Senator Thomas f. Bayard. of Delaware,
made speech at Raleigh, N. c., Saturday
night 10 response to a serenade. He did not
enter into partisan politics, but asked the peo-
pie OF North Carolina to act upon the principle
that party trickery was not politics, but that
duty and country was next to devotion to God.
He wanted the men of the South united, not
Tor Southern preponderance or Southern con-
troll, but to secure the first great principle of a
happy union-tlc equality of the States. He
urged the people of North Carolina to cultivate
good will between the sections, and hoped the
people of all the States would do likewise He
was escorted to the train with music and an
Immense crowd of citiza ems. The town was illu-
minated 10 his honor.

FAIRFAX {. H., Oct. Is, 1875. The Meth

destroyed by fire yesterday. The fire, it is
supposed, originated through defective chin

pipe from the stove entered This iufcts heavy
loss upon the church organization as we'll as lu-
convenience TO the people generally, as the
destruction ofthis building leaves but one (Epis-
copal) church building 10 the village. During
the war the brick church Of this denomination,
standing near the same site, was pulled down

building quarters; when, after the war, her
friends Went to work, aud by subscriptions and
