FIRE DISTRICT NO. 1.

The Annual meeting oft the District Monday
evening was well attended. The results are
given in the official report subjOined.
The former Prudential Committee, Messrs
Ward, Noyes and Pattee, who have faithful
ly and capably served the District, declined
a reelection, and their places are supplied
by Messrs. n. Parker, E. G. Loomis and H.
Rolfe-an excellent selection. \
The only contest was upon Chief Engineer.
Mr.. Huntington declined a reelection, but
was reelected by decisive majority. We
confess that we were surprised to find any
serious opposition to Mr.. Huntington, and
that we are still unable to understand the
grounds of it. That he has sustained the
trying duties of his post with uncommon
fidelity, promptness and Judgment, we sup
posed was conceded by all that the District
is able still to secure his ces,-rendered

FROM WASHINGTON.

For two or three days there have been ru-

THE ADMISSION OF KANSAS.

There was a report current at Washington, on
Monday, that the president will send message
to Congress opposing the admission Of Kansas into
the Union. on the ground that the requirements of
the English bill are that census shall be taken
to ascertain what Is the population Of that terrific
~ and that none having been taken, the law has
not been complied with, and there Is no legal
knowledge that Kansas has the required popula-
ton of ninety three thousand Mr.. PARROT, the
delegate from that territory arrived at Washing
ton Sunday, and says that the population is
not less than one hundred thousand. The prevail
ing opinion is that there viii be no organization
Of auv Of the territories during this session, and
that if the homestead and Kansas admission bills
pass the House, they will not pass the Senate
In retaliation for this, there will be a general
slaughter in the House of all Cuba and other ad-
ministraton schemes that originate in the Senate.
The two bodies will be in direct conflict on all po-
htleal measures, and an indiserimjuate onslaught
will be likely to occur in both branches-CoT.
Men York Herald
We have never supposed for moment that
Kansas would be admitted at this session of
Congress. The silence Of Mr.. Buchanan on
the subject in his message we took as proof
that his influence would be against it. The
next Presidential election may have to be de-
cided in the House of representatives. Kan
sas viii come in as a free State if she comes
into the Union at all. Not a vote viii be
allowed from her therefore if the proslavery
democrats Of the Senate can help it and Mr..
Buchanan will give them all the help in his
power.

BILL.

Nj Grow OF Pa. has been persistently
charged in the democratic prints with having
defeated the P5st5fice appropriation Bill Of
/ last session, and with thus having brought
upon the contractors and the department. all
the embarrassment which the want Of the
appropriation has caused them. Tae charge
is an utterly dishonest one, a. brief state
ment Of the case viii show The House
7a,sed Postotiice Appropriation bill to meet
all the proper wants Of the department., and
sent it ap to t1e Senate At late day the
Senate returned the bill with divers amend
menta-oa especially proposed and urged
by Iulae Of Florida, if we remember aright)
increasing The rates Of postage largely, for the
purpose OF getting mare rersnue from that
source. Hr. Grow raised the question at
once tliat the Senate amendment referred to
was In direct CONFIRMATION Of the provision
IF the C1n~titut0n-tha rcUcaue hills must
ariginat, 10 the House and therefore an in
iringenent Oh the Constitntional privileges
OF the House. Repeated efforts We're
made by administration members to preuent
a vote from being taken on MIR. Crows
question, bat without success. Mr. Grow 5
position was sustained by a large majority,
many OF the wdrmast friends Of the admins
tratIon voting for it. Bat the Senate would
not recede, alleging that it was in their pow
or to decide what their own privilege were.
Committee Of Conference was the result
HAT committee avoided the question of
vlieg2-con>idering that there was no
time to discuss it at that late hour Of the sas-
SION, and said they would relieve both bodies
from the necessity OF yielding, by reporting
as new bill the original House bill-which
OF course did "a contain the Objectionable
amendment. The passage of that bill would
give the Post Office department all that was
needed FOR the years business. The House
accepted the report Of tn Committee Of
Conference, and passed the Bill. under a sus-
pension of their rules. In the Senate. Mr.
Toombs parp Dsely defeated it, by Directing.
His objection was fatal, for the session was
inits last hour. Mr. Toombs has never hes
itated to say that the defeat Of the bill was
his doing. Even the other dav. when in
the House, it was charged by one that Mr..
Grow defeated the Post Office approximation
bill. Mr. Toom5s, in the lobby, said to Re-
! publican members near him, that there was
not word of truth in the charge against
Mr. Grow, for ne defeated the bill himself.
