Tl,e voice of The keystone Stale.

The Allegheny county, PenE,l Union
convention was held on Tuesday last and
made nominations for the county election
TO be held in October next. The resolu-
tons adopted by the convention have the
right ring to them. We append a few
samples:
Re diced. That the people OF Allegheny
county will sustain the course OF their rep
resentatives in Congress, upon the quetiOn of
recon struction, and that the action of the
Republican majority in Congress upon that
question ; and in the passage of the Civil
Rights Bill meets with our hearty concur
rence.
Resolucd, That the removal Of Rspubli-
cans from Office by the President, not be-
causr of ineompetency, neglect or malfeas-
ance, but because they will not surrender
their profoundest convictions and basely
betrsy the party to which he and they both
owe their elevation, involves ingratitude
and nfdelity which cannot be excused or
palliated, aud which provokes the con
demnstion of every man Of honor and viz
tue,
Resolred, That the unfaltering devotion
of ths Hon. Thaadeus Stevens, during a long
and illustrious career, to the cause Of free
dom and h~umanity-his hatred of treason
aud traitors and his fearless advocacy CT
the light, stamps him as the man above all
othe 5, whom we can safely honor and trust
as a leader in this crisis.
a yet more significant action, if that be
possible, was taken by the convention in
upon the table, By a unanimous
cote a couple of resolutions, the first Of
which deprecated the attack upon the
President and the second of which en-
dorsed tho President as "a firm patriot a
profound statesman, and a warm defender
of the people in all sections of the u
try Tho Union party of Western Penn
sylvania arc a unit in support of Con-
gress and in opposition 10 Hmy policy"

Amid the large number of quite bad

find one containing an article which en-

appears as The leading editorial in the Is
sue OF the Esd instant which reached US

reader 10 note its tone as well asits terms,

the first rank in the journalistic
place OF honor, il contains no abuse of the
North. not a word against the Radicals,
not a syllable il favor OF the late Confed-
eracy-nothiDg, in short that ought to be
offensive ever TO Thad. Stevens himself.
Il is brief, too, as well as vigorous, and if
we might have expected that the leading
thought Of the reverend doctor would be
somewhat more celestial, we have little 10

THE OIL CITY FIRE.
$1,000. 900 DeSIrOyed-Greatest Fire
Ever known In the Oil RegiOns-2JO
Families HouseIess-5OO buildings
Burned-Ten Acres Burned Over
No OIL Burned-TOtEI Insurance
aV2O OOO

From the oil City Monitor, Extra, May 2sth.
On Saturday morning at eleven o'clock,
one Of the most destructive fires broke out
in this city ever known in the oil regions
The fire originated in q laundry on Low.
street, near Centre street. The alarm was
promptly given, and hundreds assembled
at the place in less than ten minutes. The
fire was soon through the roof, il being
only of dry boards. Every man seemed
TO feel an interest in checking the flames,
for the entire city was in danger-bus as
the day was pleasant, and a strong breeze
came up the Allegheny it was impossible
to prevent the spread of the flames, with
the facilities to be obtained. Lines were
promptly formed to the nearest wells, and
all the water exhausted yet to no advan-
tage. Soon the fire was across TO Seneca
street. As the fire spread the intensity Of
the heat became so great rs TO render 1t
impossible to approach, SO the only alter
natsve was 20 remove the contents of the
bnildiEgs on Seneca and Low streets.
Many only moved their furniture into
the street where it was almost as soon
burned as their buildings surround ng.
As the fire crossed Seneca street and
approached Centre street with unchecked
rapiditv, the excitement became intense.
Until now few realized the great danger.
Nothing was in the power of humanity to
save the whole or any part Of Centre
street, with all its extensive stocks of
hardware and dry goods.
Transfers were in grea. demand and
boatmen were pressed into service at ex-
orbitant prices. Goods were rushed out
the rear OF stores in tofsy-turvy style and
in stampede haste. By twelve o'clock it
became kppareDt that the whole of the
east side Of Oil City must be destroyed.
Merchant Building, the new and mag
nifeent block erected by Messrs. Gordon
* White, burned in a very short time,
and the NJ. NJ. Church and school house
followed.
Crossing the street at the foot of Cot
tase Hill, the flames rushed madly onward
as if bent or total destruction OF the resi-
dences al the way 10 the summit. Wo-
men and children FASTENED from their
homes, in many instances but to see their
all burned BY the mad elements. Fortu-
nately, however, the flames were checked
before crossing Grove Avenue, thus saving
all of Cottage Hill. The whole Of Centre,
Seneca and Low streets we're burned TO
the limits OF the city, also that portion up
Plumsr road, and the whole of the way %
far as residences extended. BY strenuous
efforts the fire WAS prevented from cross
ing the Creek at the foot bridge. Had it
crossed here, or had the oil tanks Of 5. VI.
Kier & Co. caught fire the west side OF
the city must have gone too.

b The preliminary proceedings for the ar
rangement Of the boat race between
james Hamill, Of Pittsburgh, L. s, and
Henry Kelley, the champion of the
Thames, were settled on the 18th. 1t is
agreed that the race shall take place in
the second week in July, on some river
in England, to be chosen by Hamill be-
fore that time. The conditions are that
there shall be two races, one TO be rowed
five miles straight on one day, and the
second race to be rowed on the following
day, two and s half miles out, round a
buoy, and two and ahalf miles back again.
The stakes are e250 a side for each race,
making $1,000 in the aggregate. The
American will receive sI00 for his ex-
penses in coming over to England. He
is now staying at Observation-Disclosures
where, it is believed The race will be
rowed.

Lore heartle.s. dastardlr 6

A more heartless, dastardly case Of
complicated crime has seldom been re-
corded. Since the departure of the chief
actor in this strange tragedy, various new
facts have been brought to light. 1t has
been a~scertained That Baurganani, though
according to his statement "alone in the
world" has two brothers residing in this
city or vicinity, one of whom is a man of
some means. The existence of these re-
latives has been successfully concealed
from his wife aud adopted family for a
period of seven years, and has only been
discovered by accideDt.
1t has also been ascertained hat al.
though in his farewell letter to his bene-
factress and wife ne states that he has
made provision for her maintenance,
such provision is of the most dubious
character, the $50 per week promised
being altogether in the power of som
mysterious confederate, who can, at any
time, refuse to advance the money. The
letter also states that S 1000 due from the
sale of a cottage belonging to his wife
will shortly be placed in her hands, but
for this statement also there's no evidence
save his own word, under the circumstances
no very trustworthy security. 1t also
seems that the Italian has not only robbed
his wife of her all; but has also collected
some $4,000 belonging to the ~granddaugh-
ter, his victim, so hat in reality the viii
lain has absolutely deprived the two wo-
men, wholly dependent upon him, of
every dollar that they possess in the world.
The amount of money with which he has
decamped, will exceed, it is ascertained,
$40, 900 IN gold.
In brief, a case exemplifyng nor love,
more scoundrelsn, more generosity, and
more baseness, moro blind trust and more
utter profigacy, ingratitude and worth
lessness has seldom or never been made
public. Skillful lawyers have been en-
gagged by the friends of the deserted wife
TO ascertain if the law can have any hold
upon the fugitive, but w fear that he has
escaped all chance Of justice.
In its moral aspect alike, and its social,
whether we consider the crimes themselves
or the historical status of some of hepar-
ties, the Bourganani-Eaton case seems des-
tined to rank among "the causes celebrees."
