AT halipast nine last evening ire was discovered
ON the second door Of the Derby Athensum No. $50
Broadway, by Mr.. Derby, Jr., who gave the alarm.
The Fire Department responded promptly, and.
turning on the water, cxtIngushed it. The room
where II broke out was used az an ART gallery for
paintings that required retouchng, and contained
several valuable productions OF the best artists
including Rothermel's fine unfinished picture Of
"Lincoln's Last Reception The nre was confined
70 tne room IN which y originated but the paintings
M Were entrey DESTROYED. The loss, Mr.. Derby est-
mates, Will reach $4,000. Rothermes ucture alone
is valued at $4,000 or $4,000 II wsS Impossible

The stock on the lower noof was slightly
damaged by water, and the loss would have
been much larger had not the Insurance patrol
arrived promptly with their olcloths. MI. berby

$4,000 on his lease and improvements in varions

We have In the above political almanacs three
publications. by three publishers, widely differing In
ideas. The Tribune Almanac is an old ana reliable
compilation, and has always been popular source
tation but there are few errors which should be
noticed Among the list Of members elect to the
Forty-frst Congress we find the name Of Charles
N. Hamilton for Florida. Now that individual is o
member Of the present Congress. The election for
representative to the next House was ordered the
26th Of December but we have no report Of Its
having taken place. Probably 1t was postponed on
account OF the war between the Governor and
Lieutenant Governor. Again, in giving the vote for
congressman in Missouri 1t should have been
honestly stated that General Shields, In the Sixth,
and Mr.. Switzler, In the Ninth, were both fairly
elected, but that by most arbitrary exercise Of
power the votes OF Jackson and Platte counties in
the one and the vote Of Homer county In the other
thrown out for the especial purpose Of defeat
ing the democratic candidates This was done In
Louisiana, and is so stated IN the almanac. There
other errors OF minor nature In the politi-
cal statistical department, but, whole, 1t ID ex
cellent The astronomical department is good, as
usual.
The Democratic Almanac IL not SO comprehen-
sively gotten up as Its radical contemporary, and
has some faults. II gives Grant total OF thrtytwo
more votes In this State than he s ocaly credited
with We would suggest that as yet there has been
no election for members to the forty-frst Congress
either in Florida or Georgia.
The World Almanac. like the the others before re-
ferred to- contains full astronomical calculations and
political statistics. The total vote In louisiana IN
Guiding the parishes thrown out Is incorrectly glven
being 10000, according TO the 0icial reports. The
type and pressw0rk OF this almanac are exceedingly
poor and cannot be compared at all with either OF
the other two noticed.

The views of an honest republican.

The Democracy of Brown county
recently held a large meeting to ratify
the; nomination of Hon. George H.
Pendleton for Governor. Among the
numerous speakers on the oocasionwas
James P. Kimball, heretofore acting
with the Republicans, of whose speech
the Brown County Ne,cs thus speaks !:
f"James p. Kimball being called on,
arose and stated that he had always
acted with the Republican party, but
seeing that that parity were pursuing
Il policy which he considered disas-
trous to thelcountry. and exceedingly
oppressive to- the poor people, he
could no longer support or act with
them. He said he was a poor man,
and he felt it his duty to- support the
friends of the poor men for Office
| He knew Mr.. .Pendletonnwas friend
of the laboring taxGpaying people and
opposed to the Bondocracy. He cared
not what men might say of him, he
felt it his duty and was going to vote
heavens fall. He was heartily cheered
during his remarks. All felt that Mr..
/ Kimball- only expressed the honest
! convictions of his heart, and had the
manliness to avow his determination
to act as all honest man i'll the present
campaign, and oppose corruption and
bondocracy and class legislation and
aristOcracy. now so universally prac-
/ ticed and avowed by the bondholding

The Virginia Outrage.

Overwhelmingly beaten at the late
State election in Virginia, under laws
and under an Organization. of which
they were the authors and had the
control, the Radicals are seeking to
find means by which they may treat it
us nullity, or rather count it in their
favor. The military satrap in COM
mand in Virginia, General Candy, has
beenmade a tool of to thatend. His
intended course provokes remon-
STRANGE from Mr.. Greeley of the New
York Tribune. That journal says:
Virginia seems quietly awaiting
General Canby's official declaration of
the result of her late struggle: If
there are complaints that any have
been prescribed orrejected from their
tenemenis, or turned off by their en-
ployers for voting as they chose last
month, we do not hear them. But we
do hear that General Candy persists
in exacting the iron-clad oath of every
member of the new Legislature, and
deeply regret it, We see no end to be
achieved by it but that of converting
the triumphant Walker party into an
anti-administration party, and embit-
tering the political feuds of Virginia
for years to come. If the end be to
deprive the majority of two q. S.
Senators and enable the minority to
elect them, the wrong. will be the
greater, and the blunder more fatal
We must cherish the hope that Gen
eral Candy will yet be induced to ac-
cept the situation as fully, if not so
heartily, as the late rebels appear to
have done.' ..... .s-

The Letter of General Rosecrans.

Declining the nomination for Gov
ernor rendered him by the Democracy
of Ohio, will be found on the first
page of our paper to-day. We have
no disposition to commend on it. It
speaks for itself and will doubtless be
read by every citizen. The Radicals
affect to be greatly rejoiced over it,
but it is merely atfectation. A care

forth in the platform Of the Democra-
cy. But, it matters very little whether
it be so or not. The justice of the
Democratic principles and measures
does not depend upon the approval
of any one man, however exalted his

Coming to their Senses.

General Palmer, present Governor
of Illinois, lately made speech at a
Republican County Convention in
Springfield, Illinois, in which he re-
pudiated the Fifteenth Amendment,
for the reason that he was unwilling
to surrender the States control Of
suffrage to Federal authority. This is
democratic doctrine, and honest Re-
publicans, with General Palmer avow
the same sentiment. The principle
involved in the Fifteenth Amendment
not only leads to consolidation, but
wars upon rights guaranteed to the
respective States, the fundamental or
ganization of the Government. The
leaders of the Republican party, are
making desperate effort, by the aid
of negro votes, to retain power; but
we trust in the second sober thought
ofthe people to save us from the an
archy and misrule certain to follow
this suicidal course.

Miami County Republicans "Repudiat

The Republican Convention of Mi
ami county, which met at Troy on the
3Ist ult., passed the following aresolu-
tons, repudiating the. claims of the
bondholders to be paid in gold for
debts contracted to be paid in green
backs: ..s....... f,..1.5.:I. .e,...-... -sr J.
Resolced, That the law passed by
Congress, known, as the law :" to
strengthen the public credit" and
which commits the general, govern
ment to the policy of redeeming all
government bonds in gold and silver,
in our opinion, is. atnaotse legislation,
and opposed to the best interests Of the
people. "
Eesolred, That we, the Republicans
of Miami county, in convention as
sembled, do declare that We ARE IN
FAVOR OF ITS SPEEDY REPEAL. '-f'.'2 -
AT the time these resolutions were
adopted, the Piqua Journal Repub1i-
can) thus endorsed them: = - '7''.i ,i'
''The resolutions have the ring of
the true metal, and will be Endorsed
by a good fashioned majority in
this county of at least one thousand
votes"
The Miami Union, published in the
same county. more in the bondhold-
er's interest than the .Piqua y oaTnal,
thus denounced them: - ~.
{" REPUiDf1AT1oN.4-AA A singulrr resolu-
ton, endorsing, substantially, the
Pendletonian policy of the copper
head party, which some one tried to
get through the late Republican State
Convention, but failed, was put into
the resolutions at the Convention last
Saturday, and adopted just on the eve
of adjournment, when three fourths
of the people had left the hall. The
thing had a queer look iii the proceed
ings of a Republican Convention, and
if we are not mistaken, will return to
plague the inventors" y,
It appears from the last extract that
only about one-fourth of this Reptb-
lican convention was left to vote on
the resolution. That was enough for
all practical purposes, :, It shows that
there; is a respectable portion Of the
party resolved not to Dear the bond
holders yoke any longer. They are
in sympathy with the .s Pend letonian
policy" Of equal and exact justice to
all men, and failing to get their party
free from the bondholder's grasp, they
will be found voting flor Pendleton
and with the Democracy as the only
straight road Que of the wilderness.
