The ugh stated as a fact that the Rcpuolican members of Congress are seriously discussing the propriery of making tlie army appropriations cover the next two years, for the alleged reason thst the Democratic House will refuse to appro- money to be paid ihe army engaged in the Southern States, such an ecregious act of folly and expression of partis-inship can hardly be credited. To be sure the idea is said to have origiLated with a notorious Massachusetts mem- her, who, retiring at the end of the present session, desires to leave as much mischief behina him as possible as a legacy to the country, but -uch a gross offence against decency and regular legislation can hardly be serioasly contemplate i by a Congressional majc-rity. Though there i- KOtbiug in the Constitution to pi event -uchaction, the impropriety of it at the present time is appa- rtnt to the most ignorant citizen, inasmuch as a vexy imperiect idea can now be obtained of the wants ot two years hence. I'ht Democrats canno' afford to refuse appropriations for the regular army even if they desired to, and they have no s-uch wish. They only object lo the arbitrary us; tl at has been made of tbe military arm of the service, and to nothing more.

the other hand, it would puzzle the Radicals just what to make aj prrpriations Kr. If a war with is a part of tbe party prosrramme, an appropriation suffi- eiint to cover it would expose them, while the regular amount would kave them as badly off etcr.

WaSHINQTOX, J.iN. 24, GEN. JAMES WATSON WEBB, late United States Envoy Extraordinary to Biazil, IS sending out, with his compliments, pamphlets cortaining his case against Hamilton Fish and E. R.

There are two propositions cf some importance beioie the House Military Committee that will probably receive consideration this week one is for sn increase of the army to about twice the present gtreneth. This will be pressed vigorously, and tbe chances are that it will be favorabl.v re- by a majority of the Committee. Republicans insist very strongly that the army ought to te doubled in strength in order to preserve peace in tbe South; Western Congressmen want an incrtase on account of the Indians. The of War of course favors the proposition, as do the -officers of the army generally who desire promotion, and lose no opportunity to impress tbeir views upon their friends in Congress. Altogether, the infiuence in favor of the increase was never ao strong as it is to-day.

The second propositicn is that which was by tbe President in his recent Message, to appropriate for the manufacture of heavy guns. Tins will, no doubt, be reported favorably by the Committee, as it has repeatedly been urged upon them by our highest military officers. DELEGATE CASE. The minority report from the House Committee ou Elections makes some pertinent points against tbe expulsion of Delegate Cannon, the Mormon polygamic Representative from Utah. The report Mr.

Cannon is new under indictment in the courts of Utah for polygamy, and contends that it would be an act ol great injustice topre- jndge the case. Besides, it is a senous question wi'cther the subject of expulsion on moral or im- motal grounds should be If the House is to iiK(uire into the moral fitness of members where will tbe inquiry stop?

Asotber in his care was that of Hickson W. a wealthy gentleman at present in Euroiie.aml a part owner of the New York Hotel proporty. These are all the trusts which il is lliought were drawn by Mr Nicoll.

No far as ean be from tbe character of the assets and the amounts the total lou will not run much over $200.000, and may run below thst figure. As soon as the trouble was discovered lawyers were engaged to look after the property yet remaining in Mr care, aud to a84 ertain where, and when the missing lunds had disappeared, and what could be taken for their reeoveiy.

This is the theory of the detence, and there is iherelore no iniiiscretion or violation of laitli in allii'ling to it. Victory at all other points is useless if Moulton's testimony remains 'Filton, with his sad, deflant Beecher haggard and prematurely old. Mrs Beecher shooting withering at Moulton aud Beach, Mrs Tilton posing in tbe cli.aracterof a gentle, clinging flower, are only tne background of the figlit that surges around chair.

fFrooa tbe York Xlnces, Jan, ES.J Gen. Tracy, continuing the cruSs-examinatiun, did so in a manner which gave ample indication ol its Incisi venees. He asked Moulton if he had accompanied Mr Tiiton Mrs Woodhnll to Mr presence to ask Beecher to preshJe at lectnre. Moulton that be bail not. Tins was the initial point ot a long series of interrogatories hich tollowed.aml the audience were filled with expectation as to the result sougbt, which was Hinilly by Mr Kvarts during the course of the day.

Every question in relation to this subject was rc- tiardtd ith the undivided attention of tbe audience, nd Hie greatest was roanife.sted in the answers ol the witness. Mr Beecher many suegestioDs lo Mr Kvarts, who con.sulted with i.eE. Tracy. Mrs Tilton threw off her shawl aud raised her veil, so that slie might hear and observe more closely, and Mrs leaned iorward in her chair and never removed her eyes from Moulton, smiling as if well pleased with the style of the questioning. Moulton, without a tremor or hesitation, laughed in Gen.

luce, and every now aud then addressed the reporters aronnd him in a way. The jnry Hiorouglily fascinated with the style of and witness. As an instance oj coolness, he was askeii if he knew that Tilton, whom he accompanied to Steinwav Hall, at the YVoodhull lecture. He said, in reply, that Mrs Woodhull had no one to introduce her, and that Tilton walked across the stage, with his coat on his arm, and intro- duceti her. On being asked whether Tilton he said that he occupied the chair, it that was what was meant by presiding, Gen.

liacy said he left that for the witness to determine. Moulton, with a smile, replied that he wished to answer correctly. Tilton first Woo ttMill aud then took the chair. The lawyers and politicians in Court appreciated the point, and Gen. Tracy, though worstett, could not help smiling himself.

Moulton declared the lecture to be one on the relations of man to woman and woman to man. This definition, given with Hie greatest gravity, causetl additional mcrnmcut. 5Vben pressed, he Hiat the lecture might be as an exposition ot love doctrines, but added that he pot precisely know the nature of ft-ee love. This line of questioning, which much amusement, was temporarily abandoned lor the consideration of the Bowcn-Tillon contracts. Moulton testified that when, as agent, he called on Bowen regarding the contracts.

Bowen said he did not owe Tilton any money. A long argument followed whetlier the itness should be asked if Bowen gave any leason such an assertion. The question was finally allowed, and Moulton, with a smile on his face, tlisap- nninted every one by saying that be uol think Rowen gave any reason. THE JOKE. (From the New York KeraJd, Jan.

The defeat of Kvarts by the Judge, wlio ruled out the Lite of Woodtmll, by Tilton, in a senteuce, de- CKletl but courteous, was a back-set for the and greatly relieved counsel. Mr Beecher looked annoyed until the Judge, as il to give parallel reasoning, saiil Suppose he had writftm the life of Bowen Would that be evidence made Beecher langh. and laughed while noting an exception.

I saw her yesterday iu a splendid crimson-lined clarence, going down town, with the tallest hat and feather that brushed the flies from the carnage top; such a hair on herarml and such lace tnmmiug on her dressi and generally and mitioiely got up regardless! but. withal, a lady horn and bred, and sbe earned it like a queen, I stopi'crl and looked at the whole picture and 1 may salely say I felt glad.

There ts no use in trving to convert this community to legitimate bnsiness. as it is termed. Tbe question arises, What is legitimate business in this country What siarted the country What has made it waat It is Wliat brought us all here Was it agriculture? Did wbeat buihi this big city Is it tbe work ol the Granger or the miner? California was, ant still IS, a mining country and it is useless to talk alKiut the great agricultural interests.

When I see some conceited old ass shaking bead and prating about this sinful departure from legitioiate business, this reckless just waut to rap him over his old cwoa- uut and tell him to shut it must necessarily be the case that such promise ot great profits to a reckless disregard of all pnulence, anu often leads to bnt is not its simile found in all pursuits?

Didn't they get up a corner on i-abbits ip about a vear ago, and the seventeen mdlions of Japs went mad and put their every dollar the damios down to the coolies, just did, and I believe royalty itself took a few chances on cotton tails. I have seen a caiiipot Digger Indians go into a pertectly frantic state over a game of seven up between two chiefs for a heavy of drien grasehopoers. They were only a couple of Vanderbilts and Drews on a seale, and there probably was as much more at stoke proiH-inionaiely as on a game ot trie, and un- as lair a deal.
