to last night were the st. Nicholas, st.
James, Lafarge, Astor House, Lovejoy's
Hotel, Belmont House and::Barnun's Mu-

The Commercials Washington special
says there is considerable speculation as to
whether the President will take Republi-
can for successor to Mr.. Bates. Mr.. Caleb
Cushing is spoken of, but it is not probable
the President will select so decided DEM
ocrat.
1t appears, the woman arrested on sus-
picion ofbeing concerned in the ineendiary-
ism last night, arrived in the city but few
days since from Baltimore, and took 8 room
at the st. Nicholas last night, lust before
the fire broke out there. She went to the
Laforge House, read short time and left
just before the fire broke out there. She
then went to the Metropolitan and engaged
room, the FIRE breaking out there very
soon afterwarS- Althougheloselyq question
ed she refused to disclose the nature of her
business here.
CertaiRpapers found in her room pointed
30 strongly to a man stopping at the La
forge House, who was recently discharged
from Fort Lafayette on the ground that he
was British subject, as an aceomplice, that
he was also arrested. He was very nervous
and excited when taker and diselaimed
any connection with the ~fair. The man
ner in which the fires were produced show
ed preconcerted plan in the hotel, the
bed-clothes, trunks, &c, were covered with
PHOSPHORUS matches, which were also
scattered in the beds; the fires were then
set and the rooms locked, as in the July III
OF. The th ewes swarmed about the hotel
doors ready to rush in and plumber when
the fire was under way, but the timely sp-
pearance of the police prevented this por-
ton of the programme from being carried
out. The panic at the Museum was in
tense, but fortunately, the fire was quietly
subdued. The bottle containing the phos-
phorOus was found, and is like those used |
the incendiTies elsewhere. At the Winter
Garden terrible panic was created by some |
person simply crying FIRE. The entire fire |
department. was aroused with the police. |
Measures were adopted for the safety of life |
and property for the remainder of the |
night. The attempt, which was really well |
planned has failed. 1t has shown what |
might be done here and elsewhere, and /
will inspire increased vigilance throughout /
the North. sThis morning an examination
of the Astor House took place to learn if /
any attempt had been made to fire that
building, when, on opening room No. 200,
an immense column of smoke poured out I
into the hall. The fire had been shoulder
ing throughout the night. The floor was
burned through, the bedding saturated with
the chairs placed on the bed,
and the clothes thrown over them. Tho
room had been occupied by one person since
the goth, and his arrest will soon be made.
The damage will amount to about $4,000. /
A person in Li0utenant's uniform made an
allusion who occupied one of the rooms
fred, was arrested this morning. Arrange
ments have been made to day for prOtec-
ton against repetition of the incendia-
rism.

New YORK, Nov. 26.-The Worlds Wash
ington special says Richmond papers of the

Milledgeville.
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle and senti-
mel prints the following extract from letter
dated Madison, Georgia, 9TH If Gov. Brown |
tells the truth in his message, we live under
8 worse tyranny than was possible in the |
