The New York Times, Raymond's paper,
has the following interesting sfafnment.


The New York Times, Raymond's paper,
has the following interesting statement
Mr.. Bingham made the motion TO refer
some days ago, declaring that he did it be.
cause he was for adhering to the amend
ment, and he desired TO test the sense OF
the House on that point. Mr.. Stevens has
done everything in his power to prevent
this result. He has modified his bill to
suit the demand, of the extreme men, and
has accepted all the amendments offered
by members which he thought likely to
give the bill additional votes. He accept
ed Spalding's amendment to declare mar
tial law, changed the preamble to the bill,
modified 1t still further at the suggestion OF
Mr.. Paine, and finally accepted long
amenSment which Mr.. Shellabarger had
prepated after consultation, and which
was, in fact, q substitute for the whole bill.
lie finally made an urgent appeal to Mr..
Bingham to withdraw his motion to refer,
and allow the bill to be amended in the
House before sending it to the committee.
Mr.. Bingham refused, because he wished
to know distinctly whether the House
would adhere to the constitutional amend
ment or not. The affirmative vote was
composed of ffty-one Republicans and
thirty-seven Democrats. The nays were
all Republicans, mostly the extreme men
in the House. The vote gives pretty
good test of the division of the House. The
committee will probably try to put the bill
in shape for future action; but the COM
mittee itself is divided on the subject, and
the reference is generally regarded as q de-
feat of the entire Radical project Of recon
struction for the present session.

Threatened foundation OF the Town
of Helena.

ST. LOUIS, January 2S.-Late Helena,
Arkansas, newspapers say that the Missis-
Sippi made another serious cncroachme mt
upon the limits Of that town on Saturday
the 10Th instant. The bank opposite the
Exchange Hotel slid into the river, taking
with it a portion Of the main street, and
endangering the foundations of the hotel
and several stores so they will have to be
torn down and rebuilt further back. 1t is
feared that a large number of the business
houses located in that vicinity will have to
be vacated at an early day.

STOCK SALE.


Messrs Davenport Il Co. had n sale of stook,
yesterday at their auction room, over the Ma
tional Exchange Bank. The attendance was
quite liberal and the bidding spirited. The
disposition to buy on time was manifested In
lively manner, justifying the inference OF a
strong reliance upon the improvement which
will be impaired TO financial matters after a
time Nor is it probable that this reliance
will meet with disappointment. When the
blockade Of ice is removed, the crops OF to-
bacco, &c, are brought to market, and bust
ness generally resumed, stocks will command
a better price, and the aspect Of affairs,
financial and commercial, will be far more
encouraging. The following are the sales

sTake all your clothing, Agnes,
and you can put them on in the
ent1y--the house is all ION fire.
In @ few minutes more the fatlaer
nnd child stood in the road, the
latter with bundle of clothing in
her hand, while the former held a
small trunk. They gazed upon the
burning building; but neither spoke.
And others came running to the
scene, but no one tried to stay the
flames. And the effort would have
been useless had it been made for
the old shell burned like tinder.
But more still, no one would have
made the effort, even had success
been evident, for the miserable old
hut had too long occupied one OF
the fairest spots of the village. There
were no other buildings to be endan-
gered, SO they let the old thing burn.
"4ou have yonr money safe, said
Agnes.
Yes. See, L took the trunk. I
LETT the candle burning so that
could watch it. But I went to sleep,
and the candle must have fallen over.
But L got the trunk" As he spoke
he held it up and gazed upon it by
the light Of the tiaring ruins.
"1hM 0int lie h'uHh,." whispered
Agnes in alright.
''NoT--." But the old man
spoke no further. He said he had
taken the wrong trunk. This was
only filled with the old deeds and
rusty receipts.
"RmneW Lost!" groaned Noah
Bremen, rs he turned from the scat
tered cmbers. 81 had $4,000 in
that trunk, and where are they now.
Never mind" said Agnes, wind
ing her arms about her fathers neck,
well be happy without it."

The object Of the Association is to fur

having been impoverished by thewar. now
depend on the needle fol; daily bread.
Docs not such an object commend itself 10
the hearts of our citizens? Or must the
anxious applicants for work be told that

for them? Shall it be sad that such an
Association as this cannot be sustained in

See the crimson clouds. OF evening, :.
Lattice-b bars across the blue-
Where the moon in pallid beauty, LSS
Like an angel, gazes through!
Over all the winding river,
By the fading sunset Est,
Slowly rises up the vapor,
In a cloud of ghostly mist
While the eve is slowly turning
It's last grains of golden sand,
What holy quiet hovers
Over all the drowsy landl
There is now the spell of silence
OF q silonce calm and deep
Over all the placid water
Where the blue mist seems asleep.
And the vessel slowly gliding
Down the river to the bay,
Show on sheets of spreading canvas
Iints which change from red to grey.
All is quiet, save the murmur
or the tide upon the barr
See each little breaker playing
With the image of star
And tits thus that human creatures,
Bowed with ago or fresh in youth,
Give back brokenly the image
OF each grand, celestial truth.
Now the brooding silence deepons,
And the scene IL one of reef.
While the wreok'd day drifts down crandIy
To be stranded in the West
On yon rugged coast OF cloud. land
High above the village spire,
On its mighty purple head-lands,
ana IFS crags all tipped with fire.
