ExPLAINED.-There is no doubt that a
secret organization existed among a GER ain
class of Southern sympathizers in this State
during the war. The organization was cx-
posed, just before the last Presidential cleo
ton, by the publication of the by laws, signs
and pass words of the order, in the American
Flag. Considerable curiosity was manifested
OF the time to know how the Flag came into
possession of the documents. but the editor
kept mum on the subject Recently, how
ever, Mcdonald, who was then connected
with the Flag, and who is now editor of the
Oregon Unionist, published an article ex-
planning how the Flag obtained the papers
which set forth the aims and objects of the
REASONABLE organization. At the time of the
arrest Of the Santa Clara stage robbers, one
of the party turned States cyid nee against
his companions, and thereby secured his own
liberation. After his discharge he visited
the Flag Office and offered to expose the
organization, of which he was an official, and
furnish copies of its by laws and passwords,
for consideration. The Flag purchased
the documents, and after putting the Gov
ernment detectives on the tract of the lead
ers, published full details regarding the
Knights of the Columbian Star, branch of
the Southern X. G. c..

FIRE AT CHuRNTowN.-A fire broke oui

FIRE AT CHURNTowN-A fire broke out
in the store of Mr.. P. Mullee, at Churntown,
at o'clock on Tuesday morning, by which
the building and contents were entirely de-
stroyed. The store room was warmed by
an old. fashioned fire place, and Mr.. Mullee
had placed a large log on the fire the evening
nrevious. He slept in room adjoining the
store room, and on awakening from an
uneasy sleep at five o'clock in the morning,
he arose and opened the door leading into the
the store, and found the room filled with
smoke. The burning log had rolled from its
place during the night and ignited the
floor. Mr. Mullee at once rushed to the
well, obtained bucket Of water, and threw
it on the flames, which had the effect of
stopping the progress of the fire temporarily.
but on hastily lowering the bucket into the
well a second time, the bottom was knocked
cut Of it by the sudden contact with the wa
ter. and before another bucket could be got
ready for use, the flames had made such
hcadway as to render the destruction of the
building a certainty. Mr.. Mullee had lately
received large stock of goods from San Fran
cisco, and he estimates his loss at about
eight thousand dollars. Nothing whatever
was saved from the building. Thus, in the
coarse of few minutes, worthy man has
been bereft of the earnings accumulated by
wears Of close attention to business. Mr..
Mullee deserves the sympathy of every one,
and we hope may soon recover from the
results of his late misfortune.

RETRENcHMENT.-The present Congress
promises to be remarkable for its measures of
retrenchment and economy in public expend
itures. Since the commencement of the
present session numerous measures have
been originated which will result in curtail-
ing Government expenses, and tend to ren
der taxation less burthensome. Mr.. Spauld-
ing's resolution, which was adopted, is
intended to do away with investigations con-
Quoted by select and standing committees in
places remote from tho capital, and which
annually cost the Government vast sums of
money. The House, after thorough dis
cussion Of the subject. adopted Pixies resolu
tion declaring that it is unnecessary to pro.
ceed further at present with the building
and equipping of ships of war. Mr.. Wash
burne introduced resolution, which was
adopted, declaring that in the present fnan
cial condition of the country, any further
purchases of territory are inexpedient, and
that Congress will not consent to pay for any
more territorial purchases. Mr.. Morrill, has
introduced bill into the Senate, providing
for the reduction of the military forces of the
country, which, when it becomes law, will
lessen the expenses of the Government mil
lions Of dollars annually.
These measures are very important, and
tend to show that Congress recognizes the
necessities of the country, and is determined
to legislate in such manner as will reduce
the expenses Of the Government, and lift the
burthen of excessive taxation from the
shoulders Oft the people.

Speaking Of tho SANDERS of Gtner-
nj Grant. invented and repeated by
coppcvicad pa crs and speakers, with
n few honorable executions, The New
York Herald very scmsibly. remarks;
Some ot f.,cse personal assaults are
among the most remarkable of the
stupiditics and curiosities OF this can
vass. For instance, a certaiab seriblcr
for party purposes undertakes to
show that Gene al Grants grand and
crushing campaign against the REBEL.
ION deserved drumhead court
martial. instead of promotion Of any
kind; and another scribbler OF the
same school, while por;raying Grant
as the gratcst Of bntchers and blan-
aerers, presents Lee as the finest liv-
ing model Of great soldiers. This is
the height Of Democratic folly. In
various other WAYS, including the
Rosecraus White Sulpher mission,
they are doing mischief to their
cause in bringing into the foreground
the active leaders aud politicians Of
Ltn cause rl NtN lU0u attu ti'istu.
Then. again, while in Mississippi the
white Democracy at their campaign
baibecucs are ieas,ins their fellow
citizens Of African scent on foot
ing Of equal ish.s, the Democrats Of
he Georgia Legislature arc spelling
this work of concilia,ing and gaining
the black vote by expelling the negro
members Of the Houso as ineligible
on account OF their race aud color.
All these things, we say, have
wiped out the political popular reac-
ton which was inausnra'ed in the
elections of 1867, Just as the copper
head leaders spoiled tseir successes
OF | see by their foilies OF 1868, This
contest is tins thrown back subsian-
tally to the great issnc OF 1864, Of
