out this evening at $50 Grand street
which proved the most destructive for
years. The fire burned through the en-
tire block bounded by Grand, Howard,
Broadway and Crosby streets, destroying
altogether about thirty buildings. The
loss Is estimated at four and hall
million dollars. Five buildings on Broad

except No. l25, where the FIRE broke out.
Two fremen, David Clute, foreman, and
John II. Bush, assistant, were killed by
the falling Of the walls. At one time it
was feared that the heart Of the city
would burn. There was a great crowd
and much excitement. the fire was
completely under control by 1880.

End OF the Impeachment Trial
The Acquittal Of Bennett'

We present in this issue Of the INTEL
LroEScER the last chapter in the daily
record Of the Impeachment proceedings
that have been in progress since the 18th
Of January last at so much expense 10
the State.
The Auditor, unlike his eoke.fellow,
,bs late Treasurer, has been acquitted,
bpt hi, escape is SO exceedingly narrow
tba, he has scarcely any reason to con-
rra,ula,e himself on the very slight vari-
s,ion in the result. The vote Of Is SEN
a,ors, tho requisite number save one to
convict, is certainly verdict that, in the
ewes of the people, will be tuntamOunt
to conviction.
Ia addition to the verdict on the third
article, thus rendered.. twelve Senators,
one half the entire body, voted that the
Auditor had sought to make corrupt
bargain with Isaac n. Smith, Prcsident q
the First National Bank Of Charleston.
In trial at law, when a man puts him
.elio tho country before jury Of l2 men,
their verdict seals his fate. The case is
no, morally different where l2 jurora in
a court OF impeachment pronounce
man guilty Of corruption in Office. II the
verdict Of i2 men is sufficient to send II
man 10 the gullows or the pcnitentiary,
why should it not send him to social and
political coventry the balance Of his
days?
No one can doubt that Mr.. Bennett
owes his escape, II indeed such wosd as
escape is.eyen technically applicable to
hi, sorry come Of, to the fact that his late
comraIc was tried frat, and not only
tried but convicted. This is tho real ex-
planation OF the failure Of the Court to
convict the Auditor instead Of the Treas
urer. |. was case Of making distinc-
ton where there was no essential differ
ence. Indeed, taking into account the
matter Of actual loss suffered by the State,
it is by no means certain, after all, that it
is not the little ish that has been caught
and skinned, while the big one has escaped
through loop-hole in the net.

acy in 1871.
Mr.. Porter was glad that the gentleman
so frankly declared that Mr.. Babcock was
not connected with the Megrue con-
spiracy, but Is it fair for the govern
ment to turn an indictment charging the
intention TO make illicit spirits in 1874
into an excuse to go back to a conspiracy,
with which itis admitted he had no con.
nection, TO convict him. The court said
that as we understand II the inquiry Of
the Witness is as to what took place in
1872 and it is objected on the ground that
the conspiracy Of 1872 was ended in that
year and is not connected with the con-
spiracy charged in the indictment. The
counsel stated in the opening that the con-
spiracy with which the defendant is
alleged to have been connected COM
menced in 1871 and extended to 1875.
Colonel Broadhead says that the
government has no evidence to
show the completely OF the defendant
in 1871 or 1872. II it were fact that
the conspiracy ended in 1879, we should
hold it irrelevant to admit anything fur
ther concerning that time. But II Is not
admitted that the conspiracy ended then.
Mr.. Thompson used language which seems
10 intimate that the conspiracy ended
then, but that is view Of it from his
standpoint at present, We think you had
better direct your attention not SO much
to the conspiracy in 1871 and 1872 as to
1873 and 1874. II we can see when the
testimony is all in that the conspiracy in
1871 and 1872 is not a part Of the con.
spiracy alleged in the indictment, and
that the defendant is not connected with
the conspiracy in 1871 and 1872, then we
can act on the testimony already present.
ed and rule it out.
The court then adjourned.
The Hon. E. C. Breastly, OF Washing
ton, one Of Gen.. Babcock's counsel, has
been SO indisposed since his arrival here
that he has not appeared in the case and
left for home tonight.
