NEW YORK, Jan. IT, The London
Tines Of the 10th ult, announces a great
Ere at Rotterhithe which ragged furiously
two days. The most serious losers by this
disastrous event were BENEFIT & Co., prcpri-
etors of the King and Queen granaries. In
this binding were seven spacious ware
houses ftfil Of grain, and In these the fire
obtained such strong hold it was impossi-
bic to overcome, while the mass Of grain
offered such pressure from the inside that
the huge building, consisting of seven floors,
fell in a vast mass of ruins. One of these
buildings was two hundred feet high and
hundred aud eighty feet wide. These
granaries are amongst the largest buildings
of the kind in the kingdom. An extraordi-
nary scene was presented by the ruins, for
standing in the midst of it is perfect
mountain of grain, far exceeding in height
the loftiest houses in the adjacent vicinity.

The Confederate Cotton Loan.
The London Telegraph says editorially !:
ave feel no surprise at the announcement
from Washington that the British and
American Commission has declined to adj
init the liability of the United States for
debts contracted by the C1onfederates. This
decision, of course, shuts out the claims ad-
vanced by the unfortunate holders Of Con-
federate cotton bonds who have SO long agi-
tated for something like recognition of
the bonds. Nothing else was to be expected.
1t does not at all matter whether the bond
holders convention were right in the sus-
picions which they expressed to Lord Gran
vile, that the rejection of their demands
was a prearranged conclusion. The simple
truth had better be frankly admitted at once.
1t was absurd tosuppose that the Americans
would ever admit of such claim. We
have only to put ourselves in their position
and to suppose an analogous case. II a
Fenian insurrection occurred in Ireland and
managed to maintain itself, largely through
pecuniary aid contributed by American
sympathizers, and if on the suppression of
the revolt those citizens of the United States
who had lent money to its ring-leaders,
asked us to reimburse the amount, we
should receive the application in way that
mere contempt would hardly express. We
should no doubt decline to discuss the mat

THE notable features in the great
Peace jubilee was the absence Of
rowdyism, the good nature Of the in
mensc throng Of people, the few occas
ions for arrest either for drunkenness
or crime. Many strangers have spo-
ken to US Of the orderly, quiet crowd,
expressing great surprise thereqt, and
especially tEat so little drunkenness
was to be seen. We have noticed the
same gratifying features Of our Jubilee,
and no more striking proof Of the cor
rectncss of this view is needed than
the fact that large posse Of police,
mustered into service in apprehension
Of long lengihening Of the rogue's
calendar, were soon discharged, it
being evident that their services were
not required. This state Of things is
highly creditable to the scores of
thousands who daily visited the city,
and to the city itse.f. We are a ''law
and order" people, and for those who
are not We have novel policemen who
know how to attend to their business
faithfully without being brutes or NUS
ances. Well may Henry Ward Beech

THE Grant men are making desperate
effort to carry Indiana. The Cincinnati
Enquirer is informed upon the best au-
thority that Senator Morton, of Indiana,
has already received and expended for po-
litical purposes in the State no less a sum
than S250,000. The Enquirer says:
"a large portion of this has been used
beyond doubt for downright bribery and
corruption. We are equally confident that
a large portion of this has been stolen from
The National Treasury. 1t is the result of
assessments upon ofiee-holders, who IN
turn have made their forced assessments
upon the people. This is the first time in
our history that an effort upon a gigantic
scale has been made to carry an election by
money, and money alone. Yet it is the
sole dependence ofthis corrupt and corrupt
ing administration. What record the
public books win show when they pass into
the hands of the next administration"

in recent issue, having undertaken to give
a little aid to President Grant, by pointing
10 the Inconsistency" and apparent want
of principle" of Charles Sumner and Hor-
ace Greeley, Pittsburg Presbyterian cler-
gyman writes TO the Pittsburg Post show
ing how the President has for the past three
years Kept in office as Consul General at
Alexaudria, Egypt, a man who has con-
stantly prosecuted the Presbyterian mis-
sionaries in Egypt, and against whose con-
Tnuance in office the missionaries most
urgently protested. He shows further that
with this man Butler as their representative,
} American citizens were not protected IN
their rights, and that missionaries were
compelled, in order to secure protection, to
transfer their allegiance from the United
States Government to that of Great Brit
ain.

in speaking of the rufianly attack of Judge

"This is the act of an assassin. In every
part it exhibits cowardice and fear. In the
pretense of vindicating his honor from a
charge of ofice-brokerage, be has exhibited
himself to the world as coward and an
assassin. He is such a man as society
would be justified in Kidding itself of by the
most summary means"

CHARACTeRIsTIC OF Tue mAN


The Charleston Courier tells how Grant
has favored the corruptionists and law
breakers of South Carolina. IL says:
''Nor can Gen. Grant personally escape
from the direct Endorsement of and reSpon-
sibility for these frauds and for this mis-
government in South Carolina. Some of
the Commissioners of Election by whom
these ballot-b boxes were stuffed and the
votes manipulated, were tried and con-
victed, not in the State, but in the
United States Courts. They were
not only convicted, but sentenced. And
yet, one of the very first acts of
Gen. GraRs was to use his power as Presi'
dent to declare an Executive pardon, and
confirm the very frauds which have made
The Republican government in this State .
disgrace wherever known. He thus gave
the broad seal of his license on behalf of
fraud and in protection of the manipulators
of votes and the ballot-box- suffers. Nor
can there be any other conclusion"
While Grant thus protects the Radical
1aw-breakers, he will do nothing for the
poor fellows who have been sent 10 the
Albany penitentiary upon false and trump
ed-up testimony that they were Ku-Klux.
This is precisely what might be expected of
the man.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer of the 9th inst.
says: "We happen % know that one Of
the leading Grant managers here gives up
the State Of Illinois as lost to Grant and
Wilson beyond persdventure. He hopes
to make it up by carrying Indiana, but he
won't. There never has been a more
promising outlook for any party than that
which now exists in Indiana for Greeley
and Brown. Hendricks majority in octo-
Der will not be less than I5,OO0."

"Hon. James Lyons, chairman of the B.
ID. Convention, stated yesterday in the
presence of several Democrats at the Gait
House in Louisville, that he was several
times on the point of declaring the eonven-
ton dissolved; that it was the most chaotic
body he had ever seen, and that be was
thoroughly disguised with the whole thing.

The election for State officers and Con-
gressmen in Maine takes place tomorrow.
The result in Vermont reminds US that it
would be unreasonable to expect much help
from New England in the present effort to
rid the country of New England domination.
With the issues of reconciliation and the
recognition of Southern equality, put for
ward so plainly by Greeley and Brown, we
can but watch curiously the amount of re-
sistance evoked in those far Businesses of
Puritanism. Yet all the indications lead
us to anticipate that Maine win develop
more magnanimity than Vermont has done.
As the Presidential years always colors the
canvass and draws out a full vote, we give
the Maine returns in 1868 as follows:
Republican. T5,oS4
Democratic. 55,43i

ONE by one the roses fall. James
Lyons, Chairman of the Louisville Simon
pures, proves to be Grant man in thin
disguise. A letter from him dated only
three weeks ago, Aug. II, is unearthed
from Brick Pomeroy's Democrat, in which
the untamed Lyons said he "believed the
whole South would vote for Grant, if he
would enforce his maxim, Let US have
peace and now will vote for him against
Horace Greeley" Evidently his only
claim to the title Straightout, rests on his
being 'straightout for Grant.
