The Best Possible Selection.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-The Washing
ton Critic of to-day again takes up editori-
ally the suggestion of Virginia editor, that
Postmaster General Villas be selected
to deliver the Grafton on the occasion
of the Grant memorial services in congress
next winter, and says: ''Au things
considered, we doubt if any mora
acceptable person to the coun-
try at large could be designated
for the purpose named. Col Villas is a
fervent and imprisoned orator, and always
has ideas to match the enthusiasm of his
thoughts. He was gallant soldier in the
war, and as citizen of the Northwest,
where local prejudices do not abound, is
well fitted to represent all sections of the
Union in paying eulogistic tribute to one of
its most illustriOus defenders. 1t would be
IN an eminent degree proper, moreover, that
the orator of such day should be near to
the administration. 1t would add dignity
and impressivenesS to the ceremonies for a
Democratic cabinet official to pronounce the
in memoriam of Republican eX-president
and contribute largely to smooth away all
traces of partisan aSperity.n

self. One OF his remarks was to
| the effect that the generate
death was by far the greatest trial
he had been called upon to bear during his
stay III Ludlow street jail. This is borne
out by Wards appearance since the event
| occurred. He has become very thin and
| cadaverous, seldom appearing in the ward
of the Jail, and appears to have no desire
TO enter into the few amuSementS provided
| in the jail. That Ward is getting ready for
a vigorous defense is evidenced in MANY
ways. 1t is said that he has until lately
been possessed of large collection of
diamonds, but that recently he has disposed
OF them and that he has begun to economic
i'll many ways. He is reported
as having said that Gen. Grants
death and consequent inability to be-
present upon his trial would have
a very adverse effect upon his prospects of
acQulttaL. But with even this disadvantage
ne considers himself able to clear himself.
lie says the public feeling is wrought I'D

TO Gen. Grant or his history, especially such
parts OF II as relate to his connection with
the failure OF Grant IL Ward, and it is ex

brought about during the term of the court
OF oyer and terminer, which begins
IN November. Ward seldom speaks of
these matters in places where he is likely to
be overheard by strangers. He conducts
his affairs in careful and business like
way. Nothing is sighted, nothing is hur-
ried. a carriage is always standing at the
door of the Jail to be used in emergencies.
and frequent kilograms and letters are re-
ceived and dispatched during the day.
Ward is always cool. He has never been
heard to elevate his voice or show the
smallest trace of emotion of any kind dur
ing his long stay in the Ludlow Street Jail.

TorCnfoss Big Fire.

TORONTO, Ont, Aug. S.-The fire last
night was the most destructive that ever Oc-
CURED in this city. An hour after it broke
out in the eight-story glucose factory the
flames extended Tor half mile along the
south side of the Esplanade. Scores Of
vessels of all kinds were mOored at the
docks and all were destroyed. Henry
Wort, private Waterman, is known to have
persisted in the flames. The most exciting
scenes were on the craft at the docks. The
crews were cut off by the fire from the
docks. and as the vessels caught fire they
were forced to jump into the water and
swim for their lives; so rapidly did the fire
spread that the small boats were consumed
before they could be launched, and the
sailors in the water had to depend upon
theit own strength until tugs from the
outside could pick them up. As it
was many of them were badly
scOrched, and it is feared some fatally.
The exact loss or insurance cannot be
given, but the loss is estimated at over
million dollars. The glucose works were
valued at $3.50, 900. The schooner Annie
Melroy, valued at $50, 600, was burned to
the waters edge. Among other buildings
burned were number of boat houses; Alb
bolt Il Sons lumber yards; Walsh, James Il

virginia's Gubernatorial Candidate

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-If Fitzhugh Lee
proves as hard fighter in politics as he
was in war, ne will make it extremely in
teresting in the coming campaign in Vir-
ginia. When he graduated at West Point,
in 1856. he stood at the head of his class
in Workmanship and was assigned to
the Fifth cavalry, then the most
famous regiment in the service, as second
lieutenant. In May, 1859, he was shot
through the lungs, in an engagement with
the COmanche Indians. At the breaking
out of the war ne resigned his commission
and joined the Confederate army His
first service was at the battle of Manassas,
on the staff of Gen. Ewell. lie was soon
elected lieutenant colonel, then colonel of
the Firrt Virginia cavalry, and then
brigadier general of the First brigade, and
finally major general, becoming one
of the most brilliant cavalry commanders in
the Confederate service. At the battle of
Winchester, three horses were shot under
him. and he, himself, was badly wounded.
In the spring of 1865 he was placed in en-
tire command of the army of Northern Vir-
ginia. He was one of the three who, with
Gen. r. Z. Lee, composed the council of
war which decided upon the surrender at
Appomattox. As a soldier, it is said he
was never defeated when in independent
command OF an expedition.
