dwelling house of Mr.. John w. Coalc, near
Chenille, took fire from spark from the
chimney, and before the flames were cxtin-
guished the roof ard the upper part of the
house were consumed The loss, which was
principally on the building itself, will amount
to about $500, on which there is no insurance

risburg, by Fish Commissioner Worrall.-
The fish were from one to two inches long

GIVING HIM A CHARACTER. - Ex-Vice
President Coliax, on leaving his late situation,
has received from "Boss" Grant letter ofrec-
ommendation, in case he should apply for
another place. The President says he is
satisfied of his integrity, patriotism and free
dom from the charges imputed" The docu-
ment will command about as much respect as
the certificates Of patent medicines or the
signatures TO u petition for appointment to
Office.
Oakcs Ames has also been endorsed by his
people at home, and Brooks proposes to vim
dictate himself so that the people of the
United States and the Credit Mobilicr chcrubs
will soon look upon the recent investigations
az the phantasms of a distorted Imagination.

The Attorney General is greatly annoyed at the cond
ton of political affairs in Mississippi, although he does
not assume 10 judge between the Senator Ames party
on the one side and the present State Government and
Senator Acorn the other He fears that the conflict
between the Constitution and the biennial election and
the State law the annual election will have serious
results aud that finally IL will end in two governments,
between which the General Government under the Con-
.,itutIon will have TO choose which, II either,
shall be recognized. He has thus far had no
official information from the State, and all he
knows OF the conflicts there he has gathered
from tho newspapers He thinks 1t will be another
Louisiana muddle and that before long he will be APP
eoed 10 by ono side or the other ADJUST matters with
which he has nothing do. In the Intercourse OF the
General Government with the states, IL Is necessary 10

bankers. began to draw them for supplies
ing the crops With the first signs OF stringency in the
money market the drafts greatly increased until the
demand could longer be met In an interview with
aTRIBUEE reporter Mr. Chick said that the failure

Stock and Cold Exchanges, both members OF the firm
belonging to the latter and to the former They had
stock contracts outstanding, however. They would

take care OF other peoples money again
