Tstimated at Three Hundred Thousand Dollars, About baif-past twelve o'clock this morning a fire broke out in the rear barement of Baroum and Van Amburg’s Museum and Menagorio, on the Mercor street aide, In which were kept the animals belonging to the menagerie, The flames spread rapidly, and not- withstanding tho exertions of the firemen, the fire soon extended into tho theatre and menagerie. Just previous to the discovery of the fire an alarm was given fora fre in Spring strect, near Renwick, given below, and in consequence of the engines being at ‘hat Gre they did not get to work as soon as they other. wise would have done, The adjoining building, 535 Broadway, was considerably damaged by water. The Prescott House, on tho corner of Spring street, was Glightly damaged from the same cause, The wind was blowing a bitter gale from the uorthwest and rendered the efforts of the fromen almost fruittoss, They stood upon the roof of 635 with two linea of hose until the smoke and heat drove them away, compelling them to leave their nose upon the roof, * On the Mercer stroct side efforts were made to save the animals in the Museum, but with little succes, The giraffe tumbled down near the doorway, and thus blocked up the egress, A number of the other animals were then reacued, and finally a rope was put around the giraffe's neck and leg and he was raised up, but refused to move, At this time the flames wore bursting through tho partition, and the bind pars of the poor animal commencod to bura. More men got hold of the rope, and he was pulled into the street, The tiger was subse- quently discovered leaping from @ basemont window on he Broadway aside, and «# scaro ensued which was terminated by an intrepid policoman with revolver in hand, who stationed himself with a huge fire ladder detween himee!f and the animal and fired ehot after shot unti! he finally gave the tiger his quietus, At this timo the fire haa got under euch headway that the men hat to leave the building. The heat now be- came so intense that the side windows of tiie Prescott House caught fre, producing great consternation amon the guosts, who, intent on saving their baggage, croat grea! confusion in the house. At the time of our going to press the fire was fully subdued, The very late hour at which the fire broke out rendered it impossible to obtain say particulars, The Museum L persed with the exception of the few stuffed b:rds and antmals taken out on Broadway and the animals rescued on reer street, i@ totally destroyed.

THE McARDLE CASE. mt of Judge Black in the United ates Supreme Court in Behalf of the Petitioner. * Wasninatox, March 2, 1863, In the Suprome Coart of the United Siates to-day the McArdle caso was argued upon its merits, Mr, 8. Black commenced theargument in behalf of tho petitioner, who had been charged with and arrested for an alleged violation of the Reconstruction act, thus causing a dis- turbance of the public peace, disorder and violence, and with being guilty of tibel in the publication of certain articles in the Vicksburg 7imes calculated and intended to impede the reconstruction of the Southern States, ‘The case came up ex parte on an appeal from the Cir- cult Court for the Southern district of Mississippi, Mr. Black said that MoArdie had beon denounced by certain public men for language which he admitted was coarse, but not more so than other political writers were in the habit of using, The presumption was that he was innocent of crime, Novertheless General Ord caused him to be arrested without warrant aud !m- prigoned, and after having beed held in custody he was sent before a board of officers, where he was tried, but it was no moro a trial than a stage play, compared with the events intended to be repre- sented, It might be called a farce but for tho fact that the end might be to the petitioner @ catastrophe, a sad calamity. Everything charged against him might have been uttered in one breath, His whole offence consisted in publishing certain articles in bis newspaper; but it was curious to observe tn how many aspects this was regarded, In tho firat place they say it wag a libel. It certainly was no inflammatory libe! against the laws of Mississippi; for the military officors were not engaged in vindicating the dignity of that Ste They were there to execute the laws of the United States, They denied the very existence of ‘a State government in Missics'pp! and tho validity of all State laws, It was alleged that the petitioner by his publications committed a breach of the peace, There ‘was certainly nobody excepting those who had becn trained in the bureau of military juatice who would say ho was Guilty of a breach of the poace. Such proceedings might sometimes tend to provoke a breah of the peace, and they dia so on this occasion. General Ord committed @ lawiess act when he broke {nto tho petitioner's house and directed that he be carried to prison. He had po right to charge on his (Mr, Black's) client the crimo porpetratad by General Ord’s own master, and ask that he be pifnished for it. ‘The publications, it was sald, were intended to intimi- dato votes, A State election was going on which was superintended ontiroly by the army, which fby means of bayonets drove one set of voters to the polls and drove another away from them, The whole thing was accom- plished by naked torrorism, and when an unarmed and weable man expressed his opposition to such pro- ceedings throuch his own newspaper he was told he should not do so, aod was ordered into custody, Which of tho two parties was guilty of intimidation—the accused or tho accuser? It waa said McArdle hindered reconstruction, Congress desired that agcertain constitu- tion or form of goveromo: ould be adopted and sub- mitted to the peoplefor their decision, and it was sub- mitted toa portion only of the people of Mississippi, The act of Congress made a show for the expression of approbation or disapprobation. McArdle was not amang those who wero in favor of that constitution, This was said to be hindering roconstruction—the commission of a crime which there was a right to punish. He (Mr. Black) did mot propose to analyze the charges, but he undortook to say that if every spe- ciflcation now before the court was put tn the form of an indictment and presonted by a grand jury, Ht tribunal would set it aside without argum: No fudge who had a clear compre! would ask 8 man to plead to a tissue of absurdities like that; yet if the trial of McArdie had gove oa before a military board he would not had the slightest chance of oscape, but would ha: victed, commissions never disappo'nt the ex. Pectations of those who order them. If he had been convicted nobody could anticipate or conjeo- ture what punishment would ave deen in- fiicted, If they could convict him without [mond they could punish him without measure, ‘hey had just as good a right to sontence him to the gal- lows ag to fine him. General Ord had desired the blood of this and to take bis life to settle the qui tion between them he had several moans in bia por to accomplish such purpose, He could have gone to his cel! and strangled him with his own hands, or sent a half dozen men to shoot him, or procured the sentence of a military commission to bang him. All these things would unquestionably be consistent. Daniel Wobsier said yours ago that military commissions were always organized to convict. These words wore fitly spoken, They were like ‘apples of gold io pic- tures of silver."’ He venturod to sav that in vine cases out of ten military commissions committed outragos on justice and (aw. Military men, as « genera! thing, know nothing of judicial duties The court was aware far better than himself how much time and to!! and trouble tt took to mako a judge to administer justice among a people in order to protect the!r rights and enforce the obligations of Individuals, to hold the scales of justice with an even hand and to turn the sword im tho right direction, It was @ most dif. ficult task to perform, The science {m which Judges deait was most abstruso; and after the judgment was matured {ts administration required good moral qualities, Independence in spirit and thought, with no fear of danger, with Impartiality, absoluteiy blind to everything but the testimony and the law; perseverance that never tires, and a ndless knowledge of men and books; and those qualitis ere not merely needed in fare and largo, but for every day's work in small cases, It was eurely @ most unwise thing to suppose that any raon would pretor to trust in an officer of the army. ie habits and education unfit him for judtewal duty. He doalt im material and worshipped honor, His work was bard blows, No matter what the contro. veray was, if be could whip his adversary, or if his ad- versary whipped him, he conceded the argument. With hit all great ore quostions were to be decided by main force. If one was the and tho other the master, ono weak and the other strong, and if the ques tion Invoived private rights, tt was decided in the same way by the wage of battle, A creed was formerly established by the party who asserted it couquering the party who opposed it, and questions of reparation were decided in the samo way—-one party whipping tho other, The idea bad mado its mark on the military scienco of the day. Wo calla great gun A cannon, because it wa substituted by the church, and when a party was whipped, never having any- thing of defence fn bis bands, he was subject to his nose or errs cut off and — piacod in the pillory, The military men of all age ta’ned such opinions, and there was no phras Fg'ish language which was repeated with moro appro- poleon, “That God |e on lory, provided it Is well bandied."” This disposition op the part of military men to refer everything to the arbitration of mero strong power had the effect to put justice at defiance, to deny that the law wae mado for them and to sotilo every controversy by the force of arms. McArdle claimed be wag entitled toa trial by jary; the military commission liad given no reason for refusing it. Tho application had been treated with contempt. He (Mr. Viack) sub. mitied to the court that if a tribunal of this sort world refuse, either on account of ignorance or indisposition, to decide a question of this kind and on this fuoda- could it decide on points more im- portant? very man attend to the business for which ho {s fitted “Your Honor would not take your watch to a blacksmith, and it fs nos likely he would mend “6 watch much % iis it om the anvil and 04 pounding it with a eledgehammoer; and would w not be insane to submit @ quest life and liberty to @ man who kn nothing of the principles on which they rest and who Is too ignorant to give a righteous de Wherever in an; country there stem for tl ministration of ji tice by the cou and juries everyoody goes to them obtain it.
