Great Fire at st. KitC-TerrIbIe DOstruc-
tiOn Of Property.

ST. BAssETERRE, July II, via Havana, July
A-A fire broke out on Wednesday evening"
the Sd of July, at about IL 80 p. NJ. in the centre
OF the town, ana defed all efforts made to arrest
its progress. 1t quickly spread in all directions
its ravages only ceasing with the almost total
destruction Of every building in BasseJerre. All
the public buildings, such as the Court House
and Town Hall, as well as the Treasury, not
situated in the centre of the town, have miracu-
lously escaped; while, on the other hand, the
beautiful parish Church of St. George has been
almost totally destroyed, and OF the stores In
the town not one remains. OF the origin of the
disaster no Information is Afforded
In conseu uence of the total destruction of the
stores and other places of business and the loss
a complete dearth offood, and anxiety is mani
tested lest to the calamity which has already
befallen us another should be added in
the form of famine and pestilence. The de-
mand for food became of such pressing nature
that Captain Badger, of the United States
steamer, had been prompted to render such
assistance as partial supply from the stores of
his shj D would permtt-an act OF kindness aud
generosity to q suffering community for which
he deserves the greatest commentator.
Only one life is reported to have been lost.
Only fifteen respectable housessare left stand
ing, and every merchant and storekeeper is
completely burnt out.
The Bank shared the same fate, but the vault
held out and when opened the cash and books
were found to be safe.
The value of the property destroyed may be
safely put down at f3OO,0OO Of which only $4,000
was insured.

About ~ o'clock A. M, yesterday, Fritz

ninth street, was engaged in stirring quantity
of ''mash"-used in the manufacture of whis-
Ryn d ih e. large eifSusT & ea2 30 ieeG @ Ia aepGh
and while he stirred IL another workman
played a stream of water upon 1t from line of
hose, causing dense and noxious vapor to
arise. While thus engaged the board or cleat
upon the end of the pole used by Jongh, came
on In the tub. Producing ladder, Jongh
placed 1t in the tub, and attempted to descend
for the purpose of procuring the cleat, although
he had, In common with the other Workmen,
proceeding. He had descended but a few steps
when he was overcome by the vapor, and fell
backward into the "mash." His fellow-work-

fell In. Undeterred by the fate of the others
another workman named William Werner in
turn descended the ladder for the purpose of
aiding his comrades, who were loudly crying
for help, and he, too, fell in before he could
even reach them helping hand.
By this time the news of she accident had
spread throughout the building, and the pro-
prtetor and remaining workmen crowded
around the tub, eager to render assistance
Several attempted to descend the fatal ladder,
but were prevented by the proprietor and the
more prudent of their companions. AT length,
by m cans of the hose already mentioned used
as rope and other appliances hastily prepared
the men were dragged from the tub. Physicians
were at once summoned, but the men showed
no signs OF life after being drawn out and on
the arrival of the physicians were pronounced
TO be dead. The bodies were removed to the
MoTeue at Bellevue Hospital, where later in
the day Coroner Schirmer held an Inquest A

THE NATIONAL GAME.
Athletic, of PhiladeIphia, vs. Union, OF
Morrtsanin.

The ehome-and-home game between these clubs
was played yesterday afternoon on the Union
grounds Brooklyn, Is. D., in the presence of
some three or four thousand spectators, and
proved to be a very good "muffn" game on
the Union side and o rather tame display
of strength on the Athletic side. The only
ones who did themselves justice on the Union
side were Beals and Austin. Each of the Others
INDUCED in beautiful wild throwing and hand
some and delicate "muffs." The Athletics, al
though playing steady game, did not bat or deld
at all up to their standard. Mr.. Flaney, as umpire,
was undoubtedly impartial; but lie gave again
several of those mo strike" rulings which have
lately been imported from tout West.D It was
asserted that the "no strike" is an old rule. It
must be so very old that the Printing Committee
forgot it. Perhaps Mr.. President German could
be induced to ascertain that there was an error
in printing rule twenty-one, and that the "no
strike" belongs to it. Why ball hit by the
striker while not standing on the line of his
position should not be foul ball and be gov.
erned as such, just as well as 1t can be termed
mo strike" is question to be settled. Now a
striker may make mo strikes" until he has
learned the range of the pitching without the
fear of being put out; but if it we're declared
foul he would run the risk of being out on the
fly or on the bound, and ieopardze his fellows
running the bases. The ruling on this occasion,
as on q former one, was, to say the least,
supremely absurd.

General Grants Position.

The Albany EUenirg Journal, discussing the
"To argue from General Grants reticence that he is
not 70 be trusted seems 70 us entirely unwarraned
the insincere loquacty so frequently found In public
If this implies only that a General in Chief
of our armies may probably evince "reticence"
with regard to our current politics, we entirely
agree with 1t. We justify even greater "reti-
cence" than was evinced by General Grant
when, near the close of 1865, he made his hasty
Southern trip, and based thereon that report
which was generally understood to favor the
Johnson plan of reconstruction. We can form
Ger which would require him to indite or sign
such a report Be 1t finally understood, then,
that "reticence" as to politics is not in our
view q defect in a General in Chief. In a Re-
publican candidate for President 1t might be
otherwise

ut determined in the mind of Johnson that
that Grant should the duties of the Office than
that $ shSuIS fall Into the bands OF an mpiIG and
endeavor render important service TO the country
Is prevented and snperseded as he may be, we shall
have additional evidence of his reliability"
conception. We did not suppose II imagined by
any one that General Grant is in any case TO
oficiate permanently as Secretary of War. The
first point in the Presidential game was to get
Stanton out He could not be turned out; he
was not inclined TO go out. TO have notified
him that his place was wanted for Steedman or
jerry Black would only have evoked a response
that 1t could not be had. But, when Gen. Grant
uOtlneu MIN IhaI ne nau accepJeu Gue post,
Stanton felt constrained to give 1t up. And
now, when the time comes for installing the
| coming man, Gent. Grant will be notified that
| the place is wanted, and he will quietly vacate
| It, He has no right to do otherwise The pro-
| visions of law which would have justified Stan
| ton in holding on have no application to him,
| as his appointment was never confirmed, and
| never meant to be. He has served the Presi-
| dents turn in serving TO oust Stanton. This
/ done, he may go-the sooner the better. His
| important service" is already rendered-uot
| to the country, but to Johnson, What follows
may or may not be imposing, but 1t will not be
