Mr. LoGaN, chairman of the committee, rose and said;—the House has just heard read ue evidence taken ta the case of Mr, Willian: Whittemore aud (he statement which toat gentleman hiiself had sub- mitled to the committee, He haa no desire wo pre- clude Mr. Whittemore trom making @ statement now W 106 House, Li he desired; but if Mr. Whitte- more did not so desire be (Mr. Logan) would nut discuss ine question @b ail, Luc would leave It io the hiouse to decide upon the evidence aud explanation subnucted and the resolution he had reported, aud which Was the unanimous voice of the committee. Air. POCAND, (rep.) of Vt, remarked that he cer- tatuly had no deaire to relieve Mr. Wnitvemore from tae punishment which he deserved growing out of that cransaction, eveu Lf that punishment went so far as expuision froin the House; still me thought tt ‘Was @ cuse Where the House ought to proceed with great deliveratiou aud care. It was very iuiportant, not *o Mr. Wuittemore personally, but to the House. The iiouse had not been in the habit of act- ing on any very ho: jt mater depending on evidence uuless that evidence was prinied, so that every memver could examine it with deliberation and care. It certainly seemed to him highty impor. tami for the House to undertake to dispose finally of the mater after @ hurried greading of tue manuscript testimony, and he therefore suggesied to chairman the Commit. vee on Military Affairs whether aciion shoud Dok be dalares long enougn to have the evidence printe@, He certainly did not feel prepared to act Oa SO linportant a mateer without ap opportunity to sit down and examine the evidence careiully. He dia not suppose that the chairman of the Comunittee ou Miltary Alfairs desired 10 press the matter with unseemly haste, aud he thereiore suggested to let It go over until Thursday, Mr. LOGAN disclaimed any intention or desire to press the matter with undue haste, and repeated that if ur, Watttemore wished to be heard betore tie House be was perfectiy willing that he should nave that privilege; but if Mr. Waittemore did not desire to heard belore the House he (Mr. Logan) did not knuw whether there should be auy furtner delsy, imasinuch us Mr. Wuitle- more in his Own statement beiore the cowmittee, wach had been taken down ve atin, did not pretend to deny having received money for M8 appolatments, ihe comuatiee did not consider that auy one could be excused for doiug an ulegul act by sayiug the money he bad received jor it bad been used ior charitable purposes. That Was Lo ex- cuse waatever, Heace the committee had come to the conclusion thay it was not proper to permit Mr. Whittemore apy longer to occupy a seat in the liouse. When members of the liouse had becn aa- sailed in tue manner 1M which they bad been, and when such evidence as had just oceu read had been tuken by a cCoummtiee aud presented to the House he did nov think he should ve accused of unneces- sary haste ip asking the House to pass upon it. Mr. BUTLER, OL Mass., proposed tue following resoluiiea:— Resolved, That B. ¥. Whittemore, a member of the House, be permitted to appear at the var of the House, on Touraday ext, wiver ihe inoralug hour, to be heard in hie defence and how cause, if any be bave, why sentence of expulsion should not ‘be passed againet hind, aa recommended by the Committee on Muitary Aifairs, and ‘that in the meantime the eviueuce be printed, He said that whatever might be the Impression of Members on hearing the evidence read, and what- ever way be the feciing with which they regarded the transacuon, it was but due to themselves that iley should give @ beating at the bar of the House to the party implicated at such time, as short as might be, and yet loug enough for bliin to prepare himself on gthat very momeutous question. ‘To nun, a8 Well as to the House, he thought it but fatr play but justice to the House as weil as to the wecused. Mr. LOGAN remarked that he had stated several times that if Mr. Whittemore desired to make any deience before the House he was wiilng that he suouid be heard, bat Mr. Wuittemore bad not sald wo him that he had any such desire. Mr. BUTLER thought thas Mr. Whittemore should not be called upon to decide that question at once. Under the unforcauate, embarrassing circumstances he might not be m a condition of thought, or judg. ment, or considerauion to decide that question at once. Mr. JENCKES, (rep.) of R. L, remarked that it was the duty of the House to give the member time. Mr. POLAND said that it was of the lighest impor- tance that the evidence snould be printed, and that Mr. Whittemore did desire a delay. Mr. BANKS, (rep.) Of Mass., did not think that any case of this kind bad ever been acted on by this House without the testimony concerning 1 being in prin. He tnought that time for printing tae testi- mony shouid ve given without regard two Lue wishes of ue member inplicated. Mr. LOGAN took the responsibility of saying for the comimitiee that the comuntice was wiliing that the matter suould be set down for a nearing at two o'clock on Wednesday. Mr. COBURN, (rep.) of Ind., thought there was not any sense in delaying the matter @ moment unless it was delayed jong enough to give weimbers ume to read the evidence in print. He did not understand that the House was @ military Commission,.or court Tuartial or that there was any reason wiy it should rust into a decision of Uiis kind, that was to affect the charagter pf this geutieman and his family for all time to come. Why this haste? They owed it to tuemselves as men Of sense and as men setting a precedent of ® most Lnportant character to take Ume in this matter, Mr. BUTLER, said that he had proposed the short time fixed in his resolution out of Consideration to the accused member, in order that the rebound that Would be reflected irom the press im an ec parte crgen might not come back and Infict prejadice in 18 CASE. Mr. Copvrn besought members to take time to deuberate. ‘There might be some additional evi- dence required. He did not know but tuat ube evi- dence of Shaw should ve vad. Mr. Davis, (rep.) of N. Y., reminded Mr, Coburn that the resolution offered by Mr. Butler did not call for a vote on Weunesday, but simply called on the accused to answer at the bar of the House, Tne sooner he was heard the betier for all of them. Air. LOAN said that he did not see any necessity for gentiemen making insinaations about acung with undue haste, nor for that excitement which some gentlemen manifested. No otuer committee of investigation had ever given an accused paity the chance to come vefore 16 and make is own sta ement and fave it taken down and put fa es part of the exowination. The committee had acted wita every possibile fairness towards this gentleman, ‘The committee had read to Lim tile evidence affect- ing hin, and had a nim every opportunity to bring witnesses and to defend himself vy his own Statement. Was it, tuereiore, fa to say that there was too much haste or pressure? it the object was to postpone the matter for the purpose of huang Up Witnesses and making Uie flouse an investigating committee, he was not Willing to agree to aby such proposiuon. He was willing that the question shoul be postponed until Wednesday, and that tr. Whittemore should have an opportunity of Ifthe committee had charged him evidence, or had acted unfairly towards him, let the liouse so decide and let the country know tt. So far as he himseif was concerned, he would stand taere to be condemned by the House and by his countrymen if he had not discharged his duty properly towards the unforunate man. He moved the previous question. The previous questioa was seconded, and Mr. But- ler’a resolution a8 modified, direcung Mr. Whitte-, More to appear before the House at two o'clock on Wednesday next, and tbat the evidence bein the meanwaiie printed, was agreed to wsthvul apy nega- tive vote, A motion to adjourn over to-morrow, in honor of Washington’s birtaday, was ost, and ten the House at tive o'clock adjourued, STOP LREINTERUST AND REDUCE THE TAXES WASHINGTON, Feb. 21, 1870, ‘The President and Committee of Ways and Means Rave had a talk, and concluded to reduce our Tate of taxation somewhat—enough, they say, to lessen We people’s burden $50,000,000 next year, It 18 @ matter of regret that Secretary Boutwell did not participate in the conference. He certainty could have made some valuable suggestions re- lating to ‘Treasury affairs, whereby many miilion dollars more might be saved to the people. But since he waa not congulted we will supply the omis- sion. Since the 4th of March last Secretary Boutwell haa purchased, according to Jaw, for the ‘“Sénking Fund,” including the militon dollars to be purchased ‘Thursday next, $27,497,509; and according to no luw, but subject to the future action of Congress, $70,825,650—nearly one hundred miliion dollars in all. The avowed object of these purchases was to stop tue interest and reduce the people’s burden of taxa- tion. Very many taxpayers will therefore be aston- ished to learn that the burden of interest on our na- Uonal debt has not been decreased one dollar. Sec- Tewary Boutwell continues to pay interest on the purchased ponds the same gs ever; nay, more, he virtually pays compound interest on the purchased bonds where only simple interest was exacted be- Tore they came into his possession. The People are taxed aud the government is pay- ing over $6,000,000 per year interest to itself ou its own matored and paid up obligations, This amount 13 avain Invested in bonds and interest 1s paid on OT ttle toes it over aud over in, uis hocus-pocus process of reduction, by @ “sinking fund,” the interest burden of uf debt cannot be decreased one cent until after the iast dol- lar of the principal is paid. ‘The awount of interest paid is the exact burden of adept.

Congress should at once direct the Secretary of tne Treasury to have the whole amount counted, regis- tered and burned; repeal the crude and ilbcol sidered sinking Fund law, and stop lorever the pay- ment of Interest on our maturea and paid up ob- gations, Here if & chance to save $6,000,000 this year, We call the attention of the Committee of Ways and Means to it. If that body of wise men improve this opportunity we wilt give them another. ‘The proposed $50,000,000 reduction should be made at least $75,000,000, UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT. Indiana Diverces—Decision in the Cheever- Worcester Divorce Case—Indiana Declared Legal Tiroughout the United States. WASHINGTON, Feb. 21, 1870. Benjamin H. Cheever vs. Jesse B. Wilson and Annte J. Worcester—Appeal from the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia.—This was aD action brought to enforce the provisions of a decree of divorce granted in Indiana between the plainut Jn error and the defendant, Woroester. The decree also provided for the appropriation of certain pro- perty in the District of Columbia, belonging to the wile, towards the support and maintenance of the children of the mar- riage, which were in the custody of the “big portion of the decree the mother sub- Beqnently refused to execute, although after it was made she bad eptered into an ment with Cheever to do the very acts directed therein, insist. ing that the proceedings in the indiana court were void jor waut of jurisdiction, and the court below 0 held it. Mr. Justice Swayne delivered the opinion of this court, reversing the decree below und remand- ing the cause, with directions to enter a decree in coptorinity with the opinion which finds the decree of divorce of the Indiana court to be valid, the court having bad jurisdiction of the parties by the appear- ance of the husband in the action without raising the question there. The Qecree for that reason 18 conciusive upon the parties to the suit and a4 it 18 rated by the laws of Inaana, and has never been guerre there under tue constitution of the United States, 1% must prevail in every other por- tion of the country. The Court also asserts that so far from being pound by the domicil of her hus- band, @ married woman may acquire a residence independent of the husband whenever guci a resi- deuce 18 necessary to the protection of her righis by litigation. The Court rest thetr decision as to the disposition of the property upon the agreement oft the wife suusequently to the divorce, and do not find 1 necessary to inquire into the authority of the Indiana court to make the decrée in respect of the provers in the district. 1ms contract between re. Worcester and Mr. Cheever is held to be suffl- cient for the purpose of the deciston on that point, without going beyond it. Mrs. Cheever, sudsequeut to the divorce, married Worcester, and hence she 18 made dependant by that name, Congress Cannot Establish Police Regulations Within the States.

The questions were answered in the negative, excent that in respect to the second. ,he law is held to be valid as to all territory of the United states outside the limits oi any State. Seizure Under the Confiscation Acts. Henry Petham vs. David G. Rose et al.—Certifi- cate of Division from the Circuit Court for the Dis- trict of Indiana.—This was @ libel under the Confls- cation act of 1862 against a promissory note beiong- ing to Pelham for $2,000. The marshal returned that he had arrested the property, and in pursuance of an order of the court the note was gold to its maker for $5,000. Pelham thereapon sued Kose, the mar- sual making the seizure, and his sureties to recover the amount of the note, avowing a ialse revurn to the writ of monition by the marshal, and that the seizure of the noie was never made, it having been all the while in his (Pel- nam’s) possession in Kentucky. The detendant demurred and the Court ditfera in opinion on the quesuions Waether the actual seizure of the pote io tie case Was necesaary, Wuether the revurn of the Marshal should be construed to mean that such seizure Was made, and whether the proceedings below estopped Peiham from maintaining an action on the note certified them to this court. Mr. Justice Field delivered the opinion of the court, answering the first two questions in the ailirmative, holding tuat it was the property and credit, or the noce in quesuon, whose seizure was contemplated, and not the inere debt of the maker of the note to Peluam, ‘The third question was considered hypothetical, and ‘Was, thereiore, not auswered, Specific Performance of Contract.
