THE CAUSE OF THE LAWRENCE
DISAsTRR.

The fact seems to have been we'll established that
the falling of the Pemberton Mill arose from the
defective character Of the castiron pillars within
the building used to support the interior Orders, or
summer-trees. These pillars are the chief support
of all extensive floors, and are to be found in Ell
large buildings, from the basement to the attic.
Some one or more of these pillars in the Pemberton
Mill seem to have given way; and so insufficient
were the remaining pillars 10 sustain the additional
burden thus thrown upon them, that one after
another they were crushed, until the whole interior
mass came tumblipg down in ore general wreck,
bringing the external walls along with it,
II appears that these pillars were furnished BY
iron founders at so much apiece instead Of so much
pound; and by parties who are represented TO
have been in the practice of undertaking more sub
tantisl contractors, and who had failed in business
several times in consequence, The result OF this
wofeld circumstance was, that the pillars we're
made too light, and of bad iron. They had the do
eets usually found in piecework, Of which tits dif'
ficuh to test the character. being hollow tubes,
with solid ends there was no really good method Oh
testing them bat BY weight and neither this nor any
other test was applied. The procuring Of the put

III. Clay, delivered in the open air at Frankfort,
Kentucky on the 10th inst, sgreeaby to public
announcement, widely spread. that ho would speak

paper, personal to him. Mr.. Howard, Dem, Ohio,
also noticed Washington correspondents letter. when
Mr. Rabbit, Rep, Ohio, reminded the House of the
question before it. claiming that the resolution for the
plurality rule was in order. Mr. Sherman Rep, Ohio,
inquired of Mr. CLARK, DEM, Mo-, il he would with
draw his resolution so that he might address the House.
Mr.. Clark responded that he would not and Mr. sher-
man declared that he would never explain his position
as to the Helper Book 80 long as that resolution was

loquy ensued, when the House adjourned without a
vote for Speaker.

struc.ion Of these chief scoports Of an expensive

said, IL does not appear that any tssts Whatever
were applied these pillars, risky ascastss OF iron

70 founders and contractors, whose interests lay
making them as light and aspoor as possible.
But tins is not al. Not only we're these castings
left TO be thus constructed IN the very cheapest and
frsilest NJ amer, but no sort o. allowance seems to
have been made for any contingent or extra stfaia
which they might be required TO bear. They wers
not only viainously bad but there were entirely
too few of them. If they had been sufficiently na
merous in any part Of the building, that part would
have remained standing. 0ne-half or three quar-
ters of The ediice might have fallen, and still Iss
the remainder upright, if it had been sufficiently
propped. The fact that the whole went together ~
demonstratiye proof, despite every allegation to the
contrary, that every part was alike weak, and no
peis Of any thing ike the requisite strength.
These facts cast damning responsibility upon
all who were in any way responsibly engaged in tho
construction Of the Penberton Mills. At the SANS
.time, they show plainly enough that if there had
been any public authority to which these parties
were responsible the disaster might have been
ayerted. The circumstances here developed cal
loudly, therefore, upon Legislators to consider
the demands resting upon them for laws to meet al
such cases in tie future.

POLITICAL DODGEs,

Mr.. Buchanan's reported remarks to the man
contractors, and some intimahons, made In Con-
Qress, that the Republicans might elect some other
man than Mr. Sherman Speaker, we look upon a.
simply balderdash In our estimation they are In
tended for nothing but to denoralize the Republican
ranks. and reduce them to the same state Of ccnfa-
sion and anarchy which we behold among those
factions in Congress, which are striving to prevent
an organization of the House. Still we are willing
and anxious TO see their sincerity tested. We want
the gentlemen who hold out these hopes, or these
certainties rather, to point out how they can DC
realized We want the men who make the state
ments TO give us the names of the men, outside the
ranks of those who support Mr.. Sherman, who VIII
vote for some other Republican. If there arc
enough of them to elect any such man, let them
come out and proclaim Themselves If MIR.
Buchanan has any friends who are ready thus
TO end the existing contest, let US know the
names of those gentlemen. II Democratic Mem
beers Of Congress themselves are ready to end the
struggle by concentrating on some Republican other
than Mr.. Sherman, let them avow it, and name
their man. Nothing else Is wanted 10 eject an
election. We run no rsk in saying that the Be
publicans will unanimously support any welftried
member of their ranks, for the Office Of Speaker
that any one Of their oficiOus Democratic advisers
viii indicate as 10 be supported BY Democratic
votes enough to elect him. Now, gentlemen, come
on Do not stand grumbling and Hinging out that
the Republicans can do this and can do that IL
they only had mind to. Don't be INVITING the
Republicans about their ability to elect Speaker
if they would only change their candidate, unless
you produce the men by whose aid it can be done
f you are not ready with ten members, or five
members to add to the Republican strength, let us
hear no more of this kind of stuff. But we know
full well there viii be no ten members, and no five
members, and no one member offered from these
complaining quarters. Mr.. Buchanan will not
name man, and not bogus Democrat in tho
House will name one, who can be procured to vote
for any Republican whatever for Speaker. The
eclaratioD, from whatever quarter it issues. 10
empty of every quality but insincerity and malice
toward the Republican party; which party its
antagonists would gladly, and by every method.
dsorganize and demoralize till il became as help
less and hopeless as themselves.

WHY CHAOS RRrGNs IN CONGRESS-

The country should understand what arc the
principal reasons why the House of Representatives
is not organized. They are Of two classes. First.
Mr.. Buchanan resists the election Of q Republican
Spesker-not Mr.. Sherman merely, but any Repub-
Ican. Such, we are informed, on good authority,
is the explicit advice he gives his friends in the
House. And why One would suppose that with
the Post-O Office Department crippled and wsILngs
broken down for want of money, and with other
Departments verging toward the same condition.
he would wish 10 see Congress in working cOndi
ton, go that needed appropriation bills might BE-
passed. Are we to explain his present course on
the ground that he fears such an investigation OF
the financial affairs of his Administration as would
be sure to follow the election of Republican to tho
Speakers chari Is it truo that all branches Of tho
Government retk with rottenness, and are gam
grened with corruptionl Ii this is 30, il is certain
that it viii all be exposed to the public eye If the
opponents of the Democracy get control of the OF
ganizaton Of the House; and On that ground il
would not seem surprising that the head Of The
Government and all his suborainstes should GEN.
pre to foment and protract chaos in the Represent
aiives' Hall.
Second: But the conspiracy, in part, Originate q

II is reported BY telegraph that Mr.. Giddngs
ard others, of Ohio, have been ordered under ar
rest by the Senate's Harpers Ferry Investigating
Committee. We can hardly credit the report. Mr.
Giddings has publicly avowed his perfect willing
Dess to respond promptly to any inquiries that
might be put to him by the proper authorities 10
respect Of his knowledge, or want of 1t, touching
the case under examination. But this is not all
Mr.. GiddiDgs some time ago minated, very prop
ery, that his character and history are before the
world, and that he would not chooee to stoop to
answer questions in any way impeaching that char
actcr, coming from irresponsible parties; and that
he scorned all allegations and innuendos that
he had ever been guilty Of conduct anywhere, at
any time, on any subject, inconsistent with his da-
Ties as a citizen and Representative in the Con-
gress Of the nation.
We cannot think, We repeat, that it is possible
any orders to arrest Mr. Gddings have been given.
A simple invitation the Committee know fnll well,
would brig him, and We presume, if his presence
is desired, that nothing than this has been is
sued. We cannot conceive it possible that tue ma
iorty of the Committee are insane enough to pur-
sue course that would needlessly add to the ex-
citement created by the John Brown invasion.

In the House of Representatives yesterday Mr..
Pryor assailed Mr., james Gordon Bennett of The
NJ Y. Herald, in terms Of unequaled Vitupera-
ton. Not content with his invectives against Mr.
Bennett, be went on to heap the foulcst assaults
upop members of Mr.. BENEFITS family, whose
names no gentleman would drag into such con-
troyersy. The cause Of it all seems to have been
some published remarks Of Mr.. Benefits upon Mr..
Pror's course in his cOlloquy with Mr. Hickman in
the House on Tuesday last. In that colloquy Mr..
Pryor used language and exhibited manners which
filed the country with dsgast, and Mr. Benefits
observations, though severe, were fully justified by
he facts. However, if they had needed any other
Justification, it wssahordedby the speech Of yester
ay. We are anything but admirers OF Mr. Ben
cit, but between him and sfr. Pryor the difference
largely in his favor, not only in respect Of ora'n'
