About a year ago a great outcry was made by
the Boston press over the alleged inhumanity of
sending back to Europe a young woman with an ille
gitimate child, who had become a charge upon tho
public. She was brought back to this country free
of expense by Messrs. Train A Co., and the general
impression created that great injustice had been
done in treating her as a pauper. It appears that she
is again in tho Almshouse, and will shortly again bo
returned to Ireland.
The Delaware river at Philadelphia 1s fipozon so
firmly that booths for the sale of refreshments to
skaters and others have been erected on it. Tho
Bulletin says: The constant plying to and fro of the
ferry boats, opposite the centre of the city, has kept
the ice broken up there, but above and below it is
pi-rfoetly tight. Some of tho channels that were
broken up the river by the tug American, were fro
/.k i\ over within twenty-four hours afterward eufli
ciently strong to permit pedestrians to cross them.
A young woman was arrested last week, in St.
Louis, far going to a ball in masculine attire, and

for appearing in female attire. The magistrate did
not consider the Cases were parallel.

Westers Game.-—A great slaughter ot wild
game, ooimam and fowl, has token place at the W est
since the cold weather set in, allowing of its trans
portation to distant point*.
The Milwaukee Sentinel says: “Few readers can
have any idea of the enormous quantities of game
sent East, from Wisconsin and Illinois, during tue
c«»kl weather. A sow day* ago, two hundred Ljxcs
of quail, averaging prooably 100 to a box. were
•flipped from Janesville direct for New Tbrk, and

Tho effert of this is not only to diminish very rapidly
tho quantity of gamo in our State, but greatly to
enhance the price.’’
Tha Paw Paw dfich.) Free Prees, of the 11th

A strange suicide was committed in the city of
Leeds, England, recently, by a man in the prime of
life, whose appearance betokened poverty and
misery. He went into an inn, took a pipe, and
after sitting moodily by the fire for tea minutes, put
tho end of a poker into tho stove. When, it became
red hot ho took It out and deliberately put the hot
end down his ,ihroat. Tho persons present caught
bold of him and seized the poker, but not until ho
had burned his throat and mouth so badly as to
cause his vbsoqaent death.
Extraordi.vart Nkidli Cash. —Westchester
(Pa.) Examiner says i
We published a few week* ago an article relating
to a young woman about 19 years of age in War
wick township. Chester comity, who has 15 needles
extracted from her foot. Marvellous as this circum
stance was regarded at the time, the truth has not
all been told. Since the first needles were removed,
twenty-five more have been extracted from the
same foot, and one surgeon who operated, informs
us that he thinks there are some ten or fifteen more
yet iuil>edded in the fi»ot. Dr. Heck el informs
us that the needles lie in and around the instep, and
tliat the points having worked to the surface, they
are easily extracted bv forceps. In some instance
an incision was made, ana the needles removed.
Tlie limb does not appear very sensible to pain.—
The young woman alleges that some ten years ago
she jumped or stepped on a needle cushion, and
that the needles entered her foot and have since re
mained there causing no pain until recently.
A Blatx Trader im Chi*a.—Tlie Friend of
China, receives! by the last steamer, says :
Very few coasting vessels ever leave Shanghae or
Ningpo without an assorted lot of boys thrown in to
make up the cargo. Tho traflic in girls is still more
general, in consequence of the prevalence of infan
ticide, which countenances the murder of female in
fants as soon as they nrn bora. We hear of one
hundred girls ready for shipment at one place, far
the segar factory at Manilla, and an order for two
thousand girls for Cuba has lately been received.
Boys can be sold at profit far $3 to $3.75, and girls
os low as a shilling to 25 cents a head.
M ixsrsoTA. —Governor Gorman, in his late Mes
sage to the Minnesota Legislature, estimates the
population of tlie Territory at 75,000. Ho announces
that the President has given him notice that the
three tribes es Indians now residing in the Territory
cannot be disturbed and sent further West. All the
tribes are peaceable and friendly. Nearly every
village in the Territory has a school for the educa
tion of BinaUchildren,andtheoollegos and seminaries
of learning in St. Paul are In a flourishing condition.
The Territorial University, located at St. Anthony,
has not progressed since last year for want of funds.
Twenty thousand acres of land, partly agricultural
and partly pine, havo been chosen for school purpo
ses already. The Governor suggests tho necessity
of n Government road from Lake Saperior to tho
Mississippi, above St. Anthony, and of a military
road to reach Fort Ridgcly, tho Sioux agency, and
the new fort at Pembina, from soineg>oint below
Lake Pepin.
Mississippi River. —The Vicksburg Sentinel of
the 17th January, says i “The river opposite our
city was full of floating Ice yesterday: This has not
been tho case during any winter far many years
past, and it gives evidence of the extreme cold wea
ther, which has had the effect of closing all the upper
rivers. No boats havo passed down witliin the lost
few days from any point above Cairo, and the pros
pect is not encouraging far the opening ot naviga
tion for some timo hence.”
Tho Missouri river is frozen over to the depth of
throe and a half foot at Bt. Louis. Tho Mirror of
that city says t
“On the Illinois side, but some considerable dis
tance from tho shore, were pitched several canvas
tents, at the entrance of which were placed boys,
hollooing out, ‘hot coffee,’ ‘hot whiskey punches,’
‘Toniand Jorry,’ ‘whiskey slings,’ Ac. Some ofthe
‘fancy,’ too, and sporting characters had their faro
and roulette tables in full blast. At tho end of tho
lee road at. the other sid* is placed a large board,
with the inscription, in monster letters, ‘Mississippi
avenue.’ This was th* great centre of attraction,
as in this immediate locality everything was to bo
found to stimulate and heat tho ‘inner man/ Thou
sands of skaters might be seen gliding in every di
rection over the icy surface. Boys and girls, young
ladies and their loving swains, old men and their
better halves, negroes of all variety of shade, from
tlie pure African Jet to tlie light brown, swelled the
immense gathering, and completely covered the
river opposite the city. Sets were formed on the
ice, and dancing kept tip until a late horn- at night.”
The Execution or JosErn T. Williams. —A
correspondent from Roxboro’, N. C., on Wednes
day, gave a brief account of the execution of Jo
seph T. Williams, at that place, on Friday, for the
murder of his father, a wealthy gentleman, for.
merly of Pittsylvania oounty, Va. The Milton (N.
C.) Chronicle has the following notice of tlie exe
cution :
On the day of his execution, ho called a friend or
two in jail, aud besought them to join him in
prayer, until the last moment of his earthly exist
ence; he sent out a supplication far the prayers of
tho vast multitude then and there assembled. The
hour arriving for his execution, the sheriff, with
a bleeding heart and tear-moistened eye, called for
'Faking Mr. Wm. Lyon (his fathers friend and
neighbor) by the hand and begging him, to go with
him and pray for him, he proceeded to the gallows,
praying all the way until he arrived in sight of the
gallows, when he trembled like a leaf, ho gave vent
to an expression of feeling that no pen can describe
and which touched the most callous heart. Arriving
ift the gallows he sued for the last moment, and
begged every Christian on th* ground to pray lor
him. .
It was here that the Sheriff road him a brief note,
reminding him of future rewards and punishments
—of the awfulness of dying with aHe on his lips
and invoking him to say while he looked eternity in
the face, whether he was guilty or innocent of tho
murder. He replied that “he had said all that he
hnd to say about it—he was not guilty!” So the
irisonor protested his Innocence to the last moment
Mounting the •caffold and “forgiving every body,”
at 15 minutes past 12 o'clock, William’s soul was
launced into eternity.
Fires in New Yore. —Mr. Alfred E. Baker, the
Fire Marshall of New York, has just pubUshcd his
third Annual Report. It embraces tho period be
tween tlie 31st of May and tho Ist of December,
1855. During that time fourteen arrests were made
for arson. The tables show that fifty-two fires were
traced to acts of incendiarism. The aggregate ex
hibits a decrease of sixteen fires, in comparison with
tho corresponding six months of 1854, also a diminu
tion in the loss of nearly one-half, namely, $237.,037.
The Marshal has introduced an additional column,
exhibiting the amounts paid by insurance companies
in the settlement of losses. Under this head, for tlie
last six months, thero appears to have been paid
$160,350, or a little over two-thirds of the alleged
losses. This is attributable, in a measure, to a part
of the lessee not being fully covered by insurance,
and partly to insured parties claiming a larger
amount of loss than was allowed by tho underwri
ters. The report contains some interesting sugges
tions in reference to the construction of buildings,
and denounces tho new and peculiar dwellings, call
ed “ tenements.” Incendiarism had decreased, but
some remarkable coses had occurred to which the
Marshall makes special reference.
Prcssias Statistics.—According to the rocont
Prussian tho entire population of that mo
narchy is 17,17?,031 souls. A remarkable decrease
is shown in tho number of emigrants for the year
|nst closed, compared with the preceding year; but
7.434 Prussians emigrated byway of Antwerp in
1865, whilst in 1?54 the number was 25,843. Within
the last year, too, many disappointed emigrants to
America hare returned to their old homes—no less
than eighteen arrived at the frontier town of Her
beethal, near Aix-la-Chapolle, in the last week of
Debember, eight of whom, however, were not al
lowed to enter the Prussian territory, on account of
what President Pierco would designate as “irregu
larities' in their papers. The most thickly populated
portion of Prussia is the District of Dusseldorf, em
bracing upon an area of 98.30 German square miles,
999,324 inhabitants, or 10,106 per square mile.
Fencing i* Railroads.—A bill is before the
Pennsylvania House of Delegates, and it is thought
will pass that body, which provides that the Rail
road Companies of that State shall, within nine
mouths, erect good and sufficient fences along their
roads wherever necessary to the protection of
private property and tho prevention of accidents,
together with snob cattle-guards and other erections
as are required in connection with such fences, and
upon default of the company to erect such fences.
Ac., it shall pay trebly damages for any injury to
person or property occasioned by such default.
Oi'R Trade with England.—lt appears, from
an official report just published in England that the
number of American vessels that entered British
ports, inward bound, during the month of October.
1853, was 75, the tonnage of which amounted to
62.059 tons; during the same month in 1854—ves
e« s TO, tonnage 65,293 and during the same month
in 1855—vessels 106. tonnage 106.146. Those out
ward bound were, during October, 1853, 85, having
a tonnage of 70,039: in 1854—vessels 75, tonnage
68,266; and in 1855—vessels 132, tonnage 121,337.
The amount of tonnage inward bound for the ten
months ending October 31, 1866. was 1.004,350 tons,
and the amount of that outward bound was
2,069.253 tons.
The correspondent of the New York Tribune states
that in one portion of that city there are no less than
sour‘ bogus Sunday Schools,” with a large number
of collectors, who raise from (1,000 to (5.000 per an
num “ to carry on the operations of the schools, and
the other ninety to support a set of laay hangers-on. - ,
Some of these “ religious operators are the veriest
scoundrels in the world.”
Sad Accident oh the Dblawarx —The carni
val scene on the Delaware river, at Philadelphia,

containing a gentleman and four ladies broke through

Tim Bar of Richmond county have heard, with
deep regret, of the depth of the Non. John Mac

only in seniority, but in legal reputation. He has
left behind him what few men over leave—the
memory of a brilliant career of more than half a
century, during the whole of which he was among
the foremost, and for most of which, he was con
fessedly the very firet, among hid brethren, and be
sides his high rank* at the bar. a spotless private
character, and a position among the nrst statesmen
of the land, cause his loss to be deeply felt, not only
by the society of which he was the ornament, and
the profession of which ho was the pride, but by
the Suite, and the nation, to whose welfare ho was
devoted.
Wo claim the privilege of adding our tribute of
respect, for his memory, to those already paid, in the
city of his residence, and by the Legislature of the
State, to which lie was so long an honor. There

More Snow. —The Richmond Dispatch of Mon
day 4th inst. says : According to tho fashion estab
lished this winter, yesterday morning when our citi
Etna opened their eyes, they found it snowing. Thus
has it been for five successive Sundays ! Yesterday,
however, it was evident from the few feathers, and
the short time they fell, that there were not many
more geoso for the old woman to pick. The ground
wa« not fully covered before tho flakes censed to
fall. From this fceblo effort of a snow, we lake it
that it is about the last
Dentil of tlic Hon. A. J. .Miller.
A dispatch, received last evening from Augusta,
brought to us the unwelcome intelligence that the
Hon. Andrew J. Miller is no mote. He died of
Pnuemonia, at his residence in that city, yesterday
morning at half-past S o'clock.
We had not heard of the illness of Mr. Miller, con
sequently tho announcement of his death will prove
a painful surprise to his numerous friends through
out the State, while the sincere regret for such an
event will bo confined to no locality or party. Mr.
Miller was one of those sterling, upright inen, whose
services as a citizen and a patriot the State cannot j
afford to lose. For many years he had been at the
head of the bar in the Augusta circuit. As an ad
vocate he was earnest ami impressive, seeking to
cany his points by the force of truth and his own
abiding confidence in its triumphs, rather than by
the arts of sophistry and the ingenious technical
tricks too common in so noble a profession. Studi
ous and learned, his opinions were highly respected
both by the Bench and the Bar. As a business man,
in integrity, perseverance and punctuality, he had no
superiors.
For a long series of years, Mr. Miller had represen
ted the countv of Richmond in the State Legislature,
where his abilities, experience and usefulness were
so well known and recognized, that his political foes
never failed to greet him with a cordial welcome at
the doors of the Capitol. For several years he was
the presiding officer of the Senate, and discharged
tho duties of that responsible post with a fidelity tnat
secured the respect and approval alike of friend and
opponent. 11c was a member of that body at the
time of his death, and we suppose had been railed
home to attend the Superior Court now in session in
Augusta.
We have neither time nor room to extend these
hasty comments upon the death of a good and use
ful citizen, and shall leave to others a fuller record
of his virtues and his acts. — Savh. Jlcp., of Monday

THIRTY-FOURTH CONGRESS—Ist Session.
IN SENATE. Jan. 31.
Th* Senate met again to-dav pursuant to adjourn
ment, and on motion of Mr. Fitzpatrick, proceeded
to the election of Senate Printer. The first ballot
stood : Nicholson. 24: Beverly Tucker, 8 ; Gales
A Seaton, 2 ; scattering, 19.
Three additional ballots were taken for printer.—
On tho last, 52 votes were cast, (neceasary to a
ehoioo of which Mr. Nicholson received 29 ; Mr.
Tusker 8; Mr. Alexander I ; Messrs. Gale A Sea
ton 2; Mr. Blanchard 4; Mr. Walerson 4 ; Mr. Hay
den 2: Mr. Wendatt 1, and one blank. Mr. Nichol
son was accordingly declared elected Printer.
Mr Seward then ad«lresatxl the Senate on the
subject of Central American affairs. He reeivod
the history and geographical relation of that Terri
tory at the mouth of the river San Juan, known a.«
the' Mosquito Territory, and conjured the Senate to
hull last to tiie Clayton and Bulwor treaty ; and to
insist that Great Britain shall ceaso to violate its
stipulations. He took the ground that the positions
wliich Lad been assumed by the President were cor
rect, and ought to be maintained by tho country—no
matter at what oast. Wo could not, he said, recede
without national dishonor, and that was not to be
thought of. The language of the treaty was too
plain to be misunderstood: and the British Govern
ment had resorted to m iserable perversions in order
to evade its requirement.
The Senate adjourned till Mopday.
HOUSE.
Mr. Cox offered a preamble proposing, In a true
spirit of patriotism, to waive some political princi
m«*s, in order to the election of Speaker, the mem
bers reserving their right to insist on them practically
hereafter, and concluding with a resolution that all
who thus agree, will first vote for Mr. Orr, and if he
be not elected, then vote for Mr. Fuller,
of Pa. Ho wanted ail conservative men to unite in
this arrangement with the resolution heroin con
tained.
Mr. Clingman explained his reasons for offering
his plurality resolutions vest onlay. He said that
nothing was further from Lis purpose than tho elec
tion of Mr. Banks; but ho desired that National
Americans, who stand on the 12th section of the
Philadelphia platform as the comer stone of their
parry, to. as imtriots, let the axe fall on Mr. Banks.
Mr. 11. Marshall replied that his friend could
never procure a satisfactory response from the
Democrats regarding: the measures which they
advocate, and he denied that they had a right to
drive the Americans to the wall, forcing them to a
choice between Messrs. Banks and Orr.
Mr. Cox sai«l he would vote for any man who
maintain the constitutional guarantees and tho
rights reserved. No party ties should in tills pecu
liar condition of affaire, prevent him from discharg
ing his duty to the country. Pursuing the course
indicated by Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, tke House could
never organize.
Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, remarked that as he was
determined not to vote for Mr. Fuller in cose Mr.
Orr could not be elected, he would be acting iu bad
faith were he t* favor tho resolution, lie would
act irrespective of all combinations.
Mr. Bocock opposed the resolution fearing that
some of the Fuller men would refuse to vote for Mr.
OIT.
Mr. Lindley said he never could vote for the
Democratic caucus nominee with the platform an
nexed.
Mr. Cox’s resolution was finally rejected—yeas
30, nays 176.
Mr. Hickman offered a resolution providing for
the election of a Speaker by a plurality vete. A mo
tion to lay it on tho table failed by a vote of yeas 107,
nays 108.
Mr. Trippo snbmited a substitute declaring the
Hon. William Smith, of Virginia Speaker. Ho said
that his resolution presented to the Democrats this
question:—Will you adopt the plurality rule which
will elect Mr. Banks, of hia proposition, which will se
lect one who has been voting for Mr. Richardson and
Mr. Orr, ar.d who is a Democrat He (Mr. Trippe)
never would vote for the nominee of the Democratic
caucus. He intended to assert the right as an Amo
rican, to vote for whom he pleased.
Mr. Barksdale moved that tho whole subject be
laid on the table: but the motion was disagreed to—
yeas 84, nays 132.
The main question was then ordered on agreeing
to the substitute of Mr. Trippe, declaring Hon. Wil
liam Smith, of Virginia, speaker, and it was rejected
—yeas 100, nays 110.
Mr. Hickman's resolution was not acted upon, and
tlio House at 4 o'clock adjourned.

The Senate was not in session to-day.
HOUSE.
On the House being called to order, the question
recurred on the adoption of the resolution offered by
Mr. Hickman yesterday, for the election of Speaker
by the plurality vote. A motion was made to table
the resolution but the House refused to do so by 1
majority.
The resolution wae then rejected by two majority.
The vote stood—yeas 108, nays 110.
Mi’. Jones, of Tennessee “aa the olive branch
of peace,” offered a resolution that Mr. Oliver of
Missouri, bo chosen Speaker. Tabled by 15 majo
rity.
Mr. Letcher offered a resolution that Messrs.
Banks, Orr, and Fuller be appointed to confer to
gethor and report to-morrow morning tho name of
some member on whom they, or a majority of them
shall agree, who shall be Speaker. Mr. Letcher
said that various ineffectual attempts had been
made, proving it impossible to elect a Spoakcr by a
direct vote. If his expident secure the result it will
carry ioy throughout the country, and show people
that Heaven’s first law, order reigns in Washington.
On motion ot Mr. Morgan the resolution wae laid
on the table—yeas 120, nays 94.
Mr. Lindley offered a resolution declaring Gol
christ Porter, of Mo., Speaker. Ho said ho had pre
sented a nmn objectionable to any party. He was
not one of the Know Nothings, so much hated, nor
one of the Democrats, who are not liked by others;
nor was he in the least tainted with Republicanism.
I Laughter.] He was an old fashioned Whig and every
body seemed to admire the gallant old Whig party
now that it was dead. [Renewed laughter!) And
surely if he had no party he could do nobody harm ;
ami it wae not bo requisite to have a Speaker to do
good as one who would do no harm. If gentlemen
were anxious to organize they could now do so by
the election of a gentleman without objection.
Mr. Sage moved that the resolution be laid on tho
table, and the motion was agreed to—yeas, 144 ;
nays 60.
Mr. Ball offered a resolution declaring Nathaniel
B. Banks elected Speaker of tho House. This was
rejected—yeas 102; nays 115.
Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, after a few preparatory
remarks offered a resolution declaring William
Aiken, of South Carolina, Speaker of tho House.
Mr. Washburn© of Illinois, moved that the resolu
tion to be laid on £lio table , but tho motion did not
prevail—yens 98; nays 117.
The resolution was then rejected—yoaa 103 ; nays
The House then adjourned.
Washington, Feb. I.—ln the House this afternoon
on the resolnlion declaring Mr. Banks Speaker,
Messrs. Dunn, Moore, Harrison and Haven voted ns
heretofore, against him. On the resolution declaring
Mr. A ikon Spoakcr there was a union of Democrats
and Americans; Messrs. Barclay and Hickman
Democrats, and Mr. Cuilon, American, voted in the
negative, and Messrs. Williams and Wheeler in the
affirmative.
Mr. Aiken having received one more vote than
Mr. Banks on the direct question, though a larger
number voted on tho propositions to elect him, than
on the proposition to elect Mr. Aiken, the friends of

Or Saturday, the House met at 12 o’clock, M.,
and after prayer by the Iter. Dr. Cummins, tho ]
Clerk stated that the first business in order was the L
resolution submitted by the gentleman from Ken
tucky, j Mr. Talbott,] as follows: (
Resolved, That the non. Alexander 11. Stephens
be, and be is lierohy, declared Speaker of tha House \
of Representatives for the 34fh Congress. (
Mr. Talbott arose and stated, that at the request
of Mr. Stephens, he withdrew the resolution.
Mr. Smith, of Tennesse, stated that he had hereto-
fore voted against the plurality rule; but the vote <
of yesterday indicating that there was at least the
chance of the election of a man of sound national ]
principles under its operat ion, lie therefore offered j
tho following resolution, and called for the previous
question: . \
Resolved, That the House will proceed immediate- j
ly to the election of a Speaker viva voce ; and if after j
tho roll shall have been called three times, no mem- \
ber shall have received a majority of the whole num
ber of votes, the roll shall again be called, and the
member who shall then receive the largest number
of votes, provided that it be a m?yority of a quorum, ■
shall ho duly declared Speaker of the House of
Representatives of the 34th Congress. j
Mr. Goode, of Virginia, moved to lay the reso
lution on the table; which motion was not agreed to
—yeas 104, nays 114.
The question waa then taken on tho resolution,
and it was adopted —yeas 113, nays 104. [The an
nounccment of tho result was greeted with applause
in the galleries.]
Mr. Orr, of South Carolina, said that his name (
had been put in nomination some two weeks ago by
the democratic party for the speakership, and though
very many ballots had taken place since that time,
and although the members of that party supposed
that by changing their nominee they might increase
and strengthen them, yet the result had shown that
they were mistaken in the conclusion to which they
arrived. The complimentary vote given yesterday
to bis colleague, [Mr. Aiken.J rendered it very evi
dent to his mind that that gentleman would be able to
concentrate a greater strength than himself, and na
he desired to see the House organized upon national
principles, and in opposition to sectionlism, he took
occasion, after returning his thanks to his party
friends for their fidelity and confidence in nomina
ting and sustaining him, to withdraw, unconditional
ly his name from tne contest.
Mr. Boyce, of South Carolina, moved to rocind
the resolution just adopted.
Mr. Smith, of Tennessee, moved to lay that mo
tion on the table, which was agreed to—yens 117,
nays 101.
{Applause in the galleries.]
Cries of “ Cali the rolL”
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, moved an adjournment
of the House, in order to give members an opportu
nity to confer, that they might cast their votes under
standingly in the great crisis which they were now
approaching. The motion was not agreed to—yeas
84, noes 133.
[Applause in the galleries.]
Cries of “Call the roll.”
Mr. Walker, of Alabama, moved, to rescind the
plurality resolution.
Mr. Clingman raised the point that the motion
was not in order, it having been decided once already
during the day. . _
The Clerk thought that the motion waste order,
but submitted the question to the House, and it was
decided that it was not in orde —yeas 83 nays,
128.
Mr. Paine, of North Carolina, moved that the
House do now adjourn; which motion was not
agreed to. [Applause in the galleries.]
Mr. Orr said that if the House was to be annoyed
by continued applause he would have to move that
the galleries be cleared. He did not allude to the
ladies’gallery. (Laughter.)
(Cries of “Call the roll.”)
The House then proceeded to vote for Speaker, it
being the first under the plurality rule.
The Clerk called th« roll the one hundred and
thirtieth time, with the following result:
Whole number of votes, 215; necessary to a choice
108 ; of these—
Mr. Banks received 102

L. D. Campbell 4
Wells
Mr. Richardson, of Illinois, gave notice that he
had paired off with Mr. Emrie, otherwise he would
have voted for Mr. Aiken. .
Mr. Fulk-r. of Pennsylvania desired to repeat what
he had said upon two former occasions, that he was
not and did not desire to be a candidate. [Ap
plause ] One hundred and thirty ballots would have
satisfied him tkat he was not the choice of a majori
ty of the body, and upon no other terms, upon no
other conditions, would he consent to take that po
sition. He again returned his acknowledgments to
th*- gentlemen who had honored him with their sup
port, and he requested them to cost their suffrages
lor a better and abler man.
Two more ballots were taken without changing
the result, and then came the vote under the plurali
ty resolution which resulted as follows i

Tfat- Clerk appointed Messrs. H. M. Fuller Ai

the Chair.
Mr. Banks, on taking the Chair, acknowledged the
honor done him, in a brief and neat speech.
The usual oath of office was then administered to
him by Mr Giddings.
Afb-r a vote of thanks to Mr. Forney, the House

The Washington Union of yesterday says :
The result was. as we have’stated, the election of

Thr War. —The grand news of the week is that
Russia agrees to negotiate cm tho terms pdbpfaed by
tho Allies.
The first announcement wns made from Vienna
by Telegraph to the London Times in the following
words:
“Russia accepts the Allied propositions uncondi
tionally. This is authentic.”
This despatch caused an immense sensation. The
funds rose three percent., and Cotton oue-faithing.
Iu the other markets a panic reigned.
Next day die Government published a dispatch
from Minister Seymour at Vienna as follows .•
* 44 Russia agrees to accept the Allied pro{H*sals as
tho basis of negotiations."
This qualified announcement curbed the excite
ment, and alarmist begin to fear that Russia merely
seeks to gain time by deceptive negotiations. Mean
time funds remain steady. Previews to the above
announcement, the Vienna papers represented the
state of affaire as most si rious, imex]*ecicd, and
alarming, and that all the personnel of the Austrian
Embassy had received orders to quit St. Petersburg,
and the Rusriau Embassy was ordered to leave Vien
na.
The actual circumstances were that when Count
Estcrhazy handed to Count Nesselrode at St. P< ters
burgh, the Autfirian-ullicd note of December 2d, ho
said that he was not authorized to enter into a dis
cussion, but if the note was not accepted uncondi
tionally, before January lSth. he and nil the Aus
trian embassy muss leave St. Petersburg. To pre
vent this Count Nesselrode communicated with
Vienna direct, and January 11th Prince Gorteclm
koffhad a talk with Count Buol, in which Gortsoha
koff produced a memoradum expressing a general
inclination on the part of Russia to negotiate, but
proposed certain alterations in the programme.
Count Buol formally received the document next
day, Friday the 12th; but iimjimich us it did not
contain an acceptance, pure and simple, of the
propositions, Austria could make no reply without
tli© concurrence of Fraucc and England. The am
bassadors of those powers accordingly sent tv* Palis
and London, and received for reply that the West
ern Powers had no motive to give up a decision
which had already boon carefully considered, and
further thatj if by January IStli, Russia did not ac
cept the ultimatum, Count Esterhazy and the Aus
trian Legation would leave St. Petersburg, and Aus
tria would immediately seek to obtain the armed co
operation of the Germanic Diet against Russia.—
During the week that elapsed between Russia's first
and second reply, intense apprehension cdtistedin Vi
enna, though without sufficient cause, for the Austrian
Cabinet had taken the precaution to notify the Wes
tern Powers that notwithstanding the rupture of
diplomatic relations, Austria would not be in a posi
tion to commence hostilities this year. Gu the 16th
all apprehensions were set at rest by tho announce
ment above stated, that Russia agrees to negotiate
on the terms proposed.
There is very little other news.
From the Crimea there is nothing important. Nu
merous ambuscades of Cossacks were distributed
around the allied camp, but vigilance prevented

Admiral Lyons and General Canroberl are the

cussion relating to the withdrawal of the allied force
from the Crimea, retaining only Kamiesch, Eitpato

six months to remove the material of tho past cam

had already embarked for there. Omar Pacha had
tendered his resignation, but the Sultan refused to
accent it, Omar was in disgrace at Constantinople.
Not long since the official commissioner for widows
and orphans applied to attack Omar’s nroperty in
Constantinople for the behalf of Ills children by his
first wife. In compliment to Omar the attachment
was not permitted, but since the fall of Kars the
commissioner has taken the property. The Turkish
Government has published the account of the fall of
Kars tending to throw the entire responsibility on
Omar. He sent Col Simmons to defend him at
Constantinople, but Simmons finding himself sup
planted there, left for England. Omar blames the
Turkish Ministry, and especially Riza Pacha, for
withdrawing supplies.

and aversion.’’
There is now existing a very strong sentiment
which ripens at the termination of hostilities before
we had an opportunity of putting forth our whole
strength, vindicating in a new field, against a new *
enemy, our ancient renown. We mention these
things for the very sake of peace, the preliminaries
of which have, as it appeal’s, been signed between
Count Esterhazy and Nesselrode, for, in the present
temper of the public mind in England, any attempt,
however slight, to renew diplomatic manoeuvres,
would result in an immediate explosion of popular
feeling which might render it impossible to proceed
further in a specific direction.

arrangement has been made, by virtue of which hos

PRESENTMENTS
IF* Os the Grout! Jury of tho Comity of Rich
mond, for tho first week January Term, 1856.
Tho evils which result from the use of intoxicating
liquors, have boon forcibly brought lo the knowledge of
the Jury during the present service; they feel warranted
in saying that those ovils have increased, are Increasing,
and ought to bo diminished. Most of the violations of
law on which they liavo boon required lo act, have been
traced to tho sale of such liquors at licensed establish
ments. In fact, out of 43 true bills found by us, in 3d
cases tho origin of tho crime charged may he traced to
liquor.
The Jury aro of opinion that the systom of Licensing
the sale of intoxicating substances lo be drunk at tho
place at which they aro sold, is wrong in principle, be
cause, if tho practice tends to promote the public good,
no license should bo required any more than for tho sale*
of Sugar, Coffoe, or Provisions; but it Is dear that uo Li
cense should bo granted, if it is found by erporieuco to
cause too many temperate youths of the State to form
habits of intemperance, aud too many of those who have
unfortunately formed such habits, to commit, during a
temporary insanity (often the resnlt of their excesses,) tho
most deplorable crimes ; causing, in tho families of the
criminals, and in thoso of thoir victims, the most acute
distress, and filling tho communities in which they occur,
with horror and dismay.
They aro of opinion that tho ovils referred to, would be*
greatly diminished if the License Laws were so amended
as to vest in the Inferior Courts of the respective couutice
aud the corporate authorities of cities and towns, the*
power to fix the price of License, and the conditions on
which it should bo granted.
We have examined tho County Treasurer’s Books and
Accounts, and find the same correct rfhd neatly kept, and
all the entries supported by proper voucher*. In connec
tion with this subject, wo think it justly dne to Mr. Kee
ner, tho Collector, to acknowledge his uncommon energy
and promptness in tho performance ofhis duties.
Wo find tho Jail in good condition —clean and well
kept. Tho prisoners, of whom there are fourteen white*
and cloven colored, soorn to be w oil taken earo of; but
wo would recommend that mattrassea for the white pris
oners and additional blankets for the colored, be provided*
Wo also recommend that the Jail be warmod by means
of a furnace.
We find the Roads in as good condition as the extrema
bad weather would admit; indeod, in better condition
than usual at this soason of the year, with the exception
of tho Ford on Littlo Spirit Creek at the old TurknetL
Mill on the Waynoshoro’ Road, and .we recommend a
Bridge over it. We rocommond that tke Bridge near
Watkinsville, across tho Cully lending from the old Sand
llills Road to the lower Sand Hills Road, whioh Is now
in bad order, bo repaired without delay.
We have examined tho Poor House, and find It very bad.
ly managed. The inmates aro not provided with proper
food and clothing, or wood, for their comfort, which re
duces them to an actual state of suffering. The Roo*s,
also, are in a filthy condition. We therefore recommond
the immediato removal of tho present Keeper. The
Building requires aomo repairs, and tho Grave-Yard an
enclosure.
Entirely coinciding with hie Honor, the Judge, In Ida ro
commendation in regard to tho preservation of the Public
Records, wo urge tlio vory groat importance of the adop
tion of some plan for tholr soourity.
Wo find tho various Records and papers hi the office of
tho Ordinary in porfeot order, exhibiting care ami faith
fulness in the performance of his duties. But whilo ex
amining the books of tho office, our attention was arrested
by finding all the oarlier records (ooTering the period say
from 1780 to 1800,) in a Tory imperfect state—entirely
without any index ; nomo of them, in fact, mere memo,
randuin books. At somo of those records are of great im
portance, wo earnestly recommond that they should be
copied into suitable books and properly indexed; and
also that among the older volumes, those which are la a
dilapidated condition should bs re-bound.
By law, the Ordinary is also Poor Bchool Commissioner;
in that capacity, we havo received his Report, and hare
critically examined his accounts and vouchers, and havo
found them correct.
There has unquestionably been Imposition practised
upon tho Poor School Fund, and moniee have beon drawn
from the Commissioner to which the recipients were not
entitled But this is tho fknlt of the law, not of the Com
missioner. lie has no authority to appoint the Teachers;
nor has ho tho power to remove or reject those who may
be incompetent or unfaithful.
Deeply impressed by the charge of his Honor, tho
Judge, and heartily concurring with him npon the vital
inqmrtanco of providing a good education for ovory child
in the county, yot, while the present law romalns unal
tered, wo hesitate to recommend so large an assessment
as is necessary to socurothis result, being convinced that
much of it may bo misappropriated. There wore 1210
children in tho county by the last returns, and a tax of 40
per cent npon tho State tax (double that for the past year)
is required to provide schooling for these children and to
pay the deficiencies of the past year. Os the deficiency,
the sum of $847.59, is reported as dne a former collector
(E. C. Tinsley,;—being money over paid by him into tho
Treasury —and his commissions for 1853, which he had
omitted to charge. We think Mr. Tinsley is Justly enti
tled to this amount, and recommend that it be paid.
As to the sums paid to the Teachers, and proved by
vouchers, we have nothing more to say ; but one Item in
tin* account, a receipt for $94.(52, for a School House,
erected by tho Commissioaar in the 119th district, we
think, that as he acted without authority of law, this
charge should not be allowed, and the amount be refund,
ed. We would that tho law required that there should
be a School House erected In every district of the county
As we hope that the present law relating to Poor Schools,
at auy rate so far as this county is concerned, may be so
amended daring the present session of the Legislature, as
•to provide for the proper regulation and supervision of the
Schools, wc leave tho question of the amount of money to
be raised for Poor Schools, for the next Jury to determine
They will sit the first week in March, and thon can act
undcrstandingly.
We cannot leave this subject without saying a few
words about the Poor Schools of Augusta. By the mu
uificeuco of the late Mr. Houghton, ample provision has
been marie for the education of all the children of the
lower portion of tho city, without expense to the county.
“ The Augusta Free School” provides for the central
portions, but no provision has been made for the upper
portion. Consequently any person who may chose to do
so, opens a school and draws his pay from the Commission
er. During the past year, the sum of about SIOOO has been
paid for teaching poor scholars in the 4th Ward. How
much, or if any of this sum was unjustly paid, we are un
able to say ; but where there is no supervision, and no
controlling power, it would be most singular if there wore
no abuses. If a suitable building was provided in a cen
tral location, in which all the children of the district could
be received, and this SIOOO, now scattered in various
quarters, paid only to competent teachers, for this one
School, how much better it would be for the interests of
the children and of the city.
In cloning our labors, we return our thanks to his Honor*
the Judge, for hi# courtesy to us. It affords us pleasure
to bear public testimony to the assiduity, ability and
firmness with which he has performed the very responsi
ble duties of his office.
We also consider it incumbent npon ns to return our
acknowledgements to the Attorney General for his atten
tion to the laborious duties of his office, and the prompt
aid which be has afforded to tho Jury in the discharge of
their duties. JAMES HARPER, Foreman,
