they are all manufactured by the friends
of Grant and the State administra-
ton, solely for the perpetuatiOn of
their own power. A better or more civ
lily disposed law-abiding people than
the people of the White River Valley
never mingled with in my life. If un-
molested and protected, as all men
ought to be, and not Over-ridden and
trOdden down by adventures and ear
petbag thieves, they would make this
valley the grandest in the world. In
stead of being peaceable and law-abiding
it is a wonder TO me they have not risen
in arms long ere this and driven the
class of men / have referred to from the
State. Below find the names to which
you may refer, if desired, for the state

INCENDIARISM.
Negroes Carrying Out Threats Of Ku.
KlHxing and Burning.

New YORK, July SO.-A dispatch
from Charlotte, North Carolina, says
that while Senator SchurZ was address,
ing meeting there yesterday an alarm
of fire was raised and smoke was imme-
diately afterward seen issuing from an
unoccupied house in the heart of the
city. The meeting had to cease for a
few minutes; the crowd dispersed in
Wild excitement, but the fire was ex-
tinguished however, and the crowd soon
rallied and the speech resumed. A ne
gro was heard few moments before the
alarm to say he could kill and burn as
well as any kukluX, and thus speaking
left the crowd. The fire was plainly the
result of incendiarism. Subsequently on
investigation by Mayor Tweed, the fire
was traced to this negro, who had mean
while taken fight.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-A heavy fire is
raging at Hunters Point, Long Island.
A number of boats have been burned.
The oil yard near the Long Island rail-
road depot is on fire, and the depot is
threatened, together with the depot of
the Flushing and North Shore railroad.
A high wind is blowing.
LATER.
The fire at Hunters Point, which it
appears commenced in a canal boat
loaded with oil, is still raging. The
flames were communicated to the Stand
ard Oil Works, which had a million
barrels In store, and spread extensively.
1t is reported that woman and child
on the canal oil boat were burned to
death. Two Williamsburg ferry-boats
are also reported burned. There is a
panic among the people at Hunters
Point and the houses are deserted. The
fire departments efforts seem powerleSs.
All the cars of the Flushing road have
been removed, and all the property on
the river, in front of the place, is also
being rapidly removed. The loss Will
be enormous.
There were five large tanks of naptha
and refined oil, each containing five
thousand gallons. -Four of these were
burned. Hopes were entertained at last
accounts of saving the remaining tank.
Over fifty thousand barrels of petroleum,
which were on the wharf awaiting ship
ment, We're burned, as also We're four
ships and three canal boats, all of which
were loaded with oil. Many of the burn
ing barrels of oil were rolled into the
river, endangering shipping. All the
vessels are now removed. No ferTybOat
was burned, as was reported. Goes
Phosphate Factory, together with a
large amount of stock, was consumed.
Loss estimated at ninety thousand dol
lars.
The Standard Oil Works were entirely
consumed by three o'clock.
Pratt's AstrOl W FORKS, in the rear of
the Standard Works, are not yet ignited,
and hopes are entertained of saving
them, as the wind is now blowing the
flames toward the river.
Many of the sheds owned by ROcka-
fellar, Andrews & Co., containing seve-
raj thousand barrels of oil, were entirely
At four o'clock it was reported that
the fire was confined to the oil in the
tanks and TO that which lay in the
holds of the burning vessels.
Many contradictory reports are afiOat,
and it is impossible 10 ascertain the pre-
else extent of the loss by the fire, but it
is believed that it will reach six hundred
thousand dollars. 1t is believed that the
fire originated by some accident in
canal boat which was unloading at the
wharf The Fire Department did all in
their power, but their efforts were un-
ayailing. At one time the fire extended
over three blocks, covering the entire
space with one solid flame.
The following is the estimated loss:
On vessels, one hundred thousand dOl-t
lars; on Standard OilWorks, two hun
dred thousand dollars; on Goes works,
twenty-five thousand five hundred dol
lars. Almost all the losses are fully COW
cred by insurance. No further destruc-
ton is now apprehended, the fire being
pretty well subdued.
