DISASTROUS FIRE fiC6sdi1r.su.-The alarm
OF me about one O'Clock this morning prooead-
ca from the buresng OF three fish homes stu
afd on the rIveT side, a. the foo: OF 18Th street
TWO OF which were owned by Messrs. John
'ribson and William knigh', and the other by

bntiNely engaged An the fishing business than
any o; hers in the District The fire, which was
the work of an incendiary, orig mated In one ,f

with their contents.
In Messrs. Gib-on 4 Knights warehouses
were slowed away new outfits for five fisher 3
over which they have control viz: High Point
Sandy Point, stony Point, White House and
Jackson City, consisting in part of one seine oh
1.eOO fathoms, one OF 100 fathoms, one OF IL D
fatboLis, one of 2,5 fdthoms, and one of -,
lannon's, with dep;h OF 90 feet, and six or
eight barrels of salt behring's. These outfit
were nearly new. and cannot be replaced for
less than eioocl, and not in time tor the spring
fishing at any price.
Mr.. Conrad Faunce viii sustain loss of be-
tween eight and ten thousand dollars in build
Ings, outfit OF seines, &c, for his fishing shore
known as Moxleys Point
Besides the losses OF the above named gentle
men, Mr.. William f.. Stewart suffered t. a
shght extent from the partial burning Of ~
hSh honse adjoining on the east. All the out
ms, however, were removed without injury.
WINE the loss sustained by this fire will not
probably exceed the amount specified above
VT that is nothing when compared with the
inconvenience which will be experienced by
the community in not being able 10 procure n
plentiful supply of fresh fish throughout the
approaching season. The sufferers have gone
u work TO obtain material for new seines, but
even should they be successful, IT is not be-
heyed that they can be manufactured before
the season is over.
The person who committed the iucendiary
act first forced open the front door. and ascend
ing to the second story, applied the torch u a
large pile OF fresh tarred rope and netting The
parties whose property has thus been so sud-
denly and totally destroyed regarded as
men of integrity and worth, and the motive
which prompted the dastardly act Is involved
In mystery.
Mr.. Gibson is at this time, and has been for
several months, absent from the city
The fremeL were promptly on the ground
but too late to stay the rapid progress of the
flames. BY their exertions, however, Mr.
Stewards building was saved.

DESERVING THE SINKING SH1P.-We do not pretend
to give space to the muttudnous evidences of cbange
OF heart" among the more respectfully prominent Rad
icas OF the day, for not, and therefore content
ourselves with an occasional specimen brick of the
thousands voluntarily added to the Democratic pile:
Alfred H. Pownall, of West Virginia, having been
appointed member of the State Central c ,mmittee
declines the honor, and informs his former friends that
he intends to support Seymour and Blair.
DR. Morgan, influential citizen of Evansville Ind ,
has abandoned the Radicals and goes in strong for
Seymour and Blair.
Hon. Charles Rogers, of Sandy Hill, lifelong oppo
nent OF Democracy and formerly member Of the State
Legislature and also Representative in Congress- and
ore OF the most efficient speakers in the State can not
stand on the Radical platform, but comes out boldly
for the Democratic nominees.
The Greensburg Cndiana) Expositor, heretofore
Radical sheet has declared fer Seymour and Blair and
the editor adds that the Republicans of the State are
abandoning that party by thousands.
The Palkersburg West Virgina) North American
formerly Radical, comes out for the Democratic nom
nees
The Quincy (Illinois) Herald says that in that city
not less than fifty Republican: nave come out for Se,-
and Blair in the past month.
Col W. B. Thomas of Philadelphia Collector of the
Port under President Lincoln, has renowned Radical
ism, and supports Seymour and Blair
Hon. d. s. Goodng, of Indiana, Lincoln eectnr in
1864, is the stump for Seymour and Blair.
c. D. Robertson, formerly Radical orator, is now
stumping for Seymour and Blair in Indiana.
Hon Richard Gregg, a lifelong opponent of the
Democracy, made speech in Aurora, ILL.,, few days
since, for the Democratic nominees.
Hon. F. T. Backus, of Cleveland, Ohio, formerly
Radical orator. is speaking effectively for Seymour
and Blair
Fortythree persons of Bellefotaine, Ohio, formerly
Republicans have publicly given in their adhesion to
Seymour and Blair.
Judge Mellen, of Pttsburs, Pa, has seen the error
of bis ways, and renounced Republication, and sup
ports Seymour and Blair.
Col. Lyman L. Jackson, heretofore an uncompro-
missing Republican, oPerry county, Ohio, has declared
for Seymour and Blair
We might add TO this list until our columns were
full, aut let this suffice for one week. As faithful
chronclers of passing events feel bound notice
all the assertions from the Democratic party which
have come to our knowledge.
Edgar Hull Esq, who last fall made such famous
Copperhead speech in this village, in which he sent
Gen. Grsnt and the whole Republican party a very
warm place, has come out full iedged Republican,
and we Informed is applicant for the office of
District Attorney in Washington county.
Hon. W. B. Jones, elector On the Radical ticket in
Alabama, comes out for Seymour and Blair. So does
Judge Piatt, of Kentucky, late Republican.
