Of a Church During

Burning OF a Church During
Services.
The most terrible disaster in the his
tory of Holyoke, Massachusetts,, occur
red on the night of the 9th instant, in
the burning of the French Catholic
Church at South Holyoke during the
evening service, involving the loss of
a number of men, women and children.
Seventy-one were burned to death, and
forty were more or less burned and
otherwise injured. The church was
built in 1870, and was 100 by 60 feet,
two stories high, and built entirely of
pine. The exercises had nearly closed,
and a vesper service was being sung,
when the draperies on the altar caught
fire from a candle, and the wall being
low and the flames streaming up the
building was set on fire. The audience
numbered about seven hundred. The
scene is said 60 have been fearful and
most distressing during the burning of
the church, and the screams of the dense
struggling to escape could be heard
quite a distance. A man who lost his
wife and daughter is reported insane.

THE ceremonies connected with the eX-
altation of Archbishop McCloskey to be a
Cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church
are exhausted The New York newspa-
pers have enjoyed a feast in the way of at
tractive reports of the proceedings and com
mandatory editorials, including a descrip-
ton of the presentation from a number of
friends and acceptance ola carriage by this
new Prince of the Church, in consideration
of his prominence as an American citizen.
Not single journalistic voice was raised
against this acceptance, although numbers
of them who Joined this chorus of praise,
sang different tune not long ago when the
same thing happened to President Grant
No doubt Cardinal McCloskey is entitled
TO all the recognition he has received at the
hands of his friends, admirers and CO. work
ers; but we suggest that the difference be-
tween his receiving present of that kind
and the President doing the same thing,
will not obtain quick Judgment in the aver
age American intellect, while the different
treatment bestowed upon the two incidents
by the journals referred to, will strike every
one as something akin to inconsistency. In
other words, when a prelate receives a
present it is all right; but when the Gene
raj Of our armies, to whom the people feel
grateful because he rescued the country
from the peril of civil war, is rendered a
similar compliment, it is all wrong

Ex-Gov. DENNIsoN, Commissioner of
the District, is now in Ohio, and has been
subjected TO the interviewing process by
the Cincinnati Commercial. Its Columbus
correspondent writes 10 that paper as fol-
lows:
Governor Dennison, whom 1 happened to
meet on High street, and who turned aside
with q courteous assent at my request for an
interview on the prevailing topic, did not ap-
pear to be laboring under an overwhelming
sense of the prominence or importance of the
Third Term question. The Ex-Governor is at
home for brief interval of respite from his
Official duties as one of the Commissioners of
the District of Columbia, and since his arrival
q week or more agO-has been so occupied
with his personal business affairs that he didn't
appear at first to comprehend the extent to
which the Third Term question has engaged
the attention of the press in Ohio during the
past fortnight or more. To a question as to
the policy of incorporating an anti Third Term
plank in the platform of the 81 of June con-
vention, Governor Dennison replied that he had
not considered the question as assuming any
such practical shape as to call for any formal
expression of opinion about it. He had heard
nothing, either in his intercourse with Presi-
dent Grant or in the remarks of those who
are nearest to the President, to lead him to
suppose that he sought or desired or expected
q nomination for a third term. The Governor
said so far as he had been able to Judge, Gen.
cral Grant was vexed by the Third Term talk
when II commenced, and regarded it as an in
vention in certain quarters TO annoy him. In
this view he supposed the President had deter
mined upon policy of entire silence about it,
and 'sas YOU know he is credited with being 4
pretty stubborn man, he has adhered to that
policy"
Question. But, Governor, what will be the
effect Of going into a campaign with the public
mind agitated, as it seems to be, upon this
question, and with a number of leading news
papers treating it as an issue!
Governor Dennison. OF course that state of
things must be considered. From what have
seeD, and the impression derived from my &C
uuaintance with the President, and with those
about him, members of his Cabinet, and others,
did not regard the question as one assuming
any importance at all, and in that view could
see 10 reason for the convention adopting any
resolution that would appear like gratuitous
reflection on the President. 1t is important
that the Republicans have the advantage of
harmony and good feeling all around. Now,
might If not be natural for the Presidents per-
sonal friends,to regard such resolution as a
reflection upon him! l don't mean by his
friends merely such persons as have been ap-
pointed to Office by him, but men who take in
terCst in the Republican party. The President
has many friends of this class, assure you,
and whilG it will undoubtedly be for the in
terest of the Republican party to speak out
sincerely on any living issue in which the peo-
pie take an interest, there is no reason why
needless offense should be given.

Now WE MAY expect to hear wonderful
tales about District improvements again.
The "labor strike, so-called, which tenn
porarily interfered with the progress Of the
small amount of work now being done on
our streets, will be heralded TO the four cor
ners by the telegraphers of the Detective
press as evidence Of the tyrannical and cor
rupt practices of a ''ring" of contractors.
OF course there must be ring at the bot
tom of the matter. The Detective press
could not exist without ring of some kind
against which to direct its assaults; but the
truth is, the motive which prompted the
interruption was far from reputable and
anything else than a desire or design to &C
complish the usual objects. of labor strike.
Some of the contractors, knowing that en-
ployment is scarce and labor plenty, have
paid for work done on their jobs low rates
of wages. To this the mob objected, and,
whether the matter was sanctioned by any
regular labor organization or not, proceeded
with some array of force TO induce the
cheap laborers TO abandon their work. The
contractors did not object, and the services
of the police were not required, although
detail from the force was present to pre-
serve order and repress violence. Briefly
told, the affair amounted to nothing more
than sporadic effort of unthinking and
unreasonable men to initiate vicious ex-
ample In q few instances the laborerS
Joined the procession of strikers; but their
places were instantly supplied by others
anxious 10 secure employment, thus show
ing that this great conflict between labor
and capit1I," IS it will no doubt be charac-
terized, was in fact mere sham. 1t may
be true that the rates of wages paid are in
some cases very low; but it is also true
that, low as they are, there are numbers of
unemployed men who are willing to work
for them. Let those who are inclined to
find fault with this condition of affairs re-
member that the responsibility rests solely
with the Opposition grumblers, who now
pretend to lie their friends, but who during
the last session Of Congress were instru-
mental in preventing the enactment Of laws
to advance the material interests of the
community

ALAS! Vice President Wilson has found
his tongue again, shaken the reefs out of it
and Joined Judge Kelley's party. A few
weeks ago he participated in a centennial
celebration of an Abolition organization at
Philadelphia, and a few days ago found his
way to the bedside of ex-Yice President
and ex-rebel General Breckenridge, at the
latters home in Kentucky. Meanwhile he
found time to talk; and the burden of his
speech rested upon the conundrum which
is ever the text of his thought; who do
you think will be our next Presidents"
Some one ought to crafty the curiosity of
this old gentleman by answering that it
will not be man who is so "unanimous"
as to be at home in Massachusetts, as well as
in Pennsylvania and Kentucky.
National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1875-05-04

As the Democratic and Detective Press
are greatly worried about the next Republi-
can ticket, and have scarcely any time to
devote to the consideration of their own
party necessities in the same line, perhaps
a suggestion or two from their Republican
contemporaries upon that subject might be
acceptable. 1t seems to be pretty we'll un-
derstood that the great Northwest will de-
mand that the next Democratic candidate
shall be taken from that section. Carl
Schurz, who, perhaps, might nave been
considered their strongest card with the
German and Liberal element if the Consti-
tuition could have been amended in time
to admit the eligibility Of a person Of
foreign birth, is, of course, out of the ques-
ton. But there are left Old Governor
Allen, Gentleman George II. Pendleton
and Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio; Thos. Il.
Hendricks, Dan W. Voorhees,, VIM. E.
Niblack and VIM. S. Holman, of Indiana;
to say nothing of Bogy and Phelps, of Mis-
souri,, and S. S. Marshall, Lyman Trum-
bull and Judge Davis, of Illinois, to choose
from. So there is no reason to despond.
Besides this they have the assurance of
that spacious statesman and politician,
Hon. Fernando Wood, that nothing cln
"beat the Democratic party in 1876. They
will return to power if the whole news
"paper press should be against them. "
This fact settled, the selection of a candi-
date would seem to be made easy. 1t is
only left to select the best man to carry
out the principle of the party. We use the
singular number advisedly, for it must be
confessed that there is but one sentiment,
not TO say principle, upon which the party
is united. They agree only in opposition to
the present Republican Administration.
This is the platform upon which the fight
is to be made 1t is fight really for spOIls.
And upon this platform they expect the
aid Of large sprinkting Of disafected Re-
publicans. In order, however, to make a
show of a policy opposite to that of the
Republicans the leading spirits have de-
termined to select candidates who are pro-
nounced infationists. OF course, this cuts
off Thurman and strengthens Gov. Hen
bricks TO q point of almost certain selec-
tion. This doctrine of initiation is, just
now, epidemic all over the South, and is
exceedingly popular in the West. 1t is
believed that either Hendricks or VoOr-
bees both of whom are personally popular
and have seen much public service but
