seems rs if the republicans may always
RELY on democratic folly to help them ou'
of their troubles.
In Wisconsin, where two years ago the
democrats and grangers united 'and elect
ed Taylor governor. a reverse has come
upon them. Harrison LudinSton, OF NIL
waukec, the republican candidate Is elec
ted governor by 5000 majority. Ihl:
result is as it should be, for the democratic
partv of Wisconsin has always been );
rotten and corrupt mess. 1t has been
fraud from the days of q Barstow and the
balance twenty years ago, through the
DAYS of the war when it was copperheac
all over, down to the time when it celc
brated its latest success by electlng FREQ
Horn speaker of the house. Nothing good
ever came out of democratic success II
Wisconsin, and no one who knows the
material of which that party is there com
pact would ever expect any good Oft.
The result Of yesterdays vote Indicate:
that if the honest men who are republic
cans will see to it that their representa-
tivcs carry out the principles they profess
&c. reform rs well as talk it, there will BIT
very good chance of electing republi
can president in 1876.

Great Fire.

The thrivin. Nevada mining town of
Virginia City, noted for being built for the
most part over the famous Comstock lode,
was visited, the Goth, by most destructive
contlayration, which very nearly wiped out
Of existence every vestige of the place,
rendering over 10000 persons homeless,
and entailing a loss of S., 100000. The
fire broke out, about daylight in dwelling
on Il street near Taylor street, in the south
western limit of the business and thickly
settled portion Ct the city. 1t spread rap
idly, extending eastward toward the ravine
in which were situated the works and
mills of several prominent mines, and
reaching as far as F street. Northward.
the flames crossed Union and Sutton streets
covering space of about 10 blocks COM
prising almost every building of any value
in the town. As the fire worked up to G.
street, the offices of the Territorial Enter
prise and Chronicle newspapers first fell
victims to the flames, then Piper's opera
house, and soon after it became evident
that the railroad depot and the hosting
works Of the Consolidated Virginia mine
were in danger. The water supply was
inadequate, and the engines of little use
80 recourse was had to blowing up build
ings. But it was too late, and in few
minutes the depot and the hosting works
were in flames. The latter were recently
completed at an expense of several hun
dred thousand dollars, and were the finest
on the Comstock lode. As the flames
crcpt on to the north and east, the partially
completed mill of the California mine and
the Consolidated Virginia mill were soon
envcloped in the flames, which spread still
further north to the Ophir hosting works,
destroying them also, which is about the
limit of the destruction in that direction,
the fire dying out for want Of fuel.
From Taylor Street, near which the fire
originated, it also spread southwark
against the wind, destroying the bra nch
office of the bank of California, Wells,
Fargo x Co.'S express office, and every
thing in its line. At this point the Gould
4 Curry works were in imminent danger.
but We're fortunately saved. The burned
district includes the entire business portion
of the town, with all the hotels. churches
county buildings, newspaper, telegraph
and express Offices, and many private resi-
denccs and dwellings,. Over 10000 per
sons are made homeless, and as the wind
was piercing, much suffering was endured
before temporary shelter could be prepared
No loss of life is reported.

Anon. the various projects connected

American independence, is one originat-

of the ancient friendship between the tw O
nations. 1t is proposed to erect on a

sal statue of Liberty cnlightening the
World, the statue to be presented bv the
citizens of France. and the pedestal to
be furnished by Americans Not only
will this be a monument of the friendship
long existing between the countries of La
fayettc and Washington, but it will also
serve rs a beacon to the mariners of every
nation W no come to this continent. In the
glowing language OF the circular issued bv
the committee having the matter in charge,
" At night Il luminous aureola projected
from TIE head will radiate on the far flow
ing waves of the ocean, This is certainly
a very graceful tribute from France, and
should be responded to in the same spirit
with which it is offered

JOAQUIN MILLER Joaquin Miller. who
took IN amazing fancy to the President,
when he saw him at Long Branch. last
summer, sent him an invitation to his lee
ture in Washington on LITERARY London :
Saturday evening. and Grant went to hear
him. Miller didn't tone down his lecture
at all, however, on account of his presence.
In advocating the employment of literary
men by the government, he culogized
Motley, but spoke of his successor rs
that man Schenck," the author of a very
small book The poets idea of good
president was a literary genius instead of
a politician. and with Grant right before
him, he nominated Henry w. Long
fellow and J. Lothrop Motley as rival CEN
tenrial candidates for the presidency.

LAPAIzE INDIcTED.-Thc grand jury at
Concord, on Thursday, indicted Joseph La
paize, the Frenchman, for the murder OF
Josie Langmaid at Pembroke. The evil
dence that has been made public against
Lapaize is not by any means strong. and
probably would not have great weight be-
fore a petit jury, but it is hoped that there
is some convincing testimony that is not
yet known beyond the detectives and the
grand jury. The attendance Of specta-
tors ut the court house was very large
The Indictment was for murder in tho first
degree, and contained six counts. Lalaze
entered in custody of the officers, and was
conducted to the dock. At first he stared
about the room and appeared bewldered,
but he soon recovered himself and put on
an Indifferent air. He sat generally quiet,
excepting that he would brush his long
hair from his forehead, or work his hand
cuffs with his fingers.
Lapaize stood while the Indictment was
read, and responded in quite good English,
g Not guilty" Samuel B. Page of Con-
cord was ass 9ned rs the prisoners coun-
sci. When Lapaize was conducted from
the court room to the carriage which was
in waiting to carry him back to the Jail. he
was followed by large crowd of specta-
tors, but there was no disorder. 1t is pos
sible that Lapaizes trial will occur at an
adjourned term of the court in January.
The work of investigating the case will
continue till the time of the trial. 1t is
said that detective Dearborn and officer
| Ifildreth will engage in looking up the
Ball murder at St. Adams. One Of tho
razor's found in Lapaize's house, when
searched, was bloody razor, which he
accounted for by saying that he cut his
face when shaving.

Bret Hartc's new novel, Gabriel Con
roy which is at last completed, and care
fully guarded in the publishers safe. calls
forth the highest anticipations in literary
circles. 1t will be begun as a serial in the
November number of Scribncrs Magazine
without illustrations, for it is said TO he
graphic beyond need of them, and full of
incident. The story takes its title, Ca
briel Conroy,' from its hero. Il simple
gsod-hcarted, honest old miner, of a tvne
somewhat different from that of his il1ns-
trlous predecessors in Mr.lIalte's writings.
Several familiar friends, nevertheless. Re-
new old acquaintance, among them Colonel
Starbottle. The story is wholly in Mr.
llarte's original field, and is said to fulfil
as novel the promise of his very best
tales. The opening is pronounced. by
critics who have had access to the mani.
script, TO be very powerful; it is terrible
picture of starving camp. and from this
start the story is said to hold the reader
with an almost uncomfortable grip. SEEING
that he has to wait month by month .

While the Democrats in Washington are
discussing the Speakership, the Republic
cans are comparing notes in regard to the
most available candidate for the Pre,i-
dencv next fall There seems to be Il gen
eral opinion that the nominee must be Il
Western man-at least that IS the talk at
present among politicians. Moreover. the
candidate must be one against whom no
animositics are felt Some OHIO men talk
of Hayes. and there is strong party in
favor of nominating Chief Justice Waite,
whom Grant is said to approve rs \ cand-
date. There are several prominent South
ern Republicans working in his interest
for the nonce. Blaine, Conkling and Wash

is no telling on whom the gossip may turn
