Know No.hinss Independent Of Party Politics
The Norfolk Herald CONTAINS the following

The Norfolk Herald CONTAINS the following
in regard to the recent election 10 chat city !:
Well, our election day has passed. and that
new and mysterious power which has prevailed
at all the municipal elections that Rave taken
place throughout the country during the pres.
eut year, THE Know Nnthings," have tri-
umphsd here also. They have by a decisive
majority elected their mayor. beating the most
excellent and efficient gentlemsn who has filed
the Office with such general satisfaction du-
ring the past year-yet. e%lecting his prede-
cessor-a gentleman no less esteemed in the
community, and who had also discharged the
duties Of his office with credit to himself and
to The satisfaction of the public. 1t is evident
that this mysterious organization. so potent
for good or evil, is totally unconneoted With
party politics aud that it is as liable to be
affected BY appeals to the party preiadices Of
its members, as the rock Of Gi5ralter to be
blown into the sea By a puff Of wind. The
batteries Of four journals, three democratic
and one Independent, in this %vicitity, were
opened upon it. and poured in an incessaut
storm of denuncia,ion day after day, for weeks;
but it only added fuel to the flame which was
sweeping oil before it; or rather, it only drew
closer the bands Of the mysterious union which
Knocked and defed their efforts.

DESTRUCTIVE AZ
National Theatre. Chinese Museum, and some
Forty other Buildings Burnt.

PH~ILADELrnIA, July Cur city has been
visited with another very destructive fire
which occurred last night. 1t DESTROYED the
National Theatre on Chestnut street, the Chi
nose Museum or Ninth street, ard some for
ty large stores and dwellings extending from
Eight to Ninth streets, and from Chestnut
to George streets.
The Girard House was in great dagger and
saved only by almost surcrhumaD exertiors.
1t is impossible at present to estimate the
amount of loss by this calamity, bat from a
rough guess it may be put down at one mil
lion Of dollars. and probably more.
The proportion of insurance is not yet as
ccrtaiacd. An immense amonnt Of property
has been consumed. This FIRE was in the
heart and most valuable part Of the city.
G~sEcoND DISPATCH
The FIRE last night originated in the Ma
tional Theatre from the firing Of a gun du.
ring tie performance, soon after 10 o'clock.
Tue flames spread with great r%apidity, and
the entire building was soon a heap of ruins,
the walls afterwards falling. Fortunately 20
lives were lost.
The surrounding houses csught on the
roofs, and it was not long until the entire
block, forming the choice part of the city, was
a heap Of rules.
The Art union Hall toek fire and was con.
siierably damaged.
Many fine stores on Chestnut street were
entirely burnt out, soine of the proprietors
being insured ouly to a moderate extent. 1t
is impossible to form aay.hiog like a correct

"All We kaow Of those people is. that they
often make themselves felt ut elections, and
generally 60 10 for the side that wins -
Whether their going in is what makes it win,

We know nothing f the "Know Nothings,''
as an organization; but we agree with the
Tribune, that'those people often make them
selves felt at the Eleotions;' and we hazard
nothing in predicting that 4AmericaniSm will
carry all before it 10 the approaching elections
throughout the country. In this City and
State, we are prepared to sec an entire revo-
lution-a clean sweep, from the Governor
down. The revival of this old Revolutionary
ism, which is but another name for patriotism,
is the brightest omen for the future that has
dawnod upon the Republic since the days Of
'76. If we understand the feeling, it is not
at all notwithstanding. in fact, but a
simple demand for justice. 1t t~olerates all
seets, and iaterieArs with none. it receives
the oppressed and poverty stricken ofali lands
with open arms and even invites the aliens of
all climes to partake { fthe rich inheritance OF
liberty, civil and religious, purchased aud Is
tablishcd by the blood aud sacrifice of our
fathers. But it will not submit to be ruled
by foreigners in the affairs Of State, or to be
intcrfeared within the GOVERNMENTS Of relig-
ion. All the Americans ask is absolute tol.
