Saturday, originated in Low street, in an upper stary of an end building. The cause of ihe conflagra- Uon is not known, though of course there are many theories, but time alone will show what is the true view. The whole of Low street, on both sides, is totally destroyed, as are also Seneca, Centre, and Spruce streets, to the city limits. No oil was destroyed, and the damage to the oil shipping and business is very slight. At one time the destruction of the whole city was feared, and the office of the Oil City Mcnitor was with difficulty saved. No build- ings on the west side of the creek were burned. A terrific tornado swept over Honesdale, Pa., Monday evening. The immense coyered bridge spanning the Lackawanna river, at Sixth street, was bodily lifted a distance of six feet im the air and fell into the river a mass of ruins. Barns, outhonses, &c., were demolished. Trees and sticks of timber filled the air. flying like shingles. The course of the tornado was first from west to east. It then turned Went sudth. veering again it northeasterly course. No lives were lost. Terrell, the murderer, was captur eitivens of Shelbyville, Ky., Sarda: sentto Louisville.

The afternoon session was devoted to the consideration of the claims of the Southern Theological Seminary at Greenville, S. C. Addresses were made by Professor Boyce. Dr. Sameon, Dr. Faller, Dr. Lechenor, Mr. Poin- dexter, and others. In the course of the re- marks of Dr. Samson, who is president of ColumbianCollege, Washington city, he alluded to certain suspicions attached to himself and others who were over the border. For Dimself, he could say tnat since 1844, at the disruption of the old triennial convention, he had known the Southern States were right, and he knew, too, the Southern people were right. His Bible told bim their peculiar institution was Tight. He had suspicions attached to him before, and came near imprisonment in Baltimore. He was near saying he had no country ‘now, for he resided in the District, where there was scarcely @ vestige of civil rights left. If he had said anything that might offend any one at the head center from which he came, all he could say was that it would only cause him to have a free home. Dr. mn spoke and elicited the heartiest manifestations of sympathy. Dr. , of Baltimore, arose and said that he had been astonished to hear of any suspicion attached to him or his brethren. . On the 24th inst., Mr. Poindexter, of Va.,re- ported as a substitute for the 2d article of the constitution the provision of the original in- strument as passed at Augusta in 1545.

Livy, Esq., President of the Board of Aldermen, for the able, prompt, and impartial manner in which he has discharged the Tesponsible duties of the chair daring the Sixty-third Conncil, now about to close. ‘ Mr. Lioyd then addressed the Board as fol- lows. Aldermen: I thank you for the expression ot your approbation centained in the resolution vhat you have it passed. It has been my earnest effort to merit such approval of an bon: fair. and impartial discharge of my duties as presiding officer of your Board. The task bas not been a difficult ore. On every side I have been sustained by your kind cour- tesies. A disposition to discard all prejudice and feeling, and to work together unitedly in furthering the best interests of the city, has seemed to pervade all minds; differences of opinion which haveexisted here, and mustex- ist im al legisiative bodies, in regard to the various questions presented to them, ave been wisely compromised, so thrat hours and evenings of precious time, formerly consumed in useless, and sometimes rancorous debate, have, during the past year, been devoted to long neglected and important measures affect- ing vitally the health, convenience, and com- fort of the residents of Washington. J must congratulate you on the inauguration of a sys- tem of sewerage, which in time will relieve us from the charge so frequently made of not caring for the health of the people. = miles of capacions sewers have been con structed, rivalling the far-famed sewers Paris, and laws bave been passed anthor their construction in all our pri oughfares. Our streets are bei PAVElucucs In'd, sea walls cons Streets opened and graded, a: a pac to unprecedented in"the manana ar School houses bave been built, others con- tracted for and in process of erection which excite the admiration of our fellow country- men in our principal cities. The ts of our police are not being neglected. ¢ ommodious and well-ventilated station houses are being erected by which the sufferings of erring hu- manity may be alleviated and the unfortunate cared for. The «poor we have always with us,” and it has mattered not during the Jong, cruel and devastating war trom which we have recently gloriously emerged, from what- ever quarter they came, food and shelter were provided for them by the Corporation. In what city of the Union has a larger amount been spen: for medical attendance and medi- cines for the virtuous outdoor poor! Tens of thousands of dollars have been appropriated for this purpose, and distributed not only to our own citizens, but to those of every Staie in this Union, black or white. What city in the Union can present a more honorable record for the Union than ours! None. Upwards of thirty thousand volun- teers tallied around the standard of their country in her peril, a large proportion of them in 1s61, determining then, sink or swim, live or die, to stand by the old flag. Was not this a glorious effort of patriotism, in view of the fact. thatthe Declaration of Independence is practicaily abrogated, with reference to the people of the District of Columbia? It has been said that “taxation without rep- resentation is tyranny.” If this be a truism, tben the levying of taxes and raising of men, in the District of Columbia, for the prosecution ofany war is tyranny, and unauthorized by republican institutions. We esteem it, how- ever, & great privilege to have been permitted toexertour feeble efforts in the cause of the Union, and only ask Congress that our inhe- rent right of self-goverment be not taken from us; end that ail the privileges belonging to American citizens may be guaranteed to the citizens resident of the District of Columbia. What have we done that our charter should be taken from us! Are these Councils corrupt, and recklessly squandering the money in- trusted to their charge t From 1620, the period when the first charter was granted, to the —— day no charge of corruption or mal- easance in office has been made against any member of either Board. Has there been any jack of patriotism during jthe recent struggle for a second independence? Examine the records in the Adjutant General's office, and Ube question is answered. Coming from what- ever quarter it may, I hold myself ready to prove, by facts and figures, that the People ot the District of Columbia haye been honest, true and loyal, and tbat they deserve the ap- proval of their countrymen. We are con- trolled by the Congress of the United States and the Executive. but it is a sad commentary upon republican institutions that the voice of eee American citizens is not Tegarded by these crss whom it is temporarily devolved the prote T thank \On ARUEIBUTERS.

Mr. Hall introduced a resolution of thanks to Lieutenant General U.S. Grant, which con- tained & proviso exempting his property from taxation. Mr. Dudley said he had no objection to ten- dering the thanks of the Board to Gen. Grant, but did not think that the © ration had the Tight to exempt the property of an individual from taxation.

In the cource of bis addr President remarked’ “The business of this Council, in which we have been pleasantly associated for the past yeur, bas been brought toa close. It does not become me to attempt any review of its legis- lative acts. These will undergo the seratiny of minds more impartis and be passed vpon by voices much more po- tential. Though much bas been done for the improvement and benefit of the city, much more would have been accomplished if the revenue of the Corporation had heen commen- surate with the inclinations of its members to advance the municipal interests of which they were made the temporary guardians. With lighter taxes than those of the preceding year, every branch of the government has been sus- tained, many important improvements effect. ed, the health of the city preserved, and that deservedly popular and traly beneficent or. ganization known as the public schools en- larged in its accommodations, without so far #8 we know. the incurring of any addttionat debt.
