The residence OF Frederick Douglass on South
avenue, lust inside the city line, was destroyed
by fire last night. Shortly before midnight Mrs.
n. Spraguc, Mr. Douglass daughter was
awakened with smoke On looking into an adj
joining room she saw bright light, and imme-
dlately aroused her husband. He jumped from
his bed aud discovered the house on fire. Mrs.
Douglass and three of Mr.. Sprague's children
were sleeping up stairs. The husband and wife
rushed up stairs and called Mrs. Douglass and
with her assistance rescued the three children
from the burning building. After getting the
family out of DOORS Mr.. Sprague remembered
that in the excitement he had forgotten the baby
which had been left in the bed so suddenly va

through the dense, binding smoke, and sue

The room from where this child was taken was
on fire when the father entered it. The family
then made an attempt to save some of the fur

late Col. McNlcar, was the first of the neighborS
| who arrived, and she was quickly followed by
| MeSsrs. A. +. Barney, Benz. Ridley and Joseph
| Scheimetz, all of whom labored hard to save
some of the contents of the burning building.
| They succeeded in saving few pieces of furni-
ture from the parlOr, and most of the library,
| with the help of the members of the truck COM
pany, under the direction of their foreman, Jos.
Ringlestein, and other tiremen. An alarm had
| been given from box II, corner of Mt. Hope and
South avenues, and the fire department reached
the scene of the fire in a remarkably short space
| of time-for so tong a distance An attempt
was made TO save the piano, but without sue
cess. Some of Mr.. Douglass most valu-
able books were consumed. Nothing
| else, except the articles mentioned
above, was saved from the house. Mr..
Sprague lost all his household furniture,
clothes, and $50 in money. The fire took in the
west end of the barn, and everything in that
building was consumed-a COW, valued at 500,
ton of hay, some grain, sleigh, democrat
wagon, TOOLS &c. All these belonged to Mr..
Sprague. His entire loss is at least $1,000. No

from the house was saved, together with two
horses. The loss of Mr.. Douglass is estimated
at $1,000. Insured as follows: on house and per-

WEDNESDAY. JUNE -: 1874.

The dispatches from Philadelphia continue TO
discuss the vice presidency. According 70 The
latest reports, Gen. Wilson's chance OF getting
the nomination is constantly growing better and
better. Many influences are at work in his
favor, and some of the dispatches say he likely
10 lead Mr.. Colfax on the first ballot. The
Pennsylyanians want the vice presidency for po-
litieal uses in their own state; but they cannot
agree on candidate, and few of them mean
TO vote for Gen. Wilson, at any rate. The only
candidates who have even remote chance of
success are Gen. Wilson, Mr.. ColGax, and Gen.
Hawley.
1t is curious to notice how the New Haven
Palladium takes the report of Gen. Hawley's
chances, which, of course, is not pleasant to
persons in and around that office, who have
treated him so dishonorably. Ii says: 80 far
as Connecticut and New England generally ale
concerned, Governor Jewell would be far
stronger candidate" We beg the Palladium
not to speak for New England generally" 1t
is not qualified to do so. Moreover, we notice
that the contemplate disposition to underrate
and misrepresent Gen. Hawley is confined
chiefly to New Haven. We have very great re-
spect for Gov. Jewell; but to say that he would
be stronger than Gen. Hawley, as a candidate
for the vice presidency, is 10 ignore facts and
talk nonsense. We confess freely that we can
not understand the unhappy condition of mind
which makes it possible for even New Haven
paper to say it.
We prefer Gen. Henry Wilson to all others
for the vice presidency; and our present ad.
vices lead us to believe he will be nominated
But, so far as relates to other candidates, Gen
Hawley would undoubtedly be the first choic,
of New England generally" including nine
tenths of Connecticut; and so far as concern
the whole country, he would be one of the yer
strongest candidates that can be named for tn
office. Connecticut has among her republican
no man who is more widely or more favorabl
known 10 the republican party than Gener;
Hawley. This fact may seem incredible to tn
Palladium; nevertheless, it is fact with whic
that journal ought to become acquainted. 1t
widely known in the republican party, that GeI
Hawley has marked ability and irreproachabl
character, as well as manliness, honor, and ger
erous impulses, and that he is republican VIII

against having him deprecated and msrepre

cessiyely fond Of joke, even if 4 practical one,
lover Of field sports and out of door life, with
plenty Of prejudices, and with a curious vein of
sentimentality or possibly an affectation of it,
which harmonized i'll with the other elements Of
his character. He was an industrious and sue
cessiul writer, and had many warm personal
friends. His Charles O'Malley is regarded by

Mr. Greeley's friends held their ratification
meeting in New York, Monday night, under Sc
rious difficulties. These difficulties had caused
one or two postpcnements of the meeting, but
they could not be overcome. 1t was to be
meeting of Greeley republicans" but not
enough Of this sort could be found 10 make
show. Speakers were wanted but they cou Id
not be found, or, at least, not enough of the
right sort to serve the purpose. Schurz and
Trumbull would not come, Upton alone being
disposed to aid the undertaking. Finally, an
appeal was made to the democrats, and, with
the aid of Ben Wood and his crowd, the demo-
cratic organizations of Tweed's ward, and others
of the same sort. the meeting was held. 1t con-
sisted chiefly of democrats of the worst
sort, the only sort with whom such
men as Ben Wood have any influence. The
most capable speakers were democrats, and,
although Upton and fitzpatrick were on hand,
the meeting was really democratic meeting;
and yet, the managers could not enlist in their
service the better sort of democrats. If Nr.
Greeley can feel at home in this new camp" it
IS singular that he has so long delayed to Join
1t openly. We know there is a popular estimate
of Mr.. Greeley, which makes him much superior
TO what he really is; but we can not believe he
finds his present political surroundings entirely
satisfactory. He can not be elected president;
but, if his ratification meeting had been held
Immediately after the nomination, il might have
been more successful in the way he desired.

longing to the territory. Mr.. Howe telegraphs
from Cheyenne that the story is a 'damnable lie

The debates in both houses of parliament, on
Monday, show an uneasiness in regard to the
issue Of the Alabama negotiations which might
have been spared if the Indifference on the same
subject here had been understood. Although
the arbitration is not definitely abandoned, there
are very few in this country who expect or hope
anything from further negotiations. 1t is uni
Yersally admitted that our government has made
every concession which equity or courtesy de-
mands or honor will allow, and that Great Brit
ain may take what we offer or leave it, as she
chooses, assuming, if she decides upon the latter
course, the whole responsibility of bringing to
naught what at one time seemed promising
opportunity of houorably adjusting vexatious
controversy, and Of making a precedent Of
great value in future international COM
plieations. The people of the United
States were not all satisfied with the concession
involved in the proposed supplementary treaty
but they are all agreed in the opinion that moth
ing further should be yielded, and Mr.. Glad
stone should be made 10 understand so much
without delay, if he has not already been so in
formed. If he wishes to save the treaty his
only way TO do it is TO accept the supplementary
article as the senate left it, and that soon. If
he wishes TO defeat it any other course will
have that result. The opinion is gaining ground
here that the course of English statesmen
in this matter has been intended, since the
strength Of our case was developed, to break
down the treaty and at the same time throw
upon the United States the responsibility for its
failure.
