Washington, February 11.?In tho House, in committee of the whole, the amendment to tho aimy bill, placing two additional members on the War Claims Commission, passed. Bromberg, of Alabama, moved an amendment, that tho two additional commissioners pro? vided for in the bill shall be selected from the Southern States; rejected. Cox, of New York, offered an amend? ment, that the army shall not be used iu aid of the pretended Stato Govern moot known as the Kellogg Government in Louisiana, or so as to interfere iu the elections of that or any other State, Wheoler madu tho point of order, that the amendment proposed new legisla? tion, and was not in order. Sypher, of Louisiana, hoped the amendment would be admitted, for tho Kellogg Govern? ment had troops enough to Ciush out the rebel Democracy. Randall, of Penn? sylvania?It has rascals enough. The ..v;,-.t of nrdar ^ras sustained, and thu amendment was excluded. Thu com? mittee then rose, aud reported tho hill, and the House proceeded to vote on the amendments. The firs', vote was on the amendment offered by Young, of Geor? gia, extending the time for the presen? tation of claims to the 1st of November, 1875, whioh was agrcod to. All the other amendments were agreed to iu bulk, aud the hill was passed. " Mr. Bayard, iu tho Senate, to-day, explained his resolution of yesterday, calling on the Presideut to inform the Senate whether any officer of the army had received money or fees from the Legislature of South Carolina for ser? vice rendered the State. He said he was morally convinced that Mujor Lewis Merrill, of the Seventh United States Cavalry, had reoeived from tho State of Booth Carolina 821,400 for his agency in securing the arrest and conviction of persons engaged in Ku Klux outrages, und that the said Merrill aided in lob? bying the bill through the South Caro? lina Legislature giving $35,000 to per? sons who should secure such arrests and conviotions. Mr. Howe reminded Mr. Bayard that the Government had dis? tributed 8100,000 among army officers for the arrest of Jeff. Davis, whoso offenoo was tho perpetration of Ku Klux outrages.

This old and highly esteemed oitizeu, near eighty years of age, died a few days since, ut bis residenco, near the old "Oowpens battle-ground." A ur.u, named Harris, was arrested at Atlanta, Monday, on tho charge of counterfeiting. The tools were found among his effects. Chicago to Charleston?Speech of the Hon. W. B. Ogden, of Chicago.? Ou beiug iotroiluoed by Mr. A. C. Kaufman to the association, Hon. Mr. Ogden said that be had left Now Yurk to Settle in Chicago in 1838. In 1831, Chicago was incorporated as a village, aud in 1837 as a aity. Its Qrst railroad, the Qalena, now Chicago and North? western, was begun in 1817, extended forty-two miles to Elgin in 1851), ami divided the 160 per cent, of dividends from that time to 1850, iualusive. It has now iiftceu f>r more regular roads centreing there. Of thuso roads, he had heeu instrumental iu building 2,000 miles. While his losses iu theso roads, produced by the determination to cllect close and through connections, had beon immense, threatening nt times his fortunes, these very losses had been tho nioaus of his success, for the connections once finished, he -aw n business spring up whieh enhanced tho valuo of his pro? perty to fabulous figures. Look what a parket railway system bus dono for Chicago. Iu 1311, that city had 1,000 inhabitants; it now numbers 400,000. Tho exports of 1873 uro stated to bo $210,000,000. This transportation cen? treing upon the Pennsylvania Railroad, from Pittsburg to Now York, about 150 miles, has enabled that road to earn, during the past year, 833,000,000, or $70,000 per mile; und the New York Centrul und Hudson River Railroad, same length, has earned over $29,000, 000. This great increase of transpor? tation, production and growth iu the West has been occasioned, in large pa.-t, by imiaigratiou. Illinois has been built up by immigration. Tho foreign immigration arriving at Cas? tle- Garden, New York, seeking u re? sidence iu tho North-westeru States, is estimated to carry 8200 per capita. The oountry West of Chicago aud L ike Mi? chigan, includiug the Stato of Illinois, increased by 250,000 po >ple a year, ac? cording to tho Governmentoeusns, from 1850 to iSCO, nuu ubuut the same or more from 1SG0 to 1870. If this num? ber averaged $200 per capita, it is equal to $51),000,000 per anuum brought into tho country annually, and of this sum, ninety per cent, is spent within six mouths alter its ariival, in establishing farms and other enterprises. The twelve North-wcstorn States aud the upper val? ley of tho Mississippi, North-west of the Ohio River, including the State of Aiifesonri, increased from 1S10 to 1830 about 330,000 peuolo per annum; from 1830 to I860. 100.000 per annum; from 1800 to 1S70, 100,000 per annum. This annual addition, averaging $200 per capita, and thoy probably brought more, amounted to 800,000,000; aud to this source is mainly attributable the wonderful increase in population, wealth, production and growth of the North-west. This gigantic development has at last utterly over-loaded all means of trans? portation to the sea-board, and the West and North-west are now anxiously sock? ing a solution of its difficulty. They would ghidly welcome any connection like tho proposed road via Spartauburg aud Abbeville to Charleston, or any city of the South Atlantic States, to receive aud ship their surplus production, aud glad to receive yours in exchange. If tho city of Charleston could open an efficient thoroughfare direct through Cincinnati and Louisville to St. Louis and Chicago, its effect would be prompt !v to oi^wU cus or mosrc line] g5 stcstss* ships from Charleston to Europe. As SOOB as this can be accomplished then immigration from Europe would seek these line-, as the port o! Charleston is uever obstructed with ieo. The immi? grants urriving here would, us is the case everywhere else, locato largely along the lino of this road in South Ca? rolina, and points beyuud in their movemeuts Westward. There is no reason why tho prosperity of the country along the line of this road, with its fine soil aud climate, should not equal that of similar routes between Northern cities and tho West. Why, then, should not the population of Charleston increase from 50,000 to 200, 000 or 300,000? This would follow as a uatural oousequeuco. Tho North-west is now ready to seek this port, not only as an outlet for their surplus produce aud a relief from tho existing difficulties of prompt transportation, but as a delight till winter resort for their people, aud the further consideration that this port is always open, and this road will always be free from snow and ice. If tho city of Charleston, with all its depressions following tho war and tho pauic, was to be bonded for the amount sufficient to secure this important con? nection with the North-west, and tho proceeds of theso bonds could, uuder skillful engineers and able management, be economically and wisely expended in tho construction of such nn avenue, it would probably be the most efficient method for its practical relief from its present despondency, and for tho en? hancement of tho value id all its pro? perty and thu enlargement of its busi? ness interests. I do not understand that such a movement would bo consi? dered practicable at preseut; !>ut such contributions as its citizens uro nblo to muko to accomplish sauh a moans of intercourse between tho important har? bor of Charleston aud the cities of the groat North-west, would seem to me to bo undoubtedly wise. Death of Dn. L. C. Service.?In? formation was received in the city, yes? terday, of the death at Augusta, Ga., of Dr. L. C. Service, who was for many years con;ieoted with tho drug house of Messrs. Phillip Wiuemau A- Co., of this city. Ho died on the 6th inst., of con? gestion of tho brain. The deceased was well known throughout thin State and Georgia, and tho uunouuoeinunt of his douth will be received with sorrow by u large circle of friends. _ [Charleston News.

A TERRIBLE Death.?About 7 o'clock, last evening, the upper portion of the city was shocked by tho report of the death of Mr. Johu J. Bcydeu, nu oldj and tried officer of the Sonth Carolina' Railroad. Tho circumstances attending! the accident are not known, as nobody witnessed it. All that is* known is that! some ono discovered the body lying on! the railroad track near the corner ot Co? lumbus street, surrounded by a pool of j blood, and with every vestige of life ex? tinct. About 7, or a littlo beforo 7 o'clock, the deceased had loft his office at the depot iu Aun street, und walked up tho track to attend to his business, which was the despatching, of trains. In about twenty minutes after he was observed to quit his office, his lifeless body was found on thu track. When the mangled corpse was fouud, it was scarcely cold, und was lying across the track nearest the Eastern sido of the railroad avenue. Both legs were severed from the body below the kueos, the head was badly bruised, aud both arms broken. Tho deceased was about forty uino years old. Ho was born and raised in Charleston. At an early age, he en? tered tho service of the South Carolina Riilroad aa a clerk iu the freight depart* j ment. After serving iu this capacity for some time, ho was promoted to the position of dospatoher of trains, in which capacity ho has served tho com? pany for the past twenty years. He was a kind and bonovolent man, and bis many good qualities endeared him to all with whom ho came in contact. While he was zealous und prompt in tho dis? charge of the respon iblo duties of hie office, ho was kind aud considerate to those who wero uuder him, and among the employees of the road ho was uni? versally esteemed aud loved.
