Destructive Fire.

The Barn and Wagon House, belonging to
Mr.. f. L. Walker, in Middle Smithfeld town
ship, was together with its contents, totally
destroyed by fire on Thursday morning last
A pair Of valuable horses; five COWS, of pure
Durham stock, choice animals, for which Mr..
Walker could have had one hundred dollars a
piece, and all heavy with calf; three sheep,
about fifteen tons Of excellent hay, harness,
plows, wagons, and the usual general contents
Of well ordered farm barn, were destroyed
with the buildings. The fire was first discov-
cred at about two o'clock in the morning. by
members of Mr.. Walkers family, (himself
and lady being away from home, who were a.
vakcned, doubtless, by the glare of light in
their bed rooms and the cracking of the burn
ing timbers; and when they got to the barn the
main building was so far gone as to render the
saving of anything utterly impossible. The
FIRE was, without doubt, the work of an in
cendiary, as there had been no fire in the buiI-
ding in any shape. The theory that ii caught
from the shaking Of a load of lime in the wa
gon shed, which was first started, is exploded
by the facts that the fire originated in the main
building, while the lime lay in the rear end
of the shed, which was not yet on fire when
abe work Of destruction was discovered, and
that the lime vas in chunks, showing no signs
Of slaking, as late as Sunday last. Many rea-
cons combine to fix the FIRE as the work of some
spiteful miscreant, and Il will be pity if he is
not caught and severely punished for his crime
Such devils in human shape, who can thus, in
sheer wantonness. destroy the property of their
fellows, even to the burning of brute beasts
which could not injure them, are not fit to live
among men. Hr. Walkers loss i.about s., 900

Generals Grant and Hancock,

The Hartford Courdnt has the follow
ing concerning the personal relations OF
Grant and Hancock:
The New York World blunders in its
haste to make point against General
Grant. 1t intimates that Hancock is as
signed to the Department of Dakota in a
spirit of petty revenge, and evidently sup
poses that he is to live in Dakota. 1t
should hare related the fact that after the
Tammany Convention General Grant,
against whom no unkind word or deed
against Hancock is charged, met the lat
ter in the streets of Washington, and IN
his usual good humor, gave him cordial
word of greeting, which Hancock passed
unnoted /; that is, he "cut' the General.
The insult, if rendered while they were
on duty, would have subjected Genera
Hancock to a court martial. Instead o.
viewing the assignment of Hancock a:
malic Gus, the sarcatic remark of the World
that it is ''magnanimous" is literally true

Minnesota, Dakota and Montana, witt
headquarters at the pleasant post of St
Paul-the department from which Gen
eral Terry has just been relieved. Gen
eral Hancock has been treated with
courtesy and a consideration that has un

The Suit Against General Butler.

In the Supreme Court of this city, on
Saturday, Judge Dobbin delivered an
opinion in the case Of Kimberly & Broth.
ers VS.. b. L. Butler, instituted to recover
from General Butler moneys paid to him
while in command at Fortress Monroe fo1
rent of premises on government land al
that post.
General Butler, by his counsel, asked
to remove the case to the United States
Circuit Court for this district, without
giving bonds. The Judge decided in
favor of the petitioner, and ordered the
proceedings in the Supreme Court to be
stopped until it shall appear that the
defendant has failed to file record of the
case beforn the United States Court at
its next session.

o. In Watertown, Wisconsin, there is q
young man who has been troubled for the
last twenty years with some living creature
in his stomach, which has had the effect OF
seriously injuring his health, and at times
has threatened to end his life. The motions
of the animal can be distinctly felt and heard
by placing the hand or ear upon the stomach.
Frequently it comes up into the throat, pro-
ducing strangulation. At such times he
says he can still feel the lower part of the
creature moving about in his stomach, leav-
ing no doubt that it is snake, and not ve-
ry small one either

Order from General Stoneman--T The Test
Oath &c.

RICHMOND, March l5-General Stone
man issued an order, to day, republishing G
the act of Congress vacating the State
Offices within thirty days from the passage
of the act, and ordering that all persons
who cannot take the iron clad oath should
be removed from Office on the 18th inst.
This creates quite panic in the State
Offices, for nearly one-third of the officers
are unable to take the oath. For the
officers that pay no salaries the Command
ing General has had no applications, and
consequently, no appointments have been
made For many of the judgeship there
have been no applications, which leaves
the legal business in a chaotic state.
This morning batch of new appoint
ments were made for the City Council,
and some minor city Offices. To morrow
it is stated, new set of officers will bt
appointed in the Capital

nGRThe action of the President in sending
Phil. Sheridan back to New Orleans does not
meet the approval of the Democratic leaders
and newspaper men, while with the masses Of
all parties it is looked upon as most righteous
action. The fact is, the people of New Orlean:
have some knowledge of Philip, and having
been in New Orleans Philip has some knowl.
edge of its people. When in New Orleans, a:
Commander of the Department, when rebels
were agrieved he righted their grievances, and
he did no more but Just as much, for loyalists
His sole aim then was, to see that the laws
were faithfully executed-to secure life and
property, and to protect the people in the pur-
suit of their rights. Had he been allowed to
remain then, and continue his work without
hindcrence, all that section OF country, would
have been thoroughly and properly reconstruc-
ted, and Louisiana, to-day, would be represent
ed in Congress without dispute. lie goe;
back there now to complete the work interrup-
ted by his removal, and under his wise and un-
flinching determination TO make the right pre-,
vail, life and property viii be safe, men who
have the right to vote viii be secure in the ex-
ercise of that right, men who think will be per,
mitted to express their thoughts freely, and
none but those in whose bosoms lurk the smoul-
dering embers of rebellion viii ever be made
to feel that, in meeting Phil. Sheridan, they
are meeting any other than the quiet citizen,
engaged in the peaceful pursuit of his lawful
calling-a light in the path of those whose
aims are good, but very terror in the way o.
evil doers. His appointment to this command
was among the first acts Of President Grant
and we shall be much mistaken If the end doe:
not show it to have been among the best.

House an arrangement has been made up to
take up the subject on Wednesday (yester-

to ventilale his peculiar notions in regard 10
the comparative length of the heels and size
of the craniums Of the different rsc ces, and

Owing to the legal impediment in the way
of his holding the office, \. L. Stewart resign
ed the Secretaryship of the Treasury last week.
The Hon. George S. Boutwell,, of Massachu-
sets was nominated and unanimously confirm
cd in his stead. Owing to i'll health, the Hon.
E. B. Washburne, on Wednesday of last week,
resigned the Secretaryship of State. The res
ignation was accepted, and the Hon. Hamilton
Fish, of New York, was nominated and unani-
mously confirmed in his stead. Mr.. Wash
burne was then nominated, by the President,
rs Minister to the Court of France, and was u
unanimously confirmed for theposition. The
Cabinet as now constituted stands rs follows:
Secretary of State-Hamilton Fish, of New
York

With the Cabinet as at first selected, th'
people were well satisfied The members wer'
all selected with view TO the peculiar fitnes
of each for the position to which he was assign
ed; and though somc bore names strange t.
the masses, yet the public confidence in Gen
Grants wisdom of choice is so greet, that neve
a fear was entertained that in each of his advi
sers the President had the right man in precise
ly the right place.
| Nor docs it initiate against the existence o
q full measure of public confidence in the ney
Cabinet, that its members bear names fanilia
to the public ear. Each Secretary has beer
in public position which he has filed ably ant
well-so well that even fault-ffnding Democra
cy can find TO word of cavil against either
and pronounces each man good for his place
They are all Republicans of the ardent stamp
and being such, there is no reason for room t
fear but that the Cabinet and the Prcsiden
will work together for the restoration of peac
to the country, and for the general advance
mont of the prosperity of the people.

Sheridan for Louisiana.

The Democrats after considera BILE
skirmishing and the making of several
feints seem to have selected for their first
real point of attack upon the new admin
istration the assignment of Gen. Sheridan
to the Department of Louisiana. The
World opens its batteries upon this and
the lesser guns are joining in full chorns
1t is "wanton insult to the Southern
people" 1t means not "peace" but the
sword. 1t is "taking Sheridan from the
place he was best fitted for, and putting
in him the place he was least fitted for"
1t is disregard of the wishes of those
whose feelings should have been respec-
ted" and so forth for quantity.
If the Democrats make an issue here,
the Republicans are very willing to ac-
cept it. 1t is ture Grant said "Let us
have peace" but he defined his speace"
when he said that if he were elected Pre-
sident he would see to it, that in every
part of the land man could hold what
political views he pleased, without moles
tation. Grants "peace" was to be the
the peace protecting equal rights, not the
bastard peace of successful caste. 1t is
with the intention of giving his kind of
peace to the Southwest, the most turbul
ant and refractory district of the late
rebel States, thst Grant is sending Phil
Sheridan down there. We warrant he
will secure it.
