TH INVESTIGATION OF TH USE OF TROOPR AT ELECTIONS—DEBATE ON THE SUBJECT IN THE HOUSE—THE MATTER REFERRED TO A SELECT COMMITTER WITH POWER TO SEND FOR PERSONS AND PAPERS. Wasmixctox, Jan. 24, 1877. The House, at twenty minutes pas? three P. M., pro coeited to the business on the Speaker's table, and the Speaker aguin bad before the House the message from the President in rogard to the uso of troops ab the late election as originally prosented last Monday. Mr, Woop, (dem.) of N. Y., asked that the mes- sage had been already read its sceund reading be dispensed with, Mr, Hurtavr, (rep.) of Hil, objected, aud required that not only the mossage but the accompanying docu- ments bo read, The Sruaker decided against the right to bave the documents read, and was reminded by Mr. Hoar that that ruling was in the very teoth of one made lust week, The Sreaker deciared it as his judgment that tho question ag to the reading should be roferred to tho House, He put the question and decided the voto in tho negative. Mr. Woop then offered bis resolution, that tho message be referred to a select committes of eleven to inquire whethor there had been an exercise of author- ity not warranted by the constitution and laws tn the use of troops for which the President 13 justly respon- sible, with power to send tor persons and papers. Mr, Banks, (rep.) of Mass., made the point of order that power to send for persons and papers 1s not au. rtho rules and should only be given eports 1Las necessary. that if anybody but the gentle- Massachusotts bad made that point he from would have susvected that there wus some motive to prevent investigation, Messrs, Witsox and Kasson, of lowa, also matotamed the force of the point made by Mr. Bunks, and Mr, Wil- son said that he had ruised (he sutue point the other day merely out of regard for tne gentieman fro New York man and with a desire to keep I KEMAIKS OF MR, HOAR Mr. Hoar, (rep.) of Muss., replied to Mr. Wood’s suggestion ng lo a notive in preventing Investization. He said toat on bis part there was such a motive, It did not seem to him to be x decent thing—m the re- Jatsons between the diflerent departments of the gov- rught in the trages, President or of a department ment through tho mode ersons ad papers by a commitiee of the House uot tne ordinary, respoctiul and proper mode of a-king for the information had been tried and exhausted. he did pot deny that there might bo cases, lovkibg to an impeachment or jook ug toa prevention of abuses in the public service, in which that mode of approaching tho subject might’ be proper and courteous and the duty of the Hoese; but Ww aid seem to him that it was for the interest of a! parts of the governinent that the courtesies, the otiquettes, the Pproprieties of oilicial Ife should be preserved, where it could be done without sucriticing the essentials of duty, He did put believe ii wise to introduce toe clemenis which created and excited antagonism. This was a question of what bad been ihe constitutional uetion of the Presutent, 1n what he (dir. Howr) conceded to be a very grave au portant matter, It seemed to him that ifthere was a1 fact, the proper, courteous, regular, constitutional method wis to ask the President about it, and if the Preswent said that he qould pot give the information without injary to public incerest then it would be for the House to cousides whether that answer was satis- factory or not. ‘The SPKAKER overruled the point of order and quoted of the govern. of sending for | the rules aud manual in support of his rating. MK. BANKS’ APPEAL. Mr. BANKs appeaied trom the decision of the Speaker, aud said that bis only motive in raising Ul point of order was that power to send lor persons and papers was an abase of power for wuicb there had been no cause assigned. Under that power the com- mittee could send all over the United States for troops of witnesses, who would monopolize the imo and at- tention of tne House with questions of privilege, and the House might sce @ deleat of the appropria- tion bills and of all) the important matters connected with the Presidential question, It was on the ground that this was an abuse of power, absolute and unlimited, for which there was no cause ‘assigned, that he mado the point of order aud now appealed from the decision of the Chair, Mr. Hat rep.) of Me., called Mr. Wood’s atten- tion to the fact that the Prosident’s Messago was ac- companied by a largo amount of papers and docu- ments, and said that if he (Mr. Wood) should find on a perusal of those documenta that all the information he desires was not there it would be then tme to come and ask jor persons aud papers. THY DIGNITY OF ‘THE PRESIDENT, Mr. Woop replied that there was in the resolution nothing offensive to the diguity of the President, The Executive bad been treated with the greatest respect. The House had not exercised what in bis (Mr. Wood's) nent was lis just prerogative in calling the Execu- uve to account tor his military interiereuce in the Southera States, fie did not mtond any disrospect to the President, but he did want a free and tull investi- gution, so that if it were true that there wos a violation of the constitution in ordering troops to the Southern States to interfero with State vlections the House might place in the archives of government its coudem- nation of those acts, Mr. Warimrson, (dem.) of Ky., indorsed Mr. Wood's | Views, and said tbat in the early part of the session hud declined to inquire even as ty whether jo Impeuch the resident. Ithad done 80 at the instance and request of those who were described as the Confederate clement, They had ob. jected to impeaching the President, ‘not _bo- cause they thought him not {mpeacaabie, bat simply because they wanted to pa came in exceedingly bad grace for the President's de- jon a simple, incdest and courteous method of ing a search for truth. ‘The SPEAKER recailed the House to the real question before it, which was the question of appeal, and ho | again stated his ruling and the reasons for it. Mr. Cox, (dem) of N. Y., replied to the suggestion of Mr. Hoar as to the imuecency ot the proposed mode of procedure, and said that indecency would come in when the inquiry was anawered. He moved to lay the appeal on the table. Carried—Yons 147, nays 78. The resolution The House then, five o'clock, adjourned, PARDONED BY THE PRESIDENT. [BY TELEGRAPH Tu THE HERALD.) Trextox, N.

Belore the joint meeting convened it was Moticed that the lobbies avd corridors of the Stute House were filed with an anxious looking throng of politicians, some of them kuown to be bigh up in the cuuncils of iheir respective parties, They were dis- cussing the situation 19 a lively manner, and the geu- eral impression seemed to be that onc, if nob two, democratic tnembers bad just sold themselves to the republicans in order Lo clect a member of that party to the Un States Senate, This impression guined headway y, soon, and when it was du covered that the republican Senators and members bad quietly gone into caucus m the Supreme Court room much credevce was placed upon the rumor, ‘They remamed tu caucus until » fow minutes betore the Une fixed ‘tor the joimt meeting and then they filed duwa to the Assembly Chamber. their subsequent action proved that the caucus was hurriedly culied tor the purpose of substituting the name ot Me.

Ot all the distinguished vocalists who havo shed lustro on this their country Miss Kellogg deserves the most prominent place, whether we consider her remarkable natural talents, the perfection of her vocal method, her dramatic power, her engaging stage presence and the indomitable strength of will she has shown in carving out, beyond the most sanguine antictpations of | her friends, her most ambitious operatic schemes, She has exchaoged the pedestal of [tulian opera tor that of English opera, without descending one step from the high position long since accorded to her on the lyric stage, Acatemy of Music should be crowded Jast night from parquet to dome on the occasion of Miss appearance as Marguerite in ” by most of her admirers her best rdle, and one on which she has bestowed the greatest amount of care, and in which her emotional talent is most powerfully dixplayed.

Without in the least tronch- ing upon the modesty of nature, she depicts im an in- tenseiy realistlo yet legitimate manner the beart- rending agonios of a morbidly sensitive, albeit fondly loving wife and the soul struggles of a mother not only deprived of her children, but forcod to soe them compelled to call ‘mother’ the woman who has usurped the place she had held of right in the husband’s heart.” ABINGDON SQUARE SAVINGS BANK. RELUCTANT TRUSTEES AND HUNGRY DEPOSIT- ORS—EXTRAORDINARY REAL ESTATE TRANS- ACTIONS ~A VICE PRESIDENT'S STRANGE STORY. A meeting of the Trustees and Depositors’ Com- mittee of this bank was hold Jast eving in the bank building in Abingdon equaro. Mr, Goorge W. Winant, tho chairman of the Depositors’ Com:nities, presided. Ho stated that tho purpose of the mect- ing was to ascertain whether the trustees were willing to moke ap the amount called for by the deposits and not found in the assets ag yet. He had understood that they (the trustees) had proposed todo go. Mr, Winant’s remarks brougat a smilo to the faces of tho depositors present that found no ro- flection on those of the trustees, Mr. Schoonmake one of tho trustees, stated in reply that therg had been several meetings of the Board, but that subject had not been discussed. SKCUND MORTGAGES, The Chairman thereupon waated to know why thero were soveral second mortgages among the assels when it was a well understood thing (bat the bank dealt only in first mortgages. For instance, there were twenty- two lots on Broadway upon which there were second mortgages. Tho receiver nere corroborated the chair- nd waid that they were in the books of the bank 4 mortgages, Everybody giared at everybody elso for a moment, and the speaker of the evening, ex-Vice President 8. 'f, Burnbam, rose and commenced speaking. A QUEER EXPLANATION, He proceeded to expluin the second mortgage ques- tion. ‘the bank, said he, could not, as a bank, hold real entate in its own name. Somo property in Brook- lyn was in process of foreclosure and was strack off to plainti! und bought in by the bank's attorney The property was bought in the name of Mr, Scboon maker, one of the trustecs, in trust for the bank. OF course under the circumstances there was nothing on the books of the bank to show that the land in ques- tion was U property of the bank, and 80 Mr. Schoonmaker gave inortgages for the property. Tue mortgages were of course recorded among the arseis, although they were for property that was al- ready beld in trust for the bunk, They were im amount equal to the original cost, of the property. Another plece of property under similar circumstances stood iu the name of Mr. Kurnbam’s son, a clerk in the bank, similar mortgages being deposited with the bank, 1 cierk, of course, had nothing to do with the property or the revenues from it, The chairman here ask ¥ revenue?” “Very little, any,” rephed the speaker, ‘No second inortgages were ever taken by the bank while | was a meinber of the Board ot Trustees,’ coutinued Mr. Burnham. Mr. burnham then asked Receiver Thompson whether as a lawyer be thought tho Board could as a Hoard directly boid real estate, and Mr. Thompson evaded the direct question, but replied with cutting effect that he did not wieh wyer that the trustees had any right to make such transactions. Mr. Burnham sat down for a few mom. uts, aud somebody started the question of assets. Thompson stated that if the assets realized toe amounts credited on the books there would be from fifty to sixty per cent for the depositors. The assets already soid were about one-quarter of the total amount and those remaining aggregated $62,231, The question was again raised as to whether the trastees would come lorward with money. No one seemed inclined to do #o and Mr. Burnham stated that he didn’t think they would, pre Tho ex-Vice Presi tailed account of the hank manager ud ours, The bank when he went was short Du, ‘The trustees deposited that amount with the understanding (bat it was pot to be withdrawn unul there was a surplus, After the Secretary had de | clured =a dividend i was withdrawn, He thought that the bank had made money.
