WASHINGTON CITY: THURSDAY............-MARCH 22, 1566. _ fa S7 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. | SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE. GBAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. THE CASE OF MB. BROOKS. The Committee on Elections of the House yesterday agreed to oust the Hon. Jas. Brooks, a scr of the Administration, and to give the seatto William E. Dodge, the contestant. ‘The district is conservative by 6,000 majority, and Mr. Brooks could be re-elected by that vote if he desires a re-election. This action cf the Committe», in partizan one_ sidedness surpasses the most notorious cases | of English Parliamentary-committee partizan favoritism. Mr. Brooks’ brief makes a re- markable exhibit of the manner in which the campaign was conducted by his wealthy op- ponent, with items as to how a bogus Tammany Hall candidate was hired to ron against Mr. Brooks, to divide conservative vote. Accompanying this ex- hibit is ® significant extract from the Anti- Bribery law of New York. The farther de- velopments, when the case shall come up in | the House for debate, promise to be exceeding- ly creamy, as illustrative of the manner in | which New York “Elections” are managed by those who can afford to pay the piper. Mr. Breoks has proved himself one of the ablest and most accomplished representatives New York has ever sent here, and the Em- Pire State and city can ill afford to spare him.

The following named men were tried before & court martial in this city on the charges specified : Private Henry Hart, company H, 4th regi- Ment U.S. artillery, charged with desertion, found guilty, and sentenced to forfeit to the United States all pay and allowances now due, to make good the time lost by desertion, and to be confined at bard labor at Fort Whipple, Va, for one year. Privaie John West, same company and reg- iment, charged with sleeping on his post, found guilty, and sentenced to be confined at hard dabor at Fort Whipple, Va., for four months. PUBLIC PBINTING. ‘a Mr. Laflin’s practical remarks in the House on the increasing expenditures for Public printing, noticed in our second edition yester- day, in which he claimed that the resolution reported by him for printing 15,00 copies of the agricultural ‘tof the Patent Oilice re- port for 1865 would onty save the Government $125,700, had their weight, and the resolution, amended so as to allow 5,000 copies to the Com- missioner of Patents and 10,000 copies to the House for distribution, passed. PROPERTY BESTORED. Major General Howard yesterday issued an order restoring to Mr. A. R. Mott, of Leesburg, London county, Va., the property belonging to bim, which has been in possession of the Freed- men’s Bureau, Mr. Mott haying beem pardoned by the President. RAtLRoaD COMMUNICATION AMONG THE Sevewat STATES.—The very important bill to facilitate commercial, postal, and military communication among the several States, was amended in the House yesterday, so as to allow Tailroads in one State “to eonnect with roads of other States, so as te form continuous lines” for the transportation of passengers and freight “to the place of destination,” and passed. During the debate on the measure, Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, said the passage of this bill would violate the plighted faith of that State, and deprive it of $200,000 per annum, in State taxation. Tae KEANs.—One of the finest dramatic representations given in this city for some years past was Kean’s personation of “Lonis XI," lastevening. He looked and acted the popular idea of that singularly constituted character, a compound of craft and cruelty, shrewdness and superstition, strength and ‘weakness, to perfection, and the dying scene ‘was most impressive. We have never seen a more rapt and attentive audience. Mrs. Kean as “Martha,” was very good, and Mr. Uathcart presented the character of the impetuous “De Nemous™ admirably. This evening, “Hamlet.” pean < unease eae CorrtrvEp.—The community will be glad to see that Messrs. Peter F. Bacon and Charles S. English were confirmed yesterday by the “Senate as Commissioners of Police. These gentlemen have first-class qualifications for the efficient performance of the duties devoly- ing upon them. The Senate also confirmed the reappoint- ment of that experienced aud much-respected magistrate, Wm. Thom: S7 Hudson Taylor, Peansy!yania avenue, and Jos. Shillington, Odeon Building, favor us with early copies of Harper's Magazine for April. Cr REPORT OF THE ComissioxER oP AGrI- CULTURE.—Hon. Isaac Newton, Commissioner of Agriculturefin his Teport for the month of February, speaks approvingly of the action of Congress in forbidding the im; OTtauol cattle, and all parts of cattle, as ides, = &c., in order to protect the country against the introduction of the cattle plague: ‘yet, he says, no legislation, either State or national, has been bad to meet the emergency arising from its in- troduction, should it nnfortunately be im- ported. The statistical tables of this report are interesting. They embrace the exhibit that this department makes this year, of the amount, acreage, the prices, and the value of the prin- cipal crops. Whilst the bushels of grain raised in 1965 baye exceeded those of 1-64 by 215,541.- 0:3, their value is $359,301.554 less. The de. 0 crop &. iL.

THE DISTRICT IN CONGRESS. Mr. Wade to-day introduced in the Senate a bill “to exempt property in the District of Col- umbia from execution and for other purposes.” It provides that the following property, being of the head of a family or house-holder, shall be exempt from distraint, attachment, levy, and sale, on execution or decree of any Court in the District ot Columbia: Provided, however, this exemption shall not interfere with the fore- closure of any mortgage or deed of trust execu- ted before the passage of this act—to wit:—All wearing apparel belonging to all persons and to all heads of families being house-holders; all beds, bedding, household furniture,stoves,cook- ing utensils, &c.. not exceeding three hundred dollars in value; provisions, tor three months support, whether provided or growing: fuel for three months; mechanic's tools and implements of the debtors trade or business amounting to $200 in value, with $200 worth of stock for carrying on the business of the debtor or his family; the library and implements of a pro- fessional man or artist to the value of $300; one horse, mule or yoke of oxen, one cart, wagon or dray, and harness for such team, farming utensils. with food for such team for three months, and if the debtor bea farmer, any other farming tools of the value of $100: ‘all family pictures, and all the family library; one cow, one swine, six sheep. And no deed of trust, bill of sale or mortgage upon any of said ex- empted articles shall be binding or valid unless signed by the wife of the debtor if he be married and living with his wife; and these exemptions shall be valid when the said property is in transitu the same as if the property were at rest: Provided, however, That no property named or exempted in this act shall be ex- emptied from attachment or execution for any debt due for the wages of servants, common laborers or clerks, except the wearing apparel, beds and bedding and provisions for the debtor and tamily. Referred to the District Commit- tee. Mr. Howe, from the Senate Library Com mittee, reported a bill providing for the tran: fer of the custody of the Library of the Smith- sonian Institution to the Library of Congress. 1t provides for the temoyal of the Smithsonian Library to the new fire proof extension of the Library of Congress; the Smithsonian Institu- tion to have the use thereof in like manner as it is now used, and the public to have access to it for purposes of consultation on every ordi- nary week day, except during one month of each year, when it may be closed for renoya- tion. The bill authorizes the appointment of two additional assistants to the Librarian of Congress, at salaries of $800 and $1,000 respec- tively. Mr. Wade, to-day, presented a -‘petition of citizens of the United States, praying an ap- propriation for the establishment of an Indus- trial Normal school, on a farm and in work- shops in the District of Columbia.” The peti- tion, which is signed by Jos. L. Smith and others, asks an appropriation of one hundred or one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, to estblish such school, to train teachers for the public schools of the country, with model Eons for the teachers, a model propagating house, garden, orchard, and tarm, in the rural part of the District of Columbia. The petition was referred to the District Committee. TO BE MUSTBRED OrT.

FREEDMEN’S INTELLIGENCE OFFICE. The report of the transactions of the Freed- men’s Intelligence offices for the three daysend- ing on the 20th inst., is somewhat interesting, when compared with previous reports. It shows conclusively that these offices haye been of great benefit, both to the freed people and the community at large.
