Senator Williams, from the Committee on Retrench- ment, to-day reported a joint resolution, which was passed to a second reading, as follows: — Be it resolved, &c., That the office of Director of tho Bureau of statistics, created by the 13th section of an act passed July 28, 1866, be.and the same is horeby abolished, and’ all’ books, papers and records of said bureau sball be transferred to the Special Commissioner of Interna! Revenue, and the duties prescribed in sald section of the said act shall hereafter be performed by the said special Committee of Internal Revenue, under the direction of the Secretary of the Treasury. The committee, aftor a thorough investigation of the Management and usefulness of the Bureau of Statistics, as at present established, discovered its perfect worth- sessness. For example, a statistical report ordered to be prepared by the director to be sent to tho Paris Ex- position and got up at a vast outlay, upon examina- tion by the Secretary of State, was found to embrace ich palpable errors and numerous absurditios that an order was issued for its suppression, There are about forty clerks employed in the bureau, with salaries rang- ing from $1,200 to $1,800, the larger proportion being of the latter class, The clerk hire alone, therefore, amounts to about $50,000, printing per annum about $25,000—making $75,000 for the performance of labor much more accurately done, it has been found by the committee, with the aid of five clerks in the office of Register of the Treasury under the old system.

He disclaimed being actuated by any hostility to any individual. He merely attacked the system on evidence satisfactory to him. Mr, Fessxxpen, (rep.) of Me., satd the proposition was not to take $100,000 out of the Treasury, but to pay the whole into the Treasury, and allow it to be drawn out if necessary, Ho said the Senator was im the habit of making just such violent attacks as this on heads “of departments and others and then turning round and dis- claiming any unfriendlineas to any gentleman, and claim- ing that he was just doing his duty. Mr, Fessenden denied that this question involved any sanctionjof what had been done hitherto, Kuowing that what he, when Secretary of tho Treasury, had done was right, he did not Want the sanction or ‘the disapprobation of the Senate, He was willing to act on his own responsibility, and, said he (gesticulating with considerable warmth), Ido not tear anything that the Senator from lilinoia can say or do, He may repeat his oft told tales as many times as he sees fit, He (Mr. Fessenden) did not suppose the Senator really felt any animosity, but when be formed an opinion he seemed to fee) it a personal affront to differ with him, and would etand on the ninety-niath part of a hair, notwithstanding the contrary view was proved satisfactory to every one else, He (Mr. Feesen- den) did not consider it the fair way of deciding a ques- tion to go tothe persons outside, who had been dis- charged from the departmen:, for information without going near the Treasury Department.- Mr, ‘Tromeuwt said he felt here the same diMculty that he bad met before—that no comments could be made on a certain department without the Senator's making a personal matter of it, He repeated that the logal effect of the amendment was to keep out one hun- dred thousand dodlars, the same law providing for pay- ing it in and taking 1t out, He might have spoken with more circumlocution and stated the point with all the tourer and superior knowledge of the Senator from faine, Mr, Fessenpen said when they appropriated one bun- dred and fifty millions, according to the Senator, it was then all out of the Treasury, nota dollar of it 10, Mr. TRUMBULL said this was @ measure to put a par- ticular fund into the Treasury which was now outside, and atthe same time to place at his discretion one hundred thousand dollars of i, He had known many bold men, who went about with chips on their shoulders daring anybody to knock them off; but did anbody ever suppose that they were the only brave men in the world? He had always had tae highest opin.on of the Senator, but he (Mr, Fessenden) was contigually going avout with those chips on bis shoulders, Mr. Fessenpen—That’s when bullies are about. (Laughter. ) Mr. TRUMBULL said the S did not care or fear anyt say or do. = Mr. Fessenpex—I did not say “I did not care; my anxiety naturally flows that way. Mr, TRUMBULL said he was glad to relieve the Senator from any apprehensions in regard to bis intentions, and again repeated that he felt the highest respect for’ that Senator, and had not intended to apply his remarks to him personally. He then repeated the considerations he had advanced against the proposition, The bill having passed in Committee of the Whole, the qaestion was on the amendment of Mr. Edmunds, which was agreed to by @ vote of 23 to 13, and alter verbal amendment the bill was passed. THE NEW SENATOR FROM KENTUCKY, Mr. Davis, (dem.) of Ky., announced that his col- league, Thomas M. McCreery, Senator elect from Ken- tucky, whose credentials he had presented yesterday, was present. ur. MeCreery then came forward and she oath was administered to him, and he took his seat between Messrs, Thayer and Saulsbury. MILITARY ACADEMY APPROPRIATION BILL. Mr, Monn, (rep.) of Maine, called up the bill mak- ing appropriations for the support of the Military Academy for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1869, re- ported ‘rom the Committee on Appropriations, with amendments, which were concurrd in. ‘Mr, THaver, (rep ) of Neb., called attention to a state- ment in the Chicago Jritune, which, if true, showed that the Institution was discreditable to the Ls ment and the country, It might be exaggerated, but enough appeared to attract the attention ot Congress. He had not been favorably impressed witn the working of that institution when he remembered that nearly all of the officers who organized and led the confederate armies in the late war were educated in this institation, and he had contemplated offering a bill to create two or three military schools to take its place. The Clerk read the article from the Chicago Ttune, purporting to have been written by a graduate, drawi ‘® melancholy picture of the morais at West Point, ing that there was an entire absence of religious influ- ences, styling it an Augean stable, and describing tho hazing and fagging to which younger students were subjected. Mr, Savranvry, (dem.) of Del., eaid that any one who had read the story of *‘Verdant Groen,” a story of col- lege life in Evgiand, was aware that such practices woro general in all colleges, Mr, Witson, (rep.) of Maes., did not think the article entitled to any consideration, He had enclosed a copy of it to che institution, and he had received a tong leiter, accompanied by statements of some of the students, denying the trath of the representations, No doubt many things were done by the students at the best literary institutions —even at Cambridgo— that could not bo approved. It should be remembered that many army oMcers educated at West Point remained true to ths country—many of them from the South, amongt he abjest im the army. | Mr. Jouxson, (dem.) of Md.—General Thomas is one + of them. | Mr. Witsow had no doubt tho national spirit that kept them true had been inspired there He thoucht no pon shouid be paid to such anonymous communi- cations, | Mr. Grimes, (rep.) of Towa, said he also had received | a denial of the truth of the article from the officers of the inetitution, and he believed that “hazing” was po- remptorily stopped by military rule, « | Tue bill was passed. | MILITARY COURTS MARTIAL—THE CASE OF TITZ JOBN PORTER, | . Mr, Witson then called uo the bill declaratory of the law in regard to officers cashiored or dismissed from the army by the sentence of « general court martial. Mr. Hexpricns, (dem.) of Ind., asked what the Lory of the bill was. He knew of some officers who H n discharged, and who ought to be reatured—some in | his own State, inst Whom no truthfut allegation had been brought. He had in his mioda case of «bravo ! colonel unwarrantedly diemiased from the service on a proceeding that did not commend itself to the mind of ‘any lawyer. Mr Wirsos said several persons after being dismissed from the servic by sentence of a court martial had been restored, when thoy should @ct have been. He had no doubt where persons had beeg unjustly treated—if they were renominated and their names sent to the senate — they would be justly treated. Tho President dpvoted his attention to the examination of such cases, and it had often been the case that personal or polit-cal influ- ence had set aside the verdict.of a court martial. But the decisions of military tribunals ought not to be set aside ou the partial representations which would be in- evitable in such cases, Mr. Jouason would not say this bill was intended to meet a particular case, but the public had been led to | believe it was lotended to meet the case of Fitz John | Porter, As one of his counsel he agreed with moet of | the public preva that justice bad not been done that | tor bad remarked that he g ho (Mr, Trumball) might General, who had apptied for a re-examination of bie cage, supported by many prominent men — tho princi. pal ground of conviction was that he had failed to make an attack at the second battle of Bull Run, when there was little force in front of him, General Longstreet’s Teport showed that the whole of his column was in front of Porter, who. if he bad attacked, would hi been crushed. merely supposd every fair-mim man would like to cont, and he had written a letter in favor of his having an examination of his case yi. competent oMoera, Mr. CHANDLER, (rep,) of Mich., was as anxious as any one that justice should bedone Fitz Jobn Porter. A few days before the battle of Bull Run that General was chief of staff to General Patterson, whose army was threatening Johnson's army, and had it remained there Johnson's army would never have reached the battle field; but, by the advice of Fitz John Porter, Patterson moved bis army and left Johnaon free to join Beaure- ho thas conquered on the frat bartle field of the . Ita wt true that F hn Porter was in coi mand at tho battle of Malvern Hills, He merely com- manded the right wing at the second batt! When peremptorily ordered to attack the mh if to the man who carried the ord ttack We will bring on a fight”? Tr “Wotl, are you not here tor a fight?” attack, although bad he d would have been destroyed’ in one hour, Certainly in- justice had been done him, He (Mr, Chandler) thought ¢ should have been shot on that field of battle, and he had told General P + pte tho only fault he found with him was that he had permitted Fitz Jobn Porter to leave the field, Had he oboyed that order Longstreet would have been desiroyed on Friday, and Jackson, who had not theo come up, would have destroyed on Saturday. If Porter it BOW before a court martial of the men who closed the war, and these facts ‘were established from the evidence, including the rebel reports, he would not be before them compidining of ‘e ial. They had been told that Antietam was lay for them, Longatreet's corps John Por L dler) was informed by a genera of Fitz John Porter obeyed Gencral Mo‘ lelian’s order to attack Antietam would have closed the war. He repeated there facts from his recollection as a momber ot the Committee on the Conduct of the War, and was n willing that itshould ge out that n great wrong had been done Fitz John Porter, That officer had doubtless done good fighting at Malvern Hills in defending bitnseif attac! je frou that bis record was very different. Mr, Jonxson eaid he had not bad the ame experience as the Senator from Michigan (Mr. Chandler), who, he a, Was at tho fires battic of Bull tun. (Laghier.) Mr. Caaxpier—N air, in the neighborhood. Ho therefore deferred to that Senator's judgment In such mattors as dar as he reason- bly could; hut when, on the other mile, most allan’ officors of the army Were arraigned, he could not belp Judgment in this matter. Mr, Porter bad b before the court martial by every oMver of a an officer whoee kill and gallantry had ed. It wate Jittle hard that av off n fifteen or twenty of the hanie d who in tha weidet of conges n viudiented Mr. Jonxsow said the Sevator then had perhaps been | the army that had [ | toapply to the thinking that perhaps tho Senator had overrated his | er evinced aught but a destre to maintain the honor of bis Support the cause of his country, should be on testimony taken by the Committee on tho Conduct of the War. Wuo examied the witnesses? What counsel had he there? 1p what relation towards did the men stand who assa led him? These were questions that would suggest themselvos to the mind of Had the conduct of General Grant been considerea by that committee men enough be found to swear that he forgot his duty; and ypt what man with a heart in his bosom would besi~ uch an assault would be tho result of hery? Mr. Johnson reiterated that Genora! Porter dia command at Malvern Hills, and because be did was wegeetes ss major general by bis goneral-in-cblet, who agone ‘most extraordinar; 6: record, Such ite as the nt” were bad life, but for a soldier who life on twenty glorious battle be told here that he ought to be shot, @ (Mr. Johnson) nevor expected to hear. The general mind was perhaps wrapped up in prejudice, He (Mr, Johnson) bad never since the war was jermigated been able to tell why @ battle way lost or won. Doubt~ jose it was instinctive with that Senator, because he was i ith which he judgment of experienced and gallant officers, which, however, he preferred to that of the Senator, whatever might have been his ex- perience during the war. Mr. Cameron read a letter from Fitz John Porter disclaiming any design to such restoration to the service and asserting that he only derires a re-oxamina- tion of the facts in bis case so that justice may be done him, Mr. Cameron then said bo had employed Mr. Porter (th lieutenant) on gome service early in the war, and looking upon him as one of the moat promis- ing men in the army, had made him acolonel, He bad been deeply pained to Jearn that Mr. Porter was in dis- grace after the battle of the Peninsula He confirmed (he statement of Mr, Chandler that General Porter had advised the rotreat of Patterson, {He did not under- stand how Porter could have wen the battle of Antictam, when he was in the reserve, Mr, Jonnsow said be was so under orders from General McClellan. Mr. Cuanpier declined to be drawn tnto any contro. Versy with the Seuator. ‘The witnesses at that court martial were almoat all officers of the army, some of tue the bravest geverals of the war, and they had been exam ned by three fourths of the ablest lawyers of the United States, Andrew Johnson was perbaps one of the most prominent engaged in the examination. Every rominent general at the battle of Malvern Hilis— ichardson, who was kil'ed at Antietam; Kearny, who was killed at the second Buli Run—ali stated that Por- ter notin command. General McClellan was sup- to be in command, but was on a gunboat, and ‘itz Joho Porter had never been credited with tbat com- mand, to hie knowledge, until today. Mr. Cameron could not seo how he prevented General Lee from tare | the battle by refusing to take his troops into it, If injustice was done to Porter by hasty action of that court martial ould right him, but that had nothing to do with thie bil, Tho President should not be ailowed to interfere with the sentence of a regular court martial, Mr. Witson said the Committee on Military Affairs had not had Fitz Jon Perter tn mind in bringing im this bill, He believed that gentleman did not desire to be restored to \he army, le had koown him during the war, and believed him to be an accomplished officer, who had won the confidence and affection of thése under him. In bis opinion General Porter merely desired a review of his case for the purpose of presenting some mew testimony to reverse the sentence against him and rogain the good opinion of the country, He supposed every fair minded man would like to hi the gentleman vindicated 1f he was ignocent, and he (Mr, Wilson) had written a letter in favor of his having an examination of his case by compezent officers, Mr. Ramsty, (rep.) of Minn., said it was evident no vote would be reached to-night, aud moved to go into executive session, and at half-past four o'clock the Senate went into executive session, and shortly after- after wards adjourned. . “HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
