ADD ITIOXAK CITY JYJS4FN. ' ■% The Fdurth Presbyterians have a social this evening. Albert Irwin and Olive P. Manlove were to-day licensed to marry. Charles L. Fritz was yesterday arrested by Constable Stewart on a warrant pworn out by A. J. Chambers, of Irvington, charging him with forging the signature of Luther Martin to some documents. The case was dismissed without going into a preliminary hearing, the complainant being satisfied that the defendant was innocent of the charge, Bridget Rady, a young girl from Southport, last evening accompanied a- male person to this city and was induced by him to drink a lass of beer, which now she says was doped.” The next thing in her remembrance was being in the alley near Wiles’s livery stable, with this fellow taking liberties with her person, but she screamed for help so lustily that he ran before the police could effect an arrest.

In the United States District Court the petition of creuitors of the Logansport, Crawfordsville and Southwestern railway, for the removal of Spencer D. Schuyler, Receiver for said road, is being argued. The petitioners allege that Schuyler is running the road in his own interest, especially so in the matter of transporting coal over that line from some mines in which he is largely interested. Baker, Hord & Hendricks represent the petitioning creditors, and Harrison, Butler & McDonald, the Receiver. I. O. O. It. Election of Officers—Adjournment. The Independent Order B’nai B'ritb, held an election of officers this morning with the following result; Nathan Drucker, Cincinnati, President; S/Ullman, Louisville, 1st, and Meyer Lebensburger, Dayton, Ohio, 2nd Vice-President. Otto Nusbaun, Columbus, Ohio, Sergeant-at-Arms. A, Abrahams, of Cincinnati, Secretary; N. Menderson, Cincinnati, Treasurer; Victor Abrams, Jacob Scbroeder, Emil Kahn and Simon Walstein, Cincinnati, General Com-

mittee.

The several amendments to the constitution which have been under discussion for the past two days were adopted by a vote of

the Order.

The Convention then adjourned sine die.

The State Editorial Association met this afternoon in the Agricultural Rooms, President J. T. Bryer. of the Logansport Journal, in the chair, and a comparatively full representation present. The session was opened with prayer by Dr. Bayliss,and the afternoon was then commenced with the program heretofore published, which embraces

tiie following:

Organization and address by the President,

John Harris and George B. Wiggin ton were drunk. Andrew Scott and Margaret Thom pson were arrested under the ill fame ordinance. The Deputy King Hoodlum, Wm.

Curtiss’s profanity was continued until to-morrow. Several other cases remained uncalled. Honors for tbe Trnly Stood.

[New York Sun.]

Still, there is an anterior reason why he would not ran for Vice President upon* any ticket whatever, and this is that he is not eligible, inasmuch as he was born in Ireland, and only a native American can be choaen Vice President. This is a pity, for Deacon Richard Smith would adorn that office ; but until the Constitution is changed it can't be helped. However, if he can not be Vice President, there is no constitutional prohibition against naming babies after

him.

A number of petitions on temperance and fees and salaries were read and referred. - bkaysb lake. A message was received from the Governor on the subject of the bed of Beaver Lake. REPOSTS. A number of reports were made from standing committees aud placed on file. THE NEW STATE HOUSE. The joint committee of the last Legislature made their report on the subiect of plans for a new State House. The resolution provided that plans ^hotild be limited to $2,000,000 and the house to be finished within six years. The committee argued at length in favor of the ability of the State and the necessity for a new Capitol. A tax of five cents on the $1000, continued for sfx years, will produce a fund sufficient to build both a new State House and an Insane Asylum worth $400,000. Eighteen plans were submitted and committee recommended the following three: First—The plan of Charles Eppinghausef,of Terre Haute. Length, 432feet, with 12 feet porticos at either end. Width in center, 240 feet; interior diameter of dome, 70 feet; hight, 240 feet; hight of basement story, 22 'eet; of first story, 24 feet; of second story, 24 feet; and of third story. 14 feet; hight of building. 88 feet; styleoi architecture,classic Roman. This is believed to be the most elegant of any plan submitted. Total cost, $1,016,462; with ten per cent added for architect and superintendent’s expenses, $1,771,-

508.

Second Plan—That of Mr. J. C. Johnson, of Newark, Ohio, style, modern renaissance, three stories high with mansard roof; total length, 373feet; width, 251 feet 200 feet dome. The arrangement of the rooms is very good, and meets the hearty ipproval of the committee. Total cost, $1,503,807; ten per cent, added, $1,994,187. Third Plan—That of S. B. F. Cooper, of New Albany, style, modern renaissance; form, Greek cross, all points alike, and 350 reet In length; main hight, 81 feet; rotunda, 74 feet in diameter. The dome is 114 feet in diameter, and 277>$ feet high. The committee like this building but consider the dome too bulky, and the building too “bunchy.” Total cost, $1,868,803; with 10 per cent, added, $2,055,683. Mr. R. Slater, of the minority, reported in favor of the plan of Elijah E. Myers, of Detroit, as being superior iq general appearance, and presenting more guarantees for construction, etc. The committee submitted a bill providing for a commission of five so superintend the building of a State House, to be appointed by the Governor, which was read, and the whole report laid on the table, and ordered printed.

Washington, January The announcement that the mammoth tinder-box which constitutes the headquarters of the Navy Department was in flames created intense excitement for a short time at the Capitol. The impression that the administration would be glad to have the building and its archivesde-

<!“« '*» «.eoauerc«s.

found that the fire had been checked with a comparatively slight loss, wagers were freely offered that it would be established that valuable papers had been consumed. One

House,'said: “I have been hoping for six years have a chance at the documents in the Navy Department; but I think the officials in charge will burn me out of my ambition, after all.” The result of the varied suspicions was correct It was found that the fire started in the section i» which had long been kept the valuable copies of official letters, a large proportion of which were utterly ruined. Some of the most useful documents for anti-administration investigation committees are stored in this building. and % handy use may evidently be made of them* if fires are not too frequent. [Special to the Cincinnati Commercial of to-day.1 No senatorial election for a long time has caused so much talk in Washington as that of Andy Johnson. The general form of e±jpression is, “Well, Andy will make lively 'times in the Senate.” THE VOTE ON THE ONE TERM MEASURE. The debate and vote on the proposition to extend the term of the President to six ye^rs and make him ineligible for a second term became o^pipUcated with the expression of views on Che third term, with which it had nothing directly to do,and when a general debate was expected, nothing took place. A vote of 98 to 138 on tabling it showed the strong disposition to have some action on the subject, and there was nearly as strong a vote against recommitting, but as no extended debate could be # had, nor any opportunity for amendment/a number who favor some change declined to vote, and the requisite two-thirds vote for a constitutional amendment w T as not secured, the vote standing 134 th 104. Prominent among the Republicans voting in favor of submitting the proposed amendment to the Constitution, limiting the Presidential term, were Messrs. Dawes, Butler (Benj.), Garfield, Foster, Gooch, Ellis H. Roberts, Kasson, Kellogg, and Stanard. The discussion attracted at great deal of attention. From Butler’s remarks it was demonstrated now easily the outrage business could be manipulated so as to give Grant a third term. His remarks were pointed, however, to the Democrats, whom he charged with keeping up the disturbances. The . talk grew serious, and Ellis H. Roberts remarked that the danger? to Republics always came from above. They are never overthrown by'the people, but by ambitious men, who gain control of them. The debate and appearance of the House at the time demonstrated that there had been serious thoughts on the subject among men who are not given to the waste of time on sensational

matters.

The firing commenced outside, and from the tracks of horses and men it is evident that a terrific battle ensued.

NEW HAMPSHIRE. The Plermont Tragedy. Piermont, January 28—It is now known that Mrs. Emerson had a very strong aversion for Sawyer. Soon after he arrived in Piermont, and while he was stopping with her father in Lowell, she remarked to her mother that she disliked Sawyer and wished be wouldjreturn home. After Sawyer came to her home she for the first time mentioned to her husband her dislike for the visitor. She said she wished he would go away, and th%t no good would come from bis staying there. Mr. Emerson replied that he would not stay long, and that he did not feel like sending him away. Sawyer’s conduct since the murder has been such as to deprive him of all sympathy. It can not be learned that he has at any time manifested the least feeling of sorrow over the calamity. *He discusses it with entire indifference, and is reported to have said to Mr. Emerson immediately upon the discovery of the murder, that he ought not to take on soffor accidents would sometimes happen. The falsehoood and deceptions which he has exhibited in bis conversation have incensed tbe community. In the first excitement over the murder Sawyer expressed the opinion that Mrs. Emerson committed suicide. Afterward he said he had changed ' his mind and was convinced that she did not take her own life; that he did not know who committed the murder, but that Emerson was the last persbn to go into tbe house. Again he asserted that Emarson might have gone in at tbe north door, of the house, but the tracks there were examined, and they lead awav from the building, and it was remembered that the husbana went out of that entrance in the morning to look after his swine. After saying these things Sawyer stated to County Solicitor Putnam, of Warren, in the presence of others, that Emerson was in the barn when the murder occurred. This is the most importantodmission that the accused has made, ana in the opinion of the public it fastens the guilt conclusively upon him.
