was no danger of war and the coun-
try might better rely on diplomacy.
Mr.. Johnston, Of Virginia, sup-
ported the amendment. He thought
the country should prepare for war

now presented by the harbor de

Mr.. Blount, of Georgia, argued
against the amendment, and agreed
with Mr.. Randall that there was no

all they could attend to at home.
The amendment was further OPP

A narrow escape from u fire was ex-
perien nced Tuesday night at the resi-
dence Of Mr.. J. b. Hopkinsaa printer.
Early in the evening Mr.. Hopkins
sistsr took light to look for some
articles of apparel, in trunk in
the hall, and while there sc-
cidentally caught fire to lace shawl,
which was Confined in a band box.
The fire was ext'Dguished, and the
trunk closed. Some hours after
the parties in the house smelied somes
thing burning. and upon opening the
hall door a dense fog of smoke was
discovered ooz ng from the t.unk. III

the box, tog' tler with other articles,
found burned up entirely. Among
ether tliDgs, pocket-book, belonging
TO Mr.. Hopkins aunt, was burned tc

would be glad TO sec the remains of Mr..

which 1t is pardonable to Indulge, that
great men should rest in death in the
localities which honored and were at.

resided during the days Of their great

deprived of the honor Of possessing the

Fletcher Mattox, Bill Dodson, Pleasant

charged with arson in burning the
Academy of Music in this city December
7th last, was had before Trial Justice
Hawthorne this afternoon, and tho guilt
of the above mentioned parties and Joe
Burton. another negro who is still at
large, established beyond question Of
doubt. Dodson at his cwn request was
allowed to make q full confession in open
court, giving every detail, from the first
inception of the foul plot to its consum-
rnaticn. The evidence is thoroagh, cor
roborative and incontroyertible. The
case ,1as beautifully worked up by Betec-
tive John Curtin, OF Pinkerton's force,
assisted by our jealous and indefatigable
iIiaJ0i TowIvi, IhE guilty wTetci:es,
were remnnded to jail. to await their trial
at the approaching term of court, when
they win most surely receive the death
sentence. Considerable ind :gnation is

DR.. Wise, Of Williamsburg, twice re-
fused to say whether he would or would
not pledge himself TO support the Demo.
cratic nopiinee for President; but finally
said that as besween Grant and Tilden,
he was In favor of the fornief, but as be-.
tween Hancock and Grant, he was in
favor Of Hancock. He was followed in
the same spirit ~ Messrs. Groner, cf
Norfolk, and Stoysli, of Henry county,
who distinctly agreed with DIR. Wise in
opposing any call for State Convention
which should include only all who desire
the election of Democratic President.
Mr. Stova!l said in prolonged appeal
that Il was time for Virginia to lead q
great progress OF the South. He said
there was on one side the dead carcass of
the Democracy, on the other the living
force Of great party, and it became Vir-
ginia to be part of the living, and not
of the dead. The upshot is that the
Readjusten who are members of the
committee are entirely unwilling to take
part in any Democratic or Conservative
movement. and that they are holding
aloof for further developments.
This indicates lack Of union among
tho Democrats of the old Dominion,
which may transfer the State from the
solid South Democratic column 10 the
Republican column in the next Presiden-
.al election. The Readjusters, with the
Republican vote, carried the State Of
Virginia last Fall, and 1t is possible that
they may be able to do 30 in the presi-
dental election this Fall.

Betweeu tho Chinese and Dennis Kear.

Between tho Chinese and Dennis Kear.
ney, the citizens of San Fraacisco have
been having enough excitement TO pre-.
vent anything like dull monotouy. For
the past few weeks the most intense ex-
element has prevailed, owing to incen-
diary threats and demonstrations from
large bodies Of men ander the influence
Of Kearney'S speeches. Safety commit
tees have been formed, the Mayor, who
sides with Kearney, has issued procla.
nation declaring the city quiet, and dc.
nouncing the statement TO the contrary.
The meetings and threatening demonstra-
tions are continuing, and general unea.
siness prevails. On the 11th inst, Kcar.
ney was ARRESTED by the police, at his
residence, on two charges of miydemean.
or, based on remarks at the meeting en-
Tuesday night previous. He furnished
ba'i and was released from Istody.
The arrest of Kearney was made quietly
and has caused no excitement. 1t is
doubted whether ho can be convicted,
for the reason that the sheriff, who draws
tho Jurors, is his personal friend and,
with the district attorney, was elected on
the Workingmen's ticket. Some, howev-
er, think that the Citizens Protective
Union can exert influence enough TO Sc.
cure his conviction and punishment.
The witness against him is member Of
the police force who has been attending
the meetings of the workiDgmen III dis
guise and taking notes of the incendiary
language used by the speakers. The
trial has not como of yet but j idging
from the telegraphic reports from the
city of sau Francisco, the arrest has done
a great deal to restore quiet and order.
