Three Children burned to Death
From the Peoria (lllO Democrat.l

tFrom the Peoria (lll0 DemOcrat.1
A most terrible conflagration, by which
the house of Mr.. George Grazier, residing
on the road leading from Hale's mills to
road No. z, two miles north of the Farm
ington road, in Kickapoo township, was
burned to the ground, together with all the
contents, and three children asleep, occur
red on the night of Monday, October 18th.
1t seems that Mr.. Grazier had been to this
city, and returned about 10 o'clock at night.
Ee ate his supper, took care~Uf his horses
and prepared to 90 to coal bank short
distance away, for the purpose of getting
out load of coal, as he was coal
digger and hauler. He, took down a
coal lamp for the purpose of filling it
from can full of kerosene oil. In some
way the oil caught fire and the can ex-
ploded with great noise. The house
took fire Immediately, and the flames
spread so rapidly that it was all that Mr..
and Mrs. Grazier and boy, aged six years,
could do to get out of the building. They
were all in flames, and Mr.. G. tore the
clothes from his wife, boy and himself, and
rushed back in the burning building to
rescue the three other children, who were
asleep in bed. The heat, however, was too
overpoweriDg, and Mr.. G. was obliged to
rush into the open air without saving
his children, who perisbed in the flames.
He had hardly escaped from the burning
building the second time when it fell,
burying the children in the ruins. .,
The children who met this horrible fate
were boy and two girls, aged respectively
twelve years, eight years, and fifteen
months. Mr.. Grazier was so badly burned
that it is thought he cannot recover.

The Associated Press Reporter I'm

Several of the Washington sensation Re.
porters for Dailies in other Cities are mad
because the Associated Press Reporter
In Washington persistentIy refuses to
turn either to the right hand or to
the left, in the discharge of his public du-
ties. When THEY undertake to pass of
their sensation rumors as reliable intelli-
i gence, HE furnishes the TRUTH to the press.
This makes them howl; and they are now
trying to traduce him, and to lie about him.
While the Associated Press Reporters in
some places are undoubtedly partial and
partisan, we always feel safe in relying on
the reports we get from the Associated
Press Reporter at the National Capital, as
being impartial and free from partisan bias.
He has a hard and trying position-one
that requires intelligence, judgment, eau
tion, and discretion but he has ever been
found equal to every requirement of the
place. In travelling with the Presidential
Party when on their recent trip, his reports
were singularly and accurate; and
we think no one could call in question their
strict and rigid impartiality. rssl.
We have long K ,wn L. A. GoBR1GHT,
the Washington f. poi ter for the Associated
Press, and we have never inquired where
he stands politically; nor do we care to in
quire, SO long as he furnishes accurate, sat-
isfactory, and impartial reports, as he has
been doing all along. We are sure that we
shall never have occasion to find fault with
him; and that nobody else can justly con-
demn him, who WI be satisfied with such
reports as it is al ne proper for him to fur
mis- h the press OF all parties.

Tho Maryland ImbrOgIiO--The
New Rebellion that II Threaten
ed.
FoRNEY has been trying to get up re-
belllon in Baltimore, in order to bring on
another civil war In the United States; and
II he fail In his purpose, It will not be his
fault. The Jacoblns are so manifestly in
the wrong in this matter, that they will be
very apt to back down and allow the law
to take its course. The case may be briefly
stated thus:
At the last Gubernatorial Election in
Maryland, the Republicans elected Govern
or SWAMI to the position he now holds, and
also the present Police Commissioners for
the city of Baltimore. During the next
session Of the Legislature of Maryland,
thereaftet that body, to secure the faithful
performance of duty by said Police Com
missioners, enacted law, one clause OF
which reads as follows: ",For official mis-
conduct any of said Commissioners may be
removed by concurrent vote of the two
Houses of the General Assembly, or By the
Governor during the recess thereof" This is
the law granting to the Governor his power
In the matter. 1t is precisely like many
other laws of the same kind, in
almost every State. Grave charges were
filed with the Governor against the Police
Commissioners of Baltimore; and, as his
power is clear and unmistakahle under the
law, he called upon the Commissioners to
answer to those charges. This they refused
to do, and threatened to appeal to force to
prevent the Governor from performing his
duty. The Governor was not intimidated
by Jacobin threats and bluster; and, ac-
cordingly, notified the Commissioners, that
he should begin to hear testimony as to the
charges, on last Friday, when they might
appear and cross-examine the witnesses,
and present such testimony in their own be-
half as they should deem necessary. AT
first, they replied that they would not APP
pear, either in person or by counsel; and
that If the Governor attempted to remove
them, they would resist by an appeal to
arms. He began to hear testimony on
Friday, and the Counsel for the Commits
sioners were present and cross-examined
the witnesses! If the charges shall be sus-
tanned, the Commissioners will be removed
when FoRNEY will have use for his Radi-
cal Secret Organizations, if ne shall then at
tempt to carry out his Jacobin programme;
BUT HE WON'T DO 1T! Mark the predic-
tion. The Government has put down one
Rebellion: it can put down another

We allude in another place to the
change of views experienced by the
President and his mouthpiece, the
Secretary of State, since the latter
telegraphed Cows. Sharkey and Mar
vim that the restoration of the civil
authority in the South depended
npon the pleasure of Congress. A
similar change has been brought to
light among the other official docu-
ments on reconstruction submitted
to Congress. In North Carolina, Mr..
Seward decided that the members
elect OF the convention could not take
their seats before obtaining pardon.
In South Carolina a score of leading
members sat through the entire ses-
sion without being pardoned, and
yet their application, though post
poned to the day before adjournment,
received the distinguished, favorable
and prompt consideration of Mr..
Johnson.-Nati0n.

Peace Proclamation.

The following is the Presidents
explanation of his peace proclama-
tion, and shows what it is intended
to door not to do:
The President, in conversation
with General Howard respecting the
Freedman's Bureau, has said some.
thing of importance by way of inter
probation of his recent peace procIa.
nation. He says It has enly such
scope with reference to the States
named therein as his former procla.
tion had with reference to them. He
regards 1t as only another step in the
policy of reconstruction being pur.
sued by the Government. 1t does
not suspend the operation of military
law in any of the States, and the
Freedinen's Bureau will continue to
exercise its accustomed functions
throughout the South. Army officers
will remain on duty as ITS agents, and
justice will continue to be admins
tered between the freedmen and the
whites by the existing semi military
Courts, till the various States give the
former the right to be heard in the
civil Courts in the same manner that
the latter are. The President refer
red to the fact that military power
was exercised in Tennessee as well
as elsewhere in the South, and spoke
particularly of Gen. Fisk's admins.
tration of the affairs of the Bureau IN
that State. lie would remain there
and the proclamation would not cur
tail his powers, nor the powers of any
other agent of the Bureau.
The rebels of Kentucky the Presi
dent regarded as of worse spirit than
the people of any other State. Gen
Fisk had not been too severe with
them, and the freedmen of that State
as well as those of Maryland, would
still be protected by the military
The scope OF the proclamation will
respect to military trials by courts
martial and commissions, does moi
seem well understood even by officers
high in authority here and elsewhere
The department commanders OF Geor
gia and Alabama have telegraphed
here for information on the subject
and it is understood that the matter
was brought before the Cabinet to
lay. What action was taken is moi
known, but there are good reasons
for believing that the War Depart
ment will soon issue n circular OF
general order of instructions.

Loyalty at the South.

The Nashville Press and Times has
a number of very interesting items
from Alabama and Georgia, going to
show the animus of the people of
those States, their loyalty and good
feeling towards the Government and
people of the North. Here, for in.
stance, is one of them;
"On the subject ofrepudiating the
United States war debt, the politi-
clans and the people are nearly unan
imous. They all say that either the
confederate war debt must be paid,
or both debts must be repudiated.-
One candidate said in crowd on the
streets, that he had killed more id
Yankees than all his opponents put
together. Not a solitary Union man
was selected to any office, high or
low, at the recent elections. They
would vote for no man who was not
q thorough rebel"
And this short paragraph shows
the feeling which animates the great
mass of the people, not only of Geor-
gia and Alabama, but of nearly the
entire South. The evidence OF this
fact is overwhelming, and Of char
acter which admits of not particle
of doubt Every newspaper received
from the South is filed with it, and
every traveller which returns from
there, and every southern correspon-
dent for northern papers, whether
Democratic or Republican, bears tes.
timony to the same fact. The mass
of the people to day, including nearly
the Whole leaders, are as disloyal to
the Government, and hate the Union
and the loyal people of the North as
much as at any time during the four
years of civil war! There can be no
doubt of this. 1t is plain to be seen
and read of all men, who will but open
their eyes and understanding.
What folly tLen, and worse even
than folly to talk of restoring such
people rs these at once and uncondi.
tionally to share in the Government
of the country! 1t would be doing Q
great wrong, both to the loyal people
of the nation, and to these semi. rebels
themselves, and most outrageous
wrong, to the minority of loyal Union
men of the South, who mast go down
and be killed, or prosecuted out OF
the country, as they we're during the
war, if these people are allowed to
have control of the political power
land State governments at the south
They need long course of discip.
line and education in loyalty before
they will do to trust with power, oil
to take part with loyal people in the
affairs of the Government. To ad
NIT them now to share in the Gov.
ernment, or to govern themselves,
would be to encourage them in trea.
son and disloyalty, and to make the
hearts of all loyal men at the south
sad, and their condition unsafe, if no;
intolerable. 1t would be II great
wrong, as well as dangerous expert
ment, liable to result in more diilicul.
ty and sectional controversy and
quarrels than ever existed before the
war. Surely Congress and the Ad.
ministration can see this, and will
have the courage to do their duty -
The people of the rebel States are in
no fit condition to be admitted to full
fellowship in the Union.--IndianG
Gazette.

The President. Congress md Con-
ncctivut.

Copperheads are very much disap-
pointed over the result of the Con.
nectlcut election, and seem to he in
the dark rs to the reason Of the sue
cess Of the Union party. The reason
is so simple that a child might com.
prehend it, and is this the people
are right; and no amount of hood
winking, be it done by the Copper
heads themselves or persons holding
high official positions, can turn them
from their course.
The result of the election in Con.
necticut shows how the majority o.
the people Of that State look upor
the trouble between Congress and the
President, and viewing it in the most
favorable light possible is not com
plimentary to the latter, The issue
made was whether the people would
sustain the policy Of Congress or
that of the President. The Union
candidate for Governor had openly
expressed himself opposed to the re-
construction policy Of the President,
and favored that Of Congress, and
those who assisted him in the can
vass had made similar declarations; /;
while on the other side, Mr.. English,
the Copperhead candidate, had given
pledges to support Mr.. Johnson 5
policy under all circumstances, and
with that understanding the latter,
over his signature, said he favored
the success of the party that support
ed Mr. Eagiish. All these matters
were w,ll understood, and on these
terms the State was canvasscd, and
more thoroughly than for many years
previous. The result is known /; the
State was carried by the Union par.
ty--Congress was sustained. This
seems to be the only way in which
the result can be viewed, when both
sides are carefully scanned. From
this verdict it sens that the people
Of the State of Connecticut are de-
termined that none of the advantaS es
gained by our armies shall be lost
that the President, however honest
he may be in his opinions, has the
right to suggest a policy to Congress,
but not to dictate one; and that
Congress is the controlling power OF
the country. These conclusions
force themselves upon the mind OF
any one who understands the posi-,
tion Of affairs in Connecticut, how,
ever 10th he may be to accept them
