George A. Ainslie, Chief of Fire Department 11 1 have received your very full report of tlie investigation of the charge of negligence on the part of your Department on the niffht of the Gth instant, in arriving at the scene of the fire, and take pleasure in saying that, so far as I have been able to judge, it completely exonerates your Department, The delay, which it is admitted occurred, seems to have been duo to the failure of the box nearest the fire and that at which the alarm was turned in to register the alarm. The firemen were promptly on the ground after the bell struck. Very respectfully, 'X A. M.

Keilet, Mayor. Jefferson at Assembly Any "actor, however distinguished, might well lie proud of such a reception as that of Mr. Jefl'erson at Assembly Hall Saturday night. The immense hall was packed to its utmost capacity, over a thousand seats being filled and all available etauding-room occupied by iuterJ ested and eager spectators. Many, doubtless, went away on finding that before the Iierformance began the doors were blockcd with people, and we know that hundreds did not go to the hull because it was generally known that every scat had been sold.

Jefferson's triumph in his old home was complete. The Rip Van Winkle of Joe Jefferson lias long since ceased to be a subject of criticism. We can only record, as others have done, the delight with which it is received by discriminating audiences.

Germon as Gretchcn was all that could be desired and the parts of Minnie (girl and woman) and Hciurich (boy and man) were conspicuously well cast.

Conerresslonal. Washington', January There was no session of the Senate. In the House, the pending question at adjournment yesterday was the ameudment of Mr. Smith, of New York, forbiddiDg the payment of judgments of the Court of Claims for cotton captured before June, 1865, except ppeciul appropriations are made for them. Mr.

Garfield, of Ohio, replied to Mr. Smith's speech of yesterday, repelling the idea that any judgment had been paid by he Secretary of the Treasury except in strict compliance with the law. He cited the unanimous decision of the Supreme Court to the effect that the receipt of a general or special pardon relieved the claimants of all difficulties which they under in regard to their loyalty, and that wherever the United States Government hold property which it has forcibly seized, it holds it only as a trustee, and must deliver it back when the owner comes and proves his title to it, without regard to his moral character. Mr. Smith did uot ask the House to throw itseif in the teeth of decisions of the Supreme Court; but if the Supreme Court, was of the opinion that.

a. disloyal claimant like Love, of Georgia, who was a Confederate loan commissioner, and who had already recovered $474,000, and Lamar, of Savaunah, were to be paid, he submitted that at least it should be on the report of those judgments to Congress, so that Congress should know and the country should know what wus being done. lie reminded the House that in the McArdle case Congress had. by an amendment to an appropriation bill, deprived the Supreme Court of jurisdiction, and be admonished Congress, the Supreme Court, aud the Administration that the people were behind them, and determined that loyal people should be paid tirst. If the Government was going iuto liquidation they should give the preference to their confidential creditors.

That was all there was in his amendment. Mr. Potter, of New York, expressed his satisfaction at having the Court of Claims arraigned for not being loyal, because if there ever was a court in the United States that had been superserviceably loyal it was the Court of Claims, which bad at it head as chief-justice the Drake amendment. Mr. Perce, of Mississippi, opjiosed the amendment as being an attack on the southern section of the country.

He showed the variouR stages of proof which claimauts had to go through in order to get, not the full value of their cotton, but the net proceeds of it paid into the Treasury, and which in some instances did not amount to one-fourth the value and asked whether they should then be compelled to come before Congress and have their claims passed upon by partisan influence. He appealed to all southern representatives to vote against the amendment. Mr. Haw Icy, of Connecticut, sustained the amendment, and said that be wanted every judgment of this kind to be reported to Congress, so that Congress might exercise its discretion whether it would pay these claims in preferment to the claims of loyal men whose property had been taken or destroyed in the cause of the war. Mr.

Sargcant, of California, denied that the cotton embraced iu these claims bad beeu seized duriug the war. It had been taken after the close of the war, aud after the proclamation of peace. There was, therelore, no justification for its seizure or for withholding paymeut from its owners. Mr. Shellabargcr, of Ohio, admitted under (he decision of the Supreme Court that all these amnestied persons had been fully restored to their rights, and those rights could not be confiscated; but there was a way of meeting the difficulty, and lie was in favor of meeting it.

That way was to remit the Court of Claims to the position which it origiually occupied, tlwt of being really an auditing committee of Congress, to audit claims presented to Congress, its binding to be really nothing more than information on which Cuugress was subsequently to act. They should have to come back to that point in order to escape the effect of the decisions of the Supreme Court in reference to the rights of amnestied persons. Mr. Maynard, of Tennessee, argued in favor of extending the privileges of the Court of Claims to the class of claimants until the 1st January, 1871. Mr.

Merriam, of New York, offered an amendment repealing the law giving jurisdiction over these cases to the Court of Claims, but on a point ot order raised by Mr. Sargeut, of California, the amendment was ruled out. He then argued in support of Smith's amendment. Mr. Bingham, of Ohio, opposed the amendment, anil argued that the only remedy was the repeal of the law, and that could uot be done in au appropriation bill.

The amendment-was further opposed byHarris of Virginia, Bcck of Kentucky, and Mclntyrc of Louisiana. Mr. Fa rns worth, of Illinois, argued against the idea of subjecting the judgments of the Court of Claims "ta-heHKUwed llP0U Congress. It would be liktjapiK'iTlWg FfWtt to Philip drunk." Mr. Smith, of New York, denied the statement made by Mr.

Sargeant, that these claims were lor cotton seized after the 30tli of June, 1805. By the express terms of his amendment such cases were excluded from its operation such claims were now adjusted, not by the Court ot Claims, but by the Secretary of the Treasury. Finally, the debate was closed, and the amendment offered by Mr. Smith, ot New York, was rejected, there being ouiy 38 votes in the affirmative. Mr.

Randall, of Pennsylvania, offered an amendment that no mouey shall be paid to any railroad company for transportation of mails or troops 4 while such company is in default for interest on t.tie bonds Issued by the Government. Mr. Sargent, of California, made the point of order that there was nothing in the bill to which the proviso could apply. The Chair sustaiued the point of order, and excluded the amendment. Other amendments of a like nature were offered and ruled out.

and shows that the immediate cause of death was a failure of the action of the heart. The body will be embalmed and lie in state. The date and place of his funeral is not yet appointed. It Ls probable, however, that the funeral ceremonies will take place in the Roman Catholic church near the Imperial residence. Prince Murat and Prince Charles Bonaparte were at Chiselhurst to-day.

London, January A. The report of the examination at ChUelhurst says the failure of circulation was due to the Emperor's general constitutional condition. The bladder wa3 found to be diseased and the kidneys affected. The other organs were sound and healthy, but death was simply a question of time. The Empress last night was calmer, and received several visitors from France.

She went several times to the room in which the body lies. Queen Victoria sent Colonel Gardiuer to Chiselhurst with an autograph letter, and a telegram of condolence has been received from the Pope.
