TWEEN NTY-NINT CONGRESS.
FRIDAY, March 18th, 1876.
Senate not in session.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

A very impressive prayer was made this
morning by the Rev. Mr.. Miburne, and the
journal was read, after which
Mr.. Gordon rose TO personal explanation.
On the 10th inst, he made speech on the
Habror bill, in the course of which he had
made illusions 10 Oregon. In the New York
Herald he found a statement that was erro-
neous; but 1t was contradcted in the reports
OF the same paper, and set right He had not
spoken in favor of the 49th parallel, but for
54o4O. He read from the Baltimore Sun,
which said he had made desulatory speech,
and arraigned Polk and his Cabinet, Sc. He
then quoted the Columbian Fountains report,
as given in that paper of the 1lth instant, and
which stated that he had planted himself firm
ly on 54o40-that he expressed no opinion as
to the course the administration was going 10
take but, if they compromised on any thing
short of 54o40, he should arraign them before
the bar of public opinion. This report was
right, as far as it went. "
AT his mention of the :" Columbian Foun-
tain," many sneering expressions were given
vent to about the House; which meets now at
cleve,, O'Clock, be it observed-that witching
hour OF the morning and some bitterness was
TO be expected against total abstinence paper
oo ohoihy ol,ci .ne HOuI VI UccluS-
A voice. What is your own opinion.
Mr.. Gordon. "Wait till get through"
He then referred to the Union report, and read
part OF 1t. He then said his opinions were
given on the Oregon question in his public
speech, In that debate. In that speech he had
urged the entire validity OF the Spanish title TO
Oregon, and had gone for the whole. The
forty-ninth parallel left the greater part of Van
couver's Island 10 Great Britain, of which he
would never cede one inch to England. Van
couver's Island occupied the same position,
with regard to the northwest coast, as the Is
land of Great Britain did to the continent of
Europe. Mr.. G. trusted that this explanation
would set him right.
"A member moved that all the newspapers
alluded to, be referred to select committee,
with power to send for papers and persons;
but, as this was evidently meant as burlesque
on the Senate proceedings in the case of the
Daily Times, no attention was paid to it by the
Speaker.

Correspondence of the Columbian Fountain.
ALExArpRr.. March l2. 1876.

& 81 I'ldiSh X, iOfos
II Mr.. EDITOR: The Male Free School, of
which ! promised 10 give you some account
in my letter of yesterday, was originally sup
ported by funds derived from the estate Of
Gen. Washington, provision having been
made in his will for the establishment of such
an institution. 1t is now under the control of
our Corporation, who appoint annually a
Board Of Trustees, TO whom its interests are
committed. The number of scholars, be-
lieve, exceed 100; and, under the judicious
management of its talented and popular prin-
cipal, Capt. Samuel X. Shay, it bids fair to
rival any institution of similar character in
this section Of country. The schoolhouse,
which is very large and commodious, is stu
ated on Washington street, few doors from
Wolfe, and was built in 1912, since which
time the school has been in constant operation.
The fine weather we have enjoyed for sew
eral days past has created quite. an improve
ment in business, and should il continue a
week or two longer, we will be in the height
of preparation for the spring fishery. L.

- 1t has been ascertained beyond doubt that
Mr.. John George, the murderer of Miss Jack
SON, took passage at Bowling Green on the
Governor Breatheu for Louisville, on Tuesday
evening. BY vigilance the police may catch
him. He is young man of middle height,

"LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION"
How appropriate is the above short but
beautiful and impressive prayer to the situa-
ton and condition of the reformed inebriate.
He is peculiarly liable to temptation, and is
frequently an object Of ridicule to those who
have not strength of mind sufficient to abstain
from their cups, and is sometimes the object of
design. 95 goas,s al a5a a
There have been men so base, SO regardless
of the prophecies and decencies of life-so ut
terly destitute Of honor and honorable feeling,
as to lie in wait for opportunities TO t;rutrate
the good resolves Of those who are endeavor-
ing to throw off the yoke of Intemperance, and
who are struggling to attain and maintain
respectable position among their fellow men.
Their arts have too frequently been successful,
and the poor struggler has been cast back into
the mire from which he had just emerged, to
find it more difficult still to break the chains
with which the--tyrant Intemperance had dou-
bly, bound him. Depending on his o,Dn strength,
he has fallen victim to the ssroaring lion, who
goeth about seeking whom he may devour."
Perhaps, had he uttered the simple, yet touch
ing sentence, .'''Lead me not into temptation
but deliver me from evil,' in the presence of
the tempter- the desire TO partake OF the in
soxicating draught might have been removed
from him, and he have remained pure and un-
de6led by the Communicating touch or taste of
the seuLhardening draught. Let those who
are striving to conquer this dangerous propen-
sity bear this in mind, and when tempted to
beray their honor, let them remember the.
words ~Deliver me from evil" and in their
daily walks, 'Lead me not into tempatation.''
