felt the next morning that he must have retraction

FRRs.-The of fire at 2 o clock Thursday af-
ternoon originated from the corner of High
and York streets. A small house in that vi
cinity took fire from defect in the chimney,
but the flames were extinguished with few
buckets of water.
The alarm at 2 o'clock Friday morning was
caused by the burning of quantity of straw
in the chamber of Joseph Kilgore's livery sta
BILE on Federal street. The damages were tri-
fling; but the origin of the fire is a mystery.
The alarm at half-past 4 o'clock Friday after
noon was created by fire breaking out in =
shed at the foot of Brattle street, occupied as
stable by Edward Leonard. The shed was
promptly pulled down, but the fire had spread
to the house adjoining, owned by John Her
bert and occupied by four families The ell of
the house was destroyed and the roof and other
portions badly injured. Insured for $780,
enough to cover all loss. The fremen worked
with diligence, and prevented the flames from
spreading to other buildings.

THE Northern Lights-aurora 6orealis is a
piece of impertinence-made an unusually
brilliant display Thursday night, some of the
combinations and scene-shifting being very
intricate and curious. 1t was supposed at the
time that the affair was strictly local, and had
something to do with the Grand Army Fair,
but yesterdays advices were to the effect that
the auroral display was observed all along the
Atlantic coast. The telegraph wires were SO
sensibly affected that they were worked be-
tween New York and Boston without the use
of a battery, and the ready made electric fluid
was sent from Philadelphia to the Western
part of the State in the same way.

sisted in the construction. On next Tuesday
evening there will be another performance.

FAsT-DAY.-Fast-Day partook more of the
character of a holiday this year than is usual
owing to the holding of the Fair at City Hall
the extra trains running on the different rail-
roads, which brought many trangers into
the city who thronged our Streets both after
noon and evening, and filed the different
places of amusement to overfowing-a the
military parade of our two fine militia compa-
MES and the Grand Army Post No q The
weather was suspicious as far as bright sun
light and cloudless skies are concerned but the
dust was something fearful If rain does not
come soon the watering carts should 60 to

at the First Baptist Church, Free Street Bap-

Chapel, and Y. M G. A. Rooms. The Leo

THE PRESS.
Saturday Morning, April II, 1869.
The condition of Texas.

Hon. G. 7. Ruby of Texas, formerly a resi-
dent of this city and now one of the most
prominent colored men in the country, arrived
in Portland, Thursday. He came to Washing
ton in company with several other gentlemen
who were commissioned by the Texas Con-
stitutional Convention, body of which they
were members, to lay before the President and
Congress their views as to the proper policy to
be pursued toward their State. Mr.. Ruby, at
the request of many citizens, will deliver a
lecture at the Newbury street church, ON Mon
day evening next, at half-past seven o'clock,
on the Convention, Political Wants and Ne
eessities of the loyal people of Texas.
We learn from Mr.. Ruby that the loyal men
will vote against the new constitution, framed
by the late convention, and soon to be SUD-
mitted to the people by order OF Gen. Grant
They object to it on account OF theiranchise
clause, which was introduced by the trickery
of A. j. Hamilton, who has sold himself to
the enemy This franchise clause provides
that no one shall be disfranchised under the
constitution except thbse who are denied the
right to vote by the constitution of Vhe United
States. As the constitution of the United
States DISTINGUISHES no one it will be seen that
reconstructed Texas would be under the new
constitution as thoroughly rebel as it ever was.
The loyalists, black and white, diselaim any
fesling of vindictiveness toward the Rebels,
but if military government is to be Withdrawn
they desire that they may be left with some
power to protect themselves. At present the
Rebels outside of Galveston and q few other
places shoot and bowie-knife an average OF
two Union men a day. Gen. eynolds, the
military cemmandant, is represented to be a
well-meaning man, theore tically Radical,
whose yielding nature units him for his posi-
ton and renders him incapable OF affording
Union men adequate protection and properly
Furnishing their murderers. He owes his po-
sition to the personal regard for him cherished
by the President. The committee of which
Mr. Ruby is member found Gen. Rawlins
Secretary of War, aware of Reynolds inca
pacity, but unable to effect a change
1t is represented that Hamilton's detection
will not prove very serious blow to the Union
men of Texas. He will be the Rebel candi-
date for Governor, and already every Rebel
paper in the State has put his name at the
head of its columns He separated himself
from his late associates ON the question of in
validating the statutes enacted by Rebel au-
thority during the war. Under these laws
many railroad and other corporations became
possessed of vast interests in the public lands
and if the legislation were to be declared by
the new constitution void ab initio, the losses
of the Rebel corporations would be very great
Accordingly it became clearly for their inter
est to buy prominent Radicals and they
Lought Mr.. Hamilton.

Mr.. SUMMERS GREAT SPEEcH-The alb
stract of Mr. Summers speech on the treaty
negotiated with the British government by
Mr.. johnson for the settlement of the. Ala
bama claims, gives an accurate idea of his ar
gument, emitting his citations Of the text OF
the document and of the admissions Of prom
inent Englishmen as to the validity and ex-
tent of the English indebtedness to Ameri.
Ca 1t will be seen that though the tone Of
the Senator'S remarks is remarkably temper.
ate and his language guarded there is some
thing of the Train ''pay or fight spirit in it.
The unanimity with which Senators of all
parties supported Mr.. Summers views togeth-
or with the extraordinary vigor and clearness
of the Senator'S statements will undoubtedly
disabuss the ERglish mind of the impression
that the wine and fatteryA offered to Mr.. Rev
erdy johnson will be received in satisfaction
of the gigantic wrong done to our nations hon
or and our material prosperity. The claim of
the immense sum of $11O,OO0,0O0, subject to
no Abatement is very different thing from
the claim of $13,OO0,OOO or $40 900 900 to be re-
duced by the filing of all sorts of English
claims in Offset, the Rebel cotton loan among
the rest

DEATH OF Col. RoGERs.-The public will
learn with extreme regret of the death of Col.
Charles .. Rogers, proprietor of the Boston
Journal, Thursday evening, at his residence
in Boston. His trip to California did not have
the anticipated favorable effect upon his health
and he was obliged to return almost immedi-
ately. He was in his fifty-frst year at the time
of his death.
