BUFFALO, Dec. i6.

Destructive Firc.-It is our painful duty to narrate the ravages of most devastating condagration which occurred in this village last evening. The fire commenced in the joiner's shop of Mir. S. K. Garrison. near the corner of the block of wooden buildings usu. ally known as the Kremlin corner." upon Main-street. The block, bounded by Main. Eagle, Pearl and Niagara streets, comprising twenty three wooden buildings. was entirely l consumed, except one barn and two small houses. both of which were partially pulled down and rendered valueless. The total loss of property we cannot learn, but it is very heavy. The Main-street front of the block
 was principally stores and shops of various descriptions; the Niagara front included the l very extensive cabinet maHufactory and ware house of Mrs. Staats. the extensive chair fac. tory of MT. Wadsworth, and several dwell lings. The remaining fronts are mostly mechanics shops and uutbuildings.
 The sufferers, 80 far as we can learn. are as follows :-Nlrs. Staats. loss $lO,O00--no insurance, the policy having expired yester- day at l2 o'clock R. Hargrave Lee, gro- cer. loss $lO.OO0. S. Mathew, grocer, loss satscss atorS, loss sg,o0o. Wadswart6 and rennegHr. chair factory, loss Sl.3OO. A. sherman, co"pers' shop and dwelling, loss S8OO. G Il. Goodrich, vacant store, loss s7oO. s. K. Garrison. joiner's shop, loss $700. H. Jeudevine, shoe shop, loss saOo. B. Fowler, grocer, loss SlOO. Wm. Smith. grocer. loss SeoO. A. l.. Slelle, grocer. loss Slg0O. Thomas c. Love. law office. loss $500. MT. Butcher. grocer, loss triding.- .. Hubbard. dwelling. loss in furniture S1oO. These are the principal, although there were sev eraI other sufferers whose names and loss we have not learned.
 The Ire occurred at six o'clock fn the eve. ping, during perfect gale. with Snow, from the south west. and SO rapid was the confla- grafton that the building was down by nine. At the commencement the most lively fears were entertained that the flames would cross Eagle street, only four rods in width, in which case nothing could have saved the Eagle Tas vesn' and the wooden buildings upon each s,de of it. extending half mile. To prevent tn's' public reservoir recently sunk at the corner of Main and Eagle streets, was the on- y dePendsnce. and this, for some time was so enveloped in smoke as to render it impos- s'ols to approach it. Most fortunately the w'nd suddenly changed SO as to clear away sle smoke. when Engine No. was prompt " placed at the fountain; and the Ere was thus prevented from crossing the street,

THE LEGISI1ATURE.
FROM oua CORRESPONDENT.
nrcmMoNv. rrp. 4. 1881


The time Of the House Of Delegates,
for the last weeks has been principally
occupied ia the discussion Of the Judi.
ciary question--at topic which engrosses
the attention er every one, and upon
cmrcct decision of which tepend
some 81 the most vital interests Of the
Commonw eaith. The vcxatious and
oppressive delays ia the admiaistra.
tiew 81 Justice, seem to be appreciated
in all their force by the speakers on
both sides, and by every member and
the only real question seems to be As
to the manner Of redressing them. A
large majority appear determined to
carry courts Of equity into every coun.
~, and by blending lay and chascery
powers in the same tribunals, to lessen,
IL possible, the delays and expenses Of
litigation. The minority oppose this
plan. on the ground that IL will not re-
medy existing evils-that il will be o
Panacsa only in name, and will
..iiold the word Of promise to the car,
But brcak IL to the hope
They are for keeping the powers in
distinct tribunals-contending that the
expenses and delays, now complained
at, will still exist. because neither
Judges nor counsel will be able, nor
have time. 10 attend TO both in immc
dIatc succession-and that the courts
of justice will dege nerate. and become
less respectable aud less to be vener-
ated.
For the county plan, the champions
have been. Messrs. Barbour, Giimer.
Gibson, and Cortland Of Nelson. For
the district chaBcery system, Messrs.
Leigh, Morris, Mason, Mcfarland md
Maxwell. Though the subject is some
what a dry one, il has been occasion.
ally enlivened by sparklings of wit and
humor; which ingredients, when judi.
ciously used, serve to relieve the tedi.
um Of debate. MIR. Broadnax ha.
submitted a plan, (too long for detail
here.) which appears 10 posscss some
claims to attention. Mr.. Leigh has
the floor for to-day. and will doubtless
make n mastery effort 10 check the
current-but il will be '.iovc's labor
lost" the county chaneery courts musf
be tried, let the result of experiment
be what they may. The fiat has gone
forth, and must be obeyed.
The. road committee has now under
consideration, subjects Of an impor-
lance scarcely less than that Of the iu !.
d'c'ary-namely, a general scheme of
improvement. The spirit seems TO
have been aroused from its slumbers.
and to have assumed a power and en-.
ergy alpost irresistible. Nothing but
the too great zeal Of ever ardent friends
OF the cause, can now impede its
march. The committee have deter.
mined to report a bill, authorizing a
loan for the sum Of two millions, add

ing the resources Of the State. The
Valley, OF course. presents a claim for
consideration, which none pretend 10
dispute; and it is classed among the
hrst OF those which ought 10 receive
immediate attention. Virginia NAV
now safely advance in such a career
having had the benefit Of the experi.
ence OF her sister states.

At the last session of Congress we addressed a
petition TO the Senate of the u States asking the
abolition of newspaper postage, which from the
multiplicity of matters of more consequence, was
not acted upon. Since that time, the subject has
received attention in various quarters, and appears
to be every where favoraby thought of, and nothing
is probably necessary to the abolition, but
that an effort be made by those most Interested
To the fraternity of Editors, it is matter of some
interest, and we invite our brethren in Virginia
particularly, to cooperate in petition to Congress.
The postage Oh newspapers, is worth little to tho
Government, now too in the unprecedented dilemma

II is extremely vcxatlous in its collection
to those who receive and those who pay, and in
this latter aspect circumscrbcs tho circulation Of

a. The State election took place in the State
OF New York last week. Albany and tho City
have elected the Regency tickets. The account
seems balanced by other sountes The Daily
Advertiser of Friday says:-
1.-The Inspectors will not complete the entire
canvass of the city for day or two; enough, how
ever is known to render it certain, that the whole
Tunmany ticket has succeeded. The Senatorial
vote is known: Cropsey's majority Wood is
1919 in the city; Kings gives 4SS, and Richmond
215 for Cropsoy; Qaeens will probably give 800
against, and Suffolk 800 for Cropsey-hs MAORI
ty will be about 1900 votes; Only seven wards
have canvassed the Assembly ticket, viz 4th aver
aye majority for Tanmany, $40; 7th 1913; 10th,
900; llth, 5G3; 18th, 267; 18th, 800; 18th, ST..
1.-The Counties heard from run very much n
gainst the Tammany ticket. West Chester Coun
ty, with the exception of three small towns, has
given the National Republican Senator 1900 ma
jority-and all the Assembly and County ticket
carried by similar majority. Last year this
County gave large majority for the Tammany
tcket-Dutchess County has carried tho whole
National Republican ticket by large majority.
Queens County has returned John A. King to the
Assembly, and given the National Republican tick
ct majority. In Richmond, which has given
Cropscy Il large ma ority, Mr.. Messerole, the Ma
tional Republican, is elected to the Assembly
over Griffin Tompkins, by majority of 80; and
the Sheriff by 3 majority. Ulster las given q
Tammany majority.'

u The last intelligence rovives ray of hope for
Poland The Polish armies, in cons siderable force,
refused to submit, and it tn ought possible for
them to protract resistance until winter came to
their aid, or something favorable turned up. The
Proclamation of Razinski, breathes an amin ating
spirit.
In France, the policy of Casimir Perrier foreign
and domestic, had received the appreciation of the
Chamber of Deputies, after debate of three days,
and the consequence it was supposed, would be to-
strengthen his ministry and preserve tranquility.
In England, the discussion in the House of
Lords, the Reform Bill, was fixed for the 3d.
October, and the day approached, public opinion
more confidently anticipated the passage of the
bill. This is indicated by The betting which at first
odds was against that result, but which had moro
laticFly become even, and fnall two to one on
that side. For the concession, England will be in
debted to tine fears, not to the JUSTICE of the Ar
istocracy.
