WASHINGTON.
The Amnesty Bill.

washington, February lO.--Ihe
ieteat OF the amnesty bill in the Senate
was q great surprise to both the enemies
and advocates OF tue measure, as lis
uq.s,rc was considered certain, even
with Mr.. Summers civil rights amend
ment attached. The Republican, which
il supposed to reflect the views OF the
President, in an editorial this morning
attributes the defeat TO the desire on the
part of some Senators TO lnJure the
tiovernmcnt, and throws out a warning
10 those Senators who are friends Of the
President who are against the measure.
Senator Sumner, in conversation
this morning, said he was very much
disappointed at the failure OF the bill,
but he would not give up the fight to
secure civil rights for coIored people
He announced his purpose TO fight
amnesty at every step in the Senate,
unless it is coupled with civil rights.
lie will offer the civil rights bill against
every measure OF amnesty that Is
brought up, AMI believes that in this
r5licv lie vii be successful. Mr..
sumner regards the Presidentas hostile
to his measure, but this will not, he
saws, swerve him from the path OF duty
a. he sees it Whether the passage OF
the bill will injure or help Gen. Grants
denomination, is a matter OF no con-
sequence TO him, and he believes that
unless the Republican party extend to
colored people their civil rights 1t will
ieel the consequence at the coming
Presidential election. Already, Mr.
Sumner saws, he is receiving letters from
colored people all over the United
States saving that they will not support
Gen. Grant if he is nominated because
be does not advocate the measure
giving them civil rights. Mr.. Sumner
says that Mr.. CoIfax, by giving his cast
ing vote in the Senate in favor OF his
proposition, has enforced his popularity
with colored people, and that if he
had voted otherwise he would have
been unpopular everywhere.
ADOItttOn OI "tHSE"t
System.
1t is believed at the Treasury Depart
mert that an order will be issued early
next week abolishing the general order
system Of the New York Custom House,
Ever since the report made by Senator
Patterson regulating the Investigations
made by the Retrenchment committee
on the general order business, the
Treasury officers have favored the
abolishment of the system, but owing
10 political influence, it could never
be carried out 1t is stated at the
department that the Investigation COM
mittee which has just finished its labors
in New York, have not brought to
light any facts not already know here,
but it substantiate5 all the charges
made by Mr.. Patterson in his report
made about one year ago.

New YORK, February 1.-THE fol-
lowing is a special dispatch to the New
York Times:
SCRANTON, February lO.-Atout 10
o'clock yesterday morning a disastrous
fire occurred at Providence, First ward
of this city, by which two lives were
lost. The flames spread so rapidly that
il was with the utmost difficulty that
the inmates OF the dwelling made their
escape Ia fact in the midst Of the
confusion it was not discovered until it
was too late that two persons, a young
girl and a little boy, were still in the
building. One portion OF the house
was occupied by Mr.. Thomas, and the
other by a widow, Mrs. Thomas. In
the latter was Mrs. Thomas, her two
daughters and two sons, comprising a
family that had lately arrived from
Wales. One bed was occupied by
the two young girls, one Of whom
escaped, leaving her sister, a Young
woman aged q, asleep. Another bed
was occupied by the boys, one of whom
escaped leaving the other, a lad of y
years, unconscious OF danger. 1t was
not until the building had nearly fallen
that the awful fact that these persons
had perishel became known, when the
mostintense excitement prevailed among
the large crowd assembled, and the
deepest anguish was expressed by those
to whom the lost ones were dear. The
fire originated among some mining
clothes that were hung by the stove TO
dry, and before it was discovered, had
proceeded too far to be extinguished BY
the scauty supply Of water in tha.
locality, aad although the firemen were
soon on the spot, they could render
but little assistance, even in removing
the furniture.
