A TunitLI.No SonNE ON A - ItAILROAD.* The Chicago lHipublican gives the particu lars'of the burning of thomagnificent palace sleeping car "City of Chicago." on-the lir lington, Quincy and Chicago railroad, a few nights ago. I says : "The- train was moving atfull speed, when suddenly a kerosene lamp in the rear cnd of the car explodeod, and instantly that part, of the coach was in flames, which with frinhtful rapidity seized the bedding and wood-work. llad it, been the forward lamp, aial tlio flames been driven back upon their prey, there is no doubt, that several lives miust. have ben lest, with such fierceness did the devouring element make progress eveni against the headway of the train. Mr. Bishiop, our informant, was sleeping in the msiddle section, and answering the first, alarmi spranng for the (door. Rct urning to get his boots fromn b~eneathl his berth, lie was driven back in haste by thme flames and stitling smnoke. For a fow minutes the Lit, mnost alarm prevailed, and one or two of the passengers were wvith dilliculty saved from their own frantic effort to leap from tho train. All, however, safely reached the car in front,, but monist of them left, be. hind in their berths suc0h artices of appa rel and valuables as they had laid aside in disrobing for the night. Thiis brought two umnfom tuinat ais out in the light undress uniform, for a winter night, of cott on shirts and drawrs-a state of affairn which in' stantly called for contributions from tihe baggage of their more fortunate fellow passengers. "'While all this was transpiring in time escape of passengers the flames had taken possession of the entire I ll'.fated oar, for ward and aft, and~ wore leaping and stream. ing through the rear windows, presenting a most extraordinary spectacle, as the train kept on its way with heightened speed, it having been decided, on short consultation, 1 to make for the water station at Buda, a run of t wolre tiles, where it was hoped the flames might be drowned ouit. Vain hopeo1 < for the unfortunateocar, instead of being resoued, dragged thie water station and an adjoining wood-pile to share its fite, all being burned together.

In these latter cases the old remedy was retained, which was upon the determination of tho lease, or where there was an express forfeituro for the non-payment of rent, by tho verdict, of magistrates and freeholders, upon a regular trial. General Canby, however, by a recent or iler, has extended the suinmary process of ejectment. provided for in the Act of 1860, to all cases of tenancy, whether verbal or written at will, for a term of years, where the tenant fails punctually to pay the rent. The question yesterday was raised before Judge Moses, whether General Canby's arder applied to cases arising before the or 1er. Judge Moses, while holding that Gonoral Canby's order is not retroactive, has, how wver, directed the ten days' notice to be given as of this day, and resered his do 'isionl until causo is (liten shown reaponsivo o this tiol ice. The cause is as follows: Some months since, Magistrate Kana paux was solicited by Mrs. Franciz, Wilson .o eject from her promises Mr 6amucl liar -is, und6r the Act. of 1866 for rout in arrear. 'eni d'ys' notice, under the A3t, was given >y Mr. Kanapaux, but Mr. llarris 0'.icd iis jurisdiction in such cases, his tenancy being for a term and not at will, as conto - lated by the Act. Mr. ianapaux, deeming he causes insuffioient, ordered thil sheriff ,o proceed. The sherif was notified that if to acted he would have to do so at his peril. cltion inl the mattor was thereby delayed, md in th meanwhile, an order was issued )y Generil Canby, making the Act of 1811t kpplicablo to all tenancies. On this, the ilheriff was again about to proceed, when a uggestiou in prohiuitiou, was filed in the 'ourt of Common Pleas, reciting the facts a the case, and praying that a writ of pro iibition should be directed to the sheriff, uommanding him to delay all proceedings, tpon the ground that the order making the tatute generally applicable was not retro clivo, ,and that ton days' notice should be ;iven before the proceedings of ejeciment an be had. After argument by Mr. Asher D. Cohen or the relator, and Messrs. Magrath & ,owndes contra, Judge Moses decided that he order was not retroactive, and that the en days' notice should be given as claimed, o that relator might show cause why lie hould not be eject ed.-Charleston Courier 011o AND T1119 CONSTITUTIONAL AMIEND, E ENT.-ThO action of the Ohio Legislature n withdrawing its assent previously given o the fourteenth amendment of the Consti ution of the United States opens up a new Lue-stion for tho consideration and decision f Congress, and as a last retort of the ji licial department of the government. The 'esolutiomis of the logislatre repealing tho >ast act ion of that body wero presented to longress to-day by Mr. Ekgleston, who, in >resenting them, said it was an unpleasant luty that he had to perform. This is the first case of retroactive legis ation of this particular character in this ountry, and hence the ouhjeot was referred o the Judiciary Committee, with instruo ion to inquire into the legality of the ac ion of the State Legislature. Another mportant vuiestion involved Is, whether the ?resident. can scnd back to a State tlie ecord of its action ratifying a constitution ti amoendment upon subsequent, action of iuch Legislature, for the resolutions adopt ad request, the return of such recordl. We nill probably have an early report upon the mbject from the Judiiar-y Conimittee, and rhatever maybe the action of the National legislature, the mubject will certainly be aken to the court fom- final adjudication, (lash.
