GIRL BURNED TO DEATH "A most lamentsble
event occurred at Riverton, N. J on Sunday,
which resulted in the death of girl of Is years Of
age. The victim. Mary Ann Strain, was employed
rs domestic in the place named. About o'clock
in the afternoon, while putting some coal upon
range. her dress caught fire, and in moment all
was in flames. She ran out of the house. and two
ladies hearing her cries, went to her relief With
some difficulty they got hold of the terrified girl,
and threw her upon the ground while one of
them endeavored to smother the flames, but the
sufferer broke from her, and it was not until
third attempt had been made that they succeeded.
BY this time the clothing of the girl was entirely
burned OFF, and her body, with the exception Of
her feet and the extreme top Of her head was
burned In horrible manner. Medical assistance
was at once obtained. and everything that human
ity could suggest was done to relieve the sufferer
but all in vain for after lingering until two o'clock
yesterday morning, death put an end to her suffer
ings. The deceased had accidentally set fire to
her clothing once before yesterday. but that
casion the flames were smothered by one of the
ladies in the family. The parents of the deceased
reside in the vicinity of Seventeenth and Christian
Streets in this city.-PAila. Ing.

MR.. SUMNER.

Mr.. Sumner is improving As fast as could be
reasonably expected, after the very severe con-
cussion his brain must have suffered. The
wounds Of the scalp are healing, but his ner-
vous system has not yet recovered its usual
tone, and it would be sheer folly for him to
thiuk Of taking his seat in the Senate, or re-
Stunning accustomed lsbors, in his present con-
dition. The wonder to us is, that under such
blows as were dealt with all the might of
powerful arm, his cerebral organization should
have escaped without radical injury. Much
time and care will be required for the restora-
ton Of his wonted health. We need hardly say
TO his friends that he bears this affection with
the quiet dignity and cheerful patience of a
man, who can see no humiliation in being made
the victim of unexpected violence, and is inca
Pable OF STOPPING 10 the indulgence of the low
passion of revenge.
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1856-06-12

"a. That, therefore, the public good demands
its entire abolition.
IS. That this abolition, to be permanent,
must be by law.
&c. That we deem it the least the National
Republican party can consistently demand, to
require that Congress, by law, guaranty free
dom to the Territories.
at. That we respectfully suggest to the Ma
tonal Convention that the present crisis calls tor
an Executive and Cabinet scarcely inferior
to the statesmen of '76 and 80; and that we
earnestly hope said Convention will select as
Presidential candidates thorough statesmen
and tried friends of Freedom.
80. That we deeply sympathize with the
people of Kansas in the oppression they now
endure, and pledge them help in every lawful
way.
80. That we consider the only speedy and
sure remedy to be the immediate admission of
the Free State of Kansas with its present free
Constitution"

CONGRESS.

Congress has been adiourning from time TO
time, without transacting any business since
last Thursday week. Last Monday, in the
Senate, upon motion of Mr.. Adams, the bill to
amend the naturalization laws was made the
special order for next Saturday. Mr. Butler
having intimated his intention TO leave the city,
and desiring to address the Senate upon the
Kansas question, it was made the special order
for next Thursday. A cursory debate of two
hours then ensued between Messrs. Douglas
and Trumbull, nominaly upon the question of
referring to the Committee on Territories the
bill OF the latter gentleman to annex for the
present the Territory of Kansas to that of Ne
braska. This, Mr.. Trumbull believed, would
have the effect to terminate the strife. and calm
the agitation now prevailing in Kansas. Mr..
Douglas opposed this idea, because the result
would be only to extend the field of contention
and resistance to constituted authorities. lie
argued that the simple remedy for the disorders
and outrages which all must deplore, was. for
every citizen to obey the law while it remains
upon the statute book, and, if he does not like
the law, to avail himself of legal methods to
repeal it. The end could not be accomplished
by violent means, which he condemned. no
matter by which party they were perpetrated.
Mr.. Trumbull rejoined, and the discussion con-
tinued, partly upon points of Democratic faith,
and congenial mysteries. The bill was referred
TO the Committee on Territories, and ordered
TO be printed.
"Mr. Foot requested leave to read an argu.
ment which he had prepared during the late
recess of the Senate, and accordingly read a
long and interesting paper, contendng against
the constitutional power Of the President of the
United States, as Commander-n-chiefo of the
army and navy, TO remove any commissioned
officer at his discretion, and without the inter
vention of either Congress or Courts Martial.
As many Senators are yet absent from the city.
the Senate was thin but the gentleman from,
Vermont was heard with much attention, and
from the ability and compactness of his reason.
ing, was entitled to the compliments he received
at its conclusion"
The House of Representatives had but a briet
session. Mr.. Edwards, of New York. on Sat
urday, had handed to the Clerk notice of his
intention to Introduce bill for the removal OF
the Seat of Government from the city of Wash
lngton TO place within five miles of the city OF
Cincinnati.

TUESDAY IN CONGRESS.

In the Senate, after the reading of the Jour
nal, MIR. Thompson, of Kentucky, called atten-
ton to the fact that, from the Journal. II wonld
appear as If Mr.. Stuart had been elected per.
manent President pro tempore; whereas he
understood the motion to be, that he be elected
TO fill the chair merely during the absence of
Mr.. Bright. He presumed the error was an in
advertent one.
Mr.. Butler said that there could be but one
President pro tempore at time, under the Con-
stitution; and his molten was that Mr. Stuart
should be- elected to that Office which was
agreed to.
Mr.. Seward concurred in the view that Mr..
Stuart would be entitled 10 retain the Office
after the return of Mr.. Bright.
The subject was then dropped.
Mr.. Crittenden submitted a resolution request
ing the President, in view of the existing diff
culties in Kansas, TO employ the services of Gen.
Scott, at the head of the military forces of the
Government. He spoke at some length in favor
of the proposition, paying high compliment
to Gen. Scott. and deeming it high time that
some adequate remedy should be devised to re-
store peace in Kansas.
Mr.. Mason was not prepared to vote for or
against the resolution, and he asked that it
might lie over until tomorrow
Mr.. Critsenden was still advocating the meas.
ure when our report closed.
In the House, after the reading of the Journal,
the question arose on the pending motion OF
Mr.. Jones, of Tennessee, to amend the Journal
of the day before yesterday, wherein that repre-
scented the bill of Mr.. Edwards for the removal
Of the Seat Of Government to have been receiv-
ed and referred, and put; no quorum voting, a
call of the House was ordered, and one hun
dred and twenty-one members having answered
to their names, further proceedings under il
were dispensed with.
The bill to amend the act to protect life on
mboats, also the bill to expedite the issu
ing of land warrants, which were special orders
for this day, were severally postponed until TO-
morrow.
Mr.. Burlingame presented resolutions from
the Legislature of Massachusetts,, upon the
Brooks and Sumner affair; laid on the table
aud ordered to be printed.
The question on the motion Of Mr.. Jones, oil
Tennessee, TO amend the Journal, above refer
red to, again came up, aud no quorum voted.

Our worst foes are in our own household. Sla-

they are accomplices in wickedness. North
ern men and Southern men voted together to
lay open Kansas to Slavery. Northern men
with Southern men fight the battles of Slavery
in Kansas against Northern men and Southern
men. Sharpe's rifles cannot remedy this state
of things. Dissolution of the Union is imprac
ticable. The Free States must break down
Slavery Propagandists among themselves, be-
fore their Anti-Slavery voters have power to
dissolve the Union, and then, they will have no
motive to dissolve it. Let them conquer Free.
