FIRE.-About half past eight O'Clock this
morning fire was discovered in the rear Of No.
474 Eleventh street. An alarm was sounded
from Box 3S, (Franklln englne-house.) The
Union engine responded, the other engines
being out Of service. Owing to the distance
this engine had to go, the flames obtained
considerable headway. eThe lire was, how
ever, through the eXertions of the flremen,
mostly confined to the rear building. The
house is the property of Mr.. Samuel Nor
ment, and at the time OF the fire was occu-
pied by Mr.. Charles White. The loss is con-
siderable, Mr.. Norment's being estimated at
about $1,000, and Mr.. Whites at Si00. The
rear building was destroyed.

The BILL 10 strengthen the public credit,
which has finally passed Congress, both
Houses having agreed to the report of the
committee Of conference, provides that In
order to remove any doubt as to the purpose
Of the Government to discharge all Just obli-
cations to the public creditors, and to settle
conflicting questions and interpretations of
the laws by virtue Of which such obligations
have been contracted, II is hereby provided
and declared that the faith of the United
States is solemnly pledged to the payment In
coin, or Its equivalent, of all the obligations
Of the United States not bearing interest,
known as United States notes, and of the In
terest-bearlng obligations of the United
States, except in cases where the law author
izing the Issue of any such obligation has eX-
pressly provided that the same may be paid
In lawful money or other currency than gold
and silver. But none of said interest-bear-
ing obligations not already due shall be paid
or redeemed before maturity, unless at such
| time United States notes shall be convertible
into coin at the option of the holder, or I'M
| less at such time bonds Of the United States
| bearing lower rate of interest than the
bonds to be redeemed can be sold at par In
coin. And the Uuited States also solemnly
pledges Its faith to make provision at the
earliest practicable period for the redemption
Of the United States notes In coin. That
any contract hereafter made specifically pay
able In coin, and the consideration of which
may be loan of coin, or a sale Of property,
or the rendering Of labor or service OF any
kind, the price of which as carried into the
contract may have been adjusted on the basis
Of the coin value thereof at the time Of such
sale or the rendering Of such service or labor,
shall be legal and valid, and be enforced ac-
cording TO Its terms; and on the trial Of
suit brought for the enforcement of any such
contract proof of the real consideration may
be given.
