' He then handed to the clerk and had jead a telegram from the Sec retary of State announcing the death in Havana, of the yellow fever, of tae Hon J E Leonard, of Louisiana. ; Ellis, of Louisiana : "I am sure the announcement just made will carry sincere regret to every heart that beats here, and to those who knew Judge Leonard well, who had -opportunities to meet him socially, this announce ment will carry very great sadness. It is not my purpose now to enter into any detailed account of his life or pub lic services, nor to eulogize those shining virtues which bound him to "those who knew him well. Virtues not of the head, but of the heart. Qa another and more fitting occasion it will be my duty to pay proper tribute to my late oolleague. I therefore move that, in respect to the memory of Judge Leonard, the House do now adjourn." The motion prevailed, and at 4:40 p ni the House adjourned until to morrow. The committee reported, 7 to 3, to remove Doorkeeper Polk. He violat ed the law in the interest of members of CoDgress and not for his own benefit. ; rne iiouse committee on .Banking and Currency agreed to report the bill for certificates on silver, redeemable at New York and San Francieco and re ceivable for all government dues.

In the Arlington case, which was argued at Alexandria, in the United States Cir cuit Court, before Judge Hughes, on the 2nd, 4th and 5th insts, the judge rendered his decision here to-day. General Custis Lee. brought suit for ejectment last year against the occu pants of the estate in the State courts for Alexandria couaty. The cause pro ceed 3d to issue, and thereupon was removed by certiorari to the Federal court, where the Attorney-General intervened in behalf of the United States by a suggestion showing that the government had by record title attained by purchase at a tax sale in and was in possession for a pubs the present action is in the nature of a .writ of right, an4 la only ejectment in name under . ptat , law, and that the English decisiooS'in holding that eject ment will. noti:iie, but that petition of right will ie really . prove - that i the crown, may te sued by r judicial pro ceeding; .. :' :i,: i f. -' . v f Coming to the final question, wheth er the government - may be ' indirectly ued forlands in its possession in pro ceedings' to .which the occupants are parties defendant to the record, the judge citesjftJiniPl cases from Meigs vs Mcuiung, atnrancn a report? dowr to Cmievvl O'Conner. in IS iWallace, in whicli the United States courts , have exercised jurisdiction in just such cases as this of -Arlington, with the sanctiory of the Supreme. Court. . He then shows ; that the Su preme Courts of yirginia, JyQuisiana, Illinois, California, and other: States, have supported the ruling of the Unit ed States Supreme Court, in the exer? cise of such jurisdiction. The judge declared, that he ia bound; hy these authorities to hold that this cause may proceed to the issue on its merits,: and to sustain the plaintiff's demurrer as to the Attbroey-Generarg suggestion. The judge said that he had studied the authorities with the more solicitude from the circumstance that all the tax title derived from the tax commissions ers, who sold Arlington to the United Slates, had been practically, over thrown by the decision of the Supreme Court in Bennett vs Hunter, in 9 Wal lace, and Tacey vs Irwin, in 18 Wal lace, and the fatewof the government's tenure of Arlington eeemed to depend on this question of jurisdiction. If his decision was wrong, however, he con soled himself by the reflection that it would doubtless be reviewed on a wiit of error by the Supreme Court., THE ECHOES OF THE WAR. STILL NOTHING SETTLED. An Early Meeting of the Congress not Probable Leo Wants Russia and Ger many to Compromise Discussion as to Who Will Enter the Congress and Who Not Grecian Feeling Against Russia The Cspar's Nephew Mention ed for King of Bulgaria. London, March 15. The Standard announces that the admiralty has or dered all outward bound men-of-war detained to strengthen the Mediterra nean fleet. A special to the Times from St- Pe tersburg announces the arrival there of Gen Ignatieff andJLeouf Pasha. The Times Berlin correspondent states that an early meeting of the congress is no longer probable. Rus sia displays no particular anxiety for it to meet at all in consequence of Eng land's and Austria's demands that the whole treaty be submitted. A Berlin dispatch to the Times says the Pope indirectly expressed a wish for a compromise with Russia and Germany. The Vienna correspondent of the Timet says Russia does not contest the right of congress to decide what clauses of the treaty involve European inter ests. England demands that the con gress shall have power to discuss all clauses. Neither power seems dispos ed to give way. Thus, unless a com promise is arranged,- fresh difficulties, and not formaljones merely, may arise, causing a delay if nothing worse. Italy and Germany, while assenting in prin ciple to the admission oi Greece to the congress, think the congress should formally decide the matter. Austria coincides, but is willing to have the matter decided before the meeting. The question of the admission of the vassal states is not thereby prejudiced. The Times' Paris .correspondent re- ports that Servia has formally claimed admissson to the congress. It is now certain that England has unreservedly adhered to the French proposal for chase of $750,000 for shiDment to America, . . . The jury in the case of the six chil dren on trial in Columbia, S C, for the murder of a., negro youth, returned a verdict of not guilty, and the children were restored to their parents. , V jMartin ergin, a Moliie Maguirey and one of the alleged murderers of Patrick Burns, arrived at Pottsville, Pa, yesterday, morning from Canada, irl charge oi Pinkerton's detectives.

The Standard's Rome correspondent hears from high authority that the Cardinals have de clared that the Ton tiff can, under cer tain reservations, renounce in tbe in-, Jerests of the Church, thmatertaf pro perly of the Church. 1 his opinion has been asked so as to free the Pope from being perpetually bound by con siderations relative to the temporal power. Murderer Respited. Augusta, Ga., March 15. Robert McEvoy, convicted of the murder of J J Gregg, of this city, at Graniteville, S C, and sentenced to be hung to-day at Aiken, S C, was respited by Gov Hamp ton until the S$th inst., on two grounds: The invalidity of the sentence and his statement that he knew about the mur der of Sawyer at Ridge Spring, S C, in 1874.

FURNITURE DEALER, Removed next door to JPost Office, the government, could proceed, and moving to dismiss for want of jurisdic tion. To this suggestion the plaintiff demurred, and answered, and the case was heard and. argued at Alexandria on the suggestion and demurrer. The decision rendered here to-day was confined to the law questions , arising in 1 the case as it stands upon tht record. The court held that the suggestion did not of itself defeat the jurisdiction, but that the court might , look into the rieht to discover the grounds of the government s title, ana or its ngnt to intervene. Accordingly the court pro ceeded to enquire whether the govern ment held the estate in its sovereign or in a private character, and, in the latter event, whether it held the estate for public purposes. The cession of the State jurisdiction was never ob tained, not even from the Alexandria Tio provision of law forms. Nobody wiH oppose England freeing Egypt from vassalage, if she lies in accord with the other- powers. All the powers have agreed that the questions of Egypt, Syria. Jiunis and holy places can only be raised at con gress- with the consent of France, and within the limits she prescribes. The admiralty have bought the Bra zilian iron clad, Independence.

It Speaks for Itself. Rockpoet,, Mass., April 2d, 1877. Mr .Editor : Having read m your paper reports of the. remarkable cures of eatanh, I am induced to tell "what I know about catarrh," and I fancy the 'snuff" and "in-haling-tubeM makers (mere dollar grabbers) would be glad if they could emblazon a similar cure in the papers. For 25 years I suffered with catarrh. The nasal passages became completely closed. "Snuff," "dust," "ashes," "inhaling-tubes," and "sticks," wouldn't work, though at intervals I would sniff up the so-called catarrh snuff, until I became a valuable tester for sucn medicines. I gradually- grew worse, and no one can know how much I suffered or what a mis erable being I was. My nead acned over my eyes so that I was confined to my bed for many successive days,, sunenng trie most intense pain, whieh at one time lasted continuously for 168 hours. All sense of smell and taste gone, sight and hearing im paired,' body shrunken and weakened, ner vous system shattered, and constitution broken, and I was hawking and spitting seven-eighths of the time. I prayed for death to relieve me of my suffering. A favorable notice in your paper of Dr Sage's Latarrn Kemedy induced me to purcnase a package, and use it with Dr Pierce's Nasal Douche, which applies the remedy by by drostatic pressure, the only way compatible with common sense. Well, Mr Editor,, -it did ho t cure m,a in three-fcu.rtb.8cf a second, nor in one hour or month, hut in less than eight minutes I was relieved, and in three months entirely cured, and have remained so for over sixteen montns. wniie using the Catarrh Remedy, I used Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery to ptriiy my blood and strengthen my stomach I also kept my liver active and bowels regular by the Use of his Pleasant Purgative Pellets; If my experience will induce other sufferers to seek the same means of relief, this letter wu; prices." .
