ONE Of the rapid fre-eating Demo
cratic journals of the South, the Meri-
dian (Niss.) Nercuay, recently pub
lnhed the following
Don't the Southern taxpayer contri-
butte his portion of the money to pay
pensions to Northern soldiers and their
widows aud orphans, while the Confe-
defate soldiers and their widows and
orphans are neglected Southern
members of Congress believe as firmly
in the justice of the Confederate cause
as the Northern members believe in
the justice Of the Uaion, and they sink
their manhood and eat dirt when they
vote appropriations to pension Federal
soldiers and their widows and orphans
to the exclusion Of the Confederate
A magnanimous Government should
pension all. They are all the victims
of civil war, and a pacific Govern
ment cannot consistently or safely dis.
criminate between them in this matter,
where the party Disseminated against
has an equal proportion of the burden
"W hen they"-the Democrats -"get
into power" if they will do this wise
and just thing, which Morton predicts,
to wit : "pensiou all or pension none,"
it will do more to conquer the rebell-
GUS feeling of Southern people, which
he took pains to portray to the Oregon
ians, than is in the power of the Fed
eral guns he has much faith in. A
kind and just Government can only
remember its crippled soldiers, wheth-
er they wore the blue or the gray, and
their widows alike; it is only malig-
nant Government that repels fealty,
that can discriminate. L is the part
of craftsmanship to soothe, not irriiate,
the sores of the late war

Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON Sept. "a

WASHINGTON, Sept. "a.
The Immediate proximity Of your
correspondents quarters to the Patent
Office, necessitating the removal of al
most everything portable, as it was be-
lieved at one time utterly impossible to
save anything \ the vicinity must be
his apology for short and imperfect
letter. The fire alarm struck at 11:30
A. NJ. and soon after the general alarm
sounded. The fire was first discovered
near the southwest corner of the
building and rapidly burned its way
northward, thence east until 7th street
was reached where it was staid. The
attic and the floor Immediately under
it were completely Quilted the whole
length Of the 9th and G. SITS. fronts,
being filled, chiefly with models. The
two floors below and basement escaped;
at least, their contents were only much
damaged by water aud the rough treat
ment consequent upon hasty removal.
The delay of our fire department in
getting to work was severely censured
By excited thousands of impatient men
and hysterical women; but when we
have learned more of the circumstances
and had time to ''cool off, we shall be
in position to render more just ver
diet. 1t has been usually esteemed
very efficient and it is the height Of
injustice TO condemn it, until the facts
are known. Baltimore responded
promptly to an appeal for aid, and
there are now some half dozen engines
from that city on the ground. No re-
liable estimate of the extent Of damage
and actual loss can yet be given. AS
usual, there are a thousand and one
causes assigned relative to the origin Of
the fire. Just as it was thoua ht under
control, the thousands of spectators
were alarmed by the discovery of fire
in Gheen and Asborn's large livery
stable on G street, 20 or 80 rods away,
and it was completely destroyed in a
very few moments 1t was almost new
and was considered the finest establish
ment Of the kind south Of Philadelphia.
The horses were all safely removed but
many very fine carriages were lost
The proprietors of the stable are said
to be amply y insured, but the firm of
g. I. Stockstill & Co. who occupied
the upper story Of the building in the
manufacture of galvanized iron cornice,
suffer severely, as there is no Insurance
on their stock or machinery. 1t is
believed the last fire was the work Of
an incendiary.

IT will be remembered that wear

It will be remembered that a year
ago last winter the Legislature passed a
law authorizing the leasing of the labor
Of all or part Of the convicts in the
State Prison to the highest bidder In
accordance with the law. Warden
Smith has leased to NJ. D. Wells & Co.,
of Chicago, manufacturers ofboots and
shoes the entire labor Of the prison.
November first, the Compan will COM
mence operations with 100 men, and
on Jan. first next will take all the men
who can be furnished by the State.
Forty cents per diem, for each man, is
the price agreed upon. The State will
also furnish shop room, and the engine
to run the machinery. It is believed
the State will make more money under
this system than under the old. OF
course the State will still be obliged to
furnish guards for the men night and
day Waupun Times.

A CALIFORNIA paper describes" the
latest thing" as new horseshoe made
out OF three thicknesses Of rawhide
compressed together by heavy pressure.
1t Is said to last longer, weighs only
one fourth as the common shoes, never
splits the hoof, and has no bad infu
ence on the foot. 1t is so elastic that
the horses step is never uncertain.
This will remind the farmers who drove
cattle and horses across the plains In
early days of the fact, now almost for
gotten, that this is no new invention,
for the cattle, and horses, too, were of
ten shod with shoes made out of buffa-
10 hide, cut from the neck, where the
skin is almost an inch thick.
