altogether the lvelest scene we have had

The building was a very good-sized one
but having been Quilted of its windows, DOORS
and everything el,e portable, it was not
worth more than $50 1t was the propeaty
Of Mr. |. |. Moore.
As far as the loss of the building is con-
cerncd, there is no regret at its having been
burned; on Che contrary, every one is glad
TO see il out of the way, as it has long been
an eye-sore and disgrace to the neighbour
hood. 1t having been set on fire, however,
is another thing, and considerable feeling is
expressed in regard to it, many considering
it as very bad example to have been set, as
the idea of setting Old, dilapidated and uuoc-
cupied buildings on fire aying been origin
ated, there may be no end to it, so many of
the buildings of Superio being Of that class;
and once started it would probably end very
disastrouSly to somebody
This is the opinion of the TINES, and we
hope there will be no more of it.

done with view of preventing the
election of an L. S. Senator of their
choice. II it was supposed this Senator
would be negro. or a man that would
follow the lead of Morton, no committee
would be asked for. But Grant and his
party have dwindled down to such small
numbers that Morton fears the majority
may become the minority, and that Sena-
tor fears investigations into the past
acts Of the Senate hence his efforts to
cheat the people and to use this revolu-
tionary mode to defrand them of their
right in the Senate. Bad as the Senate
has been, we cannot believe Morton will
be allowed to carry his resolution through
it to n successful issue. Senator Bay
ards effort to defeat this WHY'S man &
object is one of the most worthy of his
life and he will by it endear hims elf to
all that love liberty.

BABCoCK doesn't think it worth
while for the court Of inquiry to con-
tinuc its existence, "the means of
vindication" for which he ycarned
having been afforded him at ST. Louis.
OF course. General Hancock, it will
be remembered, suggested that the
court had better wait till after the
trial, since,i Babcock were convicted, +,
some military action would be re.
quired; and, even if he were acquitted
OF the criminal charge, there might be
some conduct unbecoming an officer
and gentleman that the court would
need to look into. All this the dis
tinguished major of engineers thinks
quite unnecessary, and the authorities
at Washington, taking the same view,
have dissolved the court. Well II
would be little hard on Babcock TO
leave him no chance of escape at all.
