Vermont, New Brunswick, Canada and Wis
consion. Much property and many lives are
reported lost There is said to be fire ex-
tending distance of 129 miles in the woods
of Michigan. A dispatch from Wood Falls,
New York, May 16, has the following:
At Stackpole Forge, Cannon Corners and
Centerville the people are fleeing in every di-
rection, frequently barely escaping with their
lives. At the latter place number of dwell
ings with barns attached to them, six sawmills
two stores and one church were swept away,
also a large quantity of lumber. The entire
property of Stackpole Forge was burned; the
mills, charcoal kilns, dwellings, stores and
contents are consumed. Three-quarters of a
million of dollars Of property is destroyed at
Clinton Mills. The loss on Adams 4 Cos
mills, machinery, etc, is $50, 600; insur
nnce, $50, 900. The dwellings of operatives,
barns, merchandise, stores and stOrehOuses,
live stock, lumber and cordwOod burned
entail loss of $4,000; insurance $50, 900.
An appeal is made to the charitable for food
and clothing for the unfortunate. At Cham
plain large quantities of provisions and neces-
sary clothing have been contributed. by the
citizens. The entire country is enveloped III
a dense smoke. 1t is stated that there were
many families living in the woodlands where
the fires have so fearfully, and that ndoubt-
edly many persons have persisted while at
tempting to save their houses. At Alton,
Forest, lone, Wood Falls and Ellenburgh the
people were last night watching their houses.
At Damemora fears are entertained that the
fire will spread into the thick forests III that
immediate neighbOrhoOd.

Mr.. W. B. Carr has undergone an eNamin-
alton before the COMMISSIONER appointed for
Judge Morrisons Court in San Francisco to
take testimony relating to the matters of diff
ference between him and Pinney The latter,
upon his direct examination, produced writ
ten document purportlng to be an agreement
between himself and Carr, by which the latter
agreed, in consideration of receiving some
thing like half million dollars worth of prop
erty from Pinney to pay his, Pinneys, debts
&c, &c. Mr. Carr takes the stand and de
MES positively that any such agreement
ever entered into between him and Pinney
He swears he never saw the document until
it was produced in court Here is a most de
cided and unmistakable issue On one side
is IA man who emitted drafts which, if not for
geries, are exempt from that category by the
terms of mere tiimsy technically who fled
the country To escape the consequences of his
own misdeeds and who beat his wife with his
fists until her eyes were blackened because
she would not consent to deed away her home
stead on the eve Of his flight. On the other
side is a respectable citizen whose standing in
the business community is as good as any
mans in San Francisco, Pinney's story, to
be believed, must carry with it the conviction
that he is sufficiently guleess ass to give |
away, without any sort of adequate considera-
ton, a half million dollars worth of valuable
property. To discredit Cars testimony one
must believe that he was willing in 1875 to
act as the agent of rogue and confidence
man, and that now he is base enough to com
init perjury to escape the consequences Of
pretended agreement, which, if it were gen
uine one, is absolutely worthless by its own
terms

considered the hight of ill-breeding among
civilized Osmanlis. The fact is that Ahmed
Nelik, with all his scholarship, has long been
set aside as an Impractical man. He lived for
many Years as a disappointed recluse, and was
more tit to keep school than to direct Par
lament. He has already in two or three in
stances been outvoted by large majority,
and there is strong party among the depu-
ties and among the public who think that the
man is in the wrong place, and are determined
that the present President shall be sent back
I" his hermitage at Rumali Hissar, and that
his successor no longer be appointed by the
Sultan, but as in all other Parliaments, by
free election. Strange to say, this Ahmed
Netik, who is i'll many respects a conservative
from sheer Chauvinism, was sufficiently I'M
wise to countcnance, if not to promote, dis
cussion on topics of foreign policy, in which
the Chamber, so far as it lay III its power,pre-
Judged open questions and embarrassed the
Government.

We find the following among the dispatches:
The Suns Washington correspondent says
Evarts already, in private conversation, has
expressed himself i'll favor of these four steps
in the commercial policy of the Administers
ton: First-RestOration of the silver dollar
Second-Admission of foreign bottoms to
American register Third-Remission Of all
duties on English machinery imported for
Southern cotton manufacture. Fourth-Re-
vision of the tariff and substitution OF specie
for al valorem duties. Evarts avUws himself
i'll favor of a bi-metallic standard
Mr.. Evarts is IL very learned and distin-
o1lished and influential gentleman but just
what and how much consequence is to be at
tached to any views of his upon the finances,
the tariff and the emergencies of our com
merce it would be difficult to estimate save
by a process in political arithmetic which
should have some metaphysical relationship
to Proportion and the imferential calculus
We should say, if we had a guess, that the
Secretary had been dining, with a gratitied
appetite, with Senator Jones. Jones talks
Just as Evarts is reported to have talked upon
the subjects referred to in the foregoing. But
as far off from the right to such an exercise of
legislative power as our ambitious friend Bo-
ruck further, if that is possible. Still we
who have had our eyes opened to the true
value of silver a medium of exchange, may
not with consistency repel even such rather
unavailable friendship as Mr.. Evartss. But
it seems to us that the Secretary scatters, Just
a trihe-spreads out too much at one time, as
it were. The cry of distress which comes up
from the sca-board is the lack of encourage
ment to the American ship-builder and owner
and sailor And yet, Mr.. Evarts says he ia
the registering Of foreign bottoms. In
other words he is for buying instead Of build
ing our ships 1t is to be expected that
man who entertains this sort of views with re-
lation to our merchant marine will declare
himself free trader. Possibly free trade is
the wiser policy To pursue but if we are to
have a revival of Z" The old line Wing Party,
free trade will not do for a battle cry. The !
solicitude exhibited by Mr.. Evarts for the !
South in the matter of cotton machinery of |
foreign make, would seem to indicate a will |
1ngness TO establish condition or co1nmerClal |
intercourse between our deluded Southern
brethren and the manufacturers of England
which would, possibly, widen the already ex
listing chasm between the two sections of this
once happy and united country. 1t was partly
because they were not permitted to designate
the terms of the tariff III 1882 50 far as to be
prepared to deal with the mother country on
terms which should enable them to be indie
pendent of the Yankees, that some of Mr.
Calhoun constituency talked of notification.
But possibly Mr.. Evarts is candidate for
the Presidential succession. Who can tell

Testimony accumulates against the Black
Hills country. The Silver State of Wednes-
day presents the following
Paul jasmine who left here a few weeks
ago for the Black Hills, writing under date of
May s, from Deadwood City, says he finds
everything lively, hut the country is overm
with men seeking employment 1t is simply
surprising the numberof men who are i'll search

he can make enough money during the sum-
mer to pay his way back in the fall He
thinks the State of Nevada, notwithstanding
the dull times, much better than the Hills.
Provisions are very high and wages very low.
Flour is IS cents per pound and everything
in the eating line in proportion. Emigrants
from the States, or tender feet, as they are
called by Californians and Nevadans are
pouring into the country, and as nearly all of
them are in search of employment, labor is
cheaper than anywhere west of the Rocky
Mountains.
