inquiry, as only means of vindicatian that was left. Since then he has been formally indicted. He is now certain of getting that full and fair trial before an impartial jury, which the laws of the country guarantee to all its citizens. The supposed necessity for couvening a military court for the determination of his guilt or innocence no longer lasts. It is believed that our action as a military tribunal caunot oust the jurisdiction of the court while the indictment is pending. The President has eaid through the Attorney General that such was not the intention. Then the trial at St. Louis and this inquiry must go on at the same time unless we await the result of the inquiry, and then the dsfflculities are very formidable. The accused must be present at the trial of the indictment. Shall we proceed and hear the cause behind his back, or shall we vex him with two trials at.once? The injustice of this is manifest. I presume from the uature of the ca8e tnat the evidence is very voluminous, consisting of records, papers and oral testimony. Can we compel this production of these, while they are wanted tor purdoses of trial at St. Louis? Certainly not. If the military be as tho Constitution "declares, subordinate to the civtl authorities, shall we precaed without evidence, and give an opinion in ignorance of the facts That can not be the wish of any body. take it for granthd that the trial at St. Louis will be fair as well as legal, aud the judgment will be according to the very truth and judgment of the case. It will, without question, be binding and conclusive upon us upon tho Government upon the accused and upon all the world. If he should be convicted, no descision of ours conld rescue him out of the honds of the law. If he is acquitted our belief on his innocence will be of no consequence. If we anticipate the trial in civil court, our judgement whether for the accused or against him will not and ought not to have no effect upon the Jurors. It eannot even bo made known to them and any attempt to influence them by it would justly be regarded as an obstrnclion of justice. On the other hand his conviction there would be conclusive evidence of his guilt, and his acquittal will relieve him from tha necessity of showing anything but tho record. I do not propose to postpone the identity but simply adjourn from day today until evidence upon the subject of our inquiry shall rcceive that definite and conclusive shape which will be impressed upon it by the verdict of the Jury or, until our action having been referred to the war department, with our opinoln that our proceeding should be stayed during the proceedings of the court of law shall have been conferred in thecase of a equittal by the Civil court. The functions of this court will not necceraly have terminated. The accused may_ be pronounced innocent of any crime against the statue and yet be guilty of some act which the military law might punish by expulsion from the army* In case of acquittal he may insist upon showing to us that he has done nothing inconsistent with the conduct of a gentleman and an officer, as the article of war runs, But the great and important question is guilty or not in manner and form as he stands indicted, and this can be legally answered only by a jury of his countrymen. Tne Judge Advoeat& then said in substance that the court had not yet been fully organized.

He bad received a communication from Babcock which he submitted to the court. This communication requested the court to adjourn tor the present in orrer to admit of hia appearing in St. Louis to answer there the charges made against him by the St. Louis Grand Jury. In view to this communication the Judge Advocate suggested that the trial he postponed for the present, and that the

1*

court communicate to President Grant the state of the case with view that the court might adjourn to meet again at the ll of the President. The court room was then cleared of spectators for consultation. On reopening tho doors it was announced that the court would adjourn from dav to day until its action had been mm municated to the War DeStiZS and adjournment was immediatelvannounced till noon to-morrow Judira Advocate Garoener, endeavored to impress upon the representatives of tha press that the remarks of General Han evek, was not the result of

ST AGNES.

Tbe Entertainment Last Evening for Its Benefit. When a people are in earnest, etorm and rain, mnd and darkness, does not dissolve their ardor, and if a people ever were in earnest, the St. Agnes Sunday school is that peoplo.

Without much effort in the way of advertising and without contributing any shekels to the GAZETTE'S*(or anybody else's) coflera for that purpose, the hall was well filled last night by a delighted audienc^. The entertainment was almost impromptu, and, as is generally the ca*e, was an enjoyable one. Prof. Wilson spread himself and his magic lantern to the unmitigated delight of the young folks, and while we are constrained to say that we are afraid the moral effect of the drunkard's career and mournful end was somewhat lessened by the pertinacity with which be clutched and hung on to that green cotton umbrella, yet the comio effect of Lazy Joe's method of getting his breakfast, was all that was to be desired in the way of a reward of merit, and was appreciated accordingly.

A feature of the evening was the sale of a cake donated by Heinig Bros., and which was bought by Mr. Hess and presented to the school, netting about five dollars.

There was some jgood singing by the school, and Bro. Royse beamed wtih good nature and exuded smiles. Nearly thirty dollars was cleared, and we say again to all,if you want a good old' fashioned sociable time, don't fftll to keep posted on the doings at St. Ag-

BLADES AND BAD BLOOD.

Some Blood Letting in a Mnver's nop Yesterday evening about two families, whose heads were cousins, and who were on their way back to Ohio from western Missouri, encamped in the bottoms onthjB opposite tide of the river. The two mini's names are James and John Ely, ana they both have families of several children. They got a little bad Whisky in town Which immediately produced discord between them. In the quarrel that ensued John cut James a fearful gash in the breast and then escaped. Officers Hogan and Meyer went over there and summoned Dr. Swafford to their assistance. The injured man is in considerable danger.

The Doctor states that the blade entered bis left breast near the ninth rib, deep enough to injure his lung He is still over there in the wagon, and unless removed and taked to some house will die.

From what these people say it is not probable that the murderer will ever be cauget. and if he was, it is more than likely that they would swear him out. These Elys are not respeotable farmers seeking a permanent plaee for locating, but are professional tramps, a little better off than the average. Several persons have rocognized them as having been here before. They have a couple of good wagons, and some fair horses. They are rather nicely fixed, having a stove in their wagons, and other conveniences.
