THE REPUBLICAN TASK ACCOMPLISHED IN THB PASSAGE OF THE FRELINGHUYSEN RESOLU- TION--RELIEF OF SENATORS AND A SPEEDY ADJOURNMENT EXPECTED. The Senate, which has been so rapidly verging | tothe uttermost limit of its long extended pa- Uence, the much-strained for result, (he indorse- ment of President Grant’s policy tn Louisiana, Was achieved in a spasmodic effort by the repuo ican majortty to-day. This consisted in the pass- age simply pro Jorma, as it must honestly be re- garded, of the substitute of Senator Anthony, by 4 vote of 383 yeas to 23 nays. its consort followed, in the original ‘resolu- uon or main question of Senator Frelinghuysen, bora of the repubitean caucus and subsequenuy introduced by him into the Senate, and also adopted by @ party vote. Both are respondent to and confirmatory of each other in spirit and intention, except in so far as ileal and technical terms mike them different, Priorto the accomplishment of this expression, which is regarded asa greattriompl for Senator Morton in the soiution ol the Louisiana question, Senator Thurman offered three successive resolutions which were not looked Jor, declaratory, first, that the adoption of the Frelinghuysen reso lution should not afirm the legality of the Kei- logg government de jure; secondly, that 1t should not tather the assumption o: having elected Pinchback, and thirdly, that military interference | In the affairs of the Loutstana Legislature was not | approved, all of which were, of course, lost by a strict party vote, Immediately thereafter the Senate went into | executive session for the purpose of confirming Don, A. Pardee as the successor of Durell, in the bitter and animated discussion of which the time from four to six P. M. Was frunitlessly consumed, when tne Senate Adjourned, hardly a quorum of Senators being present, many having gone nome with indiffer- ence as to thé result, apd without adopting a resolution for an adjournment of the Senate sine die. Very creditable speeches were made pre- vious to the calling of the question before the Senate by the new Senators, Jones of Florida, Wallace of Penusylvania, and Withers of Virginia, The first, apparently the youngest man in the body, with @ fine. Intelligent and pleasing pres- ence, discussed the pending question ably for an hour and a half, and was gratefully regarded as a most acceptable successor of the silent and inac- tive gentleman who has misrepresented Fiorida heretofore, rejoicing in the sphinx-like intelli- gence which cbaracterized only @ Gilbert. The Speech of Senator Wallace also commanded the Closest attention, and stamped him as an easy and able debater. Much cheerlulness prevailed on the floor of the Senate after the votes were taken on the Grant-supporting resolutions, in view of the prospect of a speedy relief from Sena- torial annoyances, as nothing more remains to be done to keep the boay together. THE SENATE PROCEEDINGS. WASHINGTON, March 23, 1875, The Senate resumed the consideration of the Tesolution approving of the action of the Presi- dent io regard to Louisiana. Mr. JONES, (dem.) of Fla., took the floor and de nied the right of tne Senate to act upon a resola- tion of this character during a special session | called for executive business. The proceedings of the President in relation to transactions in Lon- isiana were not such as to commend them to the favor or approval of the country, tle relerred to the argument of the Senator from Indiana (Mr, Morton) to the effect that the action of the Prest- dent in regard to Louisiana was binding upon the Senate, and asked, if that proposition was true, why the Senate was asked to approve of his course now. He referred at length to the Louisiana troubles and read trequently irom documents be, fore the Senate to show that Mr. Kellozg was not, the legal Executive of the State, A PATERNAL GOVERNMENT DENOUNCED. Mr. WALLACE, (dem.) of Pa., referred to the reso- lution first introduced by the Senator from New Jersey (Mr. Frelinghuysen), and said it was in effect @ carte blanche \or the future, as tt expressed tne opinion that the President should continue to recognize in Louisiana the existing State govern- ment; but the resolution brougit Jorward by the | Senator from Rhode Island (Mr. Anthony) irom the caucus eliminated the carte blanche teature. | he latter resolution was one recognizing the doctrine of paternal government, which doctrine he desired to meet at the threshold and repudiate. We wanted no paiernal government in this country. In the shadowy future there would be @ government in _ Louisiana re- cognized by the ey of that State aifferent irom the Keilogg government. Did this resolution mean that the President was to continue to upnoid the Kellogg government agarnst the consent of the people’ {n his opinion the worklng of the resolution was to pave the way | for the admission of Mr. Pinchback next winter. It read like an army order, and he did not see how it could be passed by the Senate. He quoted from the telegram oi the Attorney General to Mcénery, teliing him it Would be useless for the committeerot one hundred citizens to visit Wasnington, as the Presiaent had made his decision, and said the man Who oceupied the place once occupied by John | Quincy Aaams in his day directed one ot his sub- | oramates to reluse the low-bowing citizens of Louisiana the right to be heard; refusea them the right of petition, guaranteed to every American mn. The aciion on the part of Congress the southern States was ruinous to the Whoie couuiry. It was like building a wali around the Souchern portion of the Republic, and thus destroying the markets of the North. In his own great State of Peunsylvania the coal, the iron and the lumber iaid in piles ut the mines, at the Jur- naces and at the sawmills; the busy industry of the Lehigh and the Schuylkill were no longer heard, and now the people were becoming con- vinced that the prostration was largely due to tne federal bayonets in the South, and the Violations of the rignts of the people there by the federal government. Toe people of the North now asked that the people of the Soutn be allowed to control theit own affairs.

On the other hand, if Then | these iraudulent governments in the South were | upheld the revenues oi the country would be de- creased una the ousiness interests of the country prostratea, Mr, THURMAN, (dem.) of Ohio, denounced the resoiution as a wnicewasning atiempt.

DISASTROUS FIRE ON FIRST AVENUE. NAEROW ESCAPE OF A FAMILY OF NINE PERSONS— EIGHT HORSES BURNED TO DEATH. | Adisastrous fire, in which eight horses were burned to death and a family of nine persons | barely escaped with their lives, occurred at two | o’clock yesterday morning, at Nos. 1,106 to 1,112 | First avenue. The but!ding is a two story brick, and extends about hal the length of the block between six- tieth and Sixty-first streets. The frst floor of No, 1,106 ts occupied as a liquor saloon, and adjoining itis machine shop, owved by Richard Newall. | Nearly the entire length of the second story ts | used a8 @ kindling-wood factory by Frederick | Buse, who ts the owner of tne property. Qn the | same floor and adjoining the factory are a num- | ber of apartments, in which Mr. Buse and his | family reside. The fire was discovered by Officer Thomas, of the Nineteenth precinct, who was patrolling his | beat at the time. At first no flames could be seen, | | but a dense volume of black smoke poured out of | the building, indicating that the fire bad already attained considerable headway. The policeman, | knowing that the Buse tamily occupied the sec- ond floor and seeing no one astir, determined to arouse the inmates before he should send tue fire signal. He therefore commenced a vigorous on- slaught on the doors with his club, shouting at the Lop Ot his voice, but there was no response from | within, The smoke was rapidly increasing in quantity and the danger to those inside was be- | coming very imminent, Tee oMcer againr ewed his exertions, and at last succeeded in iw ccing open the door, not, however, until he had brokeu his cluy in the effort. The kindiing-wood in the fuctory Was mainly pitch, and the smoke was cons sequentiy of the most suffocating nature, | Thomas immediately made @ rush up states, and | by pounding on the doors and Making ail the noise possible le at lass aroused the family, who nad all, strange to Say, slept soundly up to this time. For- tunately the entire number, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Buse, their two sons, Frederick and Heary; Chaties Waiman, Frederick Patcn, Frederick Col- mire, Henry Schneishal avd Mary Avegar, visitors of the family, succeeded in making good their escape, haif saffocateu with smoke, The fire sig- nal was then transmitted, and the engines were promptly on the scene, but so slarmingly rapid were the flames spreading that reiniorcements were at once despatched for. Commissioner Mat- sell soon arrived and assumed command of the police. In about @ kalf hour the flames were brought under control. in the rear of the butiding was @ stable contain- ing eight horses, but no relief could be extended to the poor bru and they all perisne Their agonized snorts as they vainiy endeavored to break out of their burning habitauon could be Plainly heard, The loss is variously estimated from $6,000 to $5,000, the latter probably being nearer the mark, as scarcely anything was saved. The cause of the is unknown, but It 18 supposed to have originated from the furnace. ‘he property is Mmily covered by t jurance, FIRE IN WILLIAM STREET. About nine o’clock last night @ fire was dis- covered on the fourth Soor of the jour story brick building No. 161 William street. This floor ts oc. cupied as a storeroom for varnish, and the fames spread rapidiy through the building till they reached the second floor, when they were got ander control, On the firat floor, occupied by Wiliam Plummer & Co., paper dealers, the stock Was damaged by water to the extent of $1,000, Edward smich & Co,, deaiers in varnish, who ocoupy the second and fourth floors, sustained a loss of about $1,000. J, McTeales, dealer in paper folders, rulers, &c., and Fenton & Mullen, blank book maudiacturers, both on the third floor, had their stock damaged about $1,000 in the aggre- ‘he buliding was damaged by fire about Owner of building, origin of fire and ine | lent measures, Mr. Lanais replied:—“sir, I had | Pp the Independent in her hand.

The announcement that Mme, Ristori! would appear in the character of Lady Macbeth and Speak the lines of the pight-walking scene in Eng lish drew last night a crowded audience to the Lyceum. Iv is always @ trying and danger: ous experiment for a foreigner, who hat not thoroughly conquered the diMiculties of the Engiisy language, to attempt the any of Shakespeare's crea cause, though We are consiantly assured that the great dramatist wrote for all men and ail time, tbe English speaking audiences insist that no foreigner can fitly interpret Shakespeare, as they cannotunderstand him. We go not share this prejudice, because if the characters drawn by the dramatiss were human characters Italians and French men ought to be able to unaer- stand and picture their passions sand emotions just as Well as persons wno bappen to have been born where men use the pure speech of the Anglo-Saxon. But popular preja- dices are difficult Lo surmount, and there is no doubt that the very slight taint of a lOreign accent which was discoverable in Mme. Ristori’s speech made some among the audience underrate the artistic beauty of the performance, As a splendid and caretuily shaced picture of human emotion Mme. Ristori has given us nothing better during the season. From the moment she entered on the stage till she leit it she held the audience spell bound, and it would have been quite possible to hear the tra- ditionary pin fall had any one had presence of mind enough left to let one drop, Her reading of the part was pitched in a very low key, and-she Managed throughout the scene to pre- serve absolutely the appearance of one Wrapped in the unconsciousness of steep, To appreciate the diMculsy of this it 18 necessary to remember that she is compeiled to picture all the varying phases of hope and remorse, and at te Same time preserve the semblance of uacon- Sclousness. And this difficult feat is accome plished with wonderful success, and apparently without effort. Distinct phases of passion are clearly marked by the varying faciai expres- sions by which the intensity of her fear and remorse isso vividly pictured, Unlike most actresses who play this pari, she plays it all through in @ very low buteXpressive key. Its charm is in its naturainess and womaniiness, Without ceasing to be feminine, it 18 Juli of strength, Seeing tt, one cannot help regretting that the great actress did not add the whole play to her TEDONS, for assuredly she would have _conferre on the stage a complete creation worthy to live with her Lucrezia Borgia, Elizabeth or Marie Ane toinette. The audience last night testified their appreciation with great neartiness, and when the curtain fell the house’ run witn loud and generous applause. in AD again the curtain was raised and the artist and the audience parted, feeling mutually isfied with each other. To-night “Marie Antoinette’? will be presented for the last time, MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES. A performance for the benefit cf tne Tenth ward poor will be given this evening at the New York Stadt Theatre. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NEWARK LAST NIGHT. Shortly after seven o’clock last evening a fre broke out in the Holmes Building, on Broad street, Opposite the Newark and New York Rail- road depot, in Newark. The fire broke out in the second story of the rear building, used by Johm son & Sutphen as we laundry of their spirt factory. Chief Engineer Brown was the first to observe the flames, and struck thealarm.
