Bis argument seemed to be based on the theory that Slocum had been an uncompromising rebel, and in pushiug Porter's claim was still a traitor. Slocum liore the galling Are patiently enough for a little whikt but he finally broke Out, declaring that be really began to dCyibt where he stood when the clash of arms was ringing through land. He pointed to a dozen of generals who sat about him, and who almost to a man will give his bill a vote; and asked where they were wheu Horr, of Michigan, were at home? Tho galleries cheered vociferously, the chair hammered with his gavel, and Eoeecrans, who is an uncontrollable war horse, rose upon Uin feet and [weed up and down the chamber as excitedly as if the smell of battle had called into activity the instincts which dominated him twenty years ago. It was a spectacle which will be remembered, but it did not disconcert Horr, who had started out by describing himself as one of the fellows who did no lighting. The debate will not be resumed until Friday uext, when, probably, a vote will be taken. Geo.

New Yob*, Jan. 98.—Ths city at present Is in rested with a great horde of tramps from all parts of the country and representing every oationa.ity nnder the sun. Nightly the station houses, particularly in the lower wards, are so overcrowded with them human parasites that scores are turned away. The same condition of affulrs exists yin the larger cities of New Jersey, in two or three of which, such as Cainden aud Trenton, the nomads are required to saw wood and break stones on the public streets as |iart payni nt for their lodging and meals. As it was the general impression that the genuine tramp had a wholesome dread for work of any description the authorities of those two cities thought the scheme would result in ridding Ibat section of the country of the posts, at least for a while. Tlie tramps djld give Camden and Trenton a wide birth, tait lately they have boon me reconciled to tho situation and are increasing the burdens of the taxpayers by their voracious appetites."Oh, nobody can tell.

President Taylor then took charge of the branch, but. while he greatly increased the business the outstanding debts at Chicago were increased from $40,000 to $00,000. The Newcastle Paper company, which was largely indebted to the Cleveland Paper company, failed recently.

During the next thirty days notes aggregating $75,000 would fall due, and it was thought best to make a general assignment. Edwin 3. Foster has been given charge, aud his bond will probably be fixed at $350,000. The liabilities, in full, will probably reach $300,- 000, and the assets about $235,000.
