YESTEKDAY AFTERNOON SESPION

Washington, Feb. 29,1876.

On motion of Mr. Huoton, the House went into a CommiLteo of the Whole, Mr. Blackburn in lhe chair, on the bill amending tiie laws grHi»ii-g pensions to soldiers of the war of 1812 The question being on the motion to strike out the section restoring to tho nension rolls the names of peisons stricken therefrom ou account ol sytr. nathv with the rebellion.

Mr Neal advocated tho motion lo stiike out, and Mr. Blaine opposed it Mr. Jenckes moved to amend the section by providing that no arrears ol n-ns-ions shall be paid for any portion of lime during the existence of the rebellion to any onu who either partial

pated in tbe rebellion or held any oQice

under the Southern Confederacy. He

nvuie an argument in support cf his tmendment. He thought it iair to sny that from one to two score million dollars he WHS not sure but that he ou:ht to say three score was involved iu the bill. When the bill should come back to the House he would move to rpcom mit it to the Committee on Inval a Pensions.

r»

C«ok insisted that by a dicision of tbe Supreme Court, tbe whole qui-stion of the right of these pensioners to be restored to tbe pensiou rolls h-d been settled. «nd that after tho Presidents prjclama'inn, at the close of tbe rebellion, all legal rights were restored.

Ka^sou said that a very large annual sum of money, and a very considi r*bJe amount of arrearages d'ependpd on tbe passage ot' tbe bill. The estimate of the commissioner ot pensions based on tho bill as originally reported, was that it should require tho annual payor $2 140.000. lie added that, by

sentiment of course would nev

bear with an5' such pattering with plain prii ciples ol justice. Tbere was an impression on the public mind that

this carefully wordeded and skillfully arranged bill was but tbe entering wed«e to other claims of vast amount wheuever this bill was altered so as to be co« fined simply to the restoration of thfse pensions to tho rolls, it would have bis support, but not until then.

Caswell remarked that be would vote for the b:ll it it was uivestad of its. objectionable features, but with these features in it he regarded the Villas a departure from every sound principle of justice.

Mr. Hooker advocated tho passage of the bill, and said that he hoped that in this centennial period the American people would manifest a desire to throw the mantle of oblivion over tbe late contest.

Mr. V^nce regarded this opposition to tho bill was as essential to soldiers, as to the plain men of the south who had taken up arms against the Govern ment. Tbe war had not commenced among them, but iu the House and Senatp, and that many members of both Houses had declared at that time that it is sweet to die for one's country, and had quoted tho line: "0Jo where glory wails thee," but bad taken caro themselves not to go or die worth a cent. [Laughter.] He asserted as an humble soldier of th-) south, thatil tbo couutrv was engaged in loroign war, no men would more promptly reply to their country's call than the men in gray,

Mr. Townsend, of New York, favored tbe recommittal of the bill. Discussion was further-continued by

White oppose tbe increase, %id that at the proper time he

of tbe House, seemed determined to go b*ck on their record of tbe last session, when a bill, similar to the pending one, was passed by the House. He had canvassed the State oi Georgia against secession, ana he bad always found these old guard soldiers standing by his side, and opposed to secession. It was a curious incident in history, that every lime these Southern soldiers were fighting the enemy at New Orleans, there was a convention of New England men at Hartford, proclaiming the very doctrine of secession on which the South bad subsequently acted.

Mr. Kasson—Did any State ever undertake enforce it? Mr. Hill (without knowing Mr. Kasson's question)—I do not know that anybody engaged in that convention was ever struck from tbe pension rolls.

Mr. Atkins—What has secession to «Uh thia.bill? Secession .is dead, Wby should it be broimbt up and discuoaod in tbia hall? Why should tho gentleman from Georgia fling it in our faces on this flooi? As a Southern man, I protest against the introduction of such questions.

Mr. Hoar replied to Mr. Hill remarks about the Hartford convention, and said that convention was composed ot men as patriotic as ever lived, and when tbey declared that a State Legislature was to judge ef the validity of an act ot Congress, they never contemplated any right to resist any act by force.

Stevenson made tbe point of order that the discussion was out of order, but the chair overruled the point in the midst of excitement, and after various interruptions, Hoar went on to say that he was tired of such striciurea coming tbe gentleman (Hill) which the other sideoi the House seemed to treat as its organ. In this connection he referred to Hill's record ou the amnesty bill, and Hill again undertook to explain a resolution otlered in tbo Confederate Congress,in rejr^rd to tho pun i-shment of pretended officers and soldiers of the United States, that might be captured on Coutederate soil. Hoar continued, a gentleman on that side of tho Houss, meaning Cox, in the same debate used language which it is hardly decorous to.repeat, and spoke of a distinguished member ot tiiis House as a hvena, an argument which excited tbe disgust of the civiliz-d world wherev er telegraph extends, and yet the other side ot tbe House seized thf opportunity to place the author of the utterance in the Speakor's chair as their representative of order, dignity and decency of American Congress.

Mr. Cox replied to Mr. Hoar, and said he was sitting quietly in his seat wh«n the gentleman's poisoned arrows were hurled at him. When he (Cox) used the language charged against biui ho did it under provocation and without much deliberation. But no one questioned more than himself the propriety as to parliamentary pungency.

Head Quarters of the Military Division of Missouri, Chic- Jago, Ills., Feb, 2G, 1S76.

The necessity for two military posts iu the Yellow stone baa been apparent tome for two years past, and I have recommended their establishment in my annual reports. So strongly have I heeu convinced of thi* necsesity that I have, without any expense to the government, made an examination of the Yellow stone river, and selected the poiuts at which they should be built. The Iudian question on the B'.ack hills must now be settled by the establishment of the Indians on the Missouri river and iu the accomplishment of tt.is purpose the two posts mentioned will have to be located, one, at or near the the mouth of the Big Horn river, the other, at or near the mouth of Tongue river.

Those posts can be supplied by a steamboat up the yellow stone, and can be constructed of material found in the vicinity of tbe points selected I think I can have them built for $100,000 each, in other words, I will try to build both for $200,000 instead of $300,0'iO mentioned in the bill. Tne Uack hills country will probably be covered with towns and villages duriugths next five or six years. Itsjstatus wi I cau^e the extension of the Northern Pacifift R. R. on the South sideof the Yellow Stone, as far as the Gallatin valley, iu Montana, aud will also build another R. R. from the north Platte station oh the Union Pacific Railroad to the Black Hills. I am of t'»e belief that tho largest deposits of irold are further west than miners are now working. The head waters of Wind river, are gold bearing, the Owl Creek mountains are gold bearing, the big Horn Valley is gold bearing, Powder river is told bearing, also Clark's fork of the Yellow Stone. Besides this the Black Ui 11b have abundance of good timber for the trealess country south of them and west of tbe aii-annri river- Tho 8UCC9KS of all these intorests depends on t»»o establish in ant of the two posts named. Military operations have now been commenced against the hostile bands of Sioux, by request of the Interior Department, and I cousider this appropriation so necessary that I especially request immediate action on it.

Kilo Day I:i Japan.

A letter from Nagasaki, Japan,printed in the Now Orleans Southwestern Presbyterian, says: On the 15th of Apiil was the great kite day for Nagasaki. The Japanese are very fond ot kite flying, and display a great de:il cf skill TliH kites nave no tails like ours, and ar4 mule of two pieces of bamboo crossed, covere 1 with the tbin but very sttong Japanase pap?r.

Tbo people all "assembled on the top ol "Kompira," a hill about eleven hundred fe®t high, and tho air was thick with kit'.-s. Suveial hundred kites we,re iu the air at the same time, and the gieat aim of each operator is to so iv.aneuver his kite as

cut the

string of the others. For this purpose the first couple of hundred foot of the string from tbe kite is covered with resin and pounded glass. Sometimes four or five kites would get foul of each other, then the thing was either to gntyour kite clear or cut the strings of tho others. Then again baring cut a kite string, it was wonder.'ul to see them catch this detached kite, away up in theair, with their kite and capture it, the universally

ed rule being that a kite belongs to you just so long as you can' keep it out of somebody else's hands The Japs never get angry about such things. It would have bean hard to have found twenty or thirty thousand people anywhere else in the world to enjoy themselves so much and with nothing disagreeable attending it."

Ilatber Smefcy.

It is stated that uot a steamer leaves New York for Havana, that it dots not take out from two thousand to live thousand reams, or in occasional instances as high as thirty thousand reams of coarse brown wrapping-pa-per. What this paper was used for was lor along lime a mystery: but it has recently been revealed that it enters into tbe manufacture of "pure Havana cigars." It is said that when saturated iu the juice of tobacco stems, the straw paper makes a "filliug" almost equal, if uot superior, to tbe genuine leaf. In fact, it is sometimes impossible to detect the delicate film of paper inter lapped with leaves in the finished cigar, or neatly folding the exterior. For this purpose, we are told, it serves admirably, tbe paper, under combustion, leaving no residum other than a pure white ash- To such a refinement of art has this been carried that by tbe use of the machines rolled ever tbe sheet of paper an almost perfect impression ot tbe tobacco leaf is obtained the peculiar "spots"'being printed as on calico. Smokers of Havana cigars will no doubt consume their "weed" with an added zest alter loarning of what it is probably composed..

A Japanese Princes employed an English-seaa rees to fashion tbe longng white dresses and dainty apparel belonging to an infants ward robe, but not knowing how to array her baby in its new elothe^, she called to her assistance an American woman. The Prince, the Princess, and and their children repaired to the nursery io witness the performance, ond when the baby was thoroughly dre sed and

wrapped

in her

richly embroidered blanket, tbe father and mether kissed the hands

Female Lyucii Law

A Philadelphia itetu appri°es U-J of fact, never suspected before, that Judge Lynch is marrl*.d. 8he takes after the old)mau, too, in very close fashion. She called on a Mrs. Osborne on Tuesday, and demanded of her au apology for slandering her (Mis. LV) iiu.-band Mrs* O. replied that she would consent to her eternal punishment tirst-. Thereupon Mrs. Lynch drew a prettylittle revolver from her pretty littln mull and inserted a good sized bnllet in Mrs. Osborne's ieit lung. We are. not pleased, says tbe Cincinnati times wMi this class of performances: but Johu Henry look* irpon thein with a cheerful countenance. He oilers to stay home and terdthe baby, and wash the dishes, if his wife will go out and whip Lis creditors. "Mrs, Henry,'' nays he, "if you get killed I pledge you ray word and honor that you shall liav» stunning funeral." lim i—u1in—p«P— gsAtrr^
