' frequently formed (the subject of a joke or
flippant remark, than the very general prev-
‘alence of the practice among Congressmen oi

Congress.
It has been the old story in the House
throughout the past week up to Friday,wlien
very unexpectedly the SOuth Americans and
Southern Democrats united upon Mr. Smith
of North Carolina, one of the South Ameriv
cans, and aftei a great deal of coaxing and
driving, the Northern wing of the Democracy
were brought into line and delivered their
vote for Mr. Smith.whereupon 5 Republicans
left Smith, 3 of them wént-back to Sherman,
l to Pennington of New Jersey, and 1 to Cots
win of Ohio. When the vote was announced
' it stood Smith “2, Sherman 106, Corwin 4,
Scattering 6-‘necessary to a choice 115. The
House having been engaged over three hours
on this ballot, immediately adjourned over
to Monday. It is now thought that ‘a Speak-
er will be elected this week. perhaps (at the
present time of writing, Monday noon) one
has already been elected. It is thought th 9.
Sherman would withdraw on the opening of
the House on Monday. and nominate Ex-Gov.
Pennington of New Jersey, who, report says,
is sure of 116 votes.

There are still many rumors in circulation
respecting r. Stevcns and his 848.000, and
although he shows the papers and everything
appears right, yet some think that he has

mistake, in regard to it.
Our Special Correspondent expresses his
delight over the fact that his friend, the Times
Editor, acknowledges the receipt of some
liquid preparation which produced a " sensa-

A Curious Case.
A $3.000 mm. THROUGH run rosr osricn AND
Tun nxranss COMPANY—-ARREST or run
nouns.
A very successful and bold fraud was per-
petrated recently upon the Bank of Norwalk,
Conn:. by which the sum of $3.000 was ob-
taincd by the use of the Post Office and the
Adams Express Company.
The facts, as nearly as we can
thcm. ale substantially as follows :—About
the middle of December last. Mr. F. Halfti-
liams. of this city, addressed a letter to the
Cashier of tlic Nora-alk. (Conn..) Bank. en-
closing a note at thrcc months, for_ $3.000,
endorsed by Charles Johnson, and intended
for discount at the said bank. ' The Cashier,
R. B. Craufurd. Esq., returned the note in a
letter, sent by mail, addressrd to Mr. F A.
Williams, care of CharlesJohnson. New York.
In this letter Mr. Williams was advised th at
if he would make the note for: two months
instead of three. it would be discounted, and
the proceeds returned to him in funds. This
letter Mr. Williams. did not receive, and be
coming impatient. wrote to .thc Cashier on
the 27th to return his note if it could not be
discounted. This letter reached Mr Crauf'urd
by the morning’s mail of the 28th.and in the
afternoon 'of the same day, the note reached
him by 'Adnms &‘ Co.’s Express, accompanied
by the following brief order :
. New Your, Dec. 24th, 1859.
R. B anrunn : ‘ ,
Dunn Sin—Please send by return express,
YourS, the. F. A, WILLIAMS.
The note had been altered so as to read
“ two months” instead Of"'tbree.” as suggest-
ed by the cashier. who, supposing his first
letter returning the note had come to hand
after Mr. Williams’ letter of inquiry had been
written and mailed, put up t"e money in small
bills on that bank, and forwarded the pack-
age by express. as requested. It was called
for soon after it reached the express office in
this city, by the same person whohad left the
note and directions for collection. He .ro-
ceipted for the package in due form, signing
the name of I“. A. Williams, and went his way,
no doubt, rejoicing at his good for'unc thus
far. soon after the discovery of thedraud,
it became apparent that the Cashier’s letter
returning the note to Mr. Williams had been
stolen from the mail or Post Office, and ac
cordingly the whole matter waseplaced in the
handsof J. Holbrook. the well known special
Post Office Agept, who worked very diligent-
ly until succeSs crowned his efforts The de-
tails Of‘ his plane it is not proper to state.but
the result traced this sharp and successful
financial operation to one Henry Williams-
doing business as a wholesale and rated milk
dealer in 37th street, in this city. His arrest
was effected on Saturday week. and the case
will soon be brought before the United States
Commissioner. . '
The details Of this case will show that
" sharp practice.” although generally applied
ty. is not. wholly confined
to the legal fratcrni
‘to them, but is sometimes resorted to by oth-
of our citizens and
ore. to the great detriment
our banking institutions. But, thanks to the
Post Office Department, the vigilance Of some
of its officers, as in this instance. is a trifle
sharper than the sharpest operations of dis
honest outs1ders.—-JV‘. Y. Herald.

THE POST OFFICE CASE.
In the case of the United States agt. Henry

The proceedings of yesterday, when cIOse‘d
looked somewhat. favorable for the discharge
of Williamlf. on the evidence furnished by his
witnesses, that he could not have been at
Adams & Co.'s office at the time stated by wit-
nesses for the prosecution. But the Commis

W
Union, and initiated a system of
government happy and peaceful in its charac-
ter, and which in its operation has conferred .
incstimnble blessings on our country—We rc-
gret that the Territorial policy instituted by ;
our fathers at the dawn of the Republic, and
which “as for so many years successfully ,
perpetual
maintained, should have been hastily, incon- l
sidcrutely, and under no public or pressing
necessity, abandoned.
Rosa/veil, That we deeply deplore and ut-
terly condemn the repeal of the Missouri Com-
promise, regarding it as the wicked and fruit-
i‘ul cause ol all the present strife.
Reno/0rd, That the union of the States will
be best preserved by a scrupulous and faithful
observance of the rights of the States, and of
all constitutional duties and requirements:
we are therefore unequivocally opposed to
any interference by the citizens of any one or
more States with the institutions of another—
but would maintain inviolate the rights and
sovereignty of each and every State and Ter-
ritory, and defend the soil or the same from
lawless invasion.
Resolved, That the recent lawless invasion
of Virginia by ansarmed band, with a view
to molest and disturb a peaceful community
in t e quiet possession of their undo .bted
constitutional rights, like the long continued
and rbpeated invasions of Kansas by
‘armed millions who defrauded that people
of their elections, destroyed the r preper-
ty and murdered the inhabitants, meets
with no approval or justification from us, but,
on the contrary, receives our unqualified cen-
sure and condemnation. '
Resolved, That the course of the Adminis~
traticn press of Connecticut, in villif‘ying the
'State. and assigning it a dishonorable place
in the coufederacy, by representinga majority
of its citizens as abettors of or sympathizing
with insurrection—by eudeavoring to inflict
an enormous injury upon its trade and pros-
perity. for the sake of compelling Northern
business men to belie their political con-
victions—«hows conclusively ' that their
sympathy for traitorous menaces against the
General Government, is allied with a treason-
able disregard to the honor of Connecticut--
and in their pursuit of political plunder, they
exhibit neither loyalty to the State nor love
to the Union. . _ '
Resolved. That the threats constantly made
by leading Democrats in and out of Congress
-to dissolve the Union in case of the election
of a Republican President--which tlire its re-
ceive no rebuke from the Democratic press or
at any Democratic meeting—-brand that party
as’disurganizing and revolutionary. and give
the lie to all its pretended love for the Union
We avow that no puffy-having any confidence
in the soundness of its principles would aim to
succeed by such means ; and we hereby de-
clare our utter contempt for such childish at-
tempts to frighten American freeman and in
finance their votes, and our determination to
use all honorable means to put down the dis
organizers, disunionists, filibusters, and slave
i-y extensionists now in ofilce, and to restore
peace and good government to our country
by the election of a President the opposite in
every particular of tin present incumbent.
' Resolved. That the permanent prosperity of
our country in all sections demands th at
American industry should be protected by a
proper discrimination in the tariff“ of duties
upon imports, and that we shall at all times
advocate and favor the same. ‘
_ Resolved. That the bill which passed the
House of Represmtatives at the last ses-
sion of Congress and was defeated by the De-
nice-r 4;; of theSenate, known as “ the Home-
steadliill”.vould in our opinion prove eminent-
ly beneficial to all the new States and Teri-i-
tories, and to the free labor interests of the
whOle country.and. that we therefore strongly
urge its passage upon the present Congress.
Resolved, 'l but the disgraceful spectacle
now exhibited by the so called National De-
mocracy in the ball of the House of Represen-
tatives in Washington should be reprobated
by every lover of the Union, without respect
to location, and that we approve of the emin-
renlly wise andjudicious course pursued by the
Republicans of that body.
Resolved, That we heartily approve of the
call for the National Convention at Chicago.
regarding it as amply comprehensive to em—
brace all patriotic citizens who are willing to
unite for the purpose of electing a President

It is with pleasure we announce to our

uificent painting of Edingburgh and its envi-
rons, will open at Phenix Hall. next Monday
evening. A variety Of attractions are pre
sented in conjunction with the paintings.—
Lizzie Somcrly, a mOst accomplished vocalist
sings appropriate songs and ballads; Prof.
Woodward. a most dextrous magician appears
at each performance and the entertainment
closes with a Comic TrickPautomime. The e
is certainly a great variety offered for the
trifling sum of 15 cents. This entertainment
has been on pxhibition at‘New Haven for the
last nine days, and the press of that city
speak of it in the highest terms. Brewster’s
Hall, in New Haven has been crowded at
each performance and in some instances. a
great many were obliged to leave unable to
obtain standing room.

A Fugitive Slave.
The Stamford Advocate of Tuesday, reports
the arrest and subsequent release of a fugi-
tive slave in that town. It appears that the
fugitive took passage with 9. Stamford carmau
for Norwalk, but becoming alarmed, fled, and
was pursued under supposition that the was a
burglar. We give the Advocate’s statement
'of the result : '
After some trouble, they trac krd him to the
basement of the Presbyterian Church in Broad
disabled himsell‘that he was taken and brought
to the Town House a prisoner. ‘
Au excited ciowd began to pour into the
room, where the. negro. trembling lll every
fibrc,was subject to all sorts of questionsfrom
all sorts of men, to which he replied respect-
fully and promptly. though his replies were
often contradictory.
After hearing all he had to say, it became
the generally received opinion that his name
was Henry :, that be had been till!- f‘ ghattel”
of ode John White, who resides a few miles
from Charlestown,Va., that Henry escaped
by concealing himself, 'or ,being concealed
under a bed. on board of a trading vessel
bound north. (ol’th‘e name of the vessel or
captain he was or professed himselfignorant,)
that he was on his way to the " frec soil” of
Canada.and in mortal fear lest he should be
overtaken and carried back to slavery.
The crowd at- the 't‘ownllall becamcso gi‘cat
that he was taken to the upper room of Water-
bury’sSaloon,where he was detained and goat-
ded by Messrs. Charles E. Lockwood and Fe-
ter ltoonev, to answer to the charge of break-
ing the church windows. ‘
Mr. Wells R. Ritcli, one of the Ofiicers of
the church, was informed of the facts, and re-
plied that he had no complaint to make..and
suggested that Mr. Alex. Milne,.oue_ of ,thc
trustees, was the proper person to be consult-
ed in the matter. Mr. Milne being in New
York,it was thought best to detain the pris-
ei until‘he'returned. , 4
‘ When that gentleman was informed of the
circumstances of ‘the transaction. he thought
that no bl: me attached to the negro.aud it ll 0
‘had'broken all the windows in the church, un-
der the circumstances he should in. kc no
complaint. Accordingly, the fugitive -was_set
at liberty, and in the morning furnished with
a ticket over the “Underground Railroad.”

romance,as we can plainly sec to what an

the “ Iron Bridge” smoke was discovered
issuing from one of the cars, . when the

fire extinguished. After sometim spent
in trying to discover where the fire origi-

out of a barrel of “bottled beer,” which,
after being Carefully overhauled disclosed,
commonly called a “ blbw lamp,” steadily
burning, and surrounded with combusti-

liquid tar. The fire had burnt through
several

at New York, consigned to a firm in
