In his 'flounderings he splashed up such words as mortal man never heard before. At least I never heard of "unwauton," which the Senator used for "wanton" in the :sense of "unprovoked," or of "factftate" for "facilitate," both words in which he seemed to luxuriate, to follow his fashion of coinage, for he repeated them several times. Mr. Brown's literature has been a papers, aim. Mvljmdopn flbpejb'tfl an a A 2 S know English from gabble. The only memorable point in the debate was the declaration of Mr. Steele that Mr. Brown agreed especially to vote to retain Mr. Burson if he (Steele) would vote to oust Sarninghausen. Says Steele, as he related the affair, "I don't feel safe in trusting to a Democrat's promise without security. What security have I that you will keep your word?" "If I don't, you may denounce me on the floor of the Senate as a perjurer, liar and villain," was the assurance of Mr. Brown. "Now" says Mr. Steele, "he did not keep his word, and I am authorized and do denounce him as a perjurer, liar and scoun drel." That was salty. But Brown took it. That he said what Steele reported nobody doubts, but that he did it with the purpose of deceiving Steele and with no thought of keeping his promise, nobody doubts either. To doubt that would be a suggestion of sincerity in the Jackson gentleman that he has little claim to. The vole was taken about 5 o'clock and Burson declared excluded, or

not entitled to admteapjnjbyla fot to 21. some Eepublicrfns ^bei This ends the Burson business. The tes. timonv is of no consequence, as he would have been excluded just the same without any evidence as with "confirmationstrong as proofs of holy writ." T. T.

Mr. Wheeler denounced the previous question, and declined to yield the floor to other gentlemen. The demand was seconded, when Mr. Beatty moved, but the House refused to adjourn.

uces the capital from ldO millioa to million dollars. 5! Mr. Julian raised the question whether the bill should be con«ider«^l at this time, and the House agreed to do so.

Mr. Wheeled explained the amendment reported by him from the Com mi it ee. The bill from the Senate provide*! for six different lines. The amendment provides for a single trunk from a point on the eastern boundary of the State of Texas, at or near Marshall,• to the ship canal in the Bay of San Diego. California, pursuing the route Icnow its the 22d parallel of .north latitude. The "Senate bill provided fora gauge of five feet. This amendment proposes a uniform gauge.

Mr. Garfield said, while 'be believed that Congress ought to put an end to land grants, believed the passage ol -the South •..Pacific Rail road bill-was a great act of iumei ciar jua'.lfie td 4lie Soiftb. He could not, however, vpte for the measure imless there' were three things provided against in the bill: 1st, that it 'is not complicated with any branches or side roads.

Mr. Wheeler—It was wot. g. Mr. Garfield resumed saying, in the second place he should not grant subsidies of bonds, or money, *r loan the national credit.

Mr. Wheeler replied that it did not call for one. dollar in bpnds or money. Mr. Garfield'further asked whether the bill was so drawh that the men to whom the grant-waa-made shall build the road anri-eell the valuable franchise.

Mr. Wheel£r replied that according to the best ability of the committee, that was the object.

Mr. Garfield—Then I am for the bill. Mr. Allison desired to call attention to -the 4th section, which he said, did not meet objection. This section proposed that the company should purchase and_ consolidate all railroad companies, not' only those which now exist, but those which may hereafter be chartered.' This latter part he proposed to strike out.

Mr. Judd said this bill seemed to cover the entiie United States, as it gave power to make branches to almoBt every part of the country. He had, therefore, called the attention of the cliairmanof the cdmmiltee to the subject, who replied thit certain ^companies would combine, arid that was the reason for the section.

CINCINNATI,

Feb. 21.—The old part of

the Cincinnati Union Bethel, on Front street, was burned this morning at eleven o'clock. It was used as a reading room and cheap restaurant for seamen and others, newsboys' home and other purposes, in connection with the benevolent woi'k. pf the Society. A splendid new building in the rear, recently finished by the Society to accommodate one of the largest audiences of any church in the countrywas much exposed, the rpef damaged spmewhat by fire and the ceiling by water. The. loss to the latter will be covered by a few thousand dollars. The old part was insured 53,000 in the American and $2,000 in the Cincinnati. The adjoining stores of Gath & Vannoa and Slymer & Raif were somewhat damaged by water. The new building was amply covered by insurance. The whole loss is about

$30|000. ik

THE INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION. TORONTO, Feb. 21.—Ottawa correspondent ofthe Telegraph says, the announcement by Sir John McDonald in reference to the fishery question and appointment of an international commission, created a profound impression in the House. What the Premier said confirmed the statement made on Saturday to the effect that the Dominion government, so far from having ignored the appointment of the Commission, was not only cognizant of the movement but actually the originator df it to a very considerable extent.

By Telegraph.] New Yoax. Feb. 21. There is a fair business doing in staple dabries adapted tn the season, and priees are renerally steady, bat the market is still f»r Jrom being active. The high prices recently prevalent for printing cloths led to inereated jroductions, and prices hare tumbled down ,o

and are likely to go still lower This weakens the market forprinted calicoes, and those who contemplated running up the price of these goods to I1K if not 12, are now less enthusiastic in their views, and will be only, too glad if they can hold on to 11 per yard as the season adranees. Ginghams are steady and in fair request: choi«e styles et Lancaster, Amoskeag and Bates command 15 and
