He commenced vy alluding to the correspond- ence between Gov. Wise aad President Buchan- an, in which the latter did not recognize any con- stitutional power to interfere in the local affairs of the States. Mr. D. read extracts from the Constitution to show that, according to his interpretation, such wer does exist in the Constitution. He had but just commenced when our report closed . In tre Hovsr, after the reading of the journal, Mr. Barksdale, of Miss., said the House of Rep- resentatives was presenting a theme to the people of this country which had but one parallel in our history. For seven weeks they had been in ses- sion, and although ballot after ballot had been taken, no Speaker bad been elected, and no or- ganization eifected; while all this time the great interest of the country had been neglected and suffering. There were upon this floor four par- ties—the Republican, Democratic, Sonth Ameri- can, and anti-l.ecompton. The three latter were opposed to the leading princ! ples of the Republi- ean party. Was it not then the duty of these op- position elemeuts to unite upon some broad, na- tional basis, and thus prevent the success of the Black Republican party ? The Democratic members on this floor had over and over again manifested their disposition to unite with the various elements upon the floor in the selection of any national and conservative man for Speaker; but for himself, rather than have the candidate of the Republican pzrty elected, who had no vote in the fifteen States of this Union: rather than his State and his section should be thus dishonored, Le would have discord re here forever. He attributed the cause of the d organizition of the House to the agitation of the slavery question. He then proceeded at length to examine into the origin, the progress, and the Present aspect of the slavery question tn this country.

A fire occurred about half-past 12 o’clock last night in the large frame house, situated on the corner of Washington and Bridge street. About 12, officers McNeir and Pomroy emises while on duty, and saw no signs of firej they had only got a few squares from it, however, before they heard an alarm, and im- mediately returned back. and reaching the spot found the flames issuing from the intcrior lower rtion, or the store-room of the buildings, which ing very old and of a combustible nature, was soon completely enveloped in flames, barely giving the occupants, Mr. Jas. Cruit and family. time to «scape with their lives. A portion of the same b: i cing was occupied by Mr. R. Nixon asa dwelling and silversmith shop, and Mr. John A. Donaldson as a dwelling house. Mr. Nixon saved a yortion of his furniture and other effects, but Mr. Donaldson lost the whole of his, he and his family barely having time after being aroused Procure their clothing be- driven from the building by the he fire was communicated to another frame house fronting on Washington street, oceu- pied by Mr. James Williams, which was also en- ed, not however before Mr W. had It then caught to the on Bridge street, owned and occupied by Mr. John Carroll asa private dwell- ing, and barber shop, which was occupied by a very worthy colored man by the name of George Ry the time the devouring elements had reached this house, the Vigilant, Union, Western Hose, and Perseverance fire companies had fairly got to work and succeeded in saving it from de- struction, only the roof and a portion of the rear part of it being destroyed. ‘The large house on tue corner where the fire oc- curred, and the one fronting on Wash occupied as before stated by Messrs. Cruit. Donaléson and Williams, belonged to t t least $3,000, ch there isan insurance in the North American Company of $1,000. Mr. Cruit’s loss is about $2,500. upon which he has an insurance of $1,000 in the Firemen’s Insurance Company of ‘arroll’s loss is some 8300 to $500; that of Mr. Nixon about $100, and thet of Mr Donaldson from $150 to S2U0. pression is that it was the work of an incendiary For some time the Presbyterian Church (Dr. Bocock’s) was in imminent danger from the s of burning shingles which fell upon it.
