Harry White, President ot the late Pennsylvania Republican State Convention, In which he says most emphatically that he Is not a candidate for a third term. We are glad that tlie President lias at last un bended lar enough to answer the block- beads who have been continually howling about Gc-sansm and the third term, by positively asserting that be is 'not' a candi date ror re-eiectiou to the Pre!dencv But even after this Jetter from the Presi dent has been printed In every paper In the Union, there will still be those who will continue to bowl and tear their hair and declare that, no matter who asserts to the contrary, Grant is certainly a candidate for a third term. Xot that they believe It themselves, but as they asserted it before Grant's denial, they Must still assert it to keep up tlielr reputation as belonging to roe mowing ones, and because they think there's political capital In It' Every man who can read, and is gifted with common sense, after carefully perusing the Presi dent's letter, will see that be means just what be says he is not a candidate. Here's the letter : Washington, May 29. 187.-.. ifnr Sir; A snort time subsequent to the presidential election of 1874. the press, a portion of tt hostile to the Republican party part ien y so to the administration started the crv of Cansartsm and third term, ratlin lustily for me to define my position on the latter subject. I believed it beneath the dignity of the office which I have been twice called to All to answer the question, before the subject should be pre sented by competent authority to make a nom ination, or by a body of such digntrv and au thority as not to make a reply a fair'snhlect of ridicule. In fact, I have been surprised that no many sensible persons in the Republican party should permit their enemy to force nnon them f?d iho.pH.?y n ls8ue which cannot add strength to the party, no matter how met by a body of the dignity and authority of a party convention to make nominations for Slate officers. The second State in the Union having considered the question, I deem It not improper that I should speak. In the first place I never ought the office for a second, nor evi-n the first nomination. To the first I was called fro -a a life position, one created by congress expressly Lme '"PP0??1 services rendered to the re public. The position vacated. I liked. It would have been most agreeable to me to have retained it until such time as Congress -might have consented to my retirement with the rank and a portion of the emoluments I so much eed, to a home where the balance of my days might be spent in peace and Uic onjorment at domestic quiet relieved of t fie cares which iiu . u oppressed n constantly for fourteen years: but I was made to believe that the nuhlic good called me to make the sacrifice. Without seek ing the office for the second term the fiomlna EP? waUen,ler? me-.by tbe unanimous vote ofdetegates of all the States and Territories se lected by the Republicans of eac h to represent 1 T nun3!er for hc pnrnooo of making J.00"1?0- I cannot say I not pleased ?JL Jind tno overwhelming endorsement 5, .

Senator Booth, In a late speech delivered in Saa Francisco, plainly Indicates' the political position he will occupy In the future. l"hat -position will be one of the utmost hostility to the Republican party, lie proposes of himself and by " himseir to etectuaily wipe out the great Republican and Democratic parties, and out of their ruins build up a , great and 'liarmonlons National party,' whicb' with vthe all-conquering Booth at its head, shall once more bring lias Government back to Its virgin days of purity and virtue. This 1 quite an undertaking for one little nmn. to be sure, but then, no doubt the mighty genius of a Booth, a Senator at that, is equal to the occasion, and ere long we may expect to see this wholesale liquor dealer, late Governor and present Senator, with a "proof-tryer" in one hand and a copy of the Constitution in the other, triumphantly marching over the wrecks of what were erstwhile the great controlling parties of this nation. Senator Booth lias no special ambition that is, lie didn't break with tbe Republican party, that gave faitn all the prominence he ever attained politically, simply because be saw, or thought he saw, greater advantage to himself to be secured by such a course. Oh, no ! lie only as pires to be President of the nation simply because he saw, or imagined he saw, thr.t Presidential timber was petting al fired scant, and he prefers to sacriilce himself in this direcflon radier than that tbe dear rTtle stiall not have a great and compe trtfifci l tbe ExecuUve chair I Ah! wi-ata heart is there, my countrymen! ttiidctk, too, if we maybe allowed to t -e so LcaiuLlful and appropriate a simile! j- t v.'. o ifm iout5t .tlie result ot any nn der : fcv o t a geniusl Way down. if" ts.'fc :1;t, however, there Is'a 1 ' .

On the first day f April I started Kaatward on a little Jaunt, and after visiting Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Xew York, spend ing most of my time in tbe two bate r, 1 reached home three days afro, and am now rested. I met with little of anttaaal interest In my trip, for Congress, and even the extra session of the Senate, had adjourned, and though I came up with sundry political celebrities I doubt if I learned anything thereby which would Interest yon or your fkr-awnj renders. : . The Oeecher trial, tike the Modoc wnrj la more exciting three thousand milesawny than where It Is going on. I attended it one day, and though I remained three weeks tn New York, and was In Brooklyn several times, I felt im pelled by neither Interest or curiosity to visit the conrfrooni a second time. Beechcr will be acquitted, however, mark that I In New York I met Senator Mitchell and Mr. Ben Kolauhty. Tho former returned to Wash ington and the latter remains in New York, spending his time alternately on his tine farm up the river, and at the James Hotel in ti. city, t hardly think either of them will vlatt Oregon this summer, though the Senator spoke of doing so In a few weeks, when I saw him. Tbe resignation of Attorney General Williams seems to have been a very unexpected event outside of the inner circle at the capital.' ror a wonder. It had not been foreshadowed or pre dicted by the correspondents of the press located at the seat of Government, and created quite a sensation when authoritatively announced. Among tbe reasons given to the public forfho act are. first, tho nnmoae of tho Attmutv Oeneralto open an office for the practice of jkw in nuKiuiiKiDn, anu seeona, nis intention to go to Oregon and enter upon a vigorous campaign for a seat in tbe Senate at the expira tion of Senator Kelly's term. Mr. Ben Hoiladay don't think he can iret into the Senate, and ht is remnnea as a snowing one, u not power in such matters. "We shall see what- we shall see. and that's all I can sav aliont It. . Although Senator Sargent, of California, has spoftcn oiii ior tin rreaiueni on me "third term." it is-resarded tn tbe aat as still ah onen question nobody seems to knew what the views of His Excellency are nnon the subject. This ranch I can sav. however: Before I went cms. I believed him to be the strongest uuut in . thu- p.nrtv. wnereas, l am now convinced that I was mistaken, and that be could not be re-elected in 187S. en. Sherman, Mr. Blaine, Mr. Morion, Mr. Conkling or Gen. Brtstow would he a Strom "er ticket, and of these the first is decid edly th i strongest, while the second is next. It m ems t tie pretty generally conceded that the Pacific Sti-tes should have the Vice President, and Senato-Jones, of Nevada, is freely snoken of in that enineetion. Vice President Wilson has been. an"l Is still, on a pretty extensive tour, and if i ' thought his eyes are turned toward the Cha T Just above him ; but I hnvnt seen any one wl thinks be will do more than gaze at, and lonif for it. The old gentleman will never resell it. In the Demoe.ravSe nomination Xew Yorkers talk a! Mint Tildcn, Ko.Vjnan and Seymonr. while Western Democrats are Dressinir Hendricks and Thurmond. There will m doubt lie grand old contests, over the nominations, and after these are settled an exciting and lively campaign till the election and this latter will embrace even the Stiu es on the Pacitiu. It 1s already lively East, and will grow more and ,tore so as the time annroaches for the assemblies; of the eon. vent ions. Of this one thino- von mav mat assured there will be no doubtful or " com promise M candidate in tle field. The Republi cans will present a Bennhlle&n and Mm IJeinm. crats a Democratic ticket. This poi-pose Is plainly foreshadowed already, and will be carried out to a moral certainty. .. JmCIGUATIOIT. The emlirration fever haa nnl si-ilwl.i,, - On the contrary.

The exercises had nearly closed and a vesper service was being sung, when the flame from a candle caught the drapery around the statue of the Vtmrin Mary, and streamed up andcangbtthe building. Immediately a panic ensued and the people rushed for t he- doors. There was but one entrance to the gallervi and that from the front. On tbe stairway lending from the gallery the people were packed in a solid mass, struggling to clear themselves, aa the flames rushed in that direction, and this soon became blocked, rendering exit impossible. Many jumped over the sldeaof the galleries on the crowd beneath and were trampled and killed. Tlie priest's residence Joins the church on the rear, and many escaped through an entrance leading to tlie house back of tlie alter. The priest's exertions to kecporder were fruit less. The screams of the living and moans of the dying made a deafening tumult above tlie orders of tlie pastor who worked most heroic ally and was personally instrumental in Hiving many lives. One family of four were in the church and aU killed. Many were pulled out by the arms and feet so badly burned tint they lived but a few hours, the flesh peeling from them on being touched. Some were taken out with scarcely any flesh remaining on their bones. Tlie Sisters of Mercy from the convent were soon on band, caring for the wounded and holding services over the dying. Father Uu fresne also held service, his mother being ' among those terribly burned. He lost nearly all in his residence, so rapidly it burned. The large wooden tenement block of Joseph l'erew, near the bnrned church, was thrown open for the reception of the dead and the wounded. Several deaths occurred in the building dur ing the night. Several were also taken to the New York Mills' boarding house, and physi cians gave the wounded the best care. Those who were too badly bnrned to move were put nnder the effects of morphine and passed away without a strngle. While the exercises were being held over tlie dying the most intense quiet prevailed, and the laborers knelt on the floor with uncovered heads. But about the Monroe and in the streets the wailing of the multitudes was pitiful to bear. Several members of one hose company were playing ball near the oharcli when the fln broke out, and a relief steamer was out for practice, so that the fire department was promptly on the spot. Tbe scenes at the doors are aescnoea as ternoie. -j ney were oiockea with straggling people seeking exit. Outside i the police tue&red the way several times, bnt as often tt would become blocked up aarain. The windows were broken open and several escaped in teat way. The last to get out of tbe church was said to be a man with his wife sod : daughter. The father took np his daughter and rushed with her to place of safety. .Louis Lanfflom. of Riverside mill, went info aid, when a little girl came tnmuling down be- lore me uoor umier urn ieet ot ine thronir. l iiuukh lie uunicu ma uuitiut rsiu.lv in ClOIng SO, he was able topullher out, but the little girl was Injured. . .
