Brooklyn Theatre on Fire—Great Panic—Terrible Loss of Life. Brooklyn, N. Y , Dee. 7.—Fire broke out last nighr, on the stage of the Brooklyn Theatre during the performance of the Two Orphans. Mr. Studiy, who played ’he part of Jacques made an effort to calm the ex-cited audleiYee. He stepped to the foot lights aud said : “There is no trouble here ; there is no fire, ladles and gentlemen ; keep your seats.” Many resumed their seats, but only for a few seconds. The flames spread rapidly, and the theatre was soon enveloped iu flames. The audience rushed for the door, women fainted, the aisles were block-cd and many were thrown down and tram-pled on. The ushers and police made every effort to induce the people ts retire iu good order, without effect. The heat was intense ; men fell helpless to the floor. LATER. 10 a. m.—Bodies were found this m orning ing iu great heaps within a few feet of the door. It is supposed they went down when the lobbies fell. They are burned beyond reeognil ion. Eighty-six names are register cd as missing, among whom is H, S. Mur-dock, the actor who, after endeavoring to-calm the crowd last night, went to his dress-ing room. Forty-four bodies have been re-covered. It is supposed that at least a hun-dred remain. It will take all day to get the remains from the red hot ruins. It is sup-posed that the dead are those who were in the dress circle and gallery. STILL LATER. 5 o’clock p. in.—Two hundred and forty-five bodies have been recovered. The ex-citcment is intense. The courts have ad-journed, and there is scarcely any business doing. The Park theatre has closed for the week.

(Condensed from telegraphic dispatches.) The President commences with a recapitu-lation of the events of his officieal acts of the past eight years. He says: Mistakes have been made, as all can see, and I admit; but, It seems to me, oftener in the selection made of assistants appointed to aid in car-rying out the various duties of administt r ing the government, in nearly every case selected without a personal ’acquaintance with the appointee, but on recoinmendu-tions of the representatives chosen directly by the people. It is impossible, where so many trusts are to be alioted, that the right parties should be chosen in every instance. History shows that no administration, from the time of Washington to the present, lias been free from these mistakes. But I leave comparisons to history, claiming only thar I have acted in every instance from a desire to do what was right and constitutional aid for the very best interests of the whole peo-pie. Failures have been errors of judg-ment, not of interest. The message says taxes have been re-duced, within the last seren years, nearly three hundred millions, ami the national debt has been reduced, iu the same time, over four hundred and thirty-five millions by substituting bonds. The annual interest on the public debt has been reduced thirty millions per annum The balance of trade has changed from one hundred and thirty millions against the United States, totwen-ty millions in our favor. He pieges Congress to resume specie pay-ments in 1869. The policy adopted toward the Indiaus has been humane, aud hassubstantially end-ed hostilities iu the whole land, except in the Black Hills and the approaches thereto. Relations with Foreign nations continue ftieudly. The subject of troubles ou the Rio Grande is under consideration between the United States and Mexico. The President asks leg-islation which may provide f >r the pay-ment of awards of the Mexican Claims Com-mission. He recommends legislation to prevent fraudulent naturalization, and on the sub-jectof expatriation and election of nation-ality in the interest of immigration. H« suggests a new tribunal for the settle-ment of claims of aliens ogaint the United States. He states the provisions of the act of Con-gross for admitting Coloradointo the Union, and that he issued a proclamation to that effect. Additional appropriations for the army, are asked. He says the improvement of the South Pass of the Mississippi river, under J. B, Eads aud his associates, is progressing fa-vorably. The Navy is in a condition as effective as possible within the means’ and authority giyen the department. A few Postmasters in the Southern States have expressed a great apprehension of their personal safety on account of their connection with the Postal Service, aud haye specially requested that their reports of apprehended danger should not be made public, iesi It should result in the loss of thelrlives; but no positive testimony of in* terference has been submitted, except in the case of a mall messenger at Spinans-burg, South Carolina, who reported that he had been violently driveu rway while in charge ©f the mails, on account of his po-lltlcal affinities. An assistant superintendent of the rail-way mail service investigated this case and reported that the messenger had disappear - cd from his post, leaving his work to be performed by a substitute. The Postmaster General thinks this case Is sufficiently sug-gestive to justify him in recommending that a more severe punishment should bo provi-ded for the offense of »saulting any person iu charge of the mails, or of retarding or otherwise obstructing them, by threats of personal injury. The President calls the attention of Con-gress to the necessity of providing a greater safe guard over the method of choosing and declaring the eiaction of President. He says the compulsory support of the free schools aud tho disfranchisement of all who can’t read and write the English language, after a fixed probation, would meet his hearty approval. He makes elaborate reference of his re-commendation for the annexation of San Domingo. After describing the advantages that would have accrued, he says the Cuban question would have been settled long ago, in favor of free.Cuba. He adds, and con-eludes, that the Gland, Santo Donmingo, is but sparsely fettled, while it has an area sufficient for the profitable employment of several mlllious of people, and that the soil would have soon fallen into the hands of United States capitalists. The’ products are so valuable in commerce that the emi-gration there would have been encouraged. The emancipated race of the South would have found there a congenial home, where their ciyil rights would be so much sought after that the poor-est among them could have found friends, and would go thus, in cases of great oppres-sion and cruelty, such as has been practiced upon them iu many places within the last 11 years. Whole communities would have sought refuge iu Santo Domingo. I don’t suppose the whole race would have gone, nor is it dt6irabiethat they should go there. Their labor is desirable and disposable where they now are, but the possession of this territory would have left the negro mas-ter of the situation by enabling him to de-mand his rights at home, on pain of finding ihem elsewhere. I do not present these views now as a recommendation for a renew-al of the subject of annexation, but I do refer to It to vindicate my previous action, in regard to it. With the present Congress my official life terminates. It is not probable that, public affairs will ever again receive attention from me, furth erthan as a citizen of the republic, always taking a deep interest in the honor, integrity and prosperi y of the whole land. (Signed) U. S. Grant. Executive Mansion, Dec. 5,1876. Letter from Lein. Jo lies. White Rock, McLennan Co., / Nov. 18, 1876. f Ed. Examiner and Patron: In your paper of Nov. KKb, you do not correctly represent the ac-tion of the Convention that elected delegates to the State Grange, es-pecially do you misstate my action. You say in your notice of that con-vention that (I use your own lan-guage) “Bro. Lem Jones, of White Hock, was present, and we under-stand gave expression in very de-cided terms to his opposition to the Examiner and Patron as the ofli-cial jounal. Indeed, offered a reso- Iution instructing the delegates to oppose the Examiner and Patron, or any other political paper, as the official journal.” I offered no such resolution. The convention did not “vote down,” any such resolution, neither did the convention vote down any resolu-tion or motion that I made. I did make a motion, “that the delegates bo instructed to, if they could rea-suitably do so, procure an agricultu-ral paper as the official journal of the Grange.” Before J made the motion 1 knew that a majority of the convention was in favor of an agricultural paper as the official journal. At the suggestion of two of the members of that convention, who favored an {agricultural paper for the official journal, I withdrew the motion, it was not “voted down.” I did give decided expression in opposition to any political paper a* the official journal. My expres sion in opposition to the Examiner and Patron was still more decided. Could you, did you expect anything else of me ? If so, you have more confidence in your influence with me than I give you credit for. Again you say, “Well, if we must, me must, still we can never regret tlie Examiners’ course in insisting that, as a member of the the Legislature he should never have said, that no gentleman would serve in that capacity at two dol-lars a day, and as for himself he never would.” My record as a member ot the Legislature, says that I voted to grant Col. Coleman, of Harrison county, leave to intro-duce a bill to fix the pay of mem-bers of the Legislature, in all called sessions, at two dollars a day. The Journal of the House of Represen-tatives will also show that I voted against the resolution that did ad-journ the Legislature on the 21st day of August. I did so because the business of the Legislature, as prescribed by the constitution, was not completed. 1 voted against rescinding the resolution passed by the Senate aud the House, ad-journing the Legislature on the 31st day of July. I did so for this purpose, if possible, to save to the State for the benefit of free schools, and pro emptors, that vast land grant made to the Texas Pacific railroad. After I failed in that, l voted against adjourning until the necessary Legislation was comple ted. My record, as above stated, is as much defense as I desire fo make upon that subjuct. As you have said in a former article, that your paper was open for any proper de-fense, I ask for this a place in it.. Respectfully, Lem Jones. P. S. I did serve many days at two dollars a day which was less money than my expenses each day. Lem .Jones. We publish the above commuui-cktion from Col. Lem Jones, simply because we are sincerely desirous to do him, as all others, ample justice in our columns. We are satisfied, from a conference with him that wo have, as the result of misinfor-misunderstood him, espe-his course in Change o Tunc, The following change in the arrival ami departure of train6 went, into effect on the Waco Tap Railroad last Sunday evening: No. 32, leaves at 7:30 a. m. No. 34, leaves at 8:29 p. m. No. 3l, arrives as 9:35 p. m. No. 33, arrives at 5:80 a. m. The trains will run dally, except. No. 33, w_ich will not run on Monday. ma ion, cially with respect to denouncing and opposing the Exam-iner. In the convention which as-sembled in this city to eTect dele-gates to the State Grange, we are satisfied that Col. Jones did not in-veigh against the Examiner, or in-tend to introduce any resolution prompted by a spirit of opposition to us. Indeed, be says so. On this poiut there was a misunderstanding, and we regret it. We here take oc-casion again to say, that the propri-etor of this paper deeply regrets anything of a personal nature that may have appeared in its columns against Col. Jones. While he has differed from him on some questions, lie has ever entertained for him the kindest feelings, and it was not his iintention to do him injustice, or his preference that the paper snould haye been used as a medium of per-sonal attack. Ilarc CUanee lor a Colony. Col. D. D. Sanderson, by letter frout Prairie Valley, announces his large aud beautiful tract of laud, near that place, iu Hill county, for sale. / feel, says the Col-onel, physically unable to the task of developing so Urge a place—aclrcumstaiice which we regret exceedingly, well knowing that were his physical equal to his uieutal ability, he would not now think of parting with the place, hut would consummate his pi?iii of making it one of the most beautiful, as it is naturally one of the most fertile, places iu all Texas. Tbe tract contains 4465 acres, fronting oue and a half miles on the Urazos, by six miles oast; 1400 acres en-closed under good stake-and-rider fence, Slid acres under cultivation and 1500 acres of good timber. Thesw lands are very line and were selected by the late. Sterling (J. Robertson as premium lands for settling hi* colony. The title, consequently, is in-dubitable. Uol. Sanderson proposes selling to a coin-ny or to any one purchaser, as he dislikes to be at the trouble of selling it off in small tracts, and to such a purchaser he will soil ou extiemely liberal terms. For a young man possessed of the requi-site strength and means the opportunity is one not often to be met with, even lu Texas, aud the extension ot the W. & N. W. Rail-i road, passing very near, within a year or less time, renders the present an exceedingly op-qortune moment to buy. nov21d*£wtf
