.'THE BAXTER DEATH WARRANT"
The missouri Departure in Knoxville.

The following is the call for convention
to send delegates to the Cincinnati Lib
eral Convention. 1t is what Howard and
his associates-the editorial corps Of the
sheet down the street-calls "The Baxter
Death Warrant We find it in the
Memphis appeal:
Official frauds and thefts which once
have startled tbs American people have
become so frequent that they hardly awak-
en- q moments attention. Corruption
prospers and virtue decays. Two great
parties struggle for the ascendancy. Each
is extreme i'll its principles and prejudices,
and hence neither is capable of restoring
public tranquility. Both are striving for
power, and when obtained, neither has
shown itself disposed to WELD it judici-
ously or constitutionally. The history of
neither entities it to public confidence or
support. Disregard of the Constitution
Indifference to public rights and interests
"a prOf1igate and corrupt use of the public
funds-the occupation Of high official sta
tiOns by unprincipled men, are all evils
which call loudly for redress and reform.
Distinguished men of the Republican and
of the Democratic party have become
alarmed in view of the dangers which
threaten US, and have asked the patriotic
men of all parties, to meet them in con-
ventiOn in Cincinnati, Ohio. In order to
signify to them our appreciation of their
efforts 10 reform official abuses, restore
power and efficiency to the Constitution
peace, purity and prosperity to the Gov
ernment, it is proposed to hold a conven-
ton on
next, for the purpose of appointing dele
gates to the Cincinnati Convention. We
invite every one who feels personally in
terested i'm the meeting, no matter what
may be his rank or condition i'll life, or his
former party affinities or associations.
The above call, as near as VIC can learn,
was signed by, among others, the follow
ing gentlemen
\. Caldwell, George Washington, Thos.

perhaps others.
The above call is published in connec
ton with the following letter:

New Brighton, 8. l., Ablaze-A Burning
Boarding HOuse-Strong Suspicious Of
Incendia rism-The Losses.
The numerous fires which have taken place in
large cities, located in various and diverse parts
of the Union, have induced the belief that these
disastrous connagrations are caused by an organ
ized body OF incendiares
little before six O'Clock last Friday evening fire
occurred at New Brighton s. L. the facts and results
oil which leave no shadow OF a doubt in the minds
of those familiar with the circumstances that its
origin certainly not the result Of accident. The
circumstances OF the calamity are simply these:-
Mrs. J. Bright was proprietrcss of large square
frame building close to the landing pier OF the
steamboats, at New Brighton. The edifce was four
He'p Wide piazza. % Il was owned by Mr. T. Vredenbnrg
and, though valued at $4,000, was only insured
$500 Ia the American Companies OF New York
city,. Mrs. Bright kept many boarders. The
furniture the iandady possessed s @ was Of consider der
According to the statement the lady made to
HERALD reporter who visited the ruins Saturday,
she first received intlmation that her domicile was
ablaze by hearing shrieKs and cries from her SER
wants, who were In the lower apartments. She
rushed down stairs and discovered that large
volumes OF smoke were ascending from the vicinity
OF the kitchen. Her cries alarmed the neghbors who
arrived promptly, and succeeded by their strenuous
exertons in quelling and checking the progress OF
the flames. A short time afterwards, however,
fire was discovered In one OF the attics at the OPP
primary connagraton had occurred. The alarm
bells rang out their dreadful mOnOdy second
time, and one steam and four hand engines, as
sisted by an energetic corps OF bucket men, en-
deavored to control the nre, but without
avail. Much OF the furniture was rescued from
the scorching, greedy lips OF the crimson fire
fend but the building itself was speedily con.
sumed, and now only two tall chmneys, which
stand like gloomy spectrcs against the sky, mark
the place OF the once pretty edifce.
1t Is singular fact that in that part OF the base
ment where the lre lrst originated the doors were
ivy iabI a w an raIy
fastened at the time or the fire that ingrcss to the
locality had to be obtained by force.
1t was with the utmost dificulty that the ada
cent buildings were saved from destruction; and,
indeed, had II not been for the zeal and energy
displayed by the police and neighbors, much
property now In safe custody would have become
the prey of thieves, who congregated around the
burning building.
IL Is a lamentable fact that the west shore of
Staten Island Is not better supplied with water.
All that obtainabe ON Friday night was derived
from cisterns or "the river" and the means for
ejecting even these supplies upon the burning pile
were inadequate In the extreme Where frame
buildings exist precautions against FIRE should be.
