ANOTHER HORROR. The Newhall
house, q six story brick building on the
corner Of Michigan street and Broad
way, Milwaukee, Wis, was burned on the
10th, The fire was discovered at 4 A. NJ.
In less than half an hour the whole

seems that the utmost terror prevailed,
the inmates of the doomed building es-

DEATH OF G. J. BAsKErr.-Among

DEATH OF G. j. BASKET. TT.-Among
the pioneers of Oregon few are better
known than G. J. Baskett, who came
to Oregon in 1S4S and settled upon a
donation claim adjoining Col. Nesmith's
place at Dixie, Polk county, and his
death will be read with regret by all
who knew him. He died at San Louis
Obispo, Cal, last Thursday. For
some TIME Mr. Basket has been in poor
health, and through advice of his physi-
clan he sought a milder climate in
hopes Of Improvement but the dis
ease-dropsy-had taken too firm a
hold, and on last Thursday the sad news
was received by his family that he was
dead. He was gentleman in every
sense Of the word, a good neighbor,
husband and father.

occurred about the middle of December
last. No lives were lost but many cat

stroyed. The houses Of Messrs. Scott
and Masters were swept away bodily
and afterwards went to pieces. The

not great deal entirely lost Robert
Vanderburg's shanty moved down
stream about two rods, but remained
right side up with care. The house
looks as if it had been built where it
now stands At Harlng's place, during
this rise, the water was four feet high

higher, and at Florence about eighteen
inches higher than ever before within
the recollection Of the oldest seItlers.
Lindsey lost five head of cattle, Safely
lost all he had on the river Jo Nor
ris lost five head. Haring had to swim
his cattle across .he river. The most
of the settlers had to take refuge on

Lindseys were the only ones on the
north fork who did not have to climb.

The Pacific coast delegation in con-

cision of the attorney general that un-
.aer the Chinese restriction bill China
men can pass through this country on
their way from the West Indies to
their homes In China. It is asserted
that there are about twenty thousand
Chinese coolies now in the West Iudles
whose contracts are about expiring and

pass through the United States. Most
of them will escape from the cars oil

Gen. Rosecrans, member from the
ssh Francisco district, in California, said
this evening that he was of the opinion
that tie attorney generals decision
would make the administration VERY
unpopular in the Pacific coast states
and if it is found thai many Chinese
took advantage of the decision to get
here and remain in this country the Pa
ciic coast will demand legislation to
prevent it. A bill is pending in
the senate, introduced last session by
Gen. Logan, to allow Cinnamon to pass
through the cofntry and then return
to their homes California, Oregon
and Nevada senator's have prevented
it SO far from being referred or col.sid-

The Vieksburg Post having called on
us for an expression in regard to the
killing of J. T. Matthews, we stated
briefly that we desired the purity of the
ballot; We wished to see every man cast
his vote unmoles.ed, ard to have that
vote properly counted. At the same
time we did not deem it necessary to
give much space to the discussion of
this particular case, as the accused was
in the hands Of the law, and we felt that
the people of Copiah were competent to
take care of themselves. The Brook
haven Leader does not seem to like this
Now, we are sorry that we cannot please
our friends of the Leader and Post, and
few other journals that seem to think
it incumbent upon US to indulge in un-
qualified condemnation of the people of
Copiah county. On the contrary we have
an abiding faith in the virtue and ins-
tice of the people of that county, and
We believe that if an unprovolled muir.
der has been committed. the good eiti-
Gems of the County will, through the
law, punish the murderer as be deserves,
and that he will be accorded the fair and
impartial trial to which he is entitled.

The Republican Gail.

The call for the next National Repub-
lican Conventson is without reference to
past political differences. First, to those
who are in favor of elevating and digni-
flying American labor. This is indeed
throwing the doors wide open, and
would, doubtless, if all called should
answer, swallow up the bulk of the
Democrats. But we think our party
will lay claim to a few Of this class. If
all thus cordially invited were to accept,
their path TO victory would be easy.
But to extend invitations is easy to Sc
cure their acceptance is more difficult.
Next, they must be in favor of extend
ing and protecting home industry. All
will be glad to see it extended, but the
insertion of the word protecting" was
fatal. A very large class will decline to
be represented, if they must protect " in
FAINT industries" which have had discrim.
nation in their favor for several de
cades. The Democratic party can claim
a distinction here, by asking for those
who are in favor of levying tariff
purely for the purpose of revenue, and
not take into account its effect upon oul
industries. II the Democratic party
will take issue upon this point and set
| themselves right upon one other ques
tion-that of the currency and the
banks, by advocating the payment OF
the national debt and the repeal of the
law authorizing the rechartering of the
banks and the issuance of a Government
paper currency in lieu of the bank notes
as they are retired-it will take tenable
ground, and the number that will flock
to the standard of the party will be sufTi.
