to get rid of them. Every wool-grower
in the country, without an exception, was
ruined by the immense mortality of their

Remarkable and Destructive COnIa-
grafton.

grafton.
A most remarkable and most destructive
confagration occurred in Allegheny City
on Tuesday evening. Some boys accident
ally caused the ignition of scum of oil
floating on the surface Df the water in
dam across Butchers Run, a small stream
emptying into the Allegheny River within
the limits ofthe city. Becoming frightened
by the flames, the lads removed the dam,
when the whole fiery mass swept down
stream, destroying as 1t went. The Pitts
burgh papers state that twenty-five build
ings were consumed and property to the
value of one hundred thousand dollars de-
stroyed. 1t is estimated that fifty families
are left homeless by this unfortunate
event, many of whom are now dependent
upon charity for shelter.

The announcement of the Standing
Committees was the principal feature of
to-days session of the House, Their
composition TURNED out quite differently
from what had been generally anticipated,
but there seems to be no complaint except
from the New York delegation, who claim
that none OF their caucus selections, except
in the case. of Pomeroy, were needed.
They think this particularly hard, mas
much as Massachusetts has the Chairman
ship of four principal committees while
the West inclndjRg Kentucky and Cali
fornia, have The Craftsmanship of twenty
committees and three members in the
Ways and means Committee. Garfield,
of Ohio, Wentworth, of Illinois, and ALI
son, of Iowa, are the latter named. Rep
resentative Moorhead, of Pittsburgh, was
also placed on the Ways and Means Com
man Of the Committee on Manufactures

Seward and the Monroe Doctrine


The rumor in regard to correspon-
dence between the French Emperor and
Secretary Seward, in which the Secretary
declares against the Macmillan govern
ment and in favor of the Monroe doc
trine, is the more credible because it states
nothing which was not perfectly natural
and to be expected. The only feature Of
the story which looks fshy is that which
alleges that Napoleon addressed his COM
munication TO Secretary Seward direct
This Is not the ordinary mode of conduit
ing diplomatic correspondence. But the
position ascribed to Secretary Seward is
by no means surprising or novel. 1t is
the position which our government has
maintained from the first, and in which it
is unanimously sustained by the people.
Nor does tho reported correspondence at
all change our relations with France or
Mexico. 1t leaves us where it found us,
in an attitude oF passive but watchful
to the MACMILLAN usurpation.
1t does not commit US to any active sup
port Of the Republican government of
Mexico. Its only significance is in indi-
eating that the policy Of the administra-
ton remains unchanged.

A piece OF CI,arnctcristic Mcnnncss.


Many OF our readers viii Remember
that during the late rebellion the citizens
of Jones county, Mississippi, who have
been strong Union men from the first
organized rebellion against a rebellion,
seeded" from Mississippi, and success :
fully defended themselves against troops
sent to subdue them. Their action of
course drew down upon them the ire of
the Mississippi rebels, and the legislature
of that State has just manifested the
feeling in very characteristic manner by
changing the name of the county 10 Da1is
and that of its county seat (Ellisvillc) to
Leesburg. A more stihgihg insult could
not be offered to the brave and patriotic
citizens of Jones than this, which afIixes to
heir county and county-seat the names of
the two chief traitors in the rebellion
And yet, singing as it is, it is only an
intimatiOn of the pleasant things which
are in store for the people of Jones county
and the other Unionists of Mississippi
when the red d-handed rebels now control
ing that State shall be fully restored to
power by The President and Congress.

man.
