MINERS CABIN BURNT Down. The
various hoisting-works sounded the
alarm of fire between nine and ten
o'clock last night, and immediately
hundreds were rushing up Meadow Val

of the dump OF Meadow Valley No. Z
had taken fire, and was soon reduced to
ashes; but an extensive conhagration
might have resulted, had it not been for
the timely arrival Of the Hose boys. The

He thinks the pilferers were white men.

CONSOLATION IN SMALL LOSES.

Some jealous being in the city of Wash
ington is evidently determined to bolster
up the hopes of the Fusionists as long
as there is loop to hang to. According
to this oracle, who probably finds his
profit in badly serving the Associated
Press, the friends of Pinchback are al
ways apprehensive about something, and
the Fusion lobbyists correspondingIy
jubilant. His latest delusion is the assur-
ance to Messrs. Lawrence, Gibson, Sheri-
dan and others, that '.full privileges of
contest are allowed TO all parties" Per
haps the gentlemen interested in this
little piece Of consolation are not dis
posed to place high value upon these
privileges, Notwithstanding their alleged
completeness.
AS we have explained to suf readers,
there is no longer any political signii-
canoe in the Louisiana case. It is mar
rowed down to questions of law and fact
as they are applicable TO individuals.
The refusal to seat Senator Pinchback
will not strengthen DR.. McMillens chances
in the least particular. It will be seen as
Senator Morton said, he could |noe posi-.
bly, derive any right to seat in the Senate
from the bogus Legislature which met in
Odd Fellows Hall. The Fusionists are
therefore out of the Senatorial fghs. and

all those on board may not have been
pirates But she was not that The highest
crime that could be imputed to her is
smuggling. This is not punishable with
death. But Captain Fry and his asso-
ciates we're ruthlessly led to the dead wall
and massacred, and the United States is
looking into the matter. While Secretary
Fish and Attorney General Williams are
satisfying their legal doubts, Secretary
Robertson is increasing the tonnage and
weight of metal in West India waters.
The demand for the surrender of the
Virginius and the prisoners, can not be
complied with. Right or wrong the brave
sons of America will defend the latter. If
Spain wants them let her come and take
them. She has shed blood enough. AS
Great Britain instructed King Bomba, Of
Naples, that he could not amuse himself
by numbering his unhappy subjects for the
very slight offense of hating him, let our
government inform Spain that contempt
for her priest ridden government is not
sufficient passport to death in any part of
the world, outside of her own dominions.
AS for the salute to our flag, we don't
care q straw about it. no honor could

America his position to even suggest
concession to the alleged demand OF the
brutal, ignorant, bigoted. cruel Spaniard.

The British Steamship Texas Seized.

At very early hour, yesterday morning,
the steamship Texas was ibeled by Henry
M. C. Smith, captain of the pilot boat John
K. Wilder, and by other pilots OF Savannah
Georgia.
The steamship Texas, on the ninth in
slant, grounded on a bar near Tybee light
house, off Cape Royal. She hoisted signals
Of distress, and was succored by the parties
who now libel her. Libelants claim sal
wage to the amount of one-tenth of the
value of the vessel and cargo, alleging that
the vessel would have gone to pieces had it
not have been for their assistance. The
vessel is valued at $500 900, and the cargo at
$5O0c00. The salvage claim, therefore,
foets up $4,000.
Whether or not so enormous claim for
assisting foreign vessel off q most dan
gerous portion of our seahoard will be sus-
tanned remains to be seen. At any rate the
vessel is now under seizure. her cargo being
guarded by two officers of the United States
District Court, and the vessel herself being
in charge of keeper.
We understand that the owners, through
their agents here, have expressed a willing
ness to settle the matter by paying $500.

THE SPANISH FURRY.

Bohemians inform us that Spain de-
mands the return Of the Virginius on the
ground that Secretary Fish has admitted
that she was not entitled to carry the flag
of our country. In the meantime Secre-
tary Robson is marshahng his war ships
at Key West, and as Secretary Fish has
made no such admission :, that ascribed
to him, we have no idea the Virginius will
be given up until Spain can restore to us
our murdered citizens. We do not rest
our case upon the point whether the Vir-
ginius had the right to carry the American
flag or not. We deny to Spain or to any
foreign nation the right to police the high
seas in our behalf and hang all those who
may be even engaged in smuggling under
the protection of our flag. The question
is one solely between the United States
and those on board the Virginius. They
had raised the American flag. Some of
them were bona fide citizens. 1t would
be manners in Spain to wait until we re-
pudiated their pretensions before she be-
gan the work of assassination. we can
not admit the right Of the Spaniards to
hang and shoo people before she knows
they deserve such treatment. SO 1t
does not make much difference what
nation the vnginius belonged to. She
carried American citizens on board who
had never committed any ofense against
Spain, certainly none deserving of death,
even if they had been all Burriel claimed
they were. But they were taken on ~
high seas, dragged to the Cuban shores
and shot to death at Santiago. Even
though the Virginius were pirate ship,

RESUMPTION.

With almost unprecedented heavy re.
ceipts of cotton and a general revival of
business, our banks have decided at last
to resume payment to their depos:tors.
Of course, the event created no excite
ment, nor, so far as we can learn. was
there any great demand for currency to
send West or elsewhere. Nine-tenths of
the business of the country is done through
the medium Of bank checks, but o small
proportion Of which are paid osx the
counter to the original holders. As a
general thing, therefore, banks are only
required to be prepared to settle balances
with other institutions to- keep in line.
If determined effort had been made
sixty days ago to supply check holders
with such limited sums in currency as
they actually needed it would no doubt
have succeeded, and the city would have
been to-day much better off than it is.
Let US, however, be thankful that resump-
ton has been achieved at last, and Chart.
ably presume that the officers Of our
banks erred, if at all, through ignorance
rather than desire to take advantage of
their positions as custodians of nearly
all the circulating medium in the city.
