THE total amount covered BY the Rtna Poi

THE total amount covered by the Rtna Pel-
l cies on property destroyed or damaged is
sos S54, on which salvage will be about Eve
per cent. Our total loss will not vary much
from S200,000, and was promptly adjusted and
paid. This sum is five per cent. upon the Com
pany's assets, figure but slightly exceeding
our Government and State taxes paid last year,
or a proportion equal to 5000 loss for a COM
pany Of $4,000 assets.
The necessity for insurance and the value Of
wealthy, strong corporations is forcibly IL
lustrated by this fire. Several weak insurance
companies are destroyed. Portland has a
population of 35,O0O-was handsomely built

REGISTRATION MEETING IN MANCHES-
TER.-A large and respectable meeting of
the white citizens of Manchester was held
at the Town Hall on Tuesday night to
adopt measures to secure a full registra-
ton of the white voters Of this magSte-
rial district.
DR.. A. S. McRae was called to the chair
and Linden K. Clarke, Esq, was requested
to act as secretary. The objects Of the
meeting having been explained by the
chairman, interesting and able addresses
we're delivered by J. A. Clarke, Esq, Dr..
l.. r. Chiles, Captain W. l. Clopton, and
William L. Holt, Esq.
On motion of K. II. Beazley, Esq, a
committee of six was appolnted-wlth au-
thority to enlarge their Iumber-to can
vass the district, in pursuance Of the de-
sign of the meeting. a profound interest
was manifested by all present, and it is be-
lieyed that extraordinary efforts will be
used to induce all white persons who have
not registered TO come forward and do so,
in order that they may assist in arresting
the furious tide Of radicaiism which IS
threatening to ovcrwhelm and bury in one
common political grave the hopes and
liberties Of the American people.
Yirginians be not false to your past
glorious history! Be not ia lSe to the gal
liant men whose graves, everywhere to be
seen on your sacred soil, are sad monu-
ments of their renown and Of devotion to
principle! Be not false to yourselves and
TO posterity by failing to seize the only
opportunity which may be afforded you of
striking great moral blow in defence OF
your unhappy country. Let every man
register, Remember, the price of liberty
is eternal vigilance"

TABLEAUX AND MUSICAL ENTERTAIN
MENT on CHURCH HILL.-A few days ago
we briefly alluded to proposed exhibition
of tdbled'lr UiudntS under the management
of a number Of interesting young ladies in
the eastern part Of the city. We now
learn that the entertainment will certainly
come Off tonight at the residence of q
prominent citizen on the corner of Twen-
ty-ninth and Franklin streets. This place
has been selected on account Of the diff
Guilty found in procuring a suitable hall
for the purpose. The proceeds Of the en-
tertanment will be given to the Third
Presbyterian church, and will be devoted
to a worthy object.
Glancing over the programme we notice
an unusual number Of striking scenes, the
characters in which will be represented by
young ladies moving in the "upper ten F"
Of the east end. Beside these, additional
attractions will be presented in the musi-
cal line, the Richmond Quartette Club and
a number of our leading amateurs in vocal
music having volunteered to sing on the
occasion. Mr.. Matt. O'Bricn will favor the
audience with some Of his comic songS-an
announcement which would draw 4 crowd
at any time.
Many tickets have already been sold,
but they may also be obtained at the door.
The performance will commence pune
tually at half. past o'clock.

ance upon the United States Commissioner
day after day. In view Of all these facts
we demand his discharge.
Mr.. Chandler reioined, stating that no
more reason existed for the arraignment OF
Mr.. DOwney than for the arraignment OF
any other citizen. The same objection
might be made to any one. Isit not better
to take him than to pick up some poor devil
who has no position and no money? No
prejudice can be said to exist against Mr..
Downey. The gentlemen have said that
the oath says 81 am not rO1C disfran-
chised." Such Is not the language but it
says shave not been" and Mr.. Downey GER

tuition. / will not argue at length the
question Of the force Of that Constitution.
admit that the action Of the United
States Government in regard to the State
governments in the South has been con-
fcting, but Congress took the back track
only for political purposes, as is well
known.
Mr.. Chandler then became rather ex-
cited, touched in bitter manner upon the
alleged inconsistency Of the southern peO-
pie, and finally became rather personal in
his remarks to Mr.. Johnson. The latter
exhibited his readiness in repartee by sharp
words in reply, and the scene was amusing
but ill-becoming the occasion.
In conclusion, Mr.. Chandler urged that
the Commissioner, sitting as a committing
magistrate, should send on for probable
cause Of crime. There was such in this
case. The gentlemen are right in their
construction if We were before the jury,
but in this case there is certainly ground
to continue. He insisted upon the post
ponemcnt, expressing, however, the kind
est feelings personally toward Mr.. Downey
General Johnson dwclt upon the points
before advanced, and replied briefly to
Mr.. Chambers personalities. We regret
our inability, for lack Of space, to give the
argument in full.
The Commissioner stated that as the
case was one Of Importance he would post
ponc the announcement Of his decision for
a few days. Subsequently, Mr.. Chandler
at the suggestion of Mr.. Downey, altered
his motion for postponcment Of the trial
until the 1St of November instead Of the
25th Of July.
