fare.

A new house, just erected at Dam No 6,
in Morgan County, by DR.. A. G. Hammond,
was destroyed by FIRE on Wednesday last.
Mr.. Samuel Rice, the carpenter who built
it, lost all his tools. Some suspicion exists
that it was the work Of an incendiary, though
it is thought it may have been set on FIRE by
sparks from the locomotive as the house was
near the railroad.

LETTER FROM mR. THOMAS.

The following letter from hIr. Thomas pre-
sents, in part, the basis of our statement in
reference to the course, at one time, rroposedor
agreed to be pursued BY Mr.. Cushwa S counsel
That statement, however, has not been denied,
and we have not felt ourselves called upon,
therefore, to sustain it further. 1t will be per-
ceived, that it was only because Of ssairer Of
the objection TO the closing Of the Polls, that
Mr.. Lucas thought the validity Of the election
could not be enquircd into 'sat all" We have,
heretofore, shown and, no doubt, satisfied our
readers, that the twenty-one compliments NEVER
watred h at objection. The very style Of the
case forbids that idea--being ALEXANDER NEW
coMER Us. BARNET CUsEwA, in all the orders Of
Court:
MARrINsBURG, August LIST, 1854.
Dear Sir Your favor of this morning re-
questing a note in writing Of the statement Of
Mr.. Lucas, with respect to referring the election
back to the people, has been received
A conversation occurred between the Editor
Of the Gazette, Dir. Lucas and myself, at the
July Court in reference to the contested election
i do not pretend to give the precise language of
MI Lucas, as had rot thought ci le parocu-
larly, till yesterday morning, when my atten-
ton was called to it My impression is that
Mr.. Lucas expressed The opinion that it would
have been the true course for the Court at the
June term, to refer the election back to the
people, but the Court having consented to waive
that point, and determined to go into scrutinu
Of The polls, he did not think that they had any
right to go into an Investigation Of the validity
of the election at all.
Yours very respectfully,
franklin THOMAS.
