The postal note, which has been in use for some Months, has suffered much criticism as to the paper used and the quality of the work and the de- sign. By some of the officers of the government it has been named the “mustard plaster.” It 1s claimed that when Issued for a triting amount tt may be easily ralsed by the insertion of plugs of paper in the punched holes and the punching out of larger numbers, for the paper may be notched without difficulty. At the Bureau of Engraving and Printing of the ‘Treasury Mr. George W. Cast- jear, the chief engraver, has recently designed a postal note, which the chlet of the bureau (Capt. T. N. Burrill) ‘has submitted to the Postmaster Ge: eral. It 1s claimed that it isan improvement over the note at present used, and is so desicned as to effectually prevent raising, The note, as de- signed by Mr. Castlear, 1s attached to a'coupon, on the left of wilich 1s tha umber and the amount for which issued.

THE FITZ JOHN PORTER DEBATE. SENATE NOT I SESSION. DOINGS IN THE COMMITTEE ROOMS The House, MR. CUTCHEON OPPOSES THE FITZ JOHN PORTER BILI. The House met to-day for debate only on the Fitz John Porter bill, and having gone Into commit- tee of the whole, the floor was accorded to Mr. Cutcheon, of Michigan, a member of the minority ofthe committee on military affairs. It was, he sald, embarrassing for him to stand here in the face of the opinions of military men so distinguished as the gentlemen from California and New York, (Gens. Rosecrans and Slocum) to differ from them, | in regard toa military matter; but his embarrass ment disappeared when he remembered that the principal question in this case was not a inatter of inllitary strategy, but of the sifting of facts and laws. "The principal involved in the bill was an- tagonistle to the very spirit of the Constitution our | and institutions. To the judiclal branch of the gov- ernment alone belonged the power to determine law and fact; but It was now pt spe that the legisla- | tive branch should usurp judicial functions and sit 1n review and judgment on the finding of the high- est military court which could be convened. It was a ‘proposition which embodied revolu- tion. Comparing the court which convicted Porter and the West Point board of re- view, he declared that the former was a legal court which had given Porter a fair and free trial, while the latter wi 3 a board with no legal status fo no law. If its members took tra judicial oath. Ther find ing was an extra judicial tinding. Itwas simply Ue advice of the Amable gentlemen to the Presi- dent, which he did not see it to adopt. To place the judgment of the board against the finding of the court, was to place an opinion which bound no one against a decision which bound all the world. GEN. GRANT AND FITZ JOHN PORTER. Referring to General Grant's letter, he asserted that noone could go farther than himselfin admira- tion for that great soldier; but he could not forget that for eight long years General Grant sat in the presidential chair, and Fitz John Porter stood knocking, in season and out of season, at the doors’ of the White House asking Grant to permit a new hearing. He could not forget that Grant, sald, in 1869 and 1874, that he had examined the papers submitted tO him, that he was not pre- pared to grant the review asked. But in ISS1, when both houses of the American Congress were in the hands of the opposition, and when a | bill was pending berore Congress to reappoint Gen. Grant generel of the army and place him on the re- tired list, there came a burst of sunlight as from Heaven, like the light which struck down Paul at Dam; is. Allat once light broke on his mind, and he found that for eighteen years he had been dolng Fitz John Porter Injustice.” (Applause on the republican side.) Therefore, tie opinion of Gen. Grant could not have the influence on him which tt otherwise would have. Mr. Cuteheon said th t Porter's action could only be explained by his hatred of General Pope. When his country cried “Fitz Jonn Porter, this way,” he thought it was the voice of Pope and not of his country, and refused to go, If there ever was a time wien a man's country called for him when the destiny of the republle hung trembling in the bal- jance “it was the 27th of August, 1802 If ever there was a tine when’ a mill- tary leader lad a need to feel the pulses of Ms subordinate oficers beat tn unison it was the 2th of August, 1862, when Porter diso- beyed lls orders. were assigned for DMS not doing so: That) the night was dark and the | road bad. Porter could not march that night, but Stonewall Jackson marched with an entire corps. e marched that night; but this brillant leader the Union army could not march because, for- sooth, It was dark. He went on to describe the battle of the 29th of August,and pictured Porterlying under the treesat Bethel church, without making an attempt to ald his comrades-tn-arms because there was a little pine brush in the way. The Bethle- hemle song seemed to have fallen upon Porter's | corps that day—“Peace on earth” and good will to the other side, During the battle of August 29th where was Porter? Reclining under a tree two and a half miles from the front. " Where was the finest corps in the ariny? Gone into camp for the night. Cowardice was no excuse, for Porter had shown that _he was a brave man; ignorance was no exeuse, for he was a trained soldier. He had nob the excuse of not knowing the will of his commander, for the order was explicit. Already clemency had been exercised towards Fitz Jolin Porter. “His disabilities had been removed, and he stood d free American citizen. Mercy to him was cruelty to thousands, A century ‘ago. Admiral Bayng, of the Engiish navy, had disobeyed an order | to take hts ship Tnto action, He was tried, con- vieted and shot to death for that disobedience, and from that day to this no English officer had’ ever refused to take his ship Into action when ordered by a superler.

AN OLD CLAIM DISPOSED OF. ‘The House committee on clalms yesterday passed upon a claim witch has been coming before Con- gress for a good many years. In 1853 the steamer Independence, owned by Cornelius Vanderbilt, was wrecked In the bay of Magdalina, Lower ifornta, and the passengers and crew Were cast adrift on the iskind of Marguerita. ‘The steamer Meteor {ook ‘thet off and supplied them with provision clothing, medical attention, ete., and carried them to San Franc ‘or thls service the captain of the Meteor claimed $25,000 from the United States rhment. ‘The committee agreed to report. the im adversely, holding that 1f there was any TUILY In It, It lays against the estate of Cornelius Vanderbilt and not against the government. ‘The comsnittee also ordered a favorable report upon a Dill to release the securities of the late | Collector Hollins, of San Francisco. In 1869 Mr. | Rollins died, and’the Secretary of the Treasury ap- | polnted a collector ad interim against the protest | of the securities, During the Incumbency of this eniporary appointee a defateation of $22,000 oc- curred, and the committee decided that the secur iues on Rollins’ bond were not Hable. MRS. GAINES’ CLAIM. ‘The House committee on private land claims yes- terday unanimously agreed to report favorably the bill of Representative Robinson, of New York, for the rellef of Myra Clark Gaines. The bill provides for the issue of patents to Mrs. Gaines for 38,457 acres of land on account of graats made by Spain toJohn Lynd and Thomas Urquhart, from whom the claimant received tiue to such lands. It ts pro- Vided that no mineral land shall be included in the grant. A NEW PRINTING CLERK. Secretary McCook, of the Senate, to-day appointed Mr. Joseph W.

"IN FAVOR OF BLACKBURN. It 1s very clear that the sympathy of members of the House is with Mr. Blackburn in his contest for the Kentucky senatorship. On both the demo- cratic and republican sides a Stax reporter to-day frequenty heard the exclamation, “I do hope Joe will get it.” HOUSE APPOINTMENTS. R. J. Penn was to-day appointed assistant tn the folding room of the House, and Archibald McGinnis assistant clerk to the committee on invalid pea- sions, PACIFIC RAILROADS COMMITTEE. Messrs. Throckmorton, Crisp and Hanback, of the House committee on Pacific railroads, to-day dis- cussed bills compelling raflroad companies to pay for the cost of surveying and selecting certain lands ted by Congress to. ald in their construction. the sub-committee decided to give all parttes inter- ested a hearing on Monday. Until the companies pay Jor the cost of surveying and selecting the lands, taxes cannot be collected by the states. It 1s probable that a bill compelling all land-grant railroad compantes to pay these costs be reported from the committee at an early day. ‘THE PACIFIC RAILROADS. ‘The sub-committee on Pacific railroads decided to-day to report to the whole committee on Mon- day the Dill to compel the railroad companies to ay for the surveys in selecting sites in certain land grants.

THB SENATE DECLINES TO RATIFY IT AT PRESENT. In accordance with the agreement of Friday, Vote on the Mexican treaty was reached yesterday afternoon at 4p.m., and resulted 1n the rejection of it The original vote was 39 for to 20 against, and then Mr. Morgan changed from aye to no, in order that he might move a reconsideration, leaving It stand 38 to 21, One more vote on the affirmative side would have carried the treaty through. By a Majority vote a motion to extend the time for ratt- fication was carried, but it 1s not regarded as of | any binding force, as tt requires the concurrence of the Mexican government t9 make sach an arrang ment. ‘The Senate adjourned until Mon cutting off any chance of reconsideration, a3 the period for consideration of the Ueaty expires W- morrow. ‘The vote in detail un the treaty ts belfeved to be as follows: Yeas—Messrs.

Aldrich, Brown, Butler, Call, Gibson, Hale, Hailey, Jonus, Jones of Fl: Mahon rill, ¥ Platt, Riddieberger, V Vance and Van Wye The failure of the S enate to ratify ithe Mexican treaty has afforded general satisfaction in the House. The principle objection, however, arises from punctiliousness, the House feeling that the manner in which the treaty affects the tariff ts an encroachment upon the prerogatives of the repre- sentative body. “In the ‘Senate, however, the fall. ure to ratify the treaty 15 looked upon by many Senators as a calamity. Several Senators, 1n speal Ang on the subject to-day, sald that the mnany ad- vantages that would be lost by the rejection of the treaty would be felt by the whole counury, and ot Senator sald that our trade would be put bac! twenty years. WHY SOME SENATORS VOTED AGAINST IT. A member of Congress sald to a Stax reporter to- day: “There were some votes, several of them at least, cast against the Mexican treaty in the Senate | for this reason: You see Grant and Romero were Partners in Mexico, and they obtained some large concessions from that government in relation to | railroad and steamboat lines. Now Grant 1s the | United States commisstoner and Romero the Mext- | can commissioner, and both of them were exceed- ingly anxious to have une treaty ratified. It wa Suspected—and really I can’t say 1t was more than @ Suspicion—that these two men, partners in busi- hess, had big private interests in that treaty; that it would afd them in developing the monopolies they want, andas no real cool could be discovered in the treaty, nothing patent enough to outweigh thls Suspicion, Why several Senators, whom I know of, | concluded that the safest plan would be to vote against 1.” THE TREATY TO BE REVIEWED. The friends of the Mexican treaty assert that ft 4s not dead, and that the clause lmiting the time for its ratification will not stand in the way of its reconsideration. In short, that difticulty, 1t 1s sald, has already been provided for by an understanding with the Mexican authorities, and a ratification of the treaty, even after the expiration of the time provided for it, will be accepted by the Mextcans. Several Senators wno voted against ratification had not made up their minds to do so until Just be- fore the vote was taken. Since it requires only a change of one vote to ratify the treaty, tts friends are very hopeful of victory at last. “Action upon Senator Morgan's motion to reconsider the treaty lay be delayed for some days. za ssa The Kentucky Senatorship. A REPORT INDICATING THAT MR. BLACKBURN WILL BE ELECTED MONDAY. It 1s understood that at the House to-day one of the Kentucky members received a telegram stating that when the balloting for the Kentucky Senator closed last night the Sweeney men held a meeting and decided almost unanimously to vote for Black- | burn on the first ballot on Monday. This would give him the majority, and his election 1s looked upon as practically settled.

PROBABLE CONSERVATIVE ACTION OF THE COMMITTEE ON COMMERCE—REPRESENTATIVE DUNN OPPOSED TO ANY HASTY ACT OF RETALIATIO! Representative Dunn, of Arkansas, thinks Con- gress should proceed very deliberately and care- fully in the matter of authorizing retaliatory meas- ures against Kyance and Germany because of their exclusion of American pork. He says that the rush- ing through of a bill directing the executive depart- ment to retallate by the excluston from thiscountry of products of France and Germany would not only be indecorous, but it might complicate our relations with forelgn nations. ‘The State department is now having coptes of all correspondence and reports re- Jating to the subject made for transmission to Con- gress, and Gen. Dunn maintains that it will be lime énough to enact retaliatory legislation when 1t 4s discovered that there 1s no remedy under ex- isting treaties, He thinks that the first step in thls direction should be the establishment of a thorough system of governmental 1 jon, not only to apply to exports, but to Include also ‘pro- ducts consumed at home! ‘This would remove the pretext upon Which our products are nowexcluded yw other nations, and would tend to thpreserva- Uon of public health at home.

REPRESENTATIVE CONNOLLY TO ASK FOR AN IN- VESTIGATION—ALLEGED IRREGULARITIES IN MAK- ING THE PURCHASE. Representative Connolly, of Pennsylvania, 1n- tends to offer a resolution in the House asking for | an investigation into the action of the Treasury department In selecting a site for the post office at Scranton, Pa, It isclalmed that there were some gross Irregularities connected with the matter, which require an explanation on the part of the supervising architect of the Treasury. The Forty- seventh Congress passed a bill providing for the erection of a post office at Scranton, the amount to be expended for the purpose not to exceed $75,000, and a subsequent bill appropriated $37,500. Com- missioners were appolnted who visited Scranton, and reported to the Treasury. 1n favor of a plece of land alleged to be located in a swamp outside of the business portion of the elty, for which they ad- vised the payinent of $85,000. Upon learning of this Mr, Connolly says he telegraphed to the Secretary of the Treasury to delay action in the matter, and stated that he would forward objections in writing. Mr. Connolly says he recelved an answer the same day, signed Chas. J. Folger, advising him that the aciton of the department wastinal. He then wrote a letter to the Secretary, stating his objection, and stating that the land Was not worth more than $10,000, and that at least nine-tenths of the citizens Were opposed to the selection. He says that he re- ceived “no answer to this letter, but afterwards learned that the site was not taken until about two or three weeks after he had been informed, over the Signature of Chas. J. Folger, that the “action of the department was final About two weeks ago Mr.Connolly and Mr.Storm, ‘Mr. Connolly says, had an interview with Judge Folger on the matter, during which Judge Folger 1s reported as saying that he did not think that the tile of the site selected had passed, and that if the matter had been closed ithad been in hy absence and without his knowledge. Afterwards, Mr. Connolly says,they called at Supervising Archi tect Bell’s office and were informed that the mone} had been paid for the and that the wor would commence on the in two or three weeks. It was then explained by Mr. Bell that the reason why Mr.Comnolly had not been answered Was Unat nis letter had been lost, but wile they Were talking ex-Supervising Arc! who ha been looking over the brought the letter in from the file.
