Another CONGRESSIONAL F1GHT.-On Mon
day the 18th inst, political dispute occurred
in an omnibus In Washington, between Mr..
Granger of New York, aged about sixty-five
years, and Mr.. McMulin of Virginia. McMul-
lin said the South would not submit to the e.
lection of Fremont-Granger replied, ssafter
November, it will be made to submit'' A
few words more passed between them, when
McMullin clinched Granger, and struck him
in the eye. The parties were then separated.
The House has appointed Committee to ex-
anime into the matter, and report at the next
session of Congress.
Gov. BIGLER is known to be the fast friend
Of Mr.. Buchanan, and it therefore caused no
little surprise when he moved a resolution in
the Senate the other day to overhaul the pub
lie accounts of Col. Fremont. The object was
too apparent to admit of doubt. 1t was to
create an impression in the public mind unfa-
Vorabie to Col. Fremont. Mr.. Hale caused
great laughter in the Senate by saying he was
glad Mr.. Bigler had offered his resolution for
it was rather tame work, said he, to make
speeches for a candidate against whom no
charges could be made. The only thing he
had heard against Fremont before was that he
had ate dog-meat. The reply to that was that
the people intended to give him something bet
ter to eat. They would chase Buck down for
him in autumn. Gov. Bigler became very id-
getty under the stream of ridicule poured up
on the movement, and the Senate out of mere
pity of him passed the resolution.
LATER FROM CALIFoRS1A.-The Ariel arri-
we'd on the 18th, with two weeks later news
from California, and bringing 81 ,473,876 in
treasure on freight. The Vigilance Commit
tee was still in session at San Francisco, and
the trial of Judge Terry had not been brought
to close. The general impression seemed to
be that he would be banished from the State,
or, at least, would not be permitted to reas-
sumo his Judicial functions. California has
again suffered from terrible conflagrations.-
Nearly two hundred buildings were destroyed
at Placervile at an estimated loss of 81 ,0O0,-
900. At Georgetown 100000, and at Marys-
willie 100000 worth of property have been
burnt, and just before the steamer left, the
town of Nevada was totally destroyed, the
loss amounting to three millions. Advices
from Oregon state that the war in the south
ern portion of the Territory has been brought
to a close.
PHILADELPHIA-No less than five Fremont
meetings took place in Philadelphia on Tues
day evening of last week. The meeting in
the Seventh ward was immense, and was ad
dressed by Vim. Bull, Chas. Gilpin, and by
Chas Gibbons. The enthusiasm was intense.
The meeting in the Sixth ward was held in
spacious Hall on Fourth street, above George,
aud at an early hour, the Hall, and all the pas
sages to it were crowded to suffocation. Rob
