FIRE. At quarter past 3 o'clock, yes
terday morning, fire was discovered on
the first floor of the building at tho cor
ner of King and Hudson streets, used
as q grocery by A. Mcyer& Co. AS soon
as possible, the engines in the district
repaired to the locality and got to work.
The flames had got such headway, how.
ever, that the stock was badly injured,
and together with the water thrown on
it, was completely ruined. There was
an insurance on it of 81, 900 in the Ger
man Mutual Insurance Company of this
city, which will probably covor tho loss.
The building belongs to the estate of
Oppenheim, and was damaged to tho
extent of about $500. The origin of the
fire is unknown.-Ch Charleston Courier.

AUTHORIZATIONS

The gathering of anti-conventionS Straight
outs, now holding forth at Louisville,
should give pause to our ''original, uncon-
ditionap Greeley men. These Bourbon
boilers are but putting in force their ''inde
pendent" individual right to reject the voice
of their party, and Of party law and order,
like our own Tennessee independents /"
Evidently this anti-convention foil is double
edged. 1t cuts both ways, and is most
likely TO hurt him who handles it. Sup
pose our Louisville friends should succeed
in their darling scheme for dividing the
Democracy. Is it not plain enough that
their success would be Greeley's defeat and
the triumph of Radicalism? Equally plain
is the ugly tendency of our Tennessee indie
pendent anti-conventionists; they would
land us in the arms of Radicalism.
We publish in full the remarkable letter
of Chs's O'Conor, as containing food fol-
serious thought, and presenting the ultl-
mate aims for which all Democrats are
striving; though we differ with the dis
tinguished writer as to their immediate prac
ticalness, and think we shall best hasten
their accomplishment by the support of
Greeley in the present contest.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Mr.. Hibler of Ky.,'apologized to the con-
yention for the proposition of Mr.. Val
landingham at the morning session to ad-
iourn to Nov. 20. Mr.. V. was so strong a
Democratic, that on misapprehending Mr..
O'Conor's letter as meaning to dictate a
platform to the convention and verging to-
ward Greeley, he had, under momentary
impulse, vented his resentment in the man
ner alluded to.
Mr.. Williams OF Pa, suggested that del
egste Burr OF New jersey, be called on to
entertain the convention with a speech
while waiting for reports of committees.
Mr.. Burr spoke at length, saying this was
the largest "side-show" he had ever seen.
awe have heard about this wood-chopper of
Chappaqua. Iaughter.( While he is an
old friend of mine in other matters, have
never agreed with him on political oues-
tons. My relations with him have always
been kindly. When they bring this wood
chopper, though friend of mine, and allow
him to cut down the tree of Democracy,
must enter my protest. In the language of
the old song, 'Woodman, spare that tree.' +"
[ The whole ballad is here telegraphed.1
With such a standard bearer as The
gentlemen whose letter was read here in the

successful in this campaign. Applause. !
That distinguished man refused the nomi-
nation of this conyantion after committing
to us his bsart and brain. He gives
among other reasons for that refusal that he
is disinclined to be bound by the resolutions
Of convention, and no wonder that he
does lose respect for the resolutions of
conventions; but feel it in my heart that
the patriotism which is in his heart will not
allow him to decline your nomination.
lGreat applause.
A delegate-I move that Col. Blanton
Duncan, of Kentucky, be elected by the
Convention as an honorary member and
given seat in it, and also that he be the
first Vice-President of the Convention.
Adopted.
Mr.. Van Arnon, from the Committee on
Credentials, asked for further time, until
tomorrow mornings session. Allowed.
The Committee on Permanent Organi-
zation reported for President Judge Jas.

Presidents is Silas F. Kendrick, of Tennes-

headed man, large, portly, and well pre-
served, a fine specimen of the old fashion,

N1obs at Lyons and Narbonne


PARIS, Sept. 3.-There is collision at
Lyons between the municipal and national
authorities, which causes much feeling and
excitement. The City Council had remoy-
ed certain ecclesiastical teachers from the
schools. The National Government inter-
fered and reinstated them. The citizens
several times collected in large numbers ID
the streets to protest against the restoration
of the teachers. The government was at
last obliged to call on the military to dis
perss the gatherings and prevent their re-
currence.

Canterbury Cathedral ON Fire


. LONDON, Sept. 3.-The eastern end OF
the roof of the great Cathedral at Canter-
bury was badly burned this morning. 1t
caught over the shrine of Bishop Beckett
by upsetting brazier used by the workmen
in repairing the lead roofing. There was
great excitement, and the whole garrison
turned out to assist the fremen. There
was great delay in checking the flames
owing to scarcity of water. The fire was
extinguished after destroying hundred
and fifty feet ofthe roof. There was much
damage by water, but most of the Valu'
ables were removed.
3 P. M.-The shrine Of Thomas A.
Beckett has not been injured. The Mosaic
pavement of the Cathedral is covered with
melted lead which dropped from the burn
ing roof. The altar was deluged WITH
water. The interior of the ediice is hlled
with smoke. The Cathedral is insured.
has been customary during the past three
hundred years to hold religious services II

broken by the fire as services were helo
after the suppression of the flames.

COTTON.
Ravages of the caterpillar.

MONTGOMERY, ALA, Sept. 3.-The cat
erpilars in Alabama have stripped cotton
fields as bare as frost. Some cotton fields
are said to be so overrun that the worm
could be laded up in furrow by the hand
full. Such multitudes caused terrible alarm
at first, because of their eating half grown
bolls, but the things are quieter now and
the planters are more hopeful. They still
insist that without high prices the crop will
not pay the cost of producing. The esti-
mated crop is ten per cent. below the yield
of last year.

letter of OConor has greatly strengthened

with such respect and affection as to move

his firm declination. They feel that with
his letter as platform, himself as the can

such an appeal to the Democracy of the
country as viii turn the masses from the

AKu.KIux story Spoiled

LITTLE Rock, Sept. 9.-News from
Pope county confirms the killing of County
Clerk Hickox. Reliable statements say
the killing was done by Harry Pointer in
self-defense; that as Dodson Williams and
Hickox passed out of town, they went by
Pointers shop, blacksmith, and fired on
him. Pointer returned the fire, killing
Hickox. He afterwards surrendered him
self to the authorities. This statement is
corroborated by witnesses and it is given
out this evening that the Government will

tinguished men. 1t is stated that with such
nominations, such strong German Demo
cratic papers as the Cincinnati VoEksfre1uad,
St. Louis Anzeiger des Westerns, and Phil
adelphia Denokrat viii support the ticket.
The leaders of this movement regard the
convention so far as great success. The
convention is remarkable for having q
large number of old men as delegates, and
for the very small extent OF whisky drink
ing as compared with such conventions
usually. Phrenologically and physically
speaking it is not often that such body
gets together as nominating convention.

New York state Politics.

NEW YORK, Sept. 3.-The Tribune says
the nominations for Governor and Lieu
tenant Governor are conce1ed to the Dem
ocrats by the Liberals. A fresh effort will
be made to induce Judge Church to take
the nomination. The Sun urges Seymour's
nomination as the only way to insure sue
cess. 1t is thought the Congressman at
large will be conceded to the Liberals.
VIM. Dorsheimer, of Buffalo, is the most
prominent named for it.

the public councils which gave birth to our
