CATER the cloth was removed" says the New

cd the company in an animated and eloquent
speech, in which he openly denounced General
jackson, declaring that he could no longer con-
scicntiously support the measures of his admins
tration The removal Of the deposites he con-
sidered dangerous usurpation of authority,
lcalled for by the exigencies of the times, a
positive violation Of law, and most fragrant in

Mr.. wFBsrER.-The political course Of this
gentleman has been for some time past, matter
Of considerable speculation We confess tina,
we have never seen any evidences Of an inclina-
ton TO seperate from those with whom he has
hitherto acted, much less to rcpudiate the prin-
cplcs which he has heretofore so boldly and
powerfully sustained From some cause, howe.
yer, the Jackson party has spoken Of him Of
late, in kindly tone with which they are no,
accustomed to salute their political opponents
His long silence on the subject Of the depositcs.
has encouraged their advances, until at length
he is openly implored to step forward and cast
his influence into the scale Of the administration
and save it from the opposition Of the Senate.
We can fancy the excitement Of those under
the Kitchen influence, who CHANGED to be in the
Senate when he presented the Boston Memorial
They stood aghast, like prisoners listening to the
verdict Of jury who were about to condemn or
save; and verify they heard dreadful condem-
nation.
From these circumstances the remarks which
FIJI from him on that occasion receive an add.
t'onai interest, and we therefore give place to
them at length in this days paper. The Globe
and its fellows will have much to unsag.
FIRE IN Destruction Of the Iphig
Office On Friday morning last, fire broke out
in the city of Richmond, in large building near
the foot of Capitol Square, called ''Harris' Build
ing" The printing Office of the Richmond Wing,
occupying part of the building, was entirely
consumed, but the greater part Of the type and
presses were saved. 1t is said that the publca
ton of that paper will not be delayed more than
afsw days.
The following is extract from letter from
Richmond, Of the oath inst.:--"We had great
alarm this morning. A fire broke out about half
past one, in the row of five story brick houses,
near my boarding house, in which the Wing OF
fee was kept. The FIRE continued until daylight,
and had il been windy the whole city might have
been destroyed. The Wing Office is totally
destroyed. and presume il will be some days
before that paper gets under way again. The
loss sustained by the Wing establishment is con-
siderable"

EDITORS CORRESPONDENCE.

RIcHMoNp, Jan uary ID, 1884
In one ofmy previous letters | informed you
that Berkeley had but few local petitions b, fore
the legislature since that time however, seve-
raj have been presented OF an interesting cha
racter.
The resolutions TO incorporate a joint stock
company to construct a road from Martnsburg to
Sheph crdstown, has been facorobiy passed upon
BY the committee. They have also agreed TO
the provision which inserted in reference 10 the
Opequon Bridge. by this means, the county
will save to itself the whole expense of con-
structing that permanent and valuable improve
ment. think there can be no difficulty in com
pletine the road with the charter which we shall
now obtain.
We have a farther proposition before our body
to obtain an appropriation of $4,000, to open and
graduate road from the South and West fork of
the Sleepy Creek to the Eastern base ofthe North
Mountain. This road will pass through about tw o
miles of the county of Morgan and six seven
of Berkeley county. II will cross Back Creek
at Murphy's ford, or wherever the commission
ers NAV fix upon as the scite of the Back Creek
Bridge. The importance of opening this ives
tern part Of Berkeley county TO market is obvi
vous II will graduate the several mountains,
which prevent ready access TO market, and will
bind every portion of the county into more per-

Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, asking
an additional quarter million, in aid OF that en-

Of the county; although it is subject in which
she has deep interest.
received this morning the petition for the d.
vision of the county ntoprecinct elections. which
will without delay, be laid before the House Ct
Delegates.
we are now engaged on the Deposite question.
The vote of the House Of Delegates, dsapprov

The committee has reported fdvorobiy upon the
petition for Savings Institution in Martinsburg.
RICHMOND, January %, 1894.
| We have this day succeeded in obtaining from
! the Committee Of Roads and Internal Naviga-
ton, Favorable report, accompanied by bill for
| the appropriation Ct sum of money from the
Treasury, to construct a road from the North
and Middle fork of Sleepy Greek, TO the Eastern
base of the North Mountain. The sum is repor-

| 5000. II has been suggested by some mem.
bers of the Committee, that a provision shoalC
be aided, requiring the counties OF Berkeley
and Morgan to contribute each such sum IN ad

/ think this is altogether reasonable, and | an

LATEST FROM SPAIN.

The latest intelligence from Spain has reached
us by the circuitous route of Havana and New
Orleans. The editor of the New Orleans Bee
has received Havana paper containing the
latest news from Spain, received at that place
by brig from Cadiz. The Madrid dates are
to the 9th November, and those ofCadiz to the
Cd Dec; it appears that order and tranquility
have been restored, and that the partizans of
Don Carlos have been subjugated.-B Am.
Extract Of letter, dated Haeana, Jan. 9.
The Spanish Packet has just arrived. The
cause of the Queen is triumphant every where.
Biscay has, submitted. The Ministry of War
has been changed and placed in better hands.
Tranquility prevailed in Madrid"
Madrid, NoU. 27.--Don Miguel made every
effort to prevent Don Carlos from embarking
for the Papal States. He desired TO have him
acknowledged as King of Spain. The Queen
Regent Judging from this the disposition ofDon
Miguel to create fresh disturbances in Spain, has
ordered all intercourse with him to be stopped.
The Queen in concert with the English Co
vernment has taken the resolution TO put an end,
as far as it is in her power, to the civil war in
Portugal, and to interfere between the belligi-
rent parties to conciliate their interests, and
maintain the peace of Europe.
AT Seville and Badagos, the Te-Deum was

This worthy man was native of Ireland, and
settled in this city long prior to the Revolution
was merchant of great probity and honor,
acquired handsome fortune, and retired
many years ago. He was a gentleman OF the
old school; even his very appearance and dress
commanded respect-his hospitality was pro-
verbal, and for long course ofyears it was
an unusual circumstance that a friend did not
dine at his table His acquaintance with dis
tinguished Foreigners and Americans was I'M
usually extensive. To his exemplary moral
character, was added that of the humble devout
christian. He was the last signer living, to the
call for the venerable DR.. Rogers to settle in
Wall st. Church, which call was made more
than 70years, ago; and up the last COM
munion in that church, Mr.. McCormick was re-
gular in his attendance. His residence for up
wards ofhalfa century, has been in one spot, in
Wall, near Pearl st; and the house although COM
Portable, wears the appearance Of antiquity
He has outlived all his early friends, and for
many years. has been, with two or three excep-
tons, the only resident of the street, which was
once the court endof the town, but now devot-
ed to Banks and offices. Few men among us
have descended to the tomb, bearinga purer
character, and few private citizens were more
extensively known and respected.
