Knocked Him Down. Yesterday, “just as evening was spreading her sable curtain over the earth, and the twinkling stars were beginning to twinkle,’’ a man with a white skin made a raid upon a poor old cripple freedman, knocked hiiu down, ritied his pockets, and fled away. The said white skin, we are advised, hails from a region that is smiled over by no Southern or Italian sky. Fire. —The alarm sounded by “Big Steve” on Monday, at midnight, was occasioned by the discovery of fire in the cellars belonging to stores Nos. 160 and 160}, situate on Broad street, and occupied respectively by G. Renkel and William Samuels. The fire was doubtless the work of an incendiary, and would have done no little damage had it not been so early discovered and gallantly battled against by our ever prompt and indefatigable firemen, Mechanic Fire Company. — We have already alluded to the efficiency of this truly gallant corps of firemen, and we are assured—knowing, as we do, the feeling of our people toward their noble defenders against the fiery element — that we have only now to refresh their memories as to the effort being made to raise au amount of money sufficient to the purchase of a Steam Fire Engine for the Company. While they ask as sistance, the Mechanic's offer, therefor, a quid pro quo, in )'ie way of a ball, which takes at Masonic Hall, on* Thursday evening the 6th. Single copies of the Daily Press can be purchased of tho news boys, or at tbe office, 190 Broad street, for FIVE CENTS each. Money and Crockery Thieves.— On yesterday, were tried before Judge McLaws, two freedmen —oue charged with stealing the sum of fifty dollars from Mr. Geo. A. Oates, and the other with Butlerizing certain articles of crockery from the sales rooms of Mosher, Thomas & Scliaub. The former negro was sent to jail—the iatter bailed.

Tb« Governor Approveii tl»«i Mfkcon and Urunswick Railroad Bill. Mu.LEDOKvm.g, Ga., Doc. A—P. M. Tbe Brunswick Railroad Bill has 're ceived the sanction of the Governor, and is now, a law. Both Houses lihrerepealed act taxing Cotton when held as merchandize. House reported aid to the Muscogee Railroad. Recorder’s Court. —His Ronor’s Levefi was well attended, yesterday morning, we are sorry to say. A white man and a freedman who got into a “ difficulty,” grossly.', in*, salting the 18th seetioti, tftvo Gaud, re spectively, $3 and $5 and tTie costs of the Court., N , A 16th Section case, keeping a cellar door open alter sunset, wus lined $1 uud cost* * A 34tb section case—that’s a very bad case—selling spirits on tbe Sabbath Day. Some people ore often out of spirits, but they shouldn’t replenish them on the Sabbath Dhy, and those who offered them the opportunity must be punished. Now, in some place or other, we can’t exactly remember which, there is a law which authorizes any per son purchasing liquor ou the Sabbath not to pay for it. That looks a little like swiudliug; but it has a tendency to prevent, somewhat, the vending of liquors ou that day. The City Fathers might inquire into it, if they see proper. At any rate, the guilty party above »1. luded to, was lined $lO and costs, which was very lenient on the part of the Re corder; because, if the guilty party had been able to pay any more, the guilty party would have had to pay it. A couple of colored men who had had a little fight—one was sober, but t'other was tight, at the time—paid §2 and $5, respectively. A 17th section case, shooting within the City limits, was fined $1 and costs. An Bth section case, watering a horse at a street pump, was fined $1 and costs. A colored lad, for knocking and abusing some boys—and knocking one of them down—was lined S2O. This was an aggravated case, as the defendant had been calling the little boys “ oppro brious names,” oftentimes before, and certainly deserved punished. A colored woman, for disorderly con duct, was fined s"> and costs. This was a sort of mixed up ease with that 34th section case alluded to above, and hence the Recorder was lenient, because the defendant was angry at her husband spending nonr r liquor, and was abusive and disoi .crly in consequence^ Bill and Emma were, according to u statute of the State, man and wife, though there did not appear to have been any particular ceremony observed on the occasion of their wedding. That, however, is of no special consequence. Suffice it to say that, like a good many united confederations, there was not much unity between them. The fact is, that happy state of ecstatic bliss des cribed by Mr. Ingomar in his conversa tion, when he exclaimed : “Two souls with but a single thought, Two hearts that beat as one,” did not exist between this pair. Not much it didn’t. Hence they quarrelled, kicked up a bobbery generally ; and paid $5 and costs each lor the “matri monial infelicity” which they had exhib ited under the benignant reign of the 18th section. He was r. bad Bill, but it is hoped that he and Emma will paws their lives more socially together here after. “It never rains but it pours,” is au old adage; aud so there is more than one case ol conjugal disagreement. Peter was up for proving “false hearted” and acting very disorderly toward his better half (so called). Like a name sake of his of old, whose virtures are thus recorded in heroic verse: “Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater, Had a wife and couldn’t keep her; The reason why he couldn't keep hor, Peter beat her, pumpkiu cater.” And the Recorder fined him $3, and costs for his disorderly conduct. Peter made a statement, but it didn’t improve his case much ; and the old colored man, who was a witness in the ease, gave him a very good lecture on the impropriety of his conduct. Peter seems to have a very sensible wife ; and be ought to mend his ways and be a better Peter, .-;0 he ought. One 18th section case was continued, and oue was dismissed. And then the levee was concluded, so far as the Court was concerned. j5t2Y~ It is a waste of money to pay Teu Dollars a year for a paper, when the Daily Press can be had for Five Dol lars per annum.

Coutrefslonul. ’ 'SENATE. Washington, Dec. 4. The Senßte was called to order At 12 o'clock. Prayer was offered by the Chaplain. The journal of yesterday was read and approved. Mr. Sumner gave notice that on some future day, he would introduce a joint resolution in regard to reconstruction, declaring tbe jurisdiction of Congress over that whole subject, as well as of the representation of the lately rebellious States iu Congress. Mr. Wilson presented several peti tions from army officers, asking fer an increase of pay, which were referred. Mr. Patterson offered a bill lor the relief of certain widows. Referred to Committee on Peusious when ap pointed. / J ) / Mr. Chandler offered a resolution calling upon the Secretary of the Treas ury for information relative to amonntof money expended in advertising since May last* Ha tfc District of Colum bia ; also in regard to the character of such advertising, and the circulation ol the journals in which it was published. The resolution was adopted. The resolution calling upon the Pres identj for information relative to the occupation ol Mexico, came up in order, aud was on motion of Mr. Sumner, referred back to the Committee. A supplement to the bill in regard to suppressing the rebellion and preventing insurrection was then debated at some length. The Seuate, by a vote of 21 to 21, refused to proceed to its considera tion, it, On motion, the Clerk proceeded to read the bill, when Mr. Hooper moved to suspend its further reading, with drew his inotiou to recommit, and moved that the bill be postponed until the third Tuesday of December, which was agreed to. Mr. Thomas Williams, of Pennsyl vania, from the Committee on Internal Revenue, reported a bill to establish in the Treasury Department, anew Bureau, to have charge of the issui > and of the regulation of the National currency, secured by U. S. Bonds ; the chief officer of said Bureau to be ap pointed by the Comptroller of the Cur rency, by and with the consent of the Senate, and to have a salary of $5,000 a year. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, moved that the bill be ordered printed, aud that the consideration of it be post poned until Thursday of next week, which was agreed to. Mr. Cobb, of Wisconsin, offered a resolution providing that inasmuch as the 13th, 14th, loth, Olid 16th Sections of the Act to provide for the payment of addi tional bounties, etc., were passed in great haste and without sufficient con sideration, therefore, that the Commit tee on Military Affairs be requested to consider the propriety of so amending said Act as to provide for the payment of additional bounties to those soldiers of the volunteer forces who served faithfully in the war, and were honor ably discharged, but who, under exist ing laws, would not be entitled to more than one hundred dollars bounty, and that the loss of their certificates, if hon orably discharged, shall not operate to deprive them of the benefit of this Act as proposed to be amended. The Senate adjourned. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The House met at 12 o’clock. Prayer by Rev. Dr. Boynton. After the reading of the Journal, Mr. Washburn, of Illinois, from the Committee of Rules, reported an addi tional Rule, that there shall be appointed at the commencement of each Congress, a Standing Committee on freedmeti’s affairs, to consist of nine members, whose duty it shall he to take charge of all matters concerning freedmen that shall he committed to them. The Speaker presented a report from the Secretary of War, in reference to Indian hostilities, which was decided to be printed. The House then took up the bill amendatory of the Act on Banking and Currency. Mr. Hooper, of Massachusetts, moved to re-commit the bill to tbe Committee on Banking and Currency. Mr. Randall, of Pennsylvania, said that the bill had oecupie t the attention of the Committee for nearly six months. During the last session it had been matured after full consideration, and he feared that if it were now committed, it would lose its present status. The re forms which it seeks to introduce would be thereby defeated, aud hoped it would not be re-committed. On motion, the clerk proceeded to read the hill, etc. Mr. Wentworth, of Illinois, offered a ■ resolution in response to that portion of the President’s Message which refers to the unrepresented States, affirming that in the acts of disloyalty which have transpired in those communities since the last session of Congress. This House finds additional reasons for insisting upon the ratification of the Constitutional Amendment, before con sidering the propriety of giving them Congressional representation. Agreed to by a vote of 119 to 31. Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, offered a resolution that tho Committee of Fif teen, on Reconstruction, be reappointed, and thnt all documents aud matters be fore referred to them, be cormidered us referred to them anew. Agreed to. Mr. Boulwell, or Massachusetts, in the coarse of a personal explanation, said that he hud reason to believe that as early as May last, the Executive De partment of the Government knew of the whereabouts of John H. Surratt, and that the House, representing tbe the people, would enquire whether tbe President had tofcef the proper steps in the matter. The House then adjourned. PostoOlcea Ke-ENtabllzlied.

The South IVot to Vote onCon stitntional Amendment! [latest.] Washington, De*t4—P. M. Radicalism is wild with triumph, although cheeked up iu Senate to-day. It was only momentarily checked for form’s sake. Every Radical measure will pass early in session ; amongst them, bills strip piug the President of appointing and pardoning power. The object avowed is to prevent the restoration of confis cated property, and a determination to leave President Johnson only the name without any power. Sumner gave notice of a bill abolish ing all State Governments South, de claring that the South shall not vote ou Constitutional Amendments. Bills will no doubt pass.

It says that the French war ship Talis inea had left there, with orders ,or Marshal Bayaine to bring tour hundred of the fifteen hundred men campaigning in Tehuantepec, and thatthatarrival would dispel all chances of the Liberals taking possession of Acapulco. It further says that operations will be immediately commenced against the other ports in the State of Guerrero, and that the boasted Liberal victory near Coloma was only a small affair—some one hundred and five men having been surprised and overpowered by a superior force.

Hett says when you meet with professional Glaziers, you will find that most of them can do more or less bragging. For instance, each will say that he can do more than another. Mr. Hett says that he has put in at Mr. Goodrich’s Sash Factory as many as fourteen hun dred lights in ten hours, with a little boy as an assistant. Every and any one who has glazing to be done—and done well and quickly—send for him at once.

Philadelphia advices of Saturday, Deo. 1, reports the market as follows : Dry Goons —There is a more confident tone in mercantile aud financial circles, but trade is excessively dull. The Dry Goods trade is particularly depressed. Production is gradually being curtailed, notwithstand ing the comparatively low prices of raw materials, and holders of goods manifest no little anxiety to reduce stocks, though they soe no way to accomplish so desired a re sult. The embarrassments of Woollen manufacturers are iueroaeod by the heavy supplies of Foreign goods, which are being forced off by auction at very reduced rates. In fact, there are very few lines of imported goods that do not share iu the depression es the times, and many importers are under stood to have countermanded orders for the Spring trade, while others are said to bo about re-shipping some of their 1 te impor tations in bonds. Cotton—Early in tho week thero was a bettor fooling in tbe market, and moathold ders put up their views one cent per lb, which has tended to check operations, hut since the market has been flattened by tho unfavorable European accounts, and this improvement has beon lost. Sales of 510 bales, closing at 33!a34c for Middling Up land, and 35a36c for New Orleans. Corn —The receipt of both now and old have beon very moderate since our last issue.
