coTry AND DISTRICT. THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE. The Railvead Question Talked Over at Last Night's Meeting. IF 1S DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE SUDCOMMITTER WITH ENLARGED POWKAS—HEMBERS IN FAVOR OF ORTTING THE MATTER BEFORR CONGRESS IN SOME FORM—THE RIGHT OF APPEAL ‘The Citizens’ Committee of One Hundred gave Up the greater part of its session last evening to a discussion of the railroad question—not the merits Of the question, but the course that the committee had better pursue now. There were between Aity ‘and sixty members present, including a number jelegates elected recently to take the place of withdrawing members. President Fe dail was absent, so the Vice-president, Mr. W. Dodge, occupied the chair at the opening, but when the railroad question came up gave it up to Mr. Noble D. Larner. = THR RIGHT OF APPEAL A fesolntion offered by Mr. Arnold at the last meeting expressing disapproval of the bill now nding which proposes “to abolish (except in a few spectiled instances) the appeilate Jurisdietion of the Supreme Cour: of the United States in cases ortyinat tug im the Supreme the District of a misunder- ad never beeu referred to 4 upon, and some mexa- ng upon the matter with ered bY a committee. It Columbia® was taken standing the resoint & committee bers were opposed t Out having it first e: Was urged, though, t: objec so tnerease thé amount in- ‘volved In a suit to make ct to. an appeal to the United States Supreme Court as to cut off very largely the right of appeal. Owing to what he considered defects In the system of the District courts, whereby a different set of Judges might the Court in General Term every yeai ft that instead of being appeal they should have them enlarged ithe Bar Association had passed a similar ition upanimousl; ject Of the bill seemed to rot the United States The resolutton was adopted. ‘The report made some time . Faiiroad committee favoring the Dill to extend the Toute of the Washington and Georgetown Rail- road, and to amead {ts carter so as to permit the use of electric or cable motors, was called up by Mr. Weiler and adopted. THE RAILKOAD REFORT. It Was expected that the report of the steam Tatiroad committee, made at the last meeting, pro- oaing a Dili to de Introduced in Congress to estab- fis routes and depots for tue rail would come Up for discussion. ‘Mr, Chureb, chairman of the steam raflroad ex- ecutive committee, stated that by the withdrawal of meters he found that his committee was left ‘with omiy three members—not aquorum. There. | fore he had not had the report printed, and the committee had not made a report, as instructed, on the Farwell railroad bill. A mouon by Mr. J. Ormond Wilson, author- izing the president to fill the six vacancies in the Failfoad committee, Was adopted. TO GRANT THR COMMITTER DISCRETION. Mr. Wilson then offered a resolution, the debate on which took up the remainder of the meeting. i “That the executive committee on steam Tallroads be, and they are hereby, author- ized to exercise their discretion in recommending wo legislation affecting steam railroads in the ‘of Columbia; provided, that they | shall report their action in the premises at each meeting of the Comunittee of One Hundred, and | Shall be subject to any instructions which ‘they | ay receive from said commiitee form time to ‘tne hereafter.” ‘Mr. Wilson Said that at the beginning they had raliroad committee made up of tueir best men, ‘the men most iaimillar wit and Most interested in the question, They had worked diligently, and Produced a report. Referring to the diff ‘Opinion on the fatiroad question, li could get no bods, no mine inen Who couid ag im every particular as to the routes railroads should take. The reason was that there was room for a GiTerence of opinio yee of One Hun- dred, however, mn to ther views, He thought the best thing tat could be done was fll this commultiee of ‘bine members and confer Upon them the power he proposed tor the rematin- Ger Of the session. NOT OF THR SAME OPINION. Mr. S.C. Clarke also reviewed the action of the railroad committee, but in a different view from Mr. Wilson. He said that the matter was not ably resented tothe Senate by the commitiee, and eriticised the committee severely for dilatoriness, and for, as he said, Violating every instruction given them. He was opposed to Such committee. They should na ison said this would be substantially a new committee. Mr. Herrell was opposed to giving any select com- mittse the power of bringing a railroad into the | eiy by any route. Wile he Deileved that the meters of the committee were honorable gentle Wen, he knew that the railroads controlied the Senate and House of Representatives, and why should they not control wen of this Commit tee of One Hundred. He believed there were as aie and the Louse as there ° Hundred, Mr. Weller said he was in favor of the resolu- ton, as it granted a discretion, with a string at- tacted to it, with waieh 1t could be pulled back at any ume. MR DOVER URGES ACTION OF SOME KIND. Mr. Dodge said it was important to do some- thing to get this matter before Congress; to pre- owe bili so as to get the matier cousidered. je thought there Was botuing in which this com- mittee had made itseif so ridiculous asin stand- ing idie all this Ume without presenting some proposition to Congress. All they could do was 10 Present their pian and reasons to Congress; then ‘the railroads and Congress would settie the mat- ter. They could not ekpect to do much if they Waited until all had agreed upon every feature of the bu. The great point they sought was to get the railroads of the streets He was perfectly willing to take the bil presented at the last meet ing, tO change It, ix need be, so as to make the Belumore and Ouio Railroad go around. It was of the utmost importance to get tuls matter before (Congress promptly, and get sometuing doue, Messrs. Dyer, Currides, and others urged the ‘need of some action. ‘TO EFFECT SOME ARRANGEMENT. Mr. Mullett thought that the discussion before ‘he Senate commitiev showed that all the citizens’ committee could do was to effect some arrange- ment between the conflicting interests. He favored the resolution of Mr. Wilsou, and thought they had made a wistake before in scuding a com- Initiee to Cougress With its bands tied, aif. Jones said the Dill reported at the last meet- tug did not suit him altogether. It did not, as a Measure for the relief of Northeast Washington, | strike hit favorably; but he was ready to accept that bil now, as Le saw nothing better in the future. Mr. E B. Stocking, a new member, made a speech in favor of action. He said that if thiogs | Went on as they were it Wouid noi be long before | the friends of the victims of tifese roads will be so many that the United States will have to call out Ms troops to keep the rails down. Cas. Alien Was Opposed to giving acom- mittee the plex proposed in this resolu- om, He said South Washing ‘tn aid not pro eve East Washington by having (be whole infernal thing dumped upon South Wasuington. Le moved as a substitate for Wilson's motion that the committee be dis- ged and a new one appotuted. ‘Tis was ruied | Out Of order, as the chair bad already been in- structed to fill the comiittee. pr. Allen then moved to lay Mr. W $ Fesolution upon the | tabie, Dut Bis motion was lost. Mr. Wilsou’s reso- luuob was thea adopted and the committee ad- jeurned. a —_—_.

VOORHEES THE PARTICIPANTS — ‘THE LATTER USES TUR EPITHETS “LIAR,” “SCOUN- DEEL,” AND “DIRTY DOG.” ‘The set speech of Senacor Ingalls yesterday did ‘Rot come up to public expectation in the matter of bitter personalities, After disposing of the Han- coek-MeCiellan phase of the controversy, as re- ported in yesterday's Stan, and rererring to some of Senator Voorhees’ alleged utterances tn criticism of President Lincoin from the point of view of a sytmpathizer with the South, Mr, Ingalls discussea ‘the charges of fraud in the presidential election of 1876, the Electoral Commission, the teachings of the recent Louisiana election, and the importance of the coming presidential election. The latter part of the speech was tamer than the assembied audience seemed to have anticipated, but those Who thirsted for excitement had their fill Later. ‘YOORMEES DENIER, Senator Voorhees took the floor soon after Mr. Ingalls sat down. He compared the great pub- eity and preparation made of and for Ingalls’ speech and the result with the mountain in labor and bringing forth a mouse. He also compared Mr. Ingails with a peacock, and said the Senator from Kansas had read to the Senate the old, stale, putrid, roten slanders of years gone by, on’ which he (Vourhees) had trampied in forty political cam- paigns. It had seemed to him like the voices of Spavined, broken-winded, hackneyed poittical cam- paign liars of Ube last twenty-five years. That he ever uttered one word against Union soldiers or talked of their having coliars around their necks Was 90 base a lalsehood, 30 Infamous, that the black Walis of perdition could not reduplicate it, And he said to the Senator from Kansas (without meaning, perhaps, the full extent of what bis words conveyed) that it was notin his power to fish up from the sewers of infamy the old cam- Paign lies and make them respectable in the Senate of the United States; but it was onan for him, by a short step, to put himself on an equality’ with them, He’ admired the Senator's brtiliancy and his scholastic habits, but he had been born with “inaccuracy” marked on him, He did not state things correctly, and could not do sa, Mr. Voorhees thea belittied Mr. Ingalls’ war record, and thanked God that no legisiative com- Jee had ever followed him to Washington to ‘stion his title to a seat in the Senate; that he had never been “whitewashed” as Ingalls had been. MR. INGALLS’ COMPARISON OF WAR RECORDS. As soon as Mr. Voorhees resumed his seat Sena- tor Ingalls again took the floor and it soon became apparent that ue had armed himself for a compari- son of war records with Senator Voorhees. He caarged that Senator Voorhees had been from the outset a determined, outspoken, aggressive and malignant enemy of the Union cause. Mr. Voorhees interposed to pronounce that a “de liberately false accusation.” Continuing, Mr. Ingalls ‘sald the Senator trom Indiana was the first to congratulate him when be escaped from the conspiracy formed to attack his and now that Senator spoke of it as white- Hie (Iugalis) bad referred only to Mr. PubUe Utterances—utterances he had not denied. pall, Voorhees exclaimed that he had denied enn. ‘Mr, Ingalls retorted that the Senator conla not deny the reports and documents he had read. “The Senator's insinuation,” retorted Mr. Voor. hees, “chat FWasever a member of a political secret soclety—the Knights of the Golden Circle— 18 so base and infamously false that I do not know how to choose language to denounce It as such.” Mr. Ingalls next quoted froma speech reported to have been delivered by Mr. Voornees in V. prior to the war, in Which he favored slavery and editions printed, one for circulation in the North and one for the South, “That 13 not true,” Said Mr. Voorhees, “They are accessible to-day,” replied Mr. Ine gail. “just a8 much as the statutes of the United ptates.” “Bring them tn,” was Mr. Voorhees’ be Say it is wot true,’ Ihave heard that in tue cam. paign before.” Mé. Ingalls next produced a letter written by Mr. Voorhees in 1860, introducing F. A. Shute to Southern leaders, and by which the latter got an appointment as Uricadier general, ir, Voorhees admitted having written the letter, but sald the peopie of Indiana had passed upon ihat long ago. AS to the other campaign lies he Would spurn and spit upon them, Mr. Ingalis—The Senator avers that tne charge hat he called Unlon soldiers Lineolu hirelings and dogs, and sald that they should go to a black. swith’s shop and have an tron collar around their necks With the inscription “my Abrabam Lincoln,” was a campaign slander and a scandal that hail been spit upon, "That averment could be substantiated by ag creditable a Witness as there Was in the city.

He sala Mr. Voorhees deserved charity more than anything @lse, aud that however obscure his (ngails) war’ record might have been it was always on theside of hiscountry and not against it, ‘MR. VOORHEES IN REPLY declared that if Mr. Ingalis could find one single vote he had cast against the payment of soldiers their bounties, &c., he (Voorhees) would resign his seat in the Senate, He continued and said: “The Senator has sald that 1 am an object of his charity. ‘The Senator, I reply, 1s an object of my contempt. ‘The Senator'says that I Issued a proclamation in 1861 that | yould not vote for money or men.

I can only say, a8 Ihave said to the people Whose names are on the paper from Sullivan County, that they lie and do not tell the pruta, nor does the Senator when ue repeats What they Said.” Meantime Representative Johnson, of Indiana, had seated himself immediately behind Mr In. galls. He begun to proipt the Kansas Senator, jeaulng over to whisper in his ear. Under this wpting Senator Ingalls interrupted Mr. Voor.
