The Lake Shore road would be built 10
Freeport, and Wheeling would connect
at that place, either by Flushing OF
Brushy Fork.
Mr.. Bogss thought they would get
charter, and that the committee should
be appointed and be working
Mr.. Oliver Burdett thought that the
committee should be at work. He did
not see the necessity for, a charter, al
he was OF the opinion that the organ
ization OF the road would begin at some
commercial city, and it made no differ
ence whether this route had a charter
or not. He proposed that the commit
tee should get assurance from the land
owners as to the right of way. If the
man was a man of honor. his word was
as good as his bond. If the committee
were efficient they could form an esti
mate of the support which would be
given. The Lake Shore road could
extend its charter tbroug b the route
which offered the most assistance. de
thought that the people were being
walked up. ..- -. 10
Mr.. McClain said that prelimi
nary steps had been taken to secure a
charter, and they would have 1t within
the next ten days. The committee
should commence its labors immedi
ately, and as soon as an organization
was ffected it would be made legal.
He said they wanted a committee who
were willing to work.
Mr.. Forsythe thought that the COM
mittee when they went to work should
have legal books, and take stock as
they secure the right of way. lie
mentioned case near him where a
family had declared they would not
take a dollars worth OF stock, and be-
fore a month had taken thirty-two
shares.
The motion was amended by adding
that the committee also ask for sub
scriptions.
Mr.. Watson was not aware that this
route had no charter. lie was aston
ished that it had none. He wanted to
know why it had not been secured
There was no certainty OF anything
without a charter.
Mr.. McClain stated that it had been
delayed at the suggestion OF some friends
OF the route.
The motion, as amended, was car
ried.
John n. Henderson, S. R. Watson,
and George Cook were appointed to Sc
lect committee for stock, right Of
way, ETC., who reported as said com
mittee: Jesse Forsythe, Washington
township; David Barrett, Nottingham

The report of the committee wa;
adopted.

The Canvass of 1872.

The st. Louis Republican sug-
gests that noDemocrat candidate
be nominated for President in
1871, but that the fight be left be-
TWEEN Grant and any other Re
publican who may choose to enter
the field against him. 1t is no
use to discuss this suggestion.
1t can not and will not be
adopted. The fact that such a
course worked well in Missouri at
a State election proves nothing.
There a large portion of the DEM
ocrats were DISTINGUISHED and not
allowed to vote, and the issue be-
tween the Republican candidates
was one for and the other against
on that question. But in the
United States generally there is
no such condition of things. An
organization which numbers its
millions Of voters, and which has
a majority of the white people of
the country, is not going to sur
render in advance upon a mere
suggestion that its efforts may
not be crowned with success. Its
political history, 1tS principles
and it's future alike forbid it. 1t
will at the proper time have its
candidates and make it's best
fight in their behalf-a fight the
Republican (not being a prophet
or son Of a prophet) can not
say will not be q success. At any
rate, the chance of beating Grant
with candidate nominated by a
Democratic Convention is a great
deal better than to trust to its be-
ing done by any Republican In
dependent, who could not begin
to poll in such an event the
strength of our organization. We
give in another column the high
" sensational article of the Re-
publican in which its reasons for
the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the party
are set forth.-Cin. Enquirer.

The Horrors of Fire in Wisconsin.

A Correspondent Of the Mill
waukce Sentinel writes as follows,
concerning the destruction of the
town of Pesltigo, Oconto county,
Wisconsin,:
The village of Peshigo is burnt
to the ground, and from 1000 to
1900 persons. arc out Of hoUes
and employment. The fire was
seen last night first at $50 o'clock,
and at 10 O'Clock every building
was on fire, together with the
great peshtigo Manufacturing
company's pail and tub factory.
The wind came from the south
west, and was heard coming an
hour before it burst upon the
town, and many were awakened
from sleep with barely time to
hasten to the river and sink them
selves in the water to save their
lives. The flames rolled noun
tain high, andswept every build
ing, stable and fence, and left a
scene most horrible to behold.
Mr.. J. j. Tauer nearly persisted
in saving his family, and lost
three in the flames, and Mr..
Beebe's family, one child, and
some one took this child to the
river. The whole town ran for
the river, hanging Oh to the logs
and booms, and had frequently to
duck their heads to save their
lives. AS many as seventy-five
are supposed to have been burned
to death. Children and mothers,
and husbands and wives are sep
arated by the fire king, never to
meet again. The people have
been fighting for two weeks the
sugar bush south and west of
town,-and then the fire kin g
moved on the town blowing great
pillows Of flame. The five story
building of the Peshtigo Manu-
factory company was lost, with
all the stock and machinery and
stores and warehouses, and the
Peshtigo house, all the stores and
property, to the amount of five or
ten millions. l just hear of the
death of seventy-five persons,
who could get no water, and were
stranglcd and burned to death.
Horses, cattle and wagons, and
all movable property, were burnt,
and many are on board this boat,
the st. 10, with heads burnt, and
eyes burnt out, and ears off.
Some save themselves by hiding
in wells, and burying themselves
in the sand, and in one case five
women persisted by a log turning,
when they all sank to rise no
more. Fires are raging near this
place, and one hundred or more
are fighting the flames off, and all
men who can are helping their
neighboring families, and many
entire families are burnt. The
loss cannot he counted.

The Origin Of the Chicago Fire.
Cincinnati Gazette Cor.

Cincinnati Gazette Cor.
paid Il visit Wednesda even
ing to Pat. Leary, No. 1877 De-
Koven street, in whose stable the
fire Sunday night started. His
house, 4 one story frame, stands,
but his stable is gone. Five
cows and one horse lie side by
side where it stood. Mrs. Leary
kept small dairy, and people
say that she was milking Il COW
that night by the light OF a kero-
sene lamp, and that the COW
kicked the lamp over and started
the fire. She says this is not
true, and that she was in bed at
the time besides, she uses
sperm oil, and not Kerosene in
her lamps. She is intensely Irish.
She says the house opposite and
across the ally north was unoccu-
pied, and she thinks some one
fired the shed on the back of
that. Many of the neighbors
affirm the story of the cow and
the kerosene lamp. I don't know
how they can be certain about
that, for no witness has turned
up. and Mrs. Leary says she
would not be milking a COW at
that time of night Another
story is that across the alley
from Mrs. Leary's some Bohe-
milan tailors got to quarrelling
and upset kerosene lamp among
a lot of shavings, and so started
the conflagration.

The InharmOniOus Republicans.

The Picayune, Of the Oath, con-
tains the following rather discour-
aging news for the few Republic
cans, scattered here and there in
North Louisiana, who are trying
to keep up Il show of harmony
in the party ranks. These be-
nighted gentlemen will be wholly
undeceived when the Legislature
meets in January:
The only subject Of political
interest anywhere discussed is
the alleged new departure de-
fined at the Carrollton meeting.
The charges made by both fac
tons OF the party in power against
each other are bitter and unre-
lenting. The effect of the meet
ing is certainly to divide their
own party. Not even the Re
publicans are ready for II black
mans party and Il white mans
party. But Lieut.. Gov. Dunn
denies that he advocated any
such thing. He merely advised
his adherents to stick to their
race and color, and surrender no
advantage they acquired by office.
He is not insensible of the fact,
he says, that to excite the animos-
tiles of race would be the death
blow to the black mans advance
ment. On the contrary, the other
wing of the party accused him
of having said these things and
even more bitter denrnciations
than any that were repeated. In
the meantime the political caul-
dron wakes hot, and it is curious
to note how the members of the
party array themselves OH either
side Of the combatants. There
are mixed colors Oh both sides,
and neither speak of the other in
amiable language. What the end
| will be Of course surpasses our
ken to predict.
