FIRE ON BROAD STREET-Two BUSINESS HOUSE
DEs1RoTED-About half past nine o'clock last nigh
fire was discovered burning in the inside OF tn
third story of the bakery and confectionery o
Aessrs. OTTEvILE & KLooz, on the South SIDE o.
Broad street, between Market and College. Thai
and the adjoining building occupied by Mr.. x. +,
HuGHsToN as a wholesale and retail grocery, was
covered with tin underneath shiBge roof, and con-
sequently the fire continued to spread rapdlyjn the
inside of the two buildings near the roof for
some time before the engines could be got TO
play upon it owing to a delay in giving
the alarm, the whole interior of the bakery was on
fire before the engines got there. Finally when the
fire broke through the roof, the engines commenced
doing good work and the danger to the adjoin-
ing buildings-one on the corner Of Market and
Broad, being the Drug Store of DR.. W. F. GRAY &
Co.. and on the other side the new building occupied
by Messrs. J. W. HORTON & Co.-was soon disspated
and shortly afterwards the fire was. subdued.
Once during the progress of the fire, just as the
fremen were getting the mastery, the water gave
out, and the fire got fresh start.
u We understood there was an oven on the second
or third floor of the bakery where the fire is sup
posed to have originated, and the Roadway the fire
had made deferred the frernen from entering the
building 10 combat the flames, and great efforts was
required &c prevent the spread OF Ike fire
Messrs. oTTESvHLE & KLooz were insured to
limited extent with Mr.. W. J. MARR, but for how
much we did not learn. We presume they will lose
considerable aside from their insurance, as their
whole stock was destroyed. There was also some
insurance on the stock of Mr.. HUGHsToN, but we
could not learn how much. A portion of his stock
was removed but his loss will be heavy from the
fire aud damage by water.
The buildings were owned, we believe, by Prof. |
N. LAWRENCE LINDSEY, of Lebanon, and were in |
sured with Messrs H. K. q P. ?. PECK for s., 500 |
The building occupied by Messrs W. GRAY & Co. |
and Messrs. J. w. HORTON & Co. escaped uninjured,
we believe.

TRAGIC AFFAIR IN MEMPHIs-A Man STEALS PIECE
OF BEEF AND THEN COMMITS SuIoIDE.-In Memphis
Saturday night man named LOUIS WEIGLE, Ger
man. about forty years of age, was arrested by Off
Ger MOORE, on charge of stealing piece of beef,
weighing about fifteen pounds, from butcher of
that city. He was taken to the station-house and
locked up In the morning he was found stretched
upon his bed, dead he had taken his neck-hander-
chief and drawn it tightly around his throat that
it choked him to death. 1t is supposed that the de-
ceased was labOring under temporary alteration
of mind. He was tailor by trade, and pretty we'll
known in the city as an inofensive, supplemented

Two Ways of Amending the Federal Com
stitutiOn-a short Way and a Long Way
A Practicable Mode and a Dodge.


The telegraph advised us yesterday that the Re
pubhcans in both Houses are ready to vote uunani-
| mously in favor Of National Convention to settle
| difficulties. What is meant by that? A National
| Convention can be called by Congress but in one
way, and that is an application Of the Legislatures of
tIoo-thr1S Of The several States" This Congress can
not be directed, for the that the Legsla-
tures of twothirds of the States not in session.
1 and can not be before the adjournment OF Con-
| gress SO that before National Convention can
be got for proposing amendments to the Constitu-
tion the Legislatures of twothirds of the States
| must apply to Congress to call such Convention
which could moi be done before 1852; and then the
National Convention under the call of Congress
could not well assemble before the fall or winter of
| 1862. And should the Convention agree upon
amendments, they would have to be ratified by the
Legislatures of treefoO of the several States
or by Conventions in threefourths thereof as Co.'S
gress should direct The Judgment of the States on
the proposed amendments could hardly be had be-
fore the fall of 1858. That is the long way of eff
fecting amendments TO the Constitution.
EThere is a much shorter mode, and the only
one that would seem to be worth considering at
this time, of securing amendments to the Fed
eral Constitution; and of that we have no ap-
probation from the Republicans of Congress
That mode Is the adoption of amendments by
tooirds vote Of each House Of Congress- and their
submission to the several States for ratification
That is the only proper way to meet the present |
critical emergency in national affairs through
amendments to our Constitution. 1t has two or three
decided advantages over the plan of National Con-
venton. 1t is the most prompt and practicable |
way. II confines the consideration of the States to
distinct propositions which admit of no amendment
The adoption of amendments by a two-thirds vote /
of the two Houses of Congress would be satisfac-
tory to the border slave States that the
same would be ratified by threefourths of the
States Suppose Congress should, by two-thirds
vote, adopt whatever plan may be recommended by
the Peace Conference, in session at Washington
and submit it to the ratification of conventions of
the States, the Legislatures thereof does any
person suppose the people. acting through con-
ventions Legislatures, would ratify in the re-
CURED number of Statess Instead, then, of talking
of National Convention, let Congress adopt the
only prompt and practicable mode that is demanded
by the emergency of the occassion-agree on
amendments, and submit them to the States for rat
fcatiOn.-Cfncinndti Enquirer
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1853-1862, 1861-02-27

TIM TARIFF BuA-TAxNG TEA AND CoFFEE-f we
understand the tariff amendments agreed to yester-
day. in theSenate four cents per pound is to be adj
ded on tea, and half cent per pound on coffee.
These alterations must tell oppressiVely upon every
poor man and every poor mans family in the land.
1t would seem that while the Republican party are
ready to turn the country upside down for the sake
of the negro" the white mans interests and the
white mans comforts are things wholly lost sight
Of "Irrepressible conflicts over, and about that
"negro," however, cannot be carried on well with
out nloney-the sinews af war-and hence while
Sambo dances, white man must pay the piper.-Neto

That DUEL.-The ThomasyiHe Enterprise thQs
corrects a statement which has got into very gene
raj circulation: " 1t seems that the fatal duel we
published last week as having taken place between
the editor of the Tallahassee (Fla) Sentinel and a
gentleman by the name Of COLEMAN was a false
alarm, and that these gentlemen are living to appre-
ciate our regrets on the occasion The Sentinel
came TO hand on Friday, but contained nothing On
the subject and we have learned since that no such
hostile meeting occurred. Those of our exchanges
who copied our paragraph will no doubt confer a
favor on our contemporary of the Sentinel by bring
ing him back to terrestrial life"
