must lie. y And il was equally certain that
as competent parties contracted, 80 they
must abide by such contracts. and Congress
had no power to interfere. In his opinion
the bin OF the Judiciary Committee pro-
posed to change the rights aud liabilities OF
the parties to this contract, and that with
out any allegation OF fraud or default on
their part. It was broad assertion that
Congress, by its power alone, could change
q contract.
Dir. Thurman, o; Ohio, said the Senator
from Georgia had INDUCED in some very
sweeping denunciations Of the bill OF the
Judiciary Committee-so sweeping that, II
true and well founded, the first duty Of the
Senate would be to disband the Judiciary
Committee. II the assertions OF the Senator
from Georgia were true, the members Of
the Judiciary Committee were either idiots
or villains; but he did not think they were
either.
The consular and diplomatic bill was
passed, and goes to the House for concur

Mr.. FELTON,, from the Committee on Com

prevent the introduction OF contagious dis

After some discussion the bill was passed.

4 fire broke out in the large !unk-store
Of Messrs. Armstrong, Stein u Co., on
Bo,Iingbrook street. last night about Ii
O'Clock. The building was pretty thor
oughly Quilted, and large STOCK OF rags,
wool. hides. fruit, and metals was destroy
ed or damaged. The stock was insured IN
the Virginia Fire and Marine Company,
OF Richmond. for $1,000, which will
hardly cover one third OF the loss.
The fire was the work OF an incen-
diary, who by some means gained an
entrance 10 the store and set tire to 1t
in two places. He was seen to leave the
pswsa& lust before the alarm OF fire was
given, but made his escape before he cou!d
be recognized or captured. Several adJa-
cent buildings were slightly damagedsby
the fire. They are, believe, insured in
the Mutual Company, OF Richmond. The
families living over the store OF Armstrong.
Stein q Co. narrowly escaped, and were
enabled to save but little OF their furniture,
on which there is no insurance.

XLVTH CONGRESS--Second Session
WASHINGTON, March q, 1878.



SENATE.
Mr. Hill made strong speech on the
funding bill for the Union and Central Pa
cffc railroads. Illustrative of the character
of his argument, the opening phrases are
telegraphed.
Mr.. Hill said the Senate had before it two
bills. each proposing to establish a sinking
fund, the better to secure the repayment Of
a loan made by, the United States to the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific Railroad
companies. The comparative merits Of the
two bills, as sinking-fund measures, he had
not yet considered and would not discuss,
