NEW YORK.

New YORK, July 3l.-The ruins of the
FIRE at Hunters Point are still burning,
but the FIRE is now confined to its origi.
nal bounds, and no further damage is
anticipated. The latest advices place
the total loss at half million. Insu-
rance not known.
The delegates to the National Reform
Party held three stormy sessions yester-
day ostensibly to nominate candidates
for the Presidency and Vice Presidency.
Nothing was done and the Convention
adjourned to meet in Philadelphia on
the 22d of August, when the nomina-
tons will be made.
Last night fire was discovered in the
row of slaughter-houses on the north
east corner of Forty.seventh street and
First avenue. Three alarms were
sounded, but the buildings burned like
finder. The whole row was destroyed,
together with l20 head of cattle and Is
horses. The total loss on the buildings
and stock is estimated at $4,000. In
surance unknown.
Bail will not be applied for in the
Stokes case, and every effort will be
made by his counsel to bring his case on
IN the October term.

The New York Press on sumner 4
Letter 10 ColOred Voters.

New York, July 3l.-The morning
papers devote considerable space in edi
torially commenting on the letter OF
Senator Sumner to the colored voters.
The Times Grant Republican organ }
does not hesitate to say that many of
Summers arguments are fallacious, and
some utterly unworthy of his reputation
for candor. As to the political signif-
canoe of the letter, the Times argues
that 1t cannot influence many intelligent
colored men, for the simple reason that
it omits entirely the answer to the one
question it sets out to answer, viz: will
Greeley or Grant enforce the require
ments OF the Constitution and laws re-
speeding the civil and political rights of
the negroes with the most heartfelt sym
patty and greatest vigorT The Times
asserts that with the Ku-Klux in the
Carolinas supporting Greeley and the
Ku-Klux in Albany penitentiary cursing
Grant, Sumner did not dare to answer
that question frankly.
The Herald reviews the letter at great
length, and does not doubt that it was
made public at the present moment in
order that it might effect the North Caro-
lima election. The Herald canvasses
different points and arguments in the
letter, and considers them powerful and
conclusive, and says if Sumner has been
late announcing his position in the
present struggle he speaks now in no
weak or uncertain voice. He declares
for Greeley against Grant, and gives
the reasons for his choice in character
istic manner.
The World is rather lukewarm in its
eulogy of Summers letter, styling it an
electioneering document, but says that
aside from the topics which he addresses
Immediately to the negroes, Sumner is
very able and cogent, and cannot fail to |
make deepimpression. His eulogy Of
Greeley is, perhaps, overstrained, but
his arraignment Of Grant is as strictly |
truthful as it is terrible and scathiRg.
The Tribune and Star consider the
arguments set forth in his letter as being
clear and full, and must have its effect.
The Tribune says the letter is a strong
the cause for which he has
labored for SO many years. 1t is
scholarly production, and more than
this, it is unanswerable.

sary to take beverage something mild
is better. A glass of cool, sparkling
soda, such as is served by Charley How

passengers and officers had sat ut

toner adds that she was compelled
to sit up all night. although bed was
offered to her on the floor Of said boat,
which she refused, for the reason that
the place was public and place of pas
sage for every one, and she could not, on
account of delicacy, disrobe herself or
be exposed to the sight of every one.

The Raleigh Sentinel, Democratic
journal, presents the following figures;
There are 2l4, 900 voters in North Caro-
lima. In 1870 Phillips, Radical candi-
date for Attorney General, only received
s4,O37. Judge Ship beat him 1925.
Only 1906 votes were polled; 4l,O79
did not vote. Of these, nearly all were
Conservatives. No one believes that
5000 Radicals failed to vote, There are
some rs, 900 negro voters. In 1870 not
more that 5000 whites voted the Radical
ticket-supposing 10000 negroes to have
voted. How easy, then, to defeat Radi-
calism forever. Only let our people for
one time march up to their duty and all
will be we'll. Radicalism will be over
thrown, the State will be redeemed,
honest and capable men will then ad-

The following compliment is taken
from the Daily Appeal of yesterday:
The nominee for County Trustee has
glided along so smoothly-his election
has been considered so certain and over
whelming, that the contest has produced
no excitement among politicians. An
over sanguine faith has often defeated
the strongest man. The conservative
masses should work for the election Of
Shiel Woodward with as much energy
as they do for q weaker candidate.
The Grand Jury had no difficulty in
examining his books, which were
found to be in model order. Mr..
Woodward has made a faithful Off
Ger. He is polite and obliging 10
disposition. He is prompt and indefati-
gable in the discharge Of his duties. He
seems TO belong to the people; does
much uncompensated service to the
public; is always busy; busy, too, in the
interest Of the county and the commun-
ity whose public servant he is. A. Wood
ward is public-spirited and invaluable
citizen, an honest man, and his good
temper, fairness and courteous bearing
have won for him the respect of large
class Of enthusiastic friends. who will
see that his name is kept on the straight
out ticket. Woodward should not be
traded or snapped off on account of his
popularity and the certainty of his cleo
ton.
