DOVER, DEL. Jan. 3.-The Legis-

but all the Democratic members
were on hand, ready for to-night's
caucus, and the usual crowd OF ap-
plicants after official positions were
on deck, promptly on-holing
each unfortunate member as he made
his appearance.
Representatives Bradford and
Swayne, of the Republican dele
ton from New Castle County, ar
rived ON the three O'Clock train.
The other Representatives and
Senator Betts came down ON the
evening train.
IL was apparrant from the first that
lively struggle was in progress for the
Clerkships of the two Houses. At first
there was general impression that
Harry Colclazer would easily walk
away with the Senate prize but 1t
soon became apparent that the &C i've
canvass made by Hiram T. Downing,
Of Georgetown, and his friends, was
not without its results. Geo. Shakes
peare, of Dover, was also making a
hopeful effort, with Joseph Lewis, Of
Pennington, bringing up the rear.
The Speakership contest was decid-
ed on the fiest ballot, there being no
concentrated opposition 70 senator
Catesby F. Rust, of Sussex, who ro-
celved five votes, TO two for Senator
Pennewill, of Kent, and one blank. -
The domination was of coarse, made
unanimous.
There were Ave ballots for Clerk,
but how they resulted is not positively
known, except that Hiram +. Down.
ing secured five votes on the fifth bal

Forest and prairie fires are always fear
full spectaeles which inspire the commu-
mites near them with terror, but the
forest fires in Michigan are something
more than this; they are CONGREGATIONS
which sweep in resistless pillows Of flame
over vast areas of country, devouring
everything before them-woods, grass,
leaves, farms, grain stacks, barns, dwell
ings, cattle and human beings. About
ten years ago these fires broke out IN
Northwestern Michigan and North
eastern Wisconsin in the vicinity of Lake
Michigan, and swept onward till
quenched BY the waters of the lake. The
hourishing lumber town of Peshtigo and
one or two smaller hamlets were burned
to the ground, and fifty or sixty persons
persisted in the cruel flames, many saving
their lives only BY fleeing to the lake and
plunging up to the neck in the waters
till the fires ceased. The confsgra-
ton Of last Monday week is a
similar visitation to that which con
sumed Peshtigo ten years ago, but
of wider extent, and far more awful in
the havoc which attended it. The scene
of it is the peninsula between Lake HUI
ron and Saginaw Bay, lying north Of
Detroit, in the n)rthesst corner OF the
State. 1t is q new region. and appears
% have been inhabited mainly by recent
immigrants. who had just completed the
harvest of a bountiful crop of grain and
grass The face of the country was
parched by the long drought that has
prevailed over nearly the whole country,
till grass, stubble, foliage, fences, straw
and houses were in that inhammsble
condition which needs but a spark to
wrap the whole landscape in flames.
The fire broke out Monday last, and
ragged for three days, ceasing not till the
flames, blown by the southwest wind.
reached the waters of Lake Huron. The
shocking recital tells US that the people
persisted by the hundred. One estimate
places the number of lives lost at
/, 900, and even the more cautious state
ment, signed by Senator Conger and the
Mayor and citizens of Port Huron, places
it at 400. 1t is enough to chill the blood
with horror to reflect that these hundreds
of unfortunate persons, chiefly farmers
families, were burned to death by fire
they could not resist nor escape-falling
in family groups in the fields or forests,
or on the road, where their bodies, roast
ed to crisps, tell the piteous story of
their wild fight and their unhappy death.
The wide area of two or three counties
was involved in the confagration, and
over this area, once covered with thrifty
farms, but suddenly converted into a
blasted sshen waste, lie the burned
bodies Of men, women and children, who
persisted as they ran, like the inhabitants
Of Herculaneum and Pompeii. The
long drought that has afflicted the land
has left the dismal traces of its visitation
in at least half the Union, but no such
awful calamity has attended it elsewhere
as these fires in Northern Michigan.

The Mormon Nuisance.

The worst class of immigrants that are
brought to our shores is undoubtedly he
Mormon contingent, made up of dupes
and deyotees from the most ignorant and
degraded of European populations. Over
two thousand have been sent from the
single port of Liverpool during the cur
rent year, and probably as many more
have found their way into the country
unheralded. If, as it is the f.. hion of
the dominant political party to declare,
there is authority resident in the Fede-
raj Government to uproot these pestilent
fanatics, and, besides, design TO accom-
plish such purpose. it would seem to
be stupendous folly to permit the con
slant increase of their power by foreign
and domestic migrations. Every year
they are better entrenched IN their posi-
ton. Whatever may be the future policy
of the Federal Government, there will be
great force in the plea, which the Nor
mons will inevitably set up, that they
have acquired their foothold in the Ter
ritories of the United States under the
tscit sanction Of our laws. Whatever
may possibly be done to abate this pesti-
lential nuisance should be done promptly

London has become tremendously ex-
cited, all at once, about the filthy con
dition Of the Thames from sewage. and
there Is sufficient reason for agitation.
The refuse Of the metropolis is dis
charged into the Thames about thirteen
miles below London Bridge That would
seem to be far enough down, but it has
been found that not only is the water of
the river Wiley pernicious and dangerous
to health, but the heavier portions Of the
sewage are slowly, but surely, creating
banks Of deposit in the channel, the
effect Of which is felt far above London
Bridge. Sewage engineers are some
Whist puzzled 10 account for the un-
doubted fact that a good part Of London
refuse is working up stream instead Of
down. The theory advanced is that the
heavier deposits, which settle at the
bottom are not disturbed by the gradual
turn Of the tide down stream, but are
agitated and carried back by the more
sudden up flow. Il is probable that
enormous works viii hsve to be under
taken very soon 10 satisfy the demands

have all their superstructures, stations,
