WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1885. England and the United States. | If old Sidney Smith, wit and critic, were now alive, he would have to bluah *fdr his degenerate nephew— B. Y hrnon, rson of Bobus—who, after holding various offices, under Obey, Melbourne, Bos bell, Aberdeen, and Palmerston, from 183 P to 1858, finally blundered so stupidly while President of the Board of Control, (pver Indian affairs,) that Palmerston was compelled to shelve him, breaking Ms fall by creating him Baron Lyveden. Ever since that time he has held aloof from his old political friends, doing as much damage bb he could, in a quiet manner, to the Liberal party, and evidently open to an offer from the Tories, should they return top office. . si In the House of Lords, “ Februaiy, he endeavored b I f OVO Cana- TJmted StatesjgUgf the feeling in this present fee^*^ n g laa( | wag s 0 s t ron g “ a t Civil War was ended, eo;- it be expected to commence hostili !eT"by an attack upon or invasion of Bri tish America. He was answered. by : vari ous high officials, such as Earl De Grey lord Granville, and Lord Russell ; but, on the other hand, some of the chief men among the Tory nobility (Lords Derby and Malmesbury, in particular), contend ed that Canada was defenceless by land; that an attack by the United States was extremely probable; that the termination Of the convention limiting the armed force to be kept on the lakes bided great danger to the colonies, and that the Government had shown culpable inefficiency in having deferred to the last moment the construc tion of works of defence which might be needed in a few months, and would take years to complete. The Government plan is to spend $1,000,- 000 on the fortifications of Quebec, of which $250,000 would be disbursed this year, 'Canada herself will expend $250,- 000 on fortifying Quebec. But Lord El- LENiionouGH, one of the shrewdest of Bri tish statesmen, (albeit the laugh was against him in India for his magniloquent proclamation on the capture of the gates of Somn&uth,) contends that Canada should defend herself. Ho doubt, he feels that Canada is so accessible, so vulnerable, that it would take millions of men and tens of millions of treasure to array her defences, upon anything like a hopeful footing. The question which Englishmen may soon have to ask each other is simple: Is it worthwhile sending armies into Canada and expending millions on her defence merely on the possibility of an invasion by the United States ? The ultra-Tory party, who have made a catspaw of Lord Lyvkden, are probably as well awaTe as we who write these sen tences that about the very last thing that the United States would probably look to, “ when this cruel war is over,” is an in vasion ef Canada. After having suffered such depletion, in blood and treasure, as never had any parallel since history firs 4 undertook to record the world’s annals, it is not likely that, from mere desire of con quest, or from angry pique, we shall turn our arms against Great-Britain, and turn from domestic strife to foreign war. At the same time, Lord Rtjsselli frankly declared in the House of Lords that the United States had heavy grounds of accusation and suspicion against England for living built and fitted out pirates to prey upon American commerce, and blockade-run ners to supply the Rebels with articles in dispensable for their continued resistance to constitutional authority, and Lord Pal merston made a similar declaration in the House of Commons. We have Btrong cause for dissatisfaction with England, but we : calfiulate.alflo that of rational reckon ing will arrive—a day in which Queen Victoria will recommend her Parliament to make such atonement and reparation as will be satisfactory to us, without im pugning the honor or wounding the pride of England. The first thing that .Lord Derby did on the opening of the present Parliamentary session was to malign the American Go. vemment, and endeavor to set England against the United States. His satellites have followed up his policy, and Lord XvvEDßH'has played his game also. The Tory party have ever thrown-impediments in the path of progress and freedom; they caused the first and second American wars; they plunged Europe into a twenty years’ war to sustain the Bourbon cause; they provoked Ireland into rebellion in 1798 that they might the more easily corrupt her Parliament to consent to the wretched Unidn in 1800. They constantly resisted all liberal demands. Even now they are aware that a general election is at hand, the result of which will determine, it may he, whether they shall remain out of office for seven .years to come, and their exag geration about the fear of being provoked into war by us is a mere party trap to catch votes. The present Ministers of Queen Vic tobia, -whatever may have once been the individual expression of opinion by some of them, are now united in an apparently hearty and honest resolve to maintain neu trality between the North and the South, let these Ministers be driven from office, and their successors—Lord Derby and Ms friends—must break that neutrality, if they desire to be considered consistent men. During the last four years these, the Tories, have declared that the Rebels were right and that the Unionists were wrong. In office, no doubt, they would carry out these extreme opinions, by siding with the Eebels, and thus doing as much as possible to set England at variance with the United States. Five on six years ago, when Jean M. Davbhfobt retired from the stage, she left no successor. The place has remained va cant. None of the many popular actresses who have won fame and fortune since could be compared with her. Her return to the stage seems to give new inspiration to her profession. Mrs. Lauder has not lost in the interruption of her professional life any of the beauty and grace of her art, bt|t has seemed rather to have gained dra matic force and passion. The Street Cars and Colored Passengers. To the Editor of The Frees : - ■ Sib : Having been an oyo-witness of the expul sion of the three colored men from a Walnut-street ear, referred to In a communication and editorial In to-day’s Press, I deßtre to add that a full state ment of the case was furnished to the MaySr oh the same evening, with ah offer to identify the officer if deßlred, he having neither badge nor number visible at tbe time of his Interference. A suggestion was made at the same time that, without opening the question or the propriety or the legality of the rules or the railroad companies, exeluding such persons from the cars, an exceUeni opportunity was, afforded of Instructing the police that It was no part of ihelr duty to aid la enforcing such rules. Such an order was given In New York, In consequence of a decision in court to that effect, and the praotloal result has been the settlement of the whole question, so far as lam aware, no no tion has ever been token by the Mayor of the oom mnnloatlon submitted to him. I have never seen theoolored men before or since, nor have they or their friends any knowledge that the case bad been put before hiin. v Yours, truly, O. H. PHii.ADBi.rBtA, Marsh C, 18CS.

'‘The Republican also contains a rebel aoconnt or General Sherman’s occupation of Colombia, from the Augusta ConeWulionalisl, of February 27 th, do rived from a citizen cf Columbia. It appears that the rebel troops, In large nnmbers, left on the 17th in the direction of Charlotte. Governor Magrath left on the 18th for the upper section of the State. Beauregard left the same day for Charlotte. Major Goodwin went the same day to meet General Sher man, and surrendered the city to him at Salnda Bridge, three miles ont. On the same day the pub lic stores were thrown open, and everybody helped themselves. No stores were burnt. General Sher man's army entered Columbia In the afternoon. Soon afterwards they commenced destroying the pnblio property. The arsenals and depots were blown up, and the buildings In the su burbs, containing public stores, fired. . Bate In the afternoon a pile of ootton in the streets, near the Congaree House, took fire from the sparks, and the flames spread to some wooden band ings, which unlortunately were in the vlolntty, whence a strong wind drove them furiously down both sides of the street. The scene became terrific, loud explosions continually filled the air, the resi dences and ground were shaken as by an earth quake, and vast oolumns of smoke and flame rose to the heavens. any aooonnt was saved. Goode, provisions, and furniture moved to a sup posed place of security, were burned as the fire pro gressed. The distance burned on the Main street was about a mile and a half. Dr. Beynolds’ house was the only one left standing between the section known as Ootton Town and the State House. The fire also extended five to ten blocks east of Main street, destroying everything. The entire business portion of the city Is In ruins. Both hotels, the Guardian and CoroMnian'nowspa" paper offices, a number ol ohnrohes, tbe Catholic se minary, smd several other public buildings, all the depots, the buildings at Charlotte Junction, and Evans & Goggswell’s printing establishment, are among the buildlDgs burned. All the oars, engines, and railroad material which the rebels did not suc ceed In removing, were also destroyed. Only three churches were "left standing—the'Catholic, Eplaco* palian, and Presbyterian. The Female College was uninjured, and is now occupied by the houseless women'Snd^ohlldren. The old State House was blown up. The new State House wasnot touched, It containing a statue of Washington. Wade Hampton’s house was saved by the Federal officers. Gen. Preston’s boose was also saved, and given to the oeonpants of the Catholio Seminar;, whose property was accidentally destroyed. The rail roads about Colombia are all tom op. All the bridges leading to the plaenare destroyed. All the foundries and machine-shops were demolished. The country about the place Is stripped of all eatables, and all the horsesand carriages In the city taken. The citizens are said to be In a very destitute condition, and unless some relief 1b soon obtained there will be great suffering, and deaths from star vation. Some twenty-five mile's of the Greenville Railroad had been previously damaged by a freshet. Much damage was also done to the road by the Federate. Th? Treasury Department and works were re-, moved to Charlotte.. Both newspapers removed a portion of their stook to the same place. Man; negroes left with General. Sherman’s army, but some were taken by foroe. A large number are re turning to their masters. * General Sherman thought he would not visit the country west of Broad river, and advised the mayor to send the citizens there. The Federate Beamed much Incensed against Governor Magrath, and should use him harshly if they get him In their power. Few, if any, private residences were entered. No outrages were known to have been committed oh ladles. The enemy were under strict discipline during the maroh through the city. Gen. Sher man’s headquarters In the olty were at the residence of Mr. Dnnoan. It was estimated that Us Infantry and artillery numbered 70,000. No cavalry were with him, Their rear guard passed through on Tuesday afternoon. The troops were in the bast condition, were well clothed and well shod, and marched as if they had just started on their expedi ' tion, instead of having been out for weeks. Fort Mott, St. Matthew’s, and Union Court Houses were destroyed. Some of General Sherman’s officers said htt des tination was Balelgh and Salisbury. The General himself appeared la good spirits and confident of success. One corps took the road to Camden and. Florence, another corps to Winnesboro, and Gen. Sherman, with two oorps, moved on the direct road to Charlotte. SBKSBAL (AFFAIRS OH THE [MISSISSIPPI THE OFEBATIOHB AGAIHBT MOBILE—EXTRA BESSIOH OR THB ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE.

Official Report of Admiral bahlgren- 188 CAFTUBB OF OBOBUBTOW2r AMD THE PBO PBRTV THAT THUB FELL IRTO OUR HARDS— DAHLGBRM’S PBOCEBDIMGS AFTER 188 SUB- BXMDBR. The Navy Department has received an official report from Admiral Dahlgren of the possession of Georgetown, S. C. The report is dated George town, S. 0., Feb. 26, on board 1 the bag-steamer Harvest Moon, and says: “Under date of the 26th, I apprised the Depart ment that the naval forces under my oommand had taken possession of Georgetown. As,soon as the occupation of Charleston left my thoughts and means at liberty, I gave my attention to this point as likely to be the, preferable communication for Gen. Sherman, in case such became desirable before entering North Carolina. Accordingly, I soon be gan to oollect a suitable force from this station. The McDonough, Geranium, and two lannohes were or dered into the Santee, being the only class of ves sels able to pass the par of tbe river. 11 On the22d the Pawnee was ordered to George town, and all the marines that could bo collected were embodied to a battalion, the object being to pass op the Santee with this body of men, take the road to Georgetown that traverses the rear of tbe rebel works,an'd assault it wnlle the vessels attaoked In front. “ The Infantry was to be under the command of Commander Stanley, assisted by Lieutenant Com mander Williams. On the 23d of February the Pawnee crossed the bar, and found the Mingo and Nipsio within, upon which toe rebels abandoned Battery White, and toe Mingo steamed up the bay and took possession. The marines were landed, and the municipal authorities tendered their submission to the government of toe Union. The battery mounted fifteen guns.” Admiral Dahlgren calls the special attention or toe Department to Lieutenant's toddart, of toe ma rines, who acquitted himself with credit, and has now command of the largest force of marines that has been collected for some time. He did good ser vioe in the field with the marines of the fleet brigade at Boyd’s Neok and Tullfinney. Commander S tell wagon, of the sloop Pawnee, in his report, says he has sent a detachment of ma rines, under Lieutenant Breese, United States Ma rine Corpß, to occupy toe fort. Ho also says: “ I have directed Commander Creighton to proceed carefully up Black river, and have despatched the tug Catalpa, with Lieutenant Commander Henry and Ensign Glass, prepared to open communication by the army code of signals with Major General Sherman, who is said to be some twelve miles off.” Admiral Dahlgren has issued an order for the maintenance Of toe authority of toe United States in Georgetown. He first says: “ Conformably to toe laws of too United States, slavery no longer exists within the limits of the Union. Persons re siding there who thus become freemen wIU to future enjoy toe fruits of their own labor.” Nbw York, March 7 .—The steamship Costa Rica arrived at this pert today from Asplnwall, with a million and a quarter In treasure, and nearly x,ooo passengers.

Collision at Bristol on tbe Philadelphia aad Trenton Ballroad. FIVE PERSONS' KILLED AND THIRTY SEVEN WOUNDED. Full Details of the Catastrophe—Humanity of the People of Bristol. [Special Correspondence of The Press. 3 Bristol, Pa,, Maroh 7.—A sad aooldent oflourred, about half past 3 o’olook this morning, at the Phila delphia and Trenton Ballroad Station In this town. I have succeeded In gathering full particulars, and my statements I have endeavored to make accurate, by carefully collecting all those In circulation, and seeking corroborative evidence for the one I now make myself. It seems that the Adams express freight train, which left the Kensington depot at 13 20 A. M., when it had arrived within a short distance of Sobenck’s station, ran off the track through some disability or disarrangement of the machinery of the engine. It remained helpless on the traok, but the persons in charge had sufficient foresight to dis play signal lights and send out persons to warn the “Owl Tine,” which was expected every moment; as It was already far behind time, having waited at the Kensington depot nearly four hours for Southern passengers. These expedients Were suc cessful; the “utvl” train 'was duly warned, and, approaching slowly, pushed the disabled train to the station at Bristol. The night was unclouded; the sky was studded with stars and the moon shone brightly, and these were, perhaps, the only reasons the oonductor of the Os train has for not doing as the conductor of the. freight train had done—taking measures to wars the Washington train of the obstructions. It was also every moment due, having.left Washington at 6F. M. The trains at the station extended for a great length along the traok, and just In the rparls a curve, whloh shuts off the station and its sur roundings from view until a swift-approaching train is some distance around it. The detained trains had been standing at the -station, perhaps, not more than five minutes, when the thunder of the approaching Washington oars was heard, and the flaring light of the reflector In front of the engine was almost Immediately visfble as the messenger of death came careering round the curve. There was no time to warn the oooupants of the rear cars, whloh were la the most danger, even If anybody had had the presence or mind to' attempt snch a thing. On came the snorting engine, Its oc cupants apparently, entirely ignorant of the awful damageltwas about to Inflict. The “Owl” train consisted of nine cars, all filled with passengers, perhaps 56Q In number. The rear oars wereoooupied chiefly by soldiers, many of them slck.and wounded. In less time than it takes to write this sentenoe, the engine struck the rear car with a terrific crash, In termingled with the shrieks of the frightened passengers, the sound of rending timbers, and the hissing of fast-escaping steam., The. engine, in striking the car, ran under it, .so to spSak, so that the engine was enclosed within the car, whose rear truck hung over the tender, whilst Its front truck was In close companionship with the guide-wheels of the engine, - The two oars ahead were crushed to splinters and scattered on every side. Most of the passengers in the rear car were crushed forward lute a narrow compass In the front, while the remainder were piled around the engine, scalded by the escaping steam, burnt, by the heated Iron of Its boiler, or burled In the debris. The stoves In some of the oars were Overturned, but were imme diately righted in those uninjured, but In the smashed cars the fired coals Ignited the splintered timber, and we would have had over again the awful conflagration on the Pennsylvania Ballroad with men and women for fuel, had it not been for the prompt action of the members of the Bristol Fire Company, who Immediately brought out' their en gine and extinguished the incipient flames. The work of exhuming the poor beings under the ruins was then vigorously commenced. Those In the rear eould not begot at without axes, and what was la taot was hewed to pleceß before the dead and ago- Bleed wounded eould be reached. I subjoin a list which Is, I believe, full and correct: . .'

D, 18 th Connecti cut, missing—37. The ladies ol Bristol, as soon as the wounded' were taken there, busied themßelves in assist ing the surgeons in binding up the wounds, by fur nishing lint and handagcß to large quantities and preparing comforts for the sufferers.. Houses were thrown open for the admission of the suffering, and everything that warm hearts ■ could suggest was done to mitigate the horror that had sd suddenly visited toe quiet little town. Coffee was prepared and milk punch and savory viands to tempt the palate, so that toe poor fellows lacked nothing that humanity oould furnish to mitigate their pain. Two of tbe killed were citizens, the rest were sol diers, and it is believed that toe missing man, Peter Randeil, is also hilled or crushed to pleoes, as his bedyhad not been found up to, 8 o’clock this morn ing. Asa Drew, the soldier of toe 27th Massa chusetts, was ahoy of but seventeen years, and was returning to his home In Burllngtott, Yt., after three years absence In active service in the field. His money, on leaving Washington, was sufficient to carry him to New York city only. When this fact was discovered among his comrades they Imme* diately raised, by contribution, enough not only to take him home, but to allow him to entertain himself by the way. But Providence wUled’that he should never behold his home again. Though he had tempted death perhaps a hundred times oh toe battlefield, he fojnnd it where it was least expected, in a pleasant oar, far away from all of war’s dan gers, surrounded by joyous and laughing comrades. The fireman, James Wilde, wag killed while oiling the engine. He was found covered with debris, crushed horribly. His oil oan, battered and flat tened, was found, however, grasped tightly in his hand, and was h powerful means of recognition. He was, it is stated, on toe outside of the locomotive, oiling, and when the crash came was eaught be tween the sides of the broken car and toe locomo tive as it entered. Besides smashing the three rear cars, the shock throw two other ears of the train off their trucks and hurled them on the Bristol bridge, where they now are. Passengers in forward oars were thrown violently out of their seats and severely bruised. The engineer avers that the collision could not be avoided; that he saw no signal-light and allowed the train to take its regular course, that Is, dashing around the ourve straight through Bristol, He saw tbe obstructions only when it was too late. His en gine was badly smashed, so as to be almost useless. The acoldent oaused a detention of several trains, and the debris is being removed rapidly to allow a prompt resumption of travel. The wounded were all well oared for, and before nine o'clock this morn. Ing every ease had been attended to. A TJ. S. Sur geon was on the train, and with the assistanoe of the local physicians Bueoeeded to giving this prompt relief. You, a short time ago, published a frightful chap ter-of railroad accidents, ell boourrlxg within toe space of two weeks. You may add this as happen log in toe third week, and aa the worst of au, klUng and woundlng/orty-two. M, THE PRESS.—PHILADELPHIA, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1666.

Hugh McCulloos ?0 SWTfitary of the Tree- Bury, His onhnlmous tanfirmation la another evi dence of the estimation in which he is held as a financier and as a gentleman of oonrteous ana re fined manners. It is generally believed that the Hon., Fbbbman Olaekb, of New York, late member of Congress, will be his successor as Comptroller of the Cur rency, although the nomination has not yet been made. The Supreme Court will meet to-morrow to de liver opinions, and will soon adjourn for the term. REGULATIONS JOB TRAVEL ACROSS TUB PLAINS. Governor Evans, of Colorado Territory, now here, has been authorized by Major General Porn to give notice to emigrants and freighters across the Plains that full and ample arrangements have been made for the proteoUon of aU overland travel. Orders have been Issued designating points for trains to be assembled for escort. A large number of troops are now en their way to the Plains. Two years ago a select committee of the Senate, charged with the investigation of the business of furnishing transports to the Government, reported Captain Dopes as being a defaulter to the amount of a million of dollars, and his name was widely published in that discreditable connection. Recent ly, Solicitor WaixiNß, of the War Department, examined Into the case, and says, from all the facts, he was brought to the unhesitating conclusion that Captain Loess's conduct, Irakis transactions with the Government, has been honest, honorable, and patriotic, and he was entitled to the respect and confidence of the Government and the country. Senator Gbimhs, who was ohalrman of .the select committee, expresses his gratification that Solicitor Whitiko exonerates Captain Loess from all fault In his transactions with the Government. THE REMAINS OF SENATOR HICKS. The remains of the late Senator Hioks were es corted to Baltimore to-day by the’military. BLOCKADE-RUNNER CAPTURED. The Navy Department has received information of the capture of the blockade-runner Deer, a prize to the Monadnock and others In Charleston harbor, on the 18th day of February. A PLOT TO ASSASSINATE THE PRESIDENT. A man, named Clements, has been turned over to thenlvll authorities by the military, against whom the evidence Is positive that he had all his plans ar, ranged for the assassination of tto President on la. auguratlonday. Hois in jaUhere, The report that a man named Thomas Clements had matured his plans for the assassination of the President, on inauguration day, had its origin In the following facts: Clements and another person oame from Alex andria, Va., on Saturday. They were both ex tremely disorderly, and seemed to have been drink ing freely. Clements, in particular, was very abusive, and said, using gross and profane lan guage, that he came there to kill the President; that ho was late by about one half an hour, and that his Saviour would never forgive him for falling to do so. That he would do it that night, namely, the sth of March, that he came expressly to do It, and he would do St before he left town.• He fur ther said the Government had robbed him of ascer tain sum or money. This is the substance of an affidavit,., Clements has been turned over from the military to the civil authorities, and has been committed lor trial, . The Richmond papers of yesterday have beta received. They still decline or are unshleto publish anything concerning the movements ef General Sbeenan. a Mr. FOOT,.of Vermont, havlng-bem informed that tie viee President -would not be preßsofc thie morning, moved teat the Senate proceed, to the appointment of a President pro few. . ! • Mr. OLABK, of Few Hampehirt, then offered si resolution, which was unaniinooelr adopted, that Senator Fetter, of Connecticut, preside as said Officer.

What action does the Senator from Kansas propose ? < Mr. LaKE. I ash a vote. - i PBBATB OIT THBIK ADHIBBIOW. Hr HOWARD said Arkansas is in i stale of insurrec tion, so declared by the President's proclamation, which has not been revoked, and so tar as was known, theitateof war which existed in Arkassassttll exists, and Arkansas, as a separate comsaanity is unjustly and criminally encaged in a war with the United States. Her people, therefore, are enemies of the United Stales, seeking to overthrow the Government, and using all tb efr faculties t-o pot an et dto it, sc as to base upon its mins the so-called Confederate Government. While this Mate of ihiniß endures in Arkansas, and while she i« recognized as. a community hostile to the united States, and waging actoal hostility to the United States, itis not tee right of her’peopte. in any form, to send either Senators or EeprerenUfcivea to the Con gress ol the United States. Such persons have no right here, be cane e their constituents are ene mies of the United States, and a con&Utoency hostile to the United States have no right to he represented. v It is an insult to ilie loyal Stafces of the Union to seek to have inch Senators and Representatives admitted here to participate in the enactment of laws; to participate with those whose constituents are not disloyal. He could tee no greater absurdity than to foist upon us Senators from the so-called Confederate “States at war with ns. These claimants of seats ‘as Senator* may be honest and competent to discharge the high duties pertaining to the position, but this duestion does not now arise. she question to be decided is this t Whether a State whose peop e, as an organisation, are enemies of the Unit'd States, and who are tseekiog to over throw the Government, have any right to ate: that their representatives be indacted into office It was vain to tell him that the people have this right white in insurrection aiainet the Government; or that the Presi dent hss the right to impartto rebel states the right to be represented in either Borne. It*would beasnurea aor able for a foreign nation at war'aratnit the United Slates to ask to be represented as for the rebel States to make each application. The proper time and occasion to meet the question is in the presentation of the cre dential* themselves.. We have no business to accept them. They have no business at ourtable*. This ques tion was now introduced unexpectedly to him, bat he should hot cease to object to the admission of Senators ‘from States which have no right to representation. Mr. liAHE, of Kantas, replied that the Senate had al ready received the credentials of the Senators elected in Louisiana and Arkansas. /It was to him a most sin gular anhouncementof the Sfcnatorfrom Michigan, that it was kb insult to the Senate for loyal mania insurrec tionary district* to petition in a respectful manner to this body. It sounded harsh in his ears, that loyal I s e ?* * surreetionary districts were to be denied the risht of petition. rema,lr ® d ®bat he never intimated that thepetitions of loyal men are not to be received. What he did say, was. It was an inauti to falihfhl and loyal &iB l th^ fc v 8t ? teß in rebeUion against the P Ditea States should be here represented. He said no thing against petition. " ’ Mr. LAb E raid he did not misunderstand the Senator, who asserted It would be an insult to theloyal States to receive these credentials. He wUlnotdeuy-it, and If.ha doeß 4 eny- it. he will deny what he knows to be trie. These credentials emanate from people as loyal as the Senator himielf. The organizations oi Louisiana, Ar kansas. and Tennessee, are those of loyal men, who have suffered more for the Union than the Senator from Michigan and hie constituents. .It lea prayer partaking of the character of aqwlUion from jpyal, faithful, *uf ferii g, devoted men, and the Senator can rise in his place and ,undertake to deny the reception of a petition fromloyal men! It is-an insult to the memoiy of onr ; fathers who framed the Con stitution, which we claim to be the palladium of our liberty for the prelection of just such me& u make these petitions. The credentials of thefienators from loniriana and. had already been re ceived, and stall we now insult them by refusing to receive similar petitions? thill we say that we despise and hate you because you hive been placed in such a position by tUe acts of the rebel minority Inpower. and not because of any act of yourow*-—wedeny you the constitutions! right of.pefcition? The Senator certainly does not mean that their petition should be insultingly refared and rejected. . . Mr. COfINkSS, of California, had no objections to re ferring the credentials. It appeared that the Senator firm Kanes* was mote persistent than was, compatible with propriety ora regard for the Oft-repeated opinion of the Senate on the que*tion involved.; He* Ur. Coxmefi, would not say how his vote would have been east ou the Louisiana. question, had it been brought to an issue before Congress ad journed, but it was dear to the Senate and tne country that there wss great impropriety ip pushing forward this application in the maimer ii had been for the admission of Senators from those States. Daring thelste eereicn the Senator had seated by his side, and under hu patronage, a gentleman named Fishbaek. whose credentials .were'presented as a Senator from Arkansas .Subsequently, in the investigation, there were read here tb* proceedings of tne Secession Con* : ventton, bfld in 18(0. under the patronage of a man ssmed Jefferson Davis, in which-the eald Fisfcback figure d. who was willing to coins forward to take an . oath that he had neither aided nor counselled rebellion against tee United grates These proceeding* show that Fithback was a prominent member of that Secession Convention, and offered some of the most offen sive reto.ntioss at&inst the United States, and tele graphed Jeff Davis, when; the, convention carried Arkansas ont of Mhe Union, for new orders what to do ntxV&nd helped to organize a military force against the United States. And this i» the man the Senator from Kansas, who is patriotic, wants to be ad milt'd to this body. . It is a delic ate matter to admit Senators. The question is to be deliberately oooaidered and not pressed, and Senators are not to be told because >b*y object to the*'credentials that they are against the right of petition; He hoped the Senator from titchlgau would not continue to object to their presentation, Let them go to the table, and wh«n Congress again meets, and when both houses and the Executive shall have additional light, let us take up the whole? subject and act intelligently. / Mr. LAKE. 3 deny the right of the Senator=ftom Call fontiato lecture me; I utterly deny his right.

Article with the liADibb,—We have already taken occasion to speak in approving terms of the celebrated << Eureka Zephyr,™ of which Mr. John M, Finn, southeast corner of Arch and Seventh streets, is the originator and proprietor. As a substitute for the German Zephyr*, It surpasses, vastly, any other article that has ever been intro duced In the market. In fact, the “ Eureka** is rapidly becoming a universal favorite. In fibre it is almost equal to the imported article, while in colors, even to the most delicate shading, it has never been surpassed, and tee colors, moreover, are quite equal to the German Zephyrs in preserving their brilliancy. Nor is this all. The great economy of using the ** Eureka Zephyr,™ being fully fifty per cent cheaper than the imported Zephyrs, is another consideration which should not be overlooked; nor is It, if we may judge from the Immense sale which, the “ Eureka™ has attained. For all purposes to which-Zephyrs are applied, this splendid substitute is found to be as desirable as its Imported rival, and, being sold at one-half the price, we . are not surprised to hear of the epormouß sales which, in Mr; Finn’s competent hands, it has attained, * -., v r • The Fbizb-Mbdai.

As the property Is near the new Sugar Creek well, and within three-quarters of a mile of a well strack last week of about thirty five barrels, no doubt a large increase will be realized to the Company.

The property of this Company consists of fifty.sores In fee; with a creek frontage sufficient for the finking orthtrteen wells. A second well Is now in the process of sinking, with exoellent prospects of suoeees. The shares of this Company are but eighty thousand in number, at least two-thirds of whloh Is hold by the Board of Directors, who, being gentlemen of Integrity and honor, have devoted their energies to the development of the property, and are now about to be the recipients of the good fortune their labors deserve.

The safe was furnished the county, about one year ego, by Diebold, ‘Rahman, 4 Go., Cincinnati, as a Burglar and Fire-Proof Safe, having inside a steel chest, with Covert’s patent look. The safe has proved a bad failure as to being burglar-proof., The mode of operating upon the safe seems to have been similar to that upon a safe of the same kind and make In tbe county .treasurer’s office at Adrian, Michigan, which was robbed last week of over $30,000. In tlds safe at Syoamore the bottom of tbe stoel chest was driven away from the door so as to leave an Inch of space the full length.
