Some idea of the magnitude Of the ruin
in Chicago may be formed when it is stated
chat the buildings destroyed, if they were
situated side by side, would reach distance
Of 100 miles.
Mr.. Mullet, the government architect,
says that in his opinion, "good hard bricks
make the best fire proof buildings that he
knows of'=zbetter than granite or marble.
A Baltimore clergyman recognizes in rail-

Of man. He is tight.

A FoREGoNE CONCLUSION. The Radical
Governor of South Carolina says there was
no necessity for suspension Of hoJeas cor
pus in that State. 4 Radical judge, in
charging grand jury and urging them to
report every violation Of law, said he knew
of none himself, and didn't know any person
who did eacept President Grant. The
grand jury-composed of six whites and
six blacks, all Radicals-reported upon their
oaths that the allegations of the President
are without foundation, and must have been
communicated by persons regardless of the
good order and peace Of society.
This corners "our later Washington, /"
and proves that he fabricated pretext for
subjecting a whole people to the horrors of
military law Whig

the most momentous elections ever held in
the State will be a thing of the past, but we
caution our readers to be wary and careful
lest it result for woe instead Of veal
Upon the next legislature will rest the
election of near one hundred judges. We
all know that the Judiciary in the hands Of
upright and correct men is the safeguard Of
the people. If the Radicals control the
Legislature, we may look forward to parti-
san judiciary Of the worst kinda second
edition Of Underwood in every county in the
State. Who can contemplate such condi-
ton of affairs with apathy Yet, if we do
not work to defeat it, even in Augusta, we
may help to make up Legislative ma
jority for the Radicals, when worse than
iron.clad judiciary will be upon us.
The next Legislature will control the
School System Of the State. It will fix the
rate Of taxation for the support Of Schools.
If experience in other Southern States is
sufficient for us to judge from, nothing
should be left undone to defeat the Radicals.
They have fixed the school-tax at 81 on
every $100 in Texas, Mississippi and else
where and Virginia will be no exception.
We beseech you, readers not to throw away
your votes, but concentrate on the Conser.
vative ticket and defeat such state of af.
fairs here.
The control Of Schools, includes the Uni
ve.sity Of Virginia and Va. Military Insti

sity and Institute. if Radicalism is dominant
in Virginia. Conservatives can you regard
this with patience Then do not waste your
strength, but concentrate on the nominees
of the party, to prevent, certainly, as much
as possible, so dire calamity.
The next Legislature will re-district the
State for Representation in Congress-
Would you have it fixed for Radical repre-.
sentation hereafter-Augusta thrown with
counties to overbalance her large Conserva-
tive majority? Then 60 to the polls and
vote to defeat this. Vote for the men upon
whom the majority Of the party is concen-
trated-the Conservative nominees.
There is but one issue. Radical domino.

Expires Yesterday Morning - A
Res,deut of ACCOMPLISHMENTS
but Two Weeks Before Ills Death.
We are panied ct having to chronicle
the sad death of an estimable young man,
late of Knoxville, named A. d. Gardner,
which occurred on Monday evening last
about 3 o'clock. Mr.. Gardner was fof
some time past in the employ OF Messrs.
G. W. Saulpaw & Co., of this city, VINO
have in charge the building Of bridges on
the Northwestern railroad line. He, with
others. was at work on one OF the hgn
trestle bridges on section IL, near hing
ston Springs, on Monday last, and while
at work thereon, he tripped and fell head
long to the ground below. He was taken
mn by his companions and conveyed to
bouse. and medical aid procured as prompt-
" as possible. 1t was evident, however,
from the first that he had been MORALLY
hurt. and on Tuesday he was brought to
the city, and placed in the Depot Hotel,
vbare all that could be done was done.
He fingered until yesterday morning at
o'clock when he breathed his last. In the
meantime his wife was telegraphed for at
Chattanooga, and she arrived yesterday
morning two hours before he died. 1t was
a sad message, indeed, to the young wife,
as only two weeks before she was bride,
and had scarcely enjoyed day in the SO.
ciety of her husband, ere she was sum
moned to witness the untimely death o.
him who was dearer to Ter than all else Oh
earth; and, with the bridal wreath yet up
on her fair young brow, as it were, wa
called upon, by the stern hand of fate, t.
doff her wedding gown, and don the mel
ancholy hue of mourning.
The remains left this city yesterday eve
ming, accompanied by Mrs. Gardner, TO
| Knoxville, the home of his parents.
