The chair laid before the Senate a let
ter from the secretary; of war, transmit
ting a petition from - West Point stu
dents who arc to graduate in June, 188(3,
praying that provision may be made
tor their appointment to the army. Re
ferred to the committee on military
anairs
Mr. Voorhecs offered as a substitute
for the resolution recently offered by his
colleague, one reciting in its preamble
that the commissioner of pensions in his
annual report had stated that at onetime
the pension bureau was almost avowedly
a political machine nued with uncom
promising adherents of a single organi
zation, (meaning the republican party,)
aud that claimants were often required
to support the republican party as a con
dition upon which pensions should is
sue. The resolution instructs the com
mittee on expenditures of publio money
to inquire into the truth of these allega
tions, and confers power to send for per
sons and papers.
Mr. Logan said he had nothing to say
against the commissioner of pensions
whom , he respected highly, but h
wished the resolution enlarged so as to
include au investigation ol the present
administration of the office, lie said Col.
Fred. Stevenson, a gallant wounded
soldier, had been removed from his po
sition at the head of a division of the
office, at the demand of a Democratic
member of Congress. No change had
been' made against him and the only
reason known for his removal was that
he had supported an independent Demo
cratic candidate for Congress in opposi
tion to the man who had, him removed.
Mr. Voorheos accepted the ameLdment
offered by Seuator Logan. The resolu
tion went over for one day. 1'

private relief, the hour of 2 o'clock ar-

There is hardly a member of Cougres?
absent from his post today, and now
that the House committees have at last
been announced accompanied with the
usual surprises an-1 disappointments
the national legislature will settle down
to business. '
CARLISLE AND TIIE COMMUTE tS.
No man need envy the speaker in hit
task of forming the House committees
With fifty-two chairmanships to be dis
tributed among nearly 200 democratic
uongressmen every one or whom v
certain he ought to have and is sure h
will obtain one -Mr. Carlisle is com
pelled to disappoint three-fourths of
them. I think he might have done bet
ter by North Carolina, but the , people
or every other state will say the same
thing concerning the representatives of
their commonwealths and so it goes.
The cool, collected judgment of disin
terested statesmen, however, is that the
speaker has shown much good judgment
in the make-up of nearly all his commit
tees. Mr. Reid, whom I understand the
speaker holds in high esteem as a legis
lator, succeeds Gov. Scales on the print
ing committee, as' I predicted he would
in a dispatch two weeks ago. Governor
Scales, however, was chairman,: while
Mj. Reid is the second member. ; Thif
is owing to the rule of precedent in the
House which prohibits .a new member
from being made a chairman. The de
signation of the other members of our
delegation, as you have! been informed
by wire, is generally satisfaatory and suit
able. Judge Bennett is likely to figure
prominently in the deliberations of the
House this winter, as, indeed, will al
the North Carolina. Congressman J. Col
Wharton Green would have made a most
excellent chairman of the committee on
agriculture, and may yet become such
in the Fiftieth Congress. !
A MONUMENTAL MAZE.
The bills introduced in the Sonate by '
Mr. Blair, providing for the erection of
monuments, similar in character and
construction to the Washington obelisk,
to the memories of urant and Lincoln, ;
to cost l.OOO.OOO each, are viewed in a
doubtful light by the solons up at the
capitol. "It kinder takes my breath
away," said of them. "Suppose we
wait until they have been dead as long
as Washington had been j before yonder
House a bill to prevent; the intermar
riage of whites and negroes in the Dis
trict .af Columbia. Hy "negroes" the
bill defines thetn to be all who have
one-eighth or more African blood in their
veins. Judee Beuuett j introduced s
similar bill in the la&t Congress, but it
was not reached before the adjournment.
It is a disgusting sight in Washington
to witness tlie Bocial intercourse between
tome of the lower classes of whites and
nezroea. The former are generally
foreigners or natives of extreme North
ern or Western States, 'and there are
many instances of intermarriage. Judge
Beuuett's bill will probably pass, as it
should. 1 f I .
tub sad skqoel
to the Sloan inyHtery, revealed in the
finding of the body of this Colonel in a
creek ix miles from Baltimore, while
i M-eheved us all of the suspense, was a
sa I and painful revelation to his friends.
There is now no question of his insanity
at the time of death, and he probably
wandered to the stream and fell in to
his death. Poor man ; may the earth
rest lightly on his tired body.
tue civil ssavicc
law received another slap in the Senate
this week in the introduction of a bill
for its repeal, by Senator Vance. A
good many other bills of a similar
tendency are being prepared, j one by
Representative Bennetti I believe; aud
Senator Voorhees is slated to make one
of the finest speeches of hi life in op
position to the law at an early day. In
tho meantime it is a law and President
Cleveland is seeing to the cufdrcenunt
of it. !

repeal the civil service reform statutes.
lie said he had no doubt that ' Senator
Vance was proceeding on principle, and
lie would take much interest in the state-
ment of the reasons for the introduction
of the measure. So long, of course, as
the law was in distance there iwas no
alternative but for him to execute its
requirements as faithfully as he could,
Senator Vance said, in speaking of his
bill and of the .opinions which be ex-
pressed yesterday, that he had no desire

views because they happened to conflict
with those of the President. In conclud-
ing, the Senator said: "We have Ourdif-

AN INTERESTING SCKGICAL OPERATION.

John Sheehan had a new nose nut on
him Sunday, i Sheehan has been rather
well known about town on account of
the disfigurement of his face by the loss
of his nose which was eaten off bv small
pox twelve years ago;. He redly had
no nose at atl nothing but a flat, ulcer
ted place on his face. The bones were
there, but the septum and cartlage were
gone. Thereswere two openings in his
face for nostrils. When Mr. (Sheehan
had cold in the head, whio freqently oc-
curred, his face presented anything but
an attractive appearance. Sheehan, af-
ter struggling twelve years against the
disadvantages incident to his condition,

who was assisted by Drs. Hartigan and
Hickling. The opperation consisted cf
taking a flap from the forehead, twisting
it around and forming a nose of it. A
triangular section, with one point of the
triangle between the eves, was cut in the
forehead. The skin and flesh were cut
The flap was twisted around until .it
hung over the proposed site of the new
nose. The skin about the old nose was
then cut and the flap was sewed in. A
septum was made, and altogether the
hose, when completed, looked verv well.
Today, when a reporter called at the
hospital, Mr. Shechan'a face was swath "
ed in bandages. His hands were secured -
in a muffler, so that be could not,' in his

This is the first Operation of the kind
performed in' this city for probably
twentv five veara. . It is. however, one
of the earliest operation! known to sur-
gery. In the middle ages, when noses
were more frequently knocked off . than
now, thesurgeon was often called-upon f
to repair the damaged face of some un
fortunate knight,' and so such operations
were common. The old Italian method
was to make a trraft from the skin and
flesh of a man's arm to his nose: : The
flap was left hanging partly to the arm.' .
so as to keep up a circulation in the en-
grafted flesh, while nature was making ;
the union. The ! man's arm was there-
fore bound to his head so he could not "
move it. The French method was ta
