and his success, in the administration OF the
affairs of tic government, as well as yours,
that there should be sincere cooperation
between people and President, aud il Wis
dom shall govern the people OF the South, an
era OF smiling peace and Astounding prosper,
ity will dawn upon them. We have had
enough OF strife and coutc ntion. We have
had enough OF modern Democracy, which
means prejudice and duplcity, and section
alism, and bad faith to national obliga-
tious. Let us try something else. let us
meet Cos. Hayes upon the platform hc pre-
scnts to rs, and unite our endcaYors with his
in lifting the atiiuent and genial and lovely
South from the depths Of poverty and despair
in which the miserable politicians have
plunged her.
We have struggled and commended stcrnly
and sometimes aggressigely, and almost
alone, against the blind prejudices OF our own
section and people. We have been honest
in this effort. We have been misjudged and
slandered and prescribed and prosecuted be-
cause OF our declared sentiments. We have
| faith that the time is not far distant when
the policy we have pursued and rccommen-
dcd, will be fully indicated. We believe the
administration of Gov. Hayes will give new
| life and new impulse to the South, and es-
| pecially Virginia, and that it will not be
| twelve months before the people themselves
will realize that their own interests are init
mately identified with the national feelings

The democratic leaders are making dies
perate efforts to create popular sentiment in
favor OF Tlden's claims to the Presidency and
their own conspiracy to affect that end.
They propose TO have convention OF the
trading politicians from each of the States
on the sth Of January to pass inflamatory
resolutions and threaten treason. They will
find that the great mass OF the people will
give them 10 sympathy, and that the re-
spor Sc they will get will only be from the
office seekers. The people Ct Virginia begil i.
to see the old spirit and plots Of '6O-'6l.
They will have no part in them, and cannot
be precipitated into revolution by the adven-
turers who have nothing at stake and moth
ing to lose. The solid people--the substan-
tial classes OF the community-tlo not regard
the election Of Hayes as cause for civil war,
and will lend no aid or comfort to the dcspi-
caple consplrators who would again plunge
the country into revolution and bloody strife,
for their selfish end.

FEARFUL CALAMITY.

BURNING OF A THEATER-THREE HUN
DRIED AND FIFTY PERSONS CONSUMED
A FEARFUL CALAMITY.
The Brooklyn Theater, which tsok fire at
ll:l5 O'Clock on Tuesday night week.
during the performance of the .Two Or
phans." was burned to the ground, notwlth-
standing the efforts Of the entire Fire Depart
ment. Fire Marshal Ready, who has made
an exhaustive examination of the circum-
stances attending the fire. is Of the opinion
that at least three hundred and fifty persons
persons persisted in the flames. The fire was
caused by drop scene coming in contact
with one Of the border lights. Miss ClaNton,
Mrs. NJ. A. Farren, Mr.. Murdoch, and
Mr.. Studley, stepped to the front OF the
stage and requested the petple to DC quiet.
Almost in the same breath one OF the actors
who had urged the audience to remain in
their seats. called wildly to the people COM
manding them to flv for their lives. Miss
Claxton Jumped into the-auditorium, and es-
capped through the main ENTRANCE, Mrs. Far
rem got out through passage-Way under the
stage, and Mr.. Stvdley does not know how
he saved himself. There was one thousand
two hundred persons III the house. The re-
ceipts of the top gallery were ale0, the price
of admission being % cents. Not more than
fifty of these escaped. One man who was
in the upper gallery. testified that IN less
than tiyc minutes after the fire was seen ON
the stage the flames had reached completely
across the house. The first body was taken
out at 4 o'clock Wednesday.morning. Until
daybreak it was not discovered that any con
siderable number Of people had lost their
lives. The scenes of terrible excitement wit
messed in the neighborhood OF the doomed
theater and the Morgue were heartrendng.
A few minutes before midnight the bodies OF
Mr.. Murdoch and Mr.. Burroughs were found
under the stage. They were not removed
to the Morguc. The testimony taken by Fire
Marshal Ready tends to show that large
majority Of the people who have persisted
we're sntfocated while struggling In the mar
row passare-way leading out of the top gal
lery, But few Of those who occupied seats
in the lover part Of the house were injured.
The loss on the theater and adjoining build

broke out, testified that if he had had at hand

: Col. Mosby rronoun ces a statement, pub
lished in the Baltimore Gazette, to the effect
that the Pre- sdent had told him that he in
tended to give him command to protect the
Capitol, and assist in the Inauguration
of Hayes at all hazards, an 'unmtigated lie. ,
None but those who prefer to believe a false
hood to the truth, thought the President had
made any such remark OF that Col. Mosby
had said anything to warrant any such infer
ence. Mosby has to share the fate Of all ma
tive Sontherners who support the laws and

sophIcally permit Misrepresentation to go

A Remarkable Circular.

The New~York Times Washington CORE
sponde.t, Of the 9th, says that the Republ;-
cans arc advised OF most extraordinary cir
calar. It is printed and addressed to the
commanders OF all the militia and all the
armed organizations in the Southern States.
The circular recites that it is the desire OF
the Democratic managers to have an impos-
ing military demonstration at the time Of
the Inauguration Of Tilden, aud it requests
the recipient OF the circular to notify the
person sending it whether his command can
attend, how large it will be, and especially
to give the record OF the officers. number,
calibre, character and quality OF It's rifle or
field pieces. blank is left for the sigma
t,trc OF the person scucing it.
Inasmuch as there will be no Inauguration
OF trcasoa Will be very likely to miscarry.
The mention OF the guns, and their calbre,
and the military record Of the officers. looks
| rs though there was mischief in the sugses-
ton. The people Of the South, however.
cannot be caioled into another civil war.
Benz. Hill aud John Young Brown trnly re-
presented the Southern people, in the demo-
cratic citlcus at Washington, when they in
formed the conspirators OF their party. that
their people wanted peace, and wonld be a
party to no such foolislness as endorsing a
proposition to bring in articles Of impe acil-
meit against Gen. Grant. Tlc plot is the
work Of Hewitt, Randall, Wood. and the
other disappointed 1ilden leaders, North,
and Knott, Mills, and a few others .'inyn-
/ chile in peace and Invisible in war; patriot S
of the South, as Hill denominated them. The
Southern democrats rememb + well the as.
surances given in 1SG0-Gl by the Northern
democrats, that $4,000 of their class would
march to the defence Of Richmond. after
having captured Washington. provided the
Southern people would resist the Inaugural
| ton of Lincoln. Fernando Wood was pro-
fuse in his promises to this effect at Charles
ton in 1850, and John Coleman said he would
himself head regiment for that purpose.
| He did head a regiment but it was for our
| conquest. The South will never again be
caught in such q trap.
When the excitement incident to the close
contest that has just been determined shall
have subsidized, as soon it will, the conserva-
tive element OF the Democratic party South,
will perceive that it will be to the interest Of
the entire South to give the administration
OF Gov. Hayes fair trial and generous and
manly support aud to meet him on the
basis Of his letter Of acceptance, and aid him
in restoring peace and prosperity to their sec.
ton. As Ben Hill said. his opportunity vii
be grand. and with the cooperation of the
Southern people, we may safely assume il
will be grandly utilized.

IL the argument applied in the Oregon

Gen. Frost In Missouri. He never had his

eligible. His place was flied by the ether

The Democrats very C cerfully accept Mr..
Hewitt's version or pcrversior of interviews
between himself and the President, and build
high upon his statements. This they regard as
all right and proper. But when the President,
in self defence, states that Mr.. Hewitt has
been guilty of reporting what never occurred
between them and putting in his mouth what
he never said Or intended to say. and con-
victing Mr.. Hewitt OF palpable misrepresen-
tation for partizan purposes, then y clamor
is raised about the want Of dignity on the
part of Gen. Grant, and the improperly OF
his language. The President cannot afford
to allow the INSCRIPTIONS trickstcr who
speaks for Tilden to place him false before
the country, and the only way to correct the
falsehoods Hewitt has concocted, is to follow
him in the same channel he has employed to
inculcate his fabrications. The President
has no taste for newspaper notoriety, as his
whole history proves. But there are times
when such considerations Of propricty should
be disregarded, when the interests OF truth
and right demand that public utterances
shall be made. The scheming, INSCRIPTIONS
and desperate conspirators, who are cgged
on by Tilden, would like very we'll TO have
their statements to 90 unchallenged. To be
baffied and driven to the wall is what they
do not want. This has been their fate in
every instance, and will be until Hayes is in.
