THE PRESIDENCY IN THE HOUSE.

The question is sometimes asked, whether
or not in the event of the election OF Presi-
dent going to the House, thirteen States
would cast their votes for Mr. Van Buren,
AS things stand at present, Mr. Van Buren,
cannot receive the votes of thirteen States,
as will appear from the following table OF the
political character of the members:
In Maine ina jority of the members of the
House are in favor of Mr. Van Buren,; the
same is the case in New Hampshire, Con-
necticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Georgia, Illinois
and Indiana-Il.
In Massachusetts the majority of the mem
bers of the House are Anti-Van Bureu; the
same is the case in Vermont Delaware, Mary
land, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alaba-
ma, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, and D.
hiO-1l
In Mississippi there is one Van Buren, and
one Anti-Van Buren, member. Mr. Clalrborne,
the Van Burenite, pledged binself, in his ad-
dress to the people of the State before the C.
lection, to give his vote in the House OF kep-
esentatives to the Presidential candidate who
should receive the electoral vote. The vote
of Mississippi will 90 against Mr. Van Buren,
Missouri has also one Van Buren and one
Anti-Van Buren, member both pledged to 60
according to the popular vote.
Pennsylvania we have set down to Mr. Van
Buren; but the probability is that the majorl-
ty of members from tina, State will follow the
course indicated by the popular will in the
vote for the Electoral ticket. The members
from Indiana and Illinois will probably be In
tluenced by the same considerations; and the
people of those States, in the electoral vote
will be found, we presume, on the same side
with their brethren Of the other Western and
Southwestern States. Under these consld'
erations, j; is obviously out of the question
that Mr. Van Buren, should be elected if the
decision of the question, as appearances no"
indicate, should devolve on the members o
the House. Boston Alias.

MEETING ATTuE CITYuALL,

A great meeting of the merchants and
citizens Of New York, was held on Sat-
urday, at the Supreme Court Room, in
the City Hall, to devise means for the
amelioration Of the mercantile communi-
ty Of that metropolis, and the sufferers
generally, by the late conhagration, at
which his honor the Mayor presided. 3D..
The principal speakers were James G
King, Dudley Selden, James Monroe s.
James B. Murray.-Resolutions were
adopted unanimously calling upon the
citizens for n vigorous exertion TO repair
the loss, while they deeply sympathise
with the numerous suilerers--recom-
mending The utmost forbearance and len
ity in the moneyed instituions-and ap-
pointing a committee of the Mayor and
one hundred and twenty five citizens to
ascertain the extent and probable value
of the property destroyed, and how far
the sufferers are protected by insurance,
TO make application 10 Congress Tor re-
mission Of duties Sc. and to ask such
other aid from the general, state, and
city governments as may be deemed ex-
I pedient. Resolutions were also passed
to ascertain the cause and origin Of the
fire, and what change may be necessary
| in the erection of buildings and to pre-
vent the recurrence Of like calamity
to ascertain and relieve the urgent ne
cessities of all those reduced to want
and returning thanks to the citizens Of
Philadelphia, Brooklyn and Newark
and especially their firemen, for thei'
prompt and generous assistance. The
members of the two boards Of Common
! Council are ex-officio members of the
committee.

PRomPT MISUNDERSTANDING the fire
Gen. Smith waited on merchant, (who felt
so secure that he made no removal of his
goods and addressed him thus: "Mr. p. | am
directed by His Honor, the Mayor, to request
the key of your store, which am going to
blow up" The merchant without the slight
est hesitation placed it in his hands with this
repIy:-"There it is, Sir;"-and in less than
fifteen minutes his store and property worth
perhaps fifty thousand dollars were in ruins.
An act of submission to the civil authorities
worthy of all praise.

THE INDEMNIFIcATIoN The Philadelphia
Gazette contains the following copy of let
ter from Messrs Rothschild 8; Co. Bankers of
the American Government at Paris, to their
correspondent in Philadelphia, dated
PARIS, 23d Oct. 1885.
Public attention is very much taken up now
by note which it is said the American
Charge d'Affaircs here has to deliver to Gov
ernment, asking for the immediate payment
of what is due on the treaty OF indemnity,
without taking any notice OF the condition
which the Chambers have thought proper to
add in granting the money, and which, un-
fortunately, the Minister is by no means at
liberty to forego. We cannot conceive that
even the most punctillous assembly could
consider it against their national dignity. or
that any of the parties concerned, to quah'y,
by few words, language which has been
susceptible of an unpleasant interpret 'tion,
and merely TO express that it was not meant
as injurious to the honor OF friendly nation.
Every one is persuaded that the intention OF
your honorable President never was to hurt
the feelings of France. II seems to us i'm
possible that such sound policy as that by
which your Governments is guided, will per-
init such immense interests to be conpro-
missed and put in jeopardy by a mere matter
of form, when ono party is quite ready and
willing to pay, and will be satisfied with the
simplest admission Of its having acted honor
ably; and the great majority of people con-
nccied with trade in both countries, will no
doubt do all in their power To prevent the tics
which unite them being broken by quarrcls
from which none have any good 10 expect
we are therefore still confident Of peaceful
arrangement, and hoping TO learn that you
concur in that opinion, We remain yours, &c.

The election of United States Senator will
be one of interest throughout the whole Un-
ion. 1t is Of course uncertain who will be
selected. That there is a majority opposed
to Mr. Walker, we believe there can be no
question-we strongly suspect he has himself
resigned all hope.
As to the other candidates, we are not pre-
pared to speak. That there will, however,
be elected friend of Judge White, is as GER
tain as Mr. Walkers defeat-one, Of course,
being dependent upon the other.
