In the morning hour the House re sumed the consideration of the bill to secure ; an equitable classification and compensation of certain officers of the United States. Mr. Bennett, of North Carolina, crit icised the first action of the bill, which authorizes the President to employ three persona not in the public service and two persons who are officers in the service, not more than three of whom' shall be adherents of the same political party, ho shall constitute a commission for the purposes of this act. Why Bhould not the whole commission be of the same political party? queried Mr. Bennett? Were not Democrats the best exponents of Democratic policy? Were not the secretary -of the treasury and the secretary of state as well qualified to deal with this subject as men who were 4iaIf-horBe, half-alligator, and the bal ance snapping turtle?"

Cor. of the News and Observer. Warrknton, N. C, April 4. The heavy rain-storm, which was so very general in the State, visited us last Wednesday, and we had a young flood. It is said that more water fell in Warren from 8.80 a. m. to 12 m. than was ever known in the same length of time. This may or not be true, but we know that much damage was done to the wheat and oat crops and that in many places tobacco beds were seriously damaged, and that it has caused a general suspen sion of all farming operations. A petition, asking the commissioners to order an election in June, for local option has been passed around this week for signatures, and from tbe long list of names, representing all classes and con ditions of our people, there is no doubt but the prayer will be granted. The petition was signed by our worthy and popular druggist. There is some probability of out having a large and flourishing female college soon. Some parties representing the "Christian" church were here this week prospecting, and from what I could learn, if a suitable place could be secured for the erection of the buildings and our citizens would manifest a liberal spirit and sufficient interest, the same would be built at an early day. Our people are anxious for this new and worthy enterprise, and will do their whole duty for its consummation. So we may' soon have a female college. Real estate is in demand and town lots are being sold every day, and soon we shall see several handsome residences where, only a year ago, the most sanguine of our people never dreamed there wonld be dwellings erected. And in this connection, Mr. Editor, permit me to say that property is selling very low, and there never will be a time when bargains can be had as low. And we would in behalf of our people urge any of your readers who would like to settle in one of our healthiest towns in the State and among a people noted for their intelligence, kindness, hospitality and enterprise to come along at once, as property will soon materially advance and the great chance of their life pass unimproved. Mr. Baughm, an old citizen of Wash ington, N. C, and well known in the east, came to our place last fall and pur chased one of the prettiest and most de sirable lots in town, the "Gov. Bell" place. This he is now remodeling and altering, some say for a summer hotel, others for a private residence. De that as it may, after its completion it will be a beauty and one of the attractive fea tures of our place. At a meeting of the citizens a few nights since, for the purpose of nomi eating town officers, our young friend Mr. W. A. Jenkins was unanimously nominated for mayor, which insures his election to this inportant position. Mr. Jenkins is the son of the lamented Col. W. A. Jenkins, who for years filled the position of attorney general of the State. In many respects his son is very much ike him, genial, whole-souled and bril iant, and as the office of mayor has recently been the popular fulcrum to lift into tne presidential cnair, wno xnows but that Warrenton in a few years may be honored by having one of her sons President of these United States. To this not onlv vour corresDondent but the many friends of this worthy young man would cheerfully say -'So mote it be." ! Any less. I.ACKOSSE'S DISASTER. TH City nm-Swpt aad in Dlr Dae- LaCbossx, Wis., April 6. Fire broke out here at 10 o'clock this , fore noon and was still burning and spread ing at 3j p m., with no good prospect of being confined to any particular limit. It began in a saw mill and lumber yard, which were swept away. Another mill and lumber yard next disappeared and the flames spread among the lumber piles and factories in all directions, but their progress was greatest to the south west, lbe fire department was una' li to cope with the conflagration and asi.-t- anoe was sent from Sparta ' and Winona. Milwaukee sent two engines fully man ned, on a special train. The distance is 200 miles. The fire was caused by a spark from a mill-stack or furnace and fanned by a strong north wind , soon got beyond control. The situation at 3 o. m. is as tollows : lhe nre is still raging fiercely and all efforts on the part of the firemen to subdue it are un successful. The wind is still high. A great many streams are playing on the fare. The total area already burned over is five blocks long and a block and a half wide. Besides the extensive lumber mills, great planing mills and factories, a soap factory and immense storehouses filled with seasoned lumber, laths and shingles, eight dwellings were burned. The total loss is placed at from $500,000 to, $1,000,000; only half in sured. One thousand men are thrown out of employment. . Law aad Ordar THE BACKBOSTI 01 TH KANSAS BTKIKK B&OBJLN.
