WASHINGTON
A
Fiery Debate in the Houso
Scannell, the Recusaut Wit
ncss, the Cause The
Spicy and Pathetic
Blended.
The New York ITeraUVs Washington corres
pondence published this morning contains the
following:
Unquestionably the spiciest hit of debatethat
baa ocourred iu Congress for along time turned
up in the House this morning. Mr. H rooks
started tbe fun by offering a resolution for the
discharge of the contumacious witness Hoan
nell, without cost, premising by saying that
the witness had got to be a ua.i member of ibe
H use, whose expulsion wax desirable. Brooks
then solemnly declared that the witness Wf s a
poor Mew York boy, unable to pay the costs In
sisted upon by the Inexorable Judge Inwrenoe,
ofUblo. Meappealedto his fellow inembbr,faii
ruan of the Investigating Committee, not to In
tel price an objection to (ho prisoner's discharge.
But Judge Lawrence would not be appealed to in
that wey, unless the prisoner should make
affidavit as to his inability to pay 1 ho fine de
manded by the lUHUlted dignity of the House
of ltopresentatlves. Judge Lawrence slyly re
marked that he saw no evidence to prove that
tbe noble sou of New York was In a partlou
larly destitute or starving condition. Me
bad beard that tbe honnrtule Hcannell had
been a member of the New York Common
Council, and wickedly Intimated that If the
Illustrious renstltuent of Hopliomore Brooks
had not consequently grown rich he ought to
have done so, as It was well known that mem
bers of the New York Uommon Council were
not celebrated for their poverty. Brooks fired
up at Ibis "sneer" at the Integrity of the Im
maculate municipal legislators of New York
At least he feigned great indication; said
be would not sit quiet and hear a constituent
of his slandered by Judge Lawrence or "auy
other man;" that the right of habeas corpus
and personal liberty was violated by Hcannell's
detention In a Congressional prison, aud that
tbe Honne was demeaning Itself by persecuting
a poor, artless, innocent youtn,who had com
mitted no crime, but merely had striven to
avoid betraying a confidence reposed in him,
"Would tbe House persist In this tyrannical
course?" asked Brooks, lu a highly pathetlo
tone. "Would It allow a poor, hard-working man
to be longer Incarcerated?" Brooks about this
time bad his handkerchief to his eyes, while
members on both sides were splitting with
laughter. Brooks was going heavily into the
pathetics, when he was suddenly checked by a
question from Judge Kcllcy. of Pennsylvania,
who wanted to know If the prisoner, who had
money enough to carry a company of voters to
Philadelphia last election, could not possibly
ralBe a little to pay the trilling bill of costs ?
Brooks played the highly Indignant again and
lectured Judge Kelley lor presuming to
traduce the charaoter of one of his con
stituents. He was Interrupted again, hew
ever, by Dickey, of Pennsylvania, asking
If poor laboring men In New York generally
wear diamond' breastpins, an Inquiry wlnon
fairly brought down the house. Members
roared and the galleries screamed with laugh
ter. Brooks, however, was not to be pat down
In that way, aud therefore turned his guns
upon Dickey. How did his honorable fiTeud
from Lancaster know that the prisoner's
breastpin contained a genuine diamond might
it not be only paste? ills honorable frleud
ought to be more careful how he made reckless
statements. He would not sudor the rights of
his constituent to be sneered down or ridiculed
in that way, and once more Brooks lauuohed
Into high pathetics, keeping the diamond
breastpin in sight. Might aot the
noble prisoner at tbe bar of the House be
one ol those true sons of toll In New York who
had saved some rich man's son from death and
destruction.and been rewarded by the wealthy
parlentwith a diamond breastpin? Might he
not have borrowed the breustpln from some
friend lu New York ? ( Hoars of laughter.) The
prisoner came here, ot course, in bis best
clothes, to appear as well as he oould before tbe
asBembltd wisdom of Congress. Judge Kelley
struck In with another ugly iuqulry about tilts
time. Could not the prisoner, .said the Judge,
In his deepest Forrestlan tone, raise enough
money to pay the costs by mortgaging his
lemous trotting horse Hero? More laughter at
the expense of Brooks, who retorted by saying
something qnlte Inaudible about mortgaging
Kelley himself, and something very audibly
concerning Philadelphia being the blrthplaoe
or bogus voters and voting. Kelley sprang to
his feet again to make anot her Inquiry, but
Brooks relused to hear it, declaring that he
wanted no more "horse talk" from the Phila
delphia gentleman. John Covode suggested
that enough time bad been spent In "this here
comedy," and said thatsoine of the members of
his delegation were willing to subscribe the
amount of the costs In order to get rid of the
New York elephant. Mulllns of Tennessee
seemed "billng" to "Kit bis pint In," but was
choked off by Brooks calling the previous
question on a modified resolution pro
viding that the prisoner be discharged on
making an affidavit of his Inability to oiv
costs. During this comic performance on the
floor tbe Illustrious ttcannell, who was so
pathetically pictured by Brooks as a captive
pining away in a Congressional dungeon, was
enjoying bis fame In one of the galleries up
stairs. A flue, big-chested speolmen of a New
York boy he Is, too, apparently musoular
enough to break through the doors of a dozen
dungeons more formidable than that nsed by
Ord way , tbe good- naturad Serjeant-at-Arms of
tbeHonse,a bright, smart-looking personage,
too, who was unjustly described by some
of the correspondents here as looking
like a regular Bowery boy, Ue resents the
comparison, and oompiaius that the news- 1
papers have been pitching Into him for
the last ten years very unfairly. He says he
lives in the Eighteenth ward, and knows every
voter there by his first or last name. Upon
being asked by your correspondent Whether
Judge Kelley 's ebarge about bringing
voters to Philadelphia was true, and whether
he had been Indicted in that city therefor, he
answered that be had heard of his indictment,
but had been to that city lately, and nobody
molested him. About the horse here he said.
"Perhaps it might have been left to him
since big departure from New York
but he couldn't say." Your eor'
respondent's Interview with tbe prisoner
terminated by the Utter extending an invita
tion to go with him to the minstrels to-night,
an Invitation not acespted owing to pressing
engagements. Boannell will probably Had

Ptraoual Dlffleultles Among- Members.
There Is a rumor afloat to-night about a
threatened difficulty between a oandldatefor
Speaker of the next House auu two brother
members. The cause of tbe dluionlty Is said to
be remarks made by the aspirant far the
Bpeakerstolp, at a private Utuner party not
many days ago, not complimentary to ttie two
other members. The ooDsequnaoe Is said to
have been the despatching ol a bullioose letter
by one of the Congressmen aggrieved, auklnii
the party who is supposed to have made
the oUentdve speeoh lur au exact statement
of what was said. On receiving this letter the
member addressed went ever to tbe aovrleved
member and inquired what he meant. "You
know very well what I mean, sir." ! do not
understand yonr meaning exactly." ! think
you must understand we.slr. I want no apo

The Interview is said ti'baveyterrnlnaed by

GENERAL GRANT.
II In Opinion of Universal HnflTrage,
Hldney Andrews, the Washington correspon
dent of the Boston Advertiser, sent the following
Important telegram on Tuesday, which appears
at the bead of tbe Washington news, la that
paper, on Wednesday, double leaded:
"General Orant in conversation this morn
ing took squai e ground in favor of the prin
ciple of impartial sullrnge. He seemed to nave
some doubt about the power of Congress to
regulalev8uffrRge by law, but said that there
could be no sound objection to submitting a
constitutional amendment to tbe people. He
spoke of tbe one passed by the House on Hatur
day as embodying tbe right idoa, but expressed
noopinlon on the language therein ouuseu. He
said explicitly that the principle or Impartial
suffrage is right in Itself, and added that as we
have through the lteonnHtruoilon acts Imposed
negro suffrage on the Houthern Htates.lt is only
fair that the Northern Mtalea should give the
ballot to their own colored eitl.ens. Heihoiijbt
the question at Issue had better be disposed of
as soon as possible, so as to take a disturbing
element out of our affairs, aud indioated a hope
that tbe amendment would be passed byUoa.
giess before tbe end of the present session."
These are most Important uud slgoltlnant
woids. Urged by duly aud tbekr sense of Jus
tice, tbe Senate and tbe Legislature will aot
the more promptly under the inspiration of this
glowing lnnguag, vVe bad anticipated it from
the President eiect; his character for common
sense aud praetlcal sagacity authorised us to
do so; his policy of .fv are additionally sane
tloned our expectations; It was plainly stated
some weeks ago that such were his decided
views: but this plain and dlreet reiteration is
cumulative, unanswerable, and conclusive.
We renewedly take courage that Gener.il
Grant is so sagacious, so honest, and so truly a
friend of demooratlo equal rights.
"Let us have Peaoe" on the suffrage question.
Wiltn initon Commercial.
1 be President Elect auI his Aliululstr.
fiou. From the Cincinnati Commercial, Feb, 4.
blx weeks ago the politicians in Washington
who fancied that they were the persons to be
consulted by General Grant in regard to Cabi
net appointments were fretting because their
advice had not been asked, aud because General
Grant appeared to have frieuds in New York
city with whom he made himself ut home.
There was a little amusement aud not a little
Irritation because, when General Grant arrived
in Washington, Boon after tho November elec
tion, he caused some bushels of letters addressed
to blm to be burned wltboat reading. That
circumstance, upon the whole, did not lO'Jk as
if the General would be ou the most amicable
terms with the party hacks aud acknowledge
Infinite obligations to the professional poli
ticians. Now, General Grant la going to New
York again, and though bis Inauguration will
take place within a month, he has not opened
his mouth about his Cabinet, futtner than to
say that he would presently not ask advloe, but
adi lse the gentlemen he proposes to call
to the heads of departments. It is believed,
and there is terror in the thought, that be has
deliberately taken his pocket slate and ciphered
out the Cabinet for himself. How does he know
whether his Cabinet will please the party?
Well, perhaps he don't care very muoti whether
the party Is pleased. At any rate the wi os'. of
the persons assembled at VVashlngtan, and by
courtesy called statesmen, shake their heads
and say they know notbiug about Grant, lie
was a military necessity, and that's all; or, in
tbe lat words of "Hamlet," "the rest Is
silence."
It will be remembered that the House of Re
presentatives some timeago hurriedly repealed
tbe Tenure-rt-OUice bill, aud It must have been
noticed that the Senate has not done anything
of the tort; and it is tolerably apparent that it
will not be done. Clearly, in the first place, the
Senate would unwllllugly, lu any case, resign
the peculiar power which it has exercised dur
ing the war with Andrew Johnson; and cer
tainly it appears there is a disposition, while
Grant withholds his confidence from the Sena
tors, to hold the Senate in a position to subordi
nate him. More tban that, tbere is a bill before
the Senate, and likely to be passed, forbidding
a person In tbe military aud naval service
holding civil office. The real Intent and mean
ing ot tbe bill Is to prevent Grant from making
a general Secretary of War and an admiral
Secretary of the Navy. This is the more sig
nificant because It Is no secret that it ia Grant's
disposition to dojost that.
RAILR PAD SUBSIDIES.
A ienerol Scramble 1'or Plunder.
The- Washington correspondence of the
If. Y. Evening Tout says:
The force of precedent hag never been more
strikingly shown than in the case of grants of
land and subsidies in bonds to railroads. If
we remember aright, the earliest steps taken
by the Government towards enoouraglng pio
neer settlement ol the great Western Territo
ries met with na feeble opposition; and slow
ftrogress was made in securing the passage of a
aw granting homesteads to pioneer settlers.
About 1841 or 1812 a law was1 pissed granting
homesteads to Oregon pioneers, and was a
great concession on the part of
Congress, and encouraged many pio
neers In their emigration westward. And
twenty years ago public sentiment had pro
gressed so far that an Immense quantity of the
public lands were granted to the State of Illi
nois to aid in the construction of the Illinois
Central Railroad about U.tJOU.OOi) acres; tone
fourteenth of the area of the State. The results
were beneficial to the nation, apd to day Illi
nois is one of tbe most thrlity States In the
Union. Following close upon this donation

MEXICO.
Outrages on Americana An Insoll to
our Government.
A gentleman wbo arrived in New York on the
4th Inst, gives the following news from
Mexico:
1 have Just arrived from Mexico. During a
residence of fourteen yeara In that eountry I
have witnessed many shameless and brutal
outrages upon American oiil.ens, and when
these were brought to tbe notice of the Ameri
can Government no attention was paid to them
by those whose business it was to ask for re
dress or give protection. While such men as
Kosta, of Smyrna notoriety, would oommand
the attention of our naval commanders, as well
as onr Secretary of State, native-born Ameri
cans have had to sntfer death. Imprisonment,
and every other indignity that the semi-barbarous
Mexicans oould inflict without causing
a tingle diplomatic note to Issue from the Slate
Departmeut, or a remonstrance from any
quarter except by some newspaper.
I have seen tbe American flag torn from Its
flagstaff lnGuayraas and dragged Insultingly
through tbe streets by a howling mob of half
naked Mexicans, whileat anchor near tbe town
where this shameless insult was perpetrated
lay tbe St. Mary, Uni'ed States inn-of-wr,
without offering to shieldour flag. Neither did
onr Government ever demand unv apology or
redress for this Insult. During ttie late civil
war General Butler hung one of oar own people
for doing what these half-clvlll.ed MhxIcius
did to our flag, with this difference Mulford
only pulled the flu;; down, while the Mexicans
not only tore the flag from the flagstaff, but
dragged It through the streets.
Ou the 4th day of January of this year tbe
wrlterof this happened to be lu tbe Mexican
port of Ban Bias, on the Pacini). There was an
American schooner tbere from San Kranolsoo
which had discharged her cur so aud was ready
to sail. Without auy previous notice on armed
Ale el half-nakd soldiers were placed od board
of bis vessel, with orders to prevent her sailing.
Tbe captain in vain produced his patters to
prove that, all was right, but all arguments
and rensoning were left aside, and he was
told that they -had the power aud caose to ex
ercise it.
At this juncture the American mm-of-war
Molt on go, Captain Stephen B Luce, came Into
the port, droppei her aaohor, and her captain at
onoe proceeded to Investigate tbe case of this
Bchoooner. His clear head comprehended the
whole matter. He said but few words; these
few, however, Were directly to the point. The
schooner was forthwith released, the captain's
manifest delivered in a gracious mauner,
with a host of apologies to him as well
as to Captain Luce. Captain Luce des
patched this affair In less than one hour, and
as he left Informed the Mexioan officials
that he should be back that way in about ten
days; that his business was to look after the
Interests of Amerloan citizens. This la the
first instance among tbe many that I have
been witness to In Mexico that proinnt redress
has been demanded by our naval o (Hoots, and
as promptly compiled with by tbe sneaking
curs wbo perpetrated the Insult, an J who gene
rally resort to diplomacy and Jugglery to avoid
making amends for the outrages they commit.
This action ol a naval commander upon the
Mexican coast Is worth recording, as It Is tbe
first Instance of our navy being of any value to
ns In the protection of American Interests In
Mexico.
TERRITORIAL ACqUISillQN.
Annexing: the Islands of the Atlantic
The islands of the sea that hang on the verge
of the Amerloan oontlnent, like ripe fruit, are
almost ready to drop Into the lap of the Ameri
can eagle. But old seareorows, like the raven
of the Tribune, are horrified at the Idea that
anything that Secretary Seward favors should
succeed, and take to croaking about "too
much territory," and all that sort of hum
bug, so familiar to windy reformers and
number one demagpguea. Here is St, Do
mingo, according to the account furnished
by the Tribune's Washington correspon
dent, knocking at Unole Stm's door, and
asking to be admitted. There, too, stands
pugnacious young Cuba imploring suocor to
throw off' the yoke of Spain, that she may
gather herself under the protecting wing of the
Amerloan eagle. There, loo, is bankrupt old
ispain, rcaoy toget riaoi ner reiracioiy step
child, if Uucle warn will only say the word.
But Uncle Sam, Ilk an old goose, la frightened
out of bis wits by tbe clamor of the ravens of
the Tribune, that it would be afoo.isu specula
tlon that we have "too much territory' This
Invariably has been the cry of old womeu and
old noodles, whenever mention has been made
of adding another star to our standard auother
state to our continent, as wen might an in
dividual fear too much health or religion to3
much virtue. The more strands tbere are la a
rope the stronger it becomes, and wbat Is true
of cables is equally true of States and nations.
Our institutions are capable of Infinite exten
sion, like an India-rubber telescope, and with
every extension they become more liber Allied
and less clannish, sectional, and bigoted. The
fears now expressed against more territory
caused the "Klders of Kphesus" to shudder
over tbe acquisition of Louisiana, Florida
California, aud New Mexico. When Mr. Jeffer
son mentioned the purchase of the two former
States a eertain class of oro tkers, in New Eng
land, particnla rly.were horrified, and for years
opposed their introduction In the family or
States with as much virulence as they would
have fought against the Introduction of the
smallpox or the potato ought, now inauaKii
w should be that there delusive alarms were
hot listened to by those who then guided our
destinies! How sensible people twenty years
from now will look baok and wonder that such
bogus reformers as Ureelev oould be toleratei I
But It was ever thus. AT. Y. Oonu Adotrtlser,
