The forest fires now raging in Michigan
are doing incalculable damage, Several vii
lagos have been destroyed, as well as large
saw mills in various localities. The losses
are enormous, amounting, exclusive of the
timber, to fully 100000 Hundreds of peo-
pie have been rendered homeless and the
privations and suffering sure to arise are
painful to contemplate. Nothing but heavy
rains can extinguish the flames, which are
threatening other small towns

MACNEAGu'S DENIAL.
Mr.. Macy Veagh has furnished the following
letter to the press in reply to Butler:

WI hacN eaSl mas furnished lne following
letter to the press in reply to Butler:
PHILADELPHIA, May 80, 1877.
SIR | have just read your letter in the
New York Times. Your informant" hap
pens to have told you the exact opposite of
the truth in every statement respecting me.
Colonel Wharton did not aid me at New
Orleans, but was one Of the adherents of the
Packard Government to the end. He did not
manage or transact any kind Of business for
me. He did not receive any promise from
me III respect to any office. | have not asked
the President to appoint him Marshal. Sc
much Tor that portion OF your letter.
Where | am known | do not need to deny
the silly story about the use of money. or to
declare it to be, as you well know it to be, a
base and cowardly falsehood. For those who
do not know me perhaps | ought to add that
apart from any repugnance on my part to the
crime there were two practical difficulties in
the way OF my committing it: ! had no money
OF my own to spare, and it is only military
commandant of New Orleans in time of wal
who can safely appropriate any considerable
quantity OF the property Of others to his own
use.
The fact is that the enemies of reconcilia.
ton in Louisiana waste their time in trying
to discover or invent some kind of bargain
with which at once to accOOnt for its success
and to discredit it. Strange as it may seen
to some Of them, political results are still at
tainable n'thiscountry by straight tjforward anG
honest methods; and the country will udg,
the result We secured in its fruits in compari.
son with the fruits Of the opposite policy
comparing the four years to come of homes
and lawful government with the eight year
Just ended Of hatred. intimidation, outrage
corruption, anarchy and murder.
Therefore, from the bitterness of good mel
misguided and of bad men disappointed, ap
peal to the generous judgment of the Ameri
can people, and await their decision upol
the subject Of our labors in Louisiana, no
with misgiyings or excuses, but with confidence
and pride. Yours truly,
WAYNE MACVEAGH.
