THE scoundrels Of the Democratic
and Independent" press are at pre-
sent INDUCING their pencbant for ly-
ing with a r~ecklessEess hitherto IN.
paralelled, and a shamelessness born
Of their own innate depravity. Ever
since the commencement Of the trials
Of the cases against the whiskey ring
thieves these arrant knaves have
been daily charging completely 10 the
frauds against whatsoever official
their malignity prompted them to IL
bel. Thus, the President, his broth
er, his son, Secretary Bristow, ex-
Commissioner Douglass, Senators
Morton and Logan, Brooks, the great
detective who worked up the cases,
and at least q score Of others less
conspicuous but not less worthy men,
have, day by day, been charged,
some explicitly, others by inuendo,
with participation in these frauds,
without any cause, even the slightest,
whereOn to base the imputation. Such
a foul cloud Of SANDER and villiics
ton has never before been spread
over the land, and il looks as if the
rsscally authors of it had, by a con
certed plan, determined, if possible,
to crush under a modntain Of lies all
against whom they have whetted
their devilish malignancy.

One Of wheeler * Wilson . GreaI
Ruildings Destroyed.

New York, December IA fire
broke out in the Wheeler & Wilson
Sewing Machine Cabinet Company's
shops, at Bridgeport. about 6 O'Clock,
last evening. 1t was confined to the
building in which it originated. At
half-psst 8 the fire began to diminish,
and at 8 the walls fronting on Penn
broke street fell, knocking down at
least a dozen persons, two of whom
cannot survive. At ii O'Clock the
buildings were a heap of ruins. The
loss of the Wheeler & Wilson Com
pany, on buildings and stock, is esti-
mated at $500, 600, on which there is
an insurance of $316, 900. The loss
Of the Sewing Machine Cabinet Com
pany will not probably be less than
500, 900.
The buildings burned are those
formerly occupied by the Wheeler Il
Wilson Company. The new build
ings OF this company, erected about
seven years ago, were not burned.
About 200 skilled mechanics are
thrown out of employment by the
confagration, which is the mos,
serious that has occurred IN that city
for years.
