Washington C. De Panw,

OF FLOYD COFSTT.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1871.

'•'The Way the Money Goes." Victor T. Powell, a clerk in the Second Auditor's office, was arrested Tuesday, charged with frauds in connection with bounty claims against the Government.^ The amount specified is $10,000, but it is said an investigation will show the amount to be over $100,000. It is also rumored that an ex-member of Congress is implicated.

That Is number one. The next, in the last twenty-four hours, is the news that yesterday W. B. Stokes, ex-Radical Congressman, ex-candidate for Governor of Tennessee, aud present Supervisor of Internal Revenue for that State, was arretted on his arrival at Washington, charged with defrauding the Government of $60,000. The only tiling which surprises us in this case is the contemptible amount stolen.

There is an ex-Congressman absolutely suffering himself to be out-stolen by a clerk in the Second Auditor's office. "How are the mighty fallen." Why, Stokes, you are a disgrace to the men with whom you have formally associated. A mere clerk is a better thief than you are by $40,000. We are ashamed of you.

TIIK recent drought in Michigan, which has lasted, in some sections, for fully two months, and by which it was made possible for the late conflagrations to assume such immense and disastrous proportions, is supposed by many of her citizens and sufferers by the fire to have been without a parallel in the history of that State. This, however, is a mistake. The drought of 1855 was fully as severe, although it had no such disastrous results. In that year farmers came for quite a number of miles around to Detroit river for water. Fine and mild weather continued uninterruptedly until lute in December: but no rain "fell for more than sixty days. On the 17th of October, 1853, the city of Detroit was thrown into great excitmeut by thereport that the woods in some neighboring seetious of the State were in flames, destroying houses, fences, stock, etc. The smoke was so dense as to almost entirely prevent business, and the greatest alarm and consternation prevailed everywhere. That season, owing to the dryness of the weather, was remarkably prolific of lires in Detroit, and many valuable buildings were destroyed.

TUB angRlic disposition of newspaper men is beautifully illustrated in Chicago. For years tho Ji»i£4and

Tribune

of that

city have been at swords' points, so to speak, und have missed no opportunity to impalo each othor on the point of a merciless paragraph. Mr. Medill, of tho

Tri

having been noniinatod for Mayor, tho

Times

leads manfully in his support,

and is laboring earnestly for his election. But probably nothing short of the great calamity could havo brought it about.— Cincinnati Enquirer.

This is only "the beginniug of the end." All over th$ county the wisest and best men are beginning to see and feel tho necessity of ousting the men, who, for tho last several years, have crawled into important political positions, and putting better men in their places, irrespective of the party to which they may belon?. The country wants better

men

in office, or stealing will be

come so common, that, unless a man is a great thief, hecan not move in respectable society.

"LET us have peace," said the President, and to-day the sabre clatters and the .bayonet glitters in South Carolina. Its Radical Governor is deposed in a portion of the State, and Radical Judges driven from the bench. No matter whether the coudition of affairs in the State is satisfactory to the people of the State or not, they are not to be consulted. Our military President is to be the judge as to what is proper for the people of a State. Governor Scott and the Legislature of South Carolina were of opinion that everything was well enough, or else they would have taken steps t» make it right but under the new dispensation, they are saved the trouble by the intervention of the Commander-in-Chief.

THERE is one clause that conttactors for National Government buildings never fail to put Into their proposals now-a-days, aud that is that Seueca sand-stone Is to be used wherever a stone can be laid. Ic don't matter what the price is so the stone is used. It never fails to secure the coutraut. Some enterprising contractor desiring to secure a contract for a stone fenoe around a National Cemetery at San Antonio, Texas, actually agreed to lay the Seneca stone, and got the job, through it is said that it will cost about a dollar per square foot to get the stoue from Mr. Grant's quarry to Texas. gggggA

THE destruction of life and property by the great fires in the Northwest is now said to hare been much greater than reported. Men and women destroyed themselves, parents cut their children's throats, hundreds leaped into wells, aud crowds perished by inches. It is doubtful if such horrible scenes were ever before known in this country. They literally beggar description. It is reported that over 3,000 lives were lost.

THE President does not propose to rectify the blunder of placiug Marion -wyptf' un,«r

law, notwithstanding it is known to him to be one of the most peaceable in the State. The administration operates upon t'le principle of the fellow who swore a horse was sixteen feet high. A lie well

stuck to is as good as the truth in creat-

ing Radical political capital.

THE foreign capital now invested in the steamships, which ply between New York and European ports, is estimated at upwards of 828,000,000 paying a highly profitable and steadily increasing percentage to the owners, which, for the greater part, comes out of our pockets. The American capital invested in the same business is 0, owing to the fostering care of '•'Protection."

Northern Fires—Heart-Rendering Scenes. [L. P. Chapin, of this city, hasreceived the following letter from his brother Rev. John E. Chapin, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Neenah, Wisconsin, which vividly portrays the recent events in that vicinity:]

NEENAH, WIS., Oct. 11,1871.

DEAR BKOTHER Our minds here are so occupied and overwhelmed with tne reports of the calamities which are pouring in upon us from all sides, that we can scarcely do anything but talk and write about it. It seems iike a promonition of the great aud last day. Smoke has been ascending in great volumes in all parts of the country,and so filled theair^that it has been painful and oppressive. It was so dense that our State Fair at Oshkosh was quite seriously incommoded. The horses that trotted could not be seen more than half way round the ring. The windows had to be shut down tight in some of our very svarm days, to keep the smoke out and make it tolerable within. Fire, too, has been sweeping in all directions, threatening farms and villages, and keeping the population on the watch, if not hard at work all the time. Every village and city in this region have been seriously threatened. All our engines and firemen have been out twice to stem the tide of fire that was sweeping toward us. You could not go anywhere on a railroad but you would see smoking forests, and burning fences or groves. Houses aud farms here and there have been destroyed and quite a number of lives.

But this is nothing compared with the appalling disasters that are now rending every heart. All the fears aud sufferings and threatenings of the last three weeks have concentrated in two great tragedies—the one at Chicago, laying waste a great city in one night, and the other at Peshtigo, a village of 1,700 people some distance above us. VVhile we were hearing the terrible news from Chicago, another messenger from Green Bay brought word that Peshtigo was totally burned, and 70 lives lost. It seemed iike many of the rumors before heard—an exaggeration, but this morning I was at the depot awaiting the train which was to bring some of our people from thedisaster, and I found, a in other cases, that instead of an exaggeration no language could do it justice. More than twenty persons got off at our station, utterly stripped of their all, scarred, singed and maimed in the terrible disaster—some blistered and sore, others blackened and scorched. One little boy six years old was carried off' with a foot and leg tied up a man was led away, supported between two friends a women and her two daughters with their eyebrows apd hair burned off a little girl four years old, the only survivor of a whole family—mother, father, brother and sisters all consumed a man man dreadfully burned and helpless, who, in spite of his desperate exertions, saw his wife*and two little girls perish in the flames.

Yesterday near 150 bodies were buried near the smouldering ruins. Two hundred and seven have already been found. The river is to be dragged today, scores more, it is believed, will be recovered. Seventy-one bodies have been found scattered ti.rongh the woods, burned as they were overtaken by the fire. Not less than three hundred, it is believed, have perished in and near that place. Only think of a village of 1,700 inhabitants utterly destroyed by fire in an hour Not a habitation, not a stable or shed, not a fence or po-st, not a shop or bridge, and the people, who were spared from death, scattered over the country like blasted leaves before a storm

How could it happen It seemed impossible to believe ic until an eye-wit-ness described what he could note and remember in such fearful circumstances It was so sudden aud terrific that the inhabitants could attend to nothing but their own safety.

The village was so situated upon both sides of a river, over which there were bridges. Several saw mills and manufacturing establishments were planted along this stream. The streets were covered in all directions with sawdust, just as some are supplied with gravel. Right up to the very edge of the town on the south and west, came a dense forest, with here and there a farm as it exteuded back in the country. Where there had been fire all around the town for the proceeding week or two, so that* it was pretty well burnt over in its immediate vicinity, and, besides, ditches had been cut around the town ou all sides, the inhabitants had come to feel quite secure.

But on last Sabbath evening, just as the congregations were returniug from services, between 8and 9 o'olock, a great roaring sound was heard off to the southwest, something like a great tempest comiug on. The wind was blowing briskly from that quarter, out not enough to produce that sound. Mr. Bentleysays that, thinking he might be needed to watch at the mill, he went into his house to change his clothes. When he returned to the door, he found that the sound had come nearer, and the whole heavens in the southwest were red with flames. Sparks and tougues of fire were shooting above the tops of the trees. In an instant the truth was comprehended. The -forest was on fire! It came sweeping on like the wind, roaring aud blazing and leapiugup .as if it would mingle

heaven and earth in a commou ruin. The sparks ami flaming fagots were carried high over the trees, and far in advance by the wind and when the fire had come near tbe village, agreatshower of tire was rained all over it. THUS it was on lire in every part at ouce, the sawdust iu the streets and the wooden houses igniting instantly.. In twenty minutes from the time the' Tdar was first heard iu the forest, the whole town was in flames, and the countty around it. The people rushed from their houses iuto the kindling flames, striving only to save themselves aud their loved one:?. Teams from the country came rushing in. One wagon containing women and children, and driven by a man, was upset before they got to the river bridge. The teams behind plunged over and on them, crushing aud slaying them in their fright. A man, a book-keeper of one of the large establishments, was warned by a friend, but, on looking out of his boarding house, he saw it was impossible to get his wife and little family away, and he said, "I'll stay and die with them." The only safety was in reaching the river. Mr. Beutley and his wife reached it after great hazard, aud plunged in to their neeka, he holding her, and every few minutes they dipped their heads under the water to keep them from buruing. Some, nearer to the fire, had their hair aud whiskers burned off while up to their heads in water till they were nearly drowned. The fire from the two sides of the town met over the river like a great arch, and some were burned to death after they reached it. The Are

tronged with a rushing tide of human beings, and they were prostrated with suflocation almost instantly, and were consumed with the bridge. Horses aud cows and dogs rushed wildly about, jBometimes right into the consuming

Kflame-

\*70TV» 1

Next morning their carca.s-e*

were found mingled with the human bodies as they lay scattered about the streets and along the river. One poor horse followed his master until he mounted a great pile of lumber, and not being able to follow further, he turned and plunged right into the fire. The people who were burned were mostly in the streets, Nine bodies of women and children were found in one heap. A woman was found dead with a child in each arm, also dead. A husband and wife were found standing, charred dead, with their arms around each other's necks. A man seized his sick wife, and told his little daughter, a beautiful girl, to stick close to him. As he rushed through the smoke and fire he looked round once or twice aud saw her struggling on after him, but when he got to the river with his wife his little girl was gone, and the next morning he found her roasted body.

These, my dear brother, are the prominent incidents intbisappallingcalamity.

But under the banner ou which we have written, "All goods sold for Cash," "No High Prices," No big profits," "Courteous and Honorable treatment to all," and through the splendid support given us by the people, we have not only tri umphed in the contest, but our business has increased so rapidly that we have been compelled to build up the Entire Depth of our lot, thus giving us in our three floors and basement, by far the largest Dry Goods establishment in this part of the State, It is clear that the masses of the people are with us and that they appreciate our efforts to give them the
