Fire in Quinty MinOis.-A letter from
our friend of the Quincy Herald, informs
us that Obstructive fire occurred there on
Saturday evening last, about 10 O'clock
destroying, the Centre Mill, the three story
brick store adjoining, and Messrs. Arthuf's
family grocery, a two story wooden build
ling. For some time the three neigl,boring
brick buildings were in great danger, but
were finally saved by the extreme exertions
of the fremen and citizens generally "
Mr.. Rice removed his goods from the low
er brick store, but they were considerably
damaged-covered by insurance. There
was no insurance on the mill, or the grain
and -four in it. The adjoining building was
owned by John w. McFaddon-was unoc-
cupied, but insured. The stock of the
Messrs. Arthur was uninsured, and their
loss is heavy. Their store was torn down
to save the adjoining buildings.-S. LOUIS

The Democrats at the District Conven-
tion recently held at Herman, nominated
little William Van Ness Bay, of Franklin,
as their candidate for Congress. Now is
the time then If ever, for the Wings to run
a candidate in this disrrict;>their prospect
of success is greater now than perhaps
it ever will be again, for it is not likely that
the democrats will ever again commit such
blunder as to run such another man.
Seuemty- Sir.
| This is frank confession that an error
of the democrats is their only hope Of sue
cess. Not relying upon the intelligence of
the people, to appreciate their measures,
they seem to throw them to the winds, il
they ever had any, and grasp at every
shadow that filters DER their visions. II
they have policy in government affairs
that they believe will be acceptable to the
people, should they refuse to meet our ablest
champions, in the field, and compare mea.
sure to measure in the hearing of the peo-
pie? If they say what they believe, when
they say ."Now is the time for the whigs.''
is it not plain that they fear tu meet an able
representative of Democratic principles
else why this disposition to steal in man
"whose prospects of success Tin the Ian
guage of the editor)is greater now than
perhaps it will ever be again?" But when
the prospects of a party are so far sunken
as to cling to solitary lingering hope OF
creeping in, in the shade, it is not wonder
that their visions are sometimes at fault,
causing them imprudently to start before
the nighGall, which accounts for the skin
ming of so many coons.
Now we just believe that this little HIl-
lam Pan Ness Bay, so styled by the edit
or, can skin as many coons as any man to
his inches in the State. We pity the ring
tailed coon that will lead them.
A Gauss OF CoMPLAINT.-Cave John.
son, look out! The Republican of the 9th
in complaining of the mails says:
| 1--WE are assured by several men of busi-
ness, that to letters written as early as the
lst, Cd and Sd of this month, no answers
have been received from New York ant
Boston. The cause is inexpEicabls.",
CAVE you ought to have had them answered

WASHINGTON. July 10, 1913.
Record of the Day.


During the short session of the Senate, to-day,
with open doors, variety of things were consider
ed; the principal measure being the Naval Appro-
priation bill, and the particular item upon which
further progress is for the time, retarded, is the
proposition of Mr. Niles to strike out the pro-
vision of the House allowing one months advance
pay to the Ocean Steam Companies attached to the
navy, though intended for mail and passenger
transportation; the pay TO be secured by mort
gage upon the ships, and the months allowance, or
$4,000, to be handed over the launching ofeach
vessel, order TO facilitate their outfit for sea-
From the strenuous opposition OF NJ. Niles TO this
proposition, and TO the ten years contracts moving
to reduce them 10 FIVE and urging the wants of the
Treasury, and the heavy expense ofthese steamers,
Us calculated 10 lead the necessity of their aban-
donment by the government altogether, APP
prehend there is to be strong effort to revoke,
far possible, the original design of sys-
tematlc ocean steam communication under the
patronage of The governments; system which, If
pursued with skull, enterprise, and perseverance,
is calculated 10 give us the control OF the Pacific
,rade, and full share OF the Atlantic business,
with complete monopoly OF the coastwlse trans
portstion OF mails and passengers between tn,
Isihmus Of Chagres and New York.
The bill was bid aside for the day, and the Sc
nate went into Executive session, confirming a
Number of brewer general officers, and officers of
the descending grade. Col. Benton entertained
the Senate with long statement Of the doings of
Gen Kearny IN New Mexico and California, cal
Quilted as we undt rsand, to leave very favor
abe impre ssion upon the minds of Senators; but
the tact that Col. Benton was supposed to be In
huenced to retaliation on account OF the severe
conduct OF Gen. Kearny towards Col Fremont IN
California materially mltgated the effect OF his
statement and finally; we learn, the nomination
of Gen. Keany as brevet major general, was con-
f,med. IL Is known 10 your readers that Col.
Fremont is The son-in-law of Col Benton, and 4
there is man who will walk through fire to serve
his house hold or his friends, II Is Col. Benton.
While he is decided enemy, he is even more
decided friend
The report OF last week, that General Kearny
was rejected, originated from the laying on the
table his nominations; hut 1t was only temporarily,
until he Others should be acted upon, giving time
ior the collection OF facts, &c, pro and con.
Mr. Clayton has given Botice that he will per-
hspe call up the territorial bill tomorrow. We
think there is no doubt OF Its passing the Senate,
while there is very serious reason TO doubt Its
success in the House.
The House to-day, were engaged in mscella-
neous business. See your reporters reports.
