LOSS 2OO,OOOl
Charles Moore Burnt IN the Ruins.

A destructive fire occurred in Nashville
Tuesday night last, originating in the count
ing room of Messrs. Cook, Moores & Co.,
North side public square. next to Interna-
tional Hotel. destroying several houses and
doing great damage to property.
The charred body of Charles Moores, of
the firm of Cook, Moores & Co., formerly
of Fayetteville. was fot,ld amid the ruins
next day. How he came to his death is
only matter of conjecture.
The safe of the firm was found next day
TO contain the assets uninjured.
The Press and Times estimates the loss
as follows:
1.-The loss OF Cook, Moores q Co., can
not be exactly determined, though it is es-
timated by the senior partner to be some
$50, 900 more than the amount Of insurance,
policies having been taken in several Nash
vile and Louisville companies.
The loss of R. S. Page is from $4,000 to
$50, OOO; no insurance.
The loss of Furman d Co. lin clothing
and dry goods. is laid at $500 with in
surance for $4,000.
The loss of Adams, Gibson & Co., is
estimated at 100000, with insurance fOI
half that sum.
Two thousand dollars win probably cover
the loss of the International Hotel, and
$500 that of skif & Wills, mainly from
water.

IT requires the assent of three-fourths
Of the States to ratify an amendment to the
Federal Constitution. The radicals are
urging the Southern States to act in their
capacity as such, in order to carry the
constitutional amendment. While thus
recognizing their Statehood, they refuse to
allow their members to take seats in Con-
gress. They are States enough to assent
in changing the fundamental law of the
land, but cannot be permitted to act as
States in Congress They are States for

to the terrible condemnation which they
