EU. r i ,EVENING BULLETIN. oastraturday, January 11, 1868. feW en, ,OFIE DEAD-LOCK DISSOLVED. ' Wile eight members of the State Legisla heK who have prevented the organiz Won of e A House ,for nearly a week, surrendered fiderday, afternoon and Mr. Davis was geted Speaker. In abandoning their oppo flabn to the Speaker nominated 'by their ......Erfly, theseceight gentlemen have not man .. z7d their retreat very neatly or gracefully.. 'V — bmf ~.. ey su t a lengthy statement of reasons o u their course, which, when divested of all hnecessary verbiage,amounts simply to this: tigl' are conscientiously' opposed to Mr. kis, first, because he was connected with 1 , . last Legislature; second, because he is in or of Abuses in legislation and extrava ' ,) Ance in expenditure; third, because he is ,i,,, 4-$• rider the control of a powerful corporation; t. rid fourth, because he would not appoint committees . , ie committees on Republican principles. `` `'We did not mean to vote for a Democrat 4, 4 rider any circumstances, but we expect yo a forfy-five gentlemen to come over to us -:ght. We have not been disappointed in -yalculations. To be sure the majority , not come over to our views, but the • , :itninee has, and so we "bow to the will of •,.:lu,sjerity." This is the sum and sub f ce:of this document. It implies ,the -, fgest charges against Mr. Davis, and takes ,titthigh moral grounds upon them. Then 7i . 'aandons these charges, and pronounces entire 'confidence in him. _ , "Kr. Davis, in his inaugural speech, does - l 'eem to take exactly the same view of the E.; He indignantly repudiates the i138111110,- . fts , ,made against his personal 'and public . 'batter. He then turns the flank of the ..bers very neatly, by announcing that the rFlis he is about to make had been in t i e sinCe last Monday, and that be has not (red or added a single word. He ronews, 'Advance, the pledges contained in his pre red,speech, and thus shows plainly that he ;}lot made that change of base which the ; 'ers claim as their justification for. aban „‘tag their opposition. The bolters do not tteiont of the affair with any great credit to k !Town wisdom or legislative ability, but as - , sy are all new members, it is to be hoped . ', = ithey will now setae'down to the regular. ,mess of the session, and that the excellent .r kiples which they enunciate in their state 4will be brought to bear upon the prac 'blegislation of the House. OIL. o •. v w r• , t , ~ , 1 • '!‘ 'l4:te brief abstract of General Meade's ad . .ilress to the Georgia Convention will be read :',;''with much interest, as the first indication of •thc position %tub. the new commander of I the Third District proposes to oc tupy. •There are — twiiqmportant points per ""ceptible, even in the very meagre report of the speech which haspeen received. General Meade Informs the Convention that the Re- construction acts of Congress are law, until decided otherwise by competent authority. • This would sound like a very trite remark tater ordinary circumstances. But whon taken in contrast with the declarations of the Proident,who,althouglit not a "competent au- Illtority,"bas undertaken to deny to those acts the authority of law, it is very significant. It Indicates that General Meade has gone his new post of duty untrammeled by i,. edges to and instructions trom the Presi " ent, and also that he is disposed to take a eionamon-sense view of his duties under the "siw,,,without, troubling himself about ques t' sens' which' belong solely to the Supreme art of the United States. general Meade also cautions the Conven , n', that its acts are not laws until the new Askitution has been adopted, and that it expect him to enforce its legisla ---iireept at his own discretion. He Intl , 4 that he may enforce such of its Litiiuresns seem to him to be such well ,: * .opted schemes of relief as are immediately "dilo, but holds himself entirely free to use discretionary powers which Congress has .ferred upon him. ;eneral Meade has not gone off in any , re of rhetorical general orders, on mau -1 his command, and consequently the ident has not, as yet, sent any message ogress, calling upon that body to pass 'lions Of thanks to him in advance. It be very foolish for anybody to follow ,diculous example of Mr. Johnson in 'kw of Hancock, and jump to the con ,.:;that General Meade, on account of at address to the Georgia Convention, and Washington, and that he alone, ie officers of the army, is worthy to and commended. General Meade a a difficult and delicate position, and can 'possibly be judged until he has been tried. at there is good reason to infer from the fief report of his address yesterday, that he arts upon his duties independent of' Presi atial interference and with a determination , enforce the laws, not according to the die,- - von of the rebel advisers by whom he will , arrounded, bat according to their obvious ions, as understood by every loyal, '•nd sensible.nian. 'A SWINDIEN. '41 7 : •y" 11 il, in great distress in ose story iv . eopied in yester. 0.1 from Montreal paper and ' ~tre, was a man, tried his swindle ' i fipon t a gentliinan of Pliiladel y,',, a profeinional gentleman, and ~ tiviindler ascertained his name '., At all ,eients, ,he received a ', ty ' diren 44 and postmarked, ', * C. E." 15 4 012 opening it he 41very 'pretty minuseript, beghming ?My Lord," he story, Irt her .. , rnia, ''' -, er 81464 . 100i' • pre '''' of Ole AeAer BoPled by the Montreal journal. The only differ ence is that• it • ends "Your unhappy outcast cousin Jennie," instead of "Your unhappy cousin Minnie," and she gives a different address, this one being "Miss Jennie Middle ton, Combs, Termesconater county, Lower Canada." This attempt to swindle our towns man failed, but he has kept the letter as a curiosity, and now finds it identical with the one published in Montreal. It was quite a clever dodge, but it is only a new warning not to send money to unknown applicants through the Postoplce. 'Since writing the foregoing, still another sample of this clever trickster's work has been shown us. A merchant of this city also received, last August, a copy of the letter to "My Lord," precisely like the others, but signed "Harriet," and giving the address of "Mrs. Harriet Do Lisle, St. Michel, Belle cheese County, Canada West." .The post mark, in this case, appears to be "Wood stock." Perhaps others of our citizens have also been addressed in the same way. -del6Vo THE ;NEW 0111 i PAID FIRE DE PAIL% IYI E N 1 The paid system has now been in operation in the New York Fire Department for a suffi cient length of time to permit an accurate judgment to be formed concer ning , its advan tages or. disadvantages. Recently a committee of the Citizens' Association of New York were appointed to confer with the Commis sioners of the Metropolitan Fire Department, with a view to an inquiry into its condition and working,and to reducing the cost of the Department without impairing its efficiency, and their report has been made public. The Committee have gone very fully into the sub ject; and the report contains much valuable information and some very excellent sugps lions. From it we learn that the Department consists of thirty-four steam fire-engines in active service, with a reserve of eight steam ers; there are also nine hand-engines, with a sufficient number of hose-carts and hook 'and" ladder trucks. The force needed to manage this apparatus,and the pay they receive yearly, are as follows : l'ilvates, drivers and E toke rs Assistant Foremen Engineers . 6f - rituamers Foremen District Engineers. Assistrut Engineei Wei Engineer. The total number of men, including engi neers and privates,, is sot, and the amount annually received by them lbr salaries is $700,000. The estimate for the entire cost of supporting the department during the year 1868 is $893,000. The committee point out several defects in the working of the new system, but as the law creating the department was made by the State Legisla ture, they must look to Albany,. for such changes as may be needed. Thus the privates comprising the • force must be paid one thousand dollars each per annum, and they are not allowed to work at any employment or to attend to any other business than the duty of patroling certain districts and extin guishing fires. By allowing a portion of the force to attend to other employments under certain restrictions, when off fire duty, and with certain other reforms that are suggested, the committee are persuaded that the cost of supporting the Department could be reduced to $600,000 per annum. 4;600,000 seems like a large sum to pay for the support of the Fire Department of a city like New York; but it must be borne in mind t hat in the year 1864 $552,078 was drawn directly from the city treasury to support its so-called Volunteer Department. Add to this the heavy sum levied upon citizens for the purchase of ball tickets, in the procuring of presents for target companies, and through many other well known expedients for tap ping the pocket-books of citizens, and the volunteer system will this found to be the dearest in the end. In this estimate we take no note of the destruction of property through the reckless use of water in irresponsible hands, or of the cost that must inevitably en sue to a community through the operation of any system that exercises a demoralizing in fluence. The citizens' committee very pithily snm up this portion of the argument by re marking that they "cannot close their report without expressing their gratification at the high moral tone that characterizes the De partment, and at its absolute freedom from the evils that led so many of our young men to ruin in the Old Volunteer Department." Chief Engineer McOusker, by his common sense adaptation of means to ends in his ad ministration of the duties of his responsible position as head of the Philadelphia Fire De partment, will doubtless convince the com munity that in the great majority of fires one twentieth of the means usually employed for their extinguishment would be amply suffi cient. We have forty steamers in service, and there are scarcely two °pintoes as to the fact that there are by far too many of them. If New York, at an annual expense of $600,- 000, can support a Fire Department con. tabling more than an equal number of machines, and keep over five hundred mea under heavy pay, Philadelphia, where the necessaries of life are much cheaper, and where all public service is performed at a lower rate than in New Y vk, could fall greatly below the Metrepoltaa figure in the cost of a Paid Fire Department. Our present department costs us $1 13,000 a year. Add to this sum the incidentals that come out of the pockets of private citizens, and certain contingencies both immediate and remote that the New York Committee refer to at the close of their report, and it is quite clear that we do not fall very far below the Nsw York figure in what we pay, directly and in directly, for putting out tires.

The sad art f.. curved le the suburban village of Columbia, and greatly shocked the it habitants, with vrhont she was pretty generally act_phint(d. Anna Allen, the wife of Jacob Allen, aged\ about 30 years, had for some time resided in th 4t o:Ater, win c she supected an Improper intimacy between her bushortd and ..a wcrnau whose hos band had been dratted into the army. Having eutt.citrit evidence to convince her that her fears were well founded, she left her home and re turned to her 'father's house in Columbia, taking with her the two children—a girl now some ten, and a boy seven years of age. During her ab sence Allen moved to this city, and, it is said, set np housekeeping with the partner ho had newly taken to his bosom. Mrs. Allen's father dying soon after, she de termined to again begin a home for herself and children, and earn a living by washing, sewing, or such other labor as she could procure. By the kindness of those who knew her as a good ,woman, a situation was proen for her as oirii..44, female janitress orthe Town Hall, a o—com fortable spartmentS were assigned to her in the ...basement of the building._ From her convene - lion with those who knew her troubles, she had until lately believed that her husband. would re turn to her; but for some months past that hallu cination seems to have passed away, and she be came very despondent. Bhe, however, continued to work daily, but always had refused to obtain a divorce from her husband, although it was said he was anxious she should do so. Thus matters stood until Tuesday night last, when it appears she made preparations for the deed which was to remove her froin all her sor rows. Her daughter was sent to her mother's to remain until the next day and at a somewhat early hour she brought the bed from the adjacent room, used as a sleeping apartment, and spread It ter the night's accommodation before the stove In the , kitchen. Upon this the mother and ,:fin laid down, and the latter soon tell &deep. Abort three o'clock in the morning the boy awakened and found himself alone, his 'other having left the bed unknown to him.

It was found that the door 'silang from the kitchen to the sleeping apart ent was securely fastened ,from the inside. :tier° Was but one window in the room, and ,s bad been securely nailed down.

Stephen. H.

A. court had been ordered—a clerical court martial. is fact—to try the accused—a court composed of "most grave, reverend and potent" preachers in this branch of the Church militant. The hour ap pointed for the convenlogof the court was halfpast twelve. It was an hour after the'appointed time before the proceedings began. This period was occupied in a buzzing . . conversation 'upon sub jects not altogether sacerdotal. In the meanticae the accused eat quietly conversingl, with his coun sel, Judge Fullerton and Mr. Parker, of New Jersey, and gave no indication in his counte nance or demeanor of extraordinary criminality, but smiled and bowed and twirled his jaunty c we with a show of the utmost indifference, or pos sibly want of appreciation of the terrible charges upon which he was about to he tried. After about an hour of patient, undemonstra tive waiting, except the low conversation re ferrrd to. Rev. Dr. Beach, ,President of the court, very quietly arose end remarked that Rev. Mr. Tuttle. a member of the court, being absent, the °tie r men ben. had decided to adjoarti until two P. M. He read a section from the church,canon approving of an adjournment. Mr. Parket asked for an adjournment for a longer period to enable counsel to prepare' the de fence. The President of the court still insisted upnn two P.'lll. as the hour for cell vening. Judge Fullerton tried his persuasive poe rrs in favor of a MOTO prolonged adjourn ment. but the court were steadfast upon this Pout. At Ibis stage of the proceedings Ifev. fir, Tuttle made his appearance, and thereupon the President announced their readiness to proceed with the case. The President thereupon read the do rare and specifications as follows: To the Rio& Reverend the Bishop , of New York!

XLtt>l ConnTeles—Secoaid Session. • (Massa)rsaNaric-tlotied from Third Editlatil • Mr. Simmer introduced a joint, resolu tion, that whereas, The amendment to the Con• stitution proposed by the Thirtv-ninth Congress, known as Article 11, has already been adopted by the Legislatures of twenty-two States (reciting their names); and whereas, by the Constitution, an amendment duly proposed and ratified by three-reunite of the • States, is declared valid; therefore • Resolved, That said amendment, having re ceived the requisite ratification; is valid to all intents and purposes. He said it seems important that the country should know whether that article is valid as a part of the Constitution or not. He thought there was no question of its validity. He hoped Congress would declare so without delay, and that it was their duty rather than that of any other branch of the Government. It bas been the custom heretofore for the Secretary of State to certify the ratification. In his opinion it came properly within the cognizance of Congress.. The Joint resolution was referred to the Com mittee on the Judiciary. Mr. Grimes (Iowa) introduced a resolution that the Secretary of the Navy be requested to suspend until further action of Congress all payments to officers of the navy on the retired and reserved lists, provided under the act of March 1, 1867, except such'as they were entitled to at .the time they were placed thereon, and at the time of the passage of said act. The resolution was adopted. Mr. Doolittle (Wis.) gave notice that when Mr. Morton's resolution to invalidate the existing governments in the South was again called up, he would move to amend by instructing the Committee on the Judiciary in any bill for reconstruction, reported by them, to insert proviso that in any election of officers, or for the ratification of the Consti tution, persons voting must be possessed of one of three qualifications: Fase—To have served in the army ono year or more.

Thtit, indeed, waithe line which a few—a •' very few—of the , American newspapers recom mended; but it was never for an instant propable that the people would take it. They havb, in stead given their visitor a welcome which mast have tar surpassed In warmth and friendship his olan expectations. A petit& who Can act thus eannot be so bitterly prejudiced against everything English as some would have us believe. They prove themselves to he a liberal-minded and fair-dealing people, instead of a race tilled petty hatreds and malignities, such as certain persons belonging to both countries sometimes depict them. Every one who has seen' much of the Americans has been impressed by the warmth and kindliness of their character and by the fIyOVNII affc tion which a large proportion of them enterta e in for the country troth which they take their something gin. There Is something In the dispOsition of both the English and the Americans which makes them half reluctant to acknowledge the- good points they recognize in each other. ' The sense of kinship sometimes impels men to reprove more vigorously than they praise. But, afterill the animosities or prejudices of a former genera lion are dying out under the influence of free and well-Informed discussion. The criticisms which once vexed the Americana are no longer possible, partly,perhaps,because more just obser,-, 'ration is applied to them, but partly also, as they would bo the first to acknowledge, because thert are no lo greatn that stage of immaturity through which all nations pass. The American peo ple have grown, and In accordance with all hu man experience, have grown all th troubleuickly under the pressure of anxiety and The bone of the national character, so to speak, has become hard and firm, They read criticisms of America written five-and-twenty years ago as vre. read Macitulay's account of the state of the English ' people in 1685. It is a former generation, almost another race,whose portraits they look upon. The rough pioneer or adventurer has gone away two thousand miles to the westward, and the cities are full of traveled men and women of culture and refinement. Mr. Dickens has been to Boston nna New York, but they are not the Boston and New York he saw before. Old and disreputable scenes, the curse of large towns, have been , swept away. and noble streets have been builtwhere a few years since, the cattle grazed in the fields. This change is only a sign of the gem ral progreas. of the people. The ill-natured satirist might fill his portfolio With sketches in any society, but if he wanted to fled the most objectionable. Of the characters once put into 'literary museums and 1 bell«I "American,' he would have to search long and far., The "mail- , ralized citizen"may rage and fume ' against the country from which he sprang, or its rulers, but the true American k ever read,v to. do justice when he Is called upon for action., The visit of Mr. Dickens supplies another Blue- , tration of this, and will go further than a scbre of books to prove that the se Jtirnent of kindness and honest fet ling—in a word, of good fellow ship—is as active among the Americans, and may be as safely depended on, as it can possibly be. among the English or any other people.
