Chicago in Ashes Again,

From the dispatches in Wednesdays
dailies we have the particulars of an
other great fire in Chicago Tuesday
evening and night, the particulars of
which we eondense as follows: The
fire started about AZ p. NJ. in some
frame houses corner Clark and Twelfth
streets. At 61e the fire had almost
made a clean sweep up to the corner of
Third Avenue and Polk street, burning.
up the houses of thousands of people,
Here the process of blowing up build
ings was commenced, but falling to do
any good, was abandoned. The fire
progressed still, taking the elegant first
Baptist Church, the Post Office on the
corner of Wabash Avenue and Harri-
son street, the very point where the
great fire of 1871 was stopped. Here
extraordinary efforts were made to stop
the fire. but en- it goes, taking in the
st. James Hotel, Continental Hotel, the
Adelphl Theatre, Michigan Avenue Ho-
tel, &C., where it ended. The loss is
immense, but has not been ascertained.
The track of the fire was four blocks
wide and mile long.

THE SEVENTH DISTRICT.
Address of the Congressional
Committee to the Demo-
cratic and Conservative
Voters.

AT a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee for the Seventh Congressional
District, held in Columbia on the Sth
day of July, 1874, the committee was
unanimously of the opinion, that for the
purpose of securing harmony in the
Democratic and Conservative party, and
insuring success in the coming Congress
sional election, a convention for the
purpose of nominating candidate for
Congress from this district, be held in
Columbia, on the 18th ofSeptember, 1874.
The committee recommend that the
people meet at the voting precinct in
each civil district of the several cOun-
ties on the first Saturday in September,
and elect delegates to a county conven-
ton to be held at the Court House of
each county on the first Monday in Sep
TENDER, for the purpose of electing del
egates to the convention. The commit
tee urge upon the people the necessity
and importance of attending each meet
ing and of selecting good and true men
to represent them in the convention.
The committee also urge upon the peo-
pie the importance and necessity of har-
mony and united action in the canvass,
and that they suffer no selfish and am
bilious men to create disorganizing
spirit in the party and by that means
secure the election of a radical. The
committee further urge and recommend,
that, for the purpose of thoroughly or
ganizing the party for the coming can
vass, the people of the several counties
of this district at as early a day as prac-
ticable select and appoint an executive
committee for each county.
The committee feel that with one pur-
pose in view, with united action and
with harmony in the party, success is
certain. W. b. GORDON,
July 8, 1874. Chairman.

The position of the RURAL SUN on the
subject of taxation is such as will COM
mend itself, we are satisfied, to the
sound judgment and patriotic impulses
of the whole people of the State, and
particularly the agricultural portion of
the community. We are for the lowest
rate of taxation consistent with the
preservation of the untarnished credit
Of the State. We are for retrenchment
and reform, wherever they can be at
tanned in such manner as to advance
the public interests. If there are use
less offices, let them be abolished; if
any salaries are too high, let them be re
duced; If there is any waste of public
money, let this waste be checked. There
may be a niggardly economy which
would, in the end, prove to be the high
est extravaganza. This we would not
advocate. The preservation of State
credit is too important to the farming
community to be tritled with. We need
more labor and more capital in the State {;
the value and productiyeness Of our
lands depend upon these, and our get
ting labor and capital depends upon
preserving our good name and our rep
utation for honesty and fair dealing.
Whenever community or State ignores
its legal and moral obligations, and es-
tablishes a reputation for dishonesty, it
sustaiRs an injury which is beyond cal
culation. Let rs increase our wealth
and the productiYeness of our lands.
Let us husband our resources and be-
come more self-reliant and self-sustain-
ing, and we will then feel less the bur
dens of taxation. If we would as we
can, increase the taxable property of
TenpCssee to one thousand millions of
dollars, it would require very low taxes
to pay our debts and keep up a wise and
economical State Government-SaR

EB- There has been great excitement
among the cotton factors of Nashville
within the past week over a projected
arrangement of the railroads centering
there to establish a cotton warehouse
and compress. The compact was entered
into by the J.. 81 N. g. G. S. and the n.
c. & St. /. Railroads on the one part
and Messrs. Alloway and Burr of Nash
vile and Carley of Louisville, on the
other, to receive and deliver cotton in
that city only at a ware house proposed
to be erected by the latter firm. A COM
press is also to be erected, and this is
said TO be the main object of the rail-
roads. The factors of Nashville were
insensed and alarmed ut this move of
the railroads, and Immediately pro-
tested. Their committees interviewed
the r. r. officials, and succeeded finally
I'm inducing the latter to rescind their
contract, on conditions that the Nash
vile factors would themselves build the
warehouse and compress. They will be
compelled to accede to this demand or
give up the control Of the Nashville
cotton trade.

For the CITIZEN.

Queries.
EDITOR CITIZEN IL send you a few of
the questions which were prepared for
our Teachers Institute, hoping they may
assist in keeping alive the deep interest
manifested in our county in the cause of
education, and hoping also, that frater-
nal communications through your valu-
oble paper, will add to the number of
your subscribers 1t is true, we have
very valuable State journal, but it is by
no means adequate to the wants of the
local Institutes, especially of Giles cOun-
ty, which stands in the front rank in the
cause of education.
Some of these questions are answered
and some are not. 1t is not pretended
that the answers given are correct, but
let each one answer for himself:
@. Why is the meridian of 20 degrees
west longitude from Greenwich the di-
viding line between the Eastern and
Western Hemisphere?
Ans. Previous to the discovery of
America, navigaters had ventured no
further West, and when America was
discovered and the map of the globe
made out, that limit was retained as
the boundary line between the two hem
ispheTes.
Q. Has Tennessee State any right to
legislate about weights and measures?
A. She has not. This is one of the
especial powers reserved to Congress by
the Federal Constitution.
Q. Describe the process by which
snake crawls.
Q. Why will a eat or small dog shake
a floor more than the moving of large
animal?
A. Because its motions are in unison
with the vibrations of the supporting
beams.
Q. Why does the sun seem to rise and
set north of our parallel of latitude from
the Goth of March to the goth of Sep
TENDER?
Q. Why do the wheels of locomotives
sometimes revolve without carrying the
cars forward?
A. For want OF traction.
Q. What will neutraliZe the fetid OdOr
of the polecat?
@. Why does the Irish potato flourish
better in high ATTITUDES, since it was
found IN and taken from a warm climate !?
A. 1t must have been found on the
side of mountain at height CORES
ponding to high latitude.
@. Why are there no night horses
among the night mares?
A. This question must have been in
tended against the photography mare,
for mar.
Q. Why are there no tides in the Bal
tic Sea?
@, What is twice the third and half
third of three times three?
A. Three.
We hope after our next meeting to
have something more interesting.
Yours truly, "PoNs.

Our Washington correspondent yes
terday called attention to the fact that
the civil rights bill is not entirely dead,
having merely been left with other nm
finished business at the close of the ses-
sion. At the beginning of the next ses-
sion our correspondent remarked it will
be in the power of bare majority to
take up bill on the Speakers table, the
two thirds rule having been adopted
only toward the close of the session to
prevent interruption of other business.
There is an impression also prevailing
in this connection that the two regular
sessions Of Congress are independent of
each other, and that if any business is
left unfinished il must be originated
again at the next session. \ joint rule
of the two houses, however, provides
that after six days from the commence
ment of a second or subsequent session
of Congress, all bills, resolutions or re-
ports which originated in either house,
and at the close of the next preceding
session remained undetermined in either
house, shall be resumed and acted upon
in the same manner as if an adjourn
ment had not taken place. 1t will thus
be seen that next winter the civil rights
bill will begin just where it left of when
Congress adjourned. At the beginning
OF the next session il viii be in the
power of a majority, and unless the fall
elections change the present aspect of
the House the bill will be passed, unless
the minority have the parliamentary
skill to stave il of, ut least until it is
found necessary to put the two-thirds
rule into operation.-CO urter-JOurndl.

EB- Tom Bowling, the great Ken
lucky race horse, has let down. After
one of the most brilliant series of victo-
ries recorded in turf history, says the
CORrier-JOUrRal, the mighty Tom Bow
ling, like all great horses of the past, is
the victim of his own success. The
glories of the course are as exciting
and as fascinating to the race horse as
Co his fortunate owner, but sooner or
later they leave the proud king of the
turf wreck at their shrine. Hence it
is not at all surprising that Kentucky's
last favorite, though young and hither-
to invincible, has even at an early day
paid the penalty which is the common
lot OF his kind.
Tom Bowling by Lexington, dam
Lucy Fowler, by Imported Albion was
foaled in May, 1870, consequently is
now nearly four years old. Though so
young in years this is already his third
racing season.

The new law makes important chan
ges in regard to postage. From the LIST
of Jan. 1875, the postage on newspa-
pers will be prepaid by the publishers
at the rate of two cents per pound.
Subscribers will, after Jan. l, be subject
to no postage. Papers viii be delivered
free in counties where published. I'm
der this regulation weekly papers will
be within fraction of 10 cents per an
mum, and dailieS 60 cents per annum,
against 20 and 100 cents under the pres
ent law. This new lazy will force all
publishers to adopt the advance system
OF payment. They cannot afford to fur
nish the paper on credit and, at the
same time, advance the postage.
