HoRICE GREELEY IND CONGRESS,

NEW YORK, January 25.
To-days Tribune says: The House has adopted
the Senate's previous action OH the Virginia bill
without amendment. The terms at length on which
Virginia is to bc admitted were yesterday set forth
in our columns and may be found again to-day
embodied in the report of the proceedings. We
do not need to repeat that we deeply regret the
result finally attained, at the end Of these weary
weeks OF debate and recrimination. Congress
prescribed certain terms for the admission Of
Virginia; the State complied TO the full with these
terms. Congress now prcscribes afrcsh terms
This is Furnishing the treason Of Virginia in 1861
by bad faith on the part Of Congress in 1870. We
do not believe such q course to be craftsmanship
or even sound party policy, and aggravating as Is
the wrong done Virginia. we believe she will
suffer less from it in the end than will the party
that has wrought it.

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NEWS.
WASHINGTON, January %.
The House spent the entire day in debating
the report OF the Committee on Elections in the
contested election case OF Wallace, tRadicali
against Simpson, Dcmocrat,) from the Fourth
Congressional District Of South Carolina.
At one time it was decided by vote OF loS to
10 that Simpson had q prima hacie title to his
seat, but, in consequence of the severe lighting
and desperate efforts of the leading Radicals, this
vote was rcconsdcred, and the primd .fdcie re-
port Of the Committee on Elections laid on the
table.
This leaves the case open to contest on its mer-
it's, but, pending the final decision OF the House,
deprves Simpson o. his seat.
The scene in the House during the debate, and
when the final vote was taken, was among the
most exciting ever witnessed during the cons!a2-
ration of a contested election.

SHARON.
PLYMOTHEAN.

It has been known for many years, that bed of porcelain clay existed in the North East Dart of sharon, about three miles from West Cornwall, in land formerly owned by Orange Lake; but it is only of late that its extent and quality have been, in some degree, developed. For few years past, the farm containingit it has been owned by MT. Jesse Stanton, and during his ownership, the facilities for working the clay bed and purifying the material for use, have been greatly extended. Nr. J. N. Bartram. an enterprising gentleman of Sharon, is partner of MT. Stanton in working the bed, which is found to contain the clay in it's purest condition, and with no limit to its quantity. It is coming rap- idly into use in the manufacture of paper, and as a material for porcelain wares its qualities are unrivalled. The gentlemen engaged in fitting it for market, intend to extend their work, so as to supply every demand for it.

TERRIBLE CA1AM1rY.-It is now ascer- tained that over fifty lives were lost by the burning of the "War Eagle" at La Crosse. Wis, on the 14th of May. The railroad and steamboat managers are concealing the fact that large number of immigrants were burned on the lower deck, and many were drowned. A newly-married couple, bound for St. Louis, were burned in their state- room.
 This horrible accident, which many of our readers will remember, originated in . barrel of kerosene, which was leaking, standing on deck. The fnid in some way became ignited, and this wholesale mur- der was the result. It is quite time that the Authorities put final stop to the sale of this murderous method of illumination. there is one oil in which we have full con- fdence, and that is Pratt's Astral Oil; this we can recommend in the highest terms. It not only gives a handsome light, but is really safe. We never intend to use kero. sene again. ' s' s%

Spooner went out On fly taken by Kin ney; Brink and Rogers each made his run, but Gibbs aud Stuart were put out at first, and the White Caps went to the bat with four runs to make to win. The excite ment was intense, but the South Renters proved equal to the occasion, and before the close of their inning, had added sirlee's to their score, taking the laurels amid the repeated cheers of the spectators.

 - The case of Henry Williams, who has been in jail over year on prosecution for sureties of the peace, is very remarkable one. Though apparently sane when he does not have access to intoxicating liquor, Williams conduct cannot be explained on any other theory than that of insanity. He had been guilty of occasional misconduct before the war, lon the breaking out of the rebellion he entered the old 4th Regt. and served faithfully till discharged from illness. He enlisted again in 1862 in our county regiment, was an excellent soldier, rose to be orderly of Go. A, ,and command ed during the latter part of the battle of Winchester, all the commissi oned off. cers having been disabled. Returning at the end of the war, he went to work in this office. After time he got into difficulty from threatening the life of young girl and trying to fire her fathers barn. Flo, these offences he was imprisoned for a time, but vas finally released and went tc Wlnsted. There he also got into trouble from forcing his attentions on young la. dy, returned to this place. and became forem an of the Sentinel office. Becoming intemperate in his habits he renewed his threats against the young lady and was re. qulred to give sureties of the peace. These he succeeded in procuring at first, but fo, subsequent misconduct he was surrender. ed by his bondsman, and placed in jail in the summer of 1869. Since that time he has been released three times on his prom. ise to leave the State; but he has invaria. bly, returned after few days absence and resumed his old quarters at the jail. The last experiment was tried with him last week. Money enough was raised to pay his fare to Albany. He was taken to Corn. wall Bridge. and a ticket to Albany pro. cured for him. Saturday afternoon, how. ever, he returned, and is now again in jail. Whether he went the whole distance, and then walked back on foot, as he claims, is doubtful. One thing seems certain; man who has fought for his country, and who is plainly insane, should be placed in the State Asylum at Middlstown instead of be. ing kept in perpetual confinement with the criminals of common jail.

The latest reports seem to indicate the substantial environment of Paris. The bulk of the German force is thrown on the south and west, but the railway lines to the north and east were severed on Monday and the siege has substantially commenced.

On the other hand, if the beleaguering force is SC extended as to cut off outside communica. ton, cannot the hundred and fifty thousand soldiers occupying the center of the circle beat the four hundred thousand occupying the circumference in detail The general opinion is that no long defence is possible, and an opinion to that effect, alleged to come from Gen. Sheridan, has been receiv- ed among the cable news. No foreign in- teryention has taken place and Thiers'mis- mion to England; to that end, was fail ure. M.
