WE will publish next week the prospect
us OF the New York Sun 'for the campaign
against fraud,' These words mean of
Course that the Sun, will in the future, as
it has in the past, wage war to the bitter
end against the present national admins
tration, which was brough. into existence
by fraud upon the American people,
through the forms Of law, as outrageous as
it was unparalleled in the history of the
country. In order to make this warfare of
the Sun effective, it invokes recruits from
every quarter to co operate in the movement
and lend it a generous support. AS the
Sun circulaies and is eagerly..read in every
nook and corner of the land, we know of
no other Journal that can be so powerful
and effective in the crusade in which it has
embarked. If it talks plainly, and if its
sting often hurts, it is because of the wide
and increasing spread Of official turpitude
and the absolute necessity of thorough re-
form in all the branches of the general as
well as the State governments. That the
pages of the Sun are as interesting as they
arc pungent, is shown from the fact that
the private Secretary of Mr. Hayes recent
ly requested Mr.. Dana, its editor, to send
copy of it 10 the White House, to be
placed on file, but as the price Of subscrip-
t;on was not enclosed, the request was very
promptly and very properly declined, aud
as a result the rays of the Sun do not illu
mine the executive mansion. So able,
fearless and independent "a newspaper as
the New York Sun richly deserves all the
increase that can be given to its present
immense circulation, which we trust for
tue Ike of the country aud its cherished
institutions will soon be illimitable.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AND GREAT Loss OF
LIFE.-The most disastrous fire ever expe-
rienced in Bridgeport, Conn. occurred on
Thursday night last. At II 80 light was
discovered in the fourth story of Grover,
Sanford & Sons factory. The flames were
first seen in the dyeiug or mixing room, in
the northwest corner of the third story of
the main building, and running along that
floor were communicated by the dummy to
the stories below.
While volunteers were removing the
goods from the office, one story sti ucture,
suddenly and without warning the back
and front walls of the factory fell, leaving
the two highest walls unsupported. The
one adjoining the Office leaned outward,
and shrek went up fIom the specta-
tors, fell upon the roof of the office, crush =
ing through to the basement, and burying
those within. One man, who escaped
with cash, stated that there were dozen
men in the ruins and already eleven bodies
have been removed. Nearly all are fear
fully crushed and more or less burned.
Sanford's loss on the building, machine
ny and stock will reach about two hundred
aud fifty thousand dollars insurance, one
hundred thousand dollars. There were
about fifteen thousand hats ready for ship
ment, the most of which we're destroyed.
The hat shop gave employment to two hun
dred and fifty hands. and was to have
started on Monday with full force. San
fords say they will sell or lease rather than
put up a new factory without better wa
ter supply. They had hose on every
floor, but no water could be bad.
Two bodies not fully identified next Gay
! prove to be those of James Coyne, bill pos
ter, and John killingberg. The latter was
only recognizable by hand, from which
he had previously lost fingers, and a truss
worn on the body. This completes the
{ list of the dead, eleven i'll all.

The Ohio grecnback convention met at
Columbus on last Wednesday week, adopt
ed platform and nominated full State
ticket, with Stephen Johnson, for Govern
or, at its head. There were only thirty
delegates present, which would seem to
indicate that the movement is not likely to
prove as formidable as it's friends boasted
1t would. We are decidedly of the opinion
that to the square mile Ohio contains more
deep politicians aud more profound states
men, to say nothing about Office seekers,
than any other six States i'll the Union.

IT is a satisfaction TO know that the In
dian problem is fast approaching settle
ment and that the expense, hardship and
danger of au annual military campaign
against the belligerent savages west of the
Missouri river will be avoided III the future.
Since the beginning of March nearly all
the leading hostile chiefs, with their war
riors, their aIms and their ponies, have
come to Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, and 9TH
CT Indian Agencies, aud quietly surrender
ed to General Crook, or some other officer
in command. The surrender of the ablest
and most troublesome of all the Indian
leaders, the renowned Crazy Horse, and his
band, took place on the 9th of May. He
will he remembered as the chief who met
the i!-fated Custer in battle last summer,
in Montana Territory, and inflicted such
terrible slaughter on his command. He
and his warriors said that the peace he had
made would last and not be broken. The
only large fighting force of Indians which
has not yet surrendered is Sitting Bulrs s
band. He is supposed, as is his custom
when matters become too hot for him south
OF the eltuwSCOne river, TO have CrOSseu
the boundary line into the British posses
sions. The important question of distrib-
uting and maintaining the large number
of these Indians now at the agencies will
be disposed of during the summer. If this
can be done satisfactorily our Indian wars
will be over, except perhaps with the
Apaches in Arizona, the most blood-t thirsty
and treacherous savages on the continent
They have repeatedly been compelled to
make peace, only to be followed by their
again taking the war path, dealing death
and destruction wherever they roamed.

THE Chairman, together with small
fragment of the Republican Count! Com
mit:ee, met somewhere in this place on
Saturday last and elected VIM. VI. Jones,

urday, September 1st, was fixed for holding
the delegate election, and Monday, the Sd,
for the meeting of the county convention.
The leading Republicans i'll this end of the
county appeared not to feel the least inter
est in the business of the committee. Even
the..''old Republican war horse of north :
ern CambI ia turned his back upon the town
and betook himself to the country to attend
to his own business, evidently impi esseo:
with the belief that the manufacture of
shook, dull as the trade is at present, is
more profitable than the manufacture of
delegates to a State convention, to take
part in the empty honor of setting up a
ticket only to see it knocked down. The
Republican party i'll Cambria is suffering
from the same dry rot of Hdy6sism which
so seriously affiicts its ranks throughout

actcrs, intent, i'll Russian opinion, on the
assassination of the Emperor, if a fit op-
portunity presented itself. To prevent the
success of any attempt of the kind a loco
motive, with Il car attached containing Il
squad of secret police, was run a short dis
tauce i'll advance of the train containing
the Emperor and his attendants, as well AS
IA similar train behind it. That there are
hundreds Of exilcd Poles, Broken in fortune
yet treasuring up the memory of their

THE ELECTION,

The result of the election yesterday,
in the language of cotemporary, ''af-
fords fine field for speculation" This
speculation will be INDUCED in mainly y
by Republicans, for Democrats will nol
care to bother about how it happened.
With them it is sufficient 10 know
that it did happen. Republicans attrib-
ute their defeatlto.a number of causes.
First, an off year, causing light vote;
second, the Wol kingmen's movement,
from which they were the greatest suf-
terers; third, dissatisfaction of Re-
publicans with the Presidents
Southern Policy, and lastly,
opposition to the r sumption Act. This
is surely string OF reasons long enough,
and each one OF these will he given
according to the humor and
opinion Of the person explaining. In
this county the most important result is
the defeat of Hoffman for Auditor, which
now seems assured beyond doubt. This
defeat is one OF the most remarkable vic
tories for the people ever achieved in
this city, and is due to the honesty
and discrimination of the rank and
fi!e of the party. The people
were made acquainted with the
man and the influences urging his elec-
tion, and they defeated him. This is
the whole story of the peoples victory
In the election Of County Auditor. The
Executive Committee of neither party
did anything worth mentioning, and
the so-called "kickers," as an organiza-
tion, were not 1elt in the contest
Every man exercised his own judg-
ment, with the light that had
been given him, and the result was that
the name of Hoffman was stricken from
larger proportion Of the Demo mocratic
ticket than was ever known in the case
OF any candidate ever voted for In this
county. The immense influences at
work in his favor, the frauds re-
sorted to in his behalf, anu
the ring Republicans that urged
his election succeeded in bringing him
within some four thousand votes of the
head OF his ticket. In the Ninth W ard
Mr.. Hoffman ran ahead Of Mr.. Bishop,
although scratched badly by Democrats.
