GENERoUs!-The original Army
Bill reduced the pay of General Sher-I
man from $4,000 to $4,000, but it
couldn't be got through in that shape,
The General did finally generously
consent to take five hundred dollars
less, and the bill finally passed allow
ing him S17,500. That's heavy. job
of retrenchment, veryl We should
suppose. it would be difficult to con-
vince the farmers, mechanics and Ia
boring men who earn the money to
pay these high salaries that $4,000 is
not enough salary for the General OF
our armies. But what right have they
to complain! as Jj a,fig ,a.,i

A MuDDLE.-The Radical Legisia-
ture at its last session passed an act
extending the term Of County Audit
ors in office for a period of over eight
months beyond the expiration Of the
terms for which they were severally
elected, and postponing the elections
which would otherwise take place this
fall to a year from next October. 1t
is claimed that in this act the Legisls-
ture exceeded their constitutional au-
thority, and we notice that in a num-
Der of counties both political parties
are preparing to nominate candidates
for that Office the present year. We
have taken no time to examine the
question, but it will be well, before
the nominations are made, for all in
terested to become fully posted upon
the matter and govern themselves
accordingly, -''-

The Great Fire in Philadeiphia-Men

PHILADELPHIA, July 25.-The loss
by fire this evening is roughly esti-
mated at five hundred thousand dol
lars. The sugar refinery of Newhall,
Borie & Co., seven stories high, and
filled with valuable machinery and a
large stock of refined sugars, was
destroyed. During the fire the rear
wall fell on an adjoining building,
crushing it and carrying down nine
firemen, all of whom are believed to
be killed. All the surrounding build
ings are damaged. The roof of the
leather store of j. F.. HUFFMAN, two
blocks off, caught fire from the sparks
and was burned off. The large build
ing of Misky, Merrill & Shackard, and
the glass house of Whital & Co., adj
joining the sugar house, were ON fire

which the carpet-baggers have got all
the honors and emoluments, and left
only the hard work of voting early
and often 10 the negroes, is neither
.needfnl or desirable. An impression
of this sort is especially prevalent in
South Carolina at present; and the
blacks, being large majority of the
voters, seem strongly inclined to assert
their rights, under the old rule that
the spoils should be divided among
those who win the victory. The in
dications just now are that the carpet
bag crew, including the Ohio pill.ped-
dler who has SO long filled the Gov
ernor's chair of the Palmetto State,
win be rernitted to private life by
their colored friends at the first OPP

faith in thenegroe's capacity for SELF

experiment fairly tried at an early

domination, pure and simple, in South
