Tue Fiorina Coxvestion—Grx. Grant ORpERS THAT THE TIME FOR HOLDING THE ELRgcTION TO RATUry SHALL Not BECHANGED. Reference was made by us on Wednesday to the moyement made by the members of the Constitutional Convention of Florida to have General Meade change the time of holding the election to ratify the new Constitution from May to April. General Meade, under date of Jast evening, telegraphs to Mr. Alden, member here, that General Grant telegraphs his positive opinion that the reconstruction law does not permit military district commanders to change the time of voting after a date has besn fixed upon by the State Convention. General Meade therefore declines to make thin change. Mr Gleason, Republican candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Florida. arrived here last night, direct from Florida.

Hovex or REPResentatives.—By order of the House yesterday, this day was to be de aan general debate as in Committee of fi Higby (Cal.) addressed the House upon the subject of the purchase of Alaska. Hetook position in favor of making an appropriation Yo comspmmate this treaty. If the House of Representatives was really & party to this con- tract, he might side with those who held that po appropriation should be made, but at was really a matter between the Presi- dent, the and the Government of Russia. He drew a parallel between this treaty, and that with France in Gen. Jackson's Administration, and said if the House refused to make the appropriation the Emperor of Rus- sia could compelyt. The House cannot recon. cile this matter between the President and Senate, and our argument must then be di- rected to the Emperor of Russia. He argued that the Emperor of Russia had a perfect right to suppose that the President of the United States and the Senate, as the treaty making feo’ could bind this Government, aud the jouse of Representaves had no right to retuse to make the appropriation. Mr. Banks (Mass.) said an allusion had been made to a treaty with France in Gen. Jackson’ administration, and he would say that that case was similar to the pending one. In that case one branch of the French Government refused to appropriate money, but Gea. Jackson in- sisted that the treaty siipulations should be car- nied out, and they were carried out. Mr. Higby argued that this subject of Alaska pear ' . ‘would repeat that the only ar- nt the Mouse can use must be directed to the ——— of Ruse ‘Mr. Wood, (N. ¥- denied the Tight of tives to withhold appropriations of public money for these purchases of territory,» ‘Mr. Higby said if this wasa question between the President of the Unitea States and the Sen- ate on the one side id this House on the other, he would bave had nodoubdt of the power of this House, but as the case now stood, the treaty had ‘already been made by the treaty making power of this Government, and it is binding upon us and the House of Representa tives to make the appropriation. He contended that this had always been the theory and practice of this Government. That the Era- Peror ot Russia believed he was acting ‘with the treaty-making of the United ‘States, was evident from the fact that Kussia had withdrawn all authority, and had permitted Untied States forces to take undisturbed pos- sestion. The purchase and transfer had been fully consummated, and the Hous» could not now retuse to make the appropriation unless it ‘was disposed to act in bad faith. Mr. Higby then proceeded to argue at great length in favor of the full consummation of the treaty by inaking the necessary appropriation. He believed it was policy and statesmanship to ratify this purchase, and he contrasted Alaska with prosperous countries in the same iatitude to show that the new terriiory might be made a valuable acquisition to the power and wealth of this Government.

No cards.” About two years since, a beautiful young lady, who lived until recently on Price's Hill, and whose father is a man of wealth, made the acquaintance bere of a young Oali_ fornian, who soon subimed her coquettish heart, and obtained her promise to become his wife. The Californian returned to his home, and the fact of the engagement was a secret between him and his love. The young lady correspond- ed with ber lover regularly, and fretted at his Protracted absence. She gratified her love of admiration and devotion by appearing always as one heart-free and band-free. She continned a gay member of lively society, and still, for the excitement of the thing, acted the coquette. Always true in beart to ber engagement, she still admitted of the devoted attentions of sev- eral gentlemen, toat least two of whom, by way of amusement, she engaged herself for mairiage. It was fun for her. but gall tor them in the end. About two weeks ago the Californian re- turned, met the young lady, and with her re newed the vows of two yeurs since’ He then called upon the father atthe counting room, made the fact of the engagement kuown to him; and demanded bis permission to marry the young Iady. The astonished father listened intently to the story, and then made a flat re- fusal, ordering the young maa out of his office. On the day following this, the daughter left her home “to make some calls in the city”—and never returned. She met her lover at the Gib- son House, and soon became his wife, thanks to the Rev. M. P. Gaddis and his own will. On the day follewing her disappearance, it became known that two other young gentlemen had lost Elopem: their hearts at the same shrine at which the | Californian bad won his happiness.
