FIRE.

About seven o'clock, on Wednesday
last, the barn and out buildings OF Mr..
VIM. Knowles, in Wayno township.
five miles west of Circlcville, were
consumed by fire with all their con-
tents, consisting of hay, oats, corn,
farming utensils, &c. We are pained
to state, that four valuable horses,
worth not less than $3.50, were also
burned 10 death. Mr.. Knowles and
his hired man made every exertion to
save the horses. but their efforts were
unavailing. 1t was undoubtedly the
work of an incondiary. Mr., Knowles
discovered the Ere while on his way
to, church. He hastened back, but Il
was too late--all was destroyed. Two
mon, supposed. to be the incendiaries,
were seen running directly. after the
alarm, butit was impossibIeto reoog-
nize them. The loss Of Mr.. Knowles
is about $4,000, on which there was an

Col. Forncy's Chronicle gives tho fol-
lowing summary of tho propositions Of
Senator Trumbull's speech,
l. That tho bill itself was, inspired
by tho annual message Of tho Presi
dent of the United States, delivered 10
Congress at tho commencement of the
present session. That message, it will
be remembered, expressed o desire
upon tho part Of tho President to So
cure all men in their rights, and Ia
pro cot tho freedmen In all the privi
logcs guaranteed to Thorn under the
/ Emancipation Proclamation; and in
the Judgment Of Mr.. Trumbull and thir'
ty.Sir Senators ,cho roted lcith him 70,
il, on the 25th of January. the provis
ions of the bill were ominontly calcu
latod to accomplish these objects.
III. That IL was not as the Presi
don't AYERS, m original measure, bu
simply an amendment to the bill undol
which the Froedmen's Bureau Is nov
acting, and which had tho sanction o
Executive himself, as woll as tho up
proval Of tho great majority of tho 10y
al people Of tho country. AS an amend
ment, it removes many of the objoc
tionable features of,tho Bureau as nov
orgapized, simplifying its ramifcation
and making it moro efficient.
| III. That it was not intended as
permanent part Of tho administrativ
policy Of tho Government-one oft
sections expressly stating, on the con
trary, that it shall remain in fore
until otherwise provided by law,
just us all other laws Of Congress ar
supposed to do. The wonder is tha

.i. WAsnINoroN, Feb, 20.
This mas been a field day in, the
American Congress. The Senate
Chamber has not witnessed such an
attendance ofspectators since tho fa-
mons days of the winter of 1861. The
galleries, aisles and corridors, the
cIoak.rooms, on tho floor. and even the
reporters gallery. were filed, ladies
being admitted to tho latter place. -
On the floor Of tho Senate there was q
third of the members from the House
present, at intervals in tho dcbate.--
The anticipated debate on the Presi.
dents Veto Message drew this immense
attendance. ,..
Senator Wade, before the question
was reached, introduced Constitu.
tionr' amendment limiting tho Presi,
Dental Office to ono torn of the in.
cumbent. In speaking briefly on this
ho said that the President proposed to
admit to the halls of Congress rebels
lately in arms, and he added that he
looked upon those who favored it as
little better than traitors at heart
This declaration produced an immense
sensation. ., s.s
After Mr.. Wade concluded, the
Freedman's Bureau bill came up.
Carrot Davis spoke for an hour. Sen
ator Trumbull, tho author Of the
Frecdman's Bureuu bill, then spoke
for two hours and half, and was lis.
tened to with great interest by the au.
dience. He was entirely courteous to
the President, and only addressed his
argument from legal point Of view.
At half past four, amid breathless
silence, the question camo up whether
thebillshould be enacted notwithstand.

The yeas and nays were. called, and
overy name and vote were watched
with intense interest. There was q
disposition to applaud when Dixon,
Doolittlc, Morgan and Cowan voted to
sustain tho President. When tho vote
was announced by the Vice President
declaring that, two-thirds not having
voted for the bill, it was lost, and the
veto was sustained. the pent-up masse:
in the galleries sent up prolonged and
enthusiastic cheers, mingled with som,
Kisses from tho colored gallery. The
Vice President Immediately orderet
the clearing of tho galleries, and thc
Sergeant.at-arms and his o Fl Gers
promptly executed tho order.
Tho Representatives who voted t
sustain the President were Senators
Cowan, Dixon, Doolittle, Henderson
