it was discovered and extinguished byv officers Rough and Morine, without raising an alarm. It was the work of an incendiary, as the store was found to have been set on fire In three places. The alarm of fire shortly after twelve o'clocle on Saturday night was caused by the burning of tie chimney of the house of Martin Calvert street, near Saratoga. About 11 o'clock on Saturdav night, the carpenter shop of Mr. Sullers, on West Fayette st near- -Pearl, was fired by an incendiary.

A timelv dis--coyery of the fire was made by officers Gains and Brown, of the western district, who extinguished the flames before an alarm was caused-or any damage done. A frame kitchen attached to the house of Parsons, near the Ferry Landing, Locust Point, yesterday forenoon, caught fire In the roof from Bpf.l maey" 14 extinguished with but slight A flre broke out about half-past four o'clock yes-r terday afternoon in the smoke-house on North street, opposite Franklin, occupied by Mr. James McDaniel.

Pink ney White, and was damaged to the amount of $500, which is covered by insurance ia the Baltimore Fire office. Tke fire was the result of acci dent. During the fire there was an affray among; some of the firemen, and one pistol-shot was fired. A man named George R. Hitzelberger was arrested by officers Pryor and Shaney on the charge of striking William Joneswit'ia stone, and A.

C. Williams was arrested by officers Simpwa and J. Alitche'l on the charge of striking another party. They were held for a hearing by Justice MearlJ, Livimg with the Dead. Information was yesterday conveyed to Deputy Marshal Manly that a man, near unto death, was lying under a heap of brush, at the Western Cemetery, with Captain Llneaweaver and offieer Handy, of the western district police, he proceeded to that place in search ef him.

Before reaching the cemetery, he was informed that the man had been removed to the almshouse, where he was receiving medical treatment. On going to the almshouse he found him to be a German, apparently about forty years of age, of robust frame and genteel appearance. His hair Is slightly grey, and his head bald on the crown. Oa his per in was found a sma'l piece of paper, on which was written in pencil, Lelr," which is supposed to bs his name. When taken to the almshouse he was beyond the power of speech, so that nothing of his history or why he went to the cemetery, could be obtained.

Murderous Affray One Boy Killed Another of those disgraceful exhibitions which have been too often enacted took place about half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon on Loudenslager's hui, in tne lmmeaiaie vicinity oi cwimure i.

It appears that for some time past a feud had ex- isted between the runners with the Lafayette and Columbian fire companies, and they have hau se veral battles without any decisive result. They met yesterday, agreeably to arrangement, apout one hundred and fifty strong, on each side armed with guns, horse-pistols and revolvers. They were composed of boys from twelve years of age up to manhood, and for a time the battle was waged with a determination to take life. There was but one police officer present, S. Cadel, of the eastern district, and he did all in his power to cnecK tne conmet, out was powerless.

nue tne ngnt was going on, a iaa oi tnirteen years, named John Jost, who resided with his widowed mother at No. 203 East Lombard street, add who was acting on the side of the Columbian runners, fell, mortally wounded. This brought the fight to a close, ana tne combatants nea in every direction. A carriage was procured ana the boy was taken to his home, but died before he reached it. Dr.

Buckler Jones was called, and found that the ball passed through the lower point of the right clavecle and through the lungs, when it giancea ana loagea in the spine, uoroner Gorton was called and summoned a jury of inquest, and the testimony of Dr. Jones was elicited as above stated. A brother of the deceaged, and some two years older, testified that he was present at the affray, and saw John throw several stones at the opposite party; saw a youtn, wno is Known as Laggy Downes, step out from'the crowd and fire a gun, immediately aner wnicn nn brother ieu. Officer s. uaaei testified that ne saw tne Doy fall and saw Downes run off; he had a musket in his hands at the time; there were probably three hundred in the two crowds.

Justice was present, testified to the same facts as the last witness, gave chase to Dawnei, but could not cafchhim. Officer Day testified that he was not present when the fight was going on; had learned that Downes had borrowed a gun from a man named Lewis. At this stage of the testimony the inquest was adjourned until ether witnesses could be sum moned, ana a warrant was issuea for the arrest of Downes, who had not been arrested up to a late hour. sucn scenes are saia to De common in that neighborhood, and the residents are great ly annoyed because of the danger to which they I are constantly subjected. I The Last Sermon.

The last religious service wimm tne waiis oi tne mn r-resoyterian cnurcn, Hanover street, previous to its abandonment by the congregation, was held yesterday morning, a large proportion or the membership ana ot tiers being present. The sermon was preached by Rev. E. Reese, u. from the bth verse and 11th chapter of Jeremiah, the Hope cf Israel, and the savior in time oi trouble," Ac.

Theaiscours was touching and suggestive, feeling allusion being made to the untoward circumstances that had combined to cause the congregation to dis pose of the church property and seek to build up another. The speaker concluded his discourse with the following passage: "You go away from your accustomed place of worship, and no more 1..... i cuiiLctii jjmLc trailing iue.se; aisies. i ou ge away, but remember that the Spirit of Grace is not bounded by these walls, and wherever you rear a new altar, there will He appear to bless you The sanctuary passes into the possession of a Hebrew svnasoarue. who intend making such altera tions as win adapt it to their worship.

vv The fifth church was erected in 1S33 and dedi-J cated the following year. Since its organization the following ministers have been successively called to Its pastorate: Rev. James G. Hamner, Rev. Air.

Washburn, Rev. R. S. Hitchcock, and latterly Rev. J.

W. Kerr. A new church Is contemplated by the congregation, to be erected in the western section of the city. A meeting was held yesterday afternoon at the church, theobject the furtherance of the enterprise. Already 810,000 la pledged, and there is every reason to believe the object will be accomplished.

Handsome Present. The police officers of that part of the middle district lying west of Jones' falls, over whom Sergeant Charles AlcComas has command, on Saturday evening, after the close of the duties of the day, presented to that officer a beautiful gold watch of American manufacture. It has a double hunting case, the inside one of which bears the Inscription, "Presented to Sergeant AlcComas by the officers of his divisirn, Feb. 4.1S5?." The presentation was made at Giles' Hotel, by Deputy Marshal Alanly on behalf of the officers, and received by Marshal Herring on the part of the recipient. Captain Brashears then, on the part of the officers, presented to Alarshal Herring a mammoth poundcake, richly ornamented.

Alter the presentation services the companvsat down to a dinner, which was discoursed with a right good will.

At half-past eleven o'clock the company retired to the police station to be on hand for fire-duty, as is required on every Saturday night. An Unpromising Boy.

Yesterday morning of-fleers Parker and C. W- Davis, of the middle district, arrested a some sixteen years, on tbe complaint of his father, who stated that he was beyond his control. He had been entrusted with bills for collection to a large amount, after which he left home early on Saturday morning and did not return. His father learned that he was in the habit of associating with a dissolute club In the easfern section of the city, and procur lng the services of the oilicer started in search of him. On going down West Falls avenue they stopped at a low groggery, where he was found, and taken thence to the middle district police station, still in a condition of inebriation.

He had on his person a large number of un collected bills ajja a srrjail amovuit of money lather stated that until within a few months past he had been an obedient and truthful boy, but had fallen into associations which had put him entirely beyond control. He was losked up to await the decision of the father as to what course he shall pursue with a view to his reclamation. Quarantine Convention. The commissioners appointed by the quarantine convention which was held in Philadelphia last AIay met in that city on Thursday last, to provide for the assembling of another convention this year. This commission consisted of the officers and one delegate from each of the States represented in the late convention.

A number of the gentlemen were present, and letters from others were read, expressing their inability to attend, but their earnest desire for another convention, After certain preliminaries, it was resolved to assemble another convention in Baltimore, on Thursday, the 29th of April ensuing, at 10 o'clock A.

On a late she took ttt articles from a bureau drawer, laving a previous knowledge of where they were kept. On her arrest the chain and cross were recovered, but she said she did not know where the other articles were, as she bad sold them. She was taken before Justice Griffin, who held herfor trial.

Shot Himself. About half past eleven o'clock on Saturday night a man named John AIcNally, who resides in Front street, while standing near the south end of the Centre market, dropped a pistol from his pocket, which exploded and the ball passed through his right foot, inflicting a severe wound. Officers O. Love and Sharer, who were aear, took took him to the drug store of Thomas Pitt, at the corner of High and Pratt streets, where the wound was dresed, after which he was conveyed to his home. The ball passed entirely through the foot.

Potket Picked. OnSaturday, night while attending the Lexington market, Mr. George Williams, residing on Ross afreet, had his pocket-book, containing about 9G5, taken from his pocket, as he was passing through a crowd near Eotaw street, and missed It shortly after, but the thief had fled.

The joint committee appointed on the part of Senate and House of Delegates to visit and Inspect the site of the Maryland State Lunatic Asylnm for the Insane, and examine into the progress of the buildings, performed that duty Monday, February 1, accompanied by Dr.

R. S. Stewart, chairman of the board of commissioners, and made the following report thrussgh their chairman, Dr. Lynch, of Baltimore county. The object had in view by the commissioners In se lecting a site was to secure one which would bine these essential features: Perfect freedom from malaria and every cause of disease; 2d, ease of access; 3d, prox-imily to an abundant and cheap market; 4th, an and cheerful scenery, having such prominent as would promptly attract the eye, even of casual observer: ma, an intelligent neignnor- ocd, likelv to feel a philanthropic interest in the important design of the Institution, and such as would be free from the encroachment of any large manufacturing establishments.

Eacb ana an oi ese reauisitts were deemed essential to the effi cient operation of so beneficent a work as reclaiming the minds of those who have been bereft of reason, the best gift of God to his creatures. ii in rurtnerance oi tneir oojeci tne cuiuuiissiuiiers visited every available section of the State, and lone and anxious observation and delibera selected Spring Grove, a farm of 130 acres, Baltimore county, near Catonille, and dUtant miles from the western boundary of the metropolis. The farm cost the State 85 000, the balance of purchase money having been furnished by private donations from citizens of Baltimore, viz: It Is the decided opinion your committee that a better site could not have been found, it also combines In a remarkable manner tne requisites as stated above. Upon thee points, the Question of location is of prime importance sucn an opject, ana inaeea ior any oDject ae-mantling large appropriations from the State treasury, your committee were diligent to make most cartful inquiry. Salubrtiy.

We ascertain that Catonsville Is esteemed one of the most healthful villages Maryland. It is located upon an elevated plateau, 55a feet above tide water, and is thoroughly drained jby gentle slopes towards the Patapsco south and west, and Gwyn-s lalls north and east. Malarious diseases have never prevailed as epidemic; indeed such is the established reputation health, that the vicinity has been selected as site of four important institutions for the education of the young. Eae of Access. Spring Grove lies between the Frederick turnpike and the Baltimore and Ohio railroed.

It can be reached from Baltimore in than an hour. Persons coming from the west, leaving the cars at the Washington Relay, can at the asylum in half an hour; while from other points there are avenues terminating in the rtaeiicK lurnpiae, tons renaering accessible, bv means of solid roads, from all sec- tions of the Western, and by steamboatto Baiti- Pmetropolis passes the asylum gate six times per day. Proximity to Bal imore is of great importance, enabling tLe State to secure the best medical talent to aid the resident physician, which, from the high character of the profession for benevolence, we have every reason to believe, will most cheerfully bestowed. The third, feurth and fifth points have likewise been secured. Baltimore is the centre of trade, and the cheapest as well as the largest cf our markets for such supplies as the farm of the asylum the fErmets of the vicinity cannot furnish.

We were informed that the officers of the Institutions about Catonsville consider their position of great value as regards matters of domestic economy. Tne Scenery Is of unusual beauty, embracing a full view of thecltv and bay, and ext-mdingsouth' far as Annapolis, tne ttome oi our btate House being, in a clear atmosphere, visible to the naked eye. The adjacent improvements are such as to promise that quiet and freedom from intrusion es-' sential to the success of the sanative measures to employed, while the known Intelligence and refinement of the residents will secure a benevolent co-operation with the officers of the asylum tee penenc oi tne inmates. The local opposition which we understand ex isted a few vears ago seems to have ceased. At all events it is evident that no injury can be apprehended, even by the most sensitive, inasmuch the commissioners, before commencing the present bniidings, offered the site for sale at a price which would have proved a good invest -ment, but the purchase was declined by the holders of the adjacent property.

This only objection removtd, we hesitate not to report that your honorable body could not find a more eligible position for the important benefaction which demands our fostering aid. The buildings have progressed as rapidly as the limited appropriations would admit. We found everything as stated in the report of the architect, the property being all welt protected. The cold weather stopped progress just as the appropriation was nearly exhausted. It is due to the commissioners to say tbat they have exercised most wise and prudent discretion in the use the mocey given into their hands.

It now remains for you to decide wnen the work si all resumed, and how rapidly it shall advance to completien. We have only one public Institution which provides the semblance of suitable accommodation for tbe insane, viz the Maryland Hospital. The report of the visitors is before you, and it emphatically declares that the hospital is entirely inadequate to tbe necessity. To enlarge that building would be Injudicious economy. The location is not suitable, the plan altogether unap-propriate.

By the census of 1350 there were In Maryland 937 insane and idiotic persons 752 white, 91 free colored and 93 slaves (521 males, 416 females.) Of these, 657 were born among us, 83 natives of other States and 69 born in foreign lands. What proportion of this large aggregate is a charge upon the General Assembly we are unable to say; but this much Is certain, that the proportion is constantly increasing for the want of proper remedial measures. Many of these unfor-: tunate beings are confined in the county almshouses, and rendered by imperfect medlcdl treatment and injudicious discipline hopelessly thus a permanent burden upon the State, who, by timely treatment in a well-appointed asylum might have been restored to sanity and the performance of the duties of citizenship. It is every year being more clearly demonstrated that insanity Is curable, in fact yields to prompt measures, while it is aggravated by delay and oftimes confirmed by the inadequate provision made by the guardians of the public weal. The leading reviews, both in the United States and Europe, abound with valuable articles upan this topic, and the result of careful statistical comparison is, that while under the old system, enly 15 per centum of cases were cured, now new treatment, In properly arranged asylums, 75 per centum are cured a fact at which the heart of the philanthropist leap for joy, and which appeals to the Legislature of Maryland with an argument of power irresistible, "Go and do thou likewise Our first step must be to provide adequate and ample accommodation for allclasses of the insane, in properly qualified asylums.

The buildings necessarily must be extensive, that a proper classification of the inmates may be made, varying from the madman who requires (though late ex-perience proves such to be very few unless driven to mania by brutal treatment) bars and chains, down to tbe sad subjects of morbid melancholy who need, with simple medicines, only kind words and the pleasing comforts of home, and oft are reclaimed by the same process by which the parent awakens to activity the intellect of the little chiJd. It is painful to reflect that Maryland, while she has lavished, with prodigal hand, millions upon schemes of internal improvement; schemes which have by bitter experience proved their worthless-ness, and likely to be a burden upon our shouldershas done nothing effectual for the insane. She has county madhouses and lunatic keepers, but no home where the mild spirit of beneficence presides, and in which those who are bereft of reason may find sympathy, and through kindness added to skill, be restored to their place among the intelligent creatures of God. Maryland has no asylum, at; once the pride of her citizens, and the evidence of her sister States that she is not regardless of the obligation to provide for the poor and sufi'er-ing. For eight years philanthropic men have been knocking at the doors of our legislative halls, asking sympathy and material aid for tbe distressed and neglected lunatic, but there has been no response save tbe meagre sum of $25,000, and that scattered through a period of nearly 100 months.

We have commenced the work, and now the question reaches the heart and conscience of each legislator, shall that work stand still? We have acknowledged our duty. Shall that duty find no solid, substantial memorial? Maryland is not poor Her finances are most encouraging her debt rapidly diminishing her wealth daily Increasing her position in the confederacy high and commanding. Let her good works be seen In this the day of her prosperity! But, were her treasury empty, better would it be to create a special tax, than the solemn obligations of phi- lamnropy snouia oe negieciea. The appeal of the Maryland Asylum for the In sane is an appeal not to the liberality, but to the philanthropy of the State, and your committee conclude by urging the largest possible appropriation to this work. i After visiting tbe above described locality, the committee proceeded to visit St.

Timothy's Hall. and to inspect the arms of the State loaned to the students of this valuable institution. It was with mingled feelings of pride and pleasure we witnessed skill and and manly deportment of the youths who turned out on military parade.1 They were put through the Infantry drill, and then manoeuvred as a corps of light artillery, with six guns; and In each exhibi Further Testimony in the Lawrence, Stone Co. Bribery Business. The stockholders of the Bay State Alills held a meeting In Boston, on Friday, at which the report of the investigating committee was read by the chairman, Air.

R.J. B. Crownlnshield. The report makes over four newspaper columns, embracing a detailed history of the company and It connection with Messrs. Lawrence, Stone Co.

Mr. Lawrence, as treasurer, received a salary of 5,000 per annum, and the firm a commission of two and a half per cent, on all their sales The entire amount of their commission from lSIg tolS57, from the Bay State Company alone, was over $335,900, besides doing a large commission business for the Aliddlesex, Pemberton and New England Worsted Companies. Their aggregate commissions for the year 1856 amounted to nearly $95,000. On the failure of the firm they owed the Bay State Company nearly 8327,000, of which with the exception of paid on account of the tariff bill, no trace can be discovered. The report says: This large sum of money has been taken from the company bv its confidential agents, of whom the treasurer was one, without the knowledge, consent or even suspicion of the directors, and the facts have been carefully and stadiously con cealed from them, and it has been appropriated to their own use, in such a manner as tney nave seen lit.

Whatever that application may nave been, or however they may have fondly or foolishly hoped or intended to have made it good at some future day, does not change the nature of their acts, which can be characterized only as fraudulent, criminal conduct an appropriatien to their own use of the property of a too confiding company by its agents, appointed and munificent ly compensated to guara ana waccn over its inter ests and manage its most important concerns. The report alluding to the tariff disbursements says: What shall be said, however, of the large sum of SS7.000, which in effect forms a part of that ao taken from us and from others, which was ap plied to the procuring of tbe passage of the last tariff; that panacea which was to cure all our evils? Is that application of money such as to commend It to our approval, or to that of the public? It is true that we know not with any certainty where it went, or how it was applied, if we except some which was spent for publications, newspaper articles and the like. Of the balanee we know that It hag cone, and ve know one person by whom it teas disbursed. We know that there were at one time certain memoranda in the possession of our agents which would, it is supposed, explain in part mis my sery, but they have disappeared. While we have figures for matters which do not appear objectionable the diffusion of light, of information and arguments there la a careful omission of anything which would show what became of the balance of the money.

This gives rise to disagreeable suspicions that it must have gone for purpt ses which would not bear exposure, and which neeaea to De maaen ana vv as It employed in costly entertainments at Washington, given to those supposed to be able to influence legislation there? Was it expended in the employment of a corps of lobby members hangers on to the skirts of members of Congress, to worry them into giving votes in favor of such measures as might be supposed favorably to affect their Interest? or was it employed for still darker and more objectionable puiposes: we oniy xnow mat one oi tne nrm Air. Stone has told us that while hewasat Washington, laboring diligently and with all his might to diffuse information, by all lawful means, to persuade Congress into the passage of a tariff which would prove less onerous and more ad van tageous to tbe woolen interests, which have long been depressed, he was told that if he hoped ior success it would be necessary for him to adopt quite anotber course of measures, and to be less scrupulous than he was in the use of the means at his disposal; that letters were written home, saying that some other agent one cf a more pliable temper must be employed; ana that in conse quence thereof he was withdrawn, and another member of the firm was sent on to represent them, and who, as he supposed, paid out and disbursed or controlled the application of the rest of the money. So our money went without our knowledge or consent. We have no account of it, and are not able to tell how much of it was ours and how much be longed toothers. We are not assured that it even did so for the tariff.

It is hinted that it did not. There is a darkness about it that we cannot pen etrate. Perhaps It may be better that we should not. There might be brought to light matters which It would be disagreeable to some people to have exposed. We are told that what was done was done with eood intentions and fer our zood.

If that much vaunted tariff shall prove beneficial to the woolen manufacturing interest we havethe satisfaction of contemplating that had we not been stifled by our friends before the day dawned we too might have tasted its good fruits. Tbe report was accepted and a vote parsed to dissolve the corporation ana close up irs andirs "Wholesale Poisonisg The most horrible caw ever heard of has recently come to light in Alabama, Genesee county. New York. In July, 1856, Henry Hoag, a respectable citizen of that town, died quite suddenly. Six weeks thereafter his little daughter, five or six years old, died after an illness cf twenty-four -hours.

Last spring an iofant child, born subsequent to Air. Hoag's death, died alter a short illness. Last fail another child two years old, died under still more suspicious circumstances. A post-mortem examination was had, but the chemist to whom the child's stomach was sent neglected to analyze 1U contents. The community, however, had become satisfied that the death of so many members of a family, under such circumstances, required further investigation, and the bodies of all of them were exhumed, and the stomachs of the first three, and a portion of the duodenum of the last secured, and upon analysis arsenic was found in them all.

Suspicion at once pointed to the wife and mother as the per son who administered the poison, and the was arrestea ana is now in jau at JUatavia, awaitinw the actios of the grand jury. Since her husband's death she has married again to a man by the name of Frisch, who lived with her but a short time somedlfSculty having arisen between them. Some years since three others of her children died quite suddenly, with symptoms almost precisely similar to the last ones, and it is inferred, that she poisontd them also, from the fact that she confessed tbat she had poisoned the first one, but that she did It accidentally and through mistake. Death in a Dentist's Chair Mr. J.

AlcChes-ney's death in a dentist's chair at Toronto, C. on Alonday last, while under the influence of chloroform, has been stated in a telegraphic dispatch. He desired the extraction of six teeth, but would have no operation performed by the dentist (Dr. M. D.

French) unless placed under the influence of chloroform. He waj its dangers, but strenuously insisted on his point, assuming all responsibility. Accordingly it was administered in the usual way, by a sponge to the nostrils of the patient After a short time he began to laugh, and when asked the cause said "he could not help it. seeing those fellows (meaning the dentist and another person) laughing at him." It was then thought he was sufiiciently insensible to commence the operation of lancing the gums. He winced under the lancing, and the chloroform was again applied, and the teeth removed.

But as soon as this was done, he was seen to alter in appearance, his eyes became fixed, the jaws fell, ceased, and the heart's action stopped. Every possible attempt was made to restore animation, but to no purpose. A coroner's jury exonerated the dentist from all blame, as It was shown tbat the chloroform was voluntarily Inhaled, and that more thaa ordinary care was used in administering it. Army Orders.

Disgraceful 11 ow In the House of Representatives.

The House of Representatives at Washington was in session the whole of Friday night, engag. ed in a series of parliamentary strategems to avoid a direct vote on the resolutions relative to referring the President's message which accompanied the Lecompton constitution. These stratagles consisted in raising motions to adjourn, to excuse members from voting, to call the House, During the night, or rather about two o'clock on Saturday morning, a disgraceful, fracas occurred between Mr. Grow, a republican from Pennsylvania, and Mr. Keitt, a democrat, from South Carolina, of which we have several versions.

We copy the following from the Washington Star: Mr. Quitman, of Mississippi, attempted to Introduce a resolution, which will be found in the report of the proceedings in another column. Of course, unanimous consent was necessary for Its submission to the House, and no objection being made, the Speaker proceeded to put the resolution to vote. At this stage of the proceedings Mr. Grow, of Pennsylvania, from a position on the opposite side of the House from where his seat is situated, and while passing down the aisle, objected to the resolution.

Mr. Kelt, of South Carolina, said to Mr. Grow, "Go on your own side of the House and object!" Mr. replied, "I'll object where I please," and, report says, he added, "without being intimidated by any southern negro driver." But few words passed before these gentlemen were engaged in a pitched battle, but as to which of them commenced it we cannot say. In the attempt of their friends and the officers of the House to separate them, Mr.

K.was pushed down, but both the belligerents were carried from the scene of action in a very short time, acd before they had received any serious injuries. In the meantime, however, a large number of Mr. Grow's friends, headed, it is said, by Mr. Potter, of Wis consin, poured into the arena immediately In front or tne ypeaser stana. riere tney were met by a nearly equal iorce oi tne opposition, ana here occurred "The shock of the two contending hosts." A regular "free fight" raged a few minutes, but was finally broken up by the officers of the House and many of the more thoughtful and conservative members Nobody was hurt to any extent worth noticing.

To say the best of the aflfalr, it was disgracef-il, but it will no deubt be greatly magnified by letter writers. From what we can learn not more than ten or twelve members were really engaged ia It as belligerents, the others naving crowaea up ior the purpose of quelling the disturbance. Its principal result is deep mortification to the most active participant; the termination of the affray the session was conducted with quiet ana oraer until aa- journment. i he following is anotner account ei mean ray: About a quarter before two o'cleck. while vari ous motions to kill time and prevent definite action were put, and while many members, know- Ins that there was no special business on hand and no likelihood of a vote, were lounging and dosing in their seats or moving promiscuously about tbe hall, Air.

Grow, of Pennsylvania, whose seat is abeut the centre of the western side of the House, where the republican members nearly all sit, found himself on the opposite side, whose inhabitants are chiefly democrats. There is a passage or aisle between the seats, leading from the northeast corner ef the Hall to the Speaker's chair, making radius of the circle of members' Mr. Grow was quietly walking down this aisle, when Mr. Keitt, of South Carolina, and Mr. Reuben Davis, of Mississippi, approached him.

Mr. Quitman had risen, and Air. Grow had objected to his speaking. Said Air. Keitt, "If you want to object you had better go to your own side of the House." "This is a free said Alr.G row, "and every man has a right to go where he pleases "What do you mean by such an answer as that?" said Mr.

Keitt. "I mean just what! said," replied Mr. Grow, and repea ed the remark. Air Keitt then seized him by the collar, exclaiming. "I will let you know that you are a black republican puppy." Air Grow thrust his hand aside with violence, saj ir.g: "1 shall occupy such a place as I please, and no nigger -driver shall crack his whip over me 7 AeflnAIr Keitt seized him by the throat, and was aain driven off by Mr.

Grow, and on the attempt ben repeated, Mr. Grow delivered, a well-aimed blow and knocked Air. Keitt down. There was a rush of members from the opposite side'of the Hall, and from allquaiters. Mr.

Barks-dale, of Mississippi, rushed In to separate the combatat ts. Air. Wasbburne, of Illinois, who at a front seat on the republican side, thinking that he was going to help-Mr. rieitt, nurriea into the melee and knocked Air Barksdale's wis off. Reinforcements arrived from all' quarters, and for a counle of minutes there was a furious con test, but foitunately no one was hurt, and by the aid or thesergeant-at-arms the principal com Da tanfa were parted and order restored.

Speaker Orr, who is a colleague and friend of Mr Keitt, was pale as a sheet, but composed and collected in manner. The moment that the com-i bat ants were separated there was a quiet that was startling in Its effect. The Speaker directed the roll to be calied on a motion to excuse a member! from voting, and the business of the session went on. Reported Slavs Insurrection in Arkansas The St Louis News, ef the 2d, has the following i on which the telegraphic dispatch, published on Saturday, was based: Some individual (whose credibility Is not ln-i creased by the fact tbat his name is" Jno. writes to us from Fayettevllle, Arkansas, under date of the 23d giving an account of what, if he is to be believed was a fearful insurrection near that place.

The insurrection, our corres pondent states, was incited by two men, Dodds and Trimble, from Kansas. The negroea attacked two settlements, killing twenty -three persons, among whom were the families of Mr. Cupps, Air. Starkman, Alr.Williford, Majoi Brookes and Air. P.

R. Smith, killing stock and burning dwel lings as they passed along. The Insurrection was finally crushed by a party of volunteers under Air Thomas Gunter, who met the negroes, attacked and routed them, killing seven and capturing nineteen. Such Is the narrative. It may be true, and it may not; we are inclined to think It is not true.
