The Baltimore American says that "a curious
theory has just been set forth by 4 Government
official of high position, whose long experience
AS a banker and merchant enables him to
speak with considerable degree of certainty.
lie makes the singular statement that every
financial rcvulsion for the last thirty years has
been preceded by frequent fires in the COM
mcrcial portion Of cities and towns. Not being
q strictly scientific man he has no theory of
spontaneous combustion or the pressure OF too
much ozone or something in the air, but square
ly says it is to be accounted tor By the fact that
business firms becoming embarrassed fluid it
much easier to conceal their financial colnplica-
tons by judicious incendiarism than IN any
other way, and that the money received from
insurance offices furnishes them with capital
for a fresh beginning.

Gen. j. Il. Eiry:

ycrsation held with me by e reporter OF that
paper at the springs.
never held any such conversation with any
body, and if any reporter OF the LynchDurg
Republican held conversation with me, he
concealed his character. There is to my mind
internal evidence 10 the article that the author
was not there, for he mentions as the persons
was pleased to meet some whom did not see,
and one who think was not there, and omlts
some whom was glad to see. lie attributes
to me, also, sentiments did not entertain, and,
therefore, could not have uttered. "
Immediately on the publication of General
Early's letter, a few days since, throwing doubt
upon the credibility of this report we addressed
letter to its author, calling his attention to
the Generals letter. but up to present writing
have heard nothing in reply. Under the cir
cumstances having vouched for the intclll-
rence, high standing and reliability of the gen
tleman who furnished the report, we deem 1t
due to ourselves to state that the reported in
teryiew was written and furnished by the Rev.
Thos. Nelson Conrad, editor Of the Christians
burg Messenger, who in a private letter re-
quested that the manuscript, If not used the
day received, should Je sent back, in order that
it might be published in the next issue of the
Messenger.
We only know Of Mr. Conrad as former
Professor in Blacksburg College, Ia religious
institution at present the editor of leading
Conservative organ 10 the Southwest. and u
local preacher Of one of the leading religious
denominations in the State and we can hardly
realize that he would make the Republican or
any other respectable journal the medium for
detailing an interview which never occurred
But Mr.. Davis emphaticaIly goes back on the
alleged interview, which devoves on Mr.. Con
rad the duty Of substantating his report, or a
confession Of having made the Republican his
victim.

The Postmaster mt st. Louis.

ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 4.--Some Of the city pa
pers are publishing statement made by the
postofice clerks in this city, charging Postmas-
Filley with having made an assessment Of five
per cent on the salaries of all clerks in the Of
fee for FIVE months past for alleged political
purposes and for Office expenses and repair of
the building 1t is asserted that all the letter
carriers also will be assessed.
Mr. Filcy has made no public statement re-
garding the matter, but it is stated he justiics
himself on the ground that assessments are Gus
tomary, and that he has recently incurred a
heavy personal expense in increasing the faclli-
ties Of the Office and of this section of the coun-
try, which has required visits to Washington
and other places, the cost of which he cannot
afford to pay himself.
These improvements be is further alleged to
say, have increased the force of the postofhce
and enhanced the positions IN it, and that the
employees shorld assist in defrayiDg the ez-
penses. The matter Greats good deal of CON-
ment in all circles
