Special Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, TIF; ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL, ‘WasnmvatoN, Feb. 3,—The dobato on the Army Appropriation bill to-day presented somo features of interest, In closing the goneral do- bate, Wheeler, of Now York, who hind charge of tho bill, devoted himself almost entirely to Joo ITawley, of Conneeticut, and exhibited powers of sarcasm with which ho has novor before been credited. The Houso wore greatly amused at tho attack, during tho grentor part of which | Irawloy sat impassive, busily engaged iu writing. A GENUINE SENSATION was cronted when the loyal Wheoler doclared that thoro are a large number of soldiors on duty in and about tho residences of high ofiiciuls in Washington in menial employments, ‘I'hore was a waking up of tho slcopy fellows all over the liouso, and they stared in amazoment to hear such o charge from such o source, but when Ward, of Illinols, asked speeifications of tho surprising chargo, Wheoler did whut it is common for Congressmen to do, evaded the reaponsibility, aud declared that Ward could find out for himsolf,ns ho (Whecler). bad done. When o momber of Cougress has facts such ay theso, which point to nbuses on the part of our oflicials, ho Lo no right to keep thom. 1t is his daty to oxpose the abuses that thoy may bo righted. -But thero I8 an influonco of some sort that hinders Congressmen from doing their wholo duty under such circumstances, ‘They wait timidly till somo nowspapor-mnn raises a howl about tho enrs of the party concorned ; theu, ten chances to one, ho growls about a reckloss, wicked, vicious press, and, at tho beck of his party leader, supports that which ho kuows to be wrong.
