ing a difficulty occurred between Jerry
Woods and German named Miller, on
the old Raleigh road, near the Fair
Grounds, in the course of which the lat
ter made some remarks about the family

to such an extent that he drew pistol
and fred at Miller, the ball striking him
in the thigh and inAicting flesh wound
that is not considered dangerous. Woods
was before Esquire Creighton this morn
ing, who bound him over in the sum of
two thousand dollars to appear next

shooting with intent to kill.

FIRE AT STATE HOSPITAL. About
half.past six o'clock yesterday evening,
the frame building situated in rear OF
DR.. Keller's residence, at the State Hos
pital, and occupied as kitchen, caught
fire from the explosion of a coal oil lamp,
and was entirely consumed. 1t was with
great difficulty, only in fact, by the most
prompt and energetic exertion, that the
adjacent buildings, used as hospital
wards, were saved. The loss is estimated
at one thousand dollars. The patients
in the hospital became very much
alarmed, and some of them forgot their
aches and moved off at a lively rate.

DEAR SIR: You are right in supposing that
Congress made mistakes, as IS the inevitable
lot Of man but you mistake IN supposlng that
there is any law to prohibit the removal 0!
district commanders without the consent OF
the Senate Soon after the commencement
Of the last session OF Congress reported
bill from q committee Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives which contained provisions pro-
hibitne removal without consent OF the Sen
ate 1t passed the House and was sent to the
Senate. The Senate struck it out and return
ed it to the House, which refused to concur 10
the amendment The result was committee
Of conference, where an animated contest en-
sued. There were several other questions IN
controversy between the hoises which the
House offered to yield if this could be granted
The Senate perseverlngly refused, declaring
that they would sooner lose the bill. AS that
would Illustrate all our legislation it could not
be allowed. The House yielded with warn
ING Of the evil it could inhict upon the country
Some of the members Of the Senate seemed to
doubt their power under the Constitution
which they had Just repudlated, and wholly
outside of which all agreed that we were act
ing, else our whole work OF reconstruction was
usurpation; or, perhaps, they had desire to
be thought to be graVely conservative and
magnanimous These ideas seemed to control
the action of some haIf-a-dozen Senators, who
preferred trusting the President. My dear
colonel, few Senator's of great ability, un
doubted patriotism and purity, have become
so saturated with what they are pleased to call
conservatism, Whose meaning [ confess | am
unable to understand that | fear they will
forget the monster that was slain IN l776, and
again in 1861, and will thus do great damage
to the creation of a government now so capable
of being converted into a political paradise
This is liable to happen, not omuch by direct
and papabe attack upon it's framework as by
gradually forgetting the vital principles Of the
Declaration Of Independence. Strike out one
of the living sparks which give life to our
goddess Of liberty, and the mysterious and in
tense heat, whose welding fires near 4 century
ago were and at present are, tuslng principles
of freedom and reducing despotlsm TO clnders,
will gradually cool, until the most conservative
despot could thrust his sword into it without
affecting It's temper | have said above that !
did not know the meaning Of conservatism. [
have since seen the report Of a speech said to
have been made by an0hio Senator at Canton,
Ohio, which, if II be truly reported, and is to
be considered as definition Of that doctrine,
then it to ne is very alarming than
Copperh eadisn. 1t is legislation without au-
thority and reconstruction by 1lsilrpation.
am, very respectfully,
! Cur obedient servant,
THADDECs STEVENS.
