foothills Ofthe Cumberland mountains.
The moonshiners, being apprised of
his approach, organized, and taking a
six FOUNDER brass cannon, left there by

A BRISK FIRE.
Loss s5OO,OOO-One Thousand
Employees Thrown Out.

WAKEFIELD, MASS, March r.
About one O'Clock this morning fire
broke out in the new chair room in
the Wakefield rattan works, and soon
spread to the large four story build
ing used as basket and chair room,
which was quickly destroyed. The
flames then attacked the large four
story frame building, occupied as a
weaving room in the first story, with
the chair room overhead, and the
building was soon in ruins. The loss
will probably reach $500,0OO. Nearly
one thousand employees are out Of
work.

WHEN the LEDGER, last fall, called
attention to the fact, as it appeared to
be, that under the majority platform
adopted at Nashville coupons might
be made receivable for taxes, the Jack
son Tribune and Sun and the Nash
vile American dug up an anti-coupon
resolution which had escaped our at
tention. This they labeled Section
10, and kept it standing as a part OF
the orthodox high credit democratic
platform until the day Of the elec-
ton. In other words, they amended
the platform with a resolution which
was adopted before the bolt took
place, and the LEDGER accepted the
amendment. Now who would have
thought that these same papers and
Others of their class, would ignore
section 10, which caught so many
votes, and advocate any settlement
which makes coupons receivable for
taxes and turns the state over to the
federal courts? The American, al
least, is using its great ability and
powerful influence to secure such a
result. Who're SO much is preached
about good foith we would certainly
expect to fnd it practiced.

Vicksbure Com mercial.l
The New Orleans Democrat has the
following:
"The manner in which the mails
come. or rather don't come, to New
Orleans now ldays is simply shocking,
We trust the new postmaster general
will keep a rather sharper eye upon
his subordinates than seems to have
been kept upon them latterly by bis
predecessor: but, chiefly, that he will
compel the carriers Of the mails to per-
form their duty with atsleast decent
show of fidelity. We suspect the fault
is largely with these latter At all
events the situation is outrageous and
calls loudly for Investigation
The arrival, or rather the non -arri-
val. of the.mails in this city could not
possibly be worse. The arrival of a
mail on time is a rarity, and If it oc,
ours once week it is surprise. hail
contractors who fail to bring the mail
on time are liable to a fine for each
failure, and if the contractor should
be fined every time he fails hare II
would make round sum.

LONDON, March 12.-An attempt
was made to hold a political meeting
at Coventry last night, under the au-
spices of Arthur, 0Connor and Fin
nigan, home rulers. AS soon as O'Con.
nor rose to speak he was met by a
storm Of yells. He made several at
tempts to read Parrell's manifesto to
the Irish electors Of Coventry, urging
them to support the conservative can
didate at the supplementary election
that took place to day. Finally rush
was made to the platform, and free
fight ensued. The police cleared the
hall. The disturbance is attributed
to the extreme radicals.
