DevOnshire eastward to the limit of the
burnt district. That lie building was
saved at all is one of those occurrences we
are accustomed to call 1niracu Gus With
tue hre raging above, below, in the rear
and on one side, with the flames leapinc
far over the roof and a more insidioiIs dam
ger lurking in furnace-like cellar behind,
all hope of long resisting the element was
destroyed. 10 the efforts of those brave
men who, after contest of twelve hours
with the cOn1lagrati0n, took their final
stand at State and DevonsEire streets and
there beat it back, we owe our safety.
They drenched the blazing cellar; they
drove off the flames that attacked our roof
and they steadily fought fire with Il del
uSe.
Dut While we may with reason cOngratu-
late ourselves upon the immunity from
greater misfortune, it is by no means un-
scathed that the Post Building stands as
the barrier between desOlation and safety.
The flames that licked up granite and
brick and iron close at hand, and that
crumhled into sand the solid stone of the
new pOstOfliCe opposite, were not stayed
from reaching past the dividing wall and
eating huge hole in the roof and the
upper story Of the Post Building. BY
prompt action the fire was restrained
within close limits and eXtinguished : but
the COmpOsin9-rOOm was left ruin Of
shattered glass, plaster ard debris of roof
and walls, the editorial and other rooms
on the next floor beneath, and, indeed,
even down TO the lowest story, were
drcnched with water, aud the building
was, during Sunday, not only useless as
publishing office, but Well-nigh uninhabit-
able. Moreover, although the presseOs were
safe and the type had been conveyed to a
place Of security, the disarrangement and
the inevitable mixing, the loss, and tie
destruction through hasty handling, rem
dered the material nearly useless. 1t was
only by strenuous eXertiOn, While walls
were falling and the fire yet cracking close
at hand, that portion of the type was
transferred again to the building, and the
half-sheet paper there set up and printed
for yesterdays issue. 1t appeared, as does
this. from within the guarded confines Of
the burnt district, with the smell of smoke
upon it; and when Our readers consider
that our type toundries have gone, with so
many other industries, and that the means
of rehabilitation are made difficult i'll every
direction, they will perhaps apprecia why,
although the Post Building has falSifed all
the predictions Of Sunday morning, and
still stands, the paper is somewhat cur
tailed in proportions, though uncrippled in
spirit.

colonel =. l.. Fremont.

The refusal Of Colonel Fremont to
serve any longer as President Of the Cape
Fear Agricultural Society, will cause regret
10 all its friends. The marked success of
our Fairs has been, in very great mea-
sure. due to the untiring energy and the
good Judgment with which Colonel Ere
mont has devoted himself to their manage
ment. The Fairs have been Of great
benefit to us in bringing money and people
to our city. Our merchants and the people
generally understand this and duly appre-
ciate the services Of Colonel Fremont
They will not soon forget the cllorts he has
made to promote the prosperity of our
city.
But while we regret the loss of the out
going President, we most cordially and
hopefully welcome the incoming one.
Colonel Allmand McIOy needs no intro
duction at our hands to the people of the
Cape Fear, no matter what their calling
may be. Faithful aud efficient in the
discharge Of every duty, the we'll known
character of the man gives the amplest
assurance that the affairs of the Association
will not suffer in his hands.

THE Northern papers are full of praise
Of General Meade and of the pomp and
marnifcencc Cf Lis funeral. a discreet
silence, however, is maintained in refer
ence to his conduct when in charge of the
State of Georgia during Reconstruction
DAYS. No Federal officer commanded the
respect and confidence Of the Southern
people IN higher degree than did General
Meade prior to his assumption of authority
in that State. His conduct thea, however.
showed that our confidence was misplaced
We make these remarks with reluctance.
1t is not pleasant tospeak :hus Of the dead !;
but a sense of duty to our own people
makes 1t imperative OH us to see that the
records now being made for future hsto-
rians shall speak the truth.

The Boston Gsost-A Narrow Escape.

The appearance Of tile Boston Post
among our exchanges, on yesterday, gave
us the gratifying assurance that our old
friend had escaped the destruction that at
one time seemed inevitable.
The Post is one of the best papers pub
iished i'll the United States, and exhibits in
very marked degree, ability, integrity
and dignity in its editorial conduct, as
well as journalistic enterprise and judg-
ment in its business management. Il is a
paper that people can read with confidence,
no less than with profit and satisfaction
and we tender our sincere congratulations
on its fortunate escape to its editors, pro-
rretors and readers.
The following article from its issue OF
tuesday last, shows what a narrow es-
cape it had. The Post says:
1t is not with the purpose Of parading
our individual trials for commiseration III
the midst of such great misfOrtuneS on
every hand, but as an apology due the
public for the many shortcomings that ap-
peared in our yesterdays issue, in to-day s
ana that will possibly appear for some lit
tie tme longer, that we allude to the eX-
Perlences of the Post in the great fire

The Raleigh Ne,rs makes the following
comments upon the poisoning of the late
Rev. DIR. j. BriatOn Smith, and the subSe-
quent arrest Of his wife and daughter,
therefore. We cheerfully unite with the
Ne,cs in the high testimony it bears to the
character and standing Of the late Dr.
smith, lie was an able man, an effective
preacher, Il useful citizen, aud one of the
most eminently practical and sinc5le
Christians We have ever known.
1t has been our fortune, too, to know
DR.. Smiths family, and we We're iueN-
plessibly shocked TO learn that his wife
and fayorite daughter had been charged
with his murder. We DO Lot hesitate to
express our belief in their perfect innocence.
We presume there is no doubt that the
poison was administered IN the scidlctz
powders. We presume also that it is true
that Mrs. Smith kept the key Cf the closet
in which vial of strychnine was kept :;
but We presume also that it is the common
practice for the mistress of the family to
carry the keys of the house and we pre-
sun.e again that it is the common practice
for the wife or gIown daughter to prepare
the medicines in every house in the land
1t seems to us that great outrage has been
committed upon two defenceless women--
an outrage that we especially regret be-
cause they ale strangers among us. Tie
NrtcS says:
DR.. Smith was Il Northern man, and had
been resident of Raleigh for four or live
Years At the time Of his death, he was
President Of St. Augustine { li"ge (ccl-
orci), and an able and distinguished
Episcopal minister. lie was a gentleman
of rare intellectual endOwments, and Of
the finest conversational Gifis, and had
many friends and admirers III this city.
His Wife and daughter, who are now
charged with bis murder, shared iii the
confidence and esteem which were felt
for the deceased, and no breath of slS-
piciOn had ever been breathed against
them. Their present situation las
excited deep feeling Of pity and
sympathy, and notwithstanding the
circumstances OF suspicion by Which,
under Providence, they have been sur
rounded, they have many friends who
have the utmost confidence i'll their entire
innocence and belie:c they will be tTium-
phautly vindicated when all the evidence IS
brought out.
1t IS a maxim of our law that every man
is Presumed to lie innocent until he i:
shown to be guilty, and when two helpless
women, who have stood high Ill the com
lnunity, whose characters are irrcprOacha-
Bile, are charged with the lIeinous crime oi
poisoning their own father and husband
whatever may be the pri,"" .facjc case
against them, the voice OF humanity bids
us to beN are Of has'y conclusions Of then
guilt, but TO await developments with The
confident hope that the clouds Of diotrus
and suspicion may disappear before th'
light of truth and justice.
