LARGE FIRE IN NEW YORK.
The Water Street FIre-The Loss Esti.
mated at SR4O.OOO-TWO Mem Hninrod.

AS anticipated in our report of yesterday, the
entire building and its contents were destroyed.
The south side wall fell shortly after twelve
O'Clock and crushed in the sheds of the cement
and plaster yard of Murray & Roberts, No. 247
South street, running through to Water street. A
citizen named Christian Fahrer was injured by
the falling wall. He was rescued from his perious
position by roundsman Thompson, of the Seventh
precinct, and taken to the Station House, his
wounds dressed, and subsequently taken TO his
residence, No. 81 Jackson street.
Shortly before O'Clock fireman, named
George Wayman, a member of No. ii Engine
Company, fell from a shed while in charge of
the pipe, and was badly hurt The police took
him to the Station House, where Surgeon Blevin
dressed his injuries. He was subsequently sent
home to No. 437 East houston street.
Toe following is a list of the property de-
stroyed, and the names of the owners and the
estimated value. The iusurances could not be
ascertained as each owner insures his own
goods, ana none of them were present to give
tie information desired:-

The building was owned by the late ". W.
DeForrest. The damage will be about $50 OOO
said to be insured. The damage to the property
of Murray q Roberts may be estimated at $40 OO0
John Mcmahon, shipwright, occupied the second
floor of the building No. 247 South street Loss
about $500 insured. The storage of ]. H.
Hobby, No. 249 South street, is only slightly
damaged. 1t appears from a statement made by
the receiving clerk, that about ninety bales Of
cotton were taken in the afternoon previous to
the fire, and from appearances there is no doubt
that the fire was IN the cotton when put into
the store. The estimate of the property is its
sound value; in all probability there will be a
salvage of from thirty to forty per cent The
police of the Seventh precinct have been untiring
in their exertions to protect the property exposed
in consequence of the fire, and are deserving OF

Now his letter Of appointment required
him TO report in person TO the superinten-

courteous and dignifed gentleman, but, at

his trunk upon the steps, and was at once

Unlike most Of the cadets on their first

the slightest degree abashed, but felt entirely
selfpossessed, and taking a chair close Ia

follows:
Domestic animals generally seem to be

perhaps, been no period in the history of
this city where so many ofthem have been
seen on the streets. They mostly so in pairs.

gaunt this spring, Others appear remarkably

Ey- The Pittsburg Mining and
Manufacturing Journal thus speaks of
the vast mineral wealth of the Kama
wha Valley:
The Great Kanawha river trayerses
one Of the richest portions of the Ale
ghany coal fields. The mines are be-
ing rapidly developed in many places,
and during the summer considerable
coal was shipped TO Cincinnati and 9th
er points down the Ohio. The Great
Kanawha is not subject to the low wat
er in summer, and ice blockades in
winter, that so seriously interferes with
transportation -on the Upper Ohio
During the month of June, when our
coal shippers were waiting for "coal
tide" the miners on the Great Kama
wha shipped some two hundred thou
sand bushels of coal to Cincinnati
Unless our river improvements come
shortly. and Pittsburg coal proves its
superiority over that found in other
open departments of the same field, We
may find these Virginians, in some
sense, forestalling our legitimate mar
kets.

Reduction of Taxes.

1t is stated that the Revenue Com
mission, appointed to make investiga-
tons into the subject Of revenue and
report thereon, viii recommend re-
duction or taking off entirely the tax on
manufactures and raw articles, as well
as reduction of the income tax, prob
ably to three per cent. on incomes over
a thousand dollars, and cuttingit of on
ali under that amount. 1t is believed
also that the Secretary of the Treasury
viii indorse their recommendation in
his report to Congress. In view OF the
large amount of revenue raised on the
present basis of taxation, and also in
view of the large decrease in the cur
rent expenses of the Government, some
reduction of taxes can safely be made.
The revenue can be materially reduced,
and yet enough be raised to meet the
expenses of the Government and fur
nish large surplus for the reduction
of the national debt. We trust there
fore that Congress during the coming
session will make the reduction.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.
1t appears that the interview of Gen.
Grant with the President, which occur
red week before last in regard TO the
question of amnesty and suffrage, was
of very earnest, significant character.
1t is understood that the General took
strong grounds against the scheme as
an utterly unsafe one upon which TO re-
store the rebels TO power, and further
that be urged Mr.. johnson to accept
and recommend the Constitutional
Amendment as faI and Just plan of
reconstruction. He took the ground
that people had declared for it in un-
mistakable terms at the elections, and
that it would be exceedingly useless to
disregard their wishes as thus express
ed.
To all this it is said the President
listened without indicating his own
views, but causing a decided impress
sion upon the mind of the General that
his advise had not produced the least
effect.
1t is known that Gen. Grant is of the
opinion that enough of the Southern
States would Immediately ratify the
Amendment to make it a part of the
Constitution, provided Mr.. johnson
should give it his support.

R Gerrit Smith, an original mem

E Gerrit Smith, an original mem
Der of the old Abolition party, is out
with letter in favor of concilatory
policy towards the South. He says
he objects to the punishment of Davis,
and says:
Mr.. DaYis has, indeed, wronged his
country; but so, also, has the country
wronged Mr.. Davis. The country
moulded his pro-slavery character, and
is largely responsible for what has
come to him and his country from that
character. Our guilty nation, in look
ing upon Mr., Davis. should rather pity
than hate its own legitimate offspring.
And Gen. Butler, instead of invoking
punishment on the head of Mr.. Davis,
had better fall on his knees before him,
in penitent remembrance of his own
prominent connection with the exceed
ingly wicked pro-slavery democratic
party, but for whose depraving influ-
ence Mr.. Davis might this day have
been an innocent and happy anti
slavery man
