The wind is hard from the northwest, sending the fire southeast. All the population were, last night, endeavoring to stay the flames from taking the direction of Whiting and other thickly inhabited places. Three buildings and barn are burned at Gib- sons Mills. There has been no rain. The fires now burning near Atsion, N. J., have de- stroyed over 100 square miles of valuable bury bogs, timber land and vineyards Great Republic, a prosperous little village, has had twenty two buildings burned, and at Bennett's Mills two houses are consumed. From Great Republic the fire took southeasterly course toward the iron mills and Cedar lake, and skirting about Hammonton and Euwood, spread toward Mullians river on the northeast and Great Egg Harbor river on the southeast. It is impossible tc make an estimate of the de- struction. to the woodlands.

MAHONE IN PHILADELPHIA.

PHILADELPHIA, October lS.--Senator-
elect Mahoae, OF Virginia, the chief OF
the Readjusters, arrived in the city on
Sunday morning, but his presence was
not known to the chiefs Of either party
until to-day. AS early as six O'Clock
this morning Ex-Governor Hartranit and
cx-Sheritf VIM. L. Leeds, two of the
Republican leaders, called at the Conti-
mental Hotel to see Malone, but it has
been rumored that they failed to secure
an interview with him. On behalf Of
the Democrats, Speaker Sam Randall
was also early on hand, and was more
successful. Ae was coscted with Ma
hone all the forenoon. The Democrats
preserve close watch on Malone to
keep the Republican leaders away from
him. Hartranft is Collector of the Port,
and he and Leeds represent the Cameron
interest in Pennsylvania politics. This
Willingness of both parties to dicker
with Malone has excited great interest
on account Of the conceded power of
Malone to throw the electoral vote of
Virginia for Garfield or Hancock and TO
elect four or five Republican members
Of the House, and hereby Mr.. Randall
would lose his Syeukership. This dread
ful possibility explains Randal's ankle
ty TO secure Mahone's influence for him
self and for Hancock. Malone has now
loomcd up in the opinion of some Dem
Ocrats as the possible arbilcr of the
Presidential election; but Republicans
feel that they can do without him. His
own conversation does not induce any
Republican to cater TO his power. He
SAYS: Cameron and GOrhan can
voucch for what | am in my political
bons could not read me out, but belong
to the progressive, liberal Democracy
that believes IN free ballot. an honest
count and just verdict The colored
people are standing by us in Virginia.
They have never yet received anything
from the Bourbons, although the latter
came 10 them, or to the Republicans,
and offered to give them United States
Senator and thirty county judges II theJ
would make the trade; but the game
was understood and declined. Our pur-
pose is to Loyalty ucCept the results Of
the war, TO redeem the honor of Virgin
Ia aud promote its prosperity and lts
schools.n Gen. Malone further re-
marked that he favored Hancock, but
he refused 10 express any opinion ms to
the result of the Presidential election
He stated that when he entered the Sem
ate on March lth next he would lie gov
erued by his convictions as to the best
Interests Of Virginia and the Union.

Hancock club have thrown that stone at
him? Answer gentlemen! Oh con-
sistency! What bird thou artl
The Senator affirmed that the Read
justers had promised to reduce taxation
and did not do it, though they had con-
troll of the last Legislature. He declared
that Holiday would not have vetoed
such bill if they had passed it. Now
we affirm that Mr.. Holiday would have
done just that thing lie did not hcsi-
tale TO veto the "luxury" of free schools
nor State sovereignty Of the Barbour bill
nor the wonderfully petty 22c reduc-
ton (') of the Riddleberger bill. Why,
the Riddlebcrger bill was Just that thing
you call bill to reduce taxation and he
dtd veto 1t. Moreover a reduced tax
Dill, QJter that oeto, would have vetoed
itself by stopping the wheels of the State
government. VIII Senator Johnston
dare go into print with such a PROPOSE
ton as that? Does he not know that the
tax receivable coupons would have alb
sorbed the whole revenue from any ma
terially reduced tax bill, so that there
would have been nothing left to gov
ern the State with? Does not he know
that taxation cannot be reduced until
ReadiuS tment is effected?
Evidently Senator Johnston must have
heard some Readjuster pledge that new
er reached our ears. Certainly we know
of no Readjuster who was wild enough
to propose to reduce the rate of taxation.
until the public debt has been readjusted.
We have taken the pains and space TO
reply to these main points in Senator
Johnston's speech, because no reply
could be made to it at the warehouse.
When asked for 4 division of time he
simply referred the Readjusters to the
officials Of the Handbook club. The
president, Prof. Winston, fatty declined
to grant any division Of time. There
were perhaps lOO persons present, TO
whom we should have been glad to an
swer his speech at the time it was delv-
cred. At least l00--or two thirds of the
crowd were opposed to Senator john
ston's party in this campaign. In this
article we shall spekak to 1872 subscri-
bera. Pretty good audience!
Ii should be remembered that two
weeks previous when we had the ap-
pontment at Lebanon, and Senator
Johnston wished division of time, we
promptly granted it. When Senator
Rlddleberger was asked by these same
parties who refused us last Tuesday
night, for q division of time, il was
cheerfully accorded them. The Read
justers are not afraid to be met.

yet it may take political revolution to

Here the conversation branched into
the different phases Of the movement of
which General Malone is the head, but
concerning these he did not care to talk
for the public ear. While the Press rep
