FIRE Fire was discovered in the dwell
.@- occupied by Mrs. Stevens, Milliner on Main
Street, at about o'clock Saturday evening, and so
tr advanced as to render fruitless all efforts to
save it There was goodly crowd on the ground
ii few minutes, and all hands were turned to the
voga Of saving the dwellings of Judge Wiliston
and lIr. Richards on either side. Fortunately
We may say providentially- night was not
windy, and the atmosphere surcharged with driv-
1g scud, or, in the absence of anything like a
'1pply of water for the engine and pailmen neith-
e, ho9se could have escaped serious damage. The
-ine was on the ground in season, and while the
liter lasted did good service. As it was, it saved
III. Richards house and greatly aided in saving
hat of Judge Williston. But everybody near the
tzildIng worked well-we may say heroically, and
vLsu all did so well it would be invidious to men
ton any one in particular.
The fire was kindled by an incendiary without
doubt There had been no fire in the house for a
week, as we are informed. The affair should be
thoroughly investigated, and when the guilty one
Is found, 'let the law do its duty" The act of
setting fire to a dwelling so located as to endanger
inhabited dwellings on either hand, is worthy of
capital punishment WeQSboro' Agitator.

The SENATORIAL QUEsTIoN.-It will be
observed that we have quoted pretty largely
from the comments Of the Vermont papers
upon The Senstorsbip; not from all, nor ali
from each quoted, but enough to show the
general sentiment. On all bands Judge Po-
land has been kindly treated and yet II is
very evident that great contest is anticipate
ed in the next Legislature between the Judge
and Hon. j. s. Morrill, for the Senatorial seat.
In this fact lies the only complaint that has
been made as 10 the Governors course. To
many Of the friends Of Mr.. Morrill, il did
doubtless seem that the Governor had given
the preference to Judge Poland, and fore
stalled the next Legislature, 80 far as his per-
sonal influence and official action could do.
The Woodstock Standard has expressed what
many felt CT feared. But that is unjust to
the Governor, whose course we are sure has
been accurately interpreted by the Burling-
ton Free Press in the remarks we have copied
from II.

Previous to President Johnsons note of
Nov. II to Gov. Humphreys, be had distinct
y laid down but three requirements for the
admission Of the relel States to the Union,
viz; the repeal Of the ordnance of secession
population Of the rebel debt ratification OF
the emancipation amendment. But in that
note he prescribes additional requirement,
which is, 1.-THE adoption of such measures qiU-
ing protection to all freedmen or freemen in
person and property. without regard TO color,
as will entitle them to resume an their con-
sututional relations in the Federal Union"
1t is true, the President has intimated the
ptopriety of such measures heretofore, and
perhaps the only reason why he did not put
it the form of positive requirement was his
confident belief that it was not necessary
II this be so, the extract above does not indi
cate so much a step forward on the part Of
the President, as a falling back of the South
from the good opinion he had formed of it,
But it is, nevertheless, a substantial gain
that the President has put this declaration
on record. 1t let's the whole South know
just what must be done before they can count
upon readmission to the Union. 1t will be a
tower of strength 10 the freedmen, giving
them motives to patience and good conduct,
which they have not hitherto enjoyed. And
it will powerfully tend to rally the loyal mass
es still more heartily in support of the Ma
tional Administration.

THE PREsIDENT AND THE FREEDMEN.-
We take the following interesting statements
from the speech Of Gen Fisk, n Brooklyn,

"The President said to me yesterday -
we must follow the indications ofProvidence.

must do justice to the blacks ] saw the

pie. (Applause.) That good man President
Lincoln made them free, and am determined
they shall be. applause | am resolved
they shall have a fair chance, and that justice
shall be done them. II the people of the
North could know how l am badgered and
hampered, if they could know Of the difficult
ties which surround me, they would think
something to do And in regard to the sus.
pension Of the Freemens Bureau, ] say il
will be discontinued when the people Of the
South treat the colored people with justice
and fairness. Take back your resignation,
sir go back to your work and do the best
you can, and I'll stsn5 by YOU Applause,

interview more than ever convinced Of the

DISTRIBUTION OF THE SExEs.-The mum
Der of males in the United States is 10 $685.
S54, against lS,0O4,37 females, showing
6Sl,462 excess of males, according to the
census of 1860 so that there is now more
than man to every woman in spite Of the
loss by the war. In Europe, exclusive of
Russia, Turkey, Prussia, Switzerland and
Austria, there are 81. $50, 796 males and So
SAC, 9l8 females, showing an excess of 096,-
1873 females. This difference in Europe is
accounted for by the fact that 942 06S more
males than females have emgrated to Ameri-
ca. That accounts for the excess of males in
this country Had it not been for this we
should have near SOC, 900 more females than
males. Had the emigration of the sexes been
equal there would be in Europe about l00,-
600 more females than males so that this
country is far more favorable than Europe to
the increase and preservation Of females
