PROFITABLE FIRE.-The following is from
the Chico Enterprise:
Many of our farmers who had wheat
stored in the warehouse at Durham have
made money and are in pocket by the fire
The insurance companies made very liberal
estimates of the losses to begin with, and
gave the farmers the injured wheat besides
This smoked wheat has been in great de-
mand for feed, farmers coming from all the
section around to buy it, and it has been
sold as high as S12 a ton. The result has
been that the owners have, on the whole,
received more for their wheat than if the
fire had not occurred. One man, who has
been curious enough to figure the matter
out, calculates that he has received the same
by the ire as if he had sold his wheat at
81 As, which is several cents above the best
price yet offered in the market here. 1t is
seldom that fire proves profitable to any,
body, but it certainly has in this case.

GRANT AND JOHNSON.
What Ex-senator Cole Thinks of the De-
pew Letter,

Cornelius Cole who was United States
Senator from California in the DAYS of re-
construction, and who is now engaged in
the practice of law in San Francisco. said.
IN regard to Chauncey Depew's letter: q
do not believe that President johnson I'M
dertook any such scheme as that mentioned
in Depew's letter, in order to be admitted to
a social footing with Southerners. He
might have done so out of political ambi-
ton, which in him was intense. Johnson
was during the war, and at the close of it, a
bitter hater of the South and the Southern
leaders. Afterward he Topped over and
favored general amnesty to the South. l
attributed that to his unfriendliness toward
leading men of his own party. When Lin
coin was asSassinated there were many Re-
publicans in Washington who suspected
thas Johnson had had hand in his taking
off in order to forward his own ends. The
feeling between him and them was of a
quarrelSome nature. Johnson was of a hot
proud disposition and felt his power as
President. In fact he thought he had
| more power than actually belonged to him
He probably supposed that by a coup
d etat with regard to the South, he might
not only gain its support for second Presi-
Dental term, but also punish those Repub-
licans whom he considered his enemies. He
intended to show them that he was master.
The amnesty itself was looked on more as
q matter of Questionable policy than prob
able treason. 1t was said then that Lin
coin, shortly before his assassination, ex-
pressed himself in favor of restoring all
their rights to the people of the South after
peace was declared
Senator Cole asked If all this be true
about Johnson's plot, what must be
thought of Seward. Seward continued in
his Cabinet and was warm friend of the
President He certainly must have been
informed of Johnson's scheme, as related
in Depew's letter, and it does not appear
that he tried to dissuade the President from
carrying il out"

avenue and FaTer street, which exploded
with a loud report, shattered one. of the

that the explosive was dynamite. There
was only one passenger in the car, and he

PIERRE'S CHANCES.

The southern members in the legislature
still hold the combined strength below
the 46 parallel aud claim enough votes
pledged to pass the bill introduced in
both houses to remove the capital to a
point south of that line. Any place would
be more accessible than Bismarck. The
southern members now have to go to st.
Paul and take the Northern Pacific road
to reach Bismarck, crossing Minnesota
twice in their fight to the capital. At a
caucus of the southern members to con.
slider the capital removal question vote
was taken. Pierre received majority
over all other aspirants and will probably
be selected as the choice of the south.
1t is not known whether the Governor
would sign such a bill il passed. although
number claim he has already convicted
himself in favor of the majority side of
the question. However, if he refuses tc
favor the scheme, it may be possible to
secure two-thirds vote and pass it over
his veto.
