NEW YORK, December 1.-THE in
vestigatiOn of the fire at the Fifth Av-
enue Hotel, at the Office of Fire Marshal
McSpedor, was concluded this morning
by the examination of Officer James


Mccormack, of the Twenty-ninth pre-
cinct. The witness testified that at the


time of the fire he came through
Twenty-secOnd street from Fourth ave-
enue, and at the corner of Broadway he


met young man who asked him if he


had heard any screams. de re-


piled that he had not; but after stand


ing few minutes on the east side of


Broadway he did hear screams, and


saw a man running down the sidewalk


on the west side of Broadway. he


crossed over and asked him what was


the matter, when he was told that the


Fifth Avenue Hotel was on fire. The


officer asked the man if ne was sure that


such was the case, when he was an
swered in the affirmative. Officer Me


Carmack then went to an alarm-bOX
opposite the Glenham Hotel and sent
out an alarm. He heard no cry of 'tire"
after sending out the alarm. He re-
manned at the alarm-bOX until an en-
gine arrived, and told the engineer
where the fire was. The engineer came,
he thought, in two or three minutes
after he had sounded the alarm. He
then went up to Twenty-third street,
called an officer on that beat and went
to the Front door of the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, where he remained until the re-
serve force arrived. The witness thought
it was about eleven o'clock when he
sent out the alarm. It was about five
minutes, he thought, after that when he
was asked if he had heard screams.

Your correspondent has always assert

and disloyal principles proclaimed before.
during and since the rebellion, but in
fraudulent dissimulation of their real SEN
timents for the purpose of getting office.
This we have asserted is especially true
of the Southern ex-rebels, who almost to
a man retain the same sentiments upon
which the campaign of 1868 was prose-
cuted. These, however, are the very
men who want Office the worst and who
therefore cry out loudest in favor of the
milder views of the Cincinnati platform
as espoused at Baltimore.


Since the disastrous results of the Octo-
Der election have made the weakness of
the Greeley coalition apparent, some of
the Democratic papers both North and
South begin to disavow the humbug that
was cooked up at Baltimore and are now
engaged in vomiting the crow which
their heated stomachs cannot any longer
retain and refuse to digest.


The last sample of this very natural
result of the boiling of food incompatible
with Southern stomachs is given a re-
cent editorial of that unscrupulous Gree
ley, organ the Savannah Ne,OS. 1t says:


What is to be the effect of these cleo
tions on the Presidential canvass few
days will develope. 1t is very possible
that the loss Of these States will give
new impetus to the Straight-out move
ment, and that thousands Of Democrats
who had made up their minds to the er-
1ed5ency of sustaining the Cincinnati
nominees, wtU (dU buck upon tie p1't,t-
cipte they haze aeUer dbdndOned, and
either vote the Straight out ticket or take
no interest in the contest"


This confession of fraud and dishonesty
at Baltimore is called forth by the mani
fest prospect of utter defeat under the
coalition, and is only made when there is
nothing to gain by further assembling.
Yet Greeley and Sumner were seconded
by some of the verdant Republicans in
their assurances that the Democrats want
reconciliation, earnestly desire pacihca-
ton Of the country and would faithfully
carry out the reconstruction laws and the
amendments made to the Constitution for
the settlement Of the status of the freed
men. General Hunter, Hon. John Black,
and Governor Smith, of Maryland, de-
MED this openly, and every time a sine
cure Democrat speaks upon the subject
he gives it the lie directly or indirectly,
yet despite these damning proofs Of their
guilty bargain and sale for control Of the
Government, we are still called upon to
believe in the earnestness of the com
pact. Yet few days and the sun will
not shine on a man so weak as to believe
in this trick Of dissimulation, for after the
November election there will be an open
remuneration Of the compact by the Dem
ocratic party.

THEY GIVE UP THE FIGHT. - The
Greeleyites in the East have given up the
fight since the October elections, and it is
stated that their national headquarters in
Washington have been closed, and their
campaign documents that remained on
hand were sold for waste paper. The
condition Of the party is about the same
in California. They were not able to
drum up one hundred voters to hear their
candidate for Congress in this city on
Wednes day night, and now it is nm
nounced that 10 Hamilton, one of the
warehouses Of the party and candidate for
Elector, has withdrawn from the fight.

The Chicago Times thinks there are
fifty thousand Democratic voters In In

Greeley and Brown in that State by if

has its most glorious illustration in the work
of the Lord Jesus himself When the Son
of God undertook to save men he condescend-

likeness of sinful flesh, without the contami-

level, identifying himself With the race, that
in the end he might elevate those who should
believe on him to his own dignity, and make
them sharers of his throne. Now, of course,
this case is unique and peculiar. There
never can be another precisely like it. No

underlies his great redemptive work is capa-

clearly understood and acted upon by all

lowmen. We must put ourselves on some
common ground of sympathy, and identify
ourselves in some measure with those whom
we desire to benefit, otherwise our exertions

1t is uncomfortably true that there is al
most as much distress of mind experienced
in the anticipation as in the realization Of
trouble. About half of our unhappy days
are occasioned by our looking forward to
the unhappiness of the other half.


"Suficient unto the day is the evil there
off," We need never take another jot on
credit. In borrowing trouble, natural laws
are reversed: mere mole-hills of annoyance
become mountains when viewed at distance
ahead. Some persons never take actual
comfort. In tranquil times the dread Of a
coming change is always in the way of their
enjoyment. 1 know Of one family that was

We have any right to expect. Our anticipa-

compassion and finging patches of darkness
over many bright scene for months, for us
to find at last that we have been guilty of
needlessly, we might say almost criminally,
robbing ourselves and others of the happi'

Make the conversion Of your husband,
next to the salvation of your own soul, your
great object in life Dwell upon the thought
of eternal separation from him, until it shall
force you to agonize for him in prayer. Try
to win him mainly by the sweet and silent
force of Christian life. Look constantly
to God for aid, and endeavor to illustrate as
well as you can before him the beauty and
excellency of vital piety. Let him see that
religion makes one fit for the duties of life
as well as meet for the saints inheritance in
light-that you can only be the more cheer
full and contented and self-denying and un-
selfish and loving and mindful of his COM
fort, because the love of God has been shed
abroad in your heart by the Holy Ghost.
Let him learn from all your department that
your great love has only impaired deeper
sacredness and sweetness and tenderness to
the wifely love of your heart.


Use your influence as far as you can to
bring his mind in contact with saving truth.
Ask him to read the Word Of God with you.
Tell him your earnest longing to be one with
him in hope as you are in love. Beg his
escort to the prayermeeting and the Sab.
bath service, morning and night. And final
ly, be mild but resolute in the assertion of
Christian principles. Beware of that sophis-

betrays duty. Never go to places or engage
