UNCONSTITUTIONAL learn to-day that
the bogus State organizations at the South
are to he recognized with railroad speed,
upon some secret understanding, the ulti-
mate specific object Of which is yet sort of
mystery. Vague hints are thrown out that
Notwithstanding the Ubiquitous conditions of
the acts of recognition there is probabili-
ty that the mass of southern electoral votes
will be cast for the Democratic ticket. No
reliance whatever is to be placed upon this
theory. But allowing it to be correct, what
excuse does it afford to any Democrat or
true Conservative in Congress for infiicting
upon their southern brethren so grievous a
wrong as is involved in these Internal or
ganic acts Very curious speculations are
ailoat as to the bearing the machinati, MS in
respect to this subject will have upon the
action of the Convention at New York on
the 18th of next month. Undoubtedly Demo
cratic unity was never in more danger.
The inquiry is uppermost in eyerybody's
mind, Wherefore attempt to achieve victo-
~ by the sacrifice of every principle held
vital! THAT is, by nominating Chase. +

FIRE AT THE WASHINGTON GAS WORKS.
Last evening an alarm of fire was caused
by fire at the gas works in the First Ward.
The fire was first discovered in the brick
building used as the ex-governor room, two
yards from the gasometer, and within few
minutes slight explosion occurred. The
engines were promptly on the spot, and
several streams were thrown on the build
ing. The ferceness of the flames, however,
demanded an increased supply of water,
and the entire fire department of the city
was accordingly called out. Streams Of
water were continually thrown between the
gasometer and the burning building, out
of the windows of which rolled great sheets
of flame, while from the side OF the
gasometer the coating of paint had
already commenced to peal under the
influence of the intense heat. 1t was
apprehended for awhile that the gas in the
gasometer, which was heavily charged at
the time, would explode but by the per-
sistent efforts of the fremen this dread ca
tastrophe was averted. In short time the
flames of the burning building were under
control, when suddenly on immense mass
of flame shot full fifty feet high in the air
between the building and the gasometer,
caused by the bursting Of apipe or the dis
arrangement Of stop-cock. The fremen
Immediately turned several streams into
the cavity from which the flames issued,
and finally extinguished them. No further
trouble was encountered, and soon not
single spark was to be seen. The ire
caused a very limited supply of gas through
out the entire city last night, and in many
places lamps and candles were required to
furnish sufficient light.-Chronicle, 4h.

Special telegram to the Dispatch.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 4, ls6s.--The
Baptist General Association of Virginia met
here to-day. There is good attendance
from all parts of the State, and more than
thirty from Richmond. There are connect
ed with the body SCI churches, 1886 ordained
ministers, and 1854 members-all whites.
The religious exercises preceding organ
ization were very impressive, with addresses
from Rev. Drs. Taylor, John A. Broadus,
and 7. G.. Jones.
DR.. Burrows was elected president; W.
F. Broadus, G. Tyree, Thomas j. Evans,
and W. R. Vaughan, vice-presidents; A.
Il. Abel, secretary. Corresponding dele
gates were present from South Carolina,
District of Columbia, Maryland, and West
Virginia: among them Doctors Broadus,
Manly, Furman, Venable, Ames, and Ken
dali.
The report of the Foreign Mission Board
was read by DR.. William F. Broadus. lts
discussion occupied the whole afternoon
session. Addresses were delivered by
Rev. Drs. Taylor, Poindexter, Manly
Broadus, and Rev. Messrs. J. A. Cham
bliss and Hardwick. In the course of the
discussion, DIR. Taylor said the southern
Baptist missions in China were more sue
cessful in proportion to the means en-
| ployed than any other organization having
missionaries in that country. The speakers
urged the sending out of more men to China
at once.
A report and resolution looking togreatel
efforts fon foreign missions were unani-
mously adopted.
The annual sermon was delivered tonight
by Rev. John c. Long, Of Albemarle.

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.-More than six
weeks ago Mr.. David Hancock, of this
county, was in Charlottesville, and received
from the bank here some eight hundred dol
lars. He was stopping at the Central Hotel,
and about 10 o'clock P. NJ, left some par
ties with whom he was conversing las he
stately to go to bed. After this, he went
across the street to the bar-room near the
railroad depot, kept by John Edmonds.
He has not been seen since. A member
of wealthy and influential family, all
efforts to discover him have been in vain.
There can be little doubt that he has
been foully dealt with. But it is marvel
lous that great crime like this could have
been committed in community like ours,
and that nothing at all should have been
developed to throw some light on the mys,
terry which envelops it. : Charlottesville

The PNEUMATIC DIsPATCH.-The Co
vernon has approved the act to facilitate
the transmission Of letters, merchandise,
&c., by means Of the pneumatic dispatch,
and our citizens now have the promise of
soon enjoying the most improved and rapid
means of INSTRUMENTATION.
The act authorizes the laying of pneu-
matte tubes under the streets of New York
and Brooklyn, and also under the waters of
the North and East rivers. The present
enterprise contemplates the connection of
the Brooklyn, Jersey City, and all our sub
post-ofices with the general post-ofhce, and
also the erection of pneumatic letter-boxes
in place of the present lamp-post boxes, SO
that letters and parcels will be collected
and delivered by air-pressure, acting on
cars, which will pass along at the rate Of
thirty miles an hour. The mails will go
back and forth between the New York,
Brooklyn, and Jersey City post-offces in
from three to five minutes, Letters de-
posted in any of the street letter-boxes on
the pneumatic line below Forty-second
street will be carried to the general post
Office, or to any intermediate city station,
in from three to Six minutes. It's the In
,tention to put a short line into operation
within the next ninety days.-Neao Hork

Mr.. DOUGLAS AND Mrs. L1NcoLN.-To
the Editor Of the Tribune :-Sir,-1 observe
in the New York papers Of recent date, in
referring to publication called I" Behind
the Curtain" purporting to give incidents
in the private life of the late President
Lincoln, prominence is given to q state
ment in said book that the late Stephen A.
Douglas was rival for the hand Of Mrs.
Lincoln, and was rejected, &c. AS the in
innate personal and political friend of
Judge Douglas for many years, familiar
with him from his settlement in Illinois
until his death, permit me to say that the
story is, like many others in said book, q
sheer fabrication, as Judge Douglas had not
the honor of Mrs. Lincoln's acquaintance
until some time after her marriage. 1t is
within the personal knowledge of the
writer of this that good many of the SEN
sational incidents of the book are purely
fictions of the brain, inserted, no doubt, to
make it sell, but having no foundation
whatever in fact, as is we'll known in this
city. In so far as one Of its statements
seeks to crafty public pruriency at the ex-
pense of the dead, desire to vindicate his
memory by exposing its falsity.
