W. FRAoAs that occurred yesterday
afternoon seems to be so mysterious an
affair that 1t is difficult to get at the bot
tom of it. 1t appears that two men
named Dowd and Geary Manning had
some words about the election, and com
menced shooting. In the fray bowl
was wounded in the 81 lie and thigh, and
man named Strain was shot in the
back. Besides the principals in the
affair We learn that others participated

LONDON, February 1o.-Great eager

regard to the Alabama claims is received.
Special dispatches from New York and
Washington to the press here, and pri-
vate kilograms to business houses, are
posted on change as soon rs received, and
the bulletins are surrounded by large

In the South where Liver Complaint

storing it to its normal functions, and at
the same time be safe from after effects,
and yet 80 simple that it might be used
by any one. It is now admitted by all
that DIR. TUFTS VEGETABLE Liver

prescribed by the most eminent physi-
clans throughout the whole South.

POWER OF THE PRESIDENT TO PAR
DoN.-The New York World, of Janu-
ary. 80, says:
In an opinion delivered by the Su-
preme Court. yesterday, the Court main-
tained that the power of the President
to pardon all offenses against the Federal
Government is full and absolute, and
cannot be interfered with or obstructed
by Congress. 1t is therefore in the dis
cretion of the President to grant univer-
sal amnesty by an exercise of the par
doning power, if he chooses. If the
President were wise statesman, or even
if he were willing to reduce his noted
motto, LET us have peace" to practice,
he would pardon all who participated III
the rebellion which was crushed seven
years ago. and trust to the public senti-
i,cnt of the country to justify him. OF
course, we expect nothing of the kind
from the small-soulded, narrow-minded
Gen. Grant.
This decision then gives force and eff
feet to the "full pardon and amnesty"
proclaimed by President Johnson on the
18th of December, 1858, and there is,
therefore, no necessity for Grant par
toning anybody who participated in
our late civil war.

Kellogg didn't vote. Colfax, in casting
the deciding vote, said, that while not
concurring in all the features Of the
amendment, rs whole it met his acqui-
escence, and lie should, therefore, record
his vote in the affirmative. So the
amendment was adopted. Thus amend

Rendering Wood Fire Proof.

Editor Press and Banner-DEAR SIR
Let me add another idea to the one sug.
gested by "a" in your last issue. Those
of our resolute citizens who inted re-
building the waste places of our beauti.
full village, should study we'll all the
modern improvement; take advantage
.of every practical suggestion on the sub
-ject of making building material fire.
proof, and rebuild with the determina-
tion never again to be dependant upon
Insurance policies for safety.
Yours, B.
"The Engineering and Mining Jour
nal says: We can scarcely expect that
the building of wooden houses will here
after in all cases be forbidden by law,
and no fire-proof material has as yet
been discovered which can take the
place of wood which now enters into the
construction of both brick and stone
houses. Iron beams and columns have
proved entirely inadequate to withstand
an intense heat. They are, under such
circumstances, but little, if at all, better
than wooden ones. They twist and curl
to such an extent that in Chicago, build
ings, it is said, fell down owing to the
heat from neighboring fires. We can
however, with but little trouble and ex-
pense, render wood almost as passive
with regard to fire as brick or stone; and
we think that this precaution should be
insisted on municipal authorities.
The process to which we allude, and
on which there exists no patent, so that
any one who likes can try it, it il briefly
rs follows: The dried lumber is soaked
for short time in solution Of soluble
glass. a silicate of soda or potash, and
then immersed in bath of lime water.
In this way the siiicate of soda is decom-
posed, and a siiicate of lime formed in
the pores Of the wood. This substance
occurs in nature as mineral known as
Wollastonite, and Is both fire-proof and +
insoluble in water; so that wood once
treated in this way will never change
its qualities. Soluble glass is largely
manufactured in this country, and used
for variety Of purposes"

NARROW GAUGE CoNvENTIoN.-An
important convention, composed of all
the narrow gauge railroad companies of
the United States, is to he held in st.
Louis next June, for the purpose of dis
cussing the question whether railroads
of this description will answer the pur-
pose of roads of wider gauge, and gener-
ally of ascertaining their cost, the ex-
pense of operating them and keeping
them in repair, the relation of their
freight capacity to the demands Of the
ton as respects passenger traffic. and
what general system ought to be adopted
in their construction and management
The convention, it is said, will be attend
ed by the most eminent civil engineer:
and railroad builders of the country, anC
may perhaps result in a new departure
in its railroad history.

A SENSIBLE MAN.-General Hancock
has been interviewed by a Western
newspaper man. In the course of the
conversation, in reply to question as to
whether he had declined proposition to
run as the democratic candidate for the
Presidency, said he "neyer declined
anything before it was offered to him. -
Here the General showed his good sense.
But does he not regard the action of the
Pennsylvania Democratic Convention in
his favor an indirect mode of rendering
him the nomination, so far as the democ,
racy OF the keystone State is concerned ?
