THE

alarm of fire that was sounded

yesterday afternoon was occasioned by the "burning out" of a flue on North Fourth street. No damage done.

A I'ENi'itious "parient" of a handsome and gushing daughter of Parke county has brought suit against his prospective son-in-law for rent of front room, feeding of horse, cider, apples and lunches, while courting the fair damsel. The old gent lays claims to damage in the sum ot $109. Moral—boys, be careful how you indulge in this luxury.

"GIVES 'EM Firs."—Clark, Wright & Co., who hold forth on Ohio street, opposite the Mayor's office, know how to run the boot and shoe business. They have recently enlarged their place of business, and have just received a most elegant stock of boots and shoes from the East, and now have on hand an inexhaustible supply and endless variety of goods in their line. While their custom department is all that could be desired, they have in their employ the best workmen in the business, who are ever busily engaged filling their numerous orders that daily come in upon them. They make a specialty in making moroco boots to order and we will attest that they cannot be excelled in the neat and handsome fits they always give us. Try them.

LITTLE WOMEN.—Three little girls were playing in the back yard of one of our first families not long since. Two of them were "making believe" keep house, a little way apart, as near neighbors might. At last one was overheard saying to the youngest of the lot, "There, now, Nelly, you go over to Sarah's liou.se and stop there a little while, and talk as fast as you can, and then you come back and tell me what she says about me, and then I'll talk about her and then you will go and tell her all I say, and then we'll get as mad as [hornets and won't speak when we meet, just as our mother's do, you know and that'll be such fun—won't it Havn't these little mischiefs lived to some purpose? and were they not close observers and apt scholars, charmingly trained for the chief business of life in a small neighborhood

YE3TEUDAY morning about oneo'clock a young man, who had no doubt been indulging in lobsters, tripe and cold slaw in injudicious quantities and at an unseemly hour the previous evening, and who was endeavoring to snatch a few hours of sleep before the business of another day should require his attention, put in an appearance at the office door of the National House and in a very excited manner commenced knocking on and kicking the door, and persevered until lie had aroused the night watchman of the establishment, to whom he revealed the startling information that burglars were trying to break into Tuttle's tea store, and that he had been vainlv endeavoring to arouse a policeman. Being now reinforced, the young man made another fruitless endeavor to attract the attention of a policeman, not daring to call very loud for fear of disturbing the burglar The couple despairing of arousing a "star," held a council of

war,

and resolved that 1 hey would arm themselves and foil the scoundrels in their supposed designs of carrying off Tuttle's tea store. Accordingly one of them secured a scrcw-driver and the other a hatchet, and immediately they assumed a stooping posture and commenced to creep in the direction of the place where the dyspeptic young man heard the strange sounds coming from, upon which place they cautiously advanced, reaching there just before break of day, as they did not want to disturb the lawless scoundrels until they were close enough to prevent their escape. Finally upon reaching the scene of the disturbance, they cautiously peered around in the rear of the store and there discovered a couple of old coivs licking the door and occasionally striking it with their horns, and the two brave youths silently returned from the scene of the burglary i" a much shorter space of time than they came, whistling, "put me in my little bed."

Horace Mann was onoo seated in an omnibus with a young man, who coolly took out a cigar, lit a match, and put the cigar in his mouth. Mr. Mann stoppod the coach and insisted that the young man should be ejected for disobeying the rules. He was not pacified until the owner of the cigar touched tho indignant reformer's hand with the uncharred end, in proot that the cigar had never been lighted and Mr. Mann, loth to lose an opportunity to impress moral truth upon a wayward youth, turned around and lootured him severely upon the vice of deception.

A story comfcs from Aberdeen, Scotland, of a young girl who fell in love with a coal black negro, the first of his race she had ever seen. She became so demonstrative towa ds the object of her passion that to avoid disgraceful consequences her friends induced the Afric.au to leave the country, but when the infatnated girl discovered what had been done she took toiler bed, refused all food, and finally died of sheer starvation.

Diplomatic intercourse at Versailles is represented to be extremely difficult. LONDON, March 29.—A special dispatch to the Daily News, from Brussels, says that an Arab chief, Sadi Mokrani, with -10,000 troops, is within 25 leagues of Algiers, and lias declared war against France.

WASHINGTON, March 30.—The San Domingo Commissioners' report, which is nearly finished, was submitted to the President yesterday, and it is understood will be sent to Congress to-day. The Commissioners, or at least two of them, contemplated spending a couple of weeks here, in elaborating their report, but the report prepared by Mr. Wade gives all the facts as called for by the resolution of Congress under which the Commission was appointed. Mr. Wade is the guest of Senator Chandler, and Dr. Howe and Prof. White are at the Arlington. The President has invited the Commission to to dine with him on Thursday. Pending the presentation of their report, the Commissioners are disposed to be very reticent upon the subject of annexation. The other members of the Commission are not so pronounced in their opinions. One of the Commissioners said to-night that if the country expected the report of the Commission to be an argument in favor of annexation, it would be disappointed. Less attention is paid to that subject in the report than to any other connected with the business of the Commission.

NEW YOIUC, March 30.—The Times' Washington correspondent telegraphs that after it was determined that Mr. Sumner's speech was to be made, Senator Buckingham is said to have gone to him and entreated him to include in it a paragraph disclaiming any purpose or feeling of hostility toward the Republican party, so that his speech could not be used against the success of the party iu the election in Connecticut next Monday. Governor Buckingham foresaw that unless Sumner drew in his speech a sharp line between the party and the Administration, the effect in that htate, of his

fierce

arraignment, would be deepty felt. Sumner said he would ittake into consideration, and having done so, next dayhe declined absolutely to comply with the request, and it will be noticed tlm* no such disclaimer appears.

WASHINGTON, March

2fi.

Senate.'

The Senate took up, in the morning hour, Mr. Anthony's resolution to amend the order of business, so that any hill on the South passed by the House of Representatives may be considered at the present session. After considerable discussion the subject went over without actiou, by expiration of the morning hour, and the San Domingo discussion re-

Schurz resumed the floor, and pro

to argue that the annexation of

Texas furnished no precedent or justification for the belligerent interference of the President to protect Dominica against Hayti. One of the leading objects of the Sau Domingo expedition seemed to have been to protect Baez from his own subjects In this connection he was reminded of a statement made yesterday by the Senator from Wisconsin (Howe) that

Baez in the matter of annexation was influenced by purely patriotic and unselfish motives, believing such a step would bring peace to his countrymen. He (Schurz) had read a newspaper abstract of the forthcoming reportof theCommissioners, and lie there found an interesting exhibition of a sublime want of selfishness in that pure patriot Buez. He there found among other items in the bill to be paid by the United States, $700,000 for property destroyed by Spaniards and S'JUO,OOl) back salaries. How the heart of thai patriot ached to sacrifice its possessions torthe welfare of his fellow-citizens, with the snug sum of 3700,000 in his pocket and $000,0'U to be divided among his brothers and relations, who mainly constituted the Dominican police lorce.

In regard to the Secretary of the Navy, the Senator from New Jersey (Frelinghuysen) asked for the reading yesterday ot'a remarkable dispatch lroin that official to Admiral Lee, with an air which seemed to say that it completely disposed of the whole subject. In that dispatch the Secretary had the eft'rontry to put over his own signature, the statement that tiie Executive Department had not chosen to take part, in the internal affairs1 of the Dominican Republic. This was in face of instructions issued by the

t|ie

Navy Department on the occasion of a threatened a.tack by Lupercon upon the Baez faction. Rockets were given them from the United States vessel Congress, to signal that ship for relief if an attack was'm.ade. nniuicans were afraid of tiiese tilings, andsetoneof them off to see what it would do, and then a boat load of men armed with muskets put off from the Congress for the shore. Whether they landed or not, he did not know, but the Secretary of the Navy was probably by this time iu receipt of intelligence. The whole letter of the Secretary to Admiral Lee was such a jumble of constitutional doctrines, and such a remarkable representation of facts and precedents that it was properly addressed to seamen, for the Secretary of the Navy probably considers it well to tell that story to marines. (Laughter.) The Secretary of the Navy was in great danger of acquiring the reputation of a profound constitutional lawyer among sailors, and a mighty sailor among constitutional lawyers. (Great laughter.) To further by force of arms the pet scheme of the White House, in which Congress nor the people of the United States had shown the least interest, the war powers had been usurped, the constitution invaded in one of its most and vital features, and the dignity of the country put in jeopardy in a reckless manner. He (Schurz) would say to Senators who had undertaken the task of defending these things, that they had undertaken an utterly hopeless task, and to all appearances an impossible one. However deeply the Senator from Wisconsin (Howe) might dive into ancient lore, and however frequently the Senator from Indiana (Morton) might quote Calhoun's dispatch in the case of Texas, they could not justify what was wrong, nor defend what was indefensible. Gentlemen should give it up and let the case stand or fall upon its own merits. Others might follow the footsteps of those who had spoken, and abuse the Senator from Massachusetts more bitterly than has yet been done, but their abuse would not altera single fact in the case, nor close the eye to a single honest and patriotic motive. Recently he (Schurz) had expressed some anxiety lest annexation in the tropics should lead to military usurpation. Was there anv one on the floor who would deny it? Senators had spoken of extending the blessings of republican government to San Domingo. He would respectfully suggest to those Senators that it was time to see to it that the integrity of the republican government be preserved at home. Putting the most charitable construction upon the course of the President, calling it not a crime nor misdemeanor, but an involuntary mistake, still the great dutv remained for Congress to vindicate the Constitution of the United States. Had the President grown so great that he must submit, or had Congress grown so small that they did not dare protest. The Senator from Wisconsin (Howe) had likened the Senator from Massachusetts, (Sumner) to Brutus, but he should have remembered that the dagger of Brutus was not leveled at his party, but that the weapon

went

straight

to the heart of Ctesar, and the Senator would remember that the world had since agreed to call Brutus the noblest Roman of them all. [Applause in the galleries]—The Vice President rapping order. How could Senators who voted, to impeach Andrew Johnson on testimony vague and uncertain, now do less dim vote tor these resolutions to cheek Grant? Referring to various historical instances in which distinguished military chieftains had proven lamentable failures in civil administration, he said the military exploits of the Duke of Wellington did not save his dwelling at a later day from being pelted with stones by the populace because of his ministerial policy. Though a great General, the Duke of Wellington turned out a blundering Minister. Similar instances of military incompetency in civil affairs, and the summary punishment inflicted for such a crime in ancient times, were referred to. He appealed to the supporters of the President not to make San

Domingo a test of party fealty, for no party could bear the load of such a wrong. The Republican .party could not afford to place itself in the attitude of having committed these acts, but should leave the responsibility for them with the President alone, where it belongs.

Mr Morton said he had referred yesterday to the fact that while negotiations* were pending for annexation of Texa*

Mexico

had been notified that no

hostile demonstration on her part would be permitted toward Texas. Senator Schurz had denied that any threat of war was then uttered against Mexico. He (Morton) reiterated that, the whole tenor of the dispatches at that

time, that

wa-sa plain intimation to Mexico any demonstration on her part ag Texas would be reviewed act of war. In support construction he read dispatches referred to, and also from confirmatory remarks make by Mr. Benton in the Senate many years later. He then quoted from Texas history, to tlie effect that in reply to a confidential question, Mr. Upsur, then Secretary of State, said that as soon as the treaty of annexation was signed, the Uuited States would send sufficient force to protect

against is an of this the dis-

flexas..frcm

gression. Mr Schurz said the difference between the cases of Texas aud San Domingo was, that iu the former a diplomatic threat was addressed to Mexico, a thing destitute of significance, but in the case of San Domingo a military order was issued.

,. ..

Mr. Morton replied that was a distinction without a difference. In the case of Texas the United States forces had been promptly ordered to the Texan coast, to there act as emergency might require.

A further controversy ensued between Morton and Schurz, as to the analogy between the two cases.

The Vice President here informed the Senate that he had received a letter from General Cabral in reference to the statements made by the Senator from Massa-

ehusetts, (Sumner.) He had shown the allow me an opportunity for reply ietter to the Senator, but had not laid it1 before the Senate.

Mr. Morton. Let us have it read. Mr. Hamlin. I don't think it ought to Kp rno/'l llPFP

Mr. Sumner. I would be glad to have it read here, and I think the petition presented by me the other day, from many exiled Dominicans suffering from the tyranny of Baez, should be read.

The Vice President stated that he had declined to lay the letter before the Senate, for the same reason that he had excluded the memorial of the Senator from Massachusetts, both being from persons not American citizens.

The Vice President stated that he had declined to lay the letter before the Senate for the same reason he had excluded the memorial of the gentleman from Massachusetts—both being from persona not American citizens.

Mr. Harlan then addressed the Senate in reply to the speech of Mr. Sumner. He had carefully read every line of the fifteen columns of that Senator's elaborate speech, and he had found that the whole speech, the whole charge, the whole foundation for the grave arraignment of the President was a single paragraph in the instructions to our naval commanders iu the vicinity of Dominica, directing them to preserve peace during the pending negotiations between Dominica and the United States. Not one belligerent act had been committed, not

tleman from Massachusetts, Mr. Sumner, been silent as to all their wholesale denunciations to the San Domingo What was the solution of it? The gentleman from Missouri had shown it. He had compared Grant to Wellington, who was a great soldier but a very poor minister therefore these two Senators thought that General Grant was a good soldier but not fit to be President. They were willing that all the honors should be showered upon him as a soldier but none as a civilian. They wauted to break down the hold of the President upon the country -they wanted to defeat his re-nomination and to secure the Executive choice for one of themselves or one of their friends, because a few Postmasters in Missouri, the friends of Senator Schurz, had been dismissed.

Mr. Schurz, interrupting, here stated, with much wrath and emphasis, that this wastue first time to his knowledge such an imputation upon his motives had been attempted. He desired to say the charge was absolutely unfounded. Senator Harlan's respect for human nature must be very meagre when he believes that a man holding the honored and responsible position of Senator of the United States could be influenced in his oJttcial course by motives so miserable. [Murmurs of approval in the galleries.]

an fired, and not one drop of blood eral Senators—"question, question."] shed. Mr. Sumner here remarked by his rcadingof the Constitution the war making power was conferred exclusively upon Congress. Senator Harlan must either admit that the President usurped this power or else blot out the records of the Navy Department. The fact that no blood had been shed in this unlawful despotism did not lessen the enormity of its iruilt.

Mr. Harlan continued. He said We had always treated with the Indians as independent nations, and had carried on numerous wars against them, yet Congress had never lormally declared war against any of these tribes. Then, too, the first battle of Mexico was fought before Congress took any notice of the condition of war between Mexico and the United States.

Mr. Thurman remarked that'" the his name.

reason was because Mexico began the war. Mr. Harlan said he had also heard of the bombardment of the Japanese ports

Mr. Harlan replied he had not stated his conclusions upon the premises he was laying down when interrupted, and that the Senator from Missouri had too hastily jumped to the conclusion that the integrity of his motives were assailed. But why did the Senator deny such a charge in advance of its being made?

Mr. Schurz. Does the Senator pretend that his conclusions was not that which I have stated. If he wants to crawl out of it I will give him that opportunity.

The Vice President. The Chair desires to say to the Senator from Missouri, to impute to a member a desire to crawl out of a statement is not parliamentary.

Mr. Schurz was understood to say that he cheerfully submitted to thejudgment of the Ciiair.

Mr. Harlan preferred that a Senator should use language that best suited his taste. He had not charged that the Senator's judgment was intentionally warped by such consideration, but the point he was about making was, that the country had a right to judge of the sincerity of the Senator's course and believe for themselves how far he was influenced by motives. The Senators from Missouri and Massachusetts had claimed to be friends of General Grant, but the President might well say, "Save me from my friends," for lie had been charged by these pretended friends with offenses in comparison with which the misdemeanors of Andy Johnson were as wliite as snow.

Mr. Harlan then read from Mr. Sumner's speech characterizing President Grant as the head of the Dominican Ku-

(Sumner) worse than the Democratic Ku-Klux,who assassinate under cover of night,and to devise some means for whose suppression Congress was now staying here for days and weeks, yet the Senator called himself the friend of the Administration. Admitting the Senator's case to be made out, the whole burden of President Grant's offense was that he would not permit the Black Republic of Hayti to cut the throats of the Dominicans during the progress of treaty negotiotions with the United States. Was there any crime in this

Mr. Sherman (aside). "Has any one complained of it?" Mr. Sumner, (to Mr. Sherman). I can answer that.

Mr. Harlan denied that any one had complained, except, perhaps, Cabral. Referring to the precedent which had been cited for the President's action, he held that in the case of Texas a solemn promise was given to the Texau Republic that the moment they signed the treaty, and before it was ratified, they should be protected by the United States. Calhoun, though poor authority on the question of State rights, was a very able man, and his spirit today was the very soul ot the Democratic narty, and Calhoun's argument on the dispatch to Mexico, already quoted, was that we had such an inchoate right that we would not permit Texas to be invaded while negotiations were pending.

contended that there was

no escape from this position that the argument on the point was conclusive, he then quoting from "Benton's Thirty Years in the Senate" on the point, and concluded by moving to lay the resolution on the table.

Mr. Sumner. I hope the Senator will

Several Senators. "Question." "Question*" The Vice President here stated the motion, and then asked the Senator from Iowa (Mr. Harlan) whether he insisted on it.

Mr. Harlan. I must insist upon it. The honorable gentleman (Mr. Sumner) has been heard. All the way through my speech I have not objected to his presenting any questions, and I have attempted to answer al! he has put.

Renewed calls for the question by Messrs. Conkiing, Edmunds and others, during which Mr. Sumner strove to get the floor, and continued to address the Chair.

Mr. Sumner. The Senator knows— The Vice President. The motion is not debatable. The Senator from Iowa insists upon it, aud has resumed his seat. The question must be decided by the Senate.

The question being here put, the Chair declared that the ayes appeared to have it.

Mr. Sumner. I call for the ayes and nays. Mr. Edmunds have the

Yes, let us

Mr. Thurman. I ask consent to put one question. [Cries of no, no.] Mr. Sherman. I object.

The Vice President here rapped to order with the gravel, but above the noise and confusion, Mr. Thurmau's voice was indistinctly heard. He wanted to know if ever before there was a case in the Senate where the mover of a resolution was not allowed to close the debate on it.

Mr. Conkiing objected to Mr. Thurmau's proceeding. The Vice President. The resolutions prohibit debate on this motion.

Mr. Sumner. Will the President? The Vice President. The Senator from Massachusetts is not in order. Objection has been made by several Senators to any debate, and the roll call and the Senator from Mississippi has answered to

Mr. Sumner, (still on his feet) I did not know that the Senator—

Mr. Edmunds. object to debate of any kind. Mr. Sumner (repeating.) I did not know

The Vice President. The Senator from Massachusetts is aware of the rules, and

Mr. Sumner. Not at all. I did not know but the Senator might withdraw his motion.

Mr. Conkiing. I object to this. The Vice President. The Chair asked the gentleman from Iowa expressly whether he would withdraw his motion, and he said he would not. He said this in the hearing of the Senator from Massachusetts. The roll call will be resumed.

The Clerk proceeded with the roll call, when Mr. Harlin's motion to lay on the table was carried by ayes 39, nays 16.

The only Republicans voting no were Messrs. Patterson, Robertson, Schurz and Sumner. The negative vote in the debate was as follows: Messrs. Blair, Casserly, Cooper, Davis of Kentucky, Davis of West Virginia, Hamilton of Maryland, Kelly, Patterson, Robertson, Sauisbury, Schurz, Stevenson, Stockton, Sumner and Thurman.

Mr. Bayard, opposed to laying on the table, was paired with Mr. Carpenter on the other side.

Absent ami not voting—Messrs. Bayard, Caldwell, Carpenter, Fenton, Ferry, of Connecticut, Flanagan, Lewis, Logan, Morrill, of Maine, Morrill, of Vermont, Scott, Spencer, Tipton, Vickersand Wilson.

Mr. Sherman's resolution instructing the Judiciary Committee to report a bill to suppress disorders in the South was taken up and the Senate at 4:40 adjourned.
