merely.- to • gratify_ persolial,,,eurinsity.;'*. we
have received the proof to satisfy our own mind, that
the 4 -- uedvm of ntetifosing to prevent the inaugura
tion of ..elidrew atilin, was disiussed in a Dem
ocratic caucus, held no later than Monday night last.
In`that caucus it was boldly declared to be a
duty of the Democratic party foreibly to pre
vent the ceremony of inauguration, and a
Representative was delegated to protest against
the proceeding. Wialain caucus, the Dame
cratio leaders were not wanting in boldness.
While conspiring alone, they had the courage
to debate any question of violence,' to carry out
their base ends and promote - their ambitious
designs,•but When they were summoned to con
front the people—te meet face to face the war,
worn veterans who assembled to honor Andrew
G.Durtin's ' second installation to office, they
shriank from their villainous designs,and fled af
frighted and in disriaay from the porch of the cap=
itol. On the morning of the inauguratiem,Demo•
oracle legislators who were disposed to render
the . occasion the rcsxct "which was
Its due, were approached by their parti
sans and appealed to to absent them
selves, on ground that the ceremonies would
be nothing more that "the orgies of a horde of
eamnedblack abolitionists." Other degislatore Were
threatened With the veugeanca of the party,
if they countenanced the proceedings. In this
mannera few weak minded men were induced
,
to stand aloof from hcatoringeone,of the great
occasion& which serve to nerpetuate . the bless
ings!of civil and religions liberty ; but the
great object of the conspiracy entered into by
the Democratic caucus, utterly failed becatise
theleading actors in the, affair quailed before the
exhibitionat popular enthusiasm on the occa
sion. indeed, the man who would have inter
posed hi . Ma r -the proceedings of the inaugura
tion. would have been hung tha leafless bran&
of one of the trees of the capitol' grounds, a fit
sserffictrand an example to traitors.
—We do not refer to this little incident in
theiscret history of the treason-sympathizers
at the Eitiate Capital, for the purpose of creating
a sensation. The.day for sensations on the sub
ject oftreason has gone by ; and men now re
gard its facts as they do slay - other vice that
they have in their power, and which they are
resolved to eradicate. We allude to it rafher
to exhibit the desperate straits to which the
Democratic party has been reduced—the awful

inclined to enter- = -and the _diabolical spirit

pressed -an 'opinion on this tailiject, not so
strongly in favor of any particular locality on

" BKLIMON'III, Jan. 20, 1864.
Last night di Odd morning at two o'OloOk
the Peuruaylvinla House and the Are.ade build
ings were buriled doitlt". ,
floury Brokerhidl was the owner of the Penn
sylvania House, which wee" ,occupied by 'Jno.
Copenhaver; as a hotel.. Ccpenhaver lost nearly
all of his furniture and bedding. Henry Bro
kerhoff saved part of the goods which were in
the Store." Jito. Harris, who occupied one of
the stores, had all his'stick of drugs burned.—
Wm. M'Olelland saved part of ,his btock of
clothing and goods. George Livingston lost
nearly" all his books and stationery. Jno.'
Montgomery saved the greater part of his stock
of tailoring goods.
-The fire burned furiously in the Brokerboff
building, and the wind carried spafka over. to
the roof or Arcade building, on the other
sid of the street. Soon -the roof was in flames,
and the different occupanta of the.building be
to carry out their 'gdods. Stemburger
saved all his stock of clothing, and Christian
Derr had all his goods carried out, but they
were very much damaged. Orvis Alprander
saved the contents of their office. Mni. Ducas;
Who occupied the upper paft of the building as
a dwelling house, had her furniture saved, but
very much dainaged. W. F. Reynolds & Co.,

To the. Editor of the
.. D,04 Telegraph. •
The' elegraphlc dlipatchee from -Washington
state that"a large delegation of men are here
to.influence the action of Congress to locate the
new navy - yard et New. London:"... This was to
.hri expected, audit cannot but make the, public
believe that the recent action:of the House of
Representatives in reference •to the location of
the new yard was hasty and Without a proper
appreciation of the facts. When- the . city , of
Philadelphia proposed donating tothe Glover&
ment League Island as a site for the: new navy
yard, Congress passed a resolution authorizing
the secretary of the Navy to accept the gift,
with the restriction that , a board of naval and
scientific officeraaftSi examination would report
favorkale as to the enitablenessof the proposed,
site to? anew first class navy yard, which reap:
lotion also directed that sites offered at New
London and Portland should also be examined
by the: same commission. This commission
was duly, appointed . by. the Secretary of the
Navy, who highly approves of the selection 'of
a siteon the Delaware river, anlwae composed
inpart of officers and civil engineers of the high
eat grade in the navy, at the head of which, was
Admiral, Paulding, a gentleman of :high scien
tific attainments, who, after a careful and labo
rious investigation, .passing over, a period ;of
several morithsi daring which time , at several
differentpoints on. League Island, the soil !
examined to the depth of thirty pr more feet,
by boring, they found even thepounder portion
of the island composed.ef alluvial soil,. entirely
unsuited to bear the, weight of „the, mornelm
structures that is.proposed to erect within. the
encloaure, while;:the, greater portion. of the
Island,', especially that part , where dry-dock
would 'have to be erected, was composed-of
mere beg or marsh, subject las entirety over
flown As every, high or flood ;tide.; ; /Jor r dpcks
wonld-have.to•baerectedfon the of the
stream, consequently on, the most insecure pony
don:of theisland ; and as:the NavelCummis-
I shin_ had before them an example in the dilapidaL,
ted atrttcture used' as ; n ordnance buildharg . in
the Washington Navy Yard, which ,gas but..
recently built' :Apes ; piles twenty-five feet
length, they could not believe it possible to
resort to piling successfully to : build dry-docks
so as to bear theithicerise weight they would be
subjected to, and were forcixtto report adversely
p 'League Island, and to 'recommend the site
minted at - New-Lendon.
Allsensibliamiti who 'have examined the eirb
jiint cannot'hnt admit that if the advidttes of
the League Island site are successful in foisting
von - the government this mush pot, that it
will result in the expenditure of many millions
of money and the final abandonment of the
place, which would be left as a standing mon.
ument of the folly of the people of the present
generation,or of the cupidity of speculators who
"The NV* Iroa-Clad Navy 'Yard."
PROM czwitiks, touNry.
have recently invested largely in water lots ors
the "neck," and who desire to (nhance their
Value even at the expanse of a scitf.n lug and
hlaed bag country.
As the commission was icstr:eted in their
examination by a resolution of Congress to the
only site presented on the Delaware at League
Island, a further examination was notmade on
thatriver, brit'a sub3equent examination made
at the instance of Admiral Smith, chief of yards
and docks; resulted in an earnest recommenda
tion of a site in the vicinity of Chester, which
really is the only proper site on the river below
Philadelphia. The ground is well adaptui in
every particular, being of a high and dry na-
Ante, underlaid by astrata of granite rendering
the foundation secure and permanent.
As a number of :public - spirited citizens of
Chester and vicinity have tendered as a free
gift to the goyernment, two hundred acres of
the very bekt portion of the beach near Ches
ter, a proper regard to justice would require an
examination of this end all other sites on the
Delaware before an — acceptance was made of
League Island. And, with this in view, Kr:
Broomall, the able and talented member from
the West• Chester district has ,presented 'a bill
in Congress, antheriiing the appointment of a
bad commissioners tole coMpossd of Ecieti
title and naVal officers, mone'of whoin are to
reside - within'fdty miles of the,Delaware river,
nor io.oWn land 'on said river, 'to examine the
various' sites " offered and to locate 'the yard,
Whidi le the rule that haa been adopted in lo
cating all our, navy yards, and no good reason
Carl be even' why League Island should be
Made a close corporation and the old "estab
lished precedents abandoned.
The'energy whisk is being used to confine
the selection by law to Ltsregue Mind, and
League Island only, is evidence sufficient that
the parties are unwilling to place its meats and
demerits in competition with other points,
which have at least tonal claims for a fair ex
amination. •
If League Island is the only place presented
on the Delaware, and eastern and western mem
bers are called upon to decidebetween that site
and New London, is it not almost certain that
they will vote in favor of New London. It Is
not supopsed that they are all fools and cannot
see through the flimsy da1131.3 made for that
particular spot. •
As a Pennsylvanian, deeply interested in the
welfare'of the whole State, and especially in
the coal, iron and lumber interest, I cannot but
urge that all honest and fair moans should be
used to secure the gloat national work to the
State, without jeopardizing its location within
'Ourborders by mere local interest, which
should yield in the general gpcd of the whole.
The great English navy yard-is located seven
miles from the city limits of London, which is
much further from its centre than ()heater Is
from the Philadelphia State house. If Phila
delphia aspircs.to be the largest territorial city
in the world why does stio not imitate her next
greatest rival, the city_ of London, and noire
the navy yard to be placed beyond the city
limits to insure safety to her inhabitants from
accidental explosions of large (giantlike of gun
powder. . •
Recently some4uns of large calibre made by
a Philadelphia foundry, could not be tested at
the'Philadelphia navy yard for want of a slut
fitiebt-range slid had to be removed to another
place. Tbe.greater / ividth of- the river at Chat
ter would afford ample range.
Let Philadelphia act with proper public
spirit and submit the claims of League Island
to an honest competition, and if that place btu,
the merits claimed for it, let it be ad'opted, but
if not do notlet us drive this public work be
.
yond the boundary of our own State.

XXXVIII Congress-First Session

WASEIIIiGTON; Jail - . 21.
Oa motion of Hr. Summer, all prior orders
were postponed and the Senate proceeded to the
consideration of . the proposed rule requiring an
additional oath.
Mr; Johnson then.proceeded to address the
Senate On the third propoiltio6.- Did the law
of January, 1662, requiring the oath to be taken
by the officers include Senator& If it did, was
it constitutional? If it became operative, was
it proper and expedient? He conceded that the
government derived all its power from the
Constitution.
The absence of the delegation of the power
in the Constitution is restriction of the power,
as under State Constitutions we are bound to
show the existence of this poWer,' before we at
tempt to, exercise It. He was Opposed to plan
ing tlte negro on political equality with the white
art a greater evil to the slave than the master.
What man would not rather suffer death a
thOusand times than to be brought to political
degradation? Srich degradation was . not neces
sary to the cruthing out of the rebellion, and the
restoration - of the - Union, The day was fast ap
preaching. If the power of the government was
exerted as it ought to. be, the military power of
the-rebellion would be crushed andthe people of
the South would share in heart as well as in
the bles•lngite a . restored Union. In the
language .of Webster; this government of ours
Was not a consolidated, but a united onej—not
chose like•together crushed and brilsed, but
likethe world harmoniously confessed—w here
'order and variety rise, and though all things
differ, all agree.
Mr. Howard thought this Was a simple pro
position, that every Senator should, hereafter,
lake his oath or be:excluded from thht
was rather . ..late 'in the, day to , say that it was or
dering agrevioui wrOng against persons whose
hands - *ere, red with the blood of` innoc ent, loyal people, when we simply ask them '•l:fr
their representatives, wlietr they present them
selves, to take such an oath , as this.

enough to reach an• honest man's contempt:
All lovers of country, the conservatives,;assett
their ascendency. Such men as that gentleman
will be - hurled la oblivion. The conservative
members are not to' be intimidated by loud
talk; he would not defend the loyalty of his
district on a mere private insinuation.
Mr. Grinnell (Iowa) stoke in behalf of man

Mr. Kelley (Pa.) spoke is favor of proteCting
and encouraging American industry. In reply
to Mr. Voorhees, he said there who have-etood
by the country, would not be conslgntd to the
political oblivion to which that gdntleman had
adverted: No man who upheld the National
flog, the cause , of freedom,was ever driven from
'a stage or railroad car by indignant soldiere. •
Mr. Stevens moved that the voisnaitteaxisox 1
Mr. Voorbees claimed the floor. ---
kir. Stevens Said the subject had been ex 1
handed and everybody else. [Lsngitter.]
Mr. Voorhees replied to Mr: Kelley, that the
statement was utterly untitte:Yfot one word of
truth in the pnblinstion. Not an offensive
word was said in his hearing. He.got off the
cars at the place to which he bad pald'lts
and there was tbacend oflt. :Nothing the gen
tleman could say isimrelaluee 'him to fur

respectable• than came from ' lira slanderous
tongue.
Mr. Stevens said thirty ye ire .ago he heard
the tariff question dbianssed Try - Southern, men,
with Calbinui at their 'lead,' ard byWebster
and others on the opposite .610. Their argu
ments were nearly as able as anything said here
.to-day. • [Laughter.] - •
Mr. &doh; had no idea.when hn-Olfered his
amendment that it•would pat, entlemen from
FnErtweet and Horthweet irr such commotion.
His object in submitting it was to raise revenue
and a tax which should reach all classes. •
Mr. Dawes asked -whether the gentleman
would vote to tax real estate.
Mr. Brooke said be would. •
Mr. Dawes replied that New England will
co-operate with you.
Mr. Brooke' amendment to strike =out the
drawback provision was dingreed,to.
Mr. Blau e (Ma) offered an amendment, which
was agreed to by a small majority, that all
vpirite imported prior to the punts of the act,
shall pay an additional duty of flirty cents.
Elijah Ward offered an amendment that such
tax shall not apply to spirits on ship board,
which was disegreed to. The bill as amended
was reported to the House, when this and the
substitute to be offered by Mr. Stevens were'
ordered to be printed u prelimioary to further
