Two Destructive Fires I'm Cleveland Yes
terday.

CLEVELAND, May 5. = About five
O'Clock last evening a fire broke out In
one of the agitators of the Standard Oh
Company's works, situated q mile and
a half southeast Of the city. In a. few
minutes three stills wereon fire and their
contents escaping ran down the hill into
the river, which was soon covered with
burning oil and oil barrels. The
fire department could do little
OF nothing toward extinguishing the
flames and directed their efforts toward
saving such portions of the works as
were near the burning oil. About four
thousand barrels Of distilled and refin-
ed oil burned and the refinery was DANA
ged to the eamOuntOften thousand dollars
total loss about twenty Thousand dol
lars. Abont an hour lster the oil ship
ping house and platform near the ATTAIN
tic and Great Western railroad depot
caught fire and was totally destroyed
together with the contents, consisting
Of between one hundred and fifty and
two hundred barrels Of refined oil. Loss
about ten thousand dollars. It was
with the greatest difficulty that the
bonded warehouse near the burning
sheds, containing two thousand barrels
Of refined oil, were saved.

to the lower lakes, and clear weather
over the New England, Middle and
Southern States, with southerly and
winds. CautiOnary sig
nails are ordered for Milwaukee, Chicago

OTTAWA, CANADA, May 4.-Last
night, Sir John A. Mcdonald, Premier
Of the Dominion Government, and one
Of the Joint-High Commissioners, intro
duced a bill 20 give effect TO certain
clauses in the Treaty Of Washington.
He had originally intended merely to
suspend the fishing laws, which prevent
Americans from fishing in our waters
during the coming season. AS, how
ever, the American Government had
acted on all the claims, the Canadian
Government had decided to follow the
same course. The first clause Of the bill
was to suspend the present fishing laws,
which prohibited Americans from fish
ing in Canadian waters. The second
clause provided that during the exper-
ience Of the treaty, fab and hsh-Oil, with
the exception of such products Of inland
lakes, shall be admitted from the United

THE SOLDIERS AND SAILORS.
Protest Against Grant and the Disinte-
grafton Of the Republican Party.

Grants administration has become so
careless Of the rights of citizens, so cor
rupt IN its efforts to retain power, that
the soldiers of the late war who have
adhered with pertinacity to the fortunes
of the Republican party, have been
forced TO protest against Grants course.
The following significant circular,
issued by General II. A. Barnum,
Commander-in-Chi of the Grand
Army of the Republic, has but recently
been made public:
THE ARLINGTON, WASHINGTON, D. C.,l
April Is, 1872 !
DEAR SIR-The undersigned have
conferred with many representative
soldiers throughout the country,
and find a generate occurrence
of opinion that the soldiers should raise
their voice in protest against the fur
ther progress of the alarming disinte-
grafton of the Republican party which
has taken place under the administra-
ton of General Grant. To effect this,
the names of representative soldiers in
the several States who hold these views
are desired for the purpose of being ap-
pended 10 q call for a Soldiers and
Sailors National Convention TO be held
in New York city in May proximo,
which convention shall formally, by
resolution or otherwise, call upon the
Philadelphia Convention to nominate a
candidate other than Grant, and who
will unite the party and lead it to vic
tory. If You concur in this movement
please to inform US within a few days,
and give us also the names of other rep
resentative veterans in your State which
We may be liberty to use likewise.
Very respectfully,

evident that those who favored the ref
erence to members from the County had
canvassed the county, and knew their
men, He thought it better to leave it to
a disinterested committee.
Mr.. Wilmarth, of Coventry, again urg-
ed a reconsideration, to allow the ques-
ton to be decided by the members from
the country.
Mr. Ormsbee, of Brandon, opposed
the motion to reconsider, on the ground
that it was evident that the members of
the county had already settled the matter
among themselves, and their minds be-
ing already made up, and the committee
being perhaps nearly equally divided, we
should have two reports, and the House
would then have to decide the question
as between the two factions in the
county.
Mr.. Battell, of Ripton, favored the
reference to the members of the county.
Mr.. GrOut, of Newport, arose to cor
rect an erroneous impression as to in
structions by towns The fact was only
one town gave any instructions, and that
town by only a few men, after the meet
ing adjourned.
Mr.. MunsOn, of Manchester, said that
dred men, another may represent a
thousand, and that the voice OF those
two representatives would not be equal.
Mr.. Miles, of Albany, said he believed
it was generally conceded. that the rep
resentative from any town represented
the wishes of majority Of the town,
and that when the representative spoke
he spoke for majority of his town,
whether for one hundred or one thou
sand people AS TO instructions, his
town unanimously instructed him, and
he therefore understood the wishes of
his town.
Mr.. Pingrec of Hartford, opposed re-
consideration, believing that the House
voted understandingly upon this question
yesterday, and thought it far better that
the matter should be left to a committee
of disintcrested members of the House.
Mr.. WiImarth, of Coventry, said he
thought the action of the House. ycster-
day. was taken so hastily that it should
have no effect on the action this morn
ing.
Mr.. Pingree, of Hartford, calling for
count. the vote resulted, ayes 10t, nays
/ 3d. So the motion to reconsider pre-
vailed.
Mr.. Thompson, of Irasburgh, moved
that the bill be referred to the members
from Orleans county.
Mr.. Frisbic, of Poultnry. moved that
the bill and motion TO refer be ordered
to lie on the table; lost.
The bill was then referred to the mem
barS from Orleans county.

South CaroIina Electlon.

in the State election Of South Caro-
lima, on Wednesday, for Governor and
State officers and five Congressman, the
only decided opposition offered by the
Democrats was in the Fourth District,
where Hon. 3. Perry, ex-Proyisional
Governor under Johnson's administra-
ton, was nominated for Congress. It's
thought he is elected, defeating Wallace,
the present representative. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that the regular Republi
can ticket is elected, defeating what is
known as the boilers ticket. with Tom
linson as candidate.
At Charleston everything passed of
exceedingly quiet on election day. No
conclusive returns are in, but the prob
abilities are that Moses and the regular
Republican ticket are elected by a large
majority.

count of an accident that occurred to

the first heat, and Colonel was second.
Time, 308; Colonel won the second
heat, and Maggie was second. Time,
3.07. Colonel won the third heat, and
Pearl was second. Time, three minutes.
On the fourth heat an accident occurred
which is thus described blythe Messenger
Colonel started about half a length
ahead, gained steadily and passed four
lengths ahead, the others keeping neartO-
gether, Just after passing the stand,
Maggie being behind, sprang suddenly to
the left and drew the gig against the
guard rail, throwing Tierney, the driver,
and tilting the gig over against Pearls
gig. which was little to the right and
scarcely ahead.
Tierney clung bravely to the reins and
suffered himself to be drawn and roll
ed over the ground at a fearful rate for
a few rods, but thereby stopping his
horse. Both vehicles were badly smashed
but, as strangely as fortunately, neither
driver was much hurt, nor either horse.
Meanwhile the Colonel kept on, but see
ing the accident, took leisure gait, and
won the heat without record. This, of
course, gave him the race, and it was
not then decided which of the others
was entitled to be second.
