Special psspatch to Ths Chicago Tribune.
DEsvEH, Col. Feb. 26.-The party, composed
:of GOV. Elbert and other prominent otfcials
and citizens, which started from this city early
yesterday morning on the Kansas Pacific Rail-
way for Washington, in response to q summons
from the Senatorial Committee on Territories,
to testify to the alleged pecuatons Of ex-Gov~
McCook while he was Chief Magistrate Of COL
or1do, haye had the misfortune to be showed in
near Fort Wallace, about 900 milee east OF this
city. Under the most favorable circunn-
STANCES, it is thought they will be hardly
able to reach the Missouri Kver by Satur-
day morning. As the confirmation or
rejection Of McCook hinges to great extent
upon the testimony OF the party, tho delay
caused by the diftod snow upon the railway
occasions much anxiety here among the friends
and opposezs Of that gentleman, and the more
especially as several executive Sessions OF tho
Senate have recently been held. The Suporin-
tendent Of tho road sent down q supply-train
this morning, well laden With provisions for the
several trains that are showed in, and also q
large force Of laborera, snow-plowg, and other
appliances to open the road. No trains from the
East arrived here Oh the Kansas Pacific Rail-
WAY since Monday evening until 10 o'clock to-
night. All the passengers hare been veil cared
for BY the Company, and no suffering has oc-

Three years ago, IN May, 1871, the Taxpayers
Of South Carolina met in convention, protested
against the corruption Of their rulers, secured
the rejection of 600 Of fraudulent bonds,
received promises OF future reform. and ad-
tou1ned. Che country knows how those prom
ises hare been kept. The Taxpayers, driven by
despair, have again met. They held SESSIONS
during four days Of last week. With some fool
ish talk, they said and did many wise things.
The President, the Hon. ". D. Porter, said. in
his opening speech, that the voters OF South
Carolina were divided into two ciasseB,-the tax
payers and the non-tax-payerB.-andt that the
lstter class hAd supreme power, and levied
ta1ee On the former with natural reckless
ness. Persons who wish to resist Illegal
taxes in the courts arc forbidden ~
Rtatuta to do 80 until after the taxes have
been paid. Gen. Porter suggested that the Con-
sention should take measures to encourage
White immigration, should organize Taxpayers
clubs throughout the state, and should present
memorials to Congress and to the people. Other
speakers dwelt Oh the Importance Of providing

- sourH Bend, Ind, Feb. 26.-At few minutes
before O'Clock this morning, fire broke ont in
the finishing and packing building Of the Singer
Sewing Machine Works, completely destroying
it and a1I it's contents, creating total loss Of
$4,000, OF which nearly $780, 900 is on the build

by 800 feet, and three stories high. It was built
Of brick, and in 1t were 1900 sewing machine
cases, completed, OF nearly 80 or them, 5000

Glasgow, Scotland. The light m the fire WAS seen
at Elkhsrt, fifteen miles from here, and made
South Bend Light az At midday. The origin of
the fire is unknown, but all the Indications seem
to point to incendiariam. :: :,
Another Of their large buildings WAS consider
ably damaged and some common lumber burned.
They had no insurance. The Michigan Central
depot. situated across the street, was badly
scorched, as Was q passenger-coaeh standing

etructed, tho loss would undoubtedly have been
much greater, several million feet Of valuable

THE BEETHOVEN SOCIETY HEUEpTIoy.-
The Beethoven Society gave its second racsp-
ton last evening to it's associate members, at
Standard Hall, the Audion:e being very largo
one. The programme OF the evening was An
ambitious one for young society, but The vocal
selections showed good taste upon the part OF

aud cheerful character, az arc nearly all Of this
Scandinavian composer's vocai writings; sch1-

Chorus" from Wagners "Flying Dutchman.n
for female voices; the stirring Damascus
chorus Of Costa's, md chorus from "Thamos."
when the society gets balanced it ought to be-
come stock pieco with thom- The chorus is
one Of three written by Mozart in 178o to Ton
Goblor's heroic drama OF ''Thar1os, Konig in
1856 AS the piece itself w.s failure, it vas
shelyed, and OF course with it the music much
to Mozart's regret, which he expressed in 3
letter to hie father The chorus, however, is in
hozart's best vein, and does nos !oso
anything taken from It's setting. The
society is not yet sufficiently balanced
to do complete justice to choral music.

precision OF attack and IN quality OF tone, tho
voices being mostly young, freRtl, and rehnod,
