FIsEs IN THE WooDs.-From hume
rous suburban localities comes intelli-
gence of heavy fires in the woods, threat
ening serious injury to property. The
Stcubcnville Gazette of Saturday, says Il
spark from a locomotive set fire to the
dry grass, along the line of the Panhan-
die road, short distance west of Collier
Station, West Va, and afterward COM
municated with the woods. The wind
was blowing very hard at the time, and
in few minutes the whole hillside be-
tween Collier and the Cove was one sheet
of flame. Considerable loss is reported
from damage to fences and grain along
the route swept over by the fire. One
man it is said has had about two hundl ed
and fifty shocks of corn destroyed, besides
loss by the burning of his fences. The
fire burned at fearful rate, owing to the
high wind, and could not be checked in
its progress rs long as there was any
thing left upon which the flames could
prey. The light of the burning woods
could be seen plainly in Stcubcnville, at
night, and the air WAS filled with the
scent of burning leaves and timber. Our
dispatches bring the news Of raging fires
in the woods, all over the country, with
a great loss of property.

Strong Case Against DureII-DiscOur-
aging Outlook i'm the State.

FROM tIic cincinnati GaLeltt.
WASHINGTON. Jan. I5.-Judge VII
son and Mr. Eldridge Of the Judiciary
Committee, who spent the recess in
New Orleans taking testimony regard
ing Judge Durell, are busy preparing
1t, and viii place it before the full COM
mittee In a short time. The evidence
shows a very unpromising case for Du-
rell, and that the days of his usefulness
are about ended. Among the impor-
tant points of the testimony are the
following in regard to 1.-The midnight
order" as it is termed. issued by Du-
rell, by which the Mechanics Institute,
the place Of meeting OF the Legislature,
was seized. 1t came out that the order
was issued on Durell's motion, and
without the knowledge Of either of the
attorneys acting IN the matter. In
other words Durell made a motion for
this order for himself as Judge, and in
the latter capacity issued it. 1t also
appeared that Durel made two orders
in regard to one of his IA
miliar friends for the purpose of
throwing the chief business of bankrupt
cases into his hands. The first order
was one directing that In all bankrupt
cases this special friend named Norton
should be assignee, except where the
creditors appointed some other person.
Lest this appointment Of some other
persons should after time take the
business out of Norton's hands, it was
further provided IN the order that ne |
should act as co-assignee IN all this lat |
ter class of cases. When the trouble |
arose about excessive fees, Durell made |
another order TO the effect that no COM |
plant about fees or papers looking 20 !
securing = remedy iof excessive fees, |
should be filed, unless fifty dollars were
first deposited. This Of course greatly |
lessened the formal complaints about
the rates fixed by Norton. There is
much evidence tending to connect Du-
Feii with Eoplenie excess, aad on this /
the case for Impeachment viii mainly
rest.
The committee collected much testi-
nony from persons representing all fac
tions and al classes Of tue people, for
the purpose of setting forth the real
condition Of affairs in Louisiana. The
committee is greatly disheartened at
the prospects. Property OF all kinds
i rapidly deteriorating. Within two
yso,.s conn;rz property has declined
from 50 to IS per cent, and property |
in New Orleans from so to 80. The J
taxes virtually amount 70 eopnscatioa.
Pronerty that would not sell for $1,000
is assessed at $4,000. and property
renting in the city at 81 200 Is assessed
for $500. While the sub-commissiop
docs not express its opinion in advance
of reporting to the full committee, II
is quite evident from the character OF
The testimony collected that Durell wlii

resigning.

SMALL favors thankfully received.
The people of Texas are to be congrat
ulated that Grant and his Attorney
Williams permits them to have their
own State government, and that the
ballot box is not to be superseded by
Federal bayonets. The principle, how
ever, seems to be the same as in the
Louisiana case; that is to say, Radi-
cal government cannot be displaced in
any State without the consent Of the
Washington Tycoon. In Louisiana he
refused his consent; in Texas he grants
it. Practically the constitution no
longer guarantees US republican form
of government. Vote as we may, the
result depends on the whim of the
Washington magnates. Sometimes he
respects the verdict of the people, and
sometimes he don't. Sometimes he
sustains the courts, and sometimes he
don't. That's all

Russian Reception OF a Royal Bride

sEOCtAss
New YORK, Jan. I7.--From foreign files
received to-day are clipped the following:
On Sunday, the 4th inst, the Duke Of
Edinburg arrived at st. Petersburg in good
health and in capital spirits. About an
hour previously the imperial carriage and
sledges arrived at the railway station to re-
ceive him, and presently a guard of honor
with band at its head and the Russian
eagle displayed, was drawn up on the plat
form. Soon afterwards the Grand Duke
Alexis appeared and saluting the guard
with a hearty s-gOOd-mOrning, soldiers"
was received with stentOrian response.
Next came the Grand Duke Nicholas who
gave and received the same greeting, and it
now only remained for the Emperor to ar
rive which he did few minutes after two,
accompanied by a brilliant staff amongst
whom was the British Ambassador. As
soon as the train had entered the station
the Duke of Edinburg jumped out and ad-
vanced to the Emperor who gave him a
most afiectionate welcome, as did also the
Grand Dukes, the band meanwhile playing
''GOd Save the Queen" The chief
thoroughfares were gaily decorated with
flags. When the Duke arrived at the win
ter palace he was received by the Empress
and Princess Marie, together with the i'm

THE CHIEF JUSTICEsHIP.
From the Cincinnati Commercial.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.-There are
weighty reasons for believing that the
President has determined to select his
next candidate for Chief Justice from
the Northwest, and that he is consider
ing the claims Of Dillon, of Iowa; Dix
on, of Wisconsin; Drummond, of Hi
nois, and Waite, of Ohio, with the
chances in Dillon's favor. Dillon is
Judge of the Eighth United States Cir
cult, which includes the States Of Min
nesota, Iowa, Missouri, Kansas, Ne
braska, and Arkansas. When Grant
was in St. Louis recently his attention
ton was called to Dillon's fit
ness for the place, and when he
returned to Washington he expressed
himself warmly in favor Of Dillon In
case Williams should be rejected.
Judge Dillon has been on the Bench as
Risi prius Judge. a member of the Su-
States Circuit Judge for the last four
teen years without intermission. He is
earnestly supported by the Senators
from the States included IN his Circuit,
and has been urged upon the President
by Senator Carpenter, while of course
Belknap has not allowed the interests of
Iowa to suffer at his hands. Dillon is
the author Of many legal works, and is
universally recognized IS one of the
highest type of jurists and a gentle
man. He is a Republican.

circulated this as a well-ascertained
fact, though Senator Conkling has

From the Knoxville Press aCd Herald, Jan. 16.
Wandering alone, without friend or shell

Bulls Gap. Behind her, in the distance,
wOs the approaching mail train. The tres
tie was narrow, being but the width be-
tween the two tracks, and about sixty feet
long. Once upon il, the walker must get
quickly to the other end, as 4 train might
rush Ca l. rom either direction, and no re-
course would be left to that hUxlan being
other than certain death, save that a self

WE do not know the exact compost
ton of the Cheap Transportation Con-
vention which has just closed its ses-
SIGN at Washington. From the place
selected for the meeting, it Is fair to
infer that most of its members looked
to Congressional action as the panacea
for all railroad Ills. Yet their resolu-
tons give prominence to competition
as the element necessary to complete
ly carry out reform, . and look to the
respective States for laws prohibiting
unjust and excessive determinations,
etc. The thing they seem to expect
from Congress is not the regulation of
existing lines, but the building of new
roads to be ran by government. They
also urge the improvement Of water
routes.

is thought likely to be appointed Chief
Justice. The bar is especially pleased.
Intelligence from all the principal places in
the State is to the effect that the announce
ment has created great interest among at

tifying to his ability and fitness for the pO-

life, was elected Judge Of this district for
four successive terms, then became Chief
Justice Of the Supreme Court of the State,
and was serving as such when appointed
United States Circuit Judge. His charac-
ter is spOtlesS. He has made a national
