I,scessdtGs'y Fire.

The fire on Saturday morning, notice Of
which appeared in the HERALD Of that
morning, was carriage factory, located on
Market street above 18th street, and was
occupied by Bullock & Meyers.
As Mr.. John Downing was coming down
along the lower BrandywiDe race, about
IL 80 o'clock he discovered the fire breaking
out OF the roof and sides of the carriage
factory. ...t
Mr.. Downing instantly gave the alarm
and ran around to the trout of the shop and
pulled open the front door which was un-
fastened. With the assistance of few men
who were fortunately near at hand, he was
able to save two carriages which were un-
dergoing repairs in the shop, large sewing
machine and several small articles. The
balance of the contests consisting Of q large
quantity of flumber and carriage materials
were completely destroyed.
The Fire Department In very short time
responded to the alarm, and prevented tho
spreading OF the flames.
The building was owned by John j. Gal
lagher, druggist at fifteenth and Market
streets, whose loss will reach between
81 200 and 81, 500. on which there 10 no in
surance. The loss of Bullock and Meyers
will probably reach 81 500 on which tnere
is a partial insurance.
When the shop was closed In the evening
the fires were extingushed and the doors
securely locked. Yet when Mr.. Downing
reached Il front door, it was found 70 be
unfastened, this gives rise to the belief that
the fire was the work of an ineendiary.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Dec. 2.-The proceed
ings of the Board yesterday brought in
mass of papers carrying burden OF eVl'
depce that will come before the canvassers
with the case virtually closed. 1t appears
that the Republicans have, except in one
instance confined themselves to charges OF
intimidation and violence. They have at
tackled nearly every county in the State on
this ground, the charges varying but little
even in phraseology. and backed by hund,
reds of affidavits, signed by simple cross
marks. 1t is, of course, mrossible to tell
whether one man or five hundred made the
marks, and the afidavits produce little i'm
preston on Intelligent minds.

WADE HAMPTON's sTATEMaNT OF THE
SOUTH CAROLINA CASE TO PRESIDENT
GRANT.
The following telegram was received by
the President at late hour on Thursday
night
COLUMBIA, s. g., Nov. 3o.-To his Ex-
cellency U. s. Grant: The Democratic
House (sixty-fve in number) met quietly in
the nall to-day, with their Speaker in the
chair. The Republicans (ifty-nine) also
assembled there and placed their Speaker at
the desk. General Ruger proposes to take
out of the House eight members duly elect
ed, holding certificates from the Supreme
Court.
The House is the sole Judge Of the quail
tications of its members. We propose to
leave the question to the House.
These members will remain expelled by
force, but we earnestly desire peaceful
solution.
The Legislature will not interfere with
the Presidential electoral vote; We ask only
a constitutional Legislature, peacefully as
sembled for the good ofthe State.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
WADE HAMPTON.
HAMPTON, LAMAR AND GORDON.
Hon. L. @. G. Lamar yesterday received
kilograms from Senator j. B. Gordon and

Immediately by their friends, stating that
obsolute peace prevails in Columbia and III
the House, where both bodies we're in ses-
sion, and that Republicans were. joining
them.
PEACEABLB ADJUSTMENT OF DIFFICULTIES
President Grant says that he has nc
doubt but that all the questions growing
out of the Presidential contest will be peace
fully adjusted, and that the counsels of the
good and patriotic men in both parties will
prevail. On the telegram received yester-
day from General Ruger, asking for further
instructions in regard to any future action
on his part towards the rival Legislatures,
the Cabinet was divided, several members
advocating the sending of instructions to
Gen. Ruper to ,oust eight members who
held certificates of election from the Su-
preme Court, while other members con-
tended that 1t was the duty of the Federal
Government to simply sustain the legally
constituted authorities and preserve the
peace. In this view the President agreed,
andit was 90 decided. After the adjourn
ment of the Cabinet, telegram was sent to
General Ruger, announcing that bis ex.

A Serious Calamity Averted.

New YORK, Dec. 2.-The Tribune's
Washington despatch says:
"The Republicans were in danger of los
ing the vole of Nebraska by an informally
in canvassing the returns. It was ascer-
tained here few days ago that the State
law provides that the Legislature shall can
vass the vote for Presidential Electors. and
that there was no provision for the Legisla
ture meeting before January. Desp .tchet
10 the Governor developed the fact that he
had intended making the canvass himself.
Yesterday he was urged to get his Legisla
ture together on Monday without fail, and
he telegraphed that he had issued his proc
lamation and that the body would convene.

the ground that he was on December 7th a
Southern Claims Commissioner, and ask
ing that it be given to Isaac W. Jones, who

Corner I'm Trade Dollars.

SAN FRANcIsoo, Cal, Dec. ., 1876.-A
corner in trade dollars was occasiored to
day by the demand for shipment to China
and the fact that one of the local banks
recently deposited large amount Of silver
at the mint for coinage into trade dollars,
thereby monopolizing its working capacity
and virtually freezing out other banks.
Trade dollars are now quoted at par, and
as there are about 1000 900 ounces of silver
at the mint yet to be coined into trade dol
lars, mostly deposited by the above men,
toned banks, the corner is likely to con-
tinus for some time. Several bankers have
telegraphed to New York for supply.
