SAD OCCURRENCE! A HOUSE WITH
TWO LITTLE CHILDREN CONSUMED BY
FIRE!-WP receive with pain the news
contained in the following:
RIDDLEsBURG, Pa, Feb ), 'G8.
MEssRs EDITORS Our usually qui-
ct neighbOrhood was thrown into
quite an excitement yesterday. A man
by the name of John Evans, with hi~
family, consisting of wife and two
small children (the oldest little over
2 years old residing across the river
from this place, met with terrible ca
lamity yesterday, at about II O'Clock.
The youngest child had been sick all
. the previous night, and yesterday
morning, after Mr.. Evans had left the
house to go to his work and his wife
had done up her mornings homework
the latter left the youngest child III
the cradle and the oldest to rock it un-
til she would run 10 q neighGCr's, a
short distance, i'm sight of her own
house, to get something for her sick
child. She says she was not gone over
ten or fifteen minutes, when on retrac-
ing her steps hOm eward, she discover
ed the house OH fire. She raised the
alarm and the woman to whose house
she had gone, ran along with her, but
before they reached The house the up
per portion had com mmenced falling in,
and, it is thought some of the timber
had fallen against the door, for, in try
ing to open it, they found it fast. Thi,
mother had succeeded in opening the
door, she too, in all probability, would
have perished with her dear children.
1t was with great difficulty, that the
neighbOr woman could prevent the
mother from rushing into the flames
after the house was almost entirely
consumed. This is another sad warn
ing 10 mothers not to leave smali
children without some one to take care
of them. These unfortunate people
lost all their little property, only leav-
ing them what they had on their
backs. Mrs. Evans was badly burned
in her efforts to get into the house. IL.

that assurance in the laws which a portion of
the party pretend to give them in an election
eering squabble. 1t is scandslous that this
business has been so mismanaged as to ooca-
sion such controversy, by which the ma
tional reputation suffers and the public oredi-
tors are kept in a state of uncertainty.
What can the public creditors expect of
the party that passed that statute of repudia-
tion, the legal-tender act In consequence
of it, the debtor part of the nation has been
debauched by the legslzed reputation OF a
great part of their debts, The act has cor
rupted the State Governments as we'll as the
people, the interest on the State dabts cor
tracted previous to the war being paid in what
is called lawful money. What Republican
will tell us why the honor Of our citizens and
the honor of our States ought not to be held as
sacred as the honor of the Federal Govern
ment We do not here refer to private aud
State debts which were contracted after the
lega-tender act was passed, but before it was
passed. There is no reputation in paying in
greenbaclls debts incurred after the passage
OF the law, unless there was special stipula.
tion to pay them in coin. Now, the legal
tender act was so worded as TO include
Federal debts as well as private debts aud
State debts, and hence it was important that
all subsequent laws authorizing loans should
explicitly state that they were payable in coin,
if payment in coin was intended. But
the fact is indisputable that there is
nothing in the loan laws which exempts the
fve-twenty bonds from the sweeping language
of the legal-tender law. The claim of the
bondholders is subject TO this great drawback
and impediment, for which they must thank
the Republican party. 1t is what that party
put into the laws, not what the Democratic
party has put into its platform, which iuvali-
dates their claim to payment in coin. If they
have been deceived. their resentment should
fall upon the Republican authors OF their dis
appointment-ad disappointment, in which they
will receive little popular sympathy because
they will suffer no real loss. They will receive
back as much for their bonds as they have paid
for them, with enormous interest for their
money while it was out of their hands.

From TIE ". Y. Commercial AdveTtiSeT
The Citizen is very severe upon the eX-
Rebels who are called upon to speak in behalf
OF Seymour and Blair, and who utter such
glitteriug phrases as the 'lost cause" is to bs
revived. "SecessiOn is not dead" The Citizen
takes for its text the words, "ThOugh you
bray fool in e. mortar, his folly will not de-
part from him." and then says that though
these men have been brayed in luOTtars and
by riied ordnance, they still come back as
''nesh in their folly as ever" II then sharply
disapproves Of Rebel Generals and Rebel plot
ters against the Mon, who are to come North
to take the stump against GIaut and COltaX,
and adds, "Sa77 us from this assistance, or we
aIe lOst'
BY all means let these gentry come. We
heard, during the Convention, the Old familiar
crack OF the plantation whip, aud we would
not deprive Vance, and Wade Hampton, and
Buckner and Forrest OF the unctuous gratii-
cation they take in insulting and defying North
EN- sentiment, and in yentiating their reac-
tiOnary views IN the streets OF New York.
Perhaps TOOmb5 will come to call his vas
sal roll at Bunker Hill, and to abuse his
Democratic friends for letting the South slide
into Rebellion, and then looking codly on
while the fire was taken out of the South
ern heart. Perhaps Wise and some young
man named Rhetg will also come to do
us good, and to show the knavery of a
people who would not let the South alone
in war, aud who will not yield TO all its de-
mands in peace. To be sure, such men as
these would only harm the cause they up,
hold, but they would set so clearly before the
! North the enormity of the principles which
seek recognition in the triumph of Seymour,
that the Democratic party would be over
whelmed with even greater disaster than now
awaits it from natural causes. As the CUise,
well saya;-"Every Rebel speech made at the
North-and Rebels seem unable to make any
but Rebel speeches-will cost Us a hundred
votes for every one it gains"

1h.orn The N. Y. Thfbnne.

From the n. T. Tribune.
The letter of Gov nor Yates of Illinois,
pointedly coutal ting the assertion that the
colopelcy of a r,,.inept of volunteers which he
(Yates) conferred yl the Galena tanner was
ever sought by the latter, invites attention to
q phase of General Grants character which is
quite unlike that Of some other officers Of our
late war.
From the beginning to the end Of that
struggle, Ulysses s. Grant rose through every
grade known to our service. A poor, OBJ
scure, friendless private citizen, he vOlun-
teered at the outset, and was chosen captain Of
q company. He was soon made Adiutaut;
then Colonel; then Brgadier-General; then
Major General; then Lieutenant General finally
General-n- Chief. Yet nobody ever heard him
asking for better post. In every case OF his
promotion, he took the position wherein he
was wanted-no one ever heard Of his wanting
q better one than he already had. "Freud,
come up higher was the mandate addressed
TO this lowly servant of the Republic-not
that he wanted promotion. but that the cOuu-
try sorely needed the right man in the right
place.
Again; we had officers perpetuauy quarrel
ing, grumblpg fretting, in view of their treat
ment By their superiOrs. They were not pro-
NOTED so fast as they deserved to bs--Or they
had fewer men than they needed-Or they
We're not put in command Of divisions or corps
that should have been cOnGded to them. One
General assumed to lecture the President on
the civil or political policy that should govern
the conduct OF the war; on another occasion,
he complained to Washington that part of his
men "brolie disoreditably, Gen, Bragg, when
utterly routed by Grant at Mission Ridge, COM
planned that his menrau and left their cannon
to be captured, when they should have fought
and saved them. Several professed q willing
ness to fight il the war were conducted in ac-
cordance with their notions; if not, they
wouldn't. Grant, on the other hand, never
complained Of i'll usage by the Government or
bad behavior on the part of his men-always
Seems to be satisfied with both; and, if ever
dissatisfied, is silent. He favored no "policy"
but the crushing out Of the Rebellion. lie had
$40 conception OF duty that led him to regard
Ehe Federal Executive with distrust or dis
favor. In short, Grant quietly received his
orders, and, to the extent Of his ability, exc
cuted them. 1t will be the fault OF the people
if this species OF generalship is not more com
mon hereafter,

The eagerness of Senators and Representa-

dogdays in Washington. The eXtgencies Of
the campaign iurniah another solution against
which ordinary protests would be uuavaliug.
And yet there are considerations which
should outweigh all else in the Judgment Of
those who recognize the Obligations Of

which may possibly overtake Union inte-
rests in the South, in consequence of the
withdrawal of the military from the recon
structed States pending contest in which
the Rebel element may hope to receive ths
help Of the national Executive. With the
reorganization of civil government, the au-
