SSgS feSESKOUBSa The Somerset Herald. fTEPKESDAV, The Johnstown papers of last week announce that Charles S.Wood, President of the Cambria Iron Com- pativ, died in Philadelphia on Toes Jar,, the 27th inst. He was about seventv-three years of age. ' - -s Governor II abtranft has appoint- rd Edward Campbell, Esq., of Fay ette county, President Judge of the district ' composed of Fayette and Greene counties, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of Judge Gillmoro. Judge Campbell was a brave noldier of the late war. Again the city of Boston Las suf fered from a devastating fire, by which many of the finest buildings spared by the former conflagration have been destroyed. The losses are estimated a very large, but we hope that when a more accurate account of them can be obtained that, they will fall mate rially below the figures now given. . The only Democratic paper in the State of Rhode Island "went dead'' on Wednesday the 21st ult How completely the Democratic party is played out in that Ftaunch little state, may be iufercd irom this shaking fact la Lis valedictory the ed'tor says that the party is "too much im poverished or too indifferent to sus tain a journal.'' Mr. Crepweli., states that the pos tal cards cost the Government at the rate of $1 SC per thousand. The or ders up . to the present date Lave reached the enormous amount of 2", 000,000, of which the cost to the peo ple will be $230,000, and to the Gov ernment $34,000. Allowing $16,000 for the additional expense of delivery, the net addition to the revenue is $200,000. The 4:falary grab" of the members of the Constitutional Convention, is deservedly calling forth from the press of the Fiate, quite as severe reprobation, as did the similar pro ceeding, of the members of the lu-st Congress. Restitution and explana tions, will soon be in order. Let our erring representatives in that hot house of reform forget not, that While the lamp holds out to burn The vilest jiuner may return the money of the people he has ille- j pally appropriated to his own use. A man in Indiana, who had his young wife spirited away from him by Ins father-in-law, met her recently on the street in company with her father, and naturally enough kissed her. But the father-in-law was en raged thereat, and thereupon fell up on his son-in-law and leat him unmer cifully. On the trial of this cruel parent for the assault thus commit ted, the Court decided that a man has a right to kiss his wife, wherever he finds her, all fathers-in-law aud mothers-in-law to the contrary not withstanding. Fome few things are being evolved from the tiresome debates and slip shod action of the Constitutional Convention among others the qual ifications of voters have leen ap parently fixed as follows. The vot er must have been a citizen of the United States at least one mouth pri or to the election, a resident of the State for one year, and of his elec tion district over two months ; State or county taxes must have been paid . one month before the election. The tickets must be numbered bv the election officer who receives them at me window, anu me cierts must en ter the number opposite the names on me poll list, i He voter may en dorse his name on the back of his ballot if lie so pleases, but is not com pelled to do so. In the election of County Commis sioners and Auditors, it appears to be contemplated that, the entire ltoard shall be elected at one time, and so murh of Ruckalew's cumulative luuujf fvh Das wen adopted, as w ill perm the elector to vote for on ly two out of the throe officers, com prising each of these boards. This is the same restriction now imtioscd in the election of Inspectors of elec tions, and will secure the minority party a representative in each ofl these boards vacancies occurring, the courts will appoint. On the questiou r the oath to lie taken by officials elected, or appoint ed, the debate has lieen wordv and windy, and the propositions to com pel Lard swearing quite as numerous . as they were absurd. . A majority of the convention however, has wisely concluded, that no amount of hard swearlng'will control the cupidity, or trammel tie conscience of a rogue and the following form of oath to be taken by all State, Judicial, Iegisla tire and county officials ' has Iwen adopted. "I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, obey, and defend the Constitution of the United State and the Constitution of thisCommon monwealth "and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity ; and I do further swear (or affirm), that I will not knowingly r-ccive, di- MEMnntAt day' appear to have! been universally observed throughout the countrv. This t "i bin.- tribute . , .11:.. to the memory of our ocau omnia is well calculated to keq. gretn in the hearts of the leoplo the valor, sacri fice and death of those who served and saved the country in its day of direst need. That a busy, hurrying people should thus voluntarily shake off the tolls and cares of business, and devote annually one day of each year to visiting and decoratiug the graves of those who fell in their coun try's cause, proves that gratitude and patriotism are national sentiments, and that the terrible iirice iaid for the perpetuity of the Uuiou is fully recognized and appreciated.

A fire broke out about eight o'clock this morning, and 1 now ruirimf on both sides of Washington street. ntur Boylston and Kssex streets. The Globe Theatre is destroyed. A north west wind prevails. The priucipal direction of the tire is now towards Harrison avenue, Hudson street and South Cove. The fire departments from the adjacent eities have been called upou. The streets in the vicinity of the fire arc blockaded with moving goods. When discovered the fire was in the upjier floor of Holey, Morse ACo's warehouse, and among the work shops, and the flames issuing from the roof. The piles were of light material, packed away, aud were like so much tinder, and before an alarm could be given great volumes of flames were rolling up fifty feet in to the air, and clouds of smoke rising. Tho heat was intense, and in twenty minutes the upper stories of the build ing from the front to tho roar, two hundred feet deep, was a mass of flames. The fire worked back into the stable of George F. Bouney, on Bumstead place, which runs out of Boylston street, near Washington stret and destroyed it eventually. The walls of the immense edifice fell iu and crushed to atoms the extensive gallery of Jourdain with all the ex tensive stores beneath it. On the op posite corner of Fuvette court the flames soon spread to another great building, and that was also destroyed including Nos. 403 aud 405 and 40(5 Washington street. The premises were occupied by Rhods, Ripley A: Co., clothing; J. W. Breckett, pianos; George Foster, hat3 ; F. F. Libby, dry goods, and George F. White, millinery. The flames crossed Wash ington street, and Chickerings splen did granite building, with its im mense frout, and the Globe Theater, arc iu ruins. The fire has also caught the steeple of the Presbyte rian church, corner of Beach street and Hanson avenue, and the spire is in a mass of flames 11a. m.

The flee ing Modocs cried out, "run quick, run quick I the soldiers are coming." Capt. Jackson deployed his skirm ishers along the face of the bluff, and, thou&rh expecting to receive a heavy fire, the men ran tothe frout like deer, under the lead of the officers, t-ud denlv the Modocs conversant with English cried out, "surrender, surrender, we no fight : we want to talk peace : we like peace talk." Bos ton Charley, the murderer of Rev Dr. Thomas, came in full view and was immediately covered bv a dozen rifles. Charley offered ; to surrender and was allowed to come Into camp As he feared the Warm Spring scouts, he threw down his rifle and extended bis hand in token of friendship. The proffered memlier was cordially grasp ed by the scouts. ext he was ta ken to the other Modoc captives and by them iutrodueed.

It is a subject on which the Government is more uneasy than the ordinary citizen, be cause it is one which must be deci ded at least in the first instance, bv the President and his Cabinet. As the question now stands, the military will retain possession of the Modocs until they are demanded by some su perior power, meaning that they will not hesitate in retaining them in rig id confinement until adequate author ity is shown for their release or trans fer. The point likely to be developed is that the Indians will !e demanded by the Governor of Oregon as crim inals from justice, and that the troops, not knowing the effect of such a de mand, will submit the question to Washington, and be governed by the decision made here. Whether the Government will permit this course remains to lie seen.

The importance of the Japanese mission can scarcely be overestimat ed, and the President will not appoint a totally inexperienced man to that position.

Among the few men mention ed for that position, the name of Hon. George S.

It is impos sible to give now all the losses, or even the names of all the losers by the fire to-day, but it can be said that Washington street, west side, from Avery street to Boyleston street, is nearly or quite destroyed. On tin other side, from Hayward place to Essex street, little is left to show what existed there. While the fire was burning mem bers of E. . Kinsley Post, Grand Army of the Republic, were assem bling at headquarters in the third story front ofthe Globe Theater build ing, preparatory to observance of Decoration day. It was soon dis covered that the attention ofthe mem bers would better be devoted to mov ing out, and the work was begun. Tbe Post had a great quantity of valuable property, much of which was saved, including valuable por traits, regalia, belts and some hooks and papers. The heavy cases of books and blanks of the headquartesr ofthe Department of Massachusetts and of the Department of t)ie United States could not bo got out, but were forced open and the record books and a few other valuables removed. A very large amount of valuable books and blanks, however, was lost. The Globe Theater company saved nearly all their wardrobes. At a quarter past ten Companies I and K of the Ninth Regiment who were in the procession for the Dec oration parade at South Boston, left the line and proceeded to the scene of the conflagration, and d'd good serv ice in keeping back the crowd so that the firemen could work.

Not a shot other than the ac cidental one was nreii. iiai iiaus- brauck formed the desired connection in time the entire band would have been killed or captured. It was im possible for his command to accom plish the task. His troops did all that could be done by any men. They rode over fragments of lava, and ond mile further than the dis tance ridden by Captain Jackson's command. The surjirisp resulted in the su.rrenilcr of Boston Charley, Princess Mary, the sister of Captain Jack, Black Jim's woman, five other female Modocs from nine to ninety years of age, and captured seven ponies and mules. 1 he .Modocs ac tually slipped from the grasp of the troops. There was no help for this. Jack's retreat this time was inside of the canon through which runs Willow creek. The canon has precipitous sides, averaging forty feet high. There are few places where the canon can be entered by troops within six miles T)f Jack's last home.
