He will make a prompt and courteous mag istrate, and the interests of the city will be safe ia hia hands. - The City Civil Engineer, the Fire En ftineer, the Street Commissioner, and the Marshal now in office, were all renomi sated Marshal Exonxn and Street , Commissioner Auxiller without aerious opposition, and Messrs. Bowkit and Hxuf- moxbr without any opposition whatever, This ia a rery satisfactory indorsement of the official acta of these gentlemen. The Trustee of the Water Works, William B. IIatdkx, Esq , waa nominated without opposition. He stands well in the community as a discreet business man of high personal integrity , As City Solicitor, Francis Collets, Esq.,' waa renominated. He has filled the office one term, and acquitted himself well. He is a good lawyer, of first-rate kueineaa qualifications, and will serve the city faithfully. ' ' We have so apaoe to refer to the ward and township nominations at this time. As a whole we believe they are entitled to the support of the party on the ground of their individual competence as well as for political reasons. There were polled at the primary election in the contest for Mayor 2,202 votes, only falling behind the Democratic vote at the last general election 800. It is clear the nominations represent the wishes of the party. They were all fairly made no complaint of fraud ia uttered. The whole ticket should receive the undivided support of the Omoeracy of Columbus. This is a good time to make a "new departure" by standing np for the nominees, and discouraging all attempts at bolting within the ranks. A general and hearty support of the ticket will strengthen the Democracy for the fall campaign, and that is a "point of greater Importance than any issue involved in this canvass. The trouble in Aarkansas between the carpet-baggers has been funnily adjasted, Clayton has nominated and the Senate confirmed Johnson, the Lieutenant Governor, as Secretary of State. He accepted the post, and the Senate then elected Hadlxy, friend of Clayton's, presiding o Si oar. Then ClaytojC once more enters the field as a candidate for United States Senator, a position he resigned to prevent Johnson becoming . Governor. They are a precious pack of scoundrels, every one of them,- and illastrate the virtues of earpet-baggery about as well as the Yahoos in South Carolina.

HATCHING DKVILMBNT. , The joint committee appointed by the Republican caucus of the House and Senate held a meeting yesterday morning and another last night. In the morning there was a general interchange of opinion on the part of members, and a some what wide ditlerence of views wss broaght out, but nothing settled. - Last night the general features of a measure were taken into consideration, and the constitutionality of various propositions discussed. Another meeting will be held this morning, when it is expected all the principles and details will be agreed upon, and a bill made ready to oner in both Houses. NOT A VERY LIKELY STORY. The Herald" special says : It is under stood that Senator Cameron will to-day resign his position as chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, on the ground that his health will not permit him to assume such laborions duties. Mr. Cameron is anxious to be chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Elections. whictt Mr. Sumner declined. Senator Harlan is the next man on the Commit tee on Foreign Relations to Cameron, but being onairman of tna Committee on In dian Affairs, he cannot accept the chairmanship of the Foreign Relations Committee. It is probable that Mr. Morton, the third member of the committee, will be made chairman. NEW REVENUE STAMP. The Commissioner of Internal Reve nue has ordered tbe preparation ol a new stamp of the denomination of six cents. NOMINATIONS BY THE PRESIDENT. The following nominations were sent to the Senate to-day : Walter N. Smith, Assistant Attorney General of the United States ; William McMichael, Solicitor of Internal Revenue; D. 8.

REPUBLICAN CAUCUS ON SOUTHBRN AF FAIRS. The committee appointed by the Sen ate Republican caucus to frame a bill for the better preservation of lito and prop erty in the South, reported to a meeting held this aiternoon, recommending substantially the adoption by the caucus of wuat is known as tne liutler bill, lue report of the committee gave rise to a discussion which lasted nearly three hours, strong opposition being manifest ed to both the judicial and military features of the bill, and finally the caucus adjourned, without action, nntil 1 o'clock to-morrow. It ia the general impression that a majority of the caucus will then direct tne bill to be introduced for passage in the Senate without mate rial modincations. XLII. CONGRESS. Waskinotok, March 14, 1871. SENATE. ' After reading the journal ' the Senate took up the resolution from the House for the final adjournment to-morrow, the lotn inst. Mr. Morton moved to lay the resolu tion on the table. . Carried ayes 32, nays 13. Ma. sumner presented a memorial trom the exiled citizens of San Domingo, who had been driven from their homes by Basz. They opposed annexation. Mr. Sherman raised a point of order, before the petition had been half finished, that it was against the nsages of the Senate to have papers of this character presented from foreigners, in which he was sustained by the Chair, who insisted that the ruling must be observed, and that Mr. Sumner should proceed no further with reading his paper. Mr. Frelineunysen ottered a resolution calling on the Secretary of State for information as to what States, if any, have ratified the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution since his proclamation of March 30, 1870. Adopted. The House bill to repeal the duty on coal was read the first time, when Mr. Hamilton objected to its second reading, and it was laid over. Mr. Sherman, from the Committee on Finance, reported a bill to authorize the re-issue of National Bank notes in exchange for mutilated bills Tbe bill passed. Mr. fratt caiiea up nis cm ior tne pro tection of settlers on publio lands, and read a lengthy prepared argument in its advocacy, ana Mr. fomeroy replied. The bill was then laid aside, and Mr. Anthony's resolution confining the busi ness to legislation upon Ku-Klux outrages was taken up, pending which the Senate adjonrned. HOUSE OK REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Poland offered a joint resolution authorizing the commission appointed to revise tbe statutes to print their reports. In response to a question, he said be believed that before the adjournment of this Congress we shall have a complete re vision ot tne laws. no inougnt all tne general laws of the country could be compressed in two volume, exclusive of treaties. The joint resolution passed. Mr. Cox offered the following and de manded the previous question : Resolved, That economy requires tliat the annual taxation should not exceed t-250,000,000, including $25,000,000 principal of the publio debt. Jiesoicea, mat inn tana suouiu oe ior revenue only, and not for the protection of class interests at the general expense. Retolvtd, That in case the session ad journed without the appointment of the Ways and Means Committee, a special committee of seven be appointed to consider and report npon a reform of our revenue, and such bill or bills embodying a revenue tariff on the foregoing principles as will best carry the same into practical effect ; and in case said Committee of Ways and Means be appointed this session, that then said committee shall perform the duties required by this reso lotion. Mr. Kelly objected to the resolutions, snd, therefore, were not entertained. They were ordered to be printed. The House then proceeded to the consideration of the bill heretofore introduced by Mr. Beck, to remove all political disabilities. Mr. Beck said, after consulting with members he was convinced that the bill removing disabilities from all men could not obtain the requisite vote of . two-thirds. He was, therefore, disposed to admit the amendment of Mr. Poland, making exceptions, believing aa a wiser man than bimself bad said, it is a settled rule to make the most of an actual situation, and never hesitate to do a proper thing because he could not do all he desired. After debate, a vote was taken on the bill as amended. Mr. Beck'a bill is as follows : n Bt it tmaeted, etc.. That all legal and political disabilities imposed by the third section of the fourteenth article of the amendment to the Constitution of the United States on persons therein men tioned, because of their having engaged in insurrection or rebellion aarainst the United States, or given aid and comfort to the enemies thereof, be and the same are nereoy removed. j Mr. Poland moved to amend bv adding .. eolged, That this act shall not apply to, or in any way affect or remove the disabilities or any persons included in either of the folio wine classes: 1. Mem bers of Congress of the United States wnowitndrew tnerefrom and aided tbe rebellion. S. Officers of the army or navy ot the United States above the age of 81, who left said army or navy and aided in the rebellion. 3. Members of State Conventions which adopted the pretended ordinances of secession, and who voted for. the adoption of such ordinances. The amendment was agreed to 123 to 57. The question was then taken on the passage of the bill as amended, and resulted as follows yeas 120, nays 62. Two-third not having voted for the bill, the speaker declared it rejected.

The incomplete vote of this city indi cates a plurality for Ball, Democrat, for Congress, over Stevens, in the Second district, and leaves the result in doubt.

M. the returns from fifty-four towns foot np 919 net Democratic gain, and sixty towns show Pike to be 120 ahead of Weston. The complexion of the House is not yet determined, but the prospects are that the Senate will be Democratic. Owing to the large Demo cratic gains in Grafton oounty, the Republicans fear the defeat of General Griffin in the Third Congressional dis trict, though but few returns of his vote have yet been received. Returns from one hundred and five towns give Pike 13,011; Weston, 18,220; Cooper, 219; scattering, 11C Tbe Republican loss is 1,257. Weston in these towns falls short 121 of a majority. NEW YORK.

The flames spread rapidly, and it was impossible to rescue the horses, and fifty poor animals were roasted alive in their stables. The cries of the animals in their torture were terrible. The rolling stock of the Company was saved in perfect condition, and the machinery was but little damaged. From a hasty examination, the directors set the loss down at $20,000. They are insured for $40,000. FRENCH RELIEF AFFAIRS. The French Relief Committee of the Chamber of Commerce have received a telegram from the Treasurer, Charles Lanier, now in London, dated the 13th, stating that the London committee is doing efiicient work, and the practical application of relief is going on promptly and energetically.

C, March t, 1871. There was more than an ordinary sen sation created here to-day in legislative and judicial circles, which will no doubt result in another impeachement trial be fore the Senate. During the proceedings in the House a member arose with a newspaper in his hand and stated that it contained a report of a magistrate's court which attributed the grossest mis conduct to one of the Superior Court Judges, and .which demanded immediate investigation,. ' In the course of his re marks the member, who was a Republican, said that, according to the published statement, Judge E. W. Jones, of the second judicial distriot, Has been guilty of the vilest immorality, the details of wruon were snockins to contemplate casting a foul stain upon the judicial ermine, and, in snort, bringing tue entire Republican judiciary of the State into disrepute.

McMamara is a Re publican, as well as the judicial culprit who was arraigned before him on charges preferred by the SABLE DAMSEL. The complaint in the case states that the sable Sarah Tilghman, who resided at the town of flymouth, in Washington county, was sent for by the defendant, also a resident ot said town, on tne evening of Friday, the 17 th of Febtuary last, about the hour of eight o clock. Having been on the most intimate terms with the Judge, to whom she admitted she had frequently dispensed her favors, she at once complied witn the message, and re paired to his residence. When she ar rived, however, much to her surprise and disappointment, she found the defendant at borne but in a leanul STATE OF INTOXICATION. which, nnder the peculier circumstances of the case, she did not much relish. The judicial defendant asked her to spend the nignt tnere, ana at nrst sne objected, owing to his inebriate condition, but at length yielding to his importunities sne consented, and, in Her own language, AN ARRANGEMENT was effected between them. After a stay of a considerable period, says the sable Sarah, "I found him too drunk and an noying.and I refused to stay any longer. I then attempted to leave tne room ana go home, whereupon the Judge threw me npon his bed and struck me several blows upon the head and person, and so choked me. tnougn l struggled violently, tnat x soon lost all consciousness. As soon as I revived I again endeavored to resist his importunities with all the strength I was capable ot, wnen be drew a pistol and presented it, threatening my lite. To aid my escape I cried out that THE SHERIFF was at the door, which so alarmed the Judge that it half sobered him, and in bis irignt ne opened tne door, tnrougn which Sarah then fled his premises. This did not end the scene, for the Judge pursued her to tho gate, and in her hasty flight Sarah left npon the railings portions of her dress, which she stated freely to Justice McNainara was a present from his Judgeship for former LIKE SERVICES. The complainant was examined and sub jected to a strict cross-examination, and tne tacts above stated were aisiincciy re peated by her. The defendant, Judge Jones, conducted his defense in person, and notwithstanding all his judicial tact and the continual shaking of his forensio finger at the witness, she did not vary an iota nor oontraaiob iuo iiestiuiuoy mafi was iriven. As a last resort, and while driven to his wits' end to save himself from ETERNAL DISGRACE, the Judge finally asked Sarah these ques tions : "Were yon at a ball on Thursday night last, given at the residence of Mrs. , colored T" Sarah "I was." Q. "Were you escorted home from the ball, arm-in-arm by Mr. Justice McNa-mara, and did you spend the night with him f" To the latter question Sarah was about to reply, but before the affirmative, which . . - . i ,. seemed do coming, escaped ner ups, the Justice rnled that the testimony was irrelevant and could not be admitted. Judge Jones, the defendant, contended that the question was pertinent as tending to show the character of the witness, and urged that it be put. The Justice ruled otherwise, and accordingly excluded the testimony. With a grave and dignified aspect Justice McNainara then rendered judgment in the case, which was that the defendant give bonds in the penalty of five hundred dollars for his appearance at the next term of his, THE DEFENDANT'S, OWN COURT, to be held at Plymouth on Monday, the 20th inst , and, in consideration of his high judicial position, and his exceed-ly inebriate condition, that he have nntil - . . . . r . . .1 . 1 I IU o clock on juonaay io nuu tuerequireu security.

RBIiK OF TERROR. Terrible Figkt ia a Jtleridlaa Court Bssa-Fssr Negroes nnd one Wnite Jits Killed Tke Wlnjor Forced to nr. Correspondence of the New Tork York Son Meridian, Miss., March 6, 1871. Your correspondent arrived in this city last evening, and found the place in a frightful state of excitement. Tbe hostility between the whites and blacks culminated yesterday in a terrible fight, which resulted in the death of one white man and four negroes. For a long time trouble had been apprehended, and to the blacks are attribated all the fearful scenes which have been enacted here for the past fonr days. The blacks had openly threatened to burn the town They had appeared on several oocasions on the streeta luuy armea. xney naa openly sworn that they would annihilate the white population of the city. Foremost among the leaders of the blacks were William Clopton, una r ora, ana Warren Tvler. On the evening of March 4 tho negroes. 1 pnt their oft-repeated threats into execution by burning a block of houses in the heart of the city. This involved a loss to the citizens of $75,000, on which there was only $28,000 insurance. Yesterday morning William Clopton -was brought into court and accused of riotous conduct at the fire. During the examination of witnesses, Warren Tyler drew a revolver. A horrible scene followed. The room was filled with whites and blacks, and both races began an indiscriminate firing of pistols, guns, etc. Jndge Bramlette, an old and respected citizen, who was attending conrt as a spectator, was accidentally killed by a shot from the negro Tyler. The whites now became furious. Tyler, after discharging several shots. jumped trom the window of the conrt house and ran to the street . He was pursued, and on his refusal to surrender was instantly killed. Clopton and Ford were killed in the court house. The troubles are attributed in a great measure to the Mayor of the city one William Sturges, who, it is reported, had influenced the minds of the negroes. Im mediately after the fight, a meeting of citizens was held, and a large number desired to kill tbe Mayor. - On putting the question to a vote the meeting refused by a majority of one hundred to sanction such a course. Stnrges agreed to leave the city by the first train for the North, ana at two o'clock tne next morning, escorted by a squad, of three hundred armed men, be went to the depot, and took the cars for New York. The citv is still in a state of intense excitement Business is suspendel and. another out break is apprehended. United States troops are expected here to'day. TELEGRAMS IN BRIEF.
