The Republican Nomination

The nomination of Gov. HAYES
for President by the Republican
party ut Cincinnati WIS a surprise
to all ,probably including himself;
Blaine was regarded as the strong
est candidate by odds, and Couk-
ling was understood to be the
choice of Grant. The terrible and
overwhelmingly disclosures recently
made concerning the character Of
the former had by no means DIES
troyed his strength, and the coun
try looked OH aghast at the spec
tacle OF II proved corruptiouist
leading in the race for the White
House as the struggle went on,
however, the conviction seems to
have grown that it was necessary
to defer to the popular demand
for nominees whose record was
good, and this conviction was fatal
to the chances of Blaine, Morton
and ConHling the former was
already i'll the tolls of detected
guilt +; the two last have ever been
devoted adhcrents of the Admins
tratlon and their defeat is a power
tul rebuke to its poiicv. and a
proof that the masses Of the peO
pie are weaiied with its endless
scandals and mistakes. Blaine and
Motion thought they saw in vitu
peratlOn OF the South the means
which would achieve the end of
election to the Presidency the
result shows that they miscalcu
lated the virulrnce Of the North.
aud that the odious light in which
they exhibited themselves as i'll
damers of SECTIONAL hate mas had
but the effect of recoillng on them
selves. Taken altogether, the
nomination OF Hayes indicates
that the better portion OF the
Republican party has regained
ascendanc.y, but that does not
alter the fact that even this Dor
ton falls far short of the demand
OF honest Americans.

Disastrous Fire in Houma

Last Sunday night about II
O'Clock IA fire was discovered in q
vacant building owned and recent
~ repaired by Bernard Mayer: it
had gained such Roadway that it
detied all efforts at control, and it
was soon evident that other build
lnss would be sacrificed: the store
of Mr. Dupont Was next attacked
and from there the fire spread
to the adjoining premises. The f.
nal result being that eight large
buildings, with outhouses. etc,
were destroyed. \ high wind pre-
vailed at the time and a more ok
trn>ive conflagration was prevent
ed only Ivy the strenuous efforts
OF the iiremen aided by a number
OF the citizens. The fact that the
tire originated in Il vacant build
ing was i'll itself suspicious and
many noticed that there was y
strong smell of coal oil at first :
suspicion at once attached to j.
n. StarneS, a timer. formerly
owner OF the house, which was
forfeited tor taxes aud bought By
Mayer; he was heard to Say,tliat
morning, that Mayer should never
profit hy the purchase, and Enos
lil!amS, who first discovered the
glare OF the fire, met him on the
street, and Oh inquiry WAS inform
ed where the fire was by him /: a
coiored woman living on the canal
testified that she overheard
StarneS and "a workman emplDyed
by him allnde to the lob" they
had done +; these facts were elicj
ted at an examination held by a
committee composed of seven
White aud seven cOlored men held
on Monday evening.
The crowd seemed bent hano
ing Starnes immediately after the
fire, but more moderate cOunsels
prevailed, and, though it was
thought that he would be eyeru
ted 1t the finding of the committee
was against him, we are GLAD TO
state that he will be handed over
TO the law to determine his guilt.
