Woiford. r f Kv . rerumed Ids speech in favor ot the tall, contending that the trial upon which General Porter had been convicted had not been a fair trial. Pope had been seeking a man upon whom to put the blame for beinn whipped, and s-elected Porter. He (Yol- ' ford blamed Cfenls. L?e. Longstreet. Jackson and nil Confederate soldiers: i nut Pope hitd blamed a Union General who had done hisduty nobly. Mr. Negley, of Penra , and Mr. Fuller, "f Iowa, opposed the bill as an insult to evcrv soldier who perilled his life to save his country, The Committee then rose and at 4:13 . the House adjourned. Sknath Feb. 16. Mr. Brown pre-1 sented a petition of citizens of Savan- i nah. Ga,. paying for the repeal of the '. silver coinage act. Mr. Brown stated I that while he disagreed with the state- j ment of the petition as to thn law being ' injurious to the country, he felt it is his duty to presentit. , The educational bill was then takeu , a t-i .... . ne- iliu an. jauKson look tne ttoor in favor of the measure. He said the chief objection to the bill was that it was un constitutional. If this was well found ed that ended the discussion. The bill did not compel the State to takes to take the money. The action of each State was voluntary. He contended that Congress had the power to appropriate fumis for educational purposes. He showed that millions cf dollars had been appr jpriated ;for that purpose ia the States, and declared that none of the creat authorities of the Government has any distinction between the funds de r ved from sales of public lands and those which catSe from other sources of revenue. In conclusion. Mr. Jackson said this measure might fail, but he esteemed it a great personal privilege, as well as a high and patriotic duty, to gire it his support, for he was impressed with the conviction that if we would provide against the dangers which no free gov ernment had yet survived we must take wiser precautions than any nation had ever before taken, by diffusing far and wide among our people that intelligence w hich alone will constitute the safe guard and protection of our political institutions. IIorsK Mr. James, of N.T., reported ad versely Mr. Bland 's bill for the free coinage of silver. Placed on the calen dar. Mr. Bland filed a minority report, and asked its consideration tit an early day. Mr. Clardy. of Mo., from the com merce committee, reported adversely a hill authorizing the construction of "a bridge across the Staten Island sound. and establishing the same as a post road Baltimore and Ohio bridge.) Placed tn the calendar. The consideration of the bill authoriz ing the Executive Deparments of the Government to exhibit certain articles at the New Orleans Exposition whb then resumed, and pending a vote on the . bill, the morning hour expired, and the ' Fitz John Porter bill was laid before the ' House in committee of the whole. Mr. "Wheeler (Ala.) made a long spee-h in favor of the bill, declaring! that Porter, by his skill and intrepidity, won more distinction than any other officer of the Army of the Potomac. In conclusion. Mr. Wheeler, speaking of the attitude of himself and other ex Confederates who supported the bill, i said : "As gentlemen, we are obliged to do frankly and fearlessly what we conceive to be honorable and right: as servants f the people, we roust strive to secure this tardy justice to one who so ably ; served them, and as citizenslof this : great Republic, it is our duty and our pride to cherish ;and defend its honor, ! and we therefore seek to efface this-1 blot upon the fair fame of our country. " , Mr. Cutcheon (Mich.) began his speech i a opposition to the bill by say-1 ink-: "Mr. Chairman or. perhaps, I should rather say "if the court please' the tuprerae court-martial of the army is I now in session. "We are now engaged j in rewriting history. If history has' been w ritten erroneously, it should be i rew ritten at a time and under circum stances which ensures greater and not ' less accuracy. '" Mr. Cutcheon did not believe that Congress had the constitutional power ( to revise the findings of a general oouit- : martial when confirmed by the Presi-' dent and executed by his orders, and ' w as opposed to the bill for the addition al reason that ho was profoundly oon-1 vinced that the courtmartial hud ar- . rived at a just conclusion at the time when facts had been justly represented that the verdics had been righteous and i the sentence mei ited. Hethen reviewed the operations oi' the Federal and Con- federate forces on the 29th and 30th of August, and argued that Porter had , been guilty of disobedience of orders. ! Grant had before him everything that I would exculpate, nothing that would c.ndenin. One of the reasons which j had impelled Grant to change his views, was that he had become convinced that there had been no battle on the 29th. Mr. Cutcheon proceeded to read from reports made bv Pope. Sigel, Lee. Jack--on and other commanders to shbw that I a tierce engagement had taken place on . licit day in which eijjht d i visions of the i riion army and six divisions of the ' 'onfederate army, containing at least t T '.uoo men. had taken part: and yet the .

Pending action on' the amendment, Mr. Edmunds moved to go into execu tive session. The bill was ordered re printed as far as amended, and the Sen ata then, at 4:80 p. m., went into execu tive session. At 5 p. m. the doors were reopened, and the Senate adjourned. House Mr. Jones (Tex.) from the Committee on Postoffices and Postroads, reported the bill granting the franking privilege to the widow of Gen. Hancock. Placed on the House calendar. Mr. Cobb (Ind.), on behalf of the Pub lic Lands Committee, called up the' bill for forfeiting the Atlantic and Pacific land grant. The bill forfeits only the lands adjacent to the uncompleted por tions of the road, but Mr. McRae, of Ark', offered as a substitute the bill of the minority of the committee forfeiting the entire grant. Pending the discussion the morning hour expired, and the Houses went into committee of the whole, Mr. Springer (111.) in the chair, on the Fitz John Por ter bill. Mr. Laird (Neb.) made a carefully prepared argument in support of the bill. He maintained that Porter was innocent of any disloyalty either to Gen. Pope or his country and said in re gard to the preferences mads to Gen, Grant that an argument which depend ed on a ghost for its validity was already undone. Mr. Laird concluded as fol lows: "TV hen the roll should be called he trusted he would be found Btili fol io wing the leid of his old commander, and do what Grant 'would do if living, by voting for the restoration of Porter.' Mr. Kelley of Pa., opposed the bill. He quoted from McClellans "dispatch to Porter, asking him not for the sake of his country he knew his correspondent too well for that but for "my sake" to co-operate cordially with Gen. JPope. Mr. Bragg ("Wis.) asserted that that dispatch was written before Pope had come within the lines of "Washington and it had been answered from, the field.. Mr. Kelley replied that Pope was falling back and his troops were coming within the defenses of Washington. 'Think, "he exclaimed, inconolnsion, "of Phil. Sheridan being where Porter was; think of Hancock, think of any soldier that you and I and all of us are ready to honor, living through the 27, 28, 29 and SO of that month of August, and then appealing to the country to obliterate the findings ef a court which Abraham Lincoln in his humanity was constrained to approve." Mr. Kelley asked leave to have printed within his speech the review of the evi dence given beforo the court-martial, ptepared by Judge Advocate Holt, but Mr. Bragg objected. Mr. Thomas (III.) opposed the bill. Mr. Oates (Ala.) made a speech in support of the bill, and he was listened to with great attention as he based his argument upon his personal knowledge of the incidents of the 29th of August. Mr. "Weber (N. Y.) earnestly sup ported the bill, and regretted that upon this question he parted company with many political friends whose motives he did not impugn, but wbose conci sions he could only explain as being based on the theory that a favorable consideration of the bill would reflect on some whose names were the herit age of the country. The committee then rose, and the House at 5:10 adjourned. County Finances. Erncl P. O. Feb. 10. Editor Journal: Having heard that the board of commissioners have al lowed the chairman 5 per cent, of the back taxes for collecting them, I desire to know if there is any law empowering them to pay him more than his per diem while collecting? It seems to me that the act imposing such collection on him as chairman of county commissioners implies that such duty shall be performed as a commis sioner whose pay is fixed by law at $2 per day: and if he was unwilling to as sume the duty for the pay, he should have resigned. How much is 5 per cent, on back tax? How much does the State pay for collecting her part of the said tax? Is Craven county willing or able to pav for collecting State taxes? In response to your invitation I have propounded the above questions by an swering which you will oblige A Constant Reader at Holly Hill. The board of commissioners at the January meeting, we believe, passed the following orders Ordered, That the chairman of the board be allowed as compensation for his services 5 per cent of all monies col lected by him for the county, under the act to enforce the collection of taxes due the State passed by the last General As sembly of North Carolina. "We understand this to mean that the chairman is to receive five per cent of the funds he collects for the county; whether or not the State pays anything for the collection of her portion of these back taxes we are not prepared to an ew er. As to how much is five per cent of the back taxes we can not answer for the reason that we don't know how much has been collected. When the chairman reports to the board the amount collected we will take pleasure in publishing it for the information of the tax-payers of the county. As to whether there is any law for making such an allowance, we know of none. It was undoubtedly the inten tion of the act that the board of com missioners should receive these taxes at their regular meeting without extra pay ; and in nine-tenths of the counties in North Carolina they could do this without interfering with their regular routine business. But in Craven county there were several hundred of these delinquents whose lands had been deeded to the State, and the short notice they had from the Sec retary of State rendered it impossible for the board to receive these taxes, many of them running back several vears. causing considerable trouble to ascertain the amounts due, at the regu lar session, consequently it become necessary that either the whole board should remain in session for this pur pose or to appoint one of their number to remain at the court house from day to day until the rush was over. The commissioners displayed good judg ment in adopting the latter plan. But w as not five per cent an extravagant allowance? This is what our correspon dent thinks and doubtless what every other tax-payer of moderate means thinks. But still it is not so extrava gant as paying bills where no service has been rendered. We are truly glad the tax payers are becoming aroused on the subject of their county finances and taxes. The county commissioners think to ignore the subject and let the people forget it: but they will learn sooner or later that the people are in earnest. There are two tilings that Craven county needs, and she needs them badly: Fir-t. a rigid enforcement of the law iu regard to listing and collecting taxes, and." Second, the most rigid economy iu disbursing the cour.ty linnnces. A ( AliU.
