NASHVILLE, March l1.-Republics are
ungrateful, we are told; and 50 is the Re
publican party. If anything, the party is
worse than any republic OF which history
gives an account. As we write this, the
compact fora of W. +. Prosser is before
our minds eye, as it were. PrOsser is q
party man; he is a Republican clear 10 the
marrow in his bones. lie fought on the
Union side during the war. He made
good soldier. Some years after the IN
pieasantness was over, he become post
master here. lie made good postmaster.
Under his administration the mail ar
rangcments were all right and nobody
grumbled because they DID not get their
letters. There was no cause Of complaint
against him so far as this witness knows.
In the last campaign PrOsser could have
had the nomination Tor Congress had be
wanted it. The Republican convention
held over the Freedman's Bank and com
posed mostly of freedmen, wanted to give
it 10 him. He declined, and ii. III. Harrison
was nominated and elected. Prosser could
have had it rs well as not, but he preferred
to hold the pOstmasterShip here and work
for the party. lie is the controlling spirit
here in a Republican paper called the Bud
ieiil, and rimOr has il that he foOts the
balance whenever that paper fails to pay
expenses. Considering all these things.

PANAMA.
Great Fire In the Isfhmus CIty-Loss,
SI,0OO,OOO.

6IsOOO,OOO.
NEW YORK, March 15.-The Panama
steamer brings a detailed account of the
great fire at Panama, Feb. Q, last. The
flames originated in 4 straw hat store, al
most directly in front of the private en-
trance to the Grand Hotel. The building
in which the fire occurred was soon in
flames, leaving the inmates in the second
and third stories only time to escape with
what they had on. The flames soon COM
municated to the Grand Hotel, spacious
building of many stories, and occupying a
whole block. The basement was occupied
by valuable retail and commission stores.
A part of the building had been set apart as
a residence for the Bishop of Panama, a
Catholic seminary for young priests, and
rooms for members of the clergy connect
ed with the Episcopal government Of the
diocese.
The bishop lost everything; so lid the
priests who assisted him in his duties, and
many Of those in the hotel had a narrow
escape with their lives, so sudden was the
alarm and so rapid the progress Of the
flames. The stair-cases were soon in
flames, and the only way of escape was by
ladders placed against the front balcony.
Thirty minutes after the flames made en-
trance into the hotel, it was perfectly gut
ted, with nothing left but bare walls.
The hotel occupied the North side of the
plaza The houses on each side separated
from it only by a narrow street, were soon
in flames. The fire followed down Tas
MOujas street, but the wind changing and
the intervention of large unfinished build
ing arrested its course in an easterly direc-
tion. In a nOrtherly and westerly direc-
ton from the hotel and the house in which
the fire originated, many buildings were
burned in the Gales Commerce. and San
Juan de Dios, including the Bank Of Pam
anna.
The change of wind threw the fire back
in the burnt district, and it finally exhaust
ed itself, but not before property in the
streets of the latter, Commercial and San
Juan de Rios, has been destroyed to an
amount (it is estimated) Of Se00,O1O to
S1,000,000. The central and most valuable
part of the city Of Panama, containing the
finest buildings and richest stores, was de-
strOyed.

The fire engines were ont Of repair and
useless: Not even buckets could be OBJ
tanned, and nothing could be done to stay
the progress Of the flames.
