COngreaS.

The point of which the late C,ngression-
al debate MS to The mileage oil the Oregon
member, turned, was simply, whether Gen.
Lane should have $4,000 mileage or but
$4,000. Gen Lane being Locofoco and the
majority ditto, he was voted $4,000, all but
$4,000 OF which he will pocket as clean prof

INUNDATIoN AT BgNNiNGToN. Loss
OF LlrE.-On Wednesday afternoon
last, as we learn from the Bdnntr, n
destructive inundation occurred al North
bennington, which swept away large
amount Of property and tore the centre
of the village completely out. The en-
bankment OF the Western Vermont Rail-
road constituted dam across the stream
just above the village, aud thus pond
was formed covering from thirty to lhlr-
y-fve acres, TO the depth of from five
to twenty five feet. The large amount
of water thus shut back, had nearly all

feet in diameter, or through the fill.

avalanche Of water followed the course
of the river until it reached the heart
Of the village. where it spread across and
down the street, tearing buildings from
their foundations and hurlug them and
their contents into a vortex of surzing
water that tore them TO pieces with a
power and velocity truly terrific.
The woman, after being in the water
an hour was rescued mile below, and
the body of the child found tangled in
the fence, half a mile from the place
where the house started.
The amount Of private property de-

THE MAINE LAW IN NEw -YoRK The

We feel warranted in assuring our readers
that no "lhiriy gallon" indulgence, whether
for export or home consumption, will dis

consistent and thorough-in substance, the
Maine Law. We do not confidently an
ticipate its pass 'ge this session and would
advise the Rumsellers 10 be economical in
the outlay Of their 100000 fnnd. which
they will reed more next winter than now.
But when we do have a law it will mako

sured oil that! OF our present Legislature
we simply ask that they meet the question
fairly and give us a Yea and Nay vote in
each House on the passage Of the Maine
Law. II a majority say No, we will try TO
transform it into minority next year; if
rot then, the year after but woe to all

ANOTHER FuGITIyE SLAVE REMAND.
Ep.-A colored man passing under the
name of James II. Thomas, was arrested
in New York, some two weeks since,
and taken 10 the watch house, for beat
ing his wife. The wife was highly eyas-
peralcd, and told her husband that he
knew he was in her power, that he es-
capped from his master in Maryland some
years since. aud other similar express
sions. The wife, or as it finally proved
his mistress, did no, appear against him,
and he was discharged.
The officer with this and other inror-
nation subsequently obtained. wrote to
Jonathan Plnckney, in Annapolis, Md,
describing Thompson MIR. P. ordered
his arrest, and came on to New York
and identified Thomas as his slave James
Tasker, who escaped with TWO others
from him in 1874. Tasker seemed
pleased to see his master, admitted he
was his slave, aud expressed Willing
ness TO return. He was taken before
the Commissioner. the proper papers
made out, aid Wednesday evening he
was on his way back with his master to
Maryland.
