Fitz-John 'orter has at last been vindicated, the bill o restore him to his position in the army aving passed its biggest stumbling block by vote of 184 to 78. Tho debate over the bill asted until nearly eight o'clock. At times 1 was very spirited. The bill as passed is as ollows: "Be it enacted by the senate and house of opresentatives of the UnitedJ States of kmerica in congress assembled: That the residont be, and hp horeby is authorized to nominate and, by and with th4 advice and 3onsent of the senate, to appoint Fitz-Johu Porter, late a major general of the United States volunteers and a brevet brigadier general and colonel of the army, to the position of colonel in the army of the United States, of the same grade and rank held by him at the timo.of his dismissal from the army by sentence of court inertial, promulgated Janua;y 27, 183, and to place on the retired list of the army as of that grado, the retired list being thereby increased in number to 'that extent; and all laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith are suspended for this purposs only; but this nt shall"not be construed as authorizing pay, componisation or allowancc prior to the passage of this act." The house dispensed with its morning sea sion and devoted the day to debate upon thi bill. M-. Volford5 of Kentucky, siakin! in support of the bill, said lie hoped that n< man who'ihad served in the coufederati army had got so angry over the 1fgh that after twenty years ho could no do an act of justice t a map who hai fought against him. lie hoped that no mai would get up and say: "I can't vote on thi bill. I am interested. I am still mad."

There w a condition of affairs now which mad it probable that the bill would pasi all the way through, but .i there was suc a condition of- affairs now he would appo, from the action to the people. Ionbor wore asked by this bill to say, in the lai guago of the gentleman from New Yor (Mr. Slocum), that Abraham Lincoln an Edwin M. Stanton an (en. lIalleck cos spired together to organizo a court to cos vict Fitz John Porter, and the gentlema undertook to attack the name of William 'I Bherman to help him out. (on. Sherma was true to his country, and while he an Stanton had a difliculty yet, with the ge orosity of late years, the general had sai that ho did not believe that Stanton was. ui true to himself or him. If these scenes we to be re-onacted here, there might come time when the bugl blast of the grand am of the opublic, by the side of their cau fires, would ask Gen. Sherman'to come o of his retirement and lead thon again victory as he did before. Mr. Phelps of New Jersey spoke in fav ,s of tha bill. Speaking of Gon.

The senate committee on privileges and elections will meet to-day to consider how to d make the invostigatioi' of political outrages in Virginia and Mississippi, called for by I the Sherman resolution adopted on1 Tuesday. Is The members of the committee are unde- ] cided as to the wisest plan to adopt. There I is considerable talk about sending sub oom- i d anittees to the two states to make Inquiries on the spot, but there are some difficulties in the way of this course. The resolution as passed by the senate made no pro vision for an investigation outside of Wash ington, and to do so the committee would In have to get special permission from the by senate. Then, too, only the chairman of 'y a committee is allowed by the statutes to st inter oaths, so that if the sub-com n- nmi e desired to take sworn testimony they would have to be made special oon as mittees of the senate. It would be incon by veniont for the prominent members of to the election committee to leave the cap ital for some time. Mr. Hoar, for ex ample, has his hands full of work, as a der member of the judiciary committee, the chairman of which, Mr. Edmunds, has to devote most of his time to the duties or- of presiding officer of the senate. Mr. Sher man is also very busy with measures before the finance committee. The committeemen of are also undecided whether to investigate of first one state and then the other, or to go on with both at the same time. It is proba ble, however, that both investigations will rios be begun here, and that the question of 1110 sending out sub committees will be left un decided until the committee can judge what an, to do from the results of its work here Re as gard.will be paid to this respect to the wishes of eenators on the democratic side. . Admirals Porter, Roger and Jenkins and a ain largo delegation of officers of the navy made alh. arguments beforp the sep ate committee'on naval affairs in favor of the construction of ea additional ships of war. In the last congress gon it w enacted that the secretary of the navy should not repair any vessels in the service where the cost of the same should exceed 20 ud, per cent. of the origiiqal cost of the ships. go, The startling statement is made that unless lay this law is repoaled or amended there will is not be half a dozo ships of the American navy afloat at the expiration of two years. The naval officers urged upon the committee a. the necessity for the prompt completion of his the new cruisers, now being constructed, and also for the building of other now ships of jury war. It is proposed also to amend the law, hil- so as to allow repairs on old vessels to be made up to the amount of 33) per cent., in cape stead of 20 per cent. of original cost. Ad cap- miral Porter thought the advisory board +hould put more sail power on the new cruis ,n ers. He favored steam as an auxiliary to , by sail vower, while the board wished to make sail simply an auxiliary to steam pqwer. All ,duce tho officers who spoko expressed their contl corn donco that the new cruisers would be first class iu all respects. . The Ohio legislatur-e has asked the repro ani sentatives of that state to vote for a restora ed tion of the old duty on wool. Mr. Hurd the proposes to disregprd these instructions, am y ,. he wants to tell the house and (lie country is. resons for disobedient conduct. Thb farmers of We Buekeye state have presente< hundredsU os r-'unnafl to congress for th< Sr.orstoration of the wool diuL, '-" the doe II(crats say It will be impossible for theme ti carry the state next fall unless the duL a "sn reimposed. On Monday next Mr. Conver-s York will be recognized to move to suspend th nste t ales to fix an eqrly day for tho considert .ion of his bill restoring the wool duty. Cor ver-so will advocato the iiiotion and Hur my at will oppose it. A two-thirds vote is require to suspend'the. rules, and It is not probab] i,nlm- Mr. Converse's motion wilLpevail.
