they were immured, but when the fire began to

The BEAR GARDKS-For the first hour Of to-
days session of the House. the hall was more of a
bear garden than on any previous occasion from
which fact the distant public will comprehend
that mob law seemed to prevail there nd Hbituni
Mr.. Washburn Of Me, essayed to prevent Mr.
CloPton Of Ala. from speaking after the Clerk had
decided Mr.. C. to be entitled to the floor. Mr.
VS. point was that all speeches were out of order
pending the call for the previous question on the
resolution Of Mr.. Hutchins to elect by plurality
rule.
Mr.. Wa'hburn was backed by side bar assist
ance from dozen other Republican members,
and whenever Mr.. Clopton attempted to COM
mence, he was interrupted by some of them, on
one pTetence or another. This so netted some of
the Democrats as that they, too, ''pitched in,'
strenuously calling on the Clerk to enforce his
decision against the interrupters.
On the whole, the disorder lasted longer than
on any other day of the session, and when we left
the Hall, at one p. m, it was increasing rather
than diminishing.

The CONCERT LAST NIGHr.-The Concert Of
Madam Anna Bishop (Shutz) last evening, at
Wizards new hall was decided success Every
seat was filled, and the audience was a brilliant
and critical one. The fair cantatrice KNOWING
we'll her peculiar forte, added. when repeatedly
encored various popular ballads to the bill of the
entertainment, rendering them with an effect
which few indeed can equal, as was testified by
the rapturous applause with which her dulcet
notes were greeted. Tue duet from L'Eli.ise
glamour, in which Mr.. r idol phsen accompani-
ed her: was admirably rendered; as often as we
have listened to it we have never heard it better
sung. His execution of his score in it stamped
him as finished baritone worthy to appear on
the stage with any prima donna however great
her powers or fame.
Mr.. Mills, too, was equally we'll received His
style is exceedingly quiet, classic and chaste
Thus he aims to charm without attempting to
asfonish Always correct, his touch. where (of the
piano. Il should be 30, is delicate that of the
finest violinist when aiming TO reach the most
refined sentiment of the soul Of his audience In
this respect he reminds us Of Gustave Satter who
makes the piano discourse poetry at will it will
be remembered. OF course his execution is bril-
liant ALSO for no one can draw forth poetic strains
from piano, who Is mt capable of performn ny
grand passages with the full effect that should be
given to them. The instrument used was one of
Raven d Bacon's seven octave square pianos,
kindly furnished by Metzerou. We have long
held that no square pianos are made in this coun-
try superior than those of that factory, and are
happy that the experience Of last evening bears
out our judgment This hall was i large one in
which to put all instrument of its size to So severe
test. Yet it answered nobly from its lowest to
its highest limpid note to every demand made
upon 1t. No square piano is as powerful as a
grand piano; still We question whether any of the
audience who did not take the trouble to scan the
instrument very closely, were that they were
not listening to the tone Of an instrument Of the
class manufactured for the concert hall rather than
for the parlor.

Proceedings Of Yesterday Afternoon.

In THE SENATE, yesterday, after our report
closed
Mr.. Bigler proceeded with his remarks in reply
to tEoss of Mr.. Brown in regard to Mr.. Bowman,
the democratic nominee for public printer The
law says that the Superintendent shall not be in
terested, directly or indirectly, in the public
printing. What is an interest Ii must be that
sort of concern which would make a man respon-
sble for the losses entitled TO share in the prof
its. This was no such interest as that. II the
Senator's Interpretation is correct the banking
houses in Washington or the manufacturers OF
paper were interested in the public printing be-
cause MIR. Wendell was to pay them out of his
profits 1t Is clearly not in the spirit or intention
Of the law to place such inter probation as that
upon It. Mr.. Wendell was to ray Gen. Bowman
stipulated sum. and it mattered not where or
how he earned this money. 1t did not matter to
him whether MIR. Wendell's profits were large or
smail-whether he made or lost therefore he could
not have had that kind of interest which the law
contemplates. AS to the charge that the associate
editor of the Constitution is not naturalized that
was mistake. He had that gentleman's own
authority for saying that he is naturalzed citi-
zen, and has been for years. He would also add
that he had a communication from Gen. Bowman.
In which he said he intended: if elected, to SUI
perintend the work himself.
Mr. Davis characterized this whole matter AZ a
"tempest in teapot and thought it clear that
his colleagues Judgment had been warped by his
personal feelings or grievances 1t was aot proved
that this twenty thousand dollars which Gen.
Bowman was to receive was to come from the
profits on the public printing at ALL was charged
In order to make it out that he ..interested in
the public printing The profits on the binding
and the executive printing were sufficient to nav
that and something more, and not cent Of il need
come from the public printing. He thought Gen.
Bowman was Enthusiastically honest; and he praised
the Constitution for the sounsness of the articles
which had appeared in it during the past summer
on the territorial question.
The ballots having been received and counted
the result was follows:

The UnterriGed.

The Breckinridge and Lane wing of
the unterrifed Democracy of little Cambria,
manifested itself in County Convention,
in this place, on Tuesday last. Forty-two
delegates were present. The Convention
organized by selecting II. Kinkead, Esq,
President, Geo. Walters and John Shar-
baugh, Esquires, Vice Presidents, ard
Thomas Mcconnell and s B. Mccormick,
Esquires, Secretaries. The principal con-
test was in nominating a candidate for
Assembly, the gentlemen ballotted for
being NJ. d. Magellan, Geo. Walters, Geo.
Engelbach and William kittell, Esquires.
On the second ballot, however, Mr. Mage
han out-distanced all competitors, and was
then duly declared unanimously nomina-
ted. NJ. j. Smith, Esq, now made a
motion that the Conven- ion endorse for
the remaining Offices the nominees Of the
Douglas County Convention. This was
voted down with great unanimity. Mr.
Smith then stated that he heartily agreed
with the Convention in its opposition to
George Nelson Smith but as he could GO
no farther than that, he therefore declined
to take part in any other nominations, and
withdrew, A. NJ. Gregg, of Johnstown
was then nominated for Register and Re
corder; Joseph Gill, of Chest, for Com
missioner; and Henry Hopple for Poor
House Director. Various committees were
appointed, and resolutions were passed
strongly condemning Stephen \. Douglas
