New York, March l6.-Latest advices

corning the great fire OF February 10Th,
estimates the loss at from 1000 to
81 100000. The fire originated in the
straw hat store of Senior Gullierres in
the Gale Concrete, directly in front of
the private entrance to the Grand Hotel,
to which the flames soon communicated.
The block was very large and occupied
by retail aud commission stores. The
Bishop of Panama and number of
young priests in the building lost every
thing they possessed. Many guests in
the hotel narrowly escaped with their
lives, and in thirty minutes nothing was
left but the bare walls. The houses on
the east side were soon ablaze, and the
FIRE spread east, north and west, burning
many buildings in Gale Concrete and
San Juan de Rias, embracing some of
the finest buildings and richest stores in
the city. The Imperial Insurance Com
pany, of London, loses 100000, the
Sun, of London, $4,000, and other Bri-
fish companies between 100000 and
$500, 900.
A special dispatch to the Herald from
Richmond says the most profound ex-
element experienced in Virginia
since the war is occasioned by Governor
Kemper's message to the Senate vetoing
the bill to provide new charter for
Petersburg. The passage of the bill
caused great rejoicing but the Governors
veto produced a revulsion Of feeling
among large number Of citizens. Gov.
Kemper was burned in efigy at Bland
ford, and placards we're posted in Peters
burg at night, with the words, Wanted,
six hundred men to lynch Kemper."
Excitement runs high on the subject.
The morning papers say most for
midable coalition of railroads is now
being effected by the Philadelphia and
Trenton road to render imperative the
scheme of the Peoples Air Line from

as place Of defense. It covers about
an acre Of ground and would accommo-
date a GARRISON Of one thousand men,

dams being compelled to do the labor Of
building. Over the entrance is the
Spanish coat Of arms, and the name Of
the then governor, the chief engineer Of
the works, and the date Of the compile
ton Of the fort. In 1885 a dungeon was
discovered BY the caving Of a wall from
above, and in it we're two iron cages, just
large enough to admit the body OF a man,
and each contained a human skeleton.

HOW 10 NOMINATE.

Our Nashville contemporaries are de-
voting considerable space to discus
sion of the manner best to adopt in the
nomination Of candidates for office.
We may remark that no plan is perfect
or free from objections. Defeated can
didates will always find fault, and some
times threaten to run independently.
Everything depends upon sticking TO
the plan adopted. The primary election
system tried here not quite two years
ago seemed satisfactory at the time,
although the Democratic party split
afterward on the Cheatham johnson
question, and the ticket was beaten
The greatest objection to the new sys-
tenn is that tricksters will help secure
the nomination Of weak candidates, in
some instances that the other side may
come out with strong ticket and win.
Yet the same thing has been attempted
in conventions indirectly and sometimes
with success. The Shelby County Execu-
tive Committee meets on the 9Th of
April, after which there will be ample
time to settle this question for Shelby
county. A good start has been made
thus far, which is half the battle.

If Shelby cepnty would secure the To-
cation Of the State Insane Asylum for
West Tennessee something must be
done, aud speedily. Jackson, seeing
the benefits to be derived from such an
institution in her vicinity, has made a
heavy bid, and will. perhaps, offer even
more. The city of Memphis has voted
ten thousand dollars as a donation.
Now let our magistrates, who are public
spirited as well as economical, meet to-
gether and see whether they cannot vote
an appropriation for the same purpose
Some of the advantages Of securing the
location are that several hundred thou
sand dollars would be expended in our
midst to purchase site and erect suit
able buildings. A market would be Gre
ated for large and prosperous neigh
borhood, persons from distance would
come here to accompany or visit the un-
fortunates of the institution, large
expenditure of money would be made in.
our midst every year, and the patronage
of the asylum would amountto no incon-
siderable sum to various classes. As to the
claims Of Shelby county, it is as healthy
as any other, to say the least, is more
accessible, pays more taxes than halt a
dozen other counties, and from her sit
uation here, bordered by three States,
has a greater population and necessarily
furnishes larger number of insane than
any other county. These reasons should
have their weight, and will no doubt,
with the Commissioners when they meet
on the 23d instant. By that time ma
iority of the magistrates could be con-
suited and their views ascertained. II
favorable the fact might determine the
action Of the Commissioners. In an
other issue we propose to show from
official sources the population OF Shelby
county, revenues paid to the State, and
number of insane annually sent to the
asylum at Nashville as compared with
other counties contesting for the loca

How GOV. Scot. Didn't Fight a

HOW Gov scott Dlun'C EASht ~
Duel.
From the "reminiscences OF Ex-Gov- Charles
Scott
MANY little incidents of his admins

While Gen. Scott was Governor Of
Kentucky, an insignificant individual,
having a desire to distinguish his Prov
ess pretended some offense, singled out
Gov. Scott, to whom he sent challenge
for a duel. The old veteran very prompt
" refused to notice the challenge. Mean
time the braggart had been ostentsuouss-
" specializing on the occurrence in ad-
vance, not anticipating the turn it took.
After waiting in vain for an answer, he
went personally to demand an expiana-
ton.
General Scott, you received my chal-

"But | have neither received an ac,
acknowledgement nor an acceptance OF 1t.
II presume not, sir, as l have sent
neither.

it possible that you, Gen. Scott, brought

Important to Those who Draw
Notes.

From the Baltimore News.l
A man drew a note promising to pay
one hundred dollars. BE used the print
ed form and did not close up the blank
devoted to dollars, and passing it as
negotiable paper some one inserted "and
fifty" after the word hundred and before
the printed word dollars. The note, thus
altered, got into the hands of an limo.
cent party, who presented it to the
drawer, and the Supreme Court decided
that the maker Of the note was liable for
its face, because, through negligence, he
did not draw a line between the word
dollars. Any testimony that the drawer
might offer to establish the fact be gave
the note for one hundred dollars must
90 for nothing, as there was nothing
on the face OF the note to show that it
had been altered" Evidence of an
alteration on the face Of the note would
have changed the case. Let this be a
lesson to all drawers Of promissory notes.
No one can be too careful in such mat
tiers.
