Similar resolutions were presented by Mr. Christiancy, and referred to the same committee. In presenting the resolutions Mr. Christiancy said he did not agree with the views of the petitioners.

Mr. Hitchcock submtited a resolution instructing the (Commissioners of the District of Columbia to inquire into the expediency of providing a proper form of government for the District ot Columbia, and to report bj bill or otherwise. Agreed to.

Mr. Eaton submitted a resolution that any further issue of 3-05 bonds, authorized under or by virtue of the act of Congress of June 20,1874, is hereby prohibited, any law to the contrary, notwithstanding. He asked for the present consideration of the resolution and said he had been informed by the bdst authority that one week ago today, the Board having power to issue these bonds, passed a resolution that no more of the bonds should be issued for one week. He supposed that the question would have passed from the consideration of Congress by the expiration of that week. Since then, however, in defiance of that resolution, bonds to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars had been issued. This information he had received irom an entirely trustworthy source, and he had just as much confidence in it as it it had been given him by one of his brother Senators.

Sargent asked if that resolution wfis not. passed by the sinking lund commission.

Eaton replied that it was passed by the Board having power to issue bonds. -j

Sargent—That is the sinking fund commission, ot whom is W. W. Couco-

Mr. Morton said that last woek he gave notice that he would ask the Senate to-day to proceed to tho consideration of the resolution for the admission of Pinchback, as Senator from Louisiana.

TERKE HAUTE. INT).:

to furnish copies of letters and papers asking for the removal of Judge Belford, and for the appointment of Judge Stone in his stead. Keferred to thejudiciary committee.

A bill reported by Williams, of Iu« diana, Chairman of the Committee on Accounts, for the payment of fourteen disabled Uuion soldiers, ou the rolls of the House, led to considerable discussion as to whether there were, and Hoi man and Williams, of Iudiana, maintaining the contrary. Finally the bill passed.

Atkins, from the Committee on Appropriations, reported a resolution requesting the President to appoint a compet and experienced military officer to execute the duties of Indi an agent so far as to repair to Red Cloud agency and to othe.i Sioux agency, to inquire into the deficency iu the appropriation for the Sioux Indians. Adopted.

A bill regulating practic in the United States circuit, and districts courts, which was before the House in the morning hour yesterday, was taken up and passed.

Mr. Caulfield, from the Judiciary Committee, reported a bill providing that the expenses of District Judges, when holding court outside of their own dtstricts, shall not exceed S10 a day. After discussion the bill was recommitted.

After discussion the bill passed.

The Hnii3e then wont into committee of the whole, Hoskin's iu the chair, on tho consular and diplomatic appropriation bill, which appropriates $922,847.

Singleton, who had charge of the bill as member of committee on appropriations, advocated the principles of of economy, on which the bill was formed, and argued that the general depressions of business through* out the country rendered this economy an imperative duty. He said that official saleries had grown out of all pronortion to what) they had been in the b^ter days of the republic. When Edward Everett was Minister, to England, General Cass to France and Wheaton to Pruseia. the salaries then paid to these men was qnlte satisfactory and what was it? §9,000 a yar! He had never heard of the ministers of those days written essays on poker or dealing in stotck of the Etnma mines iu order to add to their means. [Laughter.] Tbey were gentlemen of the highest order of respecs tability. Sana puer et sans reproache.

Garfield suggested that in those days ministers not only received an outfit, but also an infit- to cover the expenses of their return home.

Kassou suggested that the diploma atic salaries had been increased in 1S56 by a Democratic Congress.

Singleton vent on to poin out items which reductionwere made in the pill, and gave the aggregate reduction, as compared with tbe diplomatic appropriation pill last year, at anout §4000,000. He pointed to the fact that the ordinary expenses of the Government for last year outside of the interest on the public debt, were about $170,000,000, while in 1866, the expenses of the Government were ouly about SG3,000,000, and he asked what was the cause of the vast increase in expenditures? It was on account of the extravagances indulged in by all departments of the Government.

Kasson suggested that the expense of living abroad had been very largely increased since 1855, when a Democratic Congress increased the diplomatic aud consular salaries.

Singleton, in the course of further remarks, referred to what Hale, of Maine, had said last week in refenoe to the claims of southern citizens,

Mr. Hale asked him to state what the other scheme was. Mr. Singleton said that another was the Southern Pacific railroad.

Mr. Hale—Is not the refunding of cotton tax another? Mr. Singleton—I do not propose to discuss that question now. If the Democratic party does not propose to help the South by buildiug a southern railroad, we will leave it to our Republican friends to do so.

Mr. Douglass aaked Hale by what authority he spoke of the gentleman from Mississippi (Singleton) as the representative of the Southern Democracy.

Mr. Hale replied that his authority WH3 the position which that gentle* man occupied a Southern man, because he spoke distinctly for the Southern Democracy, and alao because he (Sins.leton) had been selected as one of the Southern representatives on the many committees of the House,

Mr. Holman declared that the Democratic parly in the House was neither for the Southern Pacific Railroad nor for refunding the cotton tax.

1

Mr. Wheeler offered a resolution directing the committee on appropriation to insert an item appropriating $25,000 to the widow of the late H. A. Starkweather- Adopted.

Mr. Douglass denied the right of Hale or of any other Republican member, to designate the member from Mississsppi or a member from any other State, as a representa--tive man from the Southern Democrats, he (Douglass) represented a part of the Southern constituency, and he was not

is more frank than the gentleman from Virginia, and has given us the monition of what we may expect from that section. I did not expect by a simple question to stir up so much of a hornet's n^st as I seem to have have doue. My friend from Indiana (Holman) who opposes the Southern Pacific Railroad, wants this discussion to stop, and I have no wonder at it, bin he must not hold me responsible fur it- He must settie with his colleague from Mississippi.

Holman I understood the gentleman

Miss., merely to express

his opinion in favor of the Southern Pacific Railroad. Several Democratic members: That is ail, and in favor of re-imbursement of cotteu tax now is not that all?

Hale No sir. Holman Excuse me and also the govermeut that spent money in rebniding of Mississippi levees. Does not the gentleman from Maine know that the gentleman from Miss., was simply expressing his own individual opinion on that subject, and that tirno and againthe Democratic party, in this house, has opposed all of these measures, and will continue to do so.

Hale: If the gentleman wants me to auswer that question, I will say that I expect that he will be outvoted by his own party.

Mr. Blount, a member of the Appropriations Committee, said that himself aud his associates, would not propose to state what their actions would be on these measures, until they had had an opportunity of considering and discussing them. The gentleman from Maine would find when the time came, the South would do what was right and proper to do. The country would approve of its course, and all of the chairmen of the Committee of Appropriations, and remarked that it would be time enough for the Democratic party iu the House to be responsible fot its acts, when it had taken action on these measures.

Mr. Singleton disclaimed being considered a representative of his party. He had simply presented his own views, and nobody else was to be held responsible for them.

Mouroe criticised economic features of the bill in the recuction of salaiies and in the suspension of missions to Grece, Haytien and South American republics. He expressed his belief that one of the noblest and grandest lields of commerce in the future would be the state of South America, and he thought that the American people ought to be the possessors of that field. He Sinew that the existing commerce there was small, but he .isked whether the United States Were prepared to accept the low and poor condition of its commerce as au exchangeable thing, or did Congress meau to proclaim to the civilized world that the United ^Saates did notmean to.be a great commercial power, but meant to have its name erased from the list—of-commercial, nations, He could not believe that that was tbe opinion, of :this House.

Without action on the bill tbe committee rose. The Speaker laid before the House a message from ,the President, returning without his approval, an act transferring the custody of certain Indian trust funds from tne Secretary of the Interior to the Treasurer of the United States, with a communica tion from the Secretary of the Inte rior, setting out that the act was not sufficiently definite to accomplish the end desired. The message and accompanying documents having been read, R.indall stated that the bill had come from the Committee on Appropriation that the Secretary of the Interior had suggested an amendment to it that that amendment was incorpora ted in tbe bill, and that it was a very strange thing that it. should be objected to by the department at whose instance it had been prepared. The message was referred to the Committee on Appropriations.

House adjourned.

Washington, Feb. 4.

Mr. Knott, from the Judiciary Committee, reported back the Senate bill fixing the time for holdiug Circuit Court in thedistcicts of California, Oregon and Nevada. The bill was amended to take effect March 1, noxt, and passed.

Tom IKoore's Singular Courtship aud ffiarriage. When living in Dublin, where Moore was the observed of 11 observers, ho was engaged in some private theatricals, when he made the acquaintance of Miss Bessie Dyke, who had" recently made her debut as ballet dancer on the Dublin Boards. Mooro was smitten with her at tirst sight, and having access to tho green room, used to seek her out and converse with her, when­

ho could, behind the scenes. One night, as the celebrated Sir Phillip Crampton, one of the best medical men that ever lived, was just dropping off to sleep after a day of very great fatigue, he heard a violent knocking at his bedroom door. "Come in, he said, and a voice which he at once rec o^nizad as that of his friend Moore, spoko through the half-opened door: "Phil, Phil, for God's sake, get up and come without a moment's delay."

Sir Philip jumped up, hurried on his clothes, and went out with him. It was about two o'clock on a bright summer'smorning,and the streets were deserted. As they walked rapidly together, Crampton in vain appealed to Moore to tell him what WHS the matter. The only reply was, "You'll see sonn enough. Come along quick, lor God's sake There's not ail instant to be lost!" Xhey hurried down D&wsou street,

reached

Suffolk street, and about half

wav up that street, lying prostrate on the flags, Sir Pbihp beheld, to his amazement, what appeared to be tlie body of a young woman. So it proved to be, not a dead body, but an insensible one, and bleeding copiously from tho head, which was severely injured. On soing up to it they found an old woman standing by, and watching over it Sir Philip Crampton, with Moore'6 assistance,

lifted

the

body from the

eround and carried it up stairs to

feared so that, after awhile, she gradually recovered, And (here is the curious part of the story,) the hero--ine of this little drama lived years and years after, and lived to become "the darling Bess.v" of Tom Moore.

It would seem that on the night iu question, Moore had accompanied her to her lodgings in Suffolk street, and there made use of the opportunity to express his feelings toward her passionately. If she was blamable

for

having admitted a mau to her apartments at such an hour, it must be borne in mind that she was really and truly a pure minded girl, who, though flattered—naturally enough— by tho undisguised admiration of a man so sougnt after aud distinguished as the modern Anacreon, yet had been treated by him invariably with sucL respect as to inspire her with confidence. However, his advances were now made so warmly that his ardor got the better of his prudence, aud he rushed forward toward her, hoping to clasp her in his arms. When she perceived his intentions, she said to him in the most decided tone, "Stop, sir! If you come one step nearer to me I will throw myself out of that window," pointing to one that, on account of the sultriness ^of the weather, had been left open. Not imagining her to be in earnest, he con tinued to approach her, and iu one moment she sprang out of the win dow and fell on the pavement—bruised, mutilated and insensible. His terror, consternation and self-reproach may be imagined. All were in bed. The watchmen, as was their wont, were asleep in their boxes, and there wa3 Moore, standiug appalled and helpless, by the bleeding body of his love, in the silent, solitary street, on that memorable summer's morn. At length he succeeded in arousing the old woman servant of the house, and consigning the young lady to her charge, he ran off for his friend Crampton.

The rest of the story is easily told. Moore was captivated by heroic conduct of his virtuous li.issy, and the blind passion which he ha I cou~ ceived for her was converted into the profoundest admiration. He made an honest, heartfelt, earnest Proposal of marriage, to which she at last yielded

with good grace.— [Appletou'.s .lour nal.]
