Flood Of Fire.

Last Saturday evening a FIRE broke out
in Boston, which, after raging for fifteen
hours, destroyed nesrly the entise bust
ness portion of the city. The losses by
this terrible food of fire is estimated at
fully one hundred million dollars. The
insurance companies suffer greatly. The
Hartford to the amount of seven hundred
and fifty thousand, the Aetna five hun
dred thousand, and the ether companies
in proportion. Most IF them will pay
promptly, while some must 60 down in
the gen raj wreck. Aid is pouring in
from every quarter. 1t is not known
how the fire originated, but it began in
the building occupied by Tibbitts, Bald>
win, d Co. dealers in dry goods, corner
Of Summer and Kingston streets, from
whenc9 it spread in all directions. So
intense was the heat that granite and
iron buildings literally melted or crum-
bied TO pieces The shoe and leather
dealers suffered the most
On the same day another great fire
broke out in the city Of London, Eng
land, which also destroyed millions of
prO0ertV.

An Effort to Put a Colored Orator
in the Cabinet

WAsHINGToN, November THE great
sensation of to day is the organized and
earnest movement on foot to have John
NJ Lancston (colored) appointed to the
position Of Attorney General in Grants
Cabinet it has been reported for some.
time that Attorney General Williams,
the present incumbent, would shortly
resign in order to enter upon lucrative
law practice before the Board Of Arbit-a-
ton under the Geneva award bat Lang
ston does not rest his clailns upon the
accident Of Williams resigning He de-
mands tie Cabinet position due the COL
ored race for the share they have had in
electing Grant as he selects the position
of Attorney General, as he stated, be-
cause it is the line of his profession, and
best suited to his tastes Langston has
been interviewed several times to day,
and, on the last occasion, spoke of the
subject with an earnestness that showed
that he is resolved to make tins o test
question He takes much credit to him
self for his efforts in the canvass, and his
influence in dc aging the publication OF
Mr. Summers letter which he thinks
would have been irresistible in its inhu-
ence on the blacks had it appeared ear
lier in the campaign Langston's pre-
tentions are urged by Fred. Douglass
and other colored men, and by number
Of prominent white Republicans iu the
South The Washington Chronicle of
this morning has long article specially
culogisiic Of Langsten, and winding up
with the significant words: lie is to-
day the ables- and most active rcpresen-
tative of his race, and stands towards
hem in position WIZ re any recognition
OF him would be considered as It cogni-
ton of his people" The Washington
Star, an administration paper, also refers
to his effort rather Eyorably than Others
wise. Langston, in conversation to day
said the Chronicle article was inspired
By Senator Harlan, who was on the most
intimate terms with the President The
determination of Langston's friends IN
this question Of race must be met There
is a good deal Of curiosity felt by the
public here to see what General Grant
will do about it.

The Rlack claimant

Now, that the negro has learned his
great power he will prove TO be 4 big
troublesome elephant in future elections.
The colored man will be shrewd enough
to learn where bis votink strength pre-
dominates and he wi demand at ali
such places fair division of the Offices
This is natural and reasonable IF the
negro, by his vote, gives good fat Offices
to the cGrpet~bagger they will commence
inquiring why not give the Offices to
their own race2 Barbour Lewis, Lacey
Il Co, IN their future aspirations and
grab for Office will find a formidable
competition in the colOred population
who know their strength at the ballot-
box, and are determined to use 1t here
after in advancing themselves. In the
canvass for municipal officers twelve
months from now, the negroes will pre-
sent candidates for nearly all the Offices.
In August, 1874, there will be IN election
for all the county offices, and the colored
people will present candidates for Sheriff,
Clerks, and other Offices They are
weary Of being made "the hewers of
wood and drawers of water" for those
who care nothing for them after securing
their vote This is a question that seri-
ously concerns the people of this coun-
try, and Will occasion much trouble IN
future elections Already the colored
man is demanding a place in Grants
cabinet. John NJ, LangstOn, a gentleman
of color, who made an able speech in
this city two years ago, has asked for the
position of Attorney~General, and he is
backed by numerous influential friends
The colored race Is determined to be
recognized The Admins ration will be
greatly embarrassed by Laugston's aspire
atoms Grant cannot go back on the
negro, as be has received the ELECTORAL
vote of several States through the power
of the colored man, and many Radicals
have been elected to Congress by the
same power. Ldng5tou stumped the,cOun
try for Grant, and kept the negroes from
following SumneT-sO much for personal
service. The popular majority for Grant
was given him by SambO, If Sambo is
to do the heavy voting he must have his
reward But there is one difficulty In
the way. Mr.. Langston has maroon>
colored skin. The blood of the accursed
white man tai ats his veins. If he is
given cabinet appointment the compl-
ment will be divided between the Caucas-
ian and the African. 1t is to be remarked
that heretofore, while the sable Congo
has done the voting, the shrewd, Yankee
lied negroes have secured the plums-

A Model Hash Provider.

Saturday morning, says the AUdlanche
a man giving his name as Waggoner, arr
rived at Fulton Tenn, and proceeding to
a boarding ouse kept by a man narned
John Bell, ordered his breakfast. While
eating the meal, WagGoner, strange to
say, made a complaint concerning the
quality of the food set before him This
was repeated at dinner to the mingled
disgust and surprise of Mr. Bell, who re-
mOnstrated with this daring spirit who
rebelled against the style of his cuisine
At the supper table Waggoner had again
the temeritY to assail the quality of the
hash set before him This was too much
and after a few words, Mr. Bell, took
down his little shotgun, and turning the
muZzle toward his bOarder who would
not be satisfied, pulled the trigger, and
discharged a handful of buckshoE into
his tenement of clay. With a grOan
WaggOner fell to the floor, dead man,
and fearful warning to all boarding
house hash eaters who might desire to
remark concerning the quality of proven
der offered. After satisfying himself that
his boarder was in a condition that for
babe his making any more complaints,
Bell turned and walked leisurely down
to the river, with the intention of making
his escape on the steamer Undine, which
was lying ut the bank Just as he was
stepping on the boat he was halted by a
deputy sheriff, who arrested and convey
ed him to the lookup. An inquest was
held upon WaggOner and a verdict re-
turned in accordance with the facts as
stated above.

The Asiatic cholera is steadily advanc

Hungary and Bohemia, through Pesth,
Prague, and Vienna, it has held its desc
lating course, and from Germany to
France, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands,
Great Britain, and thence across the sea
by ship to our own sho-e, its progress
seems inevitable, unless, indeed, it is
checked by the frosts of winter After
the intiction of four years more of the
plague of Grantism, we have grown a
little callous about any other plaques, but
nevertheless it would be we'll for our
cities to adopt exceptionally stringent

next year, we trust it will be more eFectu
