"A disastrous fire occurred in Darien, Ca,
on the 18th inst, destroying number of stores
and printing office The loss is 100000;
insurance $4,000. This is the third fire there
within the last six months, supposed to be the
work of negro incendiaries.
- The Edgefeld Advertiser says that times
in Edgefeld, politically and otherwise, are still
profoundly quiet. The militia guns are nearly
all surrendered to the proper authorities -
White people are manfesting a very kindly
spirit to the blacks, and we neither see or hear
of suffering negroes.
A fire occurred in Camden on Saturday
morning last, which resulted in the loss of if-
teen or twenty thousand dollars, upon which
there was no insurance. A fre-proof building
checked the fames or there would have been
a much greater confagration. The origin of
the fire is not known
- The Radicals of New Hampshire are warm
ing up to the fact that the second Tuesday in
March is the day on which they are to vote for
State officers and members of Congress. The
present Representatives, all of whom are Ad-
ministrationists, are fully aware Of the danger
impending, and are putting forth their strong
est efforts to secure greater interest among
their somewhat apathetic followers.

in Congress: "Ostensibly Republican caucus
considers plans for protecting the negro in the
South in reality it considers how it can carry
the elections in the Southern States and in
these two points are all the policy of the domi-
nant party-how to- carry the elections; how
to get Offices and distribute plunder, and how
to make the maneuvres contrived for this end
seem like movements taken to secure the rights
of an oppressed people,"
- The President frankly illustrated his ig-
norance, and explained the philosophy of his
strange Arkansas message, when he said to
prominent Republican "If the present gov
ernment in Arkansas is allowed to stand, Mis-
sissippi may in short time change her consti-
tuition and fling out Governor Ames. Other
States may follow in the same direction under
this precedent. AS soon as Congress adjourns
they may change their State governments, and
the whole South may be lost to the party in
the next election" This is the whole matter
| in nutshell.
- The Charleston News and Courier records
the death of Mr. George S. Cameron, one of the
most active and useful citizens of Charleston,
which occurred on Sunday afternoon last, after
brief illness, in the 59th year of his age. He
was native of Scotland, and was gifted with a
large share of shrewd, practicle common sense
Since the war Mr.. Cameron has been prOmi-
nently connected with railroad and banking
interests, and was mainly instrumental in es-
tablishing the South Carolina Loan and Trust
Company, of which he was President at the
time of his death, managing its affairs with
marked success.

CLOTHING, in latest spring styles, at
Welch g. McMillen's.

DEMOCRATIC Co. A
call for county Convention, headed
as above, appears in the Democrat
this week, signed by G. w. Crozier,
Chm Dem. and Cen. Conn.,, G. M"
The day named for the Convention is
June 18th, place, Knoxville, object to
select delegates to the Democratic
State Convention.
The A. M. appended to Mr.. Crozier's
signature is supposed to mean Anti
Monopoly. Whether the M. G. means
Member of Congress or something else,
is the conundrum.
Now do you see how nicely the
trap has been laid to catch the Anti
Monopoly party of this county and
transfer it to Democratic control.
The willy Democracy managed to Sc
cure the appointment of the same
man as chairman of the Democratic
and the Autobiography Central Com
mittees; and now he makes official
call upon the Ants to rally in a DEM
ocratic convention. He is the official
head Of the Autobiography party in
the county, but doesn't see fit to call
an Autobiography Convention. Oh,
No! That was not in the programme.
The Democratic cat in the meal tub
has jumped out, and the farmers who
gave their support to the A. NJ. tick
ct with the assurance of honest Sena-
tor Mccormack that the Democratic
party was dead played out" and
that there was mot enough of
1t left in Marion county to patch the
seat Of the trowsers of Court House
rat" find that he has sold them out to
Democracy.
The predictions made by the JOUR-
NAL two years ago, and last year, that
the Autobiography movement was
merely Democratic thimble-rig
trick, by which farmers were being
deceived, have proven true. Now we
shall see how many of the sold can be
delivered over to the support of De-
mocracy straight.

THE MARYsvIILE MINER, during
the past three months, while the most
important negotiations have been In
PROGRESS, and subscriptions to the
amount Of nearly 100000 have been
given to build railroad close by its
town and right through it's immense
coal fields, has given its readers
scarcely an aggregate of three columns
in reference to the road and all the
vast interests connected with it. And
now when the contract is made and
signed, and work has com menced, and
the road is assured within few brief
weeks, its issue Of last Thursday says:
With regard to railroad matters
we cannot give our readers any news
of importance"
Conundrum-What would the Miner
consider news iof importance Its
name suggests devotion to the mining
interests of it's locality, and the only
thing that can develop those mex
haustible mines of coal is a railroad
outlet. Could ship canal, half
dozen railroads, hundred manu- fac
turing establishments, thousand coal
miners and as many thunderbolts all
tumbling into town in a day startle
the Miner or supply it with local
news item that would be considered
important?
No unfriendly feeling toward the
Miner prompts the above, as our oft
repeated kindly words will testify.
There is no town of its size in Iowa
more blessed with active, generous,
public-spirited people than is Marys-
Vile; and no town is located in the
midst of such wealth of undeveloped
mineral resources. Wehope that hence
forth the Miner will write up with
its old-time energy these local advan-
tages, and when the A. X. & d. rail-
road is built, that the Miners generous
patrons will hear of it through the
columns of their town paper.
