FOURTH OF JULY-NEwSPAPER CHANCELLOR
WEATHER, RAIN, HARvEsTS, ETC.
Correspondence of tbr grfsrtnt.
BALTIMORE, July 2.
A fire which occurred here on Tuesday
evening, proved the largest with which Balti'
more has been visited for years. 1t commenced
in a large warehouse on Broadway, belonging
to Strauss & Brother, a rich Hebrew firm, and
TIE property on each side, spread across the
street, over a hundred feet wide, caught to the
public market-house, which was soon entirely
enveloped in flames, and from thence reached
the other side of the street, where its ravages
we're not STAYED until several buildings were
consumed At one time il seemed to completely
battle the efforts of the tircmen. and fears were
entertained that it would spread over large
section of the city before it could he suhdued
Fortunately the buildings destroyed were not
very valuable, and the entire loss WILL probably
fall within fifty thousand dollars
There is great amount Of grumbling among
our TRANSFORMERS and business men, over the
present freight tariff Of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad 1t is alleged to be too high, unfair
in its classiicatons, and by its determinations
to favor the transportation Of goods and pas
sengers to points beyond the natural terminus
of the road here, to the obvious injury of the
business of Baltimore The fact is that our
people are Just learning, after all the expense
and all the sacrifice they have undergone in
building the road, that it does not end here.
That the Parker Vein line of steamships is a
virtual prolopration of the road to New York
nnd that the business men of that al. absorbing
METROPOLIS, with superior energy and more
abundant carital, are actually oustng our own
citizens from the disposal of the Western trade
that came over their own road and that, with
ont the attention of some counteracting meas
ures, Baltimore will become but point of pas
sage on the route from the West, and not the
natural and nroper terminus of the chain of
railroads nv which she is TO he connected with

Necessary facilities tor the business of this
road are sadly wanting. We are informed
that several vessels now lying at Bath are I'M
able to discharge their. cargoes for the lack of
-rleght cars and other accommodations. Besides
this, at the several depOts, some hundreds of
tons OF freight are obliged to lie over, day af-

The community has been very lenient to
wards this road, and have for the sake of the
enterprise tolerated negligences and small
things quite too long already. The road has
not been properly equipped, so far as facilities
for the transportation Of freight are concerned,
since its opening three or four years ago.
There is too much of the penny wise y and
'spound foolish y policy, from high point,
down to the employment of regular conductors
to take care of switches on the branch train,
and advertising in one paper in Bath. The
Brunswick depot is nuisance, in its concep-
ton, construction and arrangements, and stands
wonderful monument of somebody's enlarged
and expanding ideas of railroad operations
Blowing out draw in the channel of river
is another development in this sagacious poll
cy. The fact is, this road, capable of being
made one of the greatest roads in New Eng
land for business, moves along with snail
pace in business expansion, all on account Of
the predominance of very small IDEAS kind
of policy of littleness-that would squeeze
dime hard enough to take off the imprint Of
the mint and at the same moment let an eagle
slip through the hand. The press has tacitly
consented to these things long enough, and
sufferance is no longer a virtue. We have an
interesting chapter in the history of this rail-
road, truthful, pointed and somewhat ludi-
crous in some Of its details, which Justice to
the community demands should be spread be-
fore the public. The only reason we have
kept it back, is because the Kennebec and
Portland railroad is a kind Of joint stock COM
pany in which every Kennebecker has inter
ested his sympathy-hence blow at the con-
Germ hits too great crowd. 1t is high time

SINGULAR CAUSE OF. DEATH.-A young COW,

came 20 her death few days ago, in . vesy
singular manner. The functiOnSJof respixa-
ton. orcalation, digestion, and nutrition were
all performed in the usual manner until about
one week prior to death. AT that time che BE-
gan to refuse food, 10 emaciaIe rapidly, and
soon died. The owner had no clue 20 the
cause Of death but entertaining the idea that
the stomach or heart was affected, he made
post mortem examination Of those organs.
On examining the first stomach where il lies
in contact with the diaphraim or midrif, he
found thickening Of its walls, and an adhesion
Of il TO the midrf. He likewise found tho
midrif adhered to the heart o. removing the
portions Of stomach and midrif indurated, thick
ened and adhered, together with the heart, no
made an incisiOn into the last named organ,
which revealed the cause of death. Il consiG=

entirely through the coats Of the stomach and

Tribute to SENATOR Atherton.

The death of Senator Atherton of New
Hampshire, was appropriately noticed in both
Houses Of Congress. In the House, Mr.. Orr
of South Carolina, paid the following eloquent
tribute to his memory -
Mr.. Orr, Of South Carolina, in an eloquent
tribute to the living and dead statesman of New
Hampshire said
GO Let the honest historian deal Justly with
the memory of CHARLES G.. ATHERToN, by
telling that no man lived within her borders
who devoted his energies and talents more sed-
ulously as legislator and citizen than he to
the prosperity Of the whole country, and to the
dissemination of elevated political ethics.
He knew no sectionalsm-the constitution
was his chart. He was faithful to his own
constituents, and yet his vision was broad
enough to see, and his heart generous enough
to concede, every right due to his brethren in
this great political household
He illustrated the annals OF his congression-
al career at an early day with an exposition of
principles which has withstood the assault of
time the only test of truth !; and if they
had been sacredly observed, our fraternal con-
cord and domestic repose could not have been
shaken OF disturbed. 1t was bold and manly
in him, and evinced the highest moral cOur-
age; and were now called upon to indite the
inscription on the plain granite obelisk which
kind affection will rear to his memory, would
make it brief and simple:
HE MORTAL REMAINS OF THE AUTHOR OF
ATHERTON' RESOLUTIONS.
This fact, so honorable to his head and
heart, which the epitaph will commemorate,
will live in the records of his country, though
the shaft that points heavenwards from his
Wondering clay may crumble into dust y
will not invade the hallowed precincts Of
that gricfstricken family circle where he 50
lately stood as a shining centre, dispensing
light and joy; but now. alas made so dark
and cheerless. Time alone furnishes sooth-
ing balm where the heart bleeds Outside Of
that circle there is one whose sensibilities have
been deeply wrung by the event. Our honor
ed Chief Magistrate has lost one of,his earliest
and truest friends. The arm which he had
fondly hoped TO lean upon in the trying re-
sponsibilties of his situation IL now cold and
pulseless-that tongue, always devoted to
truth, upon which he trusted to yindicate his
motives and his honor, is silent in DEATH
The learning and wisdom'which were TO coun-
sci him in his troubles, have sunk, like bright
lights, TO rise no more Oh what sad havoc
has not death recently made with those around
whom the Presidents affections have been en-
twined Let not the solemn admonition be
lost upon him or upon ourselves"

In the United States Senate, Mr.. Hamlin,
OF this State gave notice on the 18th inst, of
bill to satisfy the claims of American citi-
zens for spoliations on our commerce COM
mitted by the French prior to 1900, The
claims have been paid by the French govern
ment and the money is now in the U. D
Treasury. II is high time the persons 70
whom these claims are due, many Of them
widows and orphans reduced 20 poverty, should
receive the money justly belonging to them.
Mr.. Bradbury nearly accomplished the pas
sage of the bill last session, but it was little
too late to get it through. Mr.. Bradbury de-
voted himself assiduously to the work, and is
Justly entitled to the thanks of the numerous
claimants in this State. A bill for the pay
ment Of these claims was passed by both hous-
es during Mr.. Folks administration, but was
vetoed by him on the ground that the exigen-
cies of the public service, demanded that the
money IN the Treasury should be reserved for
the prosecution Of the war with Mexico. We
are glad Mr.. Hamlin has presented the sub
ject at an early period of the session, and can
aot doubt that Congress will pass the bill.
A stigma attaching TO the government will
then be removed, and many poor claimant
will rejoice an compensation for pecuniary dis
aaters suffered years ago. There is hardlya
port IN Maine where these claims are not just
ly due ~ o-..f r...s., s f.,f-.ar. .4i
