In reply to the delegation of Ala
bama Republicans who called at the
White House to inquire if Northern
men we're to be turned out of Office
in the Southern States simply because
they were Northern men, the Presi-
dent replied: In the first place lie
did not approve turning out any eff
fcient officer Where he was satisfied
that Northern men had gone South
simply for the purpose of procuring
eiiice, Inc believed in d~ischring them
to make room for representative men
but when a Northern man had identi-
fed himself with the interests of the
people, he believed in allowing him to
hold his office if he performed the
duties of it efficiently.

FIRE in FULTON.

Last Saturday morning at 2:40 A.
NJ, the inhabitants of Fulton were
aroused by the startling cry of fire.
The fire broke out in the rear of
Weichman & Wenger's saloon, on
Columbia street. The flames spread
rapidly in each direction, east and
west, and it was apparent at a glance
that the entire front of the block on
that side of the street was doomed, as
all the buildings, with one exception,
were frame. The brick was the old
Lawther House, on the corner.
The sparks, hot embers and cinders
flew thick and fast, greatly endanger-
ing the three-story house of FL. I.
DOerrics on the east, and the frame
building on the north on Asylum
street, a we'll as the entire new block
just west of the court house.
The fire was undoubtedly the work
of an incendiary, since there has been
no fire in the saloon where it broke
out and also from the hour at which it
occurred.

NIAGARA IN DANGER.

The approaching disappssrsnoe o.
Niagara Falls is announced A CORES
pondent, protesting to write from the
Falls, says:-'The theory that has for some
time been discussed with regard to the cav.
ing in, or wearing away Of Niagara, has
this season found new fuel to add to the
argument In its favor. Considerable com.
ment has been going the round Of the lead.
ing papers for few weeks, with relation
to the changed appearance Of the Falls
from that of last year. The Horse Shoe
has evidently given way some thirty feet
in that part of the cone where the green
water is seen, so that the horseshoe up
pearance is metamorphosed to that of u
triangular shape. It is thought that about
$50 tons of rock must have fallen in OH the
Horse Shoe alone, and old habitues here are
taking landmarks to notice the recession that
may take place before another year. The
American Fall has evidently given way at
points to considerable extent There is
no doubt but that Niagara Falls is crum-
bling away and falling back, but the present
recession is probably the greatest witnessed
by any one generation. The heavy ice
fields which pass over in the spring, the
strong currents and ceaseless wear and tear
Of time, and the mighty laundering cata-
rsct, must inevitably tell heavily upon the
rocky crest of the grand old shrine; but, of
course, its falling away must be SO slow as
not to be observable to the eye, except
when, from time to time, some of the i'm.
nense boulders give way.
