ties that these two agents OF the society were

period by two of our city churches; but IN
view Of the report of the colporteur OF Prince

sary to appeal to the friends Of the Bible cause
in this community for aid in this direction

that the President and Secretary, on behalf of
the committee, be empowered to publish an
appeal to the citizens for donations In aid OF

INcENpIARY ATTEMPT. On Wednesday
night last an attempt was made by two men to
set fire to the framed building on the east side
of Water street, opposite the First National
Bank, used by Mr. "A G. Brown as carpen-
ter's shop. The attempt was witnessed by
the inmates of Mr.. Bowen's house adjoining,
whose cries alarmed the incendiaries and drove
them off, 1t is to be hoped that the city is not
to be inflicted with incendiaries in addition to
the robberies that are now each day recorded.

sr&CIAE DISPATCHES TO THEGAZGT1F
FROM WASHINGTON.
- y WAsHINGToN, Feb. II.
HE Underwood Case.

la the Supreme Court, to. day, Mr.. James
LYONS, Of Virginia, made very strong argu-
ment in favor OF granting the writ asked for,
to prohibit Underwood from multiplying the acts
OF tie State Courts. He contended that the
power was Inherent in the Supreme Court and
should be used, for unless the Court interiered,
the course pursued by Underwood might be
practiced in the other States OF the Union,
and the ends Of justice thus thwarted, while
the community and society generally must
suffer from an indscrimiuate release OF crlm-
inas. Mr.. L. made strong point in ref
ereuce to tho status of Virginia, when he con-
tended that the people of the State must make
their ovnConsttution and that the only author
ity Congress had in the matter was to see that it
should be Republican in form. MIR. Lyons
spoke for about an hour and half, and his
argument was considered by all who heard it
mastery effort.
The Court reserves its decision.
The counsel for Jeter Phillips was present.
but said nothing.
Mr. Bradley is associated with Mr.. Lyons,
but on account of indsposition, was unable to
speak.
Virginia.
The report telegraphed yesterday on what
was supposed good authority, concerning the
action Of the Judiciary Committee, in reference
to their acceptance of the plans of the Com
mittee of nine from Virginia, turns out, upon
inquiry, to be incorrect. The Committee have
not yet had the subject under consideration,
but have agreed, if possible to take it up on
Wednesday next; and while it meets with some
favor in Committee and in the Senate will, 1t IS
said by Mr.. Bingham, receive no favor in the
House. 1t is not thought now that any ac-
ton will be had this session on either the
constitutional proposition, or the removal of
the disabilities of any about whom their is a
contest, as the committees and Congress will be
too much occupied with other matters When
the new administration comes in, a more len
lent policy it is said, is to be pursued-but
that remains to be seen.
