Yt. , January 21.?Tho citi? zens of Beunington were startled at 2 30 o'clock, this afternoon, by u terrific ex? plosion, which was heard for twenty miles away. It proved to bo the explo? sion of the gas works ou the premises of H: E. Bradford & Co.'s knittiug mills. Tho gas, it seems, had leaked from the pipes until the air was filled, so that it took fire from the boiler communicating with the gas holder. The mill is a one story brick building. Tho explosion lifted the roof and burst out the walls of tho building, so that the roof fell back, crushing many employees. The fire spread instantaneously all over the building, and it was consumed before the fire could be got under control. It was a fearful scene. Mauy womeu were inside the building screaming terribly, and it was not in the power of auy oue to help them. Ten are known to be killed. The remains of some of the un? fortunate victims were reduced to n mere handful of charred bones, and nothing was left to indicate who they were, except the position in which they wore found.

Washington, January 21.?Waito was unanimously confirmed as Chief Jus? tice. Potitions for womuu suffrage nro now referred to the Committee on Privileges and Eleotions. Merrimau, of North Carolina, ad? dressed tho Senate to day. Ho said our oouutry enjoyed the confidence of its people more than nuy couutry ou the face of the earth, yet our currency had been lets valued than gold by tweuty per cent. He urged that it was impos? sible to muke a paper currency equal to gold. It was idle und criminal for Con? gress to undertake- to bring greenbacks up to the standard of gold. Wo must put ourselves on a level with tbo com? mercial nations of the earth; and to do this, we must have a gold and silver currency, Uutil wo establish a medium cf exchange based upon gold and silver, we can never have tbo advantages of commerce Ho advocated au immediale resumption of specie payment. The people of tho United States had lost twenty por cent, in all thoir ex? changes from tbo time the greenback eystom began iu 18(31, till now. If the greeubrek pystcm continues, de? preciation will coutiuue; and it is the duty of Congress to rid the country of this. He wus surprised that not a single definite plun by which we could get back to specie payment had been pro? posed. The 4th of July, 1876, would bo the centennial of our independence, and ho trusted that glorious events would transpire on that duy. Let one of them be a return to speoie payment. Let the gold accumulate in tbo treasury over and above the amount necessary to pay interest on the public debt. If tbut would not be sufiioiont, put a five per cent, bond on the market, which would bring gold at par, aud on tbo 1th day of July, 1870, lot every dollar of green? backs bo redeemed in coin. Iu the meantime, let tbo volume of currency bo increased. He computed our present circulation at -3700,000,000, which was not cnongb, by at loast ?100,000,000. Tbo panio was not over anywhoro in the country. New York and Now England were credit States, aud had debts duo them from all sections of tbo country. Mouey could bo obtained in Now York; there was plouty of it there; but to obtain it collateral security equal to the money itself must be put up. He spoke of tho unequal distribnliou'of the currency, and the pressing needs of tbo South ou uccount thereof. Sberman said tbe Controller of the Oarrenoy had authority now to with? draw ?25,1)00,000 from New England and give it to the Sonth and West, or States which hove nut their proper pro portion. Edmuuds?How long would it stay there? Sherman?That is another question. Merriman said, in reply to tho Sena? tor from Vermont, (Edmund?,) that if the money was down there, it would go bnck very slowly, if the bauks of New York and New England did not oiler interest for it. As these States pay interest, the money goes there. He deemed that the currency was re dundunt ai compared with the circula? tion of Franco and England. Those countries were densely populated, aud the exchange was small. Auother hun? dred million dollars put iu circulation would revive the business of the couu try. Our greenback system, which might be termed bloated, had many debts contracted under it. Tbo argu? ments were, that these debts should be liquidated iu greenbacks. Now it is proposed to contract the cur? rency, which would compel their pay? ment iu a more precious medium thuu the one under which they wero created. He would postpone tho time for specie resumption till July -4, 187G, ou account of the business of tho country being based on this bloated correucy; but by putting it off till that time, tho people, seeiug a monetary system devised by Congress, would regulate busiuess to that end, so that it would adjust itself to tho now system of currency. He was opposed to the uatiouul baukiug system, and thought it a vast monopoly, founded wholly upon credit, aud essen? tially a credit currency, and, therefore, twenty per cent, less valuable than gold. In the next pluoo, every dollar of the capital stock was iu the United States treasury, aud the bauks receive live per cent, from the Government on bonds deposited in the treasury. Ho next spuke of the rates of iuterest, and said he put it to the Senate?he put it to the world?to answer, if industry could pros per und pay such percentage for money, lie maintained that tho volume of cur? rency could not bo fixed by law; it could not bo controlled by politicians aud statesmen; und Congross should uot, therefore, undertake to regulate it. The merchants and business men of the nation would fix it. The bauks should belong to the peoplo, and not to the Government. He would like to see Congress grant a charter for a great na? tional bank. Lot the shares be at $25 each, so the whole peoplo could have stock in it. Let the capital stock bo 8100,000,000, and the directors be in every State. Iu time of war, suoh a bank would come to tbe relief of tho Government, und be of essential benefit. Sectional interests had once come near destroying tho Government, and unless Congress docs something to produce an equilibrium iu industries, more trou? ble would bo the result. Edmunds inquired if the geutlcman believed Congress could produce this equilibrium. Could it say how many factories there should be, where located, &c? Merriman said Congress could im? prove the harbors und rivers of tho West, open up the natural advantages, encouruge nhip building, und thousands of other things could be douo to pro dueo such equilibrium; but not while wo go on with this sectional legislation? California with one iuterest, New Eng? land with another, and the South with another. When they como iu cuutact, it will result in the clash of arms. They did it once, und would do it uguin. Edmuuds said ho did not rise for tho purpose of continuing this debut*', but he thought the natural tendency ol mo? ney was to tho pockets of those having the right to it. Ho know of no contriv? ance by which Cougress could keep money in any station, unless the circum? stances of tho peoplo in such ucotiou should entitle them to keep the money. Every citizen has the right to put his money where ho thinks he can make the most out of it. Congress, nor any other power, could interfere with this right of tho people. Money is always flowing where it has the. right to rest. Gr?nling that 850,000,01)0 moro bo giveu to the Sonth and West, it would go to tho pockets of those eu titled to it. lie did not believe there was a dollar moro iu Vermont now than there would be if every bank in tho Statu was re? moved to Louisiana. Every man enti? tled to money would liavo it in his pocket, and no contrivance or legisla? tion could forco money to remain iu the West or South, until, by industry and ocouoaiy, tho peoplo would entitle them? selves to become tho owners of it. New England could not koep monoy which she owed to tho West. She mutt send it where it belongs; aud tho samo if sho owed tho South. If tho South owes New England, tho monoy must come there. To provide, therefore, by law, any policy which would compel tho cir? culating medium to remain in onu sec? tion rather than another, was an impossi? bility. Merriman said tho Senator from Ver? mont (Edmund-) went upon the princi? ple that the commercial interests of tho country were in a normal condition. There wero circumstances which have foroed tho monoy from the West and South. The South produced $330,000, 000 worth of cotton annually, und the money to nay for it should bu nt tho South. What, iu tho natural course of things, took it away? Thero was some? thing wrong Homewhore; eoino false basis. If tho people of the South had tho capital, they would build up cities aud towus, construct railroads, open mines, and Wall street, instead of being iu New York, would bo in Charleston, Savannah or Now Orleans. Our indus? trial nffairs aro not iu their normal state. Elmuuds said the Senator spoke of the people of tho South having c.tpacily to develop resources, if they had the capital. How were they to get that capital? Merrimau?We wish your people to oomo there. Edmonds?Well, Mr. President, "to that I say amen. Bat how are they to go there? Will they fiud equal justice in the courts? Will they find honest labor respected? If tho South desires capital, she must show calm and de? liberate justice for all admiuistered iu every State, so that life aud property will be as Bafe as in New England. Then tho capital of New England will go there, and tire resources of the country will bo developed; but not until then will tho people invest their haid earnings under uncertainties. Let the South do nil ehe can to promote equal justice; have peace aud order every? where; then Northern capital would go there. Merrimau Raid ha hope d they would cease to bear that a man's lifo was not safe iu the South. The war is over, and those statements should be of the past. Ho would assure tho gentlemuu that anybody from New England or Califor? nia was j .tat as safe iu his Slate, (North Carolina,) or anywhere iu the South, as if ho were in Vermont or anywhere in New Euglaud. Tako tho statistics of crime, aud tho "ratio of crime aud out? rage were in favor of the South two to one. Edmunds said he had been told, ou good authority, that a man who went to tho city of Nowberu, iu tbo geutlemau's owu State, fiDd established business, wus eutiruly iguored. Ho had comnfitted no crime, yet no one noticed him; aud the only reitsou for such treatment was that ho was u Yankee. New England men had been taught to believe iu the honesty of labor. He did not make this statement as a reproach to North Caro? lina, pr to his friend from that State; but he would sty that, until it became respectable for a mau from New Eug? laud to engage in commercial pursuits in North Carolina, just so long would the South wither aud cry for more money, which she cannot get. Merrimau said, in tho ca.se in New? born referred to by the gentleman, thero wore some circumstances connected with the nun which deprived him ol that so? ciety he Fought to enter. A few days ago, tho Treasurer of the United States stopped at Charlotte. A gruud roea-p tion was tendered him, uud so well was ho pleased, that he rcmuiued thero seve? ral days. Tho statements whispered iu tho ears of his honored frieud (E I munds) were not true. llespcctuble people were welcome iu tho South, uo matter whore from. With a mau seek? ing, society in the South, it was just the sama seeking it in New Euglaud. If he was worthy, he could go iuto society. Elmuuds said ho was glad to know theie statements iu regard to ill-treat? ment of people in tho South were uot true now; but, until recently, they were true. As a rule, uo officer of the United St des army sent to any port or statiou was received iuto society. Ho (Ed? munds) had visited the South, aud hud beeu told that thu ouly people who asso? ciated with army officers wero those, termed scalawags by*those of their own section. Morrimau?Will my friend allow me to state that I kuow that is not true in my own State? Edmunds said ho was glad to hear that times had ohauged since be wob in the South iu 1367. He had received his information from army oflieers, aud he hail high respect for them, as they had beeu taught to tell the truth as well as to work it out sometimes, with their owu good swords E Imunds, then, ut 3.15, moved that the Seu ito proceed to the consideration of executive business, which motion prevailed. The House wus engaged to day ou the centennial celebration. Pinchback did uot sueoeod iu getting au interview with tho President, who wus talking witb Oreswell. Qov. Warmoth asserts that Carpenter and Butler havo agreed ou a new elec? tion bill, which will bo introduced m both Houses ou Monday; and that alter a caucus of the Democrats in the House, he did not tiud uiiu who would uot vote for the bill, and feels conlideut that it will puss to thu House next week. Pinchback believes that treachery is tho oiuso of his defeat, and is hard at work for a new election. Capt.

Paris has rarely witnessed a sight so striking in all its features as the recent funeral ol Victor lingo's c-hlost son. Besides being a Writer of rare skill ami power, Francois Victor Hugo was as liery u R publican as his father. For twen'y year.-', he made himself au exile i from France, and when he came back to Paris, he preached Republicanism by peu and tongue with much enthusiasm. On the day of the funeral, au extraor? dinary mass of people crowded the Boulevard des Italien), the great square of the Chaleun d'Eti, the Boulevard tie Prince Eugene, the Place Voltaire, the Rue do la R iquette, and tho rest of tho historic route which leads from tho poet's house to tho burying ground of Pere-la-Ch iit-o. Thousands of workmen followed Iho oollin, each carrying a little bunch of red immortelles at his button-hole to denote the shade of his political creed and his mourning fur the dead. Most ol the Republican Deputies also went with tho procession, and every eye was fixed ou Victor Hugo hiinsell as tho old man walked behind tho body of bis son, with his massive head beul iu giief, und his gray hair uncovered. So vast was the crowd by the time tho coffin reached Pete la Chaise that ii tilled a large part of that great ceme? tery. M. Louis Blanc had been chosen to deliver the oration over (hu gravi*, and, nt tho wish of the poet himself, the eloquent Republican made a proclu uiation of tho religious faith iu whicll tho son had died. Like his lather, In believed in a Maker of the universe aud iu a life to come. After tho Republican f dth had been declared, tho vaat crowd quietly singed batrk to Paris. Thou was no disorder, or eveji the slightest attempt to create disturbance. -*??'? A scries of tableaux are being given in Darlingtou for the bo tie tit of the Mouil mental Society.
