and Charlotte Miller, (all colored.) Arson.
The defendants are charged with burning a
kitchen or out-house of William Sampson,
residing in Murtic township. The evidence
.disclosed the fent, that on a dismal and
.dreary night in October, while the ruin was
falling in torrents, Mr. Sampson was
aroused by a crackling noise, and found
that something was burning. His feelings
doubtless were like those ul Priam, when
awakened in the dead of night by the tid
ings that Troy was burning. He rushed
from the house roloA in a single garment
of spotless white, and while the cold blast
whistled around his nether extremities,
saw the defendants, by the light of his
burning kitchen, gazing with fiendish glee
upon their fell work. They were standing
in their doorway laughing, nor did they
mrcr to render ally assistance in quenching
the lire. The night was dark, and it was
raining, and the defence insisted that the

REPORT OF THE GRAND JURY
The Grand Jury report that they have
acted upon all the bills presented to them
and have returned them to Court. They
visited the County Prison and found the
condition of things there all that could be
desired. Good order, cleanliness and effici
ency prevailed in every department. Mr.
Shirk, the Keeper, deserves the thanks of
the public for the able aa.l efficient dis
charge of his duties. They visited the Poor
House and were pleased with the cleanli
ness and good order enforced by Mr.
Spiehlman, who is in charge thereof. The
Hospital, in charge of Mr. Steinhouser, is
totally unfit for the reception of inmates ;
we believe, however, that he is using every
exertion to overcome the difficulties in the
way of cleanliness and good order. The
new Hospital in course of erection will be
a great improvement when ready for in
mates. Appearances indicate that the dis
grace which has long been attached to the
county for tolerating such a building as the
present one will soon be removed. Our
acknowledgments are due to the Court and
its officers for their many courtesies.
DEATH OF REv. FIN MCNAIR, D. D.—
The cause of the death of this distinguished
clergyman is said to have been congestion of
the lungs, brought on by sleeping in a cold
room, while absent from home assisting a
brother minister in the perlortriiinee ef his
religious duties.
Mr. McNair was born near Newtown,
Bucks county, and was 11l years of age.
Ile graduated at Jefferson College, Wash
ington county, pursued his theological
studies at Princeton, and was called as
Pastor to the Presbyterian Church in this
city in Is4ll, which position he filled
until IsM, when be removed to Clinton,
New Jersey. Ile accompanied one of
the .New Jersey Regiments to the war as
Chaplain, where he proved a model among
them all. Ile then caine to this city, where
he has resided ever since, His remains
were removed to Clinton, New Jersey, on
Mom lay morning for interment, where his
wil'e's family reside. Below will be found
a worthy and fitting tribute to the qualities
and abilities of Dr. McNair:
REV. JOHN M'NAIR, n
IL was with feelings of the deepest regret
that this community learned, on Sunday
morning last, the sad intelligence of the
sudden death of this most worthy citizen,
eminent Divine and Christian gentleman.
A life devoted to the best interests of hu
manity, and to the furtherance of the cause
of his Master has ended. John McNair
was no comiliOn man; he was not only sin
cure and able, but he was benevolent, self
sacrificing, and possessed that innate mod
esty which characterizes and marks the per
fect gentleman and humble Christian. Those
who knew him best will ever cherish his
memory, while they do but simple justice
to the characteristics of his head and heart.
Retiring in his manner and deportment, he
was ever cheerful and kind, possessing,
however, a liminess and integrity of pur
pose which made itself felt in his expressed
opinions, together with a sincerity unques
tioned, which gave a high tone to the doc
trines he inculcated. "Jesus Christ and
Inn crucified" was the sum and substance
of his teaching, and all extraneous matter
was carefully avoided. He was no preacher
of politics. " lie went about doing good,"
wherever he could find it to do, and to the
poor he was all that a Chiristian minister
could be, sympathizing with them in their
trouble and affliction, and extending to
them that proper charity which is the cap
sheaf .of Christianity.
His sermons evinced a high order of
talent—eloquent, yet plain and unaffected—
lucid and easily comprehended. As a lo
gician he was unsurpassed, lind he was
consequently an able debater. One could
readily " look through the crystal waters
of his style down to the golden sands
of his thoughts," and this it was that
rendered his discourses so interesting,
truthful and impressive. His argu
ments were ever clear and concise, and it
was impossible to listen to them without
feeling convinced that his belief was sin
cere and that his opinions were the honest
and firm convictions of a man "who loved
God and kept his commandments."
" his lips taught virtue,whieh his life confessed."
As a husband and a father he was what
might have been expected from so pure a
man.
But he is gone, and " the places that knew
him shall know him no more forever." His
death has left a void in the church and the
community which cannot readily be filled.
Who can doubt his reward? " WELL DON K,
0001/ AND FAITH FUL SERVANT! ENTER
THOU INTO THE JOYS OF THY LORD!"
" His chief delight
Was in his Master's work. How well performed
Speak ye, whose feet upon Salvation's rock
Were planted through his prayers! His zeal
involved
No element of self, but hand In hand
Walked with humility, nor knew a tinge
Of bigot bitterness.
" lie needed not
Praise from our mortal lips. 'The monuments
Of bronze or marble, what are they to him
Who bath a firm abode above the stars?
Still may his people mourn, may freshly, keel .
The transcript othis life, may praise their Go
For what he was, and is, nor wrongly ask.
When shill we look upon his like again

THE FIRE IN ST. MARY'S CIIIIRCH.—
About half-past 6 o'clock Monday morning
the St. Mary's Catholic Church of this city
was discovered to be on fire by a servant
girl, who went to the basement for coal to
be used in the priest's residence. The alarm
was at once given, and the firemen repaired
to the spot with their usual alacrity. The
doors of the building were judiciously kept
shut until the engines arrived. The Union
steamer was first on the ground, and soon
had two streams in play. The Washington
and the American were next to arrive. The
new and fine steamer of the Vendship
was soon brought into ploy and did good
work. The Sun, Humana and Shinier
were promptly on hand. The energy of
our firemen ung nest ionably saved this fine
structure front ruin. The lire had been coin.
tnunicated in some way from the furnace in
the basement, and when discovered had
made considerable headway. The door of
theehureh fur a distance of some ten feet
from the main front entrances was burned
away and one line of paws was partly in a
state of combustion. The fire was soon
flooded when the engines began to play upon
it, and the principal damage is that caused
by the smoke and steam. The fine organ
is injured and the frescoing on the,walls and
coiling defaced. The damage is estimated
at $2.000, fully insured in the Delaware.—
Too much credit cannot be given to our fire
department. They have shown themselves
to be able to cope with the devouring
element on every occasion when they have
been tried. A prominent fireman suggests
to us that the bells should be rung longer
This morning they only rang a few seconds
and many did not hear the warning.
HOTEL DAMAGED BY FIRE.-011 Thurs
day morning, the 24th inst., the Unicorn
Hotel in Druniore township, this county ,
was badly damaged by tire. A stranger
who was staying at the place awoke about
5 o'clock, and hearing a noise, got up, when
he discovered a portion of the front part of
the building in a blaze. It burned a large
hole through the entire front, and was only
extinguished after great exertion, as the
building is a frame one. The landlord was
the last to retire and alleges that there was
no fire in the stoves. ft was no doubt the
work of an incendiary.

LOST BY NOT TAKING A PARER.—The
Charlestown, Va., Free Press says:
Some time ago, a gentleman in Charles
town was appointed auditor to distribute
the funds in:the hands of the administrators
among the creditors. Notice of the auditor
was published.
It so happened thata few creditors residing
In a certain:portion of the county who had
collectively claims to the amount of seven
or eight hundred dollars, from the neglect
of taking a county paper, never heard of the
audit until after the report of the auditor
had been confirmed by the court. They
then came into town to enquire about the
likelihood of securing their claims; . called
upon an attorney, who examined into
the matter, ionl informed them that they
had forever lust their money, and we pre
sume charged them five dollars Sro the
infnrtnation ! All this resulted in being too
penurious to take a paper.
These gentlemen have learned a lesson
that will lust them the restof their lives, and
serve as a warning to others who from the
same motives, fail to take a paper.

The Man Who Drew the Opera House
the New Albauy Ledger.)
A telegram from Chicago announces that
A. H. Lee, of Prairie du Roche, Randolph
county, Illinois, is the owner of ticket No.
58,600, which drew the Chicago Opera House.
We have it in oux power to tell our readers
something about the lucky man. His
name is Abraham Hagerman Lee, and he
has an own cousin, Abraham H. Harritt, a
newspaper man in this city. Mr. Lee is a
dative of Circleville, Ohio, but his father's
family afterward removed to Finley, in the
same State. At the age of fifteen he left
home and went to live with an aunt, who
sent him to school for three years at Cin
cinnati. At the age of eighteen Lee went
on a Cincinnati and Memphis steamboat as
a cabin boy, but having an ambition be
yond that station, he subsequently became
clerk of a Memphis and New Orleans boat,
and afterwards was Captain of a St. Louis
and New Orleans packet. At the breaking
out of the war Captain Lee raised a regi
ment of Illinois troops and wits appointed
its Colonel. It was reported that he was
wounded, but whether this was the case
our informant is not advised. Col. Lee
married a French lady of wealth and settled
at Prairie du Roche, a small place in Illi
nois, near the Mississippi river below St.
Louis. He owns large tracts of land in
lowa, besides much other property. The
drawing of the Opera House, which is
valued at six hundred thousand dollars,
will probably make Col. Lee one of the
wealthiest men in Illinois. We wish him
much joy of his fortune, and doubt not he
will make good use of it. The boat com
manded by Capt. Lee was the Nashville.

WAiIiIII4OTOS, Jan. '2.2.
In the U. S. Senate, Mr. Wilson, of Mass.,
introduced a bill; which was referred, equal
izing the bounties. The House resolution
extending the benefits of the Homestead
act to, settlers on the Sioux reservation was
reported. The Naval. Committee reported
adversely upon the bills for the appoint
ment of a Naval Judge Ad vocatB General
and Naval Solicitor, and relative to firit
and second assistant engineers, etc. On
motion of Mr. Norton, of Minn , the public
Land Committee were directed to inquire
into the legislation necessary to prevent the
grant of lands to railroads from depriving
settlers of the benefits of the Home
stead act; Mr. Williams, of Oregon, intro-
duced a bill, which was referred, pray:ding
for the registration of voters in the Terri
tories. The Pension Agent bill was called
np by Mr. Lane, of lnd„ on a motion to re
consider certain amendments, but the
Senate refused a reconsideration; the bill
goes to the Muse for concurrence. The
Tariff bill was taken up and various
amendments we adopted slightly increas
ing the duties on Wood screws, cotton-seed
oil, etc. The bill is to take effect on the Ist
of April. Mr. Cattell, of New Jersey, made
a speech in advocacy of protection, and the
Senate then adjourned.
In the House, on motion of Mr. Stevens,
of Pennsylvania, 'leave of absence was
granted Mr. Washburne, of Llinois, on
account of ill health. Mr. Bingham's bill,
legalizing certain Presidential proclama
tions and acts authorizing and approving of
military arrests and proceedings of courts
martial, was reported from the Judiciary
Committee. The House bill prescribing an
oath for attorneys and office-holders, was
also reported from the same committee,
with a substitute to compel the enforcement
of the law by the United States Courts.
This bill was put upon its passage, and an
animated debate ensued. The Democrats
resorted to all sorts of parliamentary tactics
to prevent a vote on the final passage Of the
bill, and up to H o'clock last night no vote
had been taken, and a session all night was
in prospect.
Houss.—The House remained in session
until 8 o'clock this morning, the scene up
to that time being but a repetition of those
occurring in the earlier part of the night.
There were some forty votes taken by yeas
and nays, not one-third of the number that
were taken during the celebrated fillibus
tering scene in the House ou the Kansas
and Nebraska bill. At length the offer of
a compromise came from the Republican
ranks, Mr. Boutwell, Mass., suggesting
that by common consent the House should
be at the disposal of the Democratic mem
bers, who wished to debate the bill. There
was no promise on the part of the I memo
orals that they would then submit to have
the vote taken, but that condition is almost
understood. The House, therefore, at 8
o'clock this looming Look a recess till II
A. NI.
The House reassembled at 11 o'clock, and
contiuuted the legislative session of Tues
day. Mr. Huck, 0., took the floor and led
off in the House debate against Mr. Bout
well's bill, to impose the test on Attorneys
and Counselors practicing in federal courts.
He said that the scenes in the House dur
ing the last night and the morning must
have demonstrated that it is always for a
majority to be liberal to a minority in all
legislative subjects. If the genteman who
had charge of this bill had been liberal
enough to allow the Democratic side of the
House reasonable time for discussion,
those scenes would not have been witnessed.
This bill was one of a series of measures in
tended to invade the just jurisdiction MU he
Supreme Court of the United States:and to
subvert it and its just powers to the will of
the legislative department of the govern
ment. It was intended to evade the de
cision of the Supreme Court, respecting the
test oath as applied to attorneys. A bill to
do indirectly that, which according to the
opinion of the Suprepie Court could not be
done openly. Referring to Mr. Boutwell's
remarks, that he wished to preserve the
Supreme Court from the contamination of
traitors.
Mr. I: nick said that three-fourths of the
eminent lawyers of the country would Vas
tly prefer to be associated with Alexander
11. Stephens than with the General from
Massachusetts, Benjamin F. Butler. The
gentleman (Mr. Boutwell) ought to remem
ber that not over a year ago the Lieutenant
General of the United States army enter
tained Mr. Stephens as an invited guest at
a public reception, and that men on the
other side of the Chamber, Mr. Boutwell
amongst them, had taken him by the hand.
Was General Grant and were these gentle
men contaminated by the presence of Mr.
Stephens? He gave it as his deliberate
judgment, that the principles that the dom
inant party in Congress were in confirma
tiou with the principles of the Constitution
and of the Government, and hence the ef
forts of that party to change the Constitu
tution and invade the jurisdiction of the
judiciary and of the executive.
Mr,Rogers, N. J., followed on the same
side of the question, contending thatthe bill
was an ex post facto law, a bill of attainder
and a deprivation of citizens of the right of
trial by jury. In his perovation, he de
dared that whenever the Supreme Court is
strikeu down, then liberty no longer iu the
country will dwell, but it will flee, and des
potism will be robed, lodging itself in the
arms of the legislative power; inflicting its
tyrannical acts with vigor upon the other
arms of the Government, and breaking
down that symmetry of form, and that
beauty of operations which our fathers, who
had been covered with glory in the revolu
tion, laid down as fundamental principles,
which were guarantees and safeguards of
the rights and liberties of their descendants,
who were to come after them.

Mr. Niblack, Ind., followed on the same
side. He declared it unjust to the federal
courts to intimate that they intended to do
any thing not consistent with the strictest
rules of propriety. The bill was intended
to strike at the independence of the federal
courts and at the pardoning power of the
Government. If Mr. Steven's theory, that
men who fought against the United States
were not traitors, but alien enemies ; then
this bill would fail to accomplish the very
object for which it was designed.
Mr. Boyer, Pa., declared that he was op
posed to the bill, because it sought to over
ride, by legislation , the solemn decision of
the highest tribunal of the country, be
cause it singled out one profession for pun
ishment, while members of all professions
were liable to the saute penalties, and be
cause it made distinction between those
who voluntarily engaged in the rebellion
and those who, under force of circum
stances, identified themselves with it. At
this point the Clerk indicated that it was
within oue minute of noon.
Mr. Boyer yielded to Mr. Boutwell, who
moved that the House do now adjourn and
the motion was agreed to. Immediately
after the adjournment the Speaker called
the House to order, announcing that the
House would now, in conformity with the
agrement of yesterday, proceed to vote on
the passage of the bill. All dilatory motions
including that the bill be laid on the table,
being withdrawn, Mr. Bougar by unani
mous consent continued his argument
against the bill. It had been reserved, he
said, for this Congress to exhibit a contempt
for that tribunal which had hitherto by this
nation been considered the source of justice,
of purity and of law. After further argu
ment the vote was taken: yeas, 109; nays,
49; and the bill passed.
WEDNESDAY Jan, 23.
In the United States Senate, the bill in
relation to persons confined in State peni
tentiaries, under sentence of Federal Courts,

ing privilege. Bills amendatory of the

States Courts, was received from the House,
and referred to the Judiciary Committee.
The Bouligny land claim of Louisiana was
confirmed. The Tariff bill came up as un
finished business, and a speech was made
by Mr. Sherman, of Ohio. Mr. Sprague,
of Rhode Island, offered various amend
ments, which were rejected. Without fur.
ther action on the bill the Senate adjourned.
In the House, on motion of Mr. Pike, of
Mo., the Ways and Means Committee were

differential duties favoring American ves
sels. Mr. Shellabarger's bill to protect the
rights of United Statessitizens in the several

which led to an alteteAtion between Mr. Le
Blond, of Ohio, iandkAinStakes, of Tennes
nee, and afterwards to a passage between
Mr. Kelley, of Pennsylvania; and Mr.
Cooper, of Tennessee. Mr. Kelley accused
Mr. Cooper of having been " the confidential
and paid agent of usurper," whereupon Mr.
Cooper gave the lie to r. Kelley. Mr.
Stevens' Reconstruction bill was taken up,

mittee were directed to inquire into the ex
pediency of repealing the cotton tax. Ou

havior. This bill goes back to the House

struction hill disposed of in some way to

poses, came up, and Mr. Morrill opposed it
on the ground that it would be a precedent
for the allowance of claims that would

lano, of the COM thine° on Claims, thought
6'2,000.000,00r, would not cover such claims.

ple of the bill allowing the claim, and it
