Hut M. Or?ry, sticking to his point. Insisted that, ?mee
the Assembly bau solemnly declared ltselt Ooattllaent,
ha (ouid not softer tht- speaker to go Into the qaestiOI.
To this (iauibetta replieil tbat such was not tht opinion

this declaration, affected a surprise almost amounting

they seriou.ly held that th? vote they passed on the
Otiotltlta of the i'l-oitositiou Vttet invested them with
?itut lit power. If they did, then their pit tensions
clashed with the opinion of the country, w bub they
1 count sot keep from inquiring into the nature of the
initial title ot i?7l,'and ot saying, "Why, we never
I thought of Investing you with this tremendous pr?roga?
tive, nor you of Hnking us."
Kvery electoral spcecli^and printed address limited
the mandate to the narrow issue of peace or war. The
Uutrtu ilr Frui\ce of Feluuary 7 formally pronounced In
this sense, and altogether denied to the Assembly tho
ritfht to discuss constituent question?.
?1. Gaujbctta tbeu adverted to the dangerous crisis

W'ASilisc.roN, DM, 2H.?T?W Ordnance Hu
reau of Hie Army Is ail at sea again in the matter of
heavy guns. During the Rebellion it claimed to hare
definitely solved tho vexatious orduanco problem, and
to have obtained in the Invoutio.i of the late (ion. Rod?
man the gun of the greatest endurance and destructive
power known to the world. The Rodman gun was made
of cast-iron, cooled slowly from within by passii g cur
reut? of water through the core srunutl which the metal
was poured. I^arge numbers of them were made, and
the bureau sent one of ls-loch caliber to Eugland for
conqietitive trial with the Armstrong guns, where It be?
haved very well and showed remarkable power In shst
terlng srmor. As s smooth-bore bat gun BOptBBti f<> b<<
fairly successful Iu experimental filings, but the few
that were rifled exhibited no trustworthy endurance.
The opponents of the gun alleged that it aould not en?
dure the strain of rapid and long-continued firing In bat?
tle. The orduanco ?Ulcers, however, strenuously de?
clared that It possessed every merit desirable In a groat
gun. It was remarked, nevertl elese, by persons inter?
ested In ordnance problems, that ihe principal Europeau
Powers did not appear to consider it of suthVleut value
to take much|notlce of it.
Ahout.a year ago Geu. Rodman, th? Inventor, died.
He was an ordnance officer of high rank and eminent
attainments, and his lirm faith In bis own gun unques?
tionably had much to do with the partiality of the Ord?
nance Bureau for It- Boon after his death the Bureau
exhibited a willinguesa to reopen the question and to
begin a new series of experiments to determine upon
some new system of heavy ordnance for adoption, thus
acknowledging the defects of tbe Kodmau svstem. Ap?
plication was made to Congress for a largo appropriation
to tost sn invention of Dr. Woodbrtdge for a gun made
by winding wire arouud a tube. An appropriation of
?-?70,0ou was made at the last session, but the law pro?
vided that it should bo applied to at least three models
of hoavy ordnance lo be designated hv s board ot offi?
cers, who should report upon tiothtmunfle and breeoh
loading guns. A board was accordingly appointed by
the Secretary of War in June, .compost .1 of four ord?
nance uflWrs, two artillery officers, and one engineer
officer. The Board Ins lied Inventors tosend them tattt
drawings and specifications, and ltl res|xmse they re?
ceived descriptions of ?0 different Inventions. After
about three months' work cxsmlnlng the drawings, mod?
els, and tit ?triplions of these devices? the Board selected
tune for tests audp-xpcrlutent?. These, arranged tu the
order of their supposed merit, were the following:

The Woodbrldgo system, which is mid to be specially
favored by the Ordnance Bureau, is described bv the in
ventor to consist "In the disposition of helles of wire,
constituting in general th? principal part of the muss of
tho cannon, aud their 'union by a mote fusible metal
employed as a solder, and etas used when desired as the
mate! tul forming the walls of the bore.

bested beads over a tube of wrought Iron or cast steel,
and supplementing these with another MftoSOl bands

the invention.
The Krepp breech-loaders nre made of r.nt-ireel, and
their value was fully demonstrated during the French
war, particularly at the siege of Taris The other

of any sulfab'e material, the inventions not rotating M

cooled slowly by currents.of air passed through the bore,
and afterward shrinking upon It two laver-? of ?feel
rings reaching from the breech about, halfway to Mi

Systems Will be very expensive and will n quire consid?

An accidental discovery in White-tt., yeater
ilay, may j rovo the solution or one ?tf the most perplex?
ing questions of street BBBBfitBtBBBBX
hatpaagt fttd the ?new II that thoroughfare was ro
heaped up that trucks ttatd not BBt to the sidewalk, and
hbtta WttBO probability of the authorities removing It
form.uiv d.ivt. Ice proprietor of one of the stores or?
dered bit nit n to ? p n tli't man BtB) of the sewrr In tho
n.lddie tf 'be street, and to shovel ?he snow Info if. < kg
raiting th" cover, a cloud of ?team rose iti.o the sir, and
the -now which was thrown in melted almost before it
BBajttBf tne bottom of the sewer. Tho bystondet? ?t
tatattkad why a similar plan might not be adopted
throughout the city, ai.1 an examination ehowed t.\.it
tho tt mperature of all the sewers lielow Kenrteenth %'.
was Llgh enough to melt snow at once. This Is due no:
only to the protection of tht severs from the cold, and
the chemical changes goinr on within them, hut also to
the fact that the exhaust pip?* of most steam engine?
pass their steam into the sewers.
A Tnim xr. reporter called on Commissioner Van Nort
to get his views in the ?inject He ?aid that the sub?
ject was a new one to hi n, and that he could givo no
opinion without further consideration. It was agnln't
the law to pass evc-i w ?ste ?te mi into the sewer?, on ac?
count of the damage to tho mason-work. Steam might
he carried Into the bottom of the sewers, however. In
such a way as to do httla damage, and yet he of the
greatest use In melting suow.
Jame? McDouald, City Engineer, stated that In his
opinion the discovery wo i!d solve the entire problem.
Tho sewers were frequently so hot from exhaust ?team
that they could only be cleaned at night and on Sun?! iv ?.
To obviate the Injury to the mason-work, the pl|??s might
be carried below the water which always runs at tho
bottom of the sewer, with the same Increase of warmth
and without the damaging heat. By adopting this plan,
and placing the man-boles nearer together?fifty or one
hundred feet apart, perhaps -ftoirsands of dollars might
be saved to the city, an 1 snow-itorois might cease to bo
objects of dread. It was frequently in some such blun?
dering way that the most lmportaut discoveries were
made.
THE 1 TAIf AVALANCHE?ELEVEN LIVES IsOOT.

certained that tleven men were buried by the Cotton
wood slide, some of them being strangers from the Last.

thrco more slides occurred on Sunday last. One man
was carrietl down by ono of them, but was rescued
without severe injuries.

AT RANDOLPH?tOYBO LIVES LOST.
101 TKLEbRAPH TO TUB THHHNB.I
Memphis, Doc. 30.?A warm ruin that Ml
nearly ?il of last night softened tho Ice and loosened
large ipiantitio? of it, which floated past the ctty to-day.
Oue large mass that came down to-dav crowded a hola
in the hull of tho ferry-boat Excelsior, cauatng her ta
?Ink nearly to the top ot her wheei-houso on one side.
She was owned by Capt. Pattersou, w is worth about
fOOJBj ami uninsured. Tho Belle of Pike has ettled
until her wheels are out of sight, aud her bow Is In nina
feet of water. She has moved down nearer the Walt.
The latter has water over her larboard guard and up ta
her stairway. All her machinery was removed. Both'
the Walt and Bello of Pike will go out of sight when tua
Ice permits.
Tue Undine was carried to President's Island by tho
ice, where ?lie now lies. 8 veral boats have started up tho
river, and others will probably attempt it In the morning,
although ? still heavier gorge is reported at Randolph,
which is said to contain the wreck of a dosen flatboata
and two or throe BhBhVWBBtl steamers. A gentleman
from there says be saw a hay-boat with seven person*
on board come down on a heavy acid of Ice, anil all wert?
crushed in the mass of stationary Ice.
Late?.?The mass of ice cxteuilng from Jefferson st.
up for llvo mock?, t?at has beul u dozen boats for tho
past week, gave way about 8:30 lo-night. aud, sweeping
down with tremendous force, pushed the dry dock?
nearer the shore, Jammed tho Excelsior still further
down, so that her outside wheel Is completely sub?
merged, carried off three or four coal flats, sunk the
I! lie of Pike out of sight, and did ?light damage to tho
Andy Baum. Then the ponderous mass, grinding sul?
lenly against four or Ovo other boats lying below, passed
down the river without doing fntther damage.
fGKNBRAL PR?sS MsP.lTCH.]
Memphis Dec. 30.?A steady rain fell during
the night, softening the Ice and causing large quuntltlea
to break off and sink, thus greatly lessening the danger
to boats. Tne river Is rising steadily, and the floating
Ice is rapidly diminishing.
The officers of the Belle Lee, which arrived from below
this morning, report that they met a large number of
coal-boats comparatively uninjured, ami that they also
rescued a man, named Harvey, with his wife and child,
from a dredge-boat at tho mouth of the at. Francia
River.
6 r. w.?The ferry-boat Excelsior has sprung a leak
and Is siukiug rapidly, au?- H vtlucd at t",S00 ami will
probably be a total loss ; uulusured.
Men who left Randolph yesterday morulug state that
tho be gorged there 30 feet high, an 1 that a llatu.at
containing seveu persons was drawu under it and all on
board perished. This news causes great c?o.foment
here among steamboat men. The rlvt r is rising rapidly.
11 P. a.?The weather is clear ami soft. The river la
still rising; It has risen eight feet altogether. Nothiug
further has been heard of the gorge at Randolph. All
the cotton on the Belle of Pike has been saved.
