Perhaps II may be replied to all this
that congress will establish district or
admiralty court here. To this SUPPOSE
ton answer we have no right to expect
it; Congress did not do it before ex-
elusive legislature was assumed over this
this District. We can have no reasonab e
hope, that Congress will on our account,
either increase the number of judges OF
the u. States, or alter the general judi.
cial system of the United States, and
thereby add to the public expence, for
our special accommodation. The most
that we could expect would be to have a
district Court established at Washington,
which would be carrying the money ex>
pended by our citizens. in these kind OF
law suits not only out Of Alexandria, but
out of tho state OF Virginia. Congress have
established already in Va. three district
courts one Is held west OF the Blue Ridge,
and one in Richmond. for the north east
part of the state, and one in Norfolk, tor
the south east section OF the state; this ar
rangemenl has given the state OF Virginia
one more district court than exists In any
other OF the United States. 1t is not
therefore, reasonable to expect fourth
district court will be established IN Vir-
ginia.

a Wonderful and Providential Escape,
A few days since, number OF young
PERSONS of both sexes, were amusing
themselves by skating and sliding on the
River Delaware between Burlington and
Bristol; one of the young Ladies, about IA
or Is years of age, slid into large air
bole-the alarm was Immediately given.
when two young men, MIR. M'llvane. OF
Chester County, Pennsylvania, and Mr..
Thomas Eayre, son of Mr.. Asa Eayre, of
Eayrestown, in this county, repaired to
the spot, where they saw her sink the
third time. One OF them threw himself
upon the ice and attempted to lay hold OF
her. but was not able to reach her.
Mr., Eayre at the same time holding by
Mr.. M'llvaine's surtout. The young wo-
man arose again under the ice below
where she had fallen in, and on Mr., Eayres
discovering her white glove, he requested
hl. companion 10 break the ice with his
skait, did so and caught her, when, by
the assistance of persons present, they
were all three drawn back, the young
woman to all appearance lifeless. Mr..
Eayre recollecting that he had often heard
bis father relate the manner he had him

from drowning, immediately proposed the

feet against some person, to press and

urgent entreaty, was held up against him
and he pessed and shock her in the man.

Washington, Jan. S.

~ 1870 -
The House of Representatives has
been Tor the last two days occupied with
a discussion which, at late period OF
the session, would not have seen suffer
ed to occupy so much of its attention.
namely, the granting partial appropria-
tons for the service OF the War De-
pastment for the current year, but par
ticularly for that branch of 1t which has
relation to Indian Affairs. The objec-
ton to this appropriation is, that it's OBJ
ects are not sufficiently defined. A
part Of the difficulty, however, appears
to arise from the omission to draw the
distinction between the expenses of the
system of Indian trade, and those ex-
penses which are Incidental to our semi
diplomatic intercourse with the Indian
tribes, the extent of which cannot SO
we'll be anticipated as to be fixed by law,
but must vary with the circumstances
of our relations with those tribes.
A little variation of the Phraseology OF
the bill, to which there used 20 have been
no objection, we believe, would have OBJ
waited every difficulty which has been OPP
posed 10 ST. The discussion, however can
Go nc harm. An honest administration
Can have nothing to apprehend from the
closest scrutiny OF its conduct, which will
be more approved the more it is inyeStiga-
