instant, together with other items:
About II o'clock on the night of the
18th instant, tho citizens Of our usually
quiet town were suddenly aroused from
their sweet slumbcrs by an alarm Of Gre,
IL was discovered that the stnbling be,
longing to the Washington House, Jno.
O. Price, Esq, proprietor, had caught
On fire, When first seen the Ere had
already made rapid Roadway, aud in a
comparatively short time the whole
building was enyeloped 10 flames.
| Mr.. Price, at the first alarm, ran
quickly to the stable, to save, it posi-.
bic, the horses, bnggies, &C., which we're
in the stable. lie was assisted by Dr.
III, L. Beltz and others, who had by this
time arrived, Although the stable was
filed with smoke, the horses were all
removed, not, however, until one be-
longing to Mr., H. X. Wright had been
badly burned. Several sets Of harness
and one buggy could not be removed.
In the meantime, despite tho efforts
of the crowd present, the flames caught
in the barn Of George Shower, Esq.
Seeing that it was impossible TO save
the stables or extinguish the flames, all
vigorously applied themselves to pre-.
serve tho dwellings, which were only
about thirty feet from the burning
buildings. Some fearless meu assembled
to the house tops, and as fast as water
could be passed to them, i, was dashed
upon the fire now threatening the
houses. Men, women aud children,
labored with a zeal that told that their
own safety depended upon their greatest
efforts. For time the flames seemed
TO defy all opposition aud at one time it,
was thought almost impossible to save
the hotel, which is frame house, but f.
nally perseverance and labor oyercame
the iendish element of destruction and
for want Of fuel to feed its ire, its wrath
was quenched and the greatest danger
over. 1t only required attention to
prevent any further damage.

THAT convention starts with the assumption

individually referred for arbitration in case OF

disallowsd, simply because one arbter intro
duced the consideration into his mind of

and another did not. In short-not to null
tiply examples of this sort-it is clear that the
convention did not express the substantial
public understanding which we of America
presume that the two countries have come to.

decision of convention. But majority OF

dissatisfied that this understanding was not
made the fixed basis Of agreement, in black
and white. If this be not the understanding,
and the promissory words of the London
Times and other organs Of popular opinion be
only ehaff, Great Britain has herself to thank
for her conduct and for the disaster that has
befsllen the negotiations.
On the other hand, the pretense of shallow,
sensational writers, that the United States
are bent on 'the humiliation of England" is
entirely without foundation. We are deter
mined to "respect the rights of all nations,
demanding equal respect for our own." We
suppose it to be useless to proceed further in
the negotiations until the British Govern
ment makes formal concession of the validity
of the so called Alabama claims. If that
concession be Humiliation" there is some
meaning in this latter cry; but that can
hardly be Humiliation in a Government
which appears to be voluntarily yielded by its
people.

they have them in plenty like the rest OF us,
for without vices we couldn't have virtues,

this hard -fsted, hard worked band Of exiles.
We won't even blame them too much for
being Democrats to a man. for as they under

were not, and no credit to them either When
they find out, as they will in time, that the
Democracy they swear by here is the same in
principle with the arstocracy that made their
life at home q curse, and drove them out OF
their native land to escape starvation, they
will come over to the true Democracy that,
with Grant as leader, has saved the republic
the sham Democracy under Lee and Seymour
tried to destroy, and they will come to stay.
For ourselves, we do most sincerely believe
tha in time, the emigration to this country
OF Irish in numbers sufficient to influence, as
they nave done, our manners, our customs,
and our politics, will prove of great national
service. Their exile from Ireland has already y
begun to repay the cruel masters OF that
beautiful island with steiility for her ancient
fruitfulness, with famine for her ancient
abundance, and with enmity where, il there
never was, at least there might have been,
the wsrmest friendship. At present we in
America see the Irish race suffering under all
the faults and drawbacks that have resulted
from the blighting rule of English injustice,
bigotry, and greed. But the day will surely
come when, under the benign influence OF
institutions really free, with ample means Of
education, and the right to life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness secured to them not
merely by the technical law but by the spirit
| of the country as well, they will ripen into q
| generous growth and show all the virtue that
| is in them, and renew under other but not
alien skies the glories oftheir earlier day.

radicals have yet occupied; aud AZ Il Is certain
that the amendment will not be Immediately
ratified by thrse-fourths of the States. the
question will be kept open long enough for
him to make display OF zeal by using the
influence of his administration to secure the
lacking ratifcations. As majority of the
party are radicals, and as his rivals for the
succession will probably be radicals, he has
made dexter0us enough move in ooollv
mounting this radical hobby. General Grant
desires not enly TO be renommated by the Rs-
publicans, but to be reelected; aud he calcu-
lates, with apparent good reason, that the
negro vote will be given to the Repu blican
party. In q very close CONTEST the negro
vote would be sufficient to turn the scale in
several OF the Northern States. 1t might
enable the Republicans to carry the October
elections in 1872 aud thus virtually decide
the Presidential election. General Grant cares
little for the political rights of the negroes;
aid of their votes, which he will need badly
enough If he gets another Republican nomi-
nation.
There is nothing which the Democratic
party can do which will conduce more to its
success in 1872 than the defeat of this if
teenth amendment. A strenuous effort will
easily secure its rejection by States enough
to lay it decently in its coffin. As.an en-.
coursgement to exertion, we quote the fol

American Feeling on the Alabama Claims.

AMERICAN reellng On the Alabama Claims.
From tie ". Y. Times
That Mr.. Johnson has not correctly inter-
preted TO the people OF England the feeling
which we OF America bear them is very clear;
but We hold it to be no less clear that the
extreme reactionary TRADE INDUCED in GER
tam quarters is quite as grave misrepre sem
tation Oh American feeling. 1t is clearly a
mistake In him to figure us as glowing with
the nres OF fIaternal affection towards Great
BRITAIN; put 1t Is just as great a mistake to
represent us as burning with resentment and
hate.
We protest that the wild talk latalv in
dulged OF procuring the humiliation of Eng
land" and OF taking nothing less in the sst.
tlement of the Alabama claims. ia utterly
without authority, governmental or popular.
1t is the mere raVing OF journals accustomed
to 60 to frenzied extremes on all subiects
and accordingly on this. There is certainly
no official authority for such a position. To
propose terms of settlement for damsgas
which by their nature cannot be reduced 10
definite form, and to make those terms of
settlement the Humiliation" of ones adyer
sary, ''means war"-as Mr.. Thornton is re-
ported to have said. President Grants watch
word has always been, "Let us have peace, "
and In his inaugural Address he declared, ~
would respect the rights OF all nations, de.
manding equal respect for our own" Phat
he is dissatisfied with the first draft of the Ala
bama Convention Is very true; but that he pro
poses "the humiliation of Great Britain al
substitute for that convention is an inferenc,
as unwarranted as IL is preposterous.
Nor is there any popular Foundation in this
demand for Humiliation" The true feeling
OF the American people regarding the Claren-
dom Johnson protocol has been one o
thorough disappointment. But it has Ger
tainIy been no feeling Of anger, nor even o
indignation, nor hardly of chagrin. The feel
ing Is simply that the convention does no
represent the well-understood popular feel
ing In Great Britain, as well as America, re
garding the proper terms of settlement, ant
hence must be rejected. Our own conviction

feeling In both countries so clear, the obvious
