with no uncertain sound. In regard to
both private and public debts We hold by

the following particulars of the disastrous
fire which occurred il Fincastle on Mon
day last:
The fire originated in stable belong

Nj, and was evidently the work otan in
cendiary. There being II high wind at
the time, the flames spread with fearful
7iApidity, and the fire apparatus, when
brought to the scene, was found unfit fer
ice, owing TO It's having been opt of
use aud neglected some time, the valves
having become dry and hard.
The buildings entirely consumed are
given as follows:
Dwelling House and stable Of James

belonging to him. but occupied by Mr..

Republican Caucus.

Speclal telegram 10 the DlSpatcn.
WASHINGTON, December 15.-The
caucus of Republican senators this morn-
ing was lively one. and sign ifcant of an
impending storm in the Republican party
There was lively debate on the question
of lhorough investi CATION Of the expendi-
lures of the Government, and not little
exhibition of i'll feeling between the
Administration senators and Schurz and
Trnmbull, reformers The brca' be-
tween the two wings of the party is widen
ing daily The friends of Grant in the
caucus fought bard against the proposed
measure of rigid rquiry into the alarm
ing increase ia public expenditures. but
were compelled to yield acquiesence
therein to avoid the imputation thata re-
fusal would be considered tan tamount to
an acknowledgment that that the civil
service has been so grossly n;ismauaged
as to shun day light. The caucus finally
agreed to Trumbuli's resolution for in
quiry into what methods can be resorted
to for securing accountab ility in the dis
bursement of public money; whether
moneys had been paid out illegally, and
to what extent expenses may and ought
to be reduced, and struck out the portion
re latipg to civil service.
Conkllng was furious at the result of
the caucus, and several other senators
were not much behind him in violent ex-
pressions of dissat sfaction.
