A LARGE CONFEDERATION

PrrsBuRa, July "A very destructive fire
occurred at Allegheny City this afternoon. A
square and half of buildings, principally dwell
ings, on west side of Federal street, between
Sampson street and Marquette Alley, extending
back to Arch street, and three or four buildings
on the east side of Federal street, were totally
destroyed.
1t was thought at one time that the whole upper
part of the city would be destroyed, the supply
Of water was limited, and very high wind pre-
vailed, carrying sparks in all &f ections, and set
ting fire to houses two three squares away, but
with the united efforts of the Pittsburg and Alle-
ghany City fire departments, the flames were
brought under control about 3 O'Clock this eve
ming.
Over 100 houses in all we're destroyed, leaving
many families homeless.
The loss cannot now be estimated, but it IL
thought it will reach about 5000 900. Tho fire
originated in Cresswell & Burgoin's carpenter
shop, it is supposed from fre-crackers having
been thrown in by boys playing in the neighbor-
hood

SECOND WARD CLUB.-There was, notwith-
standing the weather, a great outpouring of
the old Democrats at the meeting of the
Second Ward last night. The old and true
spirit was shown, and, strange to say, many
old merchants Were present. The delegates
elected were John ONeil and P. J. Sullivan.
We congratulate this ward on their wise selec-

BErrER AND STILL BETTER. accounts
from the winter wheat producing regions of
Kansas, Missouri and Illinois continue to be
of the most cheering character. 1t was sure,
all along that an exceptionally good crop OF
wheat would be secured but it was not
known that the weather would prove 50 pro-
pitious as it has ripening the wheat evenly
and thoroughly. Harvesting weather is all
that could be desired, and We presume that
seven-eighths of ali the winter wheat grown
in the United States is now safely in stack.
Along the line OF the Missouri, Pacific and
Atlantic and Pacific Railways the yield is
enormous. In single county it is estimated
there will be a million bushels to ship and
very large surpluses will exist in each county.
All unite in saying, also, that the quality is as
good as the quantity is unprecedented.

Some time ago cause for complaint was
found in the excessively lenient treatment Of
Tweed on Blackwell's Island There is more
trouble now, but of different kind-tbe
friends of James H. Iagersoll, one of the
TEmmany convicts, affecting deep indignation
because this likewise distinguished criminal il
compelled to work and eat in company with .
bnrly negro and noted burglar. Very pain
ful NO doubt to man of his refined senibii-
ties-still nothing to excite sympathy. An
offense against law and morality is not less
ened but heightened by the intelligence Of
the person committing it; and when he vol
unfairly degrades himself to the moral plane

there is no good reason why the community
should object If prison discipline brings them

A Hot Day in New York City.

The New York Sun, Of the 1st inst, thus
describes hot day in that city:
Yesterday was a scorcher, and the hottest
OF the hot days thus far in 1874. The Central
Park thermometer at sunrise marked sc. At
IL o'clock the mercury stood at 80, and down
town it was in some places two degrees higher.
At 3 P. NJ. it marked 81, and at 81 the instru-
ment at Hudnuts read 1O1I. In thirty min
utes more the heat increased, and the,
highest point marked in fifty years-ex-
cept on the 18th Of July, 1856 - was
reached. namely, 102 degrees Fahren-
heit. The suffering indoors and out was
intense until some time after sunset when the
breeze from the south freshened and light
shower fell. which relieved the suffocating air
of much OF its caloric, and gave men and ami
mails a breathing spell. Fat men with eeats
and vests of perspired and pulled with painful
vigor; and even men like Cassie, with lean
and hungry look, wore the appearance Of
martyrs undergoing the process of cremation
before their time had come. But the Car and
wagon and omnibus horses suffered most,
especially those which were SO unfortunate ~
to be handled by brutal men.
The sunny sides of the streets were reli-
giously stunned all day long, the cars were
crowded, sun umbrellas were plenty, ice water
was in constant demand, and the poison sold
as soda water by pelpatetic vendors at street
corners was absorbed at a rate to strike terror
in the hearts Of those who have learned the
mysteries and understand the miseiies Of the
human stomach.

An order has been issued by Judge Atocha
of New Orleans, to the municipal and police
magistrates to take down evidence word for
word as the witness gives it. In English po-
lice courts all evidence given is taken down,
read to the Witness and he signs it, This in
wolves additional expense but it saves the
trouble of calling the witnesses before the Grand
Jury, and holds them to their sworn state
ments. The way in which testimony is given
in the lower courts of this city is disgraceful
A citizen is frequently sentenced on the m
sworn dictum Of police officer. Then coun-
sell witnesses and policemen are huddled to-
gether in way that must be most disagreea-
BILE to those who have feelings of delicacy. 1t
may be important that the business Of the
courts should be done promptly, but it is more
important that the constitutional right Of citi-
zens should be respected. If every word Il
testimony in every case should be deliberately
taken down and sworn to- emitting, of course,
all verbiage, there would be less perjury and
more equal justice. York Sun.

Louisiana" derived none of il power
none of its authority, from the people of
Louisiana. 1t sprang, full-a1ned, with all its
deadly power for wrong, from the corrupt
brain OF a United States Judge, who, fresh
from his haunts of infamy and shame, reeking
with the stencil and fumes of midnight de-
bauchery, with the kisses OF hario:s yet warm
on his lips and the music OF their wanton
songs lingering in his ears sheltering himself
behind the robes of his high office, dared, in
violation OF an express provision of the very
law under which he claimed jurisdiction, to
issue decree creating a Legislature for TIE
people Of Louisiana, and invoking the unwill-
ing bayOnets of the United States to save it
from the fury OF an outraged and insulted
people.
This, sir, was the Legislature which gave
my competitor the right and power to sign
himself acting Governor of Louisiana "
and certify to his election to this body.
Away with the cry that Louisiana or the
South is disloyal it is the cry Of men who can
only live by keeping it before the people. 1t is
not from the hearts of men who fought rebel
hon down that this cry comes, not from the
mon who at Gettysburg, in the Wilderness,
upon the hills Of Vicksburg. the mountains Of
Georgia and the slopes Of Mission Ridge, roll
ed in resistless columns against the armies of
the South, does this cry Of treason come. No
demand that punishment shall be meted out to
the South comes from them. In their hearts
no hate is found brave themselves, they yield
willing tribute to the valor Of their old-6me
foes Mourning for their dead, they respect
the south because they, too. mourn the loss Of

GOLDEN Truths FROM THE WHITE HOUSE,
Serene as a Summers day are those we'll
known and popular clothing men, Messrs.
Cohn & Isaacs, No. 10 south street, Virginia.
The world wags well with them. People appre
ciate their goods, approve of their prices; and
admire their style of doing business. At the
WHITE HOUSE CLOTHING STORE are seen no
broils nor contentious with swindled custo
mers returning moth-eaten and inferior goods
No evssive protestations, that 81 dldn sell 1t
to YOU" and Il didn'trecommend it, winding
up with your eyes were your market, sir.
At the WHITE House old customers daily re
turn, bringing their friends with them, who
also become good customers. OF course,to
some natures, it is very CALLING 70 see new
establishment like the WHITE HOUSE open
right under their noses, as it were, and achieve
a marked and brilliant success; taking in the
very start high position in public esteem,
and gaining greater share of popular favor
and patronage than many houses that have
beed hamnering away for years. however,
these Old houses should learn to grin and
bear it, Messrs. Cohn 4 Isaacs do not allude
to these things in any spirit of pride or tr1-
rmph; they simply state facts for the public
good They do not doubt that it is gall and
wnr1nwood to their neighbors TO have custo-
mers of many years standing leave them and
give their patronage to the WHITE HOUSE
CLOTHING SroRR. bnt manifestation of temper
is in very bad taste, and really has bad effect.
Being manifestly untrue it disgusts all hear
ers, and sends customers by scores to the
WHITE House. Such is life. So mote 1t be.
