Mr- Summer inquired what. WAS the object
of the resolution. Tk q
Mr.. Poland said he wished to move re-
consideration Of the amendment in relation to
the sppeintment 1pcwer. Fhs resolution was
adopted.
Mr.. Howe, taking the. floor, on the postal
committee bill, said there had not been an
appropriation introduced IN the Senate since
he became member oft, that had not found
some one to denounoe it - uncoustitational.
Before. the pending bill had been fairly
offered to the Senate, it had bssn dsnonnced
as unconstitutional. If i be true
that the State OF New Jersey had
. right to limit the commerce Of that
State to single line of railroad, who
controls the legislatinn of coamerce between
here and New York. One Of the objects Of
the formation of > pnion hs ssid xas the reg
ulation of commerce by the Federal govern
ment. Admitting the law to be that only the
Legislature of the State Of New Jersey
could authorize the construction of railroad
through the State. He denied the right Of
New Jersey to exact such conditions on the
road. When built this was not question Of
regular toll, it was question Of enabling
commerce to choose between different high
ways. The power Of State on this subject
must be exercised in subordination to the
powers Of Nations. This haG been settled by
the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Creswell offered an amendment to the
bill giving Congress right 70 alter or amend
or to repeal at any time, and spoke against
the bill, He said the printing bill was put of
and great many Of the same kind was soon to
follow.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

Enthusiastically asternoon ah,,. .,uo
o'clock, officer Crosby, Stenhen .' a emd
White, while passing alono pI Par anu
street, discovered the roof Of Mr. sPauls
house on Main street, at the head Of Me-
braska, to be on fire. They Immediately
run around to the front of the premises
and notified the family, who were totally
unconscious of the fact, with the assis.
lance OF several citizens who were nass.
Ing, the officers succeeded in putting fha
fire out without giving the alarm.
Another fire broke out vestardav &c
ternoon, about o'clock, in the slaupht.
er house of George Staylor on the Prin-
cess Anne road, beyond the city limits
The fire department all turned ont
promptly, but the house was hu rnt
down before any assistance couid ba rom
dered. Upon returning, the ITnitad
fired up, and had trial before the Pre-.
byterian church. She worked viii on.
tire satisfaction, and threw a good BODY
Of water over the steeple of the church
through al. inch nozzle, which, taking
into consideration the high wind nre.
vailing at the time, fully tested her 90.
pacity as machine of more than ordi.
nary power and utility. The Aid and
Hope were the only two machines that
gotto work at the fire. They rendered.
good service in saving the adjoining
buildings. The United and Truck were
turned back by order of the 1 hief Enoi.
neer, there being no necessity for their
services.

tonight, we trust all who take delight
in good singing and in negro acting of
all kinds, in which witt humor, song
and sentiment abound, will patronize
the Juveniles" Let them have good
house.
