4 MIR. CLAY's "GROss PROFANITY
A "gross" attempt TO shuttle IL off erp osed
Gnd the charge established against
HENRY CLAY, of Kentucky.
From the n Y Eve, Post.
On the 23d Of the present month, III,
following paragraph appeared in the N. Y
Commercial Advertiser
"CoRRRcrIoS AT Lssr.-Our readers may re
member a charge Of gross profanity brought b,
the Globe against Mr.. Clay, the Senator from Ken
lucky, alleged TO have been uttered IN the Hous'
Of Representatives when the disputed Mississipp
election was decided against MeSsrs. Preniiss an,
Word by the casting vote Of the Speaker. II nov
appears the expressIon-(" Go home, Cd d.
you, where you deserve 10 be)-was uttered, DO
by Henry Clay Of Kentucky, but by Clement c
Clay Of Alabama-a Loco-Foco-and was ad
dressed, not to the Speaker but TO MIR. Prentiss."
Mr.. Clay, of Alabama, on seeing this H.
bel, Immediately addressed letter to the
editor of the Commercial Advertiser, de-
claring TINT the charge conveyed in it was
wholly false that lie was not in the House
of Representatives on the occasion referred
to, nor ever used such language in relation
to that or any other vote of the House
aud demands, the publication of the con-
tradictioD, and the disclosure ofthe author
ty on which the charge was made. Thus
driven to correct its own correction, the
Commercial publishes the contradiction,
and says
We found the statement in one of our ex-
change papers--the Hudson River Chronicle, if
we remember right-cOpied from and credited 10
the Goshen Democrat"
When the charge of using this indecor-
Gus language originally appeared in the
Globe, gentleman of this city addressed a
letter to Mr.. Clay, of Kentucky, inquiring
if the charge was true. When the charge
was applied by the Commercial to Mr..
Clay, of Alabama, the same person wrote
to him also, inquring as to its truth. Mr.
Clay's answer follows. Let our read
ers judge for themselves, whether the
indirect and artful manner in which the
Kentucky Senator seeks to evade the
charge, is not more discreditable than to
have uttered the language itself, and whetI,-
er a truly honest man would not have given
n different answer.
WASHINGTON 10th March, 1888.

RECEPTION OF THE PRINCE DE JoINvhLs
AT HAvANA.-The following extracts from
a letter, published in New York paper,
give some details respecting the reception
of fthe Prince de Joinville at Havana, which
we presume will lie interesting to our read

The Prince de Jonville arrived on the 9Th
Of May at Havana, from jamaica, in the
line of battle ship Hercules, with the sioop
Of war Favorite as q tender. Being very
large vessel, mounting 100 guns, her ap-
pearance on entering the port was most i'm
posing. A band of music was on the poop
deck, playing Spanish national airs. Roy
al salutes were fred by the forts and Span
ish frigates; and an hour or so after she
anchored, General Espelata; the Governor
with his staff, all in full uniform repaired
on board to visit the Prince. He landed
incognito at dusk, went to the pit OF the op-
era, and walked about the town. On SuR-
day morning, 6OOO troops were drawn out
in line from the whnIf to the palace, when
tho Prince again landed, and visited the
Governor and Intendant; he then repaired
to the mansion house, where lodgings had
been provided for him, followed by guard
of honor Of 100 men. paid my respects
to him there, and was present at the aud
fences he gave TO the Spanish Admiral. the
Archbishop public authorities &c. All OF
course were received standing. His guard
of honor is stationed night and day at the
door of the hotel, and armed men at hrs
chambefdoor. In the evening oil the troops
were drawn out. and he passed them in re-
view on horseback, accompanied by the
Governor and brilliant staff. Whenever
the Prince addressed him, he tine Cover

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT NANTUCKET
INQUIRER OFFICE,

Saturday merning, June 2, 8 o'clock.
We have to record the occurrence of the
most disastrous conflagration ever exper-
fenced by the inhabitants of this place. A
fire broke out at a quarter past o'clock
this morning, in tho rope-walk of Mr..
Joseph james, just in the rear of Union
street, and in the midst of populous neigh
borhood-surrounded also by numerous
candle houses, oil manufactures, &c. The
flames spread SO rapidly, from the COM
hustle nature of the ingredience presented
to them, that in the course Of few hours,
in despite of tho utmost efforts Of the citi-
zens, more than 20 buildings fell prey to
their fury. Among these, are the ropc-walk
aforesaid, the candle houses Of Mr.. J. Ath-
ern, Mr. Valentine Hussey, Mr.. p. Gil.
Folger, Mr.. Daniel Jones, and Mr.. Matthew
Crosby and the dwelling houses of Messrs.
II. Crocker, Il. ID. Morris. C. F. F. Gard
ner, J. N. Bassett, w. Folger Jr.. Samuel
Ames, A. Durham, c. Cusham, J. Crosby,
and one or two others; the stores or shops
of Gilbert Coffin, Il. G. Barnard. l.. Fisher,
J. Meader, r. Rawson, J. Crosby. a twine
factory belonging to II. II. Bunkcr, Esq.
and sundry smaller buildings which at this
moment we have not time to specify. The
loss in the aggregate cannot be less than
$500, ,OOO-independent of the countless
damage resulting from the hurried removal
of vast quantities of property Of various
kinds.
