Ere at tho second National HanE

The alarm OF fire at G2 o'clock last even
ing proceeded from the Second National
Bank, on College street, near Union. 1t
was found that fire had caught from de-
fsctive fue, either in the bank building or
the one adjoining it, and communicated
itsslf 10 the ceiling over the entrance lead
ing to the rear of the bank. 1t was fortu-
nately discovered before gaining much
headway, and was promptly suppressed.
But slight damage was done by the fire,
and not great deal of the water thrown
upon it. A few hundred dollars will cover
the entire loss.

reasonable Theory

We yesterday conversed with yell-iu-
formed gentleman from locality in Ten
nessee about which some pretty huge Ku-
Klux stories have been told, who advances
theory as to the origin of at least some
Of these statements, which is not without
seeming, il not real plausibility. He says
that not alone in the section from which
he comes, but in various other parts of the
State, neutrality-suspicious. have established
the fact that there are white men and ne
groes SO anxious for Gov. Brownlow's mill
tia TO be called into service in order that
they may have chance to get Office in the
organization, or in some way draw money
out Of the public misfortunes, that they
do and say everything in their power,
however untruthful and wicked, calculated
10 make the State authorities believe there
is Immediate and I'm avoidable necessity
for calling out the militia. These unscru-
pulous men greedily grasp at every breach
| of the peace between private individuals
that can possibly be worked up to suit
their purposes, and manipulate it into
an outrage attributable, directly or in
divertly, to the Ku-Klux, an organization
said by these persons 10 be composed en-
tirely Of Rebels. The burning of school
houses, churches and dwellingsi is frequent
ly accounted for in the same way, when il
fact the men who thus Islander the ghosly
khan, if there be ghostly khan, are them
selves the criminals. In their great anxiet,
to have the militia called out, these grace
less scamps even commit outrages on thei
own friend in such a way as to make it ap
pear that the Ku-Klux were the guilt
parties, aud write letters to Gov. Brownlo1
and Radical editors charging innocen
parties as the perpetrators. These fellow
want something TO do, and thinking serviC
in the militia when there lie no enem
to fight about The easiest thing they ca
get, they resort to these crimes and mi
representations in order to make deman
for their services. Will the Governor {
Gen. Cooper want such men for soldiers?

The New York Post of the afternoon Of
the Sth inst. says:
"The money market works easily to
borrowers on call at six and seven per
cent. Among government dealers and
stockholders SIX is the common rate, while
the banks generally obtain full seven peg
cent. Such of these institutions as have
Southern and Southwestern accounts are
daily making free remIttances to those
sections. This demand is now most urgent
from pork packers A few banks, whose
western connections are mostly intel ested
in the grain movement, report small re
turns of currency"

money article of the Sth inst. The propo-
sition to return to specie payments as fol-

urged our undisciplined and partially

of the rebel capital. The question of
adjusting the national currency aud the
national credit requires as much s'ght,
