! The firemen worked with heroic forti-
tude, but their efforts were entirely
fruitless, and at the present writing the
whole building is a mass OF unsightly
and blackened ruins Messrs. Farran
d Mclean, the proprietors of the En-
quirer, estimate their loss at 100000
upon which they have an insurance of
nearly 500 900. The four-cylinder press,
located in the cellar, is covered with
the debris, and it is impossible TO tell
how badly it is injured. In the store
room, on the third floor, were stored q
great number of valuable cuts, $l7 600
worth of which were owned by Mr.
John Robinson, the circus manager.
Upon this there was no insurance.
BAKER STREET.
On Baker street the flames made sad
ravages. They first commenced at the
stable of Adams Express Company, To-
Gated in the old colored church. In
this staole were quartered several horses
belonging to the Company, but they
were all taken out safely Some four
or five wagons were burned, together
with all the harness, feed, DC From
mere the fire spread to the gambling
house of Messrs. Leur d Mead, and
the whole building was completely
Quilted. The walls are so BADLY injured
that they will have to be pulled down,
if they have not already fallen The
gambling house of Mr. Whaley, adjoin-
ing the Opera House on the east, was
next attacked by the deadly iend
The greater portion of the building,
however, was saved, and the principal
loss will, therefore, be by water.

Houses on Baker and Third Streets
Consumed.
Total Loss sI,sOO,OOO.


The most terrible and fercely de-
structive fire ever known in the annals
of Cincinnati history, took place last
night The beautiful art palace, Pixies
Opera House, which but yesterday stood
in all its splendor, is no more and the
only vestige remaining of CINCINNATI 8
grandest ornament is pile of blacken-
ed, smoldeTing ruins.
The EXPLOSION.
About fiften minutes past II o'clock,
those of our citizens who were near the
corner of Fourth and Vine streets,
were startled by loud explosion, fol-
lowed almost Immediately by a rumb-
ling noise like that of thunder. Al
most before sufficient time had elapsed
for those in the vicinity to realize that
an explosion had taken place, the whole
heavens were brilliantly illuminated,
and flames were seen to dart forth from
the rear part of the Opera House, and
before the alarm was given, the whole
back portion of that beautiful edifce
was in flames.
THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
At the time the curtain rose for the
performance of the last act of Midsum-
mer Nights Dream, the ordor of gas
escaping was evident to all, and when
the curtain descended, after the play
was concluded, the smell was Just as
strong. The audience dispersed, and
the building was locked up. About
half past eleven o'clock, the private
watchman of the building, Michael
Toohey, started with a lantern to 20
through the building; TO make sure
that all was safe. Since that time, and
up to the present writing, l a M, moth
ing has been seen of him. 1t is sup
posed that upon opening the door of
the scenic room where the gas had un-
doubtedly been escaping, it ignited, and
the explosion ensued. Many theories as
TO the origin of this most terrible fire
have been advanced, but the one cited
above seems to be the most plausible,
both from the fsct that an explosion
took place, and that the watchman,
Toohey, who it is positively asserted
went through the building, has not
since been seen.

The DaytonsJquraal promptly dis
abused the mind of its contemporary

Misplaced Confidence

Many Democratic papers were vic
timized by a careless or facetious
editor giving the Chicago Republican
credit for the infamous article pub
lished by the Times, of that city, COM
pairing Gen. GRANT with PRoBsT. the
murderer of the DEERING family: and
since discovering that they were sold,
have been entirely silent on the SUBJ
ject.
Among the victims was the Day
ton Einpire-VALLANDIGHAM's home
organ-which, confident that the in
famous article originated with the
Republican, went in strong as follows !:
when the rebellion was at its very
height, Southern journals afforded nothing
sin the way of invective exceeding this. ITS
qohoIe spirit is deUtlish. We are at Z, loss to
conceive the nOtiUe Of such atrocious cIefana-
ton. Not only is Grant branded by this
organ of Black Republicanism as "A

Growing Anxious.

The Vincennes San is becoming
terribly exercised with the fear that
the JOHNSON State Convention, pro
posed and being engineered by our
good-looking, but somewhat Visionary
friend, GARLAND d. ROSE, will prove
a failure. We fear the editor of that
1oyaz and cbly edited sheet will go
into " conniptions" unless something
is done for him. His pent up feelings
find vent, in his lastissue, in a prolific
appeal to the several officerholders in
Vincennes to come to the rescue of
GARLAND and his great convention.
Like the Priests of. BAAL, he cries
aloud, drinks mean whisky, and tears
his neither integuments In his despair
ing appeals to the Postmaster, United
States Collector, &C., for help in his
hour of peril. Let the San editor be
cared fory or dreadful consequences

GEN. FITZPATRICK has been flying
around in Chilli like wild colt in pas
ture field, making himself extremely ridi-
culous. While the bombardment of Val
paraiso was progressing he mounted a
horse and rode through the streets, saying,
as distinctly as actions could speak, what
a brave man am !''-Cdiro Democrat.
1t is very natural that rebel news
papers should hate Gen. FITZPATRICK.
They have never forgotten how he
rode through Mississippi and after
wards through Georgia and South and
North Carolina. We presume no man
with brains ever doubted that he was
and is a brave man, and we can not
see what cause there is to blame on
abuse him for riding through the
streets of Valparaiso while the bonn
bardment was progressing, directing
and encouraging the firemen and citi-
zens in their efforts to extinguish the
fire caused by the Spaniard's shells.
Had FITZPATRICK been a rebel and
done no more than he has, including
his ride through Valparaiso the Dem
esat could not find fitting words to'ex-
press its admiration.

The Louisville Journal thinks the.


THE Louisville Journal thinks the
assumption, in the recent report of
the Congressional Committee on Re
construction, that the legislatures of
the Southern States are competent to
act on an amendment of the Constitu-
ton, necessarily comedies that the
Legislatures of the Southern States
are valid bodies; that valid Legisla-
lures cannot exist except as the organs
of valid States. Our Territories have
valid Legislatures, and the laws enact
ed by them are binding upon their
constituents. But the people of those
Territories are unrepresented in Com
gress, and, in the case of Colorado, the
Journal approves the veto that denies
that Territory. admission into the
Union. Should Congress enact that
this Territory, after complying with
certain conditions set forth, should at
once be admitted a member of the
Union, we apprehend the Legislature
&
of the Territory would take prompt
action and decide to accept or reject
the terms proposed. So with the
Southern States. They elect. their
own Legislatures, but because they
do so it does not necessarily imply
that they shall also be permitted to
elect members of Congress. The lat
