It ia stat ed that Potter will resign the chair manship of the committee on the Texas Pacific Railroad. It appears that the majority of the committee are in favor of Congressional encour agement to the road, agaicet which Mr Potter, as chairman of the New York Democratic Convention, is somewhat committed. Potter is not by any means opposed to the road. Senate The Vice President appoint ed the following as tbe special commit tee, authorized by the resolution of Mr Edmunds, to consider the subject of ascertaining and declaring the vote for President and Vice President of the United States : Edmunds, of Vermont, Conkling, of New York, Howe, of Wis consin, McMillan, of Minnesota, Teller, of Colorado, Davis, of Illinois, Bayard, of Delaware, Thurman, of Ohio, and Morgan, of Alabama. The Banking and Currency commit tee agreed, by a vote of 7 to 4, to re port a bill repealing the resumption act. TheHouse is reading the journal, which covers the titles of nearly one thousand bills. There is no doubt of Potter's declin ing the chairmanship of the Texas Pa cific Railroad committee. House. The reading of Monday's journal was not ended till 2.40 this afternoon. Then the President's message was divided between the com mittees of Appropriation and Ways and MeaDs. Then Ewing, of Ohio, from the Banking committee, reported a bill to repeal the third section of the resumption act, and Ford, of Illinois, on the part of the minority, reported a bill repealing that jart of the resume tion act which authorizes the selling of bonds for greenbacks. The bill was, on motion of lowing, recommitted ana a motion to reconsider that vote, made on the part of the opposition, and which was regarded as a test question, was defeated by twenty-two majority The bill is now in the control of the Banking committee, and may be called up for action at any time. Senate. Burnside introduced a bill removing the restrictions against the enlistment of colored men in the army. Executive session, and adjourned. The Naval committee of the House have resolved to report a bill paying arrearages of salaries to sailors. The general deficiency was not discussed. The committee on Appropriations vouchsafe no information. Confirmations A large number o: postmasters, including Thompson, at Memphis; Jones, at .Nashville; Reg ister of Land Office, Anderson, Mont eomery ; Gibbs, of Little Rock, receiv er of public monies; Strobacb, at Montgomery, and a number of army and navy promotions. Hon Clarkson N Potter has declined the chairmanship of the House com mittee on the Texas Pacific Railroad, solely, as he states in a letter to Speak er Randall, because of his large inter est in a Pennsylvania railway, of which Col Thos A Scott is president. This, he thought, would be regarded as unfitting him lor service on tnat committee. Otherwise he would wil lingly have accepted the position. His letter of declination was sent to the Speaker. Monday evening, and will be submitted to the House, which can alone excuse him. The committee on Postoffices and Post Roads was organized to-day, with Hon A M Waddell, of North Carolina, as chairman. The committee will re port, as the first business, the resolu tion of Mr Reagan, which pays South ern mail contractors for transporting the mails in 1861. asking that the Sec retary of the Treasury be required to pay said claims at once. His GENEK U FORREST. Funeral atllWempuIs Tri bute to Hii Memory. Memphis, Oct 31. The funeral of Gen Forrest took place to-day from Cumberland Presbyterian church, Rev Dr Stain back, who had been a private soldier under Gen Forrest, officiating. The streets, for squares, were crowded with people. Among the pall bearers were Jefferson Davis, Gov Porter. Ja cob Thompson, Cel Galloway, Dr Cow an and Major Rambaut, of Gen'l h or rest's staff. The funeral cortege was composed of mounted ex-Confederates, preceding the hearse, music, Odd Fel lows, the Chickasaw Uuards, the Bluff City Grajs, the Memphis Light Guards, the Memphis Artillery, ex-Confederate soldiers, ex-Union soldiers, civil organ izations, the mayor ana city council, the fire department and citizens on foot. Business was suspended during the funeral. Washington, Oct all The adjourn ed meeting of Confederates and others, companions, subordinates and friends of Gen Forrest, was largely attended, and the following was adopted: 5 Whereas, We have learned with deep regret that General N B Forrest, ot lenneesee, after a painful and protracted illness, has departed this life ; therefore, be it Resolved, That we, his companions in arms, deem it meet ana proper to give expression to our admiration and es teem for our departed friend and fel low soldier. Born of hujoble parents, poor and untutored in youth, he was successiui in civil me, ana was tne no blest specimen of a citizen soldier. With unconscious power he began his military career, a. private in the ranks. With increasing consciousness of strength he passed through the grada tions of command until he stood at the head of a cavalry corps, the terror of one army and the admiration of the other. With the intrepid dash of Murat and the dauntless courage of Ney, he possessed a native strategy second to no man. In battle his name alone was a tower of strength, his presence ever inspiring courage in the weak and confidence in the strong, and be will live in history as nature s mill' tary genius. Resolved, That Gen Forrest won hi name in the Confederate service, but that his fame belongs to the American people, and will be cherished by all who venerate true courage and who feel that the liberties of the republic can only be preserved while its citizens prefer death to dishonor. Resolved, That we tender to his be reaved family our sympathy for the great loss which they share in common with us and tbe State. (Signed) Jos R Chalmers, of Mississippi. G C DlBEELL, of Tennessee.
