REUNION OF QUAKERs.-In these DAYS of sec
tartan strife it is pleasant to state that the two
schools Of Friends in this city, known as the
SOrthodox" and "Hicksite'' Quakers, are unit
ing in their meetings for worship at the | street
meeting house. In view OF what has heretofore
been regarded by all as an irreparable separa-
ton by these two branches, this may be re-
garded as one Of the signs of the approaching
millennium. The oyertures looking towards this
reconciliation are understood TO have originated
with the latter branch Of this sect, which is by
far the most numerous in this section OF the
country. This union has awakened a new in
terest among the Quakers in the District

No MORE DISASTERS ON The PoToNAc.-To-
day, on the arrival of the steamer Lady of the
Lake at Fitzhugh's wharf, foot OF 9Th street,
acting Captain Bonneville sounded the alarm
tive bells), in order to test the efficiency Of his
Gftcers and crew, a. well as the means provided
for suppression in case of fire. Upon the signal
being given less than twenty seven seconds
elapsed before the water from the hose was
pouring through every part of the steamer, and
in thirty-two seconds al the buckle were down
and in use, life preservers distributed, sc. In
one minute from the signal for boats (th-ee
bels) the forward larboard hfe-bOat was over
the side; in one minute and twenty seconds the
two starbeard boats, and the att iarbOard boat
followed in just one minute and thirty seconds
from time of signal. All of this was accom-
plished without disorder, and satisfactorily de-
mOnstrates the thoroughness Of the system for
prevention of loss of life and property by fire
on the Lady Of the Lake. Toiprevent the quo
tatiOn of ''lOck the stable after the horse Il
stOlen," IL only is necessary to add that the
crew Of this favorite steamer have had a regu-
lar weekly drill in the service explained ever
since she made her appearance on the Po-

SCoUNDREL FoILRD-Atempt 10 Ruin a
School Girl.-This morning Officer Clements of
the 9Th precinct, while riding up from East
Washington, in one of the street cars, noticed
suspicious intimacy between a young man,
clerk in the War department, and a little girl
about fourteen years of age, daughter of re-
spectacle parents residing in that part of the
city, and determined 10 follow them. The girl
and her male friend got out at 18th street and
walked to a house of asslgnation, on G., near
18th street, and entered, and in a few moments
afterwards the officer followed, and took him
and the young girl away and conducted them to
police headquarters, where she stated that she
did not know where she was being taken: that
the man had been visiting her fathers house as
a friend, and hal been treating her as a pet,
making quite free with her, which she did not
think was wrong; that he gave her dollar this
morning and told her to ride up to the city with
him instead of going to school at the Wallach
School building, and she did 50 TO oblige him.
Her parents were sent for and soon appeared,
and were amazed on learning the facts. As no
crime had been committed no action could be
taken by the Off GERS, SO he was released by the
officers, and the girl turned over to her parents,
who will doubtless be more careful of her asso
Citations in the future. Major Richards at once
addressed note to the head Of the bureau
where the scoundrel is employed, detailing the
circumstances narrated above, and the sequel
remains to be told. He has also given orders
TO close up the house on G street. (which has OF
late become quite notorious for such customers
as the aforesaid CAV and festive clerk.

The Credit Mobilier Case.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY %, 1873

Yesterday the House of Representatives,
as stated in our telegraphic dispatches came to
a conclusion with regard to the report Of the
committee on the Credit Mobilier case. \
summary Of the votes is thus given by the
Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun
The first question was % the motion to lay
the report OF the committee on the table. Ihls
was rejected by vote of SO yeas to lo4 nays
Of the 50 affirmative votes lGwcre democrats;
The total vote, it will be seen, was 223, and
this is the largest vote ever taken IN the IA
Congress. Messr. Amcs, Garfield, Kelley,
Bingham, Brooks, Scoheld and Dawes were
present, but they rctrained from voting. aud 1t
thus appears that there were $50 memoerS /"
the House-the fullest House that has bcen
known this session The closest votes were
u:.on the motion di>charging the committee,
which was announced as lO4 yeas to II nays,
and upon substituting Mr. Sargent preamble
and resolutions for the resolutions OF the COM
mittce. The vote on this was ll5 yeas to ITO
NAYS But the excitement became intense
when the votes were taken first on the resolu-
non condemning Mr. Ames and next on the
resolution condemning Mr. Brooks. On The
frmer question Mr. Brooks voted no, aud this
was the only case in which one Of the gentlemen
iuculpatcd voted. Mr. Ames did not return
the compliment and vote no on the resou,
to condemn Mr.. Brooks Of the 81 negative
votes in Mr.. Brook case l! only were demo-
Gratis, and most ofthem voted iu that way be-
cause they doubted the jurisdiction of the
House Of the sc negative votes IN Anes 5
case IL also were democrats, and they voted
to excuse him on the same ground that they
voted to excuse Brooks. After these reSou-
tons had been adopted, it became apparent
that many members of the House on boz side;
were still anxious to censure some one elSe and
it is impossible to tell how fur this matter may
Vet run.
