FIRE RECORD.


CAIRO, February ia Ere to-day
partially destroyed the brick store occn.
pied by a. Marax and P. Neti, clothiers,
on the levee. The damage to the building
and stock is about $1,000; insured.
ST. Louis, Mo-, February ia fire
broke out about midnight in the
row, OF frame houses Just north OF the
bridge approach in East St. Louis, and
at this writing, 4. NJ, about dozen
houses are nearly consumed. A strong
northeast wind carried the flames to the
wood work OF the bridge approach and
abour j 900 feet Of it is now bnrninp.
Several engines from st, Louis started
across the bridge to assist in subluing
the fire, but were cut of by the flames
and forced to return. Subsequently two
or three OF them were taken over on a
ferry.boat, and are now doing good ser.
vice. But little definite information can
be obtained tonight, but Il is safe to say
that the eastern approach to the bridge
is 80 badly damaged that trains can not
cross, and that the houses where the fire
originated will be entirely destroyed.
No estimate Of the loss can be given To-
night.
DAYTON, February ia Gre broke
out in barn in MiamAsburg, this even.
ing, destroying 1t completely and the
stock 1t contained. Several horses in the
barn we're taken oul, but some Of the cattle
that remained in it were burned. Loss
is about 5000; no insurance.

The Oregon Inialny.

hV SANaOH
We are waiting for RvirtuOus burst
from the Democratic press over the
Oregon iniamy. Asan auctiOneer would
say, ".hall We hear it, We guess not.
For fear, however, that some Of the more
yirtuous Of the Democratic brethern may
not have seen the correspondence between
U. S. Senator Kelly and Gov Tildena
nephew, We again refer to it, as follows:
PORTLAND, November 2S.
Nv r. Ptitoa, 10 Gramercy Park, ~ T.:
Certificate will be issued to one
Democrat. Must purchase one Repub.
lican Elector TO recognize and act with
the Democrat and secure the vote and
prevent trouble, Deposit $4,000 10 my
credit with KOBnize Brothers, Wall
street. Answer.
~. II. n. PATRICK.
"l full indorse this.
"JAs. X. KELLY"
Kelly says Ito the US. Senate) that he
did not understand what this dispatch
meant when he signed it; but a million or
two Of newspaper readers simply say,
"Mr. Kelly that's too thin"
As we remarked yesterday, Pelton
(Tilden's nephew Is the chap who UNDER
stands cipher. Hewitt's testimony this
morning shows that Pelton was the head
man in this cipher business. But this we
knew without Hewilt's evidence. Pelton's
headquarters were nj II, Gramercy Park,
Tillens house. From these headquarters
the nephew sent the following reply to the
above dispatch from Patrick and Kelly;
IF you make the obligation contingent
on result in March it can be done"
But the Oregon fellows wanted cash
down. The idea OF waiting until Tiidens
Inauguration did not snit them 50 they
telegrAphed thus: zone eleclor must be
paid to recognize Democrat, to secure a
majority" They also sent this dispatch
"Have employed three lawyers; editor
OF only Republican paper as one lawyer;
fee, $1,000. VIII take 5000 for Republican
Eiector!; must raise money; can't make fee
contingent. Sail Saturday. Kelly and
Bellinger will act"
Some Of the Democratic newspapers
are restive under the Developments Of
these dispatches. Colonel Mcclure, OF
the Philadelphia Times is bold enough to
speak out and express himseltthus:
"Assuming that the dispatches publish,
ed during the last few days have been
correctly deciphered, they show conclu.
siyely that money was wanted to corrupt
the Oregon Electoral College by the pur.
chase OF one Republican eleCtor to act
with Cronin, and the only difference be-
tween Oregon and Louisiana is, that al.
tempted debauChery failed in Oregon and
was successful in Louisiana. Clearly
Senator Kelly and Colonel PeltOn will
want to be heard from again, TO let the
nation know whether Mr.. Tilden was
either directly or indirectly party to
the corrupt negotiation. We presume
that he was moi; but his skirts will be
cleared only when the country knows ex.
actly all who were parties TO it."

The Appropriation bill pending before
the House OF Delegates provides for ex-
penditures amounting to about $55O,OOO.
Ia not this good time to leave the Capt.

well in all other respects, is it wise to

The gentlemen who were appointed by
the citizens meeting held at the Council
Chamber Saturday night, to canvass the
city for subscriptions among the
business men to the stock Of this road,
began their work yesterday, and report
an encouraging degree Of success. They
propose to go forward with the canvas,
and hope that their iellow.citizens will
be ready to meet them, when called upon,
with their minds made up as to what they
are willing to do, The whole eRsc, in a
very few words, is simply this; The
TuscarawaS road is already built from
the Lake to Urichsyille-l0l mileS-and
proposes TO come on Immediately 10 West

scribcd at Wheeling and along the line
between Wheeling and Urichsyille. Al.
ready over Sl7O,OOO Of this stock has
been subscribed along the line, and it is
proposed to raise $4,000 more.
Wheeling is asked for $4,000
as her share. Nearly an entire free
right Of way has been secured. In order
to bind the subscriptions already obtained
and the right Of way thus secured, work
must be commenced before the lst Of
July. The company propose to bond the
road, as soon as the S25O,OOO stock Ia
taken, for a million Of dollars, and at
once put it under contract. They expect
to grade, bridge and lay the road with
steel rails for this 81, 100000, as railroads
can be built very cheaply just now. II.
they are successful, We shall have by
July |, 1878, and perhaps sooner, new

lous region in Ohio, thus opening up ad-
vantages to our merchants and manuiac.

fNObAblsE ThOUULE IN LOUISIANA.
This morning the President was visited
by the Attorney General, Secretary Of
War and Secretary OF State, and atlen.
tion given, among other things, to the
condition OF affairs in Louisiana, and
also to an article in the Sunday Capital, Of
this city, edited by Doe Piattt which was
interpreted by the government officers az
strongly advocating violence and def.
ance Of the laws, and US such was given
very serious attention. Subsequent to
the interview OF the Attorney General
with the President, Judge Taft sent for
U. s. Attorney Wells Of this district, with
whom he was in long and earnest con.
versation in regard to the same article.
The statutes were closely examined,
and the notes made Of law, which, it was
considered, attach criminal intent to such
articles.
Subsequently Judge TAFT and District
Attorney Wells were in consultation with
the President on the same topic. The
President has Excluded himself from the
pnblic to-day, and receives only Cabient
officers on business regarded as Of unusu-
al importance. Letters and kilograms
