Serious Fire in Charleston.

CHARLESTON. s. c., March 90 A fire broke
out at A. NJ, at the corner of Kings street and
Rogers alley. There was no water in the
neighborhood and the wind blowing a gale

Columbus TO Line streets on the west and east
side of Kings street was destroyed. About I
O'Clock the fire crossed Line Street, sparks and
embers being carried by the gale three-quarters
of a mile up king-st. Houses. fences and farms
along the road were burned. There were heart
rending scenes on the streets, and bands of ne
gro robbers sacked every house to which they
could gain admittance. Later in the morning

New HaInushira

The Republicans have made pretty
clean sweep Of this state, electlng Cheney
by plurality Of 3,693 over Marcy. Both
the Senate and House are Republican, so
that they will have things their own sweet
way The contest was the most desperate
that ever took place in the state Every
possible appliance to secure votes was
brought to bear BY the radicals Money
flowed like water, and the most unheard
OF prices were paid tor votes. The cor
respondent of the Boston Post, who was
on the ground during the campaign, writes
as follows
How result 80 cheering to the Admins
tration and oiice-h0llers has been brought
about Is not Il secret to any New Hampshire
voter. livery one admits that money, used in
abundance, has done it, work of corruption.
The fact that there are in the state seventy
close towns, and that each contains from 20 to
100 doubtful men that are bought and sold like
oxen IN the market, gives any thinking man
the true cause of Republican victory. In some
OF these towns thousands of dollars We're used
IN eases Of individual votes 800 being some
times paid tor one vote. Taking into account
the large corruption fund furnished to the Re
publican leaders. and the unusual efforts TO
bleed the o1tice-holderS at home, the Democrats
are far from respondent. They feel assured
that the honest, sober men Of the State are in
favor of honest government and honest men in
office, and that the motto of the party. "Sound
Currency and Honest Government will bring
Prosperity is the true sentiment of the Old
Granite State. 1t is a cause of congratulate ion
that the corruption did not reach the question
of holding Constitutional Convention, and
there i good reason to believe that the Convtn-
ton has been endorsed by 4 large majority.

The Bangor Wing, commenting on our
remark that the Presidents interference
with the witnesses in the Belhnap case
caused the flight OF Marsh, says
The fact" is no such thing, and the editor of
the journal can give no valid excuse for not
knowing it. The undisputed evidence that
Marsh was well on his way to Montreal on the
day when the dispatch referred to appeared,
so that he could only have read it Saturday
evening after his arrival there, had reached the
Journal office in our columns and those Of
other exchanges many days before the last is
sue of that paper. Every intelligent newspa-
per reader knows that the charge that the adj
ministration were in any way responsible for
Marsh's escape, is entirely false
The Wing is nettled at the bad light in
which this matter shows the adminstra-
ton, and there need be small wonder
thereat. 1t has been denied that the
President declared in cabinet meeting
that Marsh and others testifying to the
Belknap frauds should be prosecuted for
complicity-but the report was certainly
circulated about Washington that such
would be the case. long before the wit
ness lelI, Inc circular OF the Attorney
General, directing that no participant in
fraud should be shielded by giving testi-
mony against associates, was enough to
thoroughly alarm Marsh for his personal
safety Let the Wing remember that the
President has not caused revocation of
that declaration. 1t is reported that the
Attorney General has guaranteed spe-
cial safe conduct, and invited Marsh to
come from Canada and testlly-just as
the House had passed bill to compass
the same end, by application to all like
cases. The Wing knows that but Tor the
investigation of the Democratic House the
Belknap frauds would never have been
uncovered; and that the witness Marsh,
having been driven away by administra-
ton threats of prosecution, would have
stayed in Canada had not the House
taken steps to bring him back 1t is now
believed that not even witness so Tor
ward as was Grant in Babcocks case, can
save Belknap. Let the Wing keep as
calm as possible, and it will see all the
true inwardness" Of the administration
that it will care to by the first of May

on account of the Kentucky Central Railroad
claim. The two witnesses, whose names Gen.

be the names of two Kentucky women, one of
whom paid the money to Mrs. Bowers, and
the other of whom, the owner of the house
where the payment was made, was witness to
the payment. 1t is said the witnesses can be

Northern Snow.
BY WILL WALLACE HARVEY.

An exile to the pine and palm,
1 see the fur-winged summer brood,
Through azure depths of endless calm,
Above nursing solitude;
And ample breadths of bloom unfurled,
As sweet as that voluptuous South
Where Antony gave the Roman world
For Egypts Cleopatra mouth.
All things of sight and sound appear
10 breathe OF nothing but content,
Ash UNDECIDED, through the year,
The vagrant seasons came and went.
Yet often, when hear the rain,
In fleece of vapor, whisper low,
Like ghosts about the window-pane,
My heart would leap to see the snow.
To see beyond the frozen meres,
In chalk and crayon's black and white,
The river hills, through atmospheres,
Wind-blown, in dazzle points oflight;
The smothered roofs that lie below
The little wreaths OF thin blueEsmoke,
Where dodder holds handfuls of snow
Above them on its mother oak.
In smooth, white levels lies the croft
A mound of snow the lockwood shines;
Still sweep the trowels, white and soft,
In sloping curves and sweeping lines.
Soft furries, as shadow blurs
The page in passing, light and fleet;
Like, soft, warm faces wrapped in turs;
Like faces passing on the street.
see them in the falling rain,
Through all the years that lie between,
Like ghosts about the window-pane,
Among the musk and evergreen;
The boyhood's friends the fair young wife
Who watched with me so long ago,
As if across another life,
Among the softly falling snow;
While, grievina through the pine and palm,
The winds do chide uncounted hours,
Whose unspent summers fill the calm
With soft, sweet utterances of flowers.
