From "Washington.
WjuanxGTOtr, April 11—Grant has determined, it
ja stated, when a nominee is rejected by the Senate,
to select a new name outside of the applicants on
file, thus hoping to cure the disposition of rival ap
plicants to oppose the person nominated.

Tbe Destruction of Madison.
TEP.UIUr.B CONFLAGRATION.
Prom the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel of
the 10th and 11th instant we copy the following
accountof the terrible calamity which has be
fallen the beantifnl town of Madison, in Morgan
On last Thursday night (8th instant), the Bt.
:■ I- l.op 15,-ckwith. Episcopal Bishop of the
Diocese of Georgia, preached in the Methodist
Church of Mndison to an unusually large and at
tentive audience, and at tho close of his dis
course administered the rite of confirmation to
a class of converts. Scarcely had this been done
and the congregation dismissed, when the cry of
“ fire!”. was heard, and in a very short time the
beautiful little town was in ashes. The fire orig
inated in a large wooden building and store
house occupied by Mr. J. 0. Broughton and sit
uated on the western side of the public square.
It is not known how it was first started, but is
supposed to havs been the work of an incendiary.
This bnilding soon became enveloped in flames,
and all efforts made to save it proved unavail
ing. Prom this point the flames spread to the
■tores situated on each side of the one first
named, and the conflagration became general.
The business portion of Madison, like nearly nil
the county towns of a similar size is the State,
to built in the shape of a hollow square, in the
center of which stood the Court House, and
lining the four sides were nearly all tho stores
which the town contained. Tho store of Mr.
liroughon was situated, we believe, almost in
the very heart of tho town, and it will readily be
perceived by tho reader that when it was found
impossible to quell the flames at that point, in
what eminent danger all the other business
houses were placed. Accordingly, the fiery
monster soon gained possession of ffiestores
adjoining, nearly all of which were wooden
buildings of a very combustible nature, and the
fate of the town was sealed.
Although the first alarm given had had the
effect of summoning almost the entire male
population of tho place to tho scene of danger,
yet having no firo department to aid them, and
no other facilities for extinguishing tho flames,
their exertions, though described as almost
superhuman, were without avail, and tho fire
steadily and with great rapidity advanced on
its march of destruction. Store after store suc
cumbed to tho destroyer, and ere one was half
connoted the cries of tho spectators announced
that another one was ignited. The scene at
this time is described as fearful beyond descrip
tion. The square was filled with a mass of men,
women and children, who, turned snddenly out
of their homes, stood and witnessed the destruc
tion of their property and yet were utterly
powerless to provent it. The crackling of the
flames, the falling of the burning timbers, the
pillar of firo shooting high toward the heavens
and shedding its lurid light on the crowd below
of unnerved men and screaming females, com
bined to form a picture the horrors of which can
never bo effaced from tho minds of tho specta
tors. The brooking out of the fire was so sud
den, the conflagration progressed with such great
rapidity, that scarcely anything was saved from
tho different houses, and what was taken away
was principally furniture, which was injured so
ranch in tho removal os to render it of bnt tittle
servioe.
Tho flames, after destroying twenty-nine
stores (every one in the town exoept one), com
prising several dry goods and grocery stores,
two or three drug-stores, two carriage manufac
tories, two billiard saloons and four or five bar
rooms, together with the office of the Farm
Journal, and a large number of private resi
dences, were finally subdued, more from a want
of something to prey on, than from any other
cause. The Court-house and hotel fortunately
escaped. The loss sustained is impossible R3
yet to estimate correctly, but is everywhere con
ceded to havo been immense. Tho worst fea
ture of the whole business is that during the
fire nearly every pound of provisions in the
town was consumed; what escaped is wholly in
sufficient to supply tho wants of the people, and
they are said to be actually suffering for bread.
In view of this distressing circumstance, we
would most earnestly suggest the propriety of
our citizens taking the matter in hand at once
and raising a fund with which to assist the un
fortunate people of Madison in tho extremity.
• To such a cause as this we feel convinced there
are but few among us who would refuse to con
tribute; but in this case, we learn that it is
essential that the relief so greatly needed should
be sent as quickly as is possible. A large num
ber of m,en and women, their houses destroyed
by the flames and their supplies consumed at the
same time, are without a shelter and without
means of support. In this emergency they call
upon the people of Augusta to assist them; sure
ly our citizens will heed the appeal.
On yesterday morning tho Chronicle A Senti
nel contained an accountof a'terrible conflagra
tion of last"Thursday night, which destroyed
the beautiful and prosperous town of Madison.
To-day wo are enabled to give the names of the
principal sufferers, their estimated losses and
tho estimated losses of the insurance companies.
Our account in yesterday's issue was, in ihe
main, correct; but our statement of the num
ber of buildings destroyed by the flames and
their value was. we regret to say, incorrect. In
stead of forty-six buildings being burned, at a
probable loss of two hundred thousand dollars,
we learn that, including stores and dwellings,
nearly 6ixty were burned, at a loss of about
$300,000. The fire broke forth so suddenly,
and the flames, fanned by a strong wind, which
arose about ten o’clock that night, spread so ra
pidly, that it was found impossible to save any
thing. Some idea of this rapidity may be gained
by tlio reader, when it’ is known that the fire
commenced at half past nine o'clock that night,
and was extinguished at half past twelve—a
whole town having been reduced to ashes in the
incredible short space of three hours.
The inhabitants, unnerved by the suddenness
of the danger, and having no means of quench
ing the flames, except by throwing buckets of
water upon them, were unable to save scarcely
anything from the houses, and what little they
did manage to save was stolen by the swarm of
negro thieves who flocked about the streets of
the burning town. But two stores are left
standing in the whole place. “We have been
furnished by a gentleman just from Madison
with a partial list of the stores and other build
ings destroyed, together with the losses sus
tained. Of course at this time it is impossible
to make the list more complete: Messrs. Winn
A Peacock's dry good store, loss seven thousand

insurance agencies of thin city had insurance for
more than eight or ten thousand dollars. The
Southern Home Insurance Co. of Columbus is
thought to be the principal loser, as it had estab
lished a local agency in the town of Madison.
Peace Dawns on Paraguay.
From Ihe Neto York Commercial Advertuer.]
Wo have the welcome intelligence morn
ing that tho Allies, convinced of the folly of
further attempts to subjugate Paraguay and
partition tho country among themselves, have
offered terms of peace to Lopez. Tho latter,
greatly reduced in mon and material, as he is,
will doubtless accept of these terms, and we
may look for an immediate termination of the
long and bloody, strife, which has decimated
ono nation, deprived others of the flower of
their yonth, and saddled all : engaged with enor
mous financial burdens.
It will be fivo years next November since the
first blow was struck in this war. The contest
has therefore continued for about the same pe
riod as the Southern rebellion. Inasmuch as
tho causes and immediate origin of the war are
bnt tittle understood hero, we will briefly atinde
to them. Some twelve hundred miles from the
ocean, tho Parana River receives the Paraguay,
and here’is the lowest boundary of the Para
guayan Republic, for it claims tho land between
these rivers. Above tho junction of the riven,
and the right hand side of the Parana, Brazil
assorted the land was hers to the water, and
claimed equal rights in the river navigation.
Paraguay denied these claims, but permitted
Brazil to send a few steamers up the nver every
year. Brazil chafed under these restraints im
posed upon her commerce. She could not, how
ever, reach Paraguay to fight her except by the
rivers,(and these were controled by UUruguay
and tho Argentine Confederation, which coun
try had no idea of permitting so powerful a
neighbor to get behind their strongholds. So
matters continued for some years, and Brazil
waited her opportunity to form an alliance with
tho last mentioned countries, whereby she could
get at Paraguay. The'opportunity finally came.
In 18C3 there lived in the wilderness of Gran
Chaco, in the Argentine Confederation, an able
soldier and statesman, Vemancio Flores by
name, who had been banished from Uruguay
when the Blancos camo into power. He had
headed the opposition to the Blancos, viz., the
Colorados or Bed Party, and it now seemed a
fitting time to return to the country and seek
their overthrow. Biding about among the cat
tle men, he easily persuaded them to enter into
his plans, and the horsemen of Pampas flocked
to his standard by thousands. Having thus
raised a formidable army he opened negotiations
with Brazil, offering to assist that country in
making war on Paraguay, provided Brazil would
assist him in overthrowing the Blancos. The
terms were accepted. Flores moved upon Mon-
teviedo, the capital of Uruguay, and besieged
the city by land, while a Brazilian fleet attacked
it in front. The city surrendered, and the Cot
orados party was again in power. Tho second
city of Uurugnay, Pysandne, held out till it was
razed to the ground, and the General command
ing cruelly murdered.
Brazil now called upon the Uruguayan Gov
ernment to reciprocate and furnish aid against
Paraguay. The call was honored. The dec
laration of war was, however, delayed until an
arrangement could be made with the Argentine
Confederation. The latter hadlong been jealous
of the growing prosperity of Paraguay. 'While
the Confederation was almost bankrupt, Para
guay had money. Tho latter likewise had the
best railroad and the best machine shops in
South America. Brazil and Uruguay made pro
posals which excited |tho cupidity of the Con
federation. All the countries combined num
bered eleven million people, while little .Para
guay embraced only one million. I would be a
comparatively easy matter to make mince of
and swallow the latter. Accordingly, the Gov
ernments held a council, and on May 1st the
plenipotentiaries drewnp a secret alliance against
defences, rolling back every fresh assault in con
fusion and slaughter; and how, at last, having
his works turned, ho was compelled to abandon
Yiletta and Angostura, and retreat to fresh de
fences fifty miles in the interior. It is a tale of
heroism, endurance,self-sacrifice and devotion to
country, which is only equalled by the story of
Aetherland’g opposition to Spanish tyranny and
outrage. It stamps the Paraguayans as a he
roic people, of whom the Western people may
indeed be proud, and who can bnt have a glori
ous future before them.
After Lopez's retreat in December last, the
Allies established a provisional government at
Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay. The people,
however, would have nothing to do with it, but
continued to cry ‘‘Long live Lopez.” This, to
gether with a knowledge of the fact that Lopez
is again ready toreceive them 51th a fresh army
I in the mountains, has led the Allies to decide
upon a peace. They have, therefore, as appears
from a Lisbon dispatch this -morning, sent a
Brazilian Commissioner to Asuncion to nego
tiate peace on condition that the independence
of Paraguay shall not be impaired and that Lo
pez shall guarantee freedom of navigation on
tho Paraguay and Plata rivers, and relinquish
Matto Grosso and other temtoiy which he had
seized daring the war. The acceptanco of these
conditions will place Lopez where he was at tho
start, with the exception of" holding absolute
control of internal navigation. This right or
claim he can well afford to surrender, inasmuch
as the conclusion of the treaty wholly defeats
the Allied plans and purposes as revealed in
their secret treaty, and brings peace to his ex
hausted country.
And so the “inhuman wretch and tyrant,”
as some of our cotemporaries havo loved to
style Lopez, has triumphed at last. The devo
tion of his countrymen who have clung to his
fortunes so steadfastly are rewarded, and their
country, government, homes and firesides are
preserved to them.
Talking at Grant.
Don Piatt, of the Cincinnati Commercial, has
been interviewing Grant, and tells, in the fol
lowing manner, how he did it:
General Dent was about to send in our cards
when Senator Sherman appeared. Senators
had precedence, and so we waited. In about
two minutes the messenger retained. General
Dent gave him our cards, and we followed
across the hall to tho office of the President
Like nearly all the rooms in the White House,
this has tho same.barn-tike appearance. We
-found the President sitting at a desk on a rotary
chair, smoking his everlasting cigar, and listen
ing to a gentleman far gone in years and adi
pose. Senator Sherman sat in cool patience so
peculiar to him, on a sofa, waiting his opportu
nity, for onco in presence of his Excellency, our
fountain of honor, tho precedence, disappears,
and each one takes his tarn.
I snt down and indulged in a prolonged store
at tho man,who now,with us, holds our thoughts.
In tho same way I had, wbslie downy yoath,l
stared at-Polk, and then at Pierce, ono of the
most graceful and accomplished public charac
ters, and then at Lincoln, each one, in his tarn,
the centre of a nation's solicitude—and each one
had gone his way—down the stops of the Re
publican palace to be almost forgotten. I must
say that the man 1 saw before me, quietly smok
in'; and listening, was more of acharacter^more
of a mystery, than any one of them. He re
minds me more and more of Louis Napoleon—
of course I do not mean in his outward appear
ance, for Louis Napoleon is horribly ugly—bnt
in liis manner, and, above all, in tho dead cold
look of his face, that impresses me with tho be
lief that there is back of it a force wo cannot get
I at or comprehend.
The venerable gentleman got-through at last, |
ami Senator Sherman hastened, with unwonted
vigor, to take his place.
1 could not hear the conversation, but I en
joyed the interview. Senator John is one of
those cold, impassive sort of men who let yon
do tho talking, and here he had to talk. Tho
President looked at him over tho end of his
burning cigar, and it was all the warmth that
was visible. Beyond, at long intervals, a soli
tary yes or no, there wo3 no response, and the
Senator was forced to lean forward and talk ear
nestly and rapidly. He might as well have ora
ted at tho bronze figure on the mantle piece for
all the enter effect manifested. The interview
lasted about twenty-fivo or thirty minutes, and
then tho Senator stalked out and we came for
ward. I was introduced, and received the com
pliment of a quick glance that for the sixteenth
part of a second tit np his eyes, and then passed
out. For another sixteenth part of a second his
bands lay passively in mine. I said:
“As I had no business with' you, Mr. Presi-
d. nt. I was about leaving the city without evenl
laying my respects, os I knew you were besot
iy good people having business.”
' That is pleasant,” he said, quietly. HI
I fear,” I continued, “that the pleasure will
ho short-lived, fori have foursome business.”
* ‘That is not so pleasant,” he said, and smiled.
“You will permit mo to state
“Certainly.”
Hi then went into my tittle affair, that took
abont ten minutes of has time. Ending, I said :
“ Good-bye, Mr. President. I hope you will
have health and strength enough to reform our
civil service and get the revenues honestly col
lected and disbursed.”
“ I intend to try,” he replied, “ and if one set
won’t do it, I’ll try another, and koep 'trying
until I find honest and capable men.”
I felt comfortable. I had called a quick look
into his eyes, and had been honored with the
longest speech he had uttered while I was in
the room.
Now, if you ask me what I think of General
Grant, I will tell you I do not Imow. I believe
that he is honest, earnest, and in tho great work
he has before him, I hope, capable. Ho cer
tainly walks out upon it alone. The old sort
who gather abont .the President, are intimate
with and iiffluence him, are not abont Grant. I
do not feel the influence in the atmosphere. It
may bo all right, bnt I do not know. I only
hope it is.

How anv one, after reading this treaty, could do
otherwise than sympathize with Faraguay, we
cannot understand.. All the Liberals of Europe
who sided with ns in the struggle against tae
South have sided with Lopez, and we can attrib
ute the pursuit of an opposite course by the
Tribune, Evening Post, and other American pa
pers, to nothing but ignorance of the existence
of this infamous treaty. - ‘ ,
Meanwhile, Lopez appeared to divine the de
signs of the conspirators against his Govern
ment, and accordingly, taking time by the fore
lock, he advanced with an army upon the Bra
zilian province of Matto Grosso, conquered and
occupied it, and has been able to hold it ever
since. He, at the same time, captured the Bra
zilian mail steamer en route in the river Parana
to province, and declared the river closed
against all Brazilian shipping. Our readers are
familiar wtth the details of the war which fol
lowed - how Lopez was brilliantly successful
first, but was finally compelled by overwhelming
numbers to change the offensive for thedefen-
sive and fallback to his elaborately constructed
line of defences; how, year after year he mam-
Staed a gallant heroic resistance behmd those

disgust-of the Allies, however, some one in

it public in April, 1866, and the entire schemes
