what it claims to be tbe Record of its

liam P. Schell. Iu another column
we supplement it with a few items
that evidently escaped the notice of
that journal. We add also a leaf
from th Legislative record of Xoyesj

Tbe votes of this pair of Democrat

John S. Mortox of Philadelphia,
President of the "Permanent Exposi
lion," and also of tho West Phila
delphia (Market Street) passenger
railway company, and a prominent
Democratic candidate for Governor
Las been arrested, with several other
officers of the latter company, for
fraudulently making an over issue of
its stock. Morton admits tbe crime
and states the over issue to be about
one and a half millions of dollars.
The Quaker City ia horriGed at tbe
fall of one of its hitherto most re-
r-jK-eted citizens, and its press, on
account of his former social position
we presume, speak as gingerly of
the thief as if his crime was a mere
peccadillo.
Says tie Philadelphia ,V"rft
Autfrii-aii : From every portion of
the country come reports of a revival
in business. St. Louis, Louisville,
St. Paul, Chicago, Cincinnati, Xw
Orleans, Mobile, Memphis, Charles
ton, and other cities in the west and
south, are experiencing a fresh impe
tus ia all branches of trade. It is
evident, according to tbe representa
tions of merchants throughout the
country, that tbe heavy clouds which
Lave Lung over cur industries and
business marts for so long a period
arc lifting, and that the sua t'f prcs
perity is about again to shed its in
vigorating beams over the land. In
our own city there are proofs, in tbe
activity among our mercantile houses
aud manufactories, that times are
rapidly growing Uctbpr a ad that tbe
wornt ie passed.
A Moxti other of t&e Democrat ie ad
mirers of the President's Southern
policy is Aleck Stephens of Georgia,
w ho is now at Washington for the
extra session of Congress. He says
that tbe reception of Mr. Hayes at
tbe South was a grand tribute to ft
Presideat whose administration Las
(ecn ia Accordance ith Lome rule,

of tue South, and tiat he las done

It was charged at the Uoie and
generally believed, that at tbej Late
Democratic State Convention Mr. P.
O. Bare of Pittsburgh was '-defeated,
fts ft cand idate for State Treasurer,
bciiusc to is a member of tbe Human

most certain and overwhelming tie-
Ifeat of their candidate lot btate
Treasurer the leaders of the Peiucc -
racv hare become desperate, and
are'
now trying to counteract" the effect"'
of their hyporisy and treachery to
Mr. Baur by cbarfing that the Re
publicans are buying up the Molly
Magnire vote for Col Hart, the can
didate of our nirty . This is bcapiog
insult upon injury. Rare was defeat
ed because bis religion was made a
test in the Convention, and now that
his friends and co-religionists resent
the outrage upon him, they are being
stigmatized as members of the Molly
Maguire association, whose votes they
alledge are purchased and paid for.
It is not our funeral, but it does look
to us as if the Democratic leaders
were mad, to expect the votes of men
whom they first proFcribo and then
traduce, because cf their religious
faith.
TnE President's frequent declara
tions during his Southern tour that
the rebels "risked their lives for their
convictions, and that all good men
and all good women respect those
who risk their all in a cause w hich
they believe to be right." is bearing
fruit according to its kind.
Thus, the Meredian Murvury, a
' leading Democratic sheet in Missis
sippi improves the text as follows :
Don't the Southern tax-payer contribute
bis iortion ot the money to pay pensions
to Northern soldiers and their widows and
orphans, while the Confederate soldiers
their widow and orphans arc neplected?
Southern member of Con cress believe as
firmly in the justice of the Confederate
cauc as the Northern members lie lie ve ia
the justice of the I'nion, and they sink
their manhood and eat dirt when they vote
appropriations lujienkion Federal soldiers
und their widows and orphans, to the ex
clusion of the confederate, A magnanimous
snvcrnnient should pension all.. They are
all victims of a civil war, and a pacified
L'ovnrnmeut cannot consistently or safilv
discriminate between them in this matter
', lavim an eoual proportion of the burden
I w Here me jj.h j '"
"When they" the Democrats "get into
it bvy wiu do tUU wise and just
thing which Morton predicts, to wit :
'pension an or pension none, .n ui uu
more to conquer tbe i-ptiellioos feeling ot
to portray to the t iregonians, than is in the
power ot I tie t eucnu guns ue uos so inucu
Uith in. -V kind and just government
can only remember its crippled soldiers
whether they wore the blue or pay, and
their widows and orphans alke ; it is only
a malignant government that repels fealty
that can discriminate. It is the part ot
s latesmanship to sooth, not to irritate, the
s.ircs ot the late war.
It is true, the Mercury' remarks
were ma le in answer to prediction in
Senator Morton's Oregon speech,
"that if the Democratic party got into
power tbey will incist upon pension
ing all soldiers or none." But if trea
son was not a crime, and if all good
men and women respect the rebels
because tbey risked their lives for
what tbe believed to be right, then
the demand of this rebel sbet not
only verifies Senator Morton's pre
diction but it is ft legitimate coro
llary of tbe Presidential utterances.
If the Union and Confederate soldiers
were equally honest in their convic
tions, aod equally worth? of respect
because tbey risked their lives for
them, then tbe war waged by the
South was no rebellion, wis not trea
sonable, but merely a commendable,
though mistaken attempt, to enforce
what it believed to be right, and it
follows, that the deisaoJ to pension
tbe soldiers of both armies is not
unreasonable. It is possible that tbe
President in his deslr to pacify and
conciliate tbe South doe not reali.e
the force of this inference, bat in our
judgment it is lime he called ft halt,
and took fresh bearings, lest his zeal
should outrun discretion. The Xortb
is ready to forgive, but it will never,
never agree, that treason 'shall be
made respectable, because tbe trait
ors risked their lives for -beir t'on
victions. The proceedings of the Xew York
Republics Statfe Convention held on
Wednesday of laet week, have ap
parently disgruntled tbat portion of
the Republican press of the Elate in
favor of the Southern and Civil Ser-
) vice policy of the Xational Adminis
tration. On those subjects the reso
lutions sr fully vp to She Republican
standard.

The creature who are so silir as
to believe that tbe demonstrations
shown Hayes will disintegrate tbe
Democratic party will discover their
mistake. Tbe fact that the acting
President of the United States has be
come a convert to tbe policy of Dem
ocracy, and is strolling over tbe
country denouncing the extreme
measures and tbe sectional hatred
which he was prominent ia keeping
alive, will make tbe De:?i'cratic par
ty invincible. The south seem to be
getting along quite well In tcr solid
adhesion to Democracy so much so
that the Radical candidate for tbe
Presidency has fjrled his bloody shirt
and joined the south n support of
those measnres which hare made a
solid Democratic south. Solidity in
the right will not endanger the per
petuity and prosperity of the coun
ty The Rraaonthe Sooth a Hopllable.
Tbe greeting which President
Hayes has received at the South is
due to his adoption of his Democrat
ic policy cf conciliation, and tbe
promises with which these greetings
are accompanied are but the reitera
tion of the deep-seated conviciions of
tbe rank and file of, the Democracy of
the wholo Republic, tnat of the South
particularly. If this was not tbe
spirit and purpose of the south, we
would never have sub-nittcd to the
fraud by which Hayes became Presi
dent. Our delegations in Congress
would have been instructed to have
prevented in every legitimate way
the consumation of that villainy.
But tbe peace of the country was
our lir.-t consiaeration, ana we
yielded f.r that and to insure concili
ation, even when we kne we were
wronging ourse I res by aoiog so Mr.
Hayes -?eems to reiuiza bis obliga
tions to the South for its forbearance
in this regard in his adoption of the
Damocratic policy of ptcificiti a,
and here, where it first found stron
gest expression, we give bim credit
for it; and in so doing tender to the
countrv renewed a-eurances of ,t;r
intention to observe all our obliga.
tions in the premises Mrmphi .(

dut.
We hope that hereafter he will be
convinced that we are not the terri
ble banditti which be has, through
force of education and prejudice, beeu
in tbe habit of rejoicing us, and that
in future he may never again favor
bayonet rule and force bills for this
most peaceful and law-abiding sec
tion. Indeed wc may indulge the
fond hope that be may in time be
come n earnest Democrat in reality,
as be already is ia profession, and
then all good mon will rejoice more
over Lis repentance than tbey would
over ninety and nice Just persons
who need no repentance. (We use
ibis style of expression because it is
Scriptu'al, and Mr. Hayes likes it.)

Sr. Lous, Sept. 2'J The Govern
or hs appointed David H. Arm
strong, of tbi city, to the vacant
Senatorship.
A special to the Cincinuati I'om-
uii-rcial says of bim: Armstsong is a
machine politician in every sense of
tbe term. He is a schemer and wire
puller of the most inveterate type.
He has held a number of appointive
offices in this city, but coul'j not se
cure from tbe people tbe traditional
office of "dog-pelter." He is at pres.
ent one of the Police Commissioners,
lie U a man of no intellectual caliber,
of low instincts and vulgar associa
tions. He is brutal and tyrannical,
ill-bred, profane and al'ected, pom
pous and loud. IJe is generally conr
kidered honest, fcowerer, do scandals
bare been connected w,ib Lis offi
cial acts, and it is possible he ajsy
make a atagger toward doing tbe
State some service' but tbe appoint
ment, on tbe whole, is discreditable
to tbe Governor, and will be a disap
pointment to the people.
Tb,e newly made Senator was ser
enaded to-night at ice J ian'.ers'
House. The a 4 if was gotten up
aud conducted by some of bid inti
mate friends. - Most conspu'iiou was
General J. McKinstry, who was dis
graced and dismised from the army
after the dote of the war, and wLo
has since lived in ill odur here, ile
presided at the meeting. Lem.
Wakefield, a notorious gambler, wbj
confessed in Court to having corrupt
ly subsidized the Police J.-ard, was
tbe next most important of t QS
gers. Stiles, a disrppatable detective,
was also active.
Col. John A. Joyce,
jVnittey Ring notLriety, was
ocg the rst to publicly a?rar on
l0 balcony aiv; poaTftulaie Mr.

Tbe absence of all tie respectably
element of the Democracy from tbe
demonstration was marked. The ap
pointacst cannot fail to provoke in
tense indignation throughout the
State. It is simply disgrafpj
a tw ladlaa Tranale.

firemen are working vigorously, bav
in;? succeeded in getting their hose
through ths windows of the upper
story t.f the main building; !;it in
spite of their efTjrts, the flames seem
to be making headway, and while the
wbolo of the upper portion of the west
wingonXintb street is being de
voured by the conflagration, the
flames are also creeping along be
tween the ceilioe and tbe roof cf the
north wing and that of tbe main
building facing on F street An im
monse numbir of valuable models-
bare been destroyed. At this time lag at the corner of Pennsylvania av
it is impossible to estimate the Lf,a nnd Fifteenth street, in which
amount of the loss. Secretary Schurz
and bis assistants are actively at
work superintending tbe removal of
files, models ana records from the
building to places of safety elsewhere.
A guard of District militia under
command ot Major Hannemasison
duty guarding tbe entrance to the
mini Stairway le tding to tbe model
rooms in tbe centre buildiug, in which
an immense ouruberof models yet ic
main. Firemen are in this room, di
recting their efforts to their protec
tion, but tbe position is regarded as
one of great uanger, and fears are tx-
pressod that tbe beat above will
cauie the ceiling ti fall, which would
inevitably create great iestruciion
to life and public property.
Relays of cierks have been formed
in the east wing leading from the
upper to lower stories, removing
books aud papers from places cf dan
ger. The clerks are also acting as
cuardsfor the protection of property.
There is as yet no dt fiaite idea as
to bow the Gre originated.
The fUines firt appeared in a con
servatory near the roof There was
also a large number of rejected mod
els pa-ked io the attic above tbe mod
el room, and it is believed that spon
taneous combustion took place, caus
ing the conflagration. The land of
fice rocords are all stored io rooms
two stories beneath tbe fire.
The measures taken to save them
all will undoubtedly be successful,
and it is not probable that any valu
able papers, except records that are
on Sle in tbe mod 'I room, will be lost.
While there is great excitemen', the
crowd in the ueigUi rbovd are very
orderlv.
1:30 p m. Several fire companies
have arrived fro'ii Baltimore, making
the trip in ab u; 40 minutes.
1:30 p. m Notwithstanding the

gain access to an upper window, and
although several hundred people wt re
immediately under it tbey all escaped
injury. Tbe Baltimore engines and
others from Alexandria, Virginia, are

A portion of the roof on the S tv-

now entertained that the fire will uot
extend below the floor of tbe model
room. The most valuable records of
the patent, land, Indian and pension
offices, as well as those of the interi
or department proper, are stored on
the first two floors of the building be
neath tbe model room, and none of
them have yet been reached by the
fire. 1 he heat was so intense at one
time that window frames and awn
ings of buildings on G. street, jut
opposite the conflagration, were igni
ted, but tbe fire was suppressed be
fore miking much progress. The
government engine from the navr
yard and another from the arsons!
are also at work, with those of this
city, Baltimore, and Alexandria, ma
king a total of ten engines throwing
water upon the burning building.
secretary Seburz savs: We have
lost tbe model room, with all its con
tents, except a part of the east wing.
uetween me secona ana third sto
ries there is a fi.-e praof cement fl nr,
and the fire wiil not reach below that.
We believed tbe whole patent office
was Gre-proof, but it seems not. All
tbe original documents and rrords
are preserved. 1 bose that are lost
are not important.
m Tbe fire seems to be un
der partial control. The east and
south portions of the building will be
saved. Xo flames are visible now.
but a heavy smoke issues from tbe
roof. There is no appearance of fire
in the midel rooms on tbe east and
south. Th-re are the fullest and
most valuable Dortions of the models.
2:10 p. m. The fire is now under
control.
2:12 p m. Another companr of

The records of the office a-e safe

not therefore be produced accurately.
The damage to the building is vari
ously esiimated from $300,000 to
$."od,000, while that growing out of
ih -j destruction of models and otber
valuables belonging to tho patent of

spark of the patent office fire is out.
The granite walls of the building
stood tbe Gre well, but tbe inside
brick walls of it are crumbling, and
wiil havo to be rebuilt.
A small force of workmen are en
gaged in clearing away the debris iu
the burnt portions of tbe building,
but they are making but little head
way. Xo one is admitted within the
buildinir without a pass in order to
guard agaiust pilfering. The models
los; are numbered between 00,000
aud 70,000, but tbe drawings and
specifications cf theiu were saved.
On the ground doer tbe water is
still dripping, and tbe corridors are
filled with books and papers, which
are being brought back to tbe build
iug, acd oo papers of any value are
missing and the officials are congrat
ulating themselves that tbey have
been so easi'v recovered after vester-
day's scattering. Commissioner Wi!-
lamsou, of the land oilice, s.tys that
he does u;t think he has lost a psptrr

best to keep tbem out. It is proba
blc that quite a cumber of them mill
have to be temporarily furlouirbed.

for tbe depirtnieut to conduct all its

buildings now utug considered are
tbe Corcoran and Wrigbt buildings,
aud it is likely tbat tbe latter will be
chosen
Prcpjsals for rebuilding tne roof

posed by Architect Clark.
Tbe origin of the fire still remains
a mystery, and Secretary Scout ? has
decided to have a thorough luvesti

The loss on tbe building is now es
timated at $l,22o,000. Gheen A; Os

Attempt t Wreck a Train.
A diabolical atterop' was made a
few evenings since to wreck a passen
ger train oo the Pennsylvania Rail
road, between Greensburg and Rodd
bauzb's tunnel. A thirty-foot steel
rail was securely fastened across tbe
three tracks in a diagonal manner,
and would bare produced a terrible
wreck, it not great loss of life, but for
it timely discovert- Just liefore tto
arrival of the Day cxpres a freight
train passed west, which ran against
the obstruction, tearing it from its
fastening, and bending it ia almost
the shape of a boop. Tbe crew bast-
eued forward to the block signal at
Rodebaugh's, and only arrived in
uuie to stop the express ; baa it pro-
cceueu ouwaru at me ru e it uauauy
runs at that point, tbe result is fear
ful to contemplate. Five rails were
torn up by tbe freight train when it
collided with the obstruction, neces
sitating considerable delay. There
is no clue to the perpetrators of this
outrage, but their object, no doubt,
was the plundering of the killed and
manned passengers. ruisOury uu-
