DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN CHERAw.-We are in
receipt of two letters, giving accounts of terrific
conHagration in Cheraw on Saturday morning, the
9th. About two A. NJ. the watchman discovered
fire on the outside rear end of H. NJ Tomlinson' s
store on Front-street, which soon was beyond con-
troll. The flames communicated with the adjoin-
ing store, North of Kendall & Dockery, and South
to the store occupied by Alexon & Stubbs. The
house adjoining, occupied BY E: villenegye sW as
Reid & Sons, above that of Kendall & Dockery's
was also burned. Tomlinson's stock was general
and full. The others mostly had provisions. But
very little was saved. The fire was still burning
at the time our correspondents wrote, but was not
expected to extend beyond the buildings named
above. The fire is supposed to be the work Of an
incendiary. .-Charleston Mercauy.

In the Old SCHOOL, the debate still con-
tinues on the subject of reunion. DR.. JNo.
EAGLEsoN submitted an amendment to the
basis of union, which provides that there
shall be dropped from the third article the
following clauses: ut being understood
that the Confession is read in its proper
historical basis, the Calvinistic or reformed
sense. It is also understood that the vari-
GUS methods of viewing, stating and illus
trating the doctrines of the Confession
which do not impair the integrity of the
reform ed or Calvinistic system are to be
allowed in the united church. as they have
been heretofore allowed in the separate
churches" He further stated that if the
amendment should be accepted by the Old
School assembly, he would offer resolu-
ton providing for its submission, through
the telegraph, to the New School branch,
and if rejected, then providing for the con-
tinuance of the joint committee. 5

The Mutual Feeling.

1t appears, from all we can learn, that
Chief Justice CHASE has no especial admi-
ration of General GRANT as the Republican
candidate for President, and that General
GRANT does not cherish for the Chief JUS
tice the most affectionate regard. The
General thinks that if he is defeated (and
he is not so certain that he will not be) the
Chief Justice will have been the cause OF
it. 1t is intimated that the General proposes,
in his letter OF acceptance, to repudiate
the doctrines of the Radicals. OF this we
do not believe one word. He dare not do
it. To them he is indebted for his nomin-
alton, and if elected, it will be to them that
he will be indebted, and in their hands he
will be as plant as they desire him to be-
Under the direction of WAsHBURNE, we
have no doubt, the General will write let
ter. in tone and temper, conciliatory TO the
seven Republican Senators who voted for
the acquittal of the President. To this
extent, aud only to this extent, is he likely
to repudiate any action or folly of the Rad
icals. And such reputation, for the sake
of success, the Radicals will not grum-
ble at.

Among other things, the Republican
party can boast having large assortment
of Consu Fools. Some of these fell
lows, living at Montgomery, Pennsylvania,
sent to Congress petition, praying that
body to call in all the one dollar and twen-
ty-five cent notes upon which are placed
the likenesses of CHASE and FEssENDEN,
respectively, because their likenesses are
now repulsive to the "loyar' people. Their
crime is that they tried the President ac-
cording to the law and the testimony, in
stead of carrying out the caucus decree.

FoRNEY's Press complains that JOHN E.

is Massachusetts, man by birth; that he
went to Georgia as an adventurer and took
to itiuerant politics, proclaiming himself a
Radical of exaggerated politics. After
awhile he came North and obtained several
publican paper in Savannah. Such pa
per he published for time; but finding
that it did not not pay he turned Conserv-
ative.
This is the Press charge. If true, it does
not justify the Press in so perverting his
dispatch as to tell deliberate lie touching
the feeling with which the Presidents ac-
quittal was received in Savannah. ..

The marriage was required to be between

Let Have an Instance.

Will the Supreme Court of Ohio, or any
OF the apologists for its decision, that a
''male citizen having avisible admixture of
African blood, but in whom the White
blood preponderates," has been held to be
a "White citizen of the United States" by
the Supreme Court of the United States, or
by the Congress of the United States. Just
let us have one instance, if you please,
Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1868-06-02

The Czeueland Herald says that Negro
Suffrage is not made an issue by the de-
cision of the Supreme Court, that persons
having visible admiXture OF African
blood, with preponderence of White
blood, are voters. Why not? Is notJudge
WHITE, one of the Judges who pronounced
this scandalous opinion, candidate for re-
election? The sense of the people will be
taken upon the righteousness of that de-
cision. Those who think it right will vote
for him those who think it wrong will
vote against him.

which has been in session at Newark. ad-
in his charge to the clergy of the diocese
enforced the doctrine of obedience to the
canon law as embodying the will of God,
and censured the increasing tendency to
argue about the abstract merits of the law
instead of promptly submitting to it. Res
olutions were offered against innovations
in church worship, and especially denoun-
cling modern ritualism. An animated de-
bate ensued, and the resolutions were re-
iected by a vote of 16 yeas to 80 nays of the
clergy, and 81 yeas to % nays of the laity.
