Hon. G. w. Julian.

Mr.. Juhan our member OF Congress
elect, who has been put into another dis
trict, for the rake of convenience, made
speech here on Thursday evening last,
to large aud appreiative audience. This
effort was one OF the best We ever heard
him make. IL was n correct statement OF
the acts of Congress since lS49 aud
1850 up 10 the present, which clearly
showed how men become radical, how
slavery was wiped out, showing the war,
and reconstruction measures OF Congress,
together with his connection with the
same. Finally. on his part, it was render
ing an account, to the old District, of his
stewardship, we believe all must award Mr.
Julian honesty ia his public acts, since a
member of Congress. he conclusion of
his speech. by request, was devoted to the
6nanci"l policy of the country. Mr. Julian
was in the happiest vein We ever saw him.
the audience cheering him all through his
speech.
At the conclusion Of his speech, A. j.
Nef offered the resolutions:
"Resolred That we heartily indorse the
war aud reconstruction measures of Con
gress, and freely approve Of the course Of
our worthy representative, Hon. Geo. w.
Julian"
The resolution on a request that all
should vote, was unanimously adopted, ex
cept one single no, given by some man
who had the fear Of Andy johnson before
his eyes.
We venture the prediction that Mr.. Ju-
liam will go back to Congress from the new
District, formed for the express purpose oi
beating him. without desiring to inter.
fere we should be glad to see the people
indorse him in the new District Win

fame. The fire spread with such rapidi-
ty that nothing could be saved Is head

then caught the extensive saddlery shop
Of W. II. Watkins l. Co, and their build
ing, together with large portion of their
stock, was destroyed, Loss $1,000; In
sared for SO, 600. By almost superhuman
efforts the fire was coufned to these
limits. Buildings that stood within twenty
feet were miraculousIy saved. There IS
no doubt il was the work of an incen-
diary.
LATER.-An individual, calling him.
