Four women met with a fearful disas ter iu New York City, last week, by de soending through a flight of five stories on a detached elevator. One had her feet horribly frscturcd, while ali were Severely injured. H- Lacoste, a Frenchman naturalized is the United States some years ago, has been expelled from France for renouncisg his nationality without per forming his military duty. Mr. Noyes the United States Minister, fruitlessly endeavored to secure a revocation of the order. The Louisville Courier Journal in an answer to the taunts of the Ohio Press on Kentucky "outrages," publishes from 3 Journals only, two crowded columns of Ohio murders, lynchings, rapes, bur glaries and shooting in a period of 3 days, which it says is more than occur red in the entire South lor the same period. Senator Thurman, in his recent able speech, made a point that has signifi cancy. He gave the Stalwarts who are trying to create a "solid North" to un derstand that there was a West, and that it might take a notion to become "solid" also. In 1880 the West will poll at least 2,800,000 votes. It is indeed the "Great West." Captain Boyton has accomplished his difficult task. A despatch from New Orleans says: "Boyton has arrived here. He is much tanned by the sun and some what fatigued by the trip. He was wel eomed by large crowds along the river bank." The distance whioh the am phibious Captain has floated and paddled —from Pittsburg to New Orleans—is aboat 2,000 miles, and the journey oo cupied eighty days.

C., so that the committee of arrangements at Salis bury may provide for their entertainment MILTON S. LITTLKKIKI.D A PRISONER •—The Raleigh Obterver of this moruing'» mail says "the news that eomes from Jacksonville, Florida, is to the effect that this man, who was so notorious in Morth Carolina t*n years ago and who filled ap largo a part' of the political eye for two or three years, has been arrested l&ere aud is bold in custody. Street rumor told us this, and we traced up street rumor until we weie satisfied that we had struck a full vein of truth." Til A T FRAUD. That fraud, 11. B Hayes, has again tendered Congress another veto message. Thus the Executive and Judioial ap proprintion bill, containing also the re peal of that odious Test Outh, must fail to accomplish its mission. The President makes two objections to the appropriation now vetoed. One is, that the habit of tackicg general . legislation to appropriation bills is a bad habit, which was not in use in the early days of legislation, and should be aban dooed though in constant use by all parties for more than half a oentury. The other objcetion is that the legisla tion attached to this bill repeals another innovation, wbioh having been only twelve years ago ought to be maintained- The President thus covers the whole ground ; it is a "beads 1 win, tails you lose" sort of game that the President plays. The St. Louis Post Di*patch speaks words of soberness and of truth when it says that the indirect objeot, aim and end of every Republican speeah or step, of evory veto and every address aud ev ery Republican polioy or editorial, is a solid Noith. These two simple word.-* are the key to everything that has beeu done and will bo done from this till the day of the Presidential eleotion in 1880. There is but one objeot, aud that is to. preserve power, aud there is but one way to accomplish that object, and that is through a solid North. But tho plot will fail. A GOOD 111 T. The Sunday Gazette, of Washington, oonduoted by Mr. 0. C. Wedderburn, has gone into the illustration business, and its two last numbers show that it kuows what it is about. The picture of Lst week represented tho process of voting under the intimidation of soldiers at the polls, and conveyed at a glance all that had been said by the Democrats in Congress in opposition to that Bystem. The last pioture illustrates the process of drawing U. S. jurors. Judge Hughes, who cannot take the test oath, is pre siding, and among the rejected are Post master Qeneral Key, Gen.

From Alabama and Georgia come en oouragiog statements in regard to the revival of industry and the growth of population. The Mobile Reji»ter says that in Montgomery and Birmingham, two oentral interior points of agriculture and mining aotivity, it is difficult to find a vacant house. Mills which were re cently prostrate now give employment to hundreds of families. The Atlanta Con dilution says that "the past year has been remarkable chiefly for the growth of the city iu the point of population. Two years ago there were hundreds of houses in the oily to rent. Now there are al most none vacant, and the agents report, too, that they oould rent score* of houses at onoe if they had them conveniently located." The Zion African Methodist Episco pal Conference of New York State, at its seventh day's session yesterday, adopted a report urging the total abstention from intoxicating drinks on the part of the members, saying thatßeven eights of the poverty and crime in this country was due to liquor. The clergy, it said, cost the country $20,000,000 a year, lawyers 880,000,000, criminals $100,000,000, and strong drink from $300,000,000 to stioo,ooo,ooo. The Committee on TO bacco reported that its use by ministers was very unbecoming to the dignity of their position, the purity of their bodies, aud the sanotity of their lives. A num ber of olergymen disagreed with the re port and upon the impropriety of the use of tobacco, and the document was returned to the Committee for revision. The Raleigh Obterver says that John C Scarborough individually as Superin tendent of Publio Instruction and as a relator for the State, demands a manda mus vs. \f. L Saunders, the Secretary o! Slate, to compel him, as suoh secre tary, to receive the bill to be entitled sn act to revise and consolidate the publio school law as one of the publio acts of the Stato, arid to distribute the same as required by law, and for other and fart her relief. The service of summons was aeccped by the Secretary yesterday. This is the last phase of the case.

HAGKRSTOWN, Md., May 29.— The col ored porter, who lay sleeping at the foot of the stairs at the Washington House, was awakened at 2} this morning by smoke and heat. The man could hardly move at first, for he was almost suffocated but he managed to sound the alarm. A commercial traveller, who occupied a room immediately in the rear of the par lor, was awakened almost at the same time. In a tuiuute the whole house was aroused. The soreams of the women awoke most of the guests, who bad barely time to quit their rooms. Many of them were scorched while parsing through the hall ways. A throng of oitizens gathered around the burning hotel. The scene at that time was a terrible one Men hung from the windows by strips of bedolothiag, and others jumped from the third and fourth stories in their terror, knowing chat it would be deatb to remain five minutes longer. The hook and ladder company arrived, and hastily ereetlag their ladders, resoued some of the in mates. Many persons who were familiar with the situation of the stairways made a rush for the rear porches, which they reached with muoh trouble and great danger. About twenty persons eicaped by this means, including two women and two children. One of th» latter, a little girl, in her doscent lost her hold, and, strikiug a man who was ono story below her clinging to a post, knooked him into the yard below. The man was not much injured, and the little girl was only slightly hurt. There were about eighty persons in the houße, and not one of this number saved any personal effects. Many es caped in their night clothes. The com mercial travellers stopping at the hotel lost all their samples and baggage, much of which was valuable. At about 4 o'clock the body of a man was discovered in the hallway of the la dies' entrance, and was drawn out by the firemen with their books. It was so charred as to be unrecognizable, but later, by articles found upoo it, it was identified «s the remains of Thomas Troxell of Cumberland, Md. He had been attending the Circuit Court as a witness at the time of the aocident This, up to the present time, is the only person who i-i known to have been burned to death. The hotel register was burned, and there is uo means of ascertaining who were lodging in tho house when the fire broke out. Mr. 8 n. Dorsey, a young man from this place, at the risk of his life when the stairway was enveloped in.flame and smoke, dashed in response to a cry for aid from several ladies, and succeeded in bringing them out safely, although he was badly burned in so doing. The la dies were Mrs Patterson, daughter, and child, and were resoued from the third story. Mr. Isaac Wyman of New York city was awakened by the screams of women. He was on the third floor. He arose be wildered, and, not being acquainted with the passages of the building, ran directly through the fire. He stumbled and fell at the porter's room door, and, rising walked out on the front veranda. There he became uucoosoious for a moment, and while in that oondition his feet, hip, hands, and face were badly burned. He sustained no internal injuries, but bis mind wanders. He is lying at the An tietam House, receiving the attention of Dr. Mason. The firemen worked nobly, and con sidering the facilities they did good work. The department has not, all told, 1,000 feet of good hose, and much that was considered good was burst while used. All the injured are receiving kind at tention from the people here, aod are doing well. The friends of Mr. Burgess, will take him to Baltimore as soon as he can be moved. Mr. Snively is in a very criti cal oondition. Mr. Jenkins is resting easily at the Antietam House. Mr. Shannon, who was ,«verely injured, it resting and may recover. Losses on the house amount to $40,000 the insurance being $21,000 The tran sient guests lose about SIO,OOO in money, jewelry, and elothing.
