A large portion of the town ol Blackville was laid in ashes this morn ing. The tire, which is supposed "to have been the work of aii incendiaiy, started in a small ' store on Railroad Avenue at about 4 o'clock this morning, just as the up Augusta night express was approaching:, lhe store was oc CUpicd by H.

About eight bales of cotton in the depot were consumed, and for a time a train of cars, most of them load ed with co loon, was in imminent danarer. The engine of the up freight train, how ever, hauled these cars out of reach j the flames, and the cotton and curs were thus saved. Over.'twentvstoresand resi dences were destroyed, and the loss can hot fall far short of 40.000. ''It is impos sible as vet to 'ascertain the amount of insurance, Florf.nk, tf.

A Ijromiuent Republican said, to-dav, in conversatiou: ''The real question is whether there is honesty enough in loth parties in Congress to enable men to agree upon a manner in which to couut the electoral vote. For my part I have no doubt there i-. Then " are a good many bitter and rvcklcss parti sans on both sides, un'thc Republican as well as the Democratic side; but there are al-' a good many honest and faithful meu on-both sides! who, though silent and waiting now. will bo heard .from and felt when the time comes. It is 6-hamcful that men hould le ruled on this question of counting the vote by consideration of results and leanings toward a favorite candidate. There is a constitutional way, and net one who cares to know what that i reeds to go uninformed, lie. needs .u.nly to hok into the proceedings ami he will find that Congress has never in a single in stance, omitted to assert its jKwer to 'examine' the elccjoral vote, that this constitutional power of the two Iiouh-. has never been doubted bvany one wlns opinions were of any account, and thai to take onlv a m-ent instance irr the ! long debate last winter in the Senator Morton's bill, now revived by Senator Edmund?, every Republican and every Democrat with but one or two excep tions admitted this power, and no one asserted it so positively and strongly as Senator Morton. Therefore, whatever mMi may now rashly say or pretend. I wili not doubt that the two houses will come to an agrecinent on this question. and that men enough will be found on both sides to agree upon a measure. whether joint rule or hill, which shall be clearly constitutional and which w ill be adopted regardless of the merely party consequences' I here is reasons to believe that the gentlemen who said this will prove to bo right. 2" i'Oii).
