ALgASY, We'd tesday, Feb g.
In the SENATE, the fifth section of the Medical
Practice bill was adopted, after great deal OF
debate, and the whole bill ordered to third
reading. After & protracted debate upon lndl
vidual Liability, the Senate went into Executive
Session.
In the HOUSE, the strange proceedings relating
to the call of the House, secret session, "con-
tempt" "arraignment" &c. Sc, which seem to
have created considerable excitement, were ter
minated, and the ordinary routine OF business re-
sumed-the journalof the secret proceedings, s,whlct
was the great bone of contention, having been
at length approved. The quarrel appears to have
been between the SPEAKER and certain delinquent
members of the House, who had heen brought
before the bar Of the House by the Sergeant-at-
Arms and reprmanded by the Speaker. The
form, of this roprimanded, and whether 1t had been
strictly as it should be ON the part of the Speaker
were the matters in debate. The following ex
tract from the proceedings will explain the whole
affair:
Mr. ALyoRp then moved to amend the Journal so ss 10 ek

This was finally adopted, and things went on
smoothly again with the SPEAKER and his noisy
and unruly family. We see nothing, however.
in the regular proceedings of either the morning
or afternoon session worthy of being specially re-
ferred to.
The PEAcEMAKER.-Th following is a copy
of a Letter addressed to the Secretary OF the
Navy by Messrs Hogg & Delamater, and des-
patched to Washington last night 1t will be
found interesting:
pHGy!x FOUNDRY.
Newly DIRK. March 7th, 1874 )
To the Honorable the Secretary Of The Nary. ad interim;
SIR: We learn from the public journals that The
President has ordered Court of Inquiry to sit at
Washington, for the purpose of investigating the re-
cent explosion of the large gun OF the u 81 steamer
Princeton.
We have abstained hitherto from noticing the Sc
rous charges made against the manufacturers of
this gun, not desiring to pre-occupy the public
mind or TO fix upon any individual the responsible
ty of this terrific disaster.
But since we find that Court of Inquiry has
been instituted, and that we have not been called
upon for any explanation, we are compelled to state
that the gun far from being made of base materiuls
so confidently charged to be the sole cause of this
caanlitous eveni) was composed entirely Of Ameri-
can Charcoal Iron and the exploded part that from
the trunnion to the breech, made exclusively of
Clinton County Iron Ample proof of this fact may
be obtained from Messrs. Ward & Co. who forged
the gun. That these gentlemen did all that could
be done order TO give soundness to this, the great
est piece of Wrong hit Iron ever forged may also be
proved and that they succeeded to an unprecedent
ed degree was universally acknowledged by all who
examined the gun previously 10 the explosion
In opposition to the opinions given by individuals
who have inspected certain fractured parts of the
ploded gun, and by such unsatisfactory investiga-
lion pronounce the metal base we have now to state
that have collected borings and turnings from the
different parts of the gun, some of which taken from
the interior we have wrought into various forms all
proving inconestably that the material is tougher
and more malleable than ordinary wrought ron-a
fact hardly TO be expected when consider that the
central part of the gun was exposed TO an intense
heat Tor many days whilst the outside was in process
of completion.
We deem ii important also to advert to the fact
that, when piece of wrought iron is broken by any
sudden force, the fracture exhibits coarse grannla
ton resembling that OF cast iron, and we would eau
ton all against undertaking to pronounce opinions
from the appearance of The fracture OF the exploded
gun.
As to the alleged want of specific gravity in the
metal, we would state that the specific gravity of
wrought iron in such large pieces as the Stockton
guns Is not known; and that therefore the known
density of bar iron furnishes no criterion in the pre-
sent instance.
