Thornton, the mew British Minister, was duly ‘presented to President Johnéon to-day, at tho White House, by Mr. Secretary Seward, and dotivered his Jetter of ‘crodence from her Majesty Queen Victo- wa to the President, At the appoiated time, alf-past leven o'cté&ck im the forenoon, Mr. Thornton arrived at tho White House in his car- riage, accompauied by Mr. Ford, the first Secretary of Logation, and on alighting therefrom was uskered into the Blue Room, where Mr, Johnson and Mr, Sowerd were awaiting hie arrival, Both Mr. Thorn- tén and bis Secretary were in full court dress, with co¢ked hats and swords, and created quite a ‘utter as ‘they passed irrough the assemblage of tadies and gon- omen who were in the vestibule ready to participate 4n a ceremony which is'never of a ‘public character, Mr. Seward formeliy presented Mr. Thornton to tho President ae the Eavoy of her Britannic Majesty, when “he delivered the following address :— Sin—I have the henor to deliver into ‘your Excel- Jency’s bands a letter addressed to you by her Majesty Quoen Victoria, ecoreditidg me az her Majesty’s Minister to your Excellency, ihave also recetved hor y ordere'so assure your Excellency of her ‘sincere {riend- ship, apd of tno degp interest she takes in the welfare and prosperity vf the nation over ahich you. so wortiiy preside, Her Majesty’s government and the English nation are deeply grateful for tbe wari) sympathy shown by the — peo- plo of the United States on the deat! of my Jamented predecessor, Allow me to assure your ExceHeucy that I shall do my best to take his Dlace in their-afiections, and to strengthen the relations of cordiat friendship which happily subsist, and which it 15 our earnest desire and our duty as Kinsmen to maintain ‘between the two countries, In this pleasing task ! am comfdent that I may count upon the support and aseigianes of your Excellency, es weil as of the dis- tinguisbed statesmen woo compose your Cabinet and the Legislature of this nation ‘Tho President replied to this address as follows:— ‘Me, Tuerxroy—Your- Queen enjoys more highly than any otber sovereign (he respect and sympathy of the Amorcan people. The people of the United States well believe that she is entirety sincere in the kindly mes- sage which, under her command, you have delivered to me, andthis belie? will encourage them to hope for a specdy end amicable adjustment of matters in differ- ence between ber Majesiy’s government and the gov- @roment of the Unied States. Your late predeces- gor, Sit Frederick Bruce, witbout any disobedience to instfoctions or any want of regard wo British intereste, won the respect and esteem of this government and nation. Sir Frederick's suddon death revealed 0 ourselves the fact tha, the = friendship we cherished for him bad even acquired. the intensity of fraternal aifection. It wiil be a pleasing duty for me to extend to you the same consideration and confideuce which he so emi- nentty enjoyed. In regard to the political relations of ‘the Duited States and Great Britain only one thing seems to be necessary, which 18 that the statesmen and jeof the two countries may carefully and con- stantiy study to conform their measures to the political logic which, in every region woere the English lan- wages spokon, go distinctly manifests itself in the \creasing line of constitutional freedom and the rapid march of a common, irresistible and indivisible civili- uation. The War Department Difficulty. ‘The.Johnson-Grant correspondence forms at present tho steple of conversation with politicians of all grades 4a this city, The veracity of the statements and coun- ter statements is vory freely canvassed, and each of the two dictiuguisbed disputants has his set of warm be- Jievers and admirers. The radicals are perfectly satis- fied with General Grant’e unsupported version against ‘that of the President, endorsed by four members of his Cabinet The Jatter is now receiving all the abuse of ‘the party in tenfold incroased volume for being, as they aseert, instrumental in placing Grant in a falee hght Defore the country, to the injury of his well earned repu- tation. The democrats, ov the other hand, profess to see the cloven hoof of Stauton in Grant's last letter of reply, and in the haste with which the palpably incom- plete correspondence—incemplete so far as having no Fesponse from the President to Grant’s fimal letter—was sent to the House of Representatives, They alse accuse Grant of duplicity if withholding from the President his rea! reason for acting as ho did, which was, as he admits x the correspondence, because he appremended that the President would appoint under the act of February 20, 1863, some person not agreeable vo the Fadicals, who could hold the office for a term of at least six months, until a regular nominaton was ratified by The questien ie divcussed here in connoc- ‘ant’s expressed doubts upon the matter, Whether ihis act of 1863, entitled “ An act temporarily to supply vacancies in the Executive departments in Certain cases” is repealed by any subsequent legisiatwo, Nothing, however, can be found im the statutes passed by Congress since the date of the act mentioned nulli- fying the came, But Secretary Stanton gave General Grant to understand that it was repealed, and this, as the. General states, influenced bis action materially, Yet it was a very easy tack to oscervain definitely whethor the Jaw was tit] In force or not, That it is in force and of a very inconvenient character may be gathered from the resolution offered by Senator Fessenden to-day that the Judiciary Committee be instructed to inquire into the propriety of modifying this aci—the nature of the modificatian Guggested being intended to cut of the Provision of six months, (he limited time allowed to any person temporarily appointed to office by the President, It is clear that neither Secretary Stenton nor General Grant gave much attention te the correct reading of the statutes of Congress, or even to come very recent eases Which have occurred demonstrating that the act of February, 1963, is stil] a law and that the President has already mace an appointment under its provisions <-Mm the instance of Mr, Edward Cooper, who 18 entitled jo hold the office of Assistant Secretary of the Trea. fears for six. months pending the regular appointinent, am enabied to state on ihe best authority that a repiy Genoral Grapt's last tetior, included in the corre- ndence which was transmitted to the Howse of Rep- ‘Wocentatives hy Mr Btanton, has been prepared by the President, and will be delivered to General Grant to nwarow. That there wasa conspiracy betweem Geore- dary Stanton, Genera: Grant and certain members of Cowgress, bavizg for its object the publication to the ef the correspondence before the President could make any reply to the bighly disrespectful letter of Graai, is becoming plaiser as the circumstances femding the atnir aro beier kuown, It is arell understood hero that thoe eoncarned in @ho plot feared the effect of another ¢ manication from the White House; thoy wore appre.

A movement is being made for tho call of a National Convention, to be assembled at Cincinnati, Ohio, to represent the producing industries of the United ‘States, The cbaracter of the cenvention will probably be somewhat political as well as material, it being the invent to place the gevernment and its policy under the control of the producing interests. The convention will be called under the auspices of the “National Cheap Freight Railway League,’ and candidates for President and Vice President to represent the intorests of prodac- tion will, without doubt, be put in nomination. The Case ef Associnte Justice Field. ‘Tho statement that Representative Wilson, of Towa, the Chairman of tho Judiciary Committee, has given testimony upon the cage of Judge Field, is not correct. The Telegram states tbat the committee were in session again this morning. ‘he editor of the newspaper of Ubis city in which the accusation was first pub- tishod was examined. He disowned the author- ship of tho charge, stating that the article was handed in just before going to press, The gentleman refused to give the namo of the writer of the paragraph at present, but would confer with the person, amd, if congent were given, he would divulge the name; if othermnse, he would be obliged to witnhold the informa. tion, The committee postponed a further hearing until Monday next. Thecommittee are determined to give the caso a thorough ventilation. They consider the reso- hution of the Honge as exacting no other course, Visit of Mr. Dickens to the President. Charles Dickens calied at the White House this morn- ing at eleven o’clock and bad a short but very pleasant juterview with the President, After leaving the au- dience chamber Mr, Dickens visited the parlors of the Executive mansion. The Commutation Money Paid by Drafted Men. The House Miiltary Committee beld a session this morniog, ia which the bill in relation to the commuta- tion money paid by drafted men was considered in con- nection with a subsequent act authorizing the refunding of all such money in cases where the claims were al- ready om MMe in the proper office of the government at the tome of passage of the act.

AEMOMIALS AND PETITIONS, Ar. Parrurson, (dem.) of Tenn,, presented a memorial ‘Of the discharged army officers in egard to the in- ‘creased compensation voted in 18984, which was referred to the Commitee on Military Affairs, ‘Mr, Pomeroy, (rep.) of Kansas, presented petitions of a Convention of manufacturers at Cleveland, Obio, in re- gard to the oppressiveness of the suterna! revenue tax lso of the merchants, &o., of New York on the sam wubject, setting forth the difliculties in regard to the col» ection of the same which were referred to the Commit- © on Finance, : ‘Mr. Sumxer, (rep.) of Mass,, prosented a memorial of ‘the American easlebent Association, calling attention to ‘she propositions relating to the metrical system of ‘weights, measures and coins, which was referred to the Committec on Mr. roray of Minn., presented a petition from the nesota praying aid for the Northern Pacific Railroad; also in ‘regard wo the Yon of American citizens abroad, which were appropnately PRE-RMPTION, Mr. Sueraan, (rep.) of Ohio, mtrodaced a bill to allow te’ now occupying lands on islands in the Great iami river, Ohio, the pre-emption of the same on takimg the proper steps and paying $2 60 per acre. THM BANKRUPTOY LAW. Mr. Furry, (rep.) of Conn., introdnced bin in addition to the act to establish @ uniform system of bankruptcy throughout the Untied States, which was referred to the Judiciary Committee, TENURE OF OFFICE, On motion of Mr. Parrenson, (rop.) of N, H., the Senate took up his proposed substitute reported from the Committee on Retrenchments for. an act in addition to the act for regulating the tenure of certain offices. After verbal amendments, Mr, Cameron, (rep,) of Pa, moved to strick out the proviso authorizing the Secre- tary of State to appoint five special agents to be paid out of the contingent fund department. He said the Senate bad heretofore voted down the proposition, Mr, SumNer said that Mr Patterson bad at that time given notice tbat he would move to insert the provision. Other departménts were allowed twenty-five agents each, this but five, hr, CamERon repeated his o»jections to the system of secret agents. His great objection was that the men in ali departments would thus be employed who had not the confidence of the country and could not be confirmed by the Senate, sir, Conness, (rep,) of Cal., took the same view as Mr, Sumner. He thought it inexpedient to make any such change without at least an inquiry by the committee. If an administration existed at the other ond of tho avenue in which the Senator from Pennsylvania (Mr. Cameron) had coufidence, he doubted whether he would attempt to take from the Secretary of State that small power so important to the interests of the State Dopart- ment and the country. Mr, CamERon thought it of doubtful propriety to ques- tion the motives of @ Sentor, and inquired whether the Senator from Massachusetts had any more confidence in the administration ? Mr, Sumyer—Not at all. Mr, Cameron continued, saying that agents abroad did not do the country one copper’s worth of good duriog the war. Ho bad dined at Liverpool in 1862, where there were a score of foreign consals present, and not one but the United States Consul was in favor of us, He thought tue State Department tne best piace to begin the policy of retrenchment, Mr, FesENDRN, (rep.) of Mo., would oppose cutting otf of what he deemed essential. In time of peace no special necessity existed for special agents abroad other than consuls, but he thought that the dopariment had been conducted with economy and eare, Mr, Conness referred to the enormous contingencies of that department. Mr. Faxauspen denied that the contingencies of which he had charge had been extravagant. If extravagance existed in any department it was in this chamber, and tho adage “Physician, heal thyself” applied to them more than to aby department of the government. It ‘was poor economy to cut off what might be to the State Department, which should be allowed some @scretion, If the department did not suit them let them change it, ‘The amendment of Mr, Cameron was lost—8 to 30. Mr. Stewart, ¢rep.) of Nevada, offered another pro- viso, that pames and amounts paid sub-agents shall be reported to the Senate at the commencement of each session, with the time of appointment. Mr, Suenman opposed the amendment as calculated to give great trouble unnecessarily. No ono reaa such reports, and jt would be an improper and bumihatin, exposure of names, such agents, perhaps, being men o! ‘high character, Yressrs, Anthony and Henderson also opposed it, as valculated to defeat the very object of the amendment. Mr. SumNeR—Certainly it would. ,. Mr. STEWART Saw no necessity for secret agents for the Bate Department, Mr, SumNgR again urged the absolute necessity of tho ater. "Ne. Patterson, of N, H., said st was not distrust of the administration that suggested such provisions to the committee, but the necessity for retrenchment. He hoped some useless consuls aud ministers would be cut off. 7 ‘The amendment was lost. On motion of Mr, Howarp, (rep ) of Mich., tho bill was further amended by including railroad commissioners in ite provisions, Mr, Haran, (rep.) of Iowa, moved to add aa addi- tional section authorizing the President, with the cor sent of the Senate, to appoint, in addition to those now authorized by law, one Indian Agent for the State of Jowa, two for Dakota, three for Montana, two for Idaho, two for Arizona, two for New Mexico, ono for Nevada and one for tho Indian Territory, whose compensation shall not exceed $1,500 a year, with authonty to discon- tinno any of them at any time, He explained that the bill cut off the present Indian Agents, and tais would legatize the appointments, Mr. SuerMan hoped the amendment would be voted down and suitable provision made in the General Ap- propriation bill. ; The amendment was adopted. Mr. Henpwicks, (dem.) of Ind, moved to strike out section three, providing for discontinuing all such officers ten days after tho passago of this act, aod requiring their reappointment and confirmation by the Senate He was opposed, without reference to political cousidera- tions, to loading down the legisiative bodies with such contirmations, and thought such matters should be left to heads of departments. They might as well require the confirmation of ail tho clerks in the departments by the Senate, Responsibility for Li gmetad should be left with the Executive or heads of departments, instead of with the Senate. Mr, Stewart asked whether the Senator thought ahead of a department should be held responsible for the lection of revenue ? , Mr. Hexpaicks replied in the affirmative, The respon- sibility should be left where the constitation left it, and efficiency of the departments could then be expected. Mr, CONKLIN ye N. Y., said that laying frauds ‘on the Tenure of Office bul was futile, as the President and heads of departments had full power of removal or suspension for misconduct; beyond that no reason for power existed veyond political preferences. The skil- tut and adroit Senator from Indiana coutd not shift the responsibility to Congress, which had merely attempted to protect honest men in doing their duty, Mr. Hsnpricks reiterated that if a department was to be carried on successfully the head power of removal or appointment in whereas this bill imposed on bim the necessity of mak- ing out a case against each man removed, He expectod ‘the party in power, if they continued so three years, would geek the repeal of this vory act, and he would me x them in it, CONKLING said where the shoe pinches was that the bill gave over to the Senate the question of protect. ing officers for the first time. It did mot hinder the suspension of any officer for misconduct or incapacity by a stroke of the pen. Mr. Buckatew, (dem.) of Pa., claimed that the Execu- tive's bunds would be paraiyved by the bill and the execution of law impeded. 11 offectually gave power of Appoimtment to the Senate, removing ton days cortain officers, and requiring reappointment and confirmation. Mr. ConKLING said the statute preventing the Prosi- dent from prostituting his office by exercising ali the patronage of the country was a tender subject with the Benator and canved great outcry. He qhoted the Tenure « Ofte bit to pow that tho President could suspend for misconduct of any kind, transmll at the proper tme bis reasons for such action, iid eee Mr. BockALew said the statute required something more than ordinary misconduct to authorize suspen. sions It required absolute uniitness. Mir, HaxLAN moved ut ibis stage Lnat the special order, on which he bad the oor, be postponed, Sir, Jomnsoy, (dem) of Md., sad that having thus far to admit, the Senator aunt of the debate on the bili, be would press it Supplementary Reconstruc whew that debate wae concluded Mr. Hurlan's motion was adopted. THE FUNDING Wit a Mr. SnwRMAN engpesied that a dey be regularly fixed | for the consideration the Pending bill, and moved that Thursday be set apart for that purpose, Mr, Frsekxpwn said the quesion yet undisposed of stould be sertled before a day was txed upon. It was an important bill, thot should not de hastuy considered, Mr. Suxemax bad vo doubt the reconstruction debate would go on fof #1x mouths on some bill or other, He gave notice that ou Thursday next ie would move to call up his funding bill, and seid that he would not press any hasty action, INDIAN DEPARTMENT, Mr. Hexvenson introduced a bill to ereate an Indian Department und to provide for the government and ervilization of the Indians, Also, he said by request, ® bill to render more eilicient the conduct of indian affairs. Both were referred to the Committee on ladian Aflairs, THB REPORT!

The resolution was then adopted by w 12 PASSAGE OP THE TENURE OF OFFICE BILL, ‘The bit in addition to the Tenure of Office bill was ‘again taken up, The question was on Mr, Henderson's amendment to strike out the third section. ° The amend- ‘ment was lost, Mr. Coxe, (rep.) of Cal., moved tostrike out “ten days” and insert “thirty” as the time at which offices are de- clared vacant, and ‘‘no further appointments made without the consent of the Senate.” said in one dis- trict of San Francisco nearly as much tax collected on whiskey as in the ten disiricts of New York and Brooklyn, and those efficent officers moald prepenly be removed by the bill, and trouble would in re- placing them. He was opposed to the bill, It would remove far more republicans than democrats; but it should at al events be amended in this manner, ‘The amendment was agreed to, The bill was then passed by yeas 32, nays 9. ‘The bill, which was published lay, now au- thorizes twenty-five special agents, to be appointed by the Secretary of the Treasury and Postmaster Gen- eral, and twenty-five additional in the Treasury Depart- ment, with five by the Secretary of State, RRIDGING THE MiSsissIPPL, Mr. Ramsey, (rep) of Min, called up the House bill to allow the Southern Minnesota Railroad Company to consiruct and maintain a bridge across the Mississippi river and establish a post route. Mr. Monnitt, (rep.) of Me,, advocated referrmg tho bil to the Commnitiee on Commerce, saying that it wae commercial question proposing to obstruct the Missis- ippi river, Ir, Ramsey explained that the Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads had always bad charge of such questions, General Warren, formerly of the Army of the Potomac, and a distinguished enginoer, bad ox- amined tbe whole matter and had been before the Com- mittee and informed them that such a bridge would be no obstruction, suitable draws having been provided, After further discussion by Messrs, Conness and Jounson the bill was passed.

Mr. SpapinG (rep.), of Ohio. from the Committee on Appropria ions, reported a bill making appropriations for the service of the Columbia institution for the in- struction of the deaf and dumb, and establishing ad- ditional regulations for the service of that institution, which was referred to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union.

Argument on the Motion to Dismiss the Mc- Ardie Case for Want of Jurisdiction. Wasuinarox, Feb, 7, 1868. ‘The argument in the McArdie case came up to-day in the Supreme Court, the motion beimg to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Judge Sharkey, of Mississippi, said the statute of Feb- ruary 5, 1867, was q remedial one, and should therefore receive a liberal construction, and that the clause which gave an appeal from the District Court to the Circuit Court, and from the Circuit Court to the Supreme Court of the United Siates, did not intend to confine the appeal to the Suprome Court to cases which merely commenced in the District Court, but to give the appeal to cases which commenced originally in the District or Circuit Court, There was no reason for Congress to make the distinction betweon the two cases, The ox- ception in the casef the statute of 1867 as to persons charged with military offences did not apply to the case, for no military offence was charged against the party. A military offence, like every other offence, was some- ‘thing to be asserted by law. It was a matter of no con- sequence in this argument whether Mississippi was a State or not. Even assuming st to be a mere territory, it was still under the constitution, and tue people in- habiting 1t were entitled to its protection to its fullest extent.’ Senator Trumbull, of Illinois, supported the motion to dismiss the appeal. The appellate jurisdicon of the court was conferred by the constitution, which declared that the Supreme Court shall have appel jurisdiction both as to law and to fact, with such exceptions and under such regulations as the Congress shall make. The cases of Wiscort ve, Bauchy, of ex parte Kearny (5 Cur- 2), (16 Curtis, 328), and of Metzger (16 Curtis, 348) gave construction to that clause of the constitution and aettied beyond controversy that the Sa; Court can only entertain appellate jurisdic- tion in pursuance of some act of Congress giving it; and at the time these decisions were made no statute existed giving jurisdiction in a case like the one under consider- ation, He argued that authority to issue writs of habeas corpus was conferred on the United States courts and the Justices and judges thereof by the fourteenth section of the Judiciary act of 1789, but that under that act no appeal or writ of error was aliowed from the Circuit Court to the Supreme Court in a habeas corpus case, and that for pearly eighty years after the government was founded no such ng 88 an appeal or writ of error in any caso like this was known, To determine whether an appeal in this case it was first ni to determine whether the proceeding was under the act of 1789 or under the actof 1967. If under the former, then he contended that no appeal iay. Under it Circuit Courts nad authority to issue writs of habeas corpus to relieve from imprisonment under or by color of the authority of the United states. (x-parte Dorr, 3 Howard, 104.) McArdle was held, as his petition showed, under color of tho authority of tne United States, and hence bis case was clearly within the act of 1789, and from the de- cision of the Circuit Court under that act no appeal lay. As to the act of 1867, it was passed to confer additional jurisdiction and to relieve persons deprived of their hnberty under Stace thority; but as McArdle was not so held it bad no application to his case, It expressly exciuded from its provisions per- sons in military cugtody charged with any military of- fence, and as McArdie was im such custody under such cbarge his case did not come within the act allowing an appeal, Ata proper time, should this case ever come to a hearing on its merits, he should undertake to show that the act for the more officient government of the rebel States is constitutional, But for the purposes of ‘this motion it was mmmaterial whether it was or was not constitutional, The guilt or innocence of McArdle, or ‘whether ho‘ was rightly or wrongly charged, was not the question. If it was the court would have to take Jurisaiction to ascertain the fi very thing which . had not authorized it todo, This court did not sit to correct the wrongs in the country, and could ouly afford relief in the particular cases where the law gave it jurisdiction, and then only to the ex- tent of relieving the parties immediately before it, He contended that even if this were a case arising under the act of February 5, 1867, still this appeal would not lay for the reason that it did not get into the Circuit Court ty pee. whereas it was only cases that came into Circuit Court by ae which could be appealed to the Supreme Court. ir. Trumbu'l said, in the course of his argument, that at the proper time, should this case ever come up for a final bearing, he should under- take to show that this act 13 constitutional, binding on ail departments of the government; that there bas been a great war in this country, inaugurated by its cnemie: for the overthrow of the Union and the constitution that Congress has express authority from the constitation to raise and support armies for the overthrow of the enemies the constitution and the Union, and to oon? such armies for that pu: ‘till im its own good time it shall think proper to call them which will not be til! the Union shall be roatored in ail ite integrity and established upon foundations so strong that all the hosts of treason cannot prevail against it; that to determine wher that shalt have arrived is a political question belonging to Congress alone to decide, and when decided its decision is bind. ing on ail the departments of the government, But without stopping on the present occasion to inquire whether this law is constitutional or unconstitutional, it h for his present purpose to show that the Missesippi, where McArdle was arrested, was at the time under military control; that Genoral’ Ord was, a8 appears u , in command of the militar: district, it embracing 188' ppl and that McArdle was arrested by him charged with being a disturber of the public peace and witb inciting insurrection, disorder and violence, which was clearly a military offence, and if so, this court has no jurisdiction of the because it its Jurisdiction, if at all, by appeals under the act of Feb- Taary 5, 1867, and that act expressly excepts from its operation per s in the custody of the military autho- rity charged with @ military offence. remarked, did not sit here to correct the wrongs of the country. Thousands of persons might be unjustly deprived of their liberties or lives under unjust or laws in all portions of the country, and this court could afford no relief, except in the particular cases were the law gives it jurisdiction, and there only to the extent of relieving the parties shielded by it. The court reserved its decision, ‘The following cases wore disposed of :— No, 39—Shearns, claimant, appellant, vs. United States, Case argued, No, 208—Silver, administrator and plaintiff in error, va Ladd etal, Argus No, 200—Marshall et administrator and plaintif in ve.

POUGHKEEPSIE. POTTS Ord Povonxssram, Feb, 7, 1668. At about Baif-past twelve o’clock this morning George P. Wert, @ colored cook attached to the City Almshouse here heard a yell, as he supposed, proceeding from ove of the crazy rooms in the building. 1s was not the usual style of yell generally heard from that department, but wild, unearthly shriek. Becoming siartied the cook ran out from the kitchen, when he was met by @ German inmate who said the building was on fre, Look- ing up flames and smoke were seen issuing from the roof over the crazy room towards the east end of the main build. In so imstant the alarm became general, when a scone of the utmost confusion and excitement was visibie among the eighty or ninety inmates therein confined, The building being located on tho suburbs some time elapsed before the alarm reached the city. When it did a general signal of fire was rung eut from the Various bells. Firemen rushed in every direction, and 48 goon as thie exact locality of the fire became knowm a perfect stream of humanity commenced moving to+ wards the spot, All sorta of rumors were afloat im ree lation to “terrible disasters,” ‘numbers burned to death,” &e.; but all such rumors and reports were, utterly false, The inmates, every one of them, and even all tne furniture and bedding of the building, re, through the coolness and proseuce of mind of the colored cook and Mr. David Hitchcock, removed to a. place of safety. When it was ascertained that there was no possib'e chance of checking the progress of the flames the ate tention of the colored cook and a man named Davia Moore was turned towards rescuing the inmates, Wert first rushed to the closed roum of a,crazy man named. Frear. He started bim out, when he ran down stairs. Reaching the bottom he chattered like an animal, aud® ‘then ran into the burning building again. He was again, started out and finally secured, Wert then broke into. another crazy man’s room, where a German named Mead was confined with a ball and chain to his leg. Mead took things rather coolly, und deliberately ang Jaughingly walked out, carrying bis load of won with him, Ovher lunatics were removed a3 easily till the last one was reached, and be a desperate, crazy Spaniard, who went by the name of ‘*Poily,”” Both Wert aud Moore, knowing the character of this man, resotved to go into bis cell together. They ap- Proached the door cautiously and after unfastening i> snoved jt suddenly open when it was as suddenly and more violently closed by the crazy Spaniard. lo the meantime the flames were progressing rapidly and the smoke whirled through the corridor aud about the crazy man’s room in dense and suifocating volumess Wert svon decided that he had to act.with great prompt ness and energy, and immediately procuting an axe again preesed the door open and waiking deliberately up. to where the lunatic was chained to the floor raised the axe On high aud with one tremendous blow severed the chain. He tacn seized the Spaniard, who by this time had become thoroughly aroused, when a territio tussie = edsued, ly Was apparent. that the lunatic was getting the better of (he sane man, observing which, Moure, Wert’s companion, rusked im and the two grappled with the creature, A very severe encounter ensued, during which the luuatic got Moore’ hand in his mouth and lacerated the skia terribly, After some further resistance the lunatic was picked up bodily and carried in safely from his dangerous posi— tion, Ali of the rest of tbe inmates were panio stricken, and ran to and fro in every direction, but aa, stated above were safely removed, ‘The building was a Jarge frame structure, but very old and dilapidated, I was insured (or $8,000, which is probably about $7,858 more than it was worth.
