THE PRAYER in the House of Representatives this morning was made by Canon Kingsley, of England. The Canon looks to be about 65 years of age; is of erect frame, and has mutton chop gray whiskers. He wore an English clerical looking coat with rolled cuffs, the flaps of which were decidedly new in design hereabouts. After the session of the House began he was visited by many members in the rear of the Speaker's desk. Honors To THE MEMORY OF THE Bx-PRest- DENT.—The Senate adjourned to-day in respect to the memory of ex-President Fillmore. The House of Kepresentatives adjourned at half- past one o’clock in respect to the memory of the ex-President. The death was announced by Mr. Dawes, of Mase., and eulogies were pro nounced by Messrs.

Tho following editorial article from the Indi. anapolis Journal of the 5th inst.will have special interest just now, for the reason that it is based en the personal observations and investigations of its editor, made during a visit here a couple of weeks ago. The article will also have addi- tional weight from the fact that up to the time of its editor’s late visit to Washington the Jour- nol, guided doubtless by the sort of hearsay evi- dence sent out from Washington by careless or malicious correspondents, was rather disposed to criticise unfavorably all matters relating to the District government. The Journal says : - “Tbe reply of Governor Shepherd, of the District of Columbia, to the interrogatories of Congress, seems, on its face, to be a full and frank exposé of the financial condition of the District, and will aid the committee very mate- rially in their investigation. ‘I'he present status of the affair is about this: The committee hay- ing decided, Vogt 4 properly as we think, not to bear the whole burden of the inquiry, nor to enter on the investigation withuut specitic charges, have called on the memorialists to file their complaint, or in*other words to submit their charges, and ‘the latter are now engaged im preparing ‘their case. Meanwhile, in order to expedite matters and clear up as many pre- liminary points as possible, the committee sab- mitted a list of searching interrogatories to Gov. Shepherd, to all the points of which he has an- swered at length, in a document covering nearly 2,000 pages of manuscript. The Governor alsv urges the committee to visit each office of the District government, and, by a thorough per- sonal examination of the’ books, satisty them- selves as to the correctness of his statements. The celerity with which he has prepared his voluminous reply to the committee's questions, and the appsrent frankness and fullness there- of, are calculated to create a good impress'ou, and we sincerely hope, on every account, that the investigation may prove the charges of cor ruption and fraud to have been unfounded. That there have been extravagance ard reck- lessness of expenditure cannot admit of adoubt; but it remaius for the investigation to disclose whether there has been corruption. “The fact that the Board of Pubiis Works ersayed to do the work of about fifteen years in three, almost necessarily involved mistakes of engineering, aud a much greater outlay of money tuan would have occurred had they pro- ceeded slowly, carefully discussing every meas- ure and counting the costoteach step as they along. But their policy was to undertake 4 nd accomplish the gre: possible amount of work in the least possible space of time, and this have unquestionably done. It is cer- tainly safe to say that nocity inthe United States, and we doubt if any in the world, was ever more improved during the same length of time, than Washington has been during the last three years. If a large amount of money has been spent it must be confessed that an amaz- phe pened work has been done, aud that ihe finished improvements are both extensive and beautiful. Fhe question of official fraud or malfeasance we are entirely content to leave with the Investigating Committee, which is thoroughly competent and disposed to do its duty; but as a matter of fact, we feel bound to Say that the improvements in Wash- ington during the last three years are of the most sui Nearly ‘age | character. every street in the city, and in George- town aswell, has been brought to a uniform grade; new streets and avenues have been opened and old ones extended; about one hun- dred miles of Asphalt and Nicholson pavement have been laid; sewers of great le and ca- pacity bave been constructed; wide Spaces of low land have been filled up and made availa- ble for building purposes; a noxious canal, which formerly bred pestilence and death, has been converted inte an attractive drive; two shambling and dilapidated market-houses haye been torn down and replaced—the one by a beautiful park, and the other by a spacious and ornamental market building; and, in short, the city has been samen metamorphosed. or low much, if any, of illegitimate speculation fraud may have accompanied this vast scheme of improvement is for the committee to decide; but it isdue to Governor Shepherd to Say that he seems di to afford them every aga facility in prosecuting their investiga- ssee- DaMaGE To THE Frutt.—Reports from both Dover and Milford, elsewhere printed, Say that the severe and sudden alt ons c: heat and cold last week have done injury to the peach buds.

THE NORTHERN LIBERTY MARKET COMPAN ¥ Mr. Chipman to-day filed # memorial of the president of the Northern Liberty Market com pany, of Washington, D, C., which sets forth that on May 5th, 1870, Congress passed an act entitled ‘‘An act to provide for the creation of corporations in the District of Colambia, &:.. and that in pursuance of section 4 of said act he and his assoviates did, on the 23d of Febru- St: incorporate themselves as the Northern Liberty Market company, for ng on mar- keting business, and that’since said incorpora- tion conflicting opinions have been ex by persons learned in the law that sai t of ‘ay 5th is not sufficiently explicit to accom- plish the object sought for in said act, and the company, therefore, ask for the Figo od of an t to remove all doubts as to the legality of said se@tion 4 of the act of May 5th.

He was conscious up to the time of his-death, which was painiess. Millard Fillmore was born at Summer Hill, Cayuga county, New York, January 7, 1800. As a boy he had but few educational advantages, but by perseverance and hard study he became ® good English scholar, and at the age of 19 began the study of the law, which he com- menced practising in 1823. He practised before the supreme court of the state, and in 1&32 asso- ciated himéelf in practice with the late Judge Hall (who bad been a student in his office), and in 1836 the late Hon. Solomon G. Haven was ad mitted to the firm, which under the name of Fillmore, Hall & Haven had a state reputation and lasted until 1539. From 1829 to 1832 Mr. Fiil- more served in the New York state assembly, where he became marked by his advocacy of the act to abolish imprisonment for debt, passed in 1831. He was a member of Congress for three terms—1833-"5 and 1837-'41—and a portion of the time chairman of the Committee of Ways and Means, in which position he originated the tariff law of 1842. In Congress Mr. Fillmore acted with the whigs. He favored the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia and of the ve trade between the states, opposed the ad mission of Texas as a slave state, and advocated & protective tariff. From 1842 to i847 he prac- tised his profession at Buffalo, but in the latter year was elected etate controller. His nomination as Vice President on the whig ticket with Gen. Taylor in 1813 was generally attributed to the great political influence of Thurlow Weed. President Taylor lived but one year and four months to enjoy his high office, when Mr. Fillmore became the thirteenth Pres. ident of the United States. In his cabinet were successively Daniel Webster and Edward Ev- erett as Secretaries of State; Thomas Corwin, Secretary of the Treasury; Chass. M. Conrad, of La., Secretary of War; Wm. A. Graham, of N. C., and John P. Kennedy, of Md., Secreta- fies of the Navy; Alex. H. H. Stuart, of Va., ey the Interior; Nathan K. Hall and Samuel D. Hubbard, Postmasters Gener: John J. Crittenden, Attorney General. U: nis administration @ bill was passed abolishing the slave trade in the District of Columbia. ‘The passage of the fugitive slave bill and Pree- dent Fillmore’s signature thereto caused great excitement at the north, where the administra- tion lost favor in the eyes of the anti-slavery party without gaining the adherence of the pro- brsige ns. ie result was the death of the whig party, whose last president Millard Fillmore was. At the end of hia term he re- turned to Buffalo, and in 1855-6 visited Edrope. In the fall of 1856 he became the presidential candidate of the American party, but the move- ment most wofully miscarried, and.as one of the results Mr. Fillmore was defeated. Since that time he has not mixed with litics, though it is understood thac his predilections have been towards the democr: as the conservative party of the country. At home he has alway been: red and respected, and haa held the = Of president of the Buffalo Historical b> ys enjoyed other tok: a of his neighbors.” —— and inder ———$$$____ Prick or Coat.—The Pottsville Miners’ Journal, March 6th, Says: ‘No more anthracite coal was sent forward than was absolutely wanted, mo Sarees were reduced on Monday last.
