PASSAGE OF TiIE BOUNTY LAND BILL.—The
National House of Representatives, on Wed
nesday, passed the bounty land bill which had
previously been adopted in the Senate. We
infer by the report that it has been amended in
some form, but not very materially, and that
the Senate will concur. Should the President
sign the bill, it may be considered that the
homestead and general land distribution
schemes are indefinitely postponed. The vote
was 135 yeas to 39 nays. The bill gives 16U
acres to every person serving in our wars not
less than 14 days since 1790, as well as to thOse
who were engaged in - actual battle for a less
period—the widows and minor children to re
ceive the benefit in case of the death of the per
son so entitled. The benefits ofthe act are ex
tended also to the widows of the officers and
soldiers of the Revolution, and to some others.
PASSAGE OF THE POSTAGE BILL.—The Senate
has amended and passed the bill from the
House which provides- that for letter's going
lesi than 3,000 miles the postage shall be
three cents, and over that distance it shall be
five cents, except where postal treaties with
other countries shall prevent. The 'amend
ment further provides that, after the Ist of
January. 185 G, all letters shall be pre-paid,
and that done with stumps ; also, that letters
containing Money can .be registered, so as to
show that they have been sent, but in no in
stance to make the department responsible for
them. The amendment must, of course, be
concurred in by the House.
1D 11n act has passed the House of Repre
sentatives. at Washington. reducing the duties
imposed by the present tariff twenty per cent.
on a nuinber of articles. The final vote upon
it Was 12G to 80. There seems to be no doubt
entertained of the Senate's concurrence.
Rate.—On Wednesday night last, a little af
ter midnight, our citiiens were startled from
their slumbers by the cry of •Fire !" The
two story building owned by Mr. Join: L.
TAT& on Railroad street, was found to be on
fire, and before effective aid could be secured
was entirely consumed, with all its contents.
The lower floor was occupied as a body-nialter's
shop by PERRY J. T4TE, and the upper floor
by - 5.41E0 . 8L BLAcg.—both of whom lost all their
tools, together with two or three bodies and
some lumber belonging to Mr. Tate. The cal in -
ness of the night and the exertions of our citi
zens prevented the fire from extending to other
buildings.—The loss is total—no insurance.—
Star.
ANoTnEit---AutosT.—Before day-light on
Saturday morning last, the alarm of “fire"
again resounded through our streets. The
north gable of WARItIi;X'S Foundry had taken
fire, caused, it is supposed, by a spark lodging
in the weatherboarding the day previous,
which wascasting day; but it was suppressed
before much damage was done.

Tnb: BRIBERY COMMITTEE.—The investiga
tion of the charge of bribery against certain
members of the Legislature and others, seems
likely to result fn—smuke I—as was expected
by many, because a way is always found to
plaster such Likings
. over. But that bribery
has reigned supreme at Harrisburg this winter
we believe to he a . fact, and it becomes the
committee having the matter in hand to leave
no stone unturned in order to bring the guilty
to the light—and to publish the 'testimony
they may elicit, so that the public may also
make up its verdict. l'ite . honor of the State
demands that this crying evil be checked in
the most summary 'manner.

Gov. Pollock is roundly rated by many
of his party friends for his
s appointment of the
notorious Thomas J. Power as Adjutant Cen
eral. The Lancaster Examiner is indignant
at the appointment, and says "Power is one of
the.most notorious borers and •snakers' that
has infested Harrisburg during the past ten
years, and has a celebrity in that line not at
all to he envied by those who admire fair and
~rinltre legislation." It is thankful, however,
that his office . is •one of mutely nominal im
portance. The Executive has but few offices
in his gift, and thus far his appointments have
given but little satisfaction to any of the fac
tions composing_the great "fusion," or con
fusion party. ' Before he gets through with it.
he will no doubt find that "politics is a hard
toad to travel."
