THE BEST MUSICAL INSTRUMENT FOR THE
FAMILY, — "The piano-forte," says tho Amer
ican Baptist 1 "extensively as it is used, is
not so well adapted to all the purposes of sa
cred and secular music as another instru
ment which is now justly claiming a large
share of public attention, and which has al
ready been extensively introduced into schools
churches, and families, and received the en
dorsement of the chief organists, musicians,
and artists of America—we mean the Mason

Ford's Theatre.
The Young Men's Christian Associat ion
failed to raise fund s sufficient to warrant them
in making the first payment on the contract
for the purchase of Ford's Theatre.—
Heoee it was given up, and Ford was abou l
to re-open it on last Monday night, the play
selected being the "Octoroon." On Monday
afternoon a military order was issued closing
the Theatre by order of the War Department
Notwithstanding the war is over the War

PROBABLE ACQUITTAL OF MARY HARRIS.—
The trial of Mary Harris for the killing of A.
J. Burroughs, a clerk in the Treasury De
partment, is drawing to a close. To-day five
physicians were respectively on the staud to
give their opinions in hypothetical cases, in
order to prove the insanity of the accused.—
All the doctors, however, did not agreo, one
of tbem saying that, as physician at the jail,
he saw the prisoner, generally, every day.—
He bad never obse r ved any indications of in
sanity in her, but his attention had never
been called to her mind. The general irapres
•ion among those who have been attending '
the trial is that the accused will be acquitted
seme predicting that the jury will not even
leave tho box to render this verdict.
Mrs. Swisshelm 011 Mrs. Suratt.
Hrs* Jane Swisshelm, in a letter to the
Pittsburg Commercial, defends the late Mrs
Suratt, in tones liKe these:
I know those who have known hor as the
belle and beauty of her country, the petted
spoiled favorite of friends, the idol of parents,
husband and children. Iler face, and indead
her whole figure, while on trial, was soft
rounded, tender, and motherly. Her large
gray ejes alone gave indications of reserved ,
strength. Her behavior, during that long
aud terrible ordeal, was full of delicacy and 1
dignity. She made no scenes, as a weak and j
vain woman would have done. When her
daughter came into court, and with quivering
Bp aud streaming eye, appeared on the point
•f breading down, with a gesture of com
mand and entreaty she restrained her- All
the long, hot days she sat with her heavy
mourning veil down, and a large palm-leaf
fan held between her face and the crowds
who gathered and struggled and crushed to
gaze at her, as if 6he had been an alligator, :
hundreds of persons in these crowds making I
the most insulting remarks in her hearing.
Daring all that time she leaned her bead
Wearily against the wall, and by changing ]
hands kept her fan steadily before her face,
and every few minutes a low, stifled moan
•leaped her. Man and woman stood a tip toe
and itretched and strained, or, having gained
entrance, stood coolly and made 6uch re
marks as "Where's Mrs. Surratt ?" "I want
to see her !" "Oh, goodness, just look if the
isn't pretending to be modest!" "I wish I
could see her face better !" "Isn't she a dev
il ?" "Bbe looks lixe a devil!" "Hasn't 6he
S horrid face ?" "I hope they'll hang her—
tee-bee, bee P' All these remarks and more
such, some of them again and again, and of'en
accompanied bv coarse laughter, I heard iu
ring the two hours and a half I sat near her j
and she must have heard them as distinctly
u I did. They were evidently meant for her
It appeared to me so cruel and cowardly j
thus to insult a prisoner in chains that 1
could not refrain from answering, and severa 1
times said : "She has not a bad face. She
has a good face ; and if she had not, it is cow-1
ardly to insult her !" She dropped her fan
and looked at me with such an expression cf'
gratitude as I shall never forget. I looked
full into her eyes ; mine were not dry, while j
here fltled with heavy tears. Several asked |
ma if "I was a friend to Mrs. Surait," sol

GREAT FIRE IN NEW YORK.
Barnum'H Museum and Eleven Other
Buildings Baiued.
Loss ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
[From the Few York Evening Pott, second edition,]
Shortly after noon to day a terriele fire
occurred iD the American Museum, ez/endi ng
rapidly to the adjacent buildings on Broad
way, Ann street and Fulton atreet, The
aggregate loss is probably one million of dol
lars, on wnich there is insurance to the
amount of about half a million dollars.
At the moment of patting this edition to
press the fire is still unsubdued, but a strong
force of firemen is at work, and there is a
prospect of checking the progress of the flames
without further serious damage.
At thirty five minutes past twelve afire
caught beneath Groot'a restaurant in Ann
street, at the corner of the Museum building.
In about two minutes, the tiatnes burst out
in Jones' shoe store, N<>s. 10 and 12 Anr. St.
with every indicatiou of an ezieo6ive confla
gration.
The fire companies were immediately on the
ground and promptlp set to work, wiih appa
rent successs ; but the smoke was blinding,
and for some minutes the whole Museum
building was completely out of sight
At o'clock the flames burst out in the
second story of the Museum, just over the
restaurant, and spread with amazing rapidity,
fed by the light and combustible material.
In a moment the fire mounted to the third
story, and at forty minutes pa6t twelve burst
out of every window on the Ann street side
of the Museum. It gave way apparently on
the two lower floors, but raged furioualy in
the two upper 6lorie9. Part of the roof fell
in five minutes later, and the neijfhboritg
buildings on Aun street were atacked.
The firemen rallied in great force, but the
flames were fanned bp a strong breeze which
swept them over the roofs of the adjoining
buildings on Broadway, and in a few min
utes the Ore had gained a hold in tne three
upper stories of No. 214 Broadway.
The building was occupied by Rogers &
Raymond, clothiers, and bv the biilnro sa
loon of Wallace k Reaves. It was entirely
destroyed, except the wails, which were still
standing at two o'clock.
The scene at this moment was fearfully
g a and. Vast volumes of smoke povred out of
the windows on the Broadway and Ann st.
fronts of the Museum , huge tongues of flawo
ruso from the middle of the boilding, and
smaller darts of Are caught the transparencies
and signs; three floors of the building No.
214 Broadway were a mass of light flame ;
fireman and property owners were springing
up aud down ladders to remove such porta
ble articles as could be passed out ; a tre
mendous crowd filled the Park, the west side
cf Broadway, Ve6ey street, Barclay si net,
and every other place which commanded a
view of the scene; while twenty steam and
hand tire engines poured incessan' steams of
water upon the Aiming mass. As ttie flirae*
gained strength aud volume, the heat became
intem-e, forcing back the crowd, but subject
ing the firemen to severe su Bering.
So far as can now be ascertained, none of
the visitors in the Museum, nor persons em
ployed by Mr. Barnum were injured. The
alarm caused by the discovery of the fire in
she restaurant on Ann street, was the signal
for a general flight, and it is believed thai
everybody escaped sifely before the Museum
caught.
It was very fortunate that the fire occni*
red at mid day. Ilad it takeo placa in the
evening, when the Museum is crowded with
visitors, and the theatre crammed with spec
tators, the limited means of ecress would
have proved lamentably insufficient.
The sudden leap of the flames from floor to
floor made it impossible to remove many of
the curiossities contained in the Museum,an i
the living animals on exhibition were speedi
ly destroyed. The "happy family" of cats,
rats, pigeons, monkeys and parrots, caged in
the centre of the fifth floor, soon became very
unhappy, and departed . this life. It was
impossible to save any of the poor creatures,
The whales, also, came to au untimely end.
At fifteen minutes before two o'clock the
front of the Museum fell in three different
sections, one after the other. The first to
fall was the part parallel with Bioadway,
which went over in one rn&sss, falling flat 011
the pa vement of the street, and then—and
not till then—breaking up into innumerable
fragments.
Another section was left in the shape of an
elongated triangle, and not unlike the steeple
of a church. In a few mom Mils this sunk
slowly down, tho point still remaining up
right and 10 position until the whole section
disappeared, 't did not appeas to fall, but
apparently sunk into the earth. This wan
exactly analagous to to the fall or sinking of
the spire of the Chichester Cathedral in
England a few years ago.
The section of the front wall facing on
Park Row, and at a slight deviation from
the parallel of Broadway, still remained, and
all eyes were turned in its direction. It
was a very large, high portion, reaching to
the uppermost atory. About five minutes
later this great facade careened gracefully
over and slowly fell—not tn among the
burning rulrs—but out on Broadway. It
fe[l as a trap door on a hinge and remained
intact until it was smashed upon the pave
ment, sending up a frightful spray of bricks
and mortar, and a vast cloud of smoke.—
This finished the old Museum.
At about a quarter to one o'cloek the beat
became so intense that it set the easterly
front of St. Paul's Church on fire. Several
fire companies turned their streams upon
the building, and continued to play upon
the edifices until the Museum and the otker ,
buildings fronting on Broadway had been '
consumed. j
The pillars of the church are slightly
flaked by the intense heat, but no further
damage has been dune to this venerable sod
historical church edifice.
THE SCENE FROM ANN STREET.
It is now definitely ascertained that the
fire proceeded from the boiler-room, in the
northeastern corner of the Museum building,
immediately under Groot's restaurant, on
Ann street. At 12.35 P. M. the alarm was
given. #
The smoke at this moment was issning
from the shoe store of Jones A Kenwood,
Nos. 10 and 12 Ann sireet. It appeared
but trivial, and for a few momenta every
body predicted that it would be subdued
with trifling loss.
The fire companies now came tumbling
along the street and took position around
the Museum. The fat woman was seen hur
rying out, and was conducted to a place of
safety by a policeman. The other persons
in the Museum escaped. It was imp* 'sible
to rescue the animals or save anything valu
able The less than five minutes had
mounted to jhe second story, leaving the
shoe store and rnstaurant as though they
were too small game for its operations.
Quiting the second story the fiame darted
upward and burst out at every window on
the northern side of the Museum on the
third and fourth stories. The whole upper
part of the edifice was speedily enveloped In
fire and smoke.
The crowd that thronged Ann street were
driven half way to Nassau. The buildings
on Park Row gave signs of yielding to the
heat when the jfirtmen began to play on
them, and for a long time were successful in
preventing them from taking fire. The
steam from the heated buildings aud the
dense smoke darkened the air.
The roof of the Museum had now fallen,
and the interior of the building was like the
crater of a volcano.
A stream of heated a r issued frotn the top
and was borne eastward by the breeze di
rectly over the block, carrying with it light
articles, pieces of burning wood, shirgles,
&c. One man ou Ann street, not far from
Nassau, was stauck on the head by a shingle
and knocked down. Oihers were in much
danger by the pieces of burning material
falling on their heads and clothing.
This served to clear the street, so that the
firemen were left masters t f the situation.
At half-past one a crash resounding like
the explosion of a powder magazine. The
whole wall on the Ann street side had fallen.
A cloud of dust and smoke filled the air,
making it dark as twilight, and rendering it
impossible to descry objects at short, distan
ces.
The fire next communicated to the roof of
Swift's book-bindery, No. 14, and alsoN.. 16,
the publishing house oi Dick and Fitzgerald,
and gutted them completely.
At fifteen minutes before two another
crash was heard. The Broadway front had
fallen ; and it was now a clear view over the
burning mass into Broadway.
INCIDENTS.
There were several minor panics during
the fire. The sound of an explosion was
heard about half past one o'clock, and imme
diately at least a thousand peop'e scampered
out of the way. A great number ol men fell
down and at least a hundred hats were lost
Boys were even going around with half a d.>z
en hats on their heads, and more hapless men
were hat less.
A report was started at one time that an
escajied linn from the Museum was rushing
•low Broadway ; and the result was the sud
den fligtt of a few nervous people, who, im
parting their terror to others, brought about
quite a stampede.
At ten minutes to three o'clock the rear
walls on Fulton street fell, making a loud
noise. The crowd, believing an explosicai
had occurred, fled in the utmost terror. No
damage, however, was done.
The only curiosities reported to have been
saved beside the fat woman ( who was taken
in charge by a policeman,) were the hve seal
and a case of rare coins.
Mr. Barnum is in Hartford to -day. A tcl
eeram was sent to him this afternoon, and he
w 11 probably arrive here to night.
A Trial by 1 ury.
Extract from the speech of Hon. Charles
J. Biddla delivered at Ilarrisburg, at the
Democratic Celebration on the 4.h inst. We
regret that our space will not poraii t us to
publish the whole of this able, eloquent and
patriotic Address. We can only, however,
give our readers the following brief extracts,
and we call their attention to the sound prin
ciples so boldly and forcibly set forth by the
honorable speaker. ,
"One of the great charges which the Dec
laration of Independence brought against
George 111, was, "hr has effected to render
the military independent oi and superior to
the civil power" This pretension revised in
our days, and reaching even to the total sup
pression of the cipil power, in all it relations
to civil liberty, is the great political he res ay
that has prevailed at the North, as seoession
at the South. Both deserve the si.-'nal con
demnation of the people. The absolute sway,
exercised by officials iu tbe Northern States
was, in nearly every instance, their useless,
wanton, irritating usurpation hf functions
that the Constitution and the laws have wise
ly vested in the civil tribunals of our coun
try. Do not charge it upon Congress; no
act of Congress ever authorized a military
court to try a citizen not connected with the
military service. Every act passed during
this war; carefully sent all such cases to the
civil courts. Even the conscript act provid
ed that those accu-ed of resisting it, if arrest
ed by the military, should be "firthwith de"
livered over to the civil authorities, n for trial
Yet here, in Pennsylvania, citizens accused
of this very act, were, in open contempt of
the law, imprisoned in the guard house at
Camp Cnritn, tried and sentenoed by "milita
ry commission." Do not charge on the mili
tary power the base acta done in Itaname.—
The military power of oar eouotry has ita
spheres, and it has filled it grandly ; it needs
no triumph over the civil institutions of our
country. The gallant soldiers of the wa are
soiled with no complicity in the acts of petty
dcspqttsm done by Secretaries of Wta politi
cians' in- civil -office. You men of Harrisburg
have seen the guard bouse of the neighboring
camp tenanted, not by disorderly soldiers or
rebel prisoners, but qy editors, and farmers
and mqn in every walk of Tife/robbed of their
civil rights, and subjected to the "lynch law"
that is administered by mHiiary.commissions
For all thia tbero coulcf no plea of
"military necessity," such as may leave
a commander in the field of war no limit but
his own will in the exertion of his own pow
er. The plea of "military necessity" could
not, with truth or decency, be urged in Penn
sylvania, where no evil court was dosed by
armed rebellion, nor the due course of law
' t
obstructed, save by those who made that plea
(he pretext for their acts. These acts were
done from no "necessity," civil or military.—
They were prompted by that bad principle in
human nature which the laws and cons'itu
tions of free governments are meant to curb
Shakespeare describes it when he says :
' Man proud man
Droit in a lttle priof authority
Play* mch fantastic tricks bofore high heaven
As Make the angels weep."
Your highest interests and the interests of
your cbildrcu demand that these acts 6hall
not pass uncondemned, to be treated hereaf
ter as precedents. The highest duty, now, of
the people of this commonwealth is to vindi
cate the majesty ol the law. To vindicate it
at the ballot-box and in the courts of justice
so that never again upon the soil of Pennsyl
vania, her citizens shall be wanfbnly stripped
of the rights that are their birth right by ti
tles older than the Constitution, older thsn
the Declaration of Independence.
The Irrepressible Conflict—Great Riot lh
Charleston by Whites and Blacks—
The Blacks Driven ofl by the Military
[Charleston Mercury, July 10J
On Saturday evening, a very serious dis
turbance took place in the market, causinir a
great deal of excitement, and resulting in the
killing of one man (colored) and wounding of
three others, a Zouave and two colored men,
The particulars, as ;epoited, are as follows :
A small squad ol Zouaves had hen order
ed on police duty at the market. One ol
them, while patrolling the middle . market
came into collision with a party consisting, it
is said, of a number of the Twenty first U. S
C. T. and the fifty fourth Massachusetts
Volunteers (colored), in addition to a num
ber of outsiders. The Zouavt-3 sent for as
sistance, when the squad came up and after
ward the whole company on police du'y ar
rived from theit quarters at ihe PafilHon
Hotel, when the Riaaket was cleared, In the
melee which occured previous to the arrival
of the company, the colored soldiers fired a
volley among the crowd, killing a well known
respectable Colored man named James B;ng,
badly wounding in the head Corp -rel Bietrr
of the Z "Uavea and severely wounding two
other colored nitn. In the fight, stones and
bricks, etc., were liberally n->ed.
Tne unfortunate deceaeed, at the time he
w as shot, was at his stand, engaged in selling
eegs. Ihe Z"uave, after the volley, made a
charge, dispersing the colored troops. ]t i e
reported that the corporal of the Fift)-fourth
Massai hnsetts, who marched bis squad to
the market without orders, was intoxicated,
and has been put under arrest. lie claims
that be went there to quell the disturbance.
During Saturday night several disturbances
occurred in other portion* of the city. On
Saturday afternfton one of the-Zouaves, it is
slated, was- imprisoned in a store on King
street. A party of bis comrades hearing ol
it, started to release him, and, on reaching
the place : broke open the door. This led to
another excitement, and another collision
;;
was threatened, It fortunately■ passed off,
however, with no other demonstration than
one shot, fired by a Zouave at a c lc-red man
the ball passing directly over the latier's
head. The imprisoned comrade had been
released before their arrival. General' Hatch
who was riding by at the time of the distur
bance, was very active in dispersing the
crowds and preventing any large gatherings.
On Saturday,about 9 o'clock P. M., a row
occurred in the vicinity of Hempsteads . Mill
among some white lads and negroes, which
ended in the firing of pistols, etc. One man
got slightly wounded by a pistol, when the
offending parties made their escape.
Additional Disturbance by Negreea at
Charleston.
[Charleston Courier, July tl].
We are again called upon to report a num
ber of more rows of a disgraceful and outra
geous character- Mr, I\ W. Bliss, one of
our most quiet and unoffending citizens,
while on his way to the Office, was
struck three times Sunday evening by a
-slung shot in the hands a colored man
wearing the United States uniform. - - It is
believed that the ruffian was not really a
soldier. Mr. Bliss now lies in a critical con
dition. Several other cases are reported to
have occurred Sunday night, of which, h >w
ever, we have received no definite intelligence
About 11 o'cluca Monday morning, a Zouave
while proceeding through the market, was
assaulted by first a number of colored boys,
who were afterward joined oy a number of
colored men. Bricks and stones were hurled
in rapid succession at tho Zouave, who re
treated uito an opposite store and escaped.—
A guard of the Forty seventh Pennsylvania
were sent to arrest the rioters, and succeed
ed in taking between thirty or forty, who
•were carried off and lodged in jail.
Another row is said to have occurred on
Eat Bay yesterday afternoon, but we were
unable to get the particulars. We are glad
to learn *>brt the military authorities have
taken the most efficient steps to put a stop
to these proceedings, and inflict summary
punishment upon all violators of tba law.
Policy of the President,
A Washington correspondent of the N. F.
News makes the following obsenrstions on
the present policy of the President, by which
it would seem that a thorough radical change
in the form and administration of the affairs
the government has been decided upon.
WASHINGTON, July 15, 1865.
The editorial articles which have appeared
in the News during the last three or four
days, in relation to the alleged change in the
form of the Government, and the substitu
tion of military authority for the ordinary
forms of judicial procedure, have attracted
great attention here, and particularly the at
tention of the members o. the Administra
tion. The Administration of President
Johnson does not expect to avoid criticism,
and even censnre, even from the organs of
the Republican party, and does expect both
criticism and censure, for some of its sets,
and on account of some features of its policy,
from the fearless sod independent organs of
the Democratic parly. Ido not think, from
what 1 have been abie to learn, (bat the
Administration is disposed to resent such
criticism, provided it be kept within bounds,
and bo couched in temperate and respectful
language.
The suppression of tha Richmond Whig,
indeed, is an example of what the Adminis
(ration has power to do, either in the South,
or in th° North. The minute and systemat
ic arrangemegt of the five grand Military
Divisions, and the eighteen Military Depart
ments. int" which the whole territory of the
United Stales is now divided, is simply an
indication of the purpose of the Administra
tion to make lis power felt, acknowledged,
and respected, in all pans of the country
alike. lam satisfied that if the objectiona
ble article in the Richmon Whig, or an arti
cle couched >n similar language, had appear
ed in any New York or Philadelphia paper,
either the paper it&e'f would have been sup
pressed, or the principal editor arrested an.,
confined in F><ri Lafayette, beyond the reach
of the habeas corpus.
The existing state of affairs in relation to
Ford's Theatre is, perhaps the strongest
illustration that could he afforded of the fact
that the form of the Government has been
ci anged in some particulars. The building
was cl'e-ed last Monday by order of the War
Mr. Ford thereupon applied to
'he Secretary of War, and earnestly request
ed that the order might be rescinded, and
that he be allowed to reopen the
buiidine and put it to its innst legit?m*-
use After the muter had b-eu baeu-x-d w
a meeting of the Cabinet, Mr Ford again
made his request to the Secretary. lie i 6
n>w informed, courteously, but firmly, that
he will not be permitted to open bis theatre
at all, or ever again to use it for dramaiic
onrposes. The Government does not pro
nose to confiscate the property, nor have
they made any ovea'ures to Mr. Ford for
■he purchase of the same One of the de
partments of the Government has simply
virtually taken possession of the property,
and deprive Mr. Ford of the uses and reve
nues of it precisely as any other species ol
property might be aeized, and the owner
thereof depr<ved of the lucrative use of the
<ame , No justificatign of the act has been
attempted. It was done by military author
ity, hut without military necessity. Mr.
Stanton probably intends that Congress shall
he asked to make an appropriation to pur
chase the propei ty, anil reimburse Mr. Ford
for the loes that he is t now sustaining through
the order of the Government. Certainly, if
something of that kind is not done, Mr.
Ford 6tands a fair chance to be ruined. In
the meau time, those people here who think
that the theatre ought to be kept closed out
of repect to the memory of the late Prei
dent, are gratifying their wishes at Mr.
Ft>rd' expenss—and an enormously heavy
expense it is, too—without a thought of re
emborsing him.
