burnod here last night was tbe old
oflloere' quarters, situated in the rear of
wost block of tho Government building,
and has been occupied for some years
as offices for the Inter-Colonial and
Canada Paoifio surveys. Tbe fire is
supposed to have been caused by cin?
ders, from a grate in one of tho rooms,
and was probably smouldoring for a
long time between the floors. When

only a few charts and plans were saved.
A large numbor of very valuable books,
. papers, plans and drawings of the Paci?
fic survey was destroyod. The Iosb is
variously estimated from $1,000,000 to
81,500,000. It is possible that the
oontents of some of the safes have
escaped. The building was one of tbe
oldest in tbo city, and was very sub?
stantially constructed. Nothing but tbe
walls were left standing.

House, bills were introduced, purchasing
tho Monticollo homestead of Thomas
Jefferson, and granting all public lands
in Alabama for sohool purposes. Wil?
son, of Indiana, moved so suspend the
rules aud adopt the following resolu?
tions:
Whereas, by reason of tho present
monetary stringency, and tho insuffi?
ciency of tho amount of circulating me?
dium, tbo industry and commercial
affairs of tho country bavo been greatly
depressed; and whereas, by reason of
such stringency, tho rf/onuos of tho
Government have been largely dimi?
nished, in oonseqnenco whereof Con?
gress has been asked to increase taxa?
tion to the amount of $12,000,000; and
wberoas, until tho reoont panic, tho
revenues wore ample to moot the cur?
rent expenses of tho Government; there?
fore,
Resolved, That instead of lovying ad?
ditional taxes, tho truo policy lies in
tho enactment of suoh n law or laws ns
will relievo such atriugeaoy, aud supply
tho moans nccossnry to tho business
wants of tho country, by increasing tho
circulating medium; thorohy reviving
business, increasing tho revenue, and
thna avoiding tho necessity of increas?
ing the prosout rates of taxation or da
ties, or tho imposition of additional
taxes or duties.
Resolved, That tho Committee on
Banking und Currency bo instructed to
prepare and report to tho House, with?
out delay, a bill for tho purpose in the
first resolution expressed, aud that said
, ^ ? ? - ........ I , . . . ,.-1
committee have leave to report at aoy
time.
MoCrary, of Iowa, called for the yeas
and nays. Speer, of Pennsylvania, in?
quired whether the question of con
sideration oould be raised. The Speaker
said that question was raised. The mo?
tion was to suspend that rule and ail
other rales. Dawes, of Massachusetts,
remarked that tho subject was before
two committees at present, and had
been discussed in the House last Satur?
day. He suggested that instead of
having a vote now, the resolutions bo
simply introduced, and sot down for
debate at some time, so that the various
views of members might bo brought
out, and tbat tbe Committee of Ways
and Means and the Committee on Bank?
ing and Currency might have benefit; of
those views. The Committee of Ways
and Meaus proposed to report some?
thing to-morrow, which would bo the
subject of debute, cod lined to this mut?
ter. Holmau, of Indiaua, objected to
discussion.
Randall, of Pennsylvania, remarked
that tbe Committee on Banking and
Currency was holding sessions every
day?even during tbo sittings of the
House?listening to the views of gentle?
men from various parts of the country.
Wilson said tbat tbis question of in?
creased currency was exciting u great
deal of public attention, and therefore
he bad drawn these resolutions for the
express purpose of tasting tbo sense of
tbe House, and letting tbo country
know whether or not there was to bo an
inorease of currency. Cox, of Ohio,
wanted to offer un amendment, but tbe
Speaker informed him tbat be oould not
do so under a motion to suspend the
rules. Tbe vote was taken, und result?
ed, yeas 135; nays 98; so, two-thirds not
voting in tbe ullirmative, tbe resolutions
were rejected.
Tbe nomination of Morrison B.
Waite, of Ohio, to bo Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court, was a surprise to
Senators and all others about the Capi?
tol, including tbo Justices of tbo Su?
premo Court, but it did not occasion
the same degree of wondor as when Ca?
leb CuBbing's name was transmitted for
the same office. Subsequently, the Se?
nate, iu executive session, referred tbe
nomination to the Committee on the
Judiciary, who will probably to-morrow
report favorably upon it. Many inqui?
ries were made as to tbo standing of tbis
gentleman, he not having u national re?
putation, but being tho best known in
tbe State of which he is a citizen. Tbe
nomination recalled tbo fuct that be
acted as one of the counsel ut the Ge?
neva Tribunal of Arbitration, und some
of the Senators wero acquainted with
him, as an ublo lawyer of 'bitty years
standing in Ohio. Although a Repub?
lican, hu is not au activo partisan, and
is at tbe present time President of tbe
Ohio Constitutional Convention. It was
discovered, on looking at the Supremo
Court record, that a year ago to-mor?
row, Mr. Waite was, on motion of Caleb
Cashing, admitted to the bar of the
Court as an attorney. Contrary to re?
port, Mr. Waito never hold a judges hip
in Ohio. Senators of both parties
speak well of tho nomination, and there
seems to be uo doubt of tbo confirma?
tion.
Mr. Hayes introduced a bill donating
half of tbe public lands of tho United
States to the Southern States for edu?
cational purposes.
The Judiciary Committee was in?
structed to inquire whether legislation
is necessary to prevent the illegal nse of
tbe American Hag on commercial ves?
sels.
In tbe Senate, tbe Chair laid before
tbe Sunute a communication from tho
Secretary of War, in respouso to a reso?
lution in rcgar 1 to an appropriation for
tho collection and payment of tho boun?
ties to colorod soldiers and sailors. Tbo
loiter stales tbat of tbe appropriation
of $50,000, but 322,000 remain to con?
duct basiness until June 30. Tbe es?
timated expenses per mouth are, at tho
lowest limit, $55,000; therefore, at tbo
cud of April, the entire appropriation
will havo been expended; and unless
somo provision is made, all work will
have to si up and tho elciks uj dis?
charged. Tho S-'cretary recommends
tbat the unexpended balance of the ap?
propriation for tbe collection and pay?
ment of bounties for tbo fiscal year end?
ing Jone 30, 1873, be rendered availa?
ble. Reforred to tbe Committeo ou
Military Afl'iirs.

Duel in Indiana.?Last Saturday
! night, while a party of yonng people of
Jamestown, Boon* County. a town some
fifteen or twenty miles North-west of
here, on the I., B. and W, Railroad,
were returning from a danee, two mem?
bers of tbe party, named Briggs and
MeOlain, the former assistant marshal
of the town, quarreled over the privilege
of accompanying one of the females.
High words ensued, and finally it was
decided to repair to a neighboring com?
mons and settle tbe diffionlty by an ap?
peal to arms. The madmen, for such
tbey were, repaired to tbe spot selected
at mid-night. It was arranged that they
should stand back to back, advanoe
tbreo paces, wheel and fire, the distance
separating them being only six paces.
Tbo arrangement was carried out, aud
at tbe first fire, MeCIain fell, tbe ball
from Briggs' pistol having gone clear
through his neck. Briggs was unhurt.
It is reported that after MeCIain fell,
Briggs walked up to where he lay and
deliberately shot bim twice more, both
balls taking effect in tbe body. Briggs
was arrested and underwent a prelimi?
nary examination, and was heh] to bail
in the sum of $5,000 to await the result
of McClaiu's wounds: The condition
of tbe latter is considered hopeless, as
the two balls last fired into him cannot

An Ex-New York State Senator
Sent ro the Penitentiary.?A remark?
able featuro in tbe proceedings of the
United States Circuit Court, in Now

was tbe senteuco of ten years' imprison
ment which be imposed upon ex-Senator
Wm. M. Graham, who bad been recent?
ly convicted of embezzling abont $170,
000, the property of tho Walkill Na?
tional Bnnk, of which establishment be
bad been President. Judge Benedict,
addressing tbe prisoner, said: "There
are, indeed, no extenuating circum-'
stances in your case. You were the
President of a National Bank, and as
such you shamefully abused the confi?
dence reposed in you, and stole the'
capital of tbe bank to use in your own'
private speculations. I, therefore, feel|
justified in inflicting apou you tbe high?
est punishment allowed by law. The!
sentence of tbo court is, tbat you be!
imprisoned at bard labor for ten years'
in the Albany Penitentiary." Horton,
the Cashier, who has been accused ofj
participating in tho fraud, is a fugitive;
from justice.

gross that tbe tariff duties secured fair
wages. Since tbat time poverty and,
destitution have brought them to u
closer acquaintance with tbe effects of
protectivo duties, and last week there
was a mass meeting of 500 of tbe silk
operatives at Paterson. They made
speeches, and finally by a unanimous
vote adopted a resolution praying Con?
gress to reduce tbe duties on silk yarns
from thirty-fivo to twenty per cent. To
understand tbis case it is necessary to
explain that tbo duty on all silk manu
fuotuers is sixty per cent., and on silk
yaru or thread thirty-five per cent.
Lador Difficulty in PrrrsBURa.?
Tbo Pittsburg Commercial, of tho 13th
instant, says: Wo find here eighteen idle
window glasB factories, employing when
in oporatiou 1,000 men. Now a small
minority of this 1,000 see fit, by the
operation of their trades union, to keep
tbo larger number iu absolute want.
When no tako into consideration tbe
fact that each of these workmen repre
scuts on an avorogo fivo persons, we
have a total of 5,000 hungry mouths as
tbo result. Upon investigation, we
filid tbo wages of all employeos ia this
branch of business here so greatly in ex?
cess of that paid for tho samo work iu
New Jersey, New York State and Balti?
more, tho other large glass centres, that
it is a matter of wonder that it hr?q bcou
possible to continue tho business here
at all.
