BREAKING UP OF THE ICE.

CINCINNATI, January 15.-The pres.
ent break up of the ice in the river has
been the most disastrous on record, not
only at this place but at almost every
point between here and Pittsburgh. The
lowest estimate OF the damage here is
s25o.0OO, the highest 100000 The
severest losses seem. at this wiring, to
be with the coal dealers. There were Is
lna,'ed and $50 empty harges sunk. or
carried away from the landing at this
place. Most of those not actually sunk
have been left in such condition ,ha,
nothing can he tlorc for them, and they
will he eventually lost. II is not Ger.
tainly known whether there was any
loss of lie attending the break up al
this point, though a number of barges
that were swept away had men on board,
who have not since been heard from =
Two boats, half barge and half cottage,
which were used as family habitalions
were carried away. A father and sor
who were on one them escaped to the
shore. and the rest were eventually res
cued at points below the city. When
the wreck of the steamer Calumet wa:
swept away, Capt DUNCAN and the mates
were aboard, but made their escape by
jumping on the Golden City. when the
wreck reached that steamer.

WASHINGTON, D, C, Jan. II, 1877. +
The Committees of Seven of the two
Houses on the Electoral Count reached
an agreement day, and will report the
same TO both Houses tomorrow. It
will be presented in the furm of bill,
the main points Of which are as fol-
lows:
|. The President of the Senate is ac,
corded no power except the equivocal
one Of opening and announcing the re-
suit after it shall be handed to him.
2. All disputed cases shall be referred
to q tribunal, which shall consist Of five
members of the Senate, to be appointed
by the President of the Senate; five
members of The House, to be appointed
by the Speaker of the House: and five
Justices of the Supreme Court, four OF
whom shall be the four longest in SER
vice, and the 9th shall be selected by
them. e @ aa s7el
8. The vote of any State may be
thrown out by tue concurrent vote of
the two Houses, even though the Tribu.
nal may have reported in favor of coun
ting it in.
From the start Morton has displayed
a lack of inclination to agree to any
thing, which betokened no good. Even
now he alone, of all the members of the
two Committees, has not yet agreed tn
the report although it is hoped that he
will to morrow, through dI,inclinalion
to he beaten. if for no other reason-
While Jack L ,eaa was on the Commit
tee he showed determination to ago
/ with Morton against agreement and in
favor of confusion His departure and
the addition of Conkling was a great
gain. Conkling has shown realizing
sense of the gravity. Of the, situation
from the start, and has carried Freling-
/ huysen with him, albeit the latter has
acquesced only half.heartedly The &C
tion of the Republican members of the
House Committee is praised by the
Democrats, who say that Hoar especial
| ly has shown spirit of fairness mosl
commendab!e. 59a7H1 te
The members OF the Committee are
generally confident that the bill will be
passed by both Houses. B,yard and
Hewitt are particularly sanguine. They
say that it leaves it absolutely uncertain
which man will be declared to have beer
elected, or whether either candidate hal
received majority of the Electora
votes, and that any bill which did no

From the Wheeling Register, 18th inst1
Sundays Cincinnati Enquirer gives the
following account of the condition ofthe
two Wheeling steamers sunk atthat place
by the ice:
"The work of building bulkheads on
the Calumet was progressing favorably,
and it was expected to bring the Cham
pion No.. alongside last night, when it
was thought she could be raised in few
hours If the ice above did not otinterfere.
The Andes was in the same position.
She is listed to starboard with the water
in the. after cabin. The break is avery
bad one, extending from the after hatch
to the stern. Itis about 2 feet wide and
40long.s All the freight which, could be
reached was removed yesterday. The
work of getting ready to pump her QUITS
progressing, and, if the ice holds off long
enough, may be raised. z.aa
"Both the above boats are in great
danger of being cut down by the mex
move" apotJ ,fifs rs '.s3E sit

insured, the Calumet for S17, 900. and the
