houses are nearly consumed. Il strong north

Louis attempted to cross the bridge to assist
10 subduing the fire, but were cut off by the
flames, ard forced TO return. Subsequently
two or three fire engines were taxed over on
the ferry boat, and are now doing good service.
But little definite information can be obtained
to night but it is not doubted that the eastern
approach Of the bridge is so badly damaged
that trains cannot cross, and that the buildings,
where the fire originated, will be entirely de-
stroyej. No estimate OF the loss can be given
to.nipht.

The one crumb OF comfort to be derived
from the feast ot'fraud and corruption, upon
which the country has been surteited tor the
last eight years, Is the assurance that under no
contingency can tue sway Of the thcvlng carpet
Dagger be prolonged, aud that, like all other
dogs having had his day. he will soon fold his
tent, like the Arabs, aud, plying his vocation
to the last, silently steal away. Ills condition
under Hayes will be no better than it would
have been under the legally elected President.
The New York Herald says
ut is certain that whether we are to have
President Hayes or President Ti.den misgov-
eminent in the Southern States, perpetuatcd
by Federal interference will cease. The reign
Of the corpct. Dagger is over; no republican poll
tcian, 10 matter how extreme MS views may
have been, will bc able to persuade his party to
hazard its own future aud the peace OF the
country by any longer interference IN the local
affairs Of the Southern States. Thus 4 great
element of danger aud industrial depression will
disappear.

tho shock the public confidence 10 the Supreme
Court has sustained from it. A popular gov

the peer Of The President, is IN most unstable
condition when the decisions Of liz highest
court are looked upon as attempts to legallze
fraud and its members as dobauched partlsans;
