WASHINGTON , Feb. 11. ( Special Tele-
grain.J For several months n panorama
company has been constructing n building
nnil putting ut ) a large exhibition hmc. It Is
proposed to display thobatllo of Dull Hun on
an Immense cam as and nfter the st > loot Iho
battle ot Gettjsburg at Chicago and the stego
of Paris ul New Orleans , etc. A fewdajs
ago Information \ \ as iccclu'd bv a po't of
the grand army hero that the exhibition
would bo purely confederate In Its teachings ;
that \\ould show the confederate side of
this bloody contest , and Ignoio the struggles
of the men who fought to piusuivo the union.
This Information was iccolved with a laigo
grain of allowance , and the old \cturaiis did
not believe th.it such an olfiontciy rnnld
bo Imposed at the capital of the nation ,
which Is frequented by cveiy people on the
globe , but a committee was appointed to
ascertain the truth of the icpoit. The build-
ini ? , a large bilck. structure , located near the
a ilcultuial department , and now and
handsome , Is Mulshed , but the Interior Is not
quite completed. A member of the commlt-
tco managed to get Insldo to-day , when the
truth of the statement became apparent.
There was the painting and the deceptive
surroundings , the whole picture of the san
guinary engagement , with l.ongstrecl and
Stonewall Jackson and their army of giay
co.its under the stars and bans , dilvlng the
Ivdcrals back pell niell , a victoiy In ovciy
lineament for the "lost cause. " The paintIngs -
Ings of the confederate ofllcersaic described
as being very line.
To-night the ( Jiand Anny post ot this
tllstiicl adopted the following :
Whereas , in the city of Washington Is
being elected for the purpose of exhibiting a
panorama of the scene of the battle of Bull
linn ; and
Whereas , ' The wild battle was an unex
plained victoiy lor the rebel aims and a
humlliatinc defeat for the union army ,
llesolved , That It is Iho sense of this post
that the soldiers of the ( traml Aimy of the
Republic should discourage the pationago of
paid exhibition , because it is designed to
gratify the spirit of treason and pcipctuatc
in the memory of the people the tiiumph of
rebellion and one of the nio.it humiliating
defeats sulTcicd by the union aimy during
( lie Into war.
SAn.T.X PASSED THE SI'.NATn.

Senator Wilson informed your correspoml-
ent that ho would look closely alter the

lands will icpoi t the bill favoiably to-mor-
low , so that the bill that was passed
by the senate to-day can be called fiom
the speakers table and passed without taking
the usual cause ot icfeicncoto the committee ,
etc. The bill was passed by the senate in the
last congress , but was not reached in the
house. Senator Wilson says ( hero is no doubt
about Its passage now. The bill con In ins the

amendment was oidered pi luted.
I'mcccdlng to the calendar , the senate look
up bills In thcli order.
Some bills for pilvatc lellcf wcic disposed
of.
of.The
The bill to regulate promotions of West
1'oint graduates was icached. On this some
discussion aiosc.
Mr. Sow ell. In reply to an Inquiry of Mr.
Plumb , said this was the firbt je < < r for a long
time when there would bo more lieutenants
graduated from West Point than theio would
be vacancies for In the aimy.
After considerable debate the bill passe I as
reported from the committee.
At a o'clock the education bill was laid ho
foio tlio senate , and Mi. Morgan took llio
floor on It.
The bill. Mr. Morgan said , was a bill to
create ofliccs and elaborate the machtuciy of
the government. It was a bill to tax the hon
est , haid working man In older to educate
the children ot thu drunken , loafniL' vaga
bonds , who would not woik lor their fami
lies. If from tlio C0,000,000 people in
the United States weic to bo deducted all
the deadheads , dcadbeats auduou-pioducois | ,
there would bo about 20.000,000 , who would
have to pay tax-cs to carry out the piovisions
of the bill. The bill itself would be equiva
lent to tax S'l per capita on these payois ,
and by the time all the officers wcie appoint
ed foi the administration of this scheme of
benevolence , and all the cleiks appointed
that would bo ncce aiy to Investigate the
accounts of the thhtj-eight states
ana ten teiiltories affected by the
bill , It would bo found that
the tax per capita would be S10 Instead of
three. If United States senators wcie men
who plowed the Holds orvvoiked the smiths ,
and paid taxes out of tlio sweat of their blow ,
Mr. Morgan could have moie icspcct for them
when voting away the money of one man to
educate the children of another. Tlio con
stitutional gionnd for the bill , Mi. Morgan
continued , was haid to be found in the "gen
eral wcllaie" cl.uiso ot tlio preamble of the
constitution. Such an application of that
clause simply meant that you could pull dow n
the man that got up by his own o.xertioA
In order to put up thodiunkcn loafer that
would not exeit himself. The best people in
the United States vvero those who , in
, tha backwoods , in the fear of God
and having icspect for good order and
the morals of society , had biought tip
around their own footstools and hearth
stones honest , sincere , dllligout and faith
ful sous and diUigbteis. Mr. Moigan charac
terized Mr. Blairs idea as ono Involving the
light of congicss to educate the childicn ot
the several states without the consent of tlio
.states.
Mr. Blair interposed to saythat he regarded
the prlmaiy duty of education to rest with
the parents , but inasmuch as education was
Indispensable of the existence of a liee gov
ernment , If the parents , whether from in
ability or disinclination , failed In the pcrloi-
mauco of duty , that dutv fell to the states
and on our republic. If the state proper and
parent botli tailed , then it became the duty of
the republic to educate the child , slnco the
child would tro a citi/en not only of tlio state
but of the United States. This , however ,
was a powci that should be exeiciscd only in
the last icsort.
Mr. Call asked Mr. Morgan If he denied
the light of the United States to uiako a
donation to a state lor any piuposc.
Mr. Moigan replied tliat no could conceive
of such a case.
This point was debated at length.
Dlf the bill was to bo passed , however. Mr.
Moigan wanted to see It amended , and .sug
gested certain amendments , one of which
was agreed to , making the fiscal jear of the
United States tlio year contemplated by the
bill , and excluding fiom thu monies liable to
bo used for the pin poses of the bill
all moneys drawn from loans ,
customs or Inteinal levenuo , or
liom the postal or consular service , or the
patent office. Mr. Moigan drew a bioad dis
tinction between monies deilvcd liom taxa
tion aim monies deiiveil fiom sales ot public
lands , which constituted a tiust lor all the
people of the United States , and maintained
that if money was to bo given to u Mate It
bliould como Irom the moceeds of those lands.
At this point Mi. Morgan yielded for an
executive session , after which the senate ad
join ned until Monday.

bill.Tho
The debate was opened by Mr. Haynes of
Nuw Hampshlioi In binipoit of the bill. The
stioncest piojudlcu which ho had over entci-
tallied had been auralnst Potter , but it had
disappeared when ho piocecdcd to examine
the case. He did not snaio in the estimate of
Pope enteilalned by many ol Poitei's
f i lends , but ho believed that If any other of
Pope's generals had been In Porter's place ,
and had acted as Porter had acted , tliero
would never have been a court maitlal , and
no union general of that campaign would
have suffered for more than twenty years a
htlgma worse than death. It had been
1'oiler's dlbie&pectful and inexcusable allu
sions to Pope that had singled him
out as an object of suspicion and
as an object of revenge. Porter
had been ono of the giowleis , and
his punishment had been out of all inopor-
tlon to his offense. Botli Lincoln ami Giant
at ono time had equally believed In the jus
tice of Poitei'fl sentence , but Giant , when the
oppoitunlty had been given < oi a calm , dis
passionate mviewot the case , had pioelaimed
the Injustice of the veidlct and became the
eaiuest champion of Portei'a cause , and he
was a bold man who dares Impugn the mill
taryjudemcnt of U. S. Grant. If Lincoln
had lived ho ( Haynes ) believed that Lincoln
and Grant would have stood together In a
demand for justice to Klt/-loliu Porter.
Mr. Steele took the floor In opposition lethe
the bill , and premised his speech with the re
mark , "What In thunder aio wo here for ?
Wh > ; are wo di ciissini : Kltr-John Poitcr ? ' '
This question ho ' aid had boon asked bv a
number of members of the house , and at least
one democrat had added that tlio democrats
wcro golnc to vote for It any how. llo
( Steele ) believed that this was true , but ho
would not be deterred fiom giving icasoiis
why ho would vote asralnst It. Popes famous
older , ho said , should and could have been
easllv oboyed. If Jackson matched that
night could not Porter have also marched ?
Theio was not a soldier In the house but
know that it was Porter's duty to obey thu
older.
After some further debate Ihe committee.
lose and the house adjourned.

ment In favor of the foifelttiro of the land

vlded that the load should bo completed by 1
'
thu-tthof July , lh7T , vvhcicas not a mile o't
road was built beyond the Mlssouii liver at
that time. "Tlio only aigumciit , " said Mr.
Voorhees , "which can b.i made In favor of
the ralhoad company is that eongicss having
once iimdu the grant cannot withdraw It ,
oven though the dliect letter of Iho contract
between the iroveinment ami llio rallioad

any United States couit has the i Ight to de-

f-rniNoin's : nousi : DAKOTA HIM , ,
The justice ot the claims of llio people ot
Dakota to have their tenitory divided , and to
have the Mnithcin 01 most populous part ad
mitted to the union , is vciy icadlly seen by
the manner in which the majoilty p.utyln.
the house attempt to evade the claims of the
people. All soils of schemes for admitting :
thcteiiitoiy as a whole and for dividing it
by otlici lines than that ol the forty-sixth
parallel have been offered. The powcilul
statesman , William M. Spiingcr of Illinois ,
Is the last to have made a dllatoiy move.
His bill Is substantially the same as that
which Delegate Josephs ot Now Mexico In-
lioduced home time ago , In that It divides the
teiiltoiy by the Missouri ilver. It has , how
ever a leatuio which Is moio com
mendable than Iho provisions ot the
Josephs bill ( hat which piovidcs for
an election to bo held no.xt November.
Mi , Spiingcr ptofesscs to believe that this
bill will pass the house. Ho may bo right ,
bul it certainly would novel past , the scimlo
on lop of the mcasuio which Senator Haul-
son o successfully worked through the upper
house. Dakota people of all shades of politi
cal faitli do not believe that the people of the
teiiitoiy would ovcriatily such a measuie as
tills of Mr. Spilugci's. They claim that the
only division thai is wanted Is that by the
ioily-nln th parallel , and they asscit lliat it
would be useless to pass such a bill as the
Spi Ingor bill bci-aiiso it would never lecclvo
