THE CITY HALL.
TEE DISASTROUS FIRE IN THE THIRD
WARE

The fire in the third ward on Monday night
received much attention at the City Hall, and
the heroism of our fremen was the topic Of
conversation. If we are not mistaken 1t will
be the subject Of more than ordinary consider
alton on the part of the city administration.
AS to the destruction OF the Madison school
house, we have already satisfactory evidence
that the City Council proposes to rebuild q
splendid edifice in its place In time for the
opening Of the public schools in September
next.
THE GRAND JURY RErOBT.
At the Council meeting yesterday, as will be
seen by the official proceeding, published in
this mornings DEMOCRAT, Administrator Ed
wards made some remarks, which were or
dered spread on the minutes, relative to the
report OF the Grand Jury concerning the In
sane Asylum. Administrator Diamond asked
for the appointment OF a committee to investi-
gate the charges made by the Grand Jury
against the W0rkhouse and the House OF
Refuge, which was granted.
The Mayor, from the chair, took occasion
TO say that he was very glad to notice that
Mr.. Diamond had acted promptly In sus-
pending the officers In charge Of the institu-
tions referred to in the Grand Jury report,
and that he now, on the first opportunity,
asked for an Investigation Of the charges.
AS to the Insane Asylum, he was satisfied
that it was now in better condition that it
ever had been. All the suggestions made by
the committee Of physicians appointed to
examine into, the condition Of the asylum had
been followed as far as the city could follow
them. The Mayor supplemented his remarks
by saying that he had been called upon In the
morning by two ladies of this city who had
daughters in the Insane Asylum and who
visited them regularly, and that during q
| ftpnS ion with him had told haf ho

he was standing in the doorway of his saloon
and in the act Of turning to go inside in an

who hallooed to him that there was some one
who wanted to take a drink with him.
AS he turned he felt a slight push and
heard the words, "Now, | have got you. "
Facing about, he saw, man, about forty-five
years of age, standing on the banquette,
whom he knew by sight, but not by name.
Thinking that it was all done in joke, r..

ready for trains, last week, AID on

DEADLOCK In THE HOUSE.

The deadlock continues in the
House Of Representatives on Potter's
resolution authorizing an investiga-
ton Of the alleged frauds in Florida
and Louisiana. The Democrats re-
fuse to allow amendments, and the
Republicans refrain from voting,
leaving the House without quorum.
The Democrats must have lat men,
bers present. to constitute quorum.
and several days may yet elapse be-
fore they can collect this number.
The contest will probably result in
great public good. 1t will CONSOLE
date the Republican party and stop
the factious quarrel with the Presi-
dent, while it will so thoroughly dis
gust the country with the Democrats
that the Congressional elections next
fall will go in favor of the Republic
cans. Wednesday afternoon the Re-
publican members of the House held
a caucus, and adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolved, That the resolution now
pending 10 the House is an attempt,
in form unjustifiable and illegal, to
reopen the question of the Presiden-
tial title, a question solemnly settled
by the action of the Forty-fourth
Congress, which alone had jurisdic-
ton, and therefore revolutionary and
destructive of the good order, bust
ness prosperity and peace OF the
country.
Resolved, That the effort of the
Democratic majority to force upon
the House without an opportunity
for amendment or debate measure
of such revolutionary character,
which has not been recommended
nor considered by any of its COM
mittees but has been devised by in
dividuals for private or party ends,
should be resisted by all means
which are authorized by the rules Of
the House.
The first resolution was passed
unanimously, and the second passed,
only a few members dissenting.
