Suffer by Thames Of Memphis
Companies Interested

SOUTH BEND, IND, August 24.-At
four o'clock this morning fire was dis
covered in the paintrooms of the wagon
mapufactOry OF the Studebaker Broth
ers, resulting in a loss of $500, 900. These
works were erected Immediately after
the burning of their smaller shops on
June IL, 1872, when they lost about
$4,000. The flames spread rapidly, and
owing to the great size OF the buildings
the fire department was unable to get
the fire under immediate control, but
turned their attention to the building
containing the main part of the ma
chineIy, which was all removed and
saved from damage by water. The heat
was so intense that the Lake Shore and
Michigan Southern freight and passen-
ger depots were In danger, and trains
were delayed in passing for four hours.
There was no air stirring and the flames
shot up straight in the air, so that many
buildings in the immediate vicinity
were saved. Floating cinders fell over
a mile away. The works contained up
ward of two thousand finished wagons,
and vast quantities Of stock in process
of manufacture, ready for Shipping, and
cars from the c., B. and Q. r. R., /. G.
r. r., P. F. w. and G. r. R., c., r, l.
and c. r. R., and 1. 2. and G. r. r.

Of the way only just in time to save
them from burning. The loss in detail,
as near as can be approximately esti-
mated, ia, on the building, Sl20,0
stock in process Of manufacture, $50, 900;
finished wagons, 100000, machinery,
$1,000; iron and fixtures, 1000; total,

under the loss. The following insur-
ance companies had policies:

New York Worldl

The platform adopted at Nashville by
the Tennessee Democratic State con-
vention on Wednesday, is at once the
most compact and the most cOmpre-
hensive political document that has
come from q southern State since the
close of the civil war. Taken as a whole,
it is almost the first clear and unmis-
taxable announcement that the south
ern people are fast emerging from the
half-despairing, half-cynical apathy in
regard TO questions Of national policy
which so widely prevailed among them
during the darker periods Of reconstruc-
ton and virtual deprival of representa-
ton in congress, and that the southern
States are coming forward to assume
their Just share Of the benefits and re-
sponsibilities Of the national govern
ment. Taken in its several parts, and
with the exception Of the hali-dOzen
lines which incorporate the dead heresy
OF Pendletonism, the Tennessee plat
form is as sound political creed as the
gear has produced. With this one ex-
ception, it is thoroughly Democratic.
1t closes every door in the face OF
expediency and compromise, and
places the Democrats of Tennes-
see firmly and safely upon the
principles which cannot fail Of
a glorious triumph in 1875. The inter-
ests of Tennessee, in common with the
interests of other southern and western
States, have suffered too grievously by
the Republican theory and practice of
protection and monopoly for the repre-
sentative men Of Tennessee to lend
lukewarm adherence to the saving issue
of free trade. Aud accordingly the
platform of the Tennessee Democrats
puts forth no halting or uncertain utter
ance ON this subject. They oppose i'm
partially all monopolies, rings and COM
binations for the oppression of the peo-
pie, and demand the repeal of the pres
ent oppressive tariff, and its substitution
by q tariff code framed solely for the
collection of revenue in accordance with
the traditions OF the Democratic party
and the prsctice Of all enlightened gov
ernments. In favor Of home rule,
the Democrats of Tennessee are, and
with good cause, equally pronounced.
They demand a strict construction
of the constitution, and insist that no
power shall be exercised by the general
government that is not plainly conferred
upon it by the constitution, or clearly
implied as necessary for the exercise OF
the powers and the performance of the
duties imposed upon it by the constitu-
ton. They condemn the civil rights
bill as wanton, unnecessary, and mis-
chievous violation of the principle of
home rule, and an infringement OF the
constitution. To justify this demand
for home rule they show their compe-
tence to manage the local affairs of the
State by pledging themselves to econ
omy and efficiency in the State govern
ment; by urging the adoption Of such
reforms in the State laws as will render
their execution speedy, just and certain;
and by engaging to preserve untarnished
the credit and honor of the State by
paying its just debts and obligations.

Knoxville Press and Hersld.l
The members of the convention were
not examined about Cheathamism or
Johnsonisnl, and mingled together free
ly in their consultations, without any
consideration of lhe contest of 1872, as
affecting political standing one way or
the other. Questions Of State policy
and national and social concern engaged
their thoughts while the claims of as
pirsnts to the governorship were ami
cably discussed with reference to qualih-
cation, and especially with reference to
fitness for uniting the party in solid col
umn, without regard to any differences,
personal or political, growing out Of the
war. Judge Porter, whose personal his
tory is noticed elsewhere in this paper
is a gentleman Of highest tone, of fine
capacity, eminently Just in his charac-
ter, and of liberal cast Of mind. Dur
ing the canvass of 1872 he was upon the
bench, as circuit judge, and took no act
i've part in the controversy. Though
the delegations from East Tennessee
had not generally voted for him before
the final ballot, they most cheerfully
scquiesced in the conclusion, and we
are confident the Democrats and Con-
servatives of East Tennessee will give
him a prompt, cordial and undivided
support, uniting with their brethren
throughout the State 70 secure Novem-
ber's brilliant victory.
