Washington, F.bruary 17 -Id tbe nrorniug hour the committee on (logu ffioes and post roads called up god tbe bouse passed tbe bill to m ,ke tbe allowances for clerk hire to poai- n asters at first and second class post i fflcee cover tbe cost of the clerical labor In the money order bust ness Also, tbe bill reduolng from 8 to & eents the charge for money orders not exceeding flvedoiiars. At the expiration of the (nprnirig hour tne house went Into a commit tee of the whole on the Fhz John Porter bill. Jjaird, of Nebrrska, delivered a oarefuily prepared argument la sup- port of the bill, maintaining that P rter wiminnocent cfnny disloyally either to Pope or to hie country, and declaring ihru Porler’s enemies had created mountains of dicobedleuce out of mole hills of d'seretion, and that the trial ai d convic’lon o( Por ter had bean a farce. Thecppouente of the bill made tbe cun'ornary appeal to the dead Had the house abdica ted lu favor of the gravi? Why prat- about the deeds of the dead who bad sustained countenance? Why this strut and fret about the almighty dead? Was not their mem cry the common heritage of all? Away with this untimely raising ot tbe dead, lees defensible In debate than body-snatching was in practice An argument which depended on a gha t for its validity w; 8 already un done. If 'he gentlemen would not perm! God's peaceful rest to the dead, then there was oue from all that host whose name he wou.d honor. He need not name him,for on the rolls of.

When the roll should be called be trusted he would be found still follow!'g the e.-.d of his old commander and seeking to do what, if living, Grant would do. by voting for the restoration of F. * John Porter. [Applaus- J Kelly, of Penn ylvanta, opposed the hill, characterizing Porter as a great soldier, who, forgetting oountry ard patriotism, had sunk htmseif lu infamy by regarding c fflee and mili tary duty sb a mere persmal trusi for himself and his clique or coterie Kelly asked leave to have printed with his speech a review of the evi dence given before the court martial prepared by Judge Advocate Holt, bn* Bragg, o' Wisconsin, ohJ-cDd. Oates, of Alabama, made a api ece in support of tho bill and he was lis tened to wi'h great attention, as be based bis argument on his personal knowledge of the incidents of the 29 n of At gust.

There had been a good dial of fighting, but there had bi en to gc-n-ral e gage- men t in the eei se in which that term wus usually employed It was in sisted tha Porter hud been in fault for not making an attack on (hat day The oppcrtuui y of vlc.’i ry hud b-.eu lost when etrly on tbe morning of the 20.h Gen M Dowell am! Por ter with their united forces did not interpose iu front of L>ng?treet at Gainesville They bau together a greater number or men than Long- street, and by interposing they would have delayed his union with Jscksor.; but he did Dot think that even that interposition wculdhave given victory to Pope, for Jackson had a strong position from which be cculd not have been driven. Porter was not to blame for fulling to interpose, for M D >well prevented him, and if anyone was to blame it was M D.iwell Headmtt- t d, in a strict s me of mili'aiy dis cipline, Porter had disobeyed ordeis, but the punishment had been too severe. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, took the floor, but merely declaring that he did not fgtee wi'h the admission made by the last speaker. He post poned further remarks until to-mor row. Weber, of New York, earnestly supported the bill and regretted that Qpon this question he parted compa ny with many politioal friends,whose motives he did not impugn, but Whcea conclusions he could only ex plain as being based on tbe theory that favorable consideration ot tbe bill would v fleet on some whose names were the heritage of the ooan- try.
