Greeley on Stamping Office
Holders.

The following was Mr.. Greeley's speech
at Williamsport, Pa, Thursday evening:
Mr.. Greeley commenced by calling to the
Administration, Cabinet, ministers, and
oficers-holders running and racing from one
end of the country to the other to persuade
the people to keep them in Office. I think
that that is something to which the people
ought not to be reconciled. Then, of course,
like master, like man, the whole body Of
office hocders-50,000 to 10000 men
generally able, influential men, are devoting
their time and talents to re-electing their SUI
periors to Office, and thereby keeping them
selves in place.
I venture to say that since the LIST day Of
May last the Federal Office holders have
done more work and devoted more attention
to keeping their places than they have to do
ing their duty. Laughter. All of them
are enormously taxed and their energies en-
ployed to sustain this machine Of power, and
then running and racing over the country,
giving up to party service and to the Presi-
dents reelection the time and energies that
belong to the people, for which the people

Correspondence of the indicator

The Conference of the Conservative man.
agors was not fully attended, fromthe fact
that it was called just at the opening of the
campaign, when everybody of position in
politics is quite busy at home 1t is sur
prlsing that as many made the time to come
as did. Hon. John 3. Baldwin, Of your
city made most encouraging report from
Augusta county. He said that while there
had not been much activity in the canvass
so far, still there had never been in any
campaign so little dissensioB. The Conser.
vative party to unit supported Greeley
The "Loyal Claims Commission" he said
had been attempting to operate in his coun.
try, it being part eff the proof of the loyal
ty of the claimant that he shall first vote for
Grant and Wilson but as the people of old
Augusta are practiced citizens they are not
likely to part with either their lands or their
votes without at least having lien upon the
purchase money. The speaker could see
no reason to doubt, with vigorous cam
paign, that bis county would give full and
triumphant vote for the Greeley ticket. Col.
james H. Skinner, of Staunton, followed
Mr.. Baldwin, and .concurred in all that he
had said in regard to Augusta, and promised
that the county canvassers, of whom he was
one, would do their whole duty.
Some resolutions were adopted looking to
4 closer organization in counties and the
stirring up the same. After appointing a
committee to secure free railroad passes for
Conservative speakers. the Conference ad-
journed sine die.
The Gas Frauds are ssill being investiga.
ted, though it is generally conceded that the
investigation will result in the clearing out
of nearly every employee in the establish
ment. The whole amount lost by the CITY
will not exceed $4,000. The root of the
corruption hasn't yet been reached and that
is that the members of the Council them
selves are instrumental in having appointed
and keeping in Office unworthy men
As usual at this season, the Jewish New
Year, large number OF business houses are
closed, making it look rather dull in "Je.

in the country in their Editorial and News
Departments.
In introducing him to you as one Of the
future Editorial Staff of the Vindicator, we
shall make no further promises, preferring
that the paper should speak for itself.
The political conduct of the paper will
not be changed.

A Terrible Scene.

BURNING OF THE OHIO STATE LUNAT1c ASYLUM.
The splendid Lunatic Asylum of Ohio
situated at Cleveland was destroyed by fire
on the 10Th inst. 1t vas 900 feet in length,
and was magnificent structure. The
Cleveland Herald gives an account of the
terrible scenes accompanying the fire and
the death Of one of the attendants, it says
Orders were given for the immediate re-

addressed themselves to this work with the
greatest zeal and energy. while others still
sought, by the aid of hose, buckets, and 9th
err appliances at hand to check the flames
The scenes that ensued during the next hour
almost defy description The officers and
attendants throughout the institution made
haste to unlock the doors Of the various
wards and cells and directed the inmates to
leave the building at once. A portion of
them complied promptly and even rendered
valuable assistance in the rescue of others
Some of the unfortunates we're appalled, with
terror aud became absolutely frantic, utter
ing piercing shreks and cries.
EXCITING SCENE.
Several patients, after being set at liberty
in the grounds, rushed back into the burn.
ing building, to be again borne Struggling
out. In that part Of the building nearest
where the fire originated some of the wards

Now, there is another point to which the
people are not likely to be reconciled, and
that is tho enormous use of money in this

General Butler Depressed.

General B. F. Butler was at Cincinnati
the other day, following in the wake Of MIR.
Greeley. Naturally enough the General
was somewhat blue. When an interview
was sought by some citizens he entered into
conversation with great freedom, and gave
his opinions without the least hesitation -
The Enquirer prints report Of the CONVEX
satlon: from which We extract the follow
ing:
Mr.. c.: How DO things look Eas.2
General Butler: The East ia all right
Vermont and Maine did the thing up we'll.
But we have bad news from the Vest
Things look bad in Ohio, especially The
only trouble is in the West
Mr.. G.. Greeley's visit has had de-
pressing effect, enthusing the Democrats
and Liberals. General Grant ought to be
brought out to counterfeit what Greeley has
DONE
General Butler No; it would be Of no
use. General Grant can't talk, and his
coming would do more harm than good
Mr.. c.: His presence would have an en-
couraging influence to enthuse our side.
General Butler: No; no President was
ever elected who went about making speeches.
General Scott was beaten by Pierce, who
stayed at home and made DO speeches.
Mr.. c.: General Scott could not make
speech.
General Butler: He could make q better
speech than General Grant. He was pref
ty good speaker.
Mr.. c.: General Harrison made speeches.
while Mr.. Van Buren, remained at home.
General Butler: Oh, that was thirty
years ago, and things have changed since
then.
Mr.. c.: General, how are matters in
Pennsylvania
General Butler I think PENNSYLVANIA is
safe [ believe Simon Cameron can man.
age that State to make it safe.
Mr.. c.: 1t is further West vou think
the trouble is?
General Butler Ohio and Iudisna are
the worst. Great doubts exist about Ohio.
and Indiana is considered very unsafe. It
looks as if Hendricks will carry Indiana un.
less strong exertions are made to save it.
