Soon, to-day, a> fire occurred in the loDg
oak at Jersey City, where.the freight
and passenger depot of the Erie Railroad1
is located- Before the firemen reached
the apot0 the depot and five frame build?
ings were in flames. High winds' scat-,
tered .the sparks and embers in all direc?
tions,' and the fire spread to the Pavobia>
ferry house and Taylor's oaloop. Other
alarms were sounded, and the entire city
fire department was soon on baud, but
their effprts were partially useless, ' in
consequence of the scarcity of water.
The New York fire department steamer
Fuller, with a number of smaller tug
boats; threw immensequaDtities of water
on tho flames, but thta dtd little towards
extinguishing tho flames. The depot
master of the Erie Railroad, assisted by
a number of oiti/.eus, succeeded in re?
moving a largo nnmber of cars bsyond
the reach of the flames, thus materially
lessening the loss. It is impossible at
the present moment to estimate tbu pro?
bable loss, but it will dot fall short of
?1.500,000 ou the buildings, slips.1 and
merchandise. ' The loss on the building*
and slips falls ou the railroad company,
wbije that on the merchandise falls ou
the shlppora Bud consignees. A dense
a m oke arose from the conflagration. (It
was feared thashipping inigbtb.e endan?
gered, bnt fortunately they feBOepB&da
mage. At last accounts, Taylors'saloon
was oompletely gutted. The new freight
depot, wfaioh cost #20,000, has been also
destroyed, together with 400 bales;..of
cotton, Valued at ?40,000. The greater
portion of tho freight in the .old depot
was also destroyed, making a loss of
$60,000. ; The loaa is. roughly estimated
at this writing as follows: Passenger de?
pot, ^.pOOr feriy bqildiott $18)0001
ferry bridge, $10,000; new freight build?
ing, $20,000; cotton, ?40,000; old freight
depot, $15,000; freight, $50,000.

to-day, issued an attachment against
Austin Bidwell, alias N. A. Warren, on
an affidavit in the suit of the Bank of

forgeries whereby the Bank of England
lost $497,000. \\
The ton of Dr, Tyng's church called
at the Tombs shortly after Foster'a body
was out down, and asked if it could, not
be allowed to remain there until after?
noon, when it would- be removed to the
residence of his wife. ' The request was
immediately granted, and, the remains
will be removed about dusk.. The pri?
soners in the Tombs'have been closely
confined, and visitors excluded to-day.
All the prisoners appear very despond?
ent, in consequence of the execution of
Foster. Stokes baa-hardly spoken a

The special Assembly committee ap?
pointed to investigate the affairs of Erie
have commenced their session here, at

: WAstonotoi*, Maroh 21.?Tbere will
bo a determined effort made to close up
the Galdwell ease in the Senate, to-mor?
row, although it is not oertain that it
can be done. Governor Morton' will,
however, use all his influence to accom?
plish tbat result. There are quite a
number of Senators who desire yet. to
speak on it, and several of those who
have already spoken want to bo heard
once more. If nothing is done with
Caldwell, there will not likely bo much
time wasted in the Clayton ease.
The outstanding legal tenders wore
further inoroased to-day by payments
from tub Treasury Department to tho
amount of upwards of $1,250,000, drawn
from the reservo fund of tbe Treasury.
Application was made to-day for tbo
appointment of Edmond Stophenson, as
receiver of the Ball's Head Bank. The
decision is reserved. It is stated tbe
Board of Direotors, which met to-day,
were making preparations to open the
bank again Monday.
There has been prepared, and will be
officially approved by the Seoretary of
tbe Treasury to-morrow, tbe first deed
given by tbe Commissioner of Internal
?evenue for lands sold under authority
of Section 4 of the Aoi approved March
2,1867, which provides tbat tbe Com?
missioner of Internal Revenue shall have
charge of all real est de which has or

Snrchano or otherwise to the United

the laws relating to internal revenue, and
of all trusts oreated for tbe use of the

due them; and with tbe approval of the
Secretory of the Treasury, may sell and

snoh property was seized-by'the Uuited
States for taxes due, and sold and bid in

, j Iu tbe Senate, _ to-day, Mr. Feoton
offered the fullowiug resolution, whioh
was ordered to be printed and laid over:
Resolved, Tbat tho Committee on Fi?
nance, be directed to inquire what mea?
sures can be adopted by tbe Governmeut
whioh shall give to the country a cur?
rency Convertible into gold at the option
of the holder; thus securing greater
stability in the exchanges of -trade, in

and in the compensation of labor, and to

Mr. Howe considered the evidence of
Mr. Caldwell's election overwhelming,
and tbat, therefore,-there waa ho founda?
tion for the resolution of tbe committee;
but as to the question of expulsion, it

Mr. Morrill, of Maine, said the promi?
nent/act vf*s ooncedod and denounced
on all hands, that in a eenatorial alec
tieft ih tbe State of Kansas, in 1871,
scenes which were disreputable to the
people of that State, and whioh affected
tbo public 'welfare and tbe fundamental
principles of the Government, took'
place. . Tbo Senate had- beau under the
shadow of this arda't mhity fpr many
days,, and to the honor and dignity fcfi
that body, there had been no exhibition,
of partisanship oo^either aide. He did
not regard the question of State rights
as entering,into .the determination uf tbtf
question at all. It was '? pre-eminently
within the Jartodiotionvol.the Bepate to

sold. : " " . ' '
Stewart opposed the resolution. The
Senate had no right to try the Legisla?
ture of Kansas. Oaldwell bad obly done,
in an exaggerated degree, what was too
prevalent in this country. He believed
the American people were waking up to
this thing, and the use of money in ?
eleotions had to be stopped; but be could
not go against law and hia ooneoionce.
Ho maintained the testimony waa merely
hearsay and unworthy of credence
Duriqg his remarks, a colloquy ensued
between himself and several other Sena?
tors as to what was really proved by the
testimony. Pending the discussion, the
Senate went into exeoutive session, and
then adjourned.
BbooktjYN, March 21.?Charles Good -
riob, a wealthy real estate dealer, bro?
ther of Hon. W. W. Goodrioh, was
found dead, to-day, in the basement of
one of a row of new brown Stone booses,
which he bad just erected.
An extraordinary escape of six Com
rnunist prisoners from tho fortress of,
Port Louis, between Brest and La Bo-1
ohelle, on tbe French ooast, rivals the
attempt of Monte Christo to escape from
the Chateau1 DTf, as related by Alexan?
der Dornas.. The writer, who tells the
story in the London Times, says that he
and five companions discovered a way
from their dormitory to a cellat under
it, and determined to make a road from
tho cellar to the sea. They sank a shaft
in the earth, thirteen feet deep, and ex?
cavated a tunnel forty-six feet, till they
reached the wall of the rampant. All
this had been doue with tbe nails torn
out of the woodwork/but when the ram?
pant wall was reached the nails were
useless. It is constructed of enormous
blooks of granite, joined by Boman
cement, and is sixteen feet thiok. The
prisoners, however, tore a bar ont of a
window, and by indescribable labor, ex?
cavated a holo through whioh they could
creep out on the rooks, whence they es?
caped to England.
'Jean Puul Richter says: "To insure
modesty, I would advise the education
of -the Boxes togother; for two boys will
preserve twelve girls, or two girls twelve
boys, innocent, amid winks, jokes and
improprieties, morely by tbat instinotive
sense which is tho forerunner of ma
tared modesty. Bat I will guarantee
nothing in a school where girls are alone
together, and still less where boys are."
In Washington, tho other day, a fe?
male membor of a colored theatrical
troupe went into a dry goods store and
called for somo flesh-colored hose. The
olerk placed before her a box of blaok
etookiDgs, and that impertinent young
man has never been able to tell whether
he was blown up by nitro-glyoerine, or
was struck by a snot from a seventy-two
pounder.
"Fellow-trabblors," said a colored
preaohsr, "ef I had been eatln' dried
apples for a week, an' den took to drink
in' for a monf, I couldn't feel more
swetl'd up dan 1 am dis minit wid pride

In Texas, the other day, u doctor rode

'A what, sir?" said tbe learned oonnsel.
'A wine morobant and shoemaker."
'Thon," said the counsel, "I may de?
