To-morrow will be the , one hundred and thirty-eighth anniversary of the birth of George ' Wasifiegton. For a number of , years there Das been some special , cause for rejoicing on oath reenrrence of .the 22d of February ; but sever •before has there been reason for such thorough satisfaction as there is this year. For the first time in our history, the republican sys tem of government in the United States, of which George Washingkm was one of the *bier' forinders, is complete and perfect. The Fifteenth Amendment to the. Constitution, which gives equal rights to all 'citizens, <is a axed fact, needing only a formal procla sition !rout the President of the United States, shich be may issue to-mor row, as a fit date for so grand an announcement. The reconstruction of the Zilely dissevered and distracted Union is also virtually completed, and that is another cause fn idideing on Washington's birthday. The Beat truths of the Declaration of Independence are now fully recognized in the Constitution of the United States, and the clause guaranteeing a republican foim of government to each state Isno lnoger an empty promise. The thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments,: which have been the natural• outgrowth of the victorious struggle of the people against an in solent aristocracy, have given equal rights to all and a uniform system of republicanism in the government of each state: Let us bear these great facts in our minds; in all the observances of the birthday of Washington. 'IIIE BURDEN LIFTED. The effort o introduce slavery, upon the free Territory of Nebraska was the opeasien of Abraham Lincoln's first great championship of that principle of universal human freedom to which the closing years of his life were so nobly deivoted. And Nebraska sends back from her broad, free prairies the fiat which completes the martyr-Presidentjs great work. By the voice of Nebraska, the longing hope of Abraham Lincoln." that in due time the burden should be lifted from all shoulders" is accomplished. The great Reform of the Nineteenth Century, the abolition of American Slavery, is at, last accomplished. Statesmen and political econo mists and philanthropists and students of his 10ry have, in turn, tried their skilful bands at the puzzling problem, and all have agreed upon at least, one point. American Slavery was only to be done away with by some gradual process of partial and distant emanci pation. Colonization was to carry the African lace back to its native shores, by slow degrees ; or there was to be, as in Henry Clay's plan, a slew merging of a portion of the slave popula tion into a condition of freedom by a plan which was not to begin its operations until the then new-born slave child had reached the age of manhood. With all these timidly wise plans, suggesting the popular fear of sudden emancipation, Slavery grew stronger and more audacious. The Slaveholders' Rebellion was set on foot, for the avowed purpose of perpetuating the -wretched institution which lay like a leprous blot upon the fair bosom of the Western Republic. And then the time and the Man, chosen in the providence of God to set at naught the wis dom of the Wise came., Like Samson's riddle of old, «out of the eater came forth meat; and out of the strong, came forth sweet ness? The Slaveholders' Rebellion proved to be the grave of Slavery. Abraham Lincoln, with one stroke of his pen wrote the death-warrant of the Great iniquity. Re who, in his earlier days, had strained his anxious eyes into the fttsure.of his country, hoping for the day which neither he nor any man could see, save by the strongest faith, when the "burden should be lifted from all shoulders," became, himself, the 'Aerator of. the enslaved, millions of this continent. There are few more interesting studies for the reader of American history, than Abraham Lincoln's attitude toward the great question of , Anierican slavery. Anxiou to take' no un- wise step, he was ever looking eagerly in the direction toward which every instinct of his nature pointed. There is no mistaking the fae,t,af his intense earnestness of desire that the principles of the Declaration of Indepen dence should 'become facts in his country's history. And it cannot be doubted that in the great, crowning act of his life, the Emancipation Proclarhation,he recognized the fulfilment of the cherished dream and pifrpose of his lith. Step by step, has the Republican party car ried-forw" ard the banner of Universal Human Freedom; al; fell from the dead baud of the murdered Lincoln. Step by step, has the march been resisted and impeded by the old and bitter hatred of die party that calls itself " Demo cratic From beginning to end, the fines are drawn which show who have been for, and who have been against the Great Reform. At fast the work is ,done. Successive Republican Congresses haVe built up the fair fabric, course by course, upon the foundation which was laid broad and deep by the Master-hand of Abraham Lincoln, and which was cemented in own blood. And now comes young, butt. stalwart Nebraska, with her grateful remem brance of what the Fatherof , - Emancipation did to keep her skirts clean from the Stain of Slavery, and places the cap-stone upon the &rims edifice. The ratification of the Fifteenth Amend ment by the Legislatures of the several States ie only a to-affirmation of what the people at large declared when they. re-cleeted Ahruhain Lincoln in Ittbl. That was an endorsement of the Emancipation Fraction:it hal and of all its legitimate consequences. That ha so ie garded it, is evident from his first pnblie uttAtr aiXe early an the - OyAllowing his le-election, ~when he said .to ;. the .yennaylvaniants who . :serenaded him after the victory : It is no. Ipleasure to-me to triumph over any one; but 1 4,We - thanks to the Almighty for this e/Ment of the peophN resOlfition to stand by free government and the rights of humanity." /lITEMPEKANCE. An earnest effort is, now Leing made to pro cure a change hi the license laws at the bands of the Legislature. We can only say, as we , have done before, that no system can be worse than that width now exists. Wendell Phillips, in his recent lecture at the Academy of Music, urged earnestly upon his audience that; even setting 'aside all the soeial and moral evils re suiting from orink,we cannot aiford,,pslitical/y, to tolerateintemperance; that in a government like ours, whose strength lies with the people, sit is a political necessity that the people should be trustworthy—which an intemperate people cannot be ; that men, to be capable of self government, mast be sober. He pointed out the two elasses into which society divides it self : the 'Conservative and the progressive; both eenally honest In their opinions, but utterly 'divided. 'And between these, holding often the balance of power, those who have no opinion, but an object only, and behind them the mass offilind; ignorant 'and vicious who are bound together and forged into a weapon. And whenew - cornea this mass? From the rum-shops! We recently gave extracts from Dr. Elate's book, showing unmistakably that national and not merely individual degeneration is the re sult of inebriety. Not, of course, immediately, but, as time passes, the taint in the blood of those immediately affected spreads wider and wider. , So in Sweden the average stature of the nation has diminished, the average dura tion of, life has shortened, general tendency to sickness increased, even wholly new forms of disease have shown themselves; the innocent suffer with the guilty. All this has been the result of a relaxation of the laws tending to cheek the sale of 'intoxicating beverages. In our own eity;-the last few years have shown a most alarming increase of liquor shops. Temptation is offered to the weak in every block and at every corner, and all this is done, under the cover, real or pretended, of the law. Is it not time that something was done? We commend the subject earnestly to the attention of the Assembly. No better work can be effected than to• put some check to the spread of this tremendous evil. THE SALE OF CADETSHIPS. The investigation into the sale of cadetships at West Point and Annapolis has brought to light a very discreditable practice among mem bers of Congress, which will now be broken up, whether the examination results in any more serious and immediate consequences to the cadet-traders and brokers or not. While it has been known, for some, time past, that occa sional appointments had been made of cadets who were not residents either of the district or the State of the member appointing them, naturally suggesting the suspicion that the places had been bought, few if any persons bad an idea that this dishondrable practice had attained to illy such extent as begins to be ap parent from the investigations already made. The country,now demands that the Congres sional committee, having set its hand to this plough, shall not turn back. Neither fear nor favor must be permitted to deter the Committee from a full and impartial investigation, or from an open and honest report of the facts. "In vestigation" and" White-washing" have become so nearly, synonymous terms, that it, is very: rarely, indeed, that the country is fully en lightened upon such subjects as are referred to investigating committees. Some of the stories set afloat froth Washing ton,' implicating members in the sale of cadet ships, have _already been set at rest. In the case of Mr. Leonard Myers, his prompt denial of the charge was scarcely needed, in a com munity where that gentleman is so well known. And in the case 'of Mr. Sypher, the stateinen published by us on Saturday should satisfy al readers who may not know Mr. Sypher and his brother as well as we do, that the charge is un founded, if not wilfully malicious. One of the morning papers truly said a few days• ago : "Those :who may be proven guilty of this mercenary business should suffer all the igno miny which properly attaches to it, but we protest against the publication of base insinu ations and mean innuendos to gratify partisan heti ed or personal malignity. * * * It is mean and cowardly in a public journal to attt mpt to put an indignity upon an able 'rep resentative by making such acharge without any grounds upon which to base it. THE BIIILDING A few days ago the Commission to erect the public buildings upon Independence Square examined tie :bids for excavating and,bnilding . foundations, and considered them. Diflicul tleii,were thrown in the way of the proceed ings by one or two members, who were so . evidently actuated by a disposition to pre vent the work being done on the site in ques tion, that Mr. Gillingham poihtedly exposed the impropriety of men consenting to serve on a on:omission, to the direct and express object of which they were hostile. Finally, however, the bids judged to be Most • favorable were, accepted by a majority, which came within one vote of being unanimous, one member only having recorded his vote against them. The impression which we formed from reading the proposals made was that the bidS accepted by the Commission were very advan tageous, and this impression is confirmed by th 6 strong vote just above mentioned.. There is, therefore, a prospect that this iwork,will be done both cheaply and well. " . • Subsequently, at the meeting of Councils on Thursday last, Mr. 'Willits offered in Common Council a resolution appropriating $150,000 to the Building Commission, which resolution was referred to the Finance Committee. The Finance Committee has determined to re port the appropriations favorably, and ,we trust, the matter having proceeded thus far in so favorable a manner, that thriller obstacles will not be placed_ the way of an early commi , nennent of .construCtion. The opposition to the construction of these buildings is becoming more and more limited to a few in dividuals and the general public looks to see ing the ground broken this spring. It is reported that President Baez has deter mined to permit the people. of San Domingo t. Vote rpon the gnestion" of annexation Of that Wand tp the United Stales. If thiS policy is 'adopted and it is proved that a large ma jority 'of 'the people are fn favow of .13Fia's ,TIIE,DAII.X.EVENING BULLETIN NxIIIiAULLI MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1870. ,scheme, one, of the inost serious objections to ithe purchase will have been removed. The impression hi ibis • country has' • been that Ibis whole' business was designed. by Baez and supported by a few of his friends for selfish and mercenary purposes, and that the in habitants of the island were strongly opposed . to it. Report says, however, that the expres. sion of opinion in favor of 'the undertaking will be very decided, if a fair election is, held, ;and 11,,e action of-Baez will receive hearty en -dorsementt, When this 'is accomplished there will be just. one more thing to do before Congress ratifies the annexation tierity : to obtain the opinion of the majority of our citizens upon the subject. It is very de sirable indeed to haVe an expression of senti ment from the Dominicans, but as the Ameri 'can people will hive to pay the money for the 'island and assume its -debt, and in all proba bility expend large sums in the future for the preservation of law and order among this revo lutionary people, it ie entirely proper that they should obtain a hearing. We are sure that a majority of our intelligent citizens are opposed to spending a dollar for new territory, to as suming the debt of anew territory, or to the absorption of any entire community of strange people of another race into our body politic. It is not necessary to wail for a vote on these questions. The of the country express popular opinion clearly enough, and most of those which have any character or influence have pronounced against this scheme. We are glad to believe that it will not receive the sanction of the present Congress. The disposition seems to be to let the matter rest . for the present, despite the earnest appeals of the champions of an nexation. By the time the next Oongress assembles we hope to have such a strong pro test issued against ,it that the subject will be dropped forever. If manifest destiny is to give us the island, of course we must accept the offering ; but it will be better to hold on to our money and patiently await the time when manifest destiny is ready-to indulge in annexa tion without pecuniary compensation. New York has the gratification of having put her Democratic spite against universal liberty on record, to no purpose. She would, un dcubtedly, have been compelled to stand by her original ratification of the Fifteenth Amend ment, had her aid been necessary. As it is, she takes nothing by her factious motion, but the discredit of being left out in' the cold, in company with New Jersey, Delaware, and twci or three other small allies of Slavery.

They are only issued upon each section of the Road as as fast as the same is completed and in successful opera tion. Over two and a half millions of dollars have been expetded on the Road. Eighty-three miles are about completed and equipped, and already show large earn pigs ; and the remainder of the line is rapidly progress ing toward completion. The State of lows; through which this road runs, is one of the richest agricultural sections in America.. Its large population, extending with surprising rapidity, and its immense yield of grain. pork, wool and other ag ricultural products, create a pressing demand for the construction of this road, which affords the best possible guarantee for the bondholders, especially as the line runs through the wealthiest and moat thickly populated section of the State. The road also runs through the rich and growing State of Minnesota. Reference to the snap of - tho United States will show that it traverses the most enterprising and growing portion of the West, and forms ani of the great trunk lines in direct communication with New -York, Chicago and St. Louis, being to the latter city ninety miles nearer from Northern lowa and all por tions of the State of Minnesota than by any other road now built or projected; and also the nearest route from Central and Southern lowa.. The road Is opened for local traffic as rapidly as con.: ff truelted, and thus RECEIVES EARNINGS ON ITS COMPLETED SECTIONS G REATLY IN EXCESS OF THE AMOU:VT NEEDED TO PAY THE IN TEREST UPON ITS BONDS BEFORE THE ROAD IS FINISHED. The buyer of these Bonds is therefore guaranteed, by a great business already in exist. cure on the route of the road, as well as by now current earnings, and has not to risk any of the contingencies which gitrays attend the opening of roads in anew dna unsettled country.

Emery Bros., of Pioneer and &Thornburg, struck a new well upon their tract, near the latter place' ' on what was formerly the Walt Thompson tract, which, during yes terday, yielded oil at the rate of about two hundred barrels per day. Last evening it was " . reported as doing as well as when first struck, and has every indication of proving one of the finest wells in the country., The Mingard well, located on the United Petroleum Farms Association, Cottage Hill, near Oil City, and of which we made mention a day or two since, commenced pumping oil on Wednesday evening about 7 o'clock, and by 0 o'clock yesterday morning had yielded fifty-four barrels of oil. It is estimated as good for forty barrels per day, and the finding of this, the first large well struck upon this terri tory, will render leases in lively demand, be sides opening up a comparatively new field. The Devlin well lately struck upon the Dalzell farm, near .Petroleum Centre, is re ported as doing.ten barrels per day. The "Posy well," near Allemagoozleum City; is doing about fifteen barrels per day. Below Petroleum Centre, along Oil Creek, there are several old abandoned, wells being cleaned out preparatory to being pumped,and which, it is thought, may still be made to pro duce in paying quantlties. CONFLAGRATION AT NEWPORT,OIIIO. itotun~•iHlll Destroyed The Cincinnati Gazette of Saturday says: Yesterday afternoon, about 3 o'clock; a blasting furnace burst in the extensive rolling mill of Alexander SWift & Co., known as Swift's Iron and• Steel Workti, situated on the batiks of the Licking river, about three squares from its entrance into the Ohio, in Newport, and the molten iron ore contained in_.9y rolled 'out and spread over the works, eating lire to everything with which it came in contact. The alarm was instantly sounded, and in a short time the engines of Newport And Covington were myth() ground trying to arrest ,the progress of the flames. Their ef forts were 1 . 1 no avail, however, and in a cou ple of hours the extensive structure was mass of ruins. The foundry and blasting fur nace, however, were saved. The loss cannot be estimated correctly, but will probably bo in the neighborhood of $70,000.. There were twelve tons of melted ore in the furnace, and the men were just about tapping it when it broke out, catching a pile of coal lying near and communicating the flames to the lying of the building. ,Aiiati feature of this disaatrous fire is the fact that 4CO laboring men are thrown out of employment. The mill had been 'melioration tante 1857, and had never been on fire before. THIRD EDITION. By TkLEGELAP.I-1. CABLE NEWS.

The St. Louis Democrat of Saturday contains the following particulars of a disaster already mentioned in our telegraphic columns: The concussion of a most awful boiler ex plosion reverberated throughout the city at about hall-past one o'clock yesterday after noon. Residents for many blocks around the actual scene of the collapse were nearly stunned, and on rushing - out discovered the air filled with clouds of smoke and dust, over . and aroundthe site of the well-known " Union Car , Works and Railway Foundry," on De Rail) street and Lami street. Ou the south side of Laud street, next south of the south east corner lot, stood the railway foundry. The steam engine in this foundry worked also the machinery in the car works, by means of a massive shaft, passing through an excavation beneath Lami street. It was the boiler of this engine that had exploded, hurling the entire building into scattered ruins. The people on the streets and in the build ings in the immediate neighborhood were for. a time paralyzed with horror, and blinded or left almost in darkness by the vapor and grime, but when the first moments of surprise had passed they poured in crowds towards the scene of wreck. The police and firemen, and a few other citizens, lest no time in attempting a rescue of the victims that might be surviving beneath the debris. Four of the nnfortnnates, drcid. were taken out by them before the crowds gathered. Help was then more plentiful, and in a wonderfully short time the mass of timbers, iron, brick,u2ortar and rubbish was searched through—two other dead bodies were borne sorrowfully out, and the still living were extricated and removed. The six mangled corpses were carried across Laud street tithe car works, and deposited therein, laid out upon boards on the ground, present ing a spectacle most lamentable and sickening —heads crushed, faces contused and begrimed, and legs and arms broken, bloody, ghastly. and covered with coal dust. The most dread fully mangled body was that of the engineer, John Kergan. His, legs were broken in seve ral places, skull fractured, anti his whole body crushed in the most shocking manner, in the words of a spectator, "almost to a jelly." The wounded were removed, some who were' in a dangerous condition to the City Hospital, and others to their homes. Seven men were killed and eleven were seriously wounded. The demolished foundry was it one-story building, with a front of about 50 feet and a depth of 120, and was of brick and wood. In this foundry they made the iron work,wheels, &c., for cars. The building is a perfect wreck. Some parts of the structure were thrown a great distance—one piece of iron, weighing, perhaps, three hundred pounds, was hurled over the space of a hundred feet. Adjoining the south was Card's distillery,iu the brick wall of which a breach six feet in diameter was blown by the explosion. BAEZ'S POPULARITY. A correspondent of the Tribune writes A few days - since your correspondent took a ride into the interior with President Baez and his brother, - who is at the head of the army. At every farm-house men, women, and children poured out to greet him, and .gathering around shook hands and conversed with him as familiarly as if the President formed one of their immediate family. Did he dismount, the children would come and sit on his knees, while all the people addressed • the General by his Christian name. His army, under arms, consists of about 4,000 men, while some 6,000 or 7,000 more are enrolled as militia, ready to leave their homes at a moment's warning. I was preSent at a late review at A zua. a town near the frontier, where some 1,200 men ,passed by, and not one of the pri vatesoldiers did I observe wearing a pair of shoes, while many of their officers were in the same eondition. Their uniforms consisted of a dirty jean shirt and pants and a battered straw hat. They are armed mostly with old flint-lock muskets, but I noticed that a couple of companies had Springfield rifles, probably some of those that came down in the Albany. They appeared extremely en thusiastic, but were very poorly disciplined. This, however, makes little difference in a country where war . is equivalent to bush whacking. Tile President spent several days after the review in distributing calico dress patterns to all the women of the neighbor hood, and this, tairhaps, is one of the greatest means of his influence, for' it is said that " the Governor who succeeds in ruling the.women is sure of the obedience of the men."

The Reign of Yfoosaeret Continued— Sixty Solnvaistm Shot et Jaesnel..-Eze. cation of Gen. Lubin. PORT AU Pntxcit, Feb. G.—The Chambers will assemble shortly, and a President will be elected at the commencement of next month. Meanwhile the annihilation of Salnave's parti sans continues unabated. Many are shot daily, and others are in prison awaiting trial. JACASEL. Feb. 11.—Over sixty of the parti sans of Salnave have been brought from the interior and shot. There are over one hundred in prison, awaiting trial. General Vil Lubin, Salnave's tight hand man at Port au Prince, was shot on the public square, after having been promenaded through the streets on a donkey, exposed to the vilest insults from the populace. The feeling of re venge has no limit in this southern por tion of the country, which suffered most from the atrocities of Salnave. Executions take place wholesale. and some time will elapse be fore the thirst for blood and revenge will be satiated. It is common talk that the Haitian revolution will not finally triumph until Baez, Salnave's ally, is driven out of ban Domingo. All aid will be tendered to the Dominican re velutlonary leaders, Luperon and Cabral, to enable them to overthrow Baez. FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.

The New York Money Market. (From the Herald of to-day.] SUNDA Y. Feb. 70.—The features of, Wall street during the week have been the realization of the stock cliques and the decline in gold. The retrograde movement in the itold market is no part of the original plan of the majority of operators; who initiated a general bull cam• paign at the beginning of the year, as soon as it was pos itively evident that a period of easy money was at .hand. When they took holder stocks they also took hold of gold, and both were pushed with great vigor. Of the re sult in the stock market we have already had proof in the general advance of ten to twenty-tlye percent. in the leading active speculative favorites. Gold. however, was sot en responsive, and moved very slugglehly. It twice tonched the vicinity of IM after its original de clips, to 119%, hut beyond that point the cliques found it uphill work of a hard character, and they consequently abandoned the effort. The market has since been in the henna of the smaller speculators and of the brokers who live by the trilling tractionaltinctuationsin the premium. There have been intermediate movements of greater or lesser degree based on the Cuban matter and the action of Congress, but the larger operators have given their attention elsewhere. During the week which heti just closed they again visited the Gold Room, but this time with opposite tactics. n may seem curious that they did not originally begin "twar"znovement, but in the then uncertainty of the European mtrkets, and without data to suggest the extent of our imports in the opening spring business, they hesitated to do so, especially ass speculation on the "bear" side of gold is extrsmely dangerous and requires a thorough canvesting beforehand of the political and commercial situation. A foreign war, the death of Napoleon or many another contingency would " jump "the premium to the utter ruin of the " shorts." When, however, it was discovered that the prospect in Europe was as peaceful as could reasonably lie looked for ; that the aCe11021113.- ilea of capitellt as leading to a decrease in the interest rate on the Continent ; that our imports were beginning to decline under the demoralization of last September's panic (thie week they are •only about of per cent. of - these in WEI); thst the leading foreign bankers were - • pressing their bills on the market, and that our exports of cotton were far in edvanee of those of last year, their attention was directed to the Gold Room as tbe field for a" beer" comps.gn. That they have enlisted in the • work with all their capital and• enthusiasm, seems tivi ' dent from their unloading nil the stocks which they hail been carrying since New Year's. The succeed of the double movement bas so far been rather gratifYinff.llloreov eg the plan promises to afford the; cue for the sPeculatile opera tions of the spring and summer. When the cliques un load their stocks they have the means to" break "gold ; when gold la down it influences a decline in stocks ; then the c Deuce can buy their stocks cheaply ; their depress ing efforts taken away from gold again, up it goes , once more and sends stocks up again. The proeess is capable of repetition until one of thoSe accidents which so fre quently occur interposes to spoil its working. when the cliques will be driven to consultation upon a new plan of cempoign and a new system of tactics. The e truffelo between the rival operators in the gee ernment market has been of an interesting character, and transactions at the government board have been for the most part purely on speculative account, the out side investment demand 'being for the time euspended, abiding the result. Congress and the Cuban queStion, the national finthices, the Europe Al situation, and, in fact, all auxiliaries to the contest, have been employed on either side. Nor a day the battle would be with the " hulls." On the next the tire wonldturit against them. Despite all this energy, or rather by ri mien of so mush effort on either side, prices moved within an extreme of less than one per cent the advantages, if any, being with the "bulls," whose cause received the sudden support of neharp atiVURCe abroad in American securi ties, the five-twenties in London touching the remark able priceof rah. Thia diversion drove the" bears "to join the stock cliques lu,ef it did not suogest to them, the movement against gold;for governments are cordons in their movements,. being likely to fall with gold but to rise witleihe foreign denoted. The market on Satur day" left off "in such a situation that if anything oc curred to stop the dtiwuward tendency of gold 'and stonily the •Market governments would go up with balloon-like buoyancy on account of the strength of the foreign quotations.

Chandler offered a resolution tee nesting the President to report to the Senate ~any formation-in his possession in relation ,to the re-opening of the case of Mr. Fitz John Porter. lately in the military service of the United States. • Mr. Chandler related the facts which led to thee disgracing of Porter, and referred to, the ;demoralization of the 'country on the' retire , went of Geo. McClellan's army to Turkey Bend, the appointment of Gen. Pope to the ,command or the army in Virginia, and to the consultation had in' relation to the then state of all:lire, and the conclusions arrived at, by which Pope was expected to divert the at tention of the rebels from McClellan's front to theßhenandoah Valley, thereby enabling Mc- Clellan to extricate hie army from its perilous position. Pope's army was only 40,000etrong, and,Pope knew beforehand that he would be whipped in his advance down the valley, but the movement had to be made to save Mc- Clellan. With this little force he-managed to draw .away the Whole rebel army, and let Mc- Clellan out. PO'pe,withtbatlittle force, foug,ht for eleven days, Steeping the whole rebel host at bay, and- by thrit campaign saved his own and McClellan's armies. It was a most bril liant and well-managed campaign, and saved too us our Government and country. Mr. Chandler read from an official report of Pope's campaign to show that it required a month for McClellan to move his army up to Pope's relief, and showed that it was moved really in one-half of that time. He also read Pope's order to Porter to advance to Bristol Station, and spoke of the . fail ure of the latter to comply with it. It was the duty.of the General to mare t ti .on receipt Of orders; and that disobedience ran-; dered him liable to trial by court-martial, and to death if found guilty. He read Halleek's peremptory order to McClellan, to forward troops on the eve of the fight when Pope - was bard pressed, and 'showed by McClellan's responses that that officer was most derelict in obeying, and that ty reason of his and Gen. Porters' delays, Pope Mali overwhelmed at the second battle of Bull Run. On the day of that affair Porter lay idle with his corps in the vicinity of the light, and though ordered to advance and engage in the action, ho MVO • allowed hie men to pull a trigger. Mr. Chandler referred to the tribunal which tried Porter's case, and said that after- forty five days of. careful examination they were obliged to report him guilty of wilful violation of orders at atime of immluent peril. A fairer tribunal never sat in judgment upon the acts of any officer, and their verdict was a unani mous one. The only reason why the :death penalty was not fixed upon in this case was that the court-martial - feared that the - great and good President Lincoln would have par doned Porter had het been sentenced to death. Mr. Chandler said that during the trial Porter admitted that he, was not true to Pope, and said that if he had been would have saved the lives of threelaundred thousand men and the expenditure of two thousand millions of dollars of the public money. The resolution was passed. , • '• Mr. Howard introduced a bill to establieh a Territorial Government for Alaska, which was referred and ordered to be printed. .• . Mr. Wilson said be knew Gen. Pope and many of the men under- him. His army was one of the best in the field. Hesvaa of great service tothe country; and WWI engaged in many hard-fought battles. He' did'net think, hoWever, that the; court-martial which tried General Porter could .have brought that officer in guilty of a wrong of sufficient mag nitude to warrant a disgraceful death. Par ter'a behavior previous to these charges was very brilliant, and eminently patriotic and valuable. In view of all this he thought it only fair that the proceedings should be re viewed, and if any wrong had been done 'to Gen. Porter it should be promptly righted. Mr. Wilson reported back favorably the bill for the sale of a portion of the Fort Ridgely Military Reservation. .
