THE VIRGINIA FIRE.

from our IAtrd Oi ltsttluAy,I
The following is the Gold Hill News
account Of the fire at Virginia City, as
published in tina. paper on the Goth
instant;
The fate so long dreaded by the peo-
pie OF Virginia has come at last. Two
thirds of the city is now mass of

kept by woman named Kate Shay,
better known as Cray Kate" The
Babcock Fire Extingusher was promptly
on hand, as also the hand-engine of
Fire Company No A, but all was of no
avail to stay the progress of the flames;
before the steamers could get a stream
on the fire, the doom of the city was
sealed.
STRONG WIND
Was blowing from the west at the time,
which carried the flames and burning
cinders for hundreds of feet, and twenty
minutes after the first alarm, not less
than thirty or forty buildings were in
flames. Where the damage is so great
there is no use of attempting to enter
into detailed account OF the losses; the
best idea that can be given being that
they are computed by millions.
THE FIRE EXTENDED
From Taylor street on the south, almost
to the cemetery on the north. and from
Stewart street on the west to G street, or
perhaps further, on the east. The area
Of the ground traversed by the flames IS
about three-fourths of mile in length
by half mile in width.
As the wind was blowing toward the
north and east, the spread OF the fire in
the opposite direction was comparatively
slow, and something like fight was
made against it. On the west side of

toned at the Gould and Curry cistern at
the commencement of the fire, and kept
the same position during the day. doing
good service all the time. On the east

lutions were finally brought before the House by
a vote of ll2 yeas to IS nays, more than two
thirds. Tho first resolution relative to the seating
of members in the Legislature, was adopted with
out q division, with few dissenting votes. The
second, recognizing Kellogg until the end OF his
term, was adopted by maj oriy vote, which stood
yeas 1853, nays 80. The only republicans who
voted against the motion to suspend the rules and
bring the resolutions before the House separately
for action by majority vote were ii. l.. Pierce OF
Massachusetts,, Sencr and ]. Amber Smith OF
Virginia.
The only democrat who voted with the ~ re-
publcans was Alex. II. Stephens, late Wee Presi-

The Democrats are unable to conceal the fact that
for partisan purposes they had hoped to prevent
any action upon Louisiana, in order that the an
archcal condition of affairs in that State might
continue to be used as Democratic capital in the
political campaign of 1876.

THE LOUISIANA RESOLVES ADOPTED
IN THE HOUSE.

The Washington correspondence of the Boston
Journal says "The great work of the day in the
House was the adoption Of the preamble and reso-
lutions as recommended by majority Of the Sc
lect Committee on Louisiana Affairs, of which
Geo. F. Hoar is Chairman. These resolutions
recommend to the House of Representatives of
Louisiana: First, that steps be taken to seat
members lawfully entitled to seats; and second,
that VIM. Pitt Kellogg be recognized as Governor
until the end of his term. The resolutions were
Unexpectedly brought before the House. 1t
seemed at first that owing to the operations of the
two-thirds rule they might not be brought to a
vote. The democrats of course desired that a
separate vote should be taken upon the two reso-
luiions for the reason, the result showed, that
they were all partisans enough to vote unanimous
ly for the first resolution and were not enough
lovers of peace to vote for the second.
Toe motion to pass the resolutions together
failed the vote standing l55 yeas to IS nays, not
twe-thirds This was the critical time, Speaker
Blaine left the chair and exercised his right as
member on the floor, and it was evident to those
who closely watched the proceedings that the
suspension of the rules by which the resolutions
were brought before the House to be passed by
majority vote was in a great measure due to
Speaker Blaine's individual exertions. The reso'

rights, render that right humiliation if
not a curse.
It's anti-war pro-slavery position was
one of the leading counts in the indict-
ment which the people found against the
democratic party. Their attitude on that
question demonstrated their hypocrisy and
led to their disgraceful overthrow. But
they have not profited by the lesson thus
taught them If possible, their hatred of
the race has become intensified, as mems
hatred Of men whom they have injured
always does The brand of slavery has
been removed, but they wish to still leave
upon the race the brand of "inferioritv, !"
by denying to them the civil rights COM
mon to all other citizens, however intel
lectually debased or however morally de-
graded.
The hypocritical character of the pro-
fessed democracy of the democratic par
tv is rendered as conspicuous by this de-
sire to create an aristocracy of citizenship,
as it was by its old-tme eulogy of slavery
rs divine institution.
1t would be indecent and unwise even
if practicable TO tolerate distinction be-
tween "two classes of citizens The
ballot is the most potent, but it is neither
the most elevating nor the most benefi-
cent prerogative of citizenship. To give
any class one right and deprive them of
all others would be as foolish as to de-
fraud the hreling Of his wages and then
entrust him with the guardianship of the
sheaves he has garnered for his oppressor.
The rights withheld would remain q per-
petual temptation to use the right pos
sessed as weapon of retaliation.
The decision of this question of equal
rights for all citizens may be postponed
but it cannot be evaded. The public con-
science, an enlightened public sentiment,
the imperative logic of necessity, as well
as the lower motives of party success and
political expediency, will lead to constant
agitation, compel discussion, and force
the dominant party (whether republican
or democratic) either to concede equal
rights to all citizens or to take from the
ostracised race the right Of the ballot

EQUALITY IN CITIZENSHIP.
rom Harper's Weekly.


Our constant argument has been that there can
not be two classes of citizens, and the negro must
be citizen upon equal terms with the rest OF us,
and with the adequate personal protection of the
law which we all enjoy.
In Republic there can be no enduring
harmony without the recognized equality
of all citizens To concedc to one class
what is denied 10 another is not simply
unjust it cannot fail to foster an antagon-
ism out OF which must grow. sooner or
later, hate, discord and disorder. Better
legslized caste than halfrecognizeG equal
ity. Better to have withheld from the
freedmen the franchise altogether than to
concede to them that right and withhold
from them all others.
1t was lesson taught quite as emphat-
ically by our own national history as by
the general history OF the world. not only
that the co-existence of freedom and
slavery is incompatible with the highest
development of individual and national
life, but that there was such an "irrepress.
ible conflict" between them that, in time.
the one or the other must predominant.
We were all slow to learn this great truth.
1t required a bloody war to impress it up
on the mind. heart and conscience of the
people. But when the lesson was learned
it found speedy practical application in the
immortal Proclamation of Freedom.
1t would be sad indeed if lesson thus
dearly learned should be speedily forgot
