q The hate trngedy in Washington has
elected a number Of comments and stric-
'tures upon tho society, habits and morals
Of Washington society and especially of
the fashionable world u that city. These
structures have called forth the following
reply Of the Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore American, which bear
the impress Of truth and justice. That
writer says:
"An effort is already made to impute
to Washington society the deplorable
tragedy which has excited such deep emo
unjust. There is no more refined, pure
and cultivated society in the country
than that which is composed of the sta
the official society, which is necessarily
first being accessible only to those deserv-
ing its recognition, and the other, of late
years especially, opening its doors wide to
the world, to court popularity, and with
out any real regard to the standing of the
multitude so admitted. This has become
a common subject of remark, particular
ly since the advent of the present Adj
ministration. And it is very well known
that the consequence obtained by the
parties in this sad affair was derived MAIN
ly from the open and unconcealed partial
ity and intimacy of the President. They
brought no social antecedents of any kind
here, which might claim regard, and if
tithe of what is now in every mouth be
true, the imposition of such people on
society at all was gross outrage from first
to last, involving all who were concerned
in it, officially or otherwise. As these
facts are likely to come out upon the trial,
they may not be properly referred to in
any other than o general way at this time.
But they are as notorious now as the
character of those implicated and such
has been the common repute always"

Fire at Knoxville.


We take the following particulars of
the fire at Knoxville from the Register,
ofthe 18th:
On yesterday wednesday, morning
Mt about two and quarter O'clock a. M.
it was discovered that there was fire in
the large Queensware establishment of
Mr.. T. j. Powell, on Gay street, near the
Post Office; and the alarm was given, but
by the time the doors were broken open
the fire had gotten such hold as could not
be arrested; and very soon all the inside
combustible, was entirely consumed, and
nothing saved worth naming.
The Dry Goods Store of Messrs White
& Williams, adjoining on the South side,
was also consumed, as well as that adj
Joining on the north side, occupied re-
Gently by Mrs Beard & Sharp, in which
Mr.. w. T. Dowell was just opening an ex-
tensive lot of Dry Goods.
The long frame building, still little
further south, occupied by Woodman &
Cox, as Candy Depot, was cut down and
carried off to prevent the spread of fire in
that direction.
The building occupied by the Branch
Bank of the State, adjoining on the north
side of Dowell, was cleared of all the in
side wood fixtures, and that recently oe-
cupied as book store, and that occupied
by Mr.. Murrah, Adams & Co.'s Express
Agent, and that occupied by the Post
Office, and that occupied by the Knoxville
Register printing Office. From the Bank
to the Printing Office, everything inside
of the buildings; together with the doors
and windows, and the roof of the print
ing office, was pulled down and carried
out of the way. and only the wahs LETT.
