Secession Movements.

We have not space for any extended ac-
counts of tho secession movements in the
Cotton States. The excitement appears to
be abating somewhat, though the vaporing
of the disunionists continues. Large con-
sentative meetings are being held in Virginia,
kentucky and Tennessee, and the tone of a
large majority OF the papers in oil the States
but South Carolina, is against the insane
projects ofthe secessionists. 1t is most proba-
bile that the commercial panic which these
arch traitors have assisted to engender, re-
coiling as 1t will with most force on the
Southern States, will aid in bringing them
to their senses.

FIRE.-The house Of Daniel Stimson Esq,
on Crescent street took fire on the afternoon
of Monday last, and before the fire was put
out much damage was done to the house and
furniture, from the combined effects of the
water, smoke and fire. 1t took FIRE from the
boiling over of kettle containing tar which
was placed on tho stove to soften, the tar
taking fire and communicating the flames to
the House. Mrs. Stimson in endcayoring to
carry tho burning tar out of the house was
somewhat burned.
Tho loss of Mr.. Stimson will exceed five
hundred dollars. Tho engine Boys were
promptly on hand as usual.

"The Quakers have voted."

After the election Of Buchanan In 1886, our
Buchanan men in this city got up one Of their
peculiar demonstrations, in honor OF that pleas
ant event. In the programme for the occasion
there were Examinations, pyrotechnic displays,
which, by the way. got FIRE in the wrong time
singing badly the tail Of the horse attached to
the wagon, in which they were carried, trans
parencies, some Of them delightfully."- personal
to their opponents, and notices indicative OF
what had been done, and what j. b., would do
for his country. Prominent among these
notices were illusions to the vote Of Pennsyl-
yania suggesting the fact that "the Quakers
have voted" Some Of the houses OF our most
prominent Democratic citizens were adorned
with this suggestive fact.
Well 1t is presumed they had, and although
their vote was not then quite to the liking Of
the Republicans, they have done a little bust
ness in the same line this year which is every
way to the taste Of the Republicans. "The
Quakers have voted" aus the following little
table shows how they voted.
