The tug Cache, destroyed by fire
night before last, belonged to Halliday
Brothers, and was OH duty for one night
towing coal to steamers while some
slight repairs were being made to the
machinery of the tug Montauk.
After waiting upon the Ella, the
engineer laid down on the Montauh,
near by, leaving the colored fireman to
watch. He says he was in the engine room
when he discovered the whole pilot h ousc
| in flames. The Cache was built by Walker
| Il Ncllis little over three years ago and,
completed, cost about 5000. She was
not insured.
Captain 4. NJ. Dougherty, of the
Louisville tow-boat line, to which the tug
Laurel belongs, was here yesterday.
The Laurel towed the Green Line
wharfboat to Mound City yesterday,
where she will be taken out on the ways
and thoroughly ovcrhaulcd and repaired.
She belongs to the Mobile and Ohio rail-
road, and will be used at Columbus, Ken

Captain General Valmessda-


The "Cuban Pscifcatorp Is at his old game
again. II he cannot conquer the rebels he can
levy on the merchants of Havans, and he GER
ainly makes them bleed In q manner worthy
Of master butcher. Many months ago VAL
maseda left Havana with much blowing Of
trumpets to exterminate the "bands" led by
Maxine Gomez across the famous Trocha.
Not vestage of the unfortunate Cuban
forces would be left save the little bits
into which they were to be chopped BY the
Spanish machetes, when Valmaseda the terri
Bile moved forward on the warpath. Such
at least were the promises of the official Span
ish journals; but somehow the chopping up
never took place, and Maxine Gomez and his
lieutenants move about the villas much as
they please and make It rather hot now and
then for Valmaseda and his valiant men. Like
other famous warriors, Valmaseda " Sen Va-t-
en- 6uerre;" but the difference is that he
comes back with great frequency and always
in need of pocket money. We wonder how
long the Spanish merchants of Havana will
submit to this farce. 1t is bad enough to be
governed by tyrant, but It requires some pa
tience to submit to the exactions of a poltroon
and brigand.

number of Good Templars; five circles Of
the Brotherhood Of the Union; four Tenn

lean Fishermen, &C., constitute an

Unions, the Schuetzen and Turner
associations, the national associations,
like st. Andrews Society and the
Swiss Gruetli Verein, with the musical
and literary associations, gather at their
meetings large number of our most use
ful citizens.
This rapid summary would be an incom-
plete portraiture of Washington-societies if
it did not meation the once most active 8.
F. P. G. A., whose efforts prevent
cruelty to dumb brutes, but often
awake the anger of brutes that are
not dumb. Nor should any notice
of social life in Washington omit
the Washington National Monument ST.
ciety, nor pass over in silence,-ala how
soon silence will lay its finger on their now
talkative lips-the Association of the Oldest
Inhabitants Of the District of Columbia.
We have not mentioned the one hundred
and fifty churches, MOI. the associations
which cluster around them, making in all
at least seven hundred religious societies.
Of course, the influence of these associ.
stions upon the community of which they
form part must be immense. MANY of
them, however, which have special objects,
counteract each other. George Savage and
the Dashaways splinter their spears in
vain at the armor Of George Juenemann,
and the Liquor Dealers Association. The
Trades Union meet the Employers Asso-
citation in its way and no association comes
out to war for its ideas that does not find a
foeman worthy of its steel
These societies, however, are all of them
excellent schools. Men learn here what
perhaps, they would never learn elsewhere
as weIl-the responsibilities of delegated
power and the need of welding authority
in obedience to law. The discussions of
constitutions and bylaws, the decisions
of appeals, and the whole practical
working of these organizations, is to
fit men for the better discussion
of their duties as American citizens. They
are often the training schools of men who
are destined, at some day, to do the State
good service. Their increase and diffusion
is sign of the health of the community.
1t may be well, however, to remember that
those societies which meet oftenest, and
make the largest show in the newspapers,
are not the most useful or the most influen-
tial.- The talk of foolish speaker is often
reported for the same reason that the old
Spartans caused their drunken slaves to ex-
hibit their foolish antics in public-to warn
freemen not to make such fools of them
selves.

Mr.. William q. McC ardle, who Is editor
Of The Vseksonrg Herald, and prominent can
didate for United States Senator from Tennes-
see, makes this suggestion for the securing of
home for Mr.. jefferson Davis " have
authentic information that there are 675 sub
ordinate Oranges in the State, with an average
membership of trlfie over so, and an aggre-
gate membership Of IS, ,000i If each of those
675 subordinate Oranges win contribute six
bales Of cotton-which is less than q bale TO
eight members-we shall have an ag-
gregate of over 1000 bales, which at
present prices viii realize the sum of
100000. This will furnish comfortable
home for our grand old patriot and his family,
and leave for investment sum, the interest
upon which will be ample for the future sup
port of Mr.. Davis and his family, and the
proper education Of his children" This is a
grand and humane idea. Build the old gen.
tleman home. Build It away back In the
Interior of the State, where all will be quiet
and undisturbed by human strife or politics,
and there let the venerable, silver-haired man
retire and while away the remaining days Of
his existence, engaged in agricultural pursuits
and silent reflections on the widespread ruin
that he wrought.

OUR WAsHINaToN soCIETIEs.

A notable feature of life in Washington,
common, however, to all the cities of the
Union, is the large number of associations
which gather in the various meeting rooms
of the city, day after day, and night after
night. These are organized to promote
almost every imaginable object. Many of
them are antipodes in design one being
established to forward movement that
the other is organized to counteract yet
they are all organized in substantially the
same form. Some are secret; others open.
Some are plain in garb, others richly de-
corated in regalia. Some are industrial,
others for promoting sport. Some are re-
Ggious, others secular. Yet all have,
under one form OF another, the same
essential organism. and with either a plain
or fanciful sppellation. All of them choose
officers corresponding to president, vice
president secretary and treasurer, and
there are few. perhaps none, in which the
general parliamentary law does not govern
their deliberations. It has been said that
if handful of Anglo-Saxon people were
thrown upon an island cut off from the rest
of the world, their first proceedings would
be to hold meeting, elect president and
a secretary, and thence evolve govern
ment with executive, legislative and judi
cial departments,
All who know the character ofour people
will recognize this as an evident fact.
Throughout the continent Of Europe popu-
lations often show themselves quite equal
to the task oftearing down, but seldom ex-
hibit capacity to build up. This con-
structive habit, come from what ancestry It !
may, is as constantly operating in an Ameri- /
can city as are the laws Of ofvegetab,e growth
in an American forest. 1t is pleasant
task to note the similarities. A project is
formed here and terminates into a social
body like the Knights of Pythias or the
Jonadabs. (both Washington male organ
and soar like the bird-seed
that is distributed by adheriny 20 pass
ing objec.-a winged seed that the wind
carries and the rain plants miles away.
These organizations repeat themselves on
the river side and by the mountains, each
new lodge being faithful copy Of the
original at Washington. In like manner,
we get here similar or dissimilar organiza-
lions from otherplaces, until, as has already
been said, the gayel of the president be-
comes in peace what the sword of the
captain is in war, and hundreds of men
are drilled nightly in the ways Of peaceful
progress by fits raps.
We have in this District some twenty
Masonic organizations some twenty-three

THE New York Tribune advises the
Republican State Convention, to be held at
Saratoga next week, to thank Democratic
Governor Tilden for his campaign against
"the Canal Ring" This would be some-
thing like the cherubims and seraphims
giving thanks to some imp who has
dared to complain Of his Satanic Majesty's
rule. But Tilden paid Whitelaw Reid
$50, 900 as a bribe to secure the support of
